Inspiring

Revisado: 01-18-24

Was he a brilliant principled statesman or a canny politician? The twists and turns of his life and fate tell a fascinating historical story and a very modern one. I have really enjoyed this trilogy.

Something different and doesn’t disappoint

Revisado: 10-03-23

At first I was put off by Johnny and a different , but Ina few chaptersI was hooked and amused. I.have come to love this bumbling but ultimately gracious detective Peter Diamond and put aside his books for those times when I want something special to read.

A satisfying listen

Revisado: 07-03-23

Thank you so much for bringing out the work of this classic spy novelist. I have enjoyed her books for many years and missed seeing them in Audible. I think this is one of her better books, and I found the narrator to be a good choice. I am looking forward to the other books in this series.

Great Book for Beginners, would like a text

Revisado: 05-29-20

This is a great book for beginners at the A1/A2 level, or even B1. Who expects great literature at this level of the language? --the story is credible and somewhat humorous, managing to bring in lots of everyday vocabulary. The reader is clear and there is a lot of repetition of common somewhat idiomatic expressions. It would be nice to have a .pdf of the text as there is with some other Italian stories for beginners sold in Audible format.

Would love to hear another reader

Revisado: 12-21-19

I really enjoy hearing about the Cork O'Connor world and its perspective on environmental, native American and law enforcement issues. However, the story often seems contrived and as another reviewer said, there are gaps in it. I keep wondering if I would enjoy this more with a different narrator. I find David Chandler's pacing and dry, uninflected voice pretty uninspiring, so my mind wanders into thinking about plot inconsistencies!

Story and Narration, Spot On!

Revisado: 06-04-19

I laughed and laughed out loud, I shed a few tears. This is one of the few books I have recommended to my husband to read. It is also the first time that I have insisted that he listen to the Audible performance. I look at the world in a different way, re evaluate some of my interactions with people, after listening to it. I'm sorry to read from reader reviews that the sequels disappointed somewhat, but it is not surprising: this book would be a hard one to follow.

Satisfying puzzle, wraps up nicely

Revisado: 01-23-19

This was a totally enjoyable police procedural. Many new wrinkles based on current science. The narrator's style fit the personality of the main detective, and he was good at representing other characters. I enjoyed the plot and its twists as the several lines of investigation moved along. I could nit-pick about a few character inconsistencies, but I had just too much fun listening to worry about them very much. Looking forward to more from this author and narrator.

More, please, of this author and narrator

Revisado: 12-04-18

This second book in the DCI Warren Jones series is better than the first, which I also found to be quite enjoyable. The plotting is a bit tighter and the characters are more interesting. I hope Audible will eventually provide us with all of the books in this series.

Good start to a series

Revisado: 07-11-16

At first, some of the reader's mannerisms were distracting and I almost stopped listening, but as the story developed the narration even out and I think Cronin did a credible job, except for a few of the women's voices. All in all, it was a great story, but there were a couple of inconsistencies that still leave me scratching my head. I found the main character Gibson Vaughn to be a likable hero and the plot twists intriguing enough so that I want to hear more about him.

Fascinating approach to history, but....

Revisado: 01-17-16

I was fascinated by the interweaving of historical facts, centuries-old myths, and new-age interpretations with traditional detective story elements. Next trip to the United Kingdom will definitely include Glastonbury!

On the whole, however, I got tired of jumping from one plot line to another, particularly towards the end. I agree with those who have found the narrator somewhat lacking. She was perfect for the historical voices and descriptive passages, but not for the present-day male voices and general dialogue.
