Like everything about it. He always brings the Yorkshire Dales to life with his stories.

The narrator was superb!

Revisado: 05-22-24

This was an interesting concept in the way that the book was put together, and the author was a master at setting a scene, I felt like I was reading poetry sometimes, but I had a hard time remembering who was who after I had read their chapters.

Great narrator

Revisado: 05-07-24

Man narration was the best one. I have heard on Audible yet. The story had some interesting sections, but the last half had way too much detail about trading and I fell asleep during some chapters and woke up and whether it was 10 minutes or a half an hour later it’s still sounded the same.

Not too graphic.

I really preferred this book to the last in the series because it wasn’t as gruesome. I found The Birdcage Murders to be just too troubling. I look forward to the next one.

I love the narrator and the story 

Revisado: 02-27-24

The only thing that I don’t like about this book is the way the music interrupts the stories. When it starts, it feels like the chapter should be over, but it’s right in the middle of a story and then it starts again and the story continues. It just seems jarring and unnecessary. It would be better to have the music in between each chapter. But this series is so phenomenal! I read it 45 years ago and saw the original. PBS show with the same narrator as the main character and I still love it

I enjoyed getting to know the villagers

It’s one of the few mysteries where I guessed the murderer, but there were enough twists that I wasn’t sure.

Repeated things over and over.

Revisado: 07-21-23

I am always very interested in the holocaust, and I’ve read a lot of books, both fiction and nonfiction on the subject. This was the poorest written book that I have read. It was as though the author had written it without an outline or notes or anything, because he just kept saying the same things over and over again.

Slow and boring

Revisado: 05-28-22

I have read all of the other Gabriel Alon novels up till this one. I have enjoyed most of them tremendously and learned a lot. This one was almost entirely narration in the third person and it has no dynamic tension or action or anything of interest. I found it extremely difficult to pay attention to the best part was the last paragraph. I hope the ones coming up are better than this one was because the writer is incredibly gifted

Clean Harlequinesque mystery

Revisado: 03-24-22

I read the entire merciful series by this author and enjoyed it but this feels like just a rehash of the style and type of mystery and romance, including the style of reading. There’s nothing wrong with it, it just seems a little simplistic

Not my taste

Revisado: 01-07-22

I did not like the narrators voice sounding like the 11 year old girl that she was portraying it just was very tedious and forced. I also did not relate at all to the story and couldn’t get very far. Unfortunately I waited too long to return this book
