How come these stories haven't been made into a TV series or movies??? All ofl the characters are great, but Marcus is the one I'd love to see the most--going from grunts to perfect diction. Keep up the good story telling, Mr
Rosenfelt.

Amazing!

Revisado: 10-27-21

I don't remember any of this history from high school or college! Glossed over, I'm sure in a couple paragraphs here and there. I read along with the audible. It helped some (I'm getting old; no fault of the writer or narrator) to hear the Indian, as well as, French, Spanish, Dutch and German names. And it seems to me, the narrator had the European accents down pat. He said the difficult Indian names with such confidence, too. I am in awe of the history of this era. I highly recommend this book. It's unflinching in its telling.

AWESOME

Revisado: 06-29-21

This is my 3rd book of Appalachian hikers, the first being Grandma Gatewood's Walk and the second Mary E. Davison's Old Lady on the Trail. All 3 were very different and inspiring in their own ways. Mr. Fabulous is awesome and he wrote a very positive account. Even though he had bad days, he wrote on such a way, you knew he'd get pass whatever the obstacle was. I really liked his narration, too.

best book I've read in a long time

Revisado: 06-28-21

This is the story of an extraordinary "ordinary" woman, who walked the complete Appalachian Trail at age 67 in 1955, and went on to do it again 2 more times and the Oregon Trail, to boot. The author did a fantastic job incorporating the story of the first time with her life's story and events going on in the world. I enjoyed the narrator for this book. I never bother with bookmarks usually, but i did here. I'm pretty sure I won't go back to use them so I ordered the paperback.
It sounds so cliché to say a book is inspirational, but this one and Old Lady on the Trail by Mary E Davison have revitalized my plans for retirement!

enjoyable historical mysteries

Revisado: 03-28-21

Although not a cozy, I am enjoying this series. I do enjoy the historical setting and Edinburgh. Very interesting characters. I don't like it whenever narrators change. I think I liked the first one, even though my American ears couldn't catch everything. Now I'm off to get #3!

I am starting to go through them a second time, I enjoyed them so much! Not every entry is a muder; interesting mysteries without a death, are mixed in, much to my delight. I didn't think I would like a two hour story, but I did. I kept trying to visualize a British TV series-- fun characters ,great location and great story-telling in a history-rich setting. Jack and Sarah make a fun team.
Hurry up with the audio to the latest entry!

Baby Ganish is the cat's meow!

Revisado: 12-16-19

Just listened to this a second time after completing the series so far. I enjoyed it even more the second time. I love all the main characters; character development is important to me and the author does a great job. (I don't love Rau, but he's a great character) I enjoyed the static-y sound of the telephone calls. Nice feature. The author is very adept at having very interesting sub-plots going on at the same time. The narrator was good at the narrative stretches, but I thought he made Inspector sound angry all the time, even when the text says, "he said softly". But that is a small criticism and maybe only to my American ear. The author delves into many of India's many sub- cultures in this series. We in the U.S. think we are diverse, but we don't hold a candle to India's diversity. I still can't decide if the adventures of this baby elephant are plausible in such an urban environment, or if taking him into a palace and shopping mall is just part of the author's imagination. Regardless, I love this series!

Fun

Fortune, Ida Belle, and Gertie go to a resort on an island in Florida. Leave it to Gertie to liven their vacation up. Fun, mindless fun. Good to have these mysteries for a little diversion.
