Not much about this book is memorable

Revisado: 12-11-24

Just okay. I never spent a second wondering how it would turn out. No twists no conflict.

A story without setting

Revisado: 06-12-23

I wanted to love this book but couldn’t. The story was strong but the actual research seemed lacking. It felt like just another resistance tale this time set in Holland though it might have been anywhere. The sisters succeeded at all aspects of dangerous work which was implausible. Forging documents required a great deal of skill. Minor mistakes also took away from the story. A telegram is typed—there is no handwriting. All in all I still enjoyed it but wished these simple details had been addressed.

Loved it. Well researched and intriguing. I could have happily listened for another eight hours.

Possibly a book better read than listened to

Revisado: 12-11-22

I was up and down with this book. Not sure Paris belongs in the title, but it's a way to sell WWII books. There was no feel for the city one way or another. The story became more compelling with time, and the author did a good with the ending. My biggest problem was with the narration. The part of the young boy should have been read by one of the female narrators. Having an adult male reading the part was unsettling and detracted from the story. Otherwise, it was an above-average story.

A lot of ups and downs with this book but overall a good listen

Revisado: 11-28-22

I had a tough time listening to this book in the beginning. It wasn’t overly engaging initially but as time went on I was drawn in by the story. The narrator selection was odd and at some points detracted from the story especially when Sam’s POV was included. Given his age it would have been better performed by a female. I did appreciate the tough subject the author tackled (amazingly well).
One final growing pet peeve—must Paris be in the title of a WWII story? That and Code Name — fill in the blank seem to be used as a sales gimmick and it’s getting old.

Sound quality makes listening frustrating

Revisado: 10-14-18

Death on the Nile is entertaining and a puzzle for those who don’t know the story. Unfortunately the character volume inconsistency made listening difficult. The worst was Poirot, the detective. Half the time no one in our car could hear him when the narrator dropped his voice. I would not recommend this particular recording to anyone.
