Gripping tale

Revisado: 08-06-18

Liked the police characters very much. Decent, for a change. What a plot! I had a sample from the author's Fen series and was not impressed. This one is ever so much better. Some of the English expressions made no sense, but I found the title on Kindle Unlimited and reading and listening at the same time helped,. Narrator did a great job! I hope to buy the next three books in this new series due on Audible in October. The Kindle versions are available now. I guessed some of what was to come in the plot, but that only made me feel smart, not disappointed. Good listen!

Touches the heart

Revisado: 03-13-17

Wonderful book! The best I have listened to -- and I have listened for years! Each character is unique. Though the story is tragic, it touches the heart. Don't miss this one!

Best Yet

Revisado: 12-12-15

Love Simon Prebble's narration. And this is the best yet of all the Charles Todd books I have read or listened to -- fifteen so far. A bit hard to remember all the characters in this one on occasion, but necessary to the plot, I presume.

Great Narrator!

Nigel Carrington really made Coffin Underground! Now I want all 13 Coffins. I think this book is better than Coffin In Fashion, but that was my first Coffin & I opted for a second. I think Nigel Carrington is one of the best if not THE best narrator of all the many I have heard. And I thought no one could top John Lea or Simon Prebble....

Disappointed

Revisado: 10-18-13

Having read several mother/son team books authored as Charles Todd and enjoyed them, I was somewhat lost in this one. It seemed a stretch in both plot and characters.Perhaps I listened in too many short snatches of time. I wanted to like it!

Surprisingly Good

Revisado: 10-18-13

I never thought I would be interested in a boat race. But I thought the fact that it was in that horrendous Nazi Olympics might be riveting. It was, but not in the way I thought. As the title suggests, it was the boys in the boat that were mesmerizing.

I was a bit disappointed that there was not much on the German side of the story.
Still, I came away with a huge amount of respect for the boys in "our" boat.

Sometimes raw, but good

Revisado: 03-18-13

I think I got this one because I'd read Robotham before. His character's struggle with Parkinson's adds a twist to his books in the series. In this case, the trouble knocked on his door....

Colin Firth is wonderful as a narrator.

Revisado: 03-09-13

Colin Firth is right up there with Ralph Cosham. Cosham has narrated about 100 books, and so far I've only found one by Colin Firth. It was a bittersweet story with more introspection than plot, but Firth nailed it as far as I'm concerned. I wish he would do more.

Too much

Revisado: 03-05-13

This seemed to spend a lot of time in the weeds of Who discovered what, and when, and how could someone profit from it? I had read a biography of Tesla, but I have yet to find his story presented in a truly interesting way. Tesla deserves great credit for his genius, but I came away still somewhat confused of what use it has been to us in the long run.

If you love America, listen to this

Revisado: 02-28-13

Regardless of whether you are a Democrat, Republican or Independent, the references in this book about our country's early years are a must read. Later in the book, some of the implications for today seemed a bit repetitive, but the message is worthwhile.
