Headlines

Revisado: 08-03-22

It is very interesting. it will stay with me a long time. You need to read it against the backdrop of today's headlines. It is a bit like The Stand and Armageddon.The reader did a very good job.

Unique plot

Revisado: 07-04-22

I have been reading mysteries for over 60 years, and have read almost every plot that could be fashioned. This one is by far the most unusual story.

Small bits

Revisado: 03-10-22

It is best to do this book in small pieces. there is a lot to digest. you may not agree with any of it, but at least hear them out.

Very good

Revisado: 02-11-22

It starts out as a typical police procedure novel, but includes many dark and deadly twists.

Nice cozy.

Revisado: 02-02-22

It is a typical cozy mystery. A murder off camera, an amateur sleuth. and a budding romance. it does offer the recipes for the cited cookies. since I listened to it in Audible I have to go back and write them down, but they are quite tasty.

Cozy at its best.

Revisado: 01-15-22

It is a nice cozy.mystery, with a splash of romance to warm up the eggnog. The Christmas season as a backdrop is a interesting. each shop and person has something to do with Christmas, from reindeer games to a community toy drive. Makes you wish you could live in Mistletoe..

An old friend

Revisado: 05-09-21

I read these stories in high school and to find them here was like sitting down with an old friend and hearing them all over again. The readers are very smooth and resonant . Th stories make you think about the possible outcomes of your actions. He is like Sherlock Holmes, Nero Wolfe, and Hercule Poirot all in one. since theses were written in the late 19th century or early 20th century (the author died on the Titanic) many latter day detectives seem to have taken a page out of his books. 2+2=4 not just sometimes, but all the time. logic rules.

very interesting.

Revisado: 04-04-21

The stories are very descriptive of China over 1,000 years ago.
It lets us look at how the average person lived and the strict codes of conduct for each class.
The lives of innkeeper, silk merchants, students, tutors, shopkeepers, policemen, court personnel
and the judge are laid bare as we peek behind the veil of time.
Each vignette is a complete story in itself, strung together like an intricate necklace.

The narrator's voice is strong and steady, adding weight to the serious actions described throughout.

Robert Van Gulik translated many Judge Dee books. I wish more were recorded for Audible.

can be funny at times...

Revisado: 12-09-20

it starts out as a normal mystery but has elements of the hilarious movie "Clue" with secret passages and shuffling of the body, a strange gardner and a cast of unusual gentlemen friends. Great story for a quarantine night. :)
