A great new police procedural

The narrator makes each character come alive- love Sargent Whycam and his side kick Surrender not. Looking forward to more from this author.

My favorite Rhys Bowen book

Revisado: 05-01-17

I've listened to many of Ms Bowens books. This one included one of the most fascinating programs of WWII- Betchley - where they solved the enigma code. Great historical fiction.

This is as good as THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATOO SERIES. Pace, narration, plot and character development spot on.

Unlikely spies during the Revolutionary War

Revisado: 08-27-15

A little known story of the women behind the combatants in America's birth. Loved the setting for this novel, transported me back to the beginnings of our country. Lizzie the narrator told the story in the language of the time. Worth a listen!

Loved the twists and turns

Revisado: 07-13-15

True to the story of the Irish troubles during the 80s from the Ulster police men's point of view. The narration was superb, British, Scottish, Irish and dialects of each were flawless. Sean Duffey is a great character.

Great narrator-good plot

This book kept me interested and the characters were well thought out. I was left wondering how Jean and Rutledge will end up after the war.

Excellent narration brought the story to life

Revisado: 01-06-15

Is it possible to be rooting for young girls who turn to prostitution? These young women are developed into real people with lives and struggles like all of us. I wanted them to be safe from the killer who was stalking them on the streets. The story is a satisfying listen from start to finish. The narrator is excellent especially as the killer is revealed through a few fateful words. I will be looking for another Susan Hill book with the same narrator.

Where does Nancy Wake rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

My husband and I brought this book along on our 1000 mile trip with my 87 year old parents. We couldn't wait to get on the road after our rest stops to find out what happens to Nancy. The story was truly inspirational, the reader was easy to understand and her accents and characters were spot on. There aren't many books that I can listen to that interest my husband (a history buff) and my parents (the WWII generation). This was great. This book is in my top 10 list.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Nancy Wake?

The solo bike ride through Nazi-held country was a physical and mental ordeal. I can't think of many people who could have accomplished this.

What about Stephanie Daniel’s performance did you like?

Her voice is clear and her style fit the atmosphere of the book, from funny moments to the ordeals of warfare - equally wonderful.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Nancy Wake's life was amazing full of life and death and every emotion in between.

Any additional comments?

Don't miss this amazing story. I did some research while we were listening to this book which added to our admiration of this woman and all those who struggled against the Nazis.

This reader is amazing!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

This book is a wonderful mystery as well as a look into the hard times of Irish society. Broken Harbor is a housing development gone bust...but also the people are broken in many ways. The reader shifts from character to character in a very believable voice. The pace never slows down and I return to the book with anticipation every time.

What about Stephen Hogan’s performance did you like?

I love the reader's voice, inflections, and interpretation of the characters. Absolutely amazing.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

An atmospheric who-done it with two interesting detectives - as entertaining as Inspector Lewis and and Sargent Hathaway, Holmes and Watson.

Any additional comments?

I will look for more books by this narrator. I love Tana French as well.

Maybe a great book, hard to follow the narrative

What did you love best about Wolf Hall?

I always love to read about the intrigue of the British monarchy but this is too hard to follow.

Would you recommend Wolf Hall to your friends? Why or why not?

My husband is reading this book on his IPad and I am listening to it on my IPad. We both find it hard to follow because the different characters are not easily identified when they are speaking - more the style of writing than the fault of the reader.

Have you listened to any of Simon Slater’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No
