Historia
Agnes is a wild creature who walks her family’s land with a falcon on her glove and is known throughout the countryside for her unusual gifts as a healer, understanding plants and potions better than she does people. Once she settles with her husband on Henley Street in Stratford-upon-Avon, she becomes a fiercely protective mother and a steadfast, centrifugal force in the life of her young husband, whose career on the London stage is taking off when his beloved young son succumbs to sudden fever.

Boring and hard to follow
Revisado: 06-21-23
The overly flowery descriptions could not make up for this boring tale. As an audiobook, the frequent switching of characters was hard to follow and they just didn't get any more interesting. I just could not get into this book, despite great reviews. Ken Follet is a much better story teller for this timeframe. I couldn't put his very long trilogy down but could not finish this book.

Historia
A mummified corpse, over half a century old, is found in the cellar of an abandoned building in a remote New Mexico ghost town. Corrie Swanson is assigned what seems to her a throwaway case: to ID the body and determine cause of death. She brings archaeologist Nora Kelly to excavate the body and lend her expertise to the investigation, and together they uncover something unexpected and shocking: the deceased apparently died in agony, in a fetal position, skin coming off in sheets, with a rictus of horror frozen on his face. Hidden on the corpse lies a 16th-century Spanish gold cross.

A disappointing read
Revisado: 06-15-21
So disappointed in the ending. Pendergast inexplicitly swoops on at the end and steals all the credit and attention from the women's accomplishments. How typical. I wish there was a male reader. The men's voices were awful and all sounded alike. Pendergast had a ridiculous British accent instead of his legendary southern drawl. Not on the same league as previous books. I've read them all.

Historia
Nora Kelly, a young curator at the Santa Fe Institute of Archaeology, is approached by historian Clive Benton with a once-in-a-lifetime proposal: to lead a team in search of the so-called "Lost Camp" of the tragic Donner Party. Benton tells Kelly he has stumbled upon an amazing find: the long-sought diary of one of the victims, which has an enigmatic description of the Lost Camp. Nora agrees to lead an expedition to locate and excavate it-to reveal its long-buried secrets. Once in the mountains, they learn that discovering the camp is only the first step in a mounting journey of fear.

Tired Old Bones
Revisado: 09-08-19
Pendergast is not British! Nora's annoying, Corrie lost her spark. Not up to usual storytelling.

Boring, slow, preachy, and really boring.
Revisado: 02-12-19
Struggled to stay interested and follow all the characters. The readers put me to sleep and the story, while covering socially relevant issues, was just told in a very bland manner. The story was depressingly boring.

Historia
Why we think it’s a great listen: An all-time Audible favorite that mixes historic fiction, adventure, and romance with one of the most fascinating literary devices: time travel. Outlander introduces an exhilarating world of heroism and breathtaking thrills as one woman is torn between past and present, passion and love. In 1945, former combat nurse Claire Randall returns from World War II and joins her husband for a second honeymoon. But their blissful reunion is shattered....

great story , needs better narration
Revisado: 10-01-18
The narrator sounds like Judy Densch, which made Claire seem old. I wish Jaimie was read by a man, it just didn't work with a woman reading his part. Thank goodness for the TV show to keep the characters imagined well.

Historia
In 1945, Claire Randall, a former combat nurse, is back from the war and reunited with her husband on a second honeymoon. Their blissful reunion is shattered when she touches a boulder in one of the ancient stone ruins and is instantly transported to a Scotland torn by war and raiding border clans—in 1743. Will Claire find her way back to her own time, or is her destiny forever linked with Clan MacKenzie and the gallant James Fraser?
