Great book & narration

Revisado: 01-22-20

Please note that this book is in German! I enjoyed this performance tremendously. The narrator is definitely one of my favorites, because his timing is well done (speed of narration and little pauses to give you time to think about the joke). He gives you time to appreciate the story line.

I also enjoyed the story, because it offered tongue in cheek humor with real life authors of the time. Of course, you should know something about Oscar Wilde and Arthur Conan Doyle in order to catch that humor and appreciate it. Victorian England is also part of the story, so knowing something about that history will lend itself to be entertained. I laughed a lot and was thoroughly engaged in the story on an ice cold wintry day--it was better than any Netflix binge I could have gotten into.

Great book and great narrator. I truly enjoyed this one to the core. I did think of Clint Eastwood as the protagonist of course, but that was perfectly OK, since I think he fits the protagonist well.

Don't care for the narration in German

Revisado: 01-19-20

My problem with the Lincoln Rhyme novels with German narration is simple--the narrator doesn't pronounce Amelia Sach's name correctly. He pronounces it like "sex," which drove me crazy throughout the whole book :(.

Very well done performance

Revisado: 06-05-16

Would you consider the audio edition of Drei Kriminalromane to be better than the print version?

I absolutely think that it's very helpful to listen to the book. I tried to read "Der Richter und sein Henker," and stopped, because I just couldn't get into the story on my own. Hans Korte made the story's come to life and kept me listening all day long. I am native German and could understand the performance easily--the print versions were tougher to understand. I finished the books in one day at 2X speed and it feels like an accomplishment to have read something I wanted to read for a long time in such a short time.

What did you like best about this story?

There is a timelessness these stories. They are crime novels, but they have a timeless moral so to speak. They speak of evil, revenge, and the desire to bring justice into a world where that's not always possible.

Which scene was your favorite?

I'd have to say when in the third book the narrator goes into what could have become of the story if it were a film with a hero, which this book became with Heinz Ruehmann and Gert Froebe.
