Great story, narration

Revisado: 08-25-24

Excellent story, including plot characters and pacing. Well edited narration added to the story. I would read another book by Kate Quinn and listen to another book by this narrator

Great story, great narration

really enjoyed Briar Club and will listen again! It sucked me in and didn’t let go until the very end. Worth listening to authors notes and interview, too!

Published in Oct 1989, not 2020 or 2023!

Grrrr.
I like Nora Roberts’ books a lot. HOWEVER, I don’t like her older books much and get very frustrated when Audible/Amazon list publication dates for a reprint or audio release without acknowledging the originally publish date. This means I usually check her website for this information. However, I was in a hurry and only checked Amazon for the print publication date, which was misleading (2020!), so I didn’t realize the age of this book until the lead male character fired up a cigarette inside his employer’s inn. Then there was the moment he needed to make a clandestine phone call and he walked to the nearest pay phone. These elements were very jarring when I thought the book was recent. Also, the relationship dynamics were very 1980s era, which I don’t care for.

The narrator was ok but I couldn’t get past the age of the story. Fool me once, shame on you. Audible has now fooled me twice with their publication date habits, so I need a time out from them. This will be a DNF for me and it’ll be a while before I purchase another Nora Roberts book.

Chose this for the narrator, LOVED the story

Really like January Lavoy’s narration and have now fallen into serious like with Amy Tintera’s storytelling!

Thoroughly enjoyed this book and the narrator’s reading of it. It shifted the focus of the series to a new location and perspective. Will definitely read/listen to the next one.

Excellent story, excellent narrator

I’m new to the author but familiar with January LaVoy, so was willing to buy the book. Really glad I did, great story and storytelling. Would def listen to more books by this author and anything narrated by Ms LaVoy.

It’s a No For Me, DNF

Revisado: 06-17-23

There’s no wonder (as in magic & mystery) in this title and there’s no wonder it feels like the 1990s. I trusted Audible instead of going online to research this title’s details. I know better than that, so shame on me. The Audible page contains some of the title details, including the publication date: 12/25/18. However, (I really feel this should be all caps…HOWEVER), the hardcover was published in 1998, 20 years earlier than what Audible shows. Technically, yes, the audio book was published in 2018 but that does not make it feel like it was written in 2018. From the perspective of 2023, I rate it a big Did Not Finish.

I love fiction, including mystery and romance but I could not finish this book. The antihero and the heroine were both cliched and the serial killer trope was reminiscent of the overwrought serial killers of the last century… think Silence of the Lambs, where serial killers are ultra vindictive and smarter than everyone else. The heroine is a battered wife turning to the hero for help and he’s rubbing his shirtless body all over her while he teaches her to shoot a gun? That’s a no for me, thankyouverymuch.

The plot and the characters were enough to put me off all other Lisa Gardner books, but I’d listen to the narrator again.

Fab story, well read

Another favorite thanks to Ms Robert’s story telling and Ms LaVoy’s reading.
Story is well written and edited and the narration added to the listening experience.

DNF for me

Revisado: 11-04-19

Might be my style and story preference but this just didn’t engage me, DNF. The characters were awkwardly voiced imo, so I kept think about the narration quality instead of the story.
