Sir John Penlyon is planning to spend Christmas at his estate with his niece and his friend Danby, the closest thing he has to family since disowning his daughter years ago. (She eloped with the parson, who was, of course, penniless.) Danby suggests that at Christmastime the estate needs the presence of small children, and offers to find some - the “hirelings” - despite Sir John’s skepticism. Three children duly arrive, and the youngest, precocious four year-old Moppet, quickly endears herself to Sir John.

The Master Does It Again
Revisado: 12-29-14
Mr. King knows what fears lie in the minds, hearts and souls of human beings and artfully weaves those elements into this tale. Death is the great unknown we all think we want to have knowledge of before we go. But do we really? After this tale, I think not so much. The ending is the stuff of nightmares. Bravo, Mr. King. I loved it.

Elliott Smith wakes up in the hospital with a head injury - and an invisible companion. At first, he's convinced "John" is just a figment of a damaged brain, but when he's fully recovered John is still around and desperate to find out who he is. Reluctantly, Elliott agrees to help and discovers Chicago PD has a John Doe on their hands with six bullets in him - who died in the ER at the same time Elliott was there.

Where does His Name Is John rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
"His Name Is John" is one of the better audio book stories I have listened to. The story is well written, interesting and paced just right (not to slow). It definitely captures your interest right from the start.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Of course, Elliott Smith. He is an interesting character. The author gives you just enough information and background info in the beginning few chapters to get you hooked and keep you wanting to come back for more. He is a regular guy despite his very rigid and formal upbringing. He is a loveable, relateable guy. He has a sister, brother-in-law, niece and nephew who love him and friends who like his company. He works hard at something he loves to do but alwys has time to enjoy his life and his family.I really liked how Elliott was not overly worried about the appearance of John in his life and regarded it as just another thing he needed to find answers to and continue on with his life while he tried to do that. He knew there had to be a reason John was there and it was just a matter of figuring it out. A detective at heart.
Have you listened to any of Jim Hickey’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
When Elliott realized that he actually was going to miss John just a little now that they had resolved the mystery of who he was and who had killed him and why. He had actually come to like John's company, even though sometimes his company was a little awkward for Elliott.
Any additional comments?
Mr. Grey's writing is a style that flows nicely. His characters are always just regular people with something just a little extra-ordinary happening in their lives. He makes us feel like we are a part of his character's lives in some way and we root for them to find their resolution in the end. This book is a good beginning to what promises to be a fun series to read. I look forward to the chance to read the next Elliott Smith mystery.
