Historia
Lady Philippa, the wife of Sir Aymer, a knight of the realm, disappears while travelling from her husband’s manor to Bampton. She and her maid are traveling in an enclosed wagon, while her husband, his grooms, and a squire are mounted. When the party arrives at Bampton Castle neither the lady nor her maid are within the enclosed wagon: They have simply vanished. As the disappearance may have happened while the travelers were on Lord Gilbert’s lands, his surgeon and bailiff, Hugh de Singleton, is assigned to discover what has happened to the lady. Has she been taken or has she fled?

When will the cookbook come out? From peas porridge to mazilyn loaf, that would be fun! Few books mention what they ate.

Historia
For many people, military service isn’t simply a job. It’s a ticket out of a lonely society and into a family of enduring bonds. In over a decade of working with veterans, Johnny Joey Jones has discovered the power of battle-forged friendships. Suffering a life-changing injury while deployed in Afghanistan, he faced a daunting recovery. But coming home would have been much harder without the support of his brothers and sisters in arms. In Unbroken Bonds of Battle, Joey tells the stories of those very warriors, who for years have supported and inspired him on the battlefield and off.

Joey knocked it out of the park!
Revisado: 07-22-23
Triple J and his brothers in arms stories are touching and I’m sure a lot of it was difficult to tell. There were times I had difficulty seeing what I was doing while listening to this audible book due to the tears. Thank you so much Joey for sharing these stories. The writing superb and a great listen. From a daughter of a proud, former Marine, buried at Fort Sam.

Historia
Joseph Stalin, chief murderer and dictator of the USSR, devised the most devastating system of poison labs and bioweapons the world had yet seen. In The Dancer and the Devil, John O’Neill teams up with Sarah Wynne to expose the toxic reign of terror continuing today. As engaging as a novel and packed with historical research, this book reveals how the spirit of Stalin lives on in the hideous human experiments being conducted in the concentration camps of North Korea, in Putin’s blatant assassination plots, and in the bioweapon plans of the People’s Republic of China.

Very informative, but what about the vaccine?
Revisado: 10-09-22
This book gives lots of information and ties things together about the poisoning over the centuries and now in modern times, COVID-19. But I feel like there’s more to that story, with the vaccination, the denial of medication‘s that were cheap and could treat the illness, and the use of mRNA in a vaccine. Further, the government putting it under emergency use so that there are no repercussions for illnesses and deaths attributed to the vaccine. I would love to see these authors delve into that.

Historia
It is 997 CE, the end of the Dark Ages. England is facing attacks from the Welsh in the west and the Vikings in the east. Those in power bend justice according to their will, regardless of ordinary people and often in conflict with the king. Without a clear rule of law, chaos reigns. In these turbulent times, three characters find their lives intertwined.

Historia
1952. Twelve years have passed since Churchill lost to the appeasers and Britain surrendered to Nazi Germany. The global economy strains against the weight of the long German war against Russia still raging in the east. The British people find themselves under increasingly authoritarian rule - the press, radio, and television tightly controlled, the British Jews facing ever greater constraints.

CJ Sansom's done it again!
Revisado: 11-02-14
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
yes, especially those who have interest in England's WWII history.
What did you like best about this story?
All the twists and turns
Which character – as performed by Daniel Weyman – was your favorite?
I can't choose a favorite, they (in the resistance) were all great, and performance was superb.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
All I could say at the end was "wow"
Any additional comments?
I'm still hoping for CJ Sansom's newest Matthew Shardlake book, Lamentation, to come out on Audible very soon!!!

"raspberry sound"
Revisado: 09-26-10
Might be a fair book (smarmy comes to mind), but the American reader trying to sound Scottish and Yorkshire-ish fails miserably. The combination make it not among my favorites.

Historia
This ambitious, electrifying work traces the harrowing journey of the famed Sarajevo Haggadah, a beautifully illuminated Hebrew manuscript created in 15th-century Spain. When it falls to Hanna Heath, an Australian rare-book expert, to conserve this priceless work, the series of tiny artifacts she discovers in its ancient binding—an insect wing fragment, wine stains, salt crystals, a white hair—only begin to unlock its deep mysteries.

Historia
Daughters of Eden focuses on the lives and fortunes of four very different young women at the outbreak of the Second World War. Marjorie, left at a boarding school by her emigrating mother; plain Poppy, pushed into marriage with a mean-spirited aristocrat; Kate, despised by her father, but determined to prove herself; and man-mad Lily, who turns out to be the bravest of them all. That all of them are chosen to work undercover for the espionage unit at Eden Park is a surprise, not least to them.

Those reviewers for whom this "fizzled" should probably stick to Dr. Seuss. This was very well written, and I was held by each individual's story and captivated by the weaving of the lives. I will look for other books by Ms. Bingham, as this was my first to enjoy.
