As England prepares to fight the Nazis, three very different women answer the call to mysterious country estate Bletchley Park, where the best minds in Britain train to break German military codes. Vivacious debutante Osla is the girl who has everything - beauty, wealth, and the dashing Prince Philip of Greece sending her roses - but she burns to prove herself as more than a society girl, and puts her fluent German to use as a translator of decoded enemy secrets.

Good story.
Revisado: 04-01-24
The characters were charming, irritating, intuitive, and dense. A well constructed story that held my interest to the end.

Gripping
Revisado: 05-04-19
What a surprising and gripping story. Very well acted by professionals who made it feed like you were listening in on private conversations. I want more by this team of author/actors.

REALLY BAD IDEA
- De Josh en 09-27-18
What's with the music?
Revisado: 12-16-18
The music in this book makes absolutely no sense. It doesn't match the mood of the text and is so distracting that I feel angry when it starts. Fire the person who came up with this idiotic idea.
Otherwise, the book would be good.

This is the most distinguished novel that has come out of South Africa in the 20th century, and it is one of the most important novels of the modern era. Cry, the Beloved Country is in some ways a sad book; it is an indictment of a social system that drives native races into resentment and crime; it is a story of Fate, as inevitable, as relentless, as anything of Thomas Hardy's. Beautifully wrought with high poetic compassion, Cry, the Beloved Country is more than just a story, it is a profound experience of the human spirit.

A masterpiece
Revisado: 11-28-18
I have read (listened to) this moving story three times and am left each time with sadness and hope. The main character is beautifully drawn and easy to relate to as a parent. These are good people trapped in a bad culture.

An old fashioned mystery that will have the listener guessing from beginning to end! A classic whodunit filled with plot twists. When our detective hero Carlton Davies is called to the home of Ruth Darwin late at night, he once again can't help wondering what it was that forced her to marry Phillip Darwin, a powerful banker. Ruth and he and been engaged until suddenly she broke off the engagement. Hinting at some sort of blackmail, Carlton once more takes up the search to find out what it was only to find Ruth with a (literally) smoking gun in her hand.

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
I hate to criticize a reader as I imagine it must be hard to do this job but this was really the worst reader I've ever listened to.
Would you be willing to try another one of Jack Brown’s performances?
No.

It's 1922 in the Manhattan of gin, jazz and prosperity. Women wear makeup and hitched hemlines - and enjoy a new freedom to vote and work. Not so for Evelyn Lockhart, who is forbidden from pursuing her passion to become one of the first female doctors. Chasing her dream will mean turning her back on her family: her competitive sister, Viola; her conservative parents; and the childhood best friend she is expected to marry, Charlie.

Terrible narrator
Revisado: 12-19-16
What would have made A Kiss from Mr. Fitzgerald better?
I so wanted to enjoy this book but the plot is trite and the narrator is horrible. All of the characters have the same annoying nasal voice except the main character. Nothing could save this.

Revisado: 07-03-16
Would you try another book from Loreth Anne White and/or Tanya Eby?

What was most disappointing about Loreth Anne White’s story?
This author uses every cliche in the book. It is terrible writing.

The book does not deserve to be narrated.

When John Heppel, a visiting writer to Lochdubh, first proposes forming a writers' circle, the idea is met with much enthusiasm from local residents. However, once the classes get underway, attendance quickly falters due to one undeniable fact: John Heppel is a long-winded, consummate bore. But is dullness a motive for murder? Hamish Macbeth wouldn't ordinarily think so. So when Heppel is found dead, Hamish begins looking for deeper meaning in the writer's stories.

Another fun mystery
Revisado: 11-08-15
What does Graeme Malcolm bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Graeme Malcolm is one of my favorite readers.
Any additional comments?
Hamish Macbeth mysteries are consistently entertaining and the characters are familiar after listening to so many. Graeme Malcolm is the best reader for this series, his voices and accents bringing Lochdubh to life.

Too violent.
Revisado: 08-21-14
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
Listening to this makes me wonder about McDermid. This is the most graphic sexual violence I've ever heard and I couldn't finish the book.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Disgust.

In the isolated villages in the north of Scotland, the villagers rely on the services of the chimney sweep, Pete Ray, and his old-fashioned brushes. Pete is always able to find work in the Scottish highlands, until the day that Police Constable Hamish Macbeth notices blood dripping onto the floor of a villager's fireplace, and a dead body stuffed inside the chimney. The entire town of Lochdubh is certain Pete is the culprit, but Hamish doesn't believe that the affable chimney sweep is capable of committing murder.

Editing failure
Revisado: 07-23-14
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
While I have loved every book narrated by Graeme Malcolm, this one could have used some editing. Long pauses and swallowing sounds were very distracting. Otherwise, this is another fun adventure of Hamish Macbeth.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Hamish
What do you think the narrator could have done better?
Edited out the swallowing sounds.
