Historia
An astonishing historical novel set in the shadowy, magical forests of South America, which draws on the captivating world of the international best seller The Watchmaker of Filigree Street. Deep in uncharted Peru, the holy town of Bedlam stands at the edge of a forest. The shrine statues move, and anyone who crosses the border dies. But somewhere inside are cinchona trees, whose bark yields quinine: the only known treatment for malaria. On the other side of the Pacific, it is 1859, and India is ravaged by the disease.

Magical!
Revisado: 10-21-20
The narration of this wonderful book was so skillfully performed that it felt like listening to a play.
If you are looking for an adventure that is also filled with history and at the same time magical, this is the book for you.
If you are simply looking for an excellent book that you can live in for a few days, this is also for you.
Basically, this should be your next read.
I highly recommend this book!

Unforgettable cast of characters!
Revisado: 05-23-20
This book has it all: mystery, intriguing setting, romance, and humour. The story follows several characters, all with their own secrets and quirkiness. It is unpredictable and delightful.
The narrator imbues each person with their own voice and personality.
I highly recommend this book.

Worth a read? I reckon so.
Revisado: 04-23-20
This story has it all: the action of the fight, the brutality of the landscape, the music of the language, the finality of death, and the eternal quality of love. And Chet Williamson with his versatility of voice brings each character and each scene to life.
I loved this book so much I wanted to marry it.

Here is the evidence gathered by Professor Hanz Holzer from his six-month investigation to prove that the spirit of Elvis Presley survives in a world beyond. "I am well, I am whole, I am here."

Revisado: 04-02-20
The retelling of seances contacting Elvis, as well as other celebrities was fascinating.
The narration by Chet Williamson was excellent. He was somehow able to capture the essence of each speaker with a separate and authentic voice.

Revisado: 03-12-20
Another Jack Ketchum Lucky McKee masterpiece in horror! Revealing anything about the plot would spoil it for the reader. Just know that it is not for the faint of heart.
Chet Williamson’s narration chillingly brings to life each of the characters. I will definitely be looking for other books narrated by him.

Historia
Sam Hill always saw the world through different eyes. Born with red pupils, he was called “Devil Boy” or Sam “Hell” by his classmates; “God’s will” is what his mother called his ocular albinism. Her words were of little comfort, but Sam persevered. Sam believed it was God who sent Ernie Cantwell, the only African American kid in his class, to be the friend he so desperately needed. And that it was God’s idea for Mickie Kennedy to storm into Our Lady of Mercy like a tornado, uprooting every rule Sam had been taught about boys and girls. Forty years later, Sam, a small-town eye doctor, is no longer certain anything was by design.

Revisado: 02-11-20
This book encourages the reader to have faith; faith in the potential goodness within each person. This is not to say that each character ends up full of sunshine and light. The story portrays the potential nastiness in people, too.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and highly recommend it.

As with all of the others in this series, reading this book was like taking a little holiday with the characters and their families. There are relationships of interest to all age levels from twenties to eighties.
The narrator has distinct voices for each character which carry through with each book in the series.

Historia
A tale that beats back our assumptions about the time of Jack the Ripper. Not the grim story of an unfortunate drunken prostitute killed before her time, but one of a young woman alive with all the emotional complexity of women today. Running from a man wanting her to pay for her crimes against his brother, Mary Jane Kelly must recover a valuable hidden necklace and sell it to gain the funds to leave London and start over elsewhere.

Ripper victim reimagined. Read it!
Revisado: 01-08-19
Having read the other books in Alan Clark’s Jack the Ripper Victims Series I was most interested when given the opportunity to listen to this book.
Throughout, I was struck by the gentleness and sensitivity with which the author told this woman’s tale. He has, of course, built a fictional story around the events of the time, but it is clear he has done extensive research into the culture, the setting and the language of the period.
With each sentence the reader is presented with a full picture of the city and its inhabitants. The author’s careful use of vocabulary help one not only see the story in one’s mind, but also hear, smell, taste and feel it.
Although this story reveals an, at times, brutal existence, the reader also gets a chance to experience the tenderness and generosity of spirit of the people.
The narrator is most skilled in her craft, and her accent definitely contributes to the atmosphere of the tale. That said, I personally preferred reading the other books in the series myself. There were passages that I felt were presented too dispassionately by this narrator. At the same time, I understand that she would not want to sensationalize the story and most likely chose her reading style to show respect for the characters involved, as they are based on real people.
I highly recommend this book.

Historia
>When South African conservationist Lawrence Anthony was asked to accept a herd of "rogue" wild elephants on his Thula Thula game reserve in Zululand, his common sense told him to refuse. But he was the herd's last chance of survival: they would be killed if he wouldn't take them. In order to save their lives, Anthony took them in. In the years that followed he became a part of their family. And as he battled to create a bond with the elephants, he came to realize that they had a great deal to teach him about life, loyalty, and freedom.

This audio book is beautifully written and skillfully narrated.
If you have even the most remote interest in animals, this is a must read. Entertaining while educating the reader, The Elephant Whisperer is a book I highly recommend.
As you listen, you learn the life lessons the elephants can teach. The herd that is the prime feature of the book was at one time wild and unruly, forever busting out of the electrified enclosure. Once relocated to a reserve with a patient and compassionate conservationist at the helm, the family of elephants learns to trust again. What magnificent animals!

Delightful old-fashioned mystery.
Revisado: 11-01-16
The Heiress of Linn Hagn is a good old-fashioned locked-door mystery complete with bad mannered people of privilege, soft spoken intelligent women, crusty yet honest common folk, gypsies, a mad woman and an unfortunate brain-damaged young man.
The narration was spirited but a trifle overly dramatic at times.
All in all, a good listen.
