Late Victorian London. When James Miller, the most respectable of Scottish businessmen, is pulled, dead, from the Thames, his daughter is drawn into an investigation which reveals a whole world of secrets and corruption. Alongside local detective Culley, Catriona’s search for her father’s killer leads all the way to the tragic truth behind the ghostly legend of The Darkwater Bride and the power of her deadly kiss. The Darkwater Bride combines the genres of the Victorian mystery thriller with the equally classic Victorian mode of the ghostly tale.

At an exclusive school somewhere outside of Arlington, Virginia, students aren't taught history, geography, or mathematics - at least not in the usual ways. Instead, they are taught to persuade. Here the art of coercion has been raised to a science. Students harness the hidden power of language to manipulate the mind and learn to break down individuals by psychographic markers in order to take control of their thoughts. The very best will graduate as "poets": adept wielders of language who belong to a nameless organization that is as influential as it is secretive.

Frankly, I thought this story would never end. I am glad that it is over. Thank you for asking.

On a damp October night, beautiful young Ashley Cordova is found dead in an abandoned warehouse in lower Manhattan. Though her death is ruled a suicide, veteran investigative journalist Scott McGrath suspects otherwise. As he probes the strange circumstances surrounding Ashley’s life and death, McGrath comes face-to-face with the legacy of her father: the legendary, reclusive, cult-horror-film director Stanislas Cordova - a man who hasn’t been seen in public for more than 30 years.

Unending foolishness.
Revisado: 11-08-13
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
Nothing could have saved this book. I thought the story would never end. There was simply no point to the twist and turns in a story that went no where. The reader's voice made a very disappointing story even more unbearable much of the time.
Has Night Film turned you off from other books in this genre?
No, however I doubt that I will listen to another book by this author or narrator.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
The narrator's voice was a slow drone, lacking in color, inflection and character.
What character would you cut from Night Film?
The only interesting character is already dead when the story begins.
Any additional comments?
Can I have my time back?

A remote English village wakes on the morning after harvest, looking forward to enjoying a hard-earned day of rest and feasting. But two mysterious columns of smoke mar the sky, raising alarm and suspicion. The first column of smoke comes from the edge of the village land, sent as a signal by newcomers to announce their presence as per regional custom. The second smoke column is even more troubling: it comes from a blaze set in Master Kent's stables.

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
No one in their right mind would enjoy this book.
What was most disappointing about Jim Crace’s story?
The main character was despicable, weak, and self-absorbed. The story droned on and on, and made little or no sense most of the time.
How could the performance have been better?
The narrator had to work with what he was given -- NOTHING! Only a better story could have improved this performance.
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Harvest?
All of them.
Any additional comments?
This book was so bad I felt compelled to write a review as a courtesy and warning to my fellow listeners.
