An excellent Louise Penny with a really superb narrator

Revisado: 05-28-20

Louise Penny and Robert Bathurst are the dream team. The story is convoluted, but stick with it, all will be revealed, and we see new sides of some of the loved characters. A tour de force.

Five stars are not enough

Revisado: 11-21-19

I’ve listened to many many of the Great Courses. This one excels on every level. It’s a real college course, not dumbed down, as I’ve noticed many recent courses have been. The professor is knowledgeable and engaging, never condescending or patronizing. A few aspects may be a bit dated but who cares? Those portions tend to be aspirational about human nature, and with the current anti-science administration they are not panning out. But they can. God willing they will. Kudos to Prof. Wysession.

Longmire and Guidall. The perfect pair

Revisado: 09-17-19

Sometimes a terrific book finds the perfect narrator, and we get to enjoy it. Walt Longmire is a perfectly developed character — wise, human, and funny. The other characters are the same. I just love this series, particularly in audio.

Michael Connelly can be counted on for a good story

Revisado: 06-20-19

I always like Harry Bosch. This one isn’t his best, but not his worst and a good listen. And I hope Lucy Soto will be a continuing character. Recommended.

Both the 4star and the 1 star reviews are justified

Revisado: 06-13-19

The best thing about this audiobook is Joanne Froggatt’s narration. The early part of the story is well written, but even the writing deteriorates as the end sinks into melodrama. This is not an author I’ll revisit.

A very mixed bag

Revisado: 06-03-19

A Case of Redemption is well written, interesting and engrossing for about the first two thirds. The story still holds your interest, but the courtroom passages are totally bogus and the ending is unconvincing. Kevin Collins’ narration is often over-dramatic but well done on the whole.

So-so book saved by excellent narration

Revisado: 03-04-19

I would listen to other books narrated by Bolton Marsh, but may not go on with this series. Maybe because I hadn’t heard parts 1 and 2. The writing was overdone for my taste.

Superb narration

Revisado: 08-16-18

The Brother Cadfael series is always wonderful, but I want to particularly praise Patrick Tull’s narration. I particularly like the fact that he didn’t strain for different voices for various characters— including women.

Reminds me of Scott Turow.

Revisado: 07-19-18

Ending is a bit gee-whiz, but a good solid story with characters you care about and denouement you don’t see coming.

Fascinating story superbly read

Revisado: 06-01-18

One can’t be sure the history is wholly accurate but while you are listening you’re entirely in the 16th century as it happened. Simon Vance is perfect for the narration.
