Abrupt ending

Revisado: 05-27-21

I liked the story, but it ended too abruptly. I like a more satisfying ending.

Too much explicit sex.

Revisado: 06-08-19

None of the other books had this kind of explicit language. I really love Linley and the Sgt. but this book really was a shocker. The story was convoluted and hard to follow. I hope the rest are NOT like this one.

One of the best books i have enjoyed for some time.

Revisado: 03-07-18

The language and imagination of the author was incredible. The history was so very interesting. This novel is not for the escapist reader because the philosophy and “thinking” are very deep. I love how the story wove the character’s lives into a satisfying conclusion. It was a great 17 hours listening. I am lucky to be able to listen continuously over a couple of days as i paint. Being retired, I could lose myself into the London of another time. The reader’s voice was pleasant and did not make abrupt changes for characters as some narrators, but just enough inflection and rate of speech to distinguish each character. Thank you Rachel Kadish for such an enjoyable journey into another time and place while the wild winds of Oklahoma blew across my yard .

Read the first book first

Revisado: 03-12-17

Mystery, fantasy, magic, and music with a bit of bedroom fun and frolic. What if we could see the past and still be in the present.

Like taking an audible trip to Venice.

I have listened to all of the Donna Leon mysteries, and now I really understand much of the character of the city and the characters of her books. It was very pleasant to listen and color.

What did you love best about Death of Yesterday?

Once again, Beaton has written a clever and tangled mystery. But the ever clever Hamish figures it all out, much to the anger of his superiors. Now if he could just get his love life on the right track. Too bad they don't go for bigamy in the Highlands, or maybe it should be a same sex union.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Death of Yesterday?

The revelation that he most beautiful Hannah was all falsies.

What about Graeme Malcolm’s performance did you like?

His character were clear and his accents were wonderful.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Hamish does it again!

Any additional comments?

They need to bring back the BBC series.

A wonderful new take or twist on the tale of King.

Revisado: 03-14-13

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

This story of Arthur is probably the most realistic story on this subject I have ever read, and believe me, I have read A LOT of novels and history on this subject and these characters.
The characters came alive.

What other book might you compare Excalibur to and why?

Better than Mary Stewarts series.

Have you listened to any of Tim Pigott-Smith’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Pigott- Smith is an actor not just a narrator. His characterizations are not contrived or overdone. Just enough inflection and tone and accent to make them distinguishable. He was great.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The death of the little girl.

Any additional comments?

Glad I did not discover the series as it was being written. We listened to the entire series in a week and did not have to wait for the next book.
