I am a life-long Carol Burnett fan. So I was pretty excited to listen to this book! But it was even better than expected. Funny, charming, and sad (just like life), every story was told with Ms Burnett’s characteristic wit and, kindness and humanity. I absolutely loved it. Thank you Ms Burnett!

My favorite series

Love this series! Always look forward to the next one. And the reader does a pretty good job on the Brooklyn accent

Well read!

Revisado: 10-12-24

History, especially far off history, can be challenging. The many names and places are unfamiliar, which makes the story often difficult to absorb. This reader - and writer - make it interesting and accessible. Really enjoyed!

Unexpected characters (especially Willie!) and entertaining storylines. Enjoying the series and about to try the previous series, Glass and Steele.

Loved the first 14 books

Revisado: 01-12-24

I’m a big fan of cozy mysteries- and mysteries in general, and never one to solve the mystery in advance. However, I will admit that the outcome of books 16 and 17 in this series were apparent to me halfway through the books. While I genuinely like the characters and the narrator, feeling certain you know them outcome halfway through isn’t usually what we read mysteries for; it’s rather annoying, actually. That said, I hope the series continues and that the writer returns to the unexpected outcomes of the earlier episodes.

A big fan of Constable Evans, but..

I’ve listened to all the previous audiobooks in this series and enjoyed them immensely. And I enjoyed this one, too - but a bit less so. The performance was on par, but the story, in my opinion, wasn’t up to snuff. Before the story was halfway through I was sure I knew who the culprit was, and unfortunately I was correct. This storyline was just too predictable. Hoping for more “mystery” from the next one!

One of the best books I have come across in many many years. Beautifully written and superbly performed. It will stay with my for some time, and I look forward to returning to it again after some time - which isn’t something I can say often.

Highly Recommended

I had been waiting for Audible to release this title for some time, and was thrilled when they did. It has long been a favorite, both in written and audio form - and this narration certainly does it justice. I've already listened to it twice in just a few months. A great adventure story for children and adults alike!

Absolutely Fantastic From Beginning to End

Revisado: 10-30-10

Although this story is not told entirely from the point of view of Rose, you are convincingly, vividly and completely transported into her world. Not since "Watership Down" have I found a book which so effectively accomplishes this feat. It is well read and utterly engrossing. Some of the details of the final couple of chapters are somewhat unrealistic, but I think this is notable mostly because the rest of the story is so riveting and believable. Taken as a whole, the story is very uplifting, but at times can be devastatingly sad - particularly for the soft-hearted - keep a box of tissues handy if you are of this ilk! The story of Rose has been indelibly imprinted on my memory and has become one of my all-time favorites (no small task for a very avid reader); I will surely return to it again and again for years to come.
