Can’t wait for the next one

Revisado: 05-21-23

It’s a rare audiobook that I will buy in hardcover for my bookshelves. This definitely made the cut. Love it! It’s my misfortune, though, that it’s a debut novel because that means going to have to wait a long time to read another by this wonderful author. I just hope she continues to write in the same genre.
Though I’ll be getting an actual paper and ink copy, I have to say that I really enjoyed hearing it read and I want to express my appreciation to the reader. Excellent job! Thank you!

Charming

Revisado: 02-22-23

I love this series and I hope Alexander McCall Smith will write more. It’s a charming yet insightful tale about human nature and, as always, very entertaining.

Can’t wait for number four!

Revisado: 01-21-23

I absolutely love this series and number three is, if possible, even better than the first two. I feel like I know these characters - they’re so vivid and so believable yet they keep coming up with surprises.
Fiona Shaw’s narration is spot on. One bonus of the audio version is the interesting and entertaining interview with Richard Osman.

The best series by McCall Smith

Revisado: 12-28-22

This is so much fun! The author of Portuguese Irregular Verbs is charming especially because he’s so very wonderfully human. McCall Smith’s dry humour always makes me laugh but this one especially. The narration, too, is flawless!

My favourite Anthony Horowitz mystery

Revisado: 12-12-22

This is fast moving and clever from beginning to end. Who else but Horowitz would have thought to weave fiction with autobiography so creatively? This is not the first of this series but I think it’s the best. A bonus is that each new book sees greater character development of the detective, Hawthorn. I love it, too, that his own part in the story is so self-effacing. Only a truly accomplished writer would show himself in such an unflattering light.
Excellent narration as well.

Best narrator. Absorbing story.

Revisado: 03-30-22

I often choose audio books just because Imogen Church is the reader. She’s so talented and convincing and never disappoints. I’m constantly amazed at how she can do men and children as well as women and as for accents never fails to nail it. I didn’t enjoy the book much though. Its more intense than I like, mostly pretty grim. I did like the ending though.

Cosy mysteries well written

Revisado: 02-10-22

I’ve listened to every one of these mysteries more than once. I love cosy mysteries but not many of them are as well written as these. The characters have depth, the setting couldn’t be more charming and Neil Dudgeon’s reading is perfect!

Engaging mystery worthy of Agatha Christie

Revisado: 01-10-22

Very well told. Well developed plot. Wonderful central character and an intriguing setting. It’s a shame the recording was flawed by the reader’s embarrassing attempts at accents. Still, I’m looking forward to the second in the series.

Charming story

Revisado: 03-11-19

I loved this book. The characters were very real and interesting yet they could me you or me or our next door neighbours. It’s hopeful and inspiring and a mystery as well.

Grim

Revisado: 03-09-19

What a depressing book! Brutal and just plain depressing. I liked Essex Serpent but this one is a slow nightmare.
