Flawed Gritty crime
Revisado: 03-12-25
Loved some of the police characters, but their complete disregard for sensible procedures became irritating. Violence was a bit over the top. And in book 3 the sloppy editing was annoying. “ a punctuated lung”, repeated sentences, “hyperbowl” rather than “hyperbolee”, etc.

Repetitive and overlong
Revisado: 01-13-23
This feels like a potboiler. It is overwritten: too much repetition of story lines. And way too heavy handed with the internal monologues. A great tool , but best used in small doses! A shame really, because the story is fine. The reader is excellent. But tighter editing is required. Please.

This anthology of rare stories of crime and suspense brings together 13 tales from the Golden Age of Detective Fiction for the first time in book form, including a newly discovered Gervase Fen novella by Edmund Crispin that has never previously been published. With the Golden Age of detective fiction shining ever more brightly thanks to the recent reappearance of many forgotten crime novels, Bodies from the Library offers a rare opportunity to read lost stories from the first half of the twentieth century by some of the genre’s most accomplished writers.

A collection of rubbish stories. Don’t waste your time. I have already done that for you!
Revisado: 10-14-20
I have the distinct impression that this is a desperate attempt to generate a sale. The stories are for the most part, very poorly written. I forced myself to finish the collection in the hope that it would get better. Nope. The narrator did his best. But even that was not enough to salvage the collection.

May 1144. Newly wedded, Gareth and Gwen travel across the border into England on a diplomatic mission with Prince Hywel of Wales. Within moments of their arrival, however, the mission goes awry and a murder case drops (literally) at their feet. Hindered at every turn by a climate of civil war and constantly shifting political alliances, Gareth and Gwen race to solve the murder and expose a plot that threatens not only their lives, but the life of the future king of England himself.

Narrator quite spoils the story
Revisado: 03-21-20
I really do like the stories but why oh why can we not have a welsh speaking narrator? I am persevering but the ghastly efforts of welsh accents makes it very hard. I dread going on to the next book. I am not game to see who does the reading!

When the Duke of Purbeck throws a house party to celebrate his daughter's 21st birthday and present her with a family heirloom, nobody expects that the weekend will end in murder. The fabled Belsingham pearls have a history steeped in blood and slaughter dating back more than a century - and now it seems they've claimed another life, when the interfering and opinionated Professor Coddington is found dead in the library with the pearls clutched in his hand.

Annoying reading of a rather silly story with ghastly dialogue
Revisado: 08-14-19
I am usually prepared to forgive a poor reader if it is a good story. But this is a double whammy: a reader whose affected drawl is really irritating, and charactures of characters, who make it impossible to suspend disbelief and just enjoy a simple story. I want my money back. I will not be listening any more if these stories.

When the horse that wins a race gallops in with frothing mouth and popping eyes, what is more natural than to suspect that someone slipped a booster into his oats? With 11 steeplechasers hurtling over the finish line in this pepped up states and all the dope tests conclusively negative, the Earl of October had something of a problem if he wanted to preserve the health of his favorite sport.

Work on your Australian Accent Tony!
Revisado: 08-22-16
I do enjoy listening to Tony Britton's narrations, but it took a while to stop grimacing at his Australian accent, which at times started to swerve southeast to New Zealand. And please check on pronunciations of Australian place names: "G'long", not "Geeelong". We Australuans don't waste unnecessary vowels!

Halfdan and his master, Winston the Illuminator, are guests in a monastery when they’re awakened in the middle of the night and asked to solve a crime. A monk praying in the church has been brutally murdered, and his severed hand offers the first clue of a motive. As they investigate who could have committed such a heinous atrocity - and why - Halfdan and Winston must negotiate bitter rivalries within the monastery’s hierarchy, a sensitive class structure, and the tension between the new laws King Cnut has sworn to uphold and the codes of honor that precede them.

Translation problematic. Jars in a great story
Revisado: 03-27-16
Too many modern words being used. They jar, and disrupt the flow of what is otherwise a great yarn.
