Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 43
When Harriet Vane attends her Oxford reunion, known as the 'Gaudy', the prim academic setting is haunted by a rash of bizarre pranks: scrawled obscenities, burnt effigies and poison-pen letters - including one that says, 'Ask your boyfriend with the title if he likes arsenic in his soup.' Some of the notes threaten murder, and one of them involves a long Latin quotation, which makes Harriet suspect that the perpetrator is probably a member of the Senior Common Room. But which of the apparently rational, respectable dons could be committing such crazed acts?

A favorite book, but this is a radio play
Revisado: 06-15-23
I knew when I ordered this. The roles are handled by good actors, but they are speaking a radio script. I thought that I could appreciate an abbreviated version of my old favorite. I recognize that the original book is very long. But I was not able to enjoy this abridged version as much as I hoped. In some cases I missed scenes or events; in other cases I missed the wealth of detail about the setting.

A woman ahead of her time, Mary Breydon knew how to get things done. Raised on a Virginia plantation, she learned how to care for livestock, respect her workers, and keep good books. But after her husband is killed, Mary must provide for her young daughter by running a stage coach station on the Cherokee Trail. With the help of an Irish maid and a mysterious stranger, Mary faces challenges that even the men eagerly anticipating her failure would have a difficult time overcoming.

Vintage L'Amour. I vouch for the accuracy of the setting, having traveled it by car
Revisado: 01-01-23
Laramie and the Overland Trail can still be seen. "Strong women" appeared under the conditions described. It should be noted that Wyoming was the first state to grant the vote to women. The accurate detail of the stage station, and the character of Temple Boone are, again, vintage L"Amour.

Dorothy Sayers' first Lord Peter Wimsey novel with Bunter, the Duchess of Denver, and other delightful characters with irony, English banter, wit, passion, and great fun. Narrated in an American voice.

Shockingly unprofessional
Revisado: 05-22-19
Reading was halting and unprepared I wouldn’t mind an American accent, but the natural phrasing of the text was ignored. A moderately loud musical background was meaningless, unless to distract attention from the disjointed reading.
