wonderful narrator

Revisado: 12-05-24

well written, pulls the reader in. Great characters. but I was able to guess killer too early. otherwise would have been a 5 star.

Too long and main mystery is weak

Revisado: 11-21-24

I found the main mystery to be confusing and uninteresting. i had a hard time keeping track of who was killed and why. The secondary plot about the plague was more interesting.

confusing time shifts

Revisado: 09-27-24

Great narrator can't save confusing story. Constant shifts between character scenes disrupted the flow if the narrative. And what was the point of the air tag which is mentioned twice and never seen again. Other actions by characters make little sense.

Judith is annoying for far too long

Revisado: 08-17-24

Most of the book is spent with Judith accusing each of the suspects of the crime/s and explaining how and why they did it. Her rush to judgement was generally based on one clue, which the suspect then explained away. Her need to be one step ahead of the police at every turn became tedious and unbelievable. Book needed to be shortened by about 2 hours.

terrible narration makes it impossible to follow

Revisado: 07-17-23

I'm perplex why the Narrator, Hillary, is even a character. the lack of variety in character voices made the story hard to follow. Half-way through I didn't care who did it and stopped listening.

Story lost in long author lectures

Revisado: 01-20-23

This is the 2nd book in the series. I enjoyed the first one. This one, not so much. I am 1/2 way through and not sure I will finish. The mystery and murder are lost in long lectures on women's rights, individualism, child poverty, and other social issues that distract from the story. The story just seems like a convenient way for the author to lecture the reader. Not sure I will give the next book my credit. Also, narrator's American accent is confusing. Jason is supposedly from New York but his accent seems southern at times. And I'm not sure an 11-year-old American boy in 1866, who spent time with the Union Army in a prison camp would have such an audible Irish accent.

stayed up all night

Revisado: 11-27-22

It's rare that a story keeps me up until I have finished it. Well written, well narrated. It reads almost like nonfiction. I learned and was entertained at the same time.

Didn't hold my interest

Revisado: 09-07-22

it took me about 6 months to finish. I felt no pull to finish it. Too much sex. strange that so many men wanted to rape Hildegard.

Narrator yelled most of Lennox's dialogue.

Revisado: 01-21-22

For some reason, possibly the bland dialogye, the narrator felt he had to raise his voice for much of the male dialog. And most of the female dialog was so low it was hard to hear. except fir the one young women who shrieked her way through the book.

italian hard to hear and bizzare vocabulary select

Revisado: 08-24-21

I didn't finish this book. Even asleep I dont need to know the Italian for urine sample, sonogram, toaster, or blender. The first chapter includes professions and kitchen appliances. could the author have looked for more common words that someone studying Italian might want to learn. In an effort to be calming and induce sleep. the Italian speakers voice is so low and mellow it is often difficult to understand her pronunciation. I plan on returning.
