Historia5 out of 5 stars 25
It’s the dead of summer, 1989, in the heart of the Ozarks. An 18-year-old woman goes missing from Bella Vista, Arkansas. As the search moves forward, several suspects emerge. Then… a body is found not far from the Missouri border, and a homicide investigation begins. Soon, a second body is discovered nearby. What was a mystery transforms into the hunt for a possible serial killer stalking young women throughout the Ozarks. M. William Phelps digs in nearly 35 years later and begins to understand that things aren’t always what they seem.

Way too many ads!

Way too many ads!
Revisado: 04-04-24
2.5 min of ads every ten min on average is ridiculous and excessive (especially when the same ad is played 3 or 4 times in the same episode!). Had to stop listening because of this, even though the story was good.

As three very different women come together at the house in the olive grove, unlikely friendships blossom and a season of self-discovery begins. Will the sumptuous flavours, sapphire waters and golden sands of Greece give each of them the answers they so desperately seek?

Deficious Food, Not so Tasty Story
Revisado: 06-21-23
I picked this audio book because I enjoyed the narrator on another title, but found her American accent overly dramatic and difficult to listen to. The story was sweet, but predictable, and the author relied too heavily on tedious character self reflections and repeatedly dangling each character's current or past secret in front of the reader as a device to keep them listening/reading. This plot device was so overused though, that either I guessed the secret looonngg before it was revealed, or I simply didn't care anymore when it was. So much so that I found myself completely unmoved by the pinnacle event of the book. On the plus side, her delicious descriptions of life in a little Greek village and of moreish sounding local cuisine awakened my wanderlust for a trip to Greece!

Fiver could sense danger. Something terrible was going to happen to the warren; he felt sure of it. They had to leave immediately. So begins a long and perilous journey of survival for a small band of rabbits. As the rabbits skirt danger at every turn, we become acquainted with the band, its humorous characters, and its compelling culture, complete with its own folk history and mythos. Fiver’s vision finally leads them to Watership Down, an upland meadow. But here they face their most difficult challenges of all.

A classic, beautifully read. Well worth a download, if only to revisit a well loved childhood favourite.

A simple, sweet story which shows that even spinsters get their day! Loved listening to the audible version after reading it many years ago.

Melanie is a very special girl. Dr Caldwell calls her 'our little genius'. Every morning, Melanie waits in her cell to be collected for class. When they come for her, Sergeant keeps his gun pointing at her while two of his people strap her into the wheelchair. She thinks they don't like her. She jokes that she won't bite, but they don't laugh. Melanie loves school. She loves learning about spelling and sums and the world outside the classroom and the children's cells.

Excellent, gripping story from start to end

Narrator was superb, as was the story. Made this genre accessible even for those who may not usually choose to read this kind of book. Riveting. I raced through it, but now wish there was more!

The Mongol army led by Genghis Khan subjugated more lands and people in 25 years than the Romans did in 400. In nearly every country the Mongols conquered, they brought an unprecedented rise in cultural communication, expanded trade, and a blossoming of civilization.

I loved Mongolia when I visited it, and I love it even more now that I know the intricacies of the Mongol empire... What a fascinating man, people and awe inspiring legacy.
