Barely OK story, some voices are too irritating.

I am trying to enjoy this story, but it is difficult to listen to because some of the voices are so irritating and annoying ! The story takes a while to become interesting, eventually it does pick up - but overall too much soap opera for me, barely OK story.

This was interesting, and different from typical in this genre. The opening lengthy section is especially good. It does get repetitive in the middle segments of the novel before delivering the final section. Also, I wish it had shorter chapter segments, to allow for better rest pauses. It is not a perfect novel but is quite good. The narrators do an excellent job here.

Breezy, personal take on a complex issue

This is a breezy, personal take on the history and more recent years situation in the middle east, and the perennial conflict there. In parts it is moving, heartfelt and engaging, but it does get a bit too subjective at times. I enjoyed the first half more than the latter sections. In parts I did tire listening to the author - despite the beautiful voice - there is some repetition of grating phrases, and felt like it could use a bit of editing and clean up. Still, a good effort here.

This is not your typical thriller. It is fascinating, different and mostly quite effective storytelling. I enjoyed some of the poetic musings coming from the assassins and plotters. Some chapters are fantastic, some a bit less so. Very good narration helps carry it to a close.

This was better than expected, and for most of the running time was very good - the part towards the end was not a realistic development. Still a worthwhile listen, with nice narration.

This was really atmospheric and well written. I am surprised at some of the negative reviews here. Loved the narration too, especially Richard Armitage. The majority of the book is fabulous, but it does get a bit weaker story-wise towards the end, still I enjoyed it a lot.

This is great fun, but it is actually a duplicate section of a different longer Willeford book called The Shark Infested Custard. So do not buy both. Audible needs to make a note of this on the description.

Good, but Hitchcock's version is better

So I listened to this as a curiosity to see how it differed or was similar to the great Hitchcock movie of the same name. I understand the rights were secured for the story for cheap as this is Highsmith's first novel. It is a good book, with some clever story development and interesting characters, the second part of the book drags somewhat, whereas in the movie it takes off with great crescendo.

this was a joy to listen to. the voice, the delivery, the content. nice to have some of the audience sounds in there too.
