In the spring of 2020, Lara’s three daughters return to the family's orchard in Northern Michigan. While picking cherries, they beg their mother to tell them the story of Peter Duke, a famous actor with whom she shared both a stage and a romance years before at a theater company called Tom Lake. As Lara recalls the past, her daughters examine their own lives and relationship with their mother, and are forced to reconsider the world and everything they thought they knew.

Great story, excellent narration

I loved this book and my pleasure in it was surely enhanced by listening to Meryl Streep's beautiful voice reading it to me.

Historia
They were the most horrific crimes of a new century: the murders of newborn innocents for which two British women were hanged at Holloway Prison in 1903. Decades later, mystery writer Josephine Tey has decided to write a novel based on Amelia Sach and Annie Walters, the notorious “Finchley baby farmers,” unaware that her research will entangle her in the desperate hunt for a modern-day killer.

Last one in the series I'll listen to
Revisado: 04-06-21
I enjoyed the first two books (mild enjoyment), but this one, with it's totally extraneous and unexpected lesbian love affair, was too much. I did finish it, but I was tempted to return it on multiple occasions. Davina Porter remains one of my favorite narrators, which is party why I bought this one. I noticed that she doesn't narrate the later books -- perhaps it was too much for her, as well.

Historia
Audie Award, Multi-Voiced Performance, 2016. The year is 2575, and two rival mega-corporations are at war over a planet that's little more than an ice-covered speck at the edge of the universe. Too bad nobody thought to warn the people living on it. With enemy fire raining down on them, Kady and Ezra - who are barely even talking to each other - are forced to fight their way onto one of the evacuating fleet, with an enemy warship in hot pursuit.

this is the third time I've listened to this book and I've loved it each time. Moving on to the next book for another listen.

Historia
Something sinister is going on in Baronville. The rust belt town has seen four bizarre murders in the space of two weeks. Cryptic clues left at the scenes - obscure Bible verses, odd symbols - have the police stumped. Amos Decker and his FBI colleague Alex Jamison are in Baronville visiting Alex's sister and her family. It's a bleak place: a former mill and mining town with a crumbling economy and rampant opioid addiction. Decker has been there only a few hours when he stumbles on a horrific double murder scene.

I've enjoyed the series although David Baldacci's writing can be wooden at times. Having two readers makes it more enjoyable.

I loved these books -- after the third one came out, I listened to them all again just to get the full effect. Wonderful cast of readers too -- they really added personality and suspense to the story.

Historia
Calista Langley operates an exclusive "introduction" agency in Victorian London, catering to respectable ladies and gentlemen who find themselves alone in the world. But now a dangerously obsessed individual has begun sending her trinkets and gifts suitable only for those in deepest mourning - a black mirror, a funeral wreath, a ring set with black jet stone. Each is engraved with her initials.

Annoying, can't finish it
Revisado: 04-04-16
I gave this story over 2 hours (mostly because I was driving at the time) but I just can't take anymore. The characters are unpleasant, the plot line is terrible and the reader is annoying.

Terrible narration
Revisado: 05-14-14
Elizabeth Lowell is one of those authors that I automatically buy whenever a new book is released. I wish I had listenend to a sample of this one because I was ready to abandon the book after the first minute or so. I did finally get through it but I will be sure not to buy another book narrated by this person. The story itself was not one of Ms. Lowell's best but it certainly would have been improved by good narration.

Historia
Instead of saying "I do" to Mr. Irresistible, Lucy Jorik hitches a ride on the back of a beat-up motorcycle with a rough looking, bad-tempered stranger who couldn't be more foreign to her privileged existence. While the world searches for her, Lucy must search for herself, and she quickly realizes that her customary good manners are no defense against a man who's raised rudeness to an art form. Lucy needs to toughen up - and fast. Her great escape takes her to his rambling beach house on a Great Lakes island. Here, she hopes to find a new direction...and to unlock the secrets of this man who knows so much about her.

Terrible narrator, weak story
Revisado: 08-25-12
I have loved *most* of the books of Susan Elizabeth Phillips but every once in a while she writes one I just can't enjoy. Fancy Pants, the first book in this series, is the only one of her books I've had to leave unfinished and I've tried it twice. This book was another one of those and it was made worse by the absolutely terrible narration -- I didn't like the reader in the last book of this series and she was even worse in this one. If you're like me and you can't resist trying all of SEP's books, I would recommend reading and not listening to this one.

Historia
Dressed in Victorian attire, Juliana Anderson gives guests at her cozy New England bed and breakfast a taste of old-fashioned hospitality. Whether she’s cooking up delights in her kitchen or maintaining the rooms in her beautifully decorated inn, Juliana stays busy and content. Until Webster Donovan arrives - tall, rugged, and sexy beyond belief. The lean, dark-haired author has a bad case of writer’s block and he’s planned a six-week stay to cure it.

Couldn't get through this one
Revisado: 05-28-12
Every once in a while I get a book that I just can't finish. This was one of those. There was no plot -- it was just all feelings and misunderstandings. I usually enjoy Suzanne Brockmann but this must have been an early one of hers and definitely not one of her best.
