Lizzy C

I've fallen in love with Darcy & Elizabeth again!

Revisado: 04-16-23

I did not think I would like a war time Darcy and Lizzy. The war has bad memories for my family. However, I couldn't stop listening to this tale of love in the midst of horror!

Kudos Georgina you tell is 🌹🌹 you made me fall in love with Darcy and Elizabeth all over again!!

OH, THAT VOICE !!!

Revisado: 11-07-17

Tim Curry is blessed with one of those voices that you can't recognize unless you've read the credits first . When I watched the movie Legend with Tim Curry, Tom Cruz and Mia Sara I had no idea what to expect , I certainly DIDN'T expect the devil to be Tim Curry , stunned is to light a word to use . He was Magnificent ! !! I wonder how he would play out Scrooge in a movie . ago for it Tim we would all love to see you in that roll!!! GREAT STORY TELLING BY A GREAT STORY TELLER . Highly recommended to all us old kiddies

Murder among friends

Revisado: 05-28-17

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

Yes, I would. The narrator, who happens to be one of my favorite English actresses makes the book come alive!

What was one of the most memorable moments of A Murder Is Announced?

That would be the actual shooting. Everyone was expecting something else, but instead got a real murder

Which character – as performed by Emilia Fox – was your favorite?

She did Charlotte very well. Having watched the movie and now listening to the book she got it right on. Emilia Fox can do all the voices both male and female without sounding silly.

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

I did listen to this book in one sitting. So, while I sew or knit I add a little excitement to it.

Any additional comments?

The only comment I would make is this: Emilia Fox is great so if you come across a book without Ms. Fox as the narrator you won't like it.

Another great story by Miss Adams

Revisado: 05-17-17

I really liked this story . Watching (or listening in this case) to Darcy & Elizabeth grow into a cherished love was very warm hearted . I loved the new Mr, Bennet & his silly wife . What a little vagary can do to a character is amazing

Although the narrator was very good & has a lovely speaking voice It was a little hard listening to Lizzy & Jane with a male voice trying to be feminine LOL 😆

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK

where does Anne Perry go from here?

Revisado: 05-17-17

I have read All of Miss Perry's books (listened to them too) , but this one tops them all!! I adore Thomas & Charlotte Pitt, following them from beginning to end was GREAT!
The best of all was having Thomas knighted .
Sir Thomas & Lady Pittman now my question is
where do we go from here Miss Perry!!!

Not the Lizzy we know and love

Revisado: 12-15-16

I love a good murder mystery a la Ann Perry and this was good The problem is I don't think Lizzy would let this go get so far espionage a man's life is at stake. Lizzy would face it up front. I owing Dae you he would have given her a choice to marry otherwise it's worth the read

Deceived

Revisado: 10-22-16

Would you listen to And Only to Deceive again? Why?

I've read the book, loved it, but I would not listen to the audio again. The narration was just not up to par. All the male voices sounded the same so you don't know who is speaking until the dialogue gets going. I know it's hard to be a narrator but this was definitely not a good listen. I also do not think that Lady Emily's voice would be so soft and demure, she is a strong willed woman with a strong character and it only follows that her voice would be a little stronger. Not so wimpy.

What did you like best about this story?

Cecile Du Lac, I just loved her and her outlook. Not so quick to jump to conclusions. I also loved the history - Tasha Alexander does her research very well and gives us a glimpse into a life we otherwise would never know.

Did the narration match the pace of the story?

No. When I read the book it was fast paced and exciting, the narration slowed it down a lot.

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

Deception at it's best

Any additional comments?

I just want to add that I listen to a lot of books, some are narrated very well others not so much. It is hard to develop voices for men (if you are a woman) or voices for women (if you are a man). However, it would be much better if the narrator read and re-read the book to get a better feel for the character's and how they would sound, what type of personality. Like Lady Emily, as I said above, she is a very strong willed woman and her voice would reflect that, it did not here.

Characters Come Alive

Revisado: 06-08-16

I read the book first, actually the entire series . In your minds eye you try and picture a face and a voice. Some see Colin Firth others see Matthew McFadden. I see what the writer describes . The one thing the writer can not do is give us the sound of the voices. That is the main reason I turned to audible.

It must be truly hard to create a voice for so many different characters and not confuse them. That takes a lot of talent and Nina Price has that talent. I truly commend her for the job, that most of us can't do, she does . To take the dialog between Darcy and Elizabeth and switch voice or inflection is a great talent . Thank you Nina Price for bringing the characters I love to life.

I can not wait for book two.
