When she stumbles across the advert, she's looking for something else completely. But it seems like too good an opportunity to miss: a live-in nanny position, with a staggeringly generous salary. And when Rowan arrives at Heatherbrae House, she is smitten by the luxurious 'smart' home fitted out with all modern conveniences, by the beautiful Scottish Highlands, and by this picture-perfect family. What she doesn't know is that she's stepping into a nightmare - one that will end with a child dead and her in a cell awaiting trial for murder.

Really enjoyed Ruth Wares latest book, made even more enjoyable by the incredible narration by Imogen Church. I have read or listened to every one of Ruth Wares books and always look forward to them. THe Turn of the Key kept my attention throughout, with a great cast of characters, and interesting plot.

The day her children leave home, Eva climbs into bed and stays there. She's had enough - of her kids' carelessness, her husband's thoughtlessness and of the world's general indifference. Brian can't believe his wife is doing this. Who is going to make dinner? But Eva won't budge; and soon she realises to her horror that everyone has been taking her for granted - including herself.

Masterful Narration of a great book
Revisado: 11-01-12
What made the experience of listening to The Woman Who Went to Bed for a Year the most enjoyable?
I absolutely adored this book, with its gallery of colourful characters, and laugh out loud humour.The narration was superb. Caroline Quentin is fantastic, and just has to narrate a lot more books for Audible!..
What did you like best about this story?
The fact that Eva, got away with staying in bed, and how the story evolved around the situation is great story-telling. Most married mothers will relate to all of Eva's decisions.
Which character – as performed by Caroline Quentin – was your favorite?
Ruby
Who was the most memorable character of The Woman Who Went to Bed for a Year and why?
Eva
Any additional comments?
Looking forward, as always, to the next Sue Townsend Audible book.

A self indulgent story.
Revisado: 09-30-11
I was expecting quite a shocking autobiography, and Steven Tyler's book was all that and more. I found the whole story rather self indulgent, in some places hard to believe, and the relentless story of drugs and excess became quite tedious after a while. There were more tales of over indulgence than a truly interesting story of his life. The narrator was spot on.

Narrative!
Revisado: 09-25-11
After reading the other Jo Nesbo books I thought I would try the above title in audio format. What a disappointment - the narrator is just not suited to the diverse characters in the book. More than one narrator was definitely needed. The story was great and very informative, but I would have preferred to read this book.

An Oprah's Book Club Selection regarded as one of Faulkner's greatest and most accessible novels, Light in August is a timeless and riveting story of determination, tragedy, and hope. In Faulkner's iconic Yoknapatawpha County, race, sex, and religion collide around three memorable characters searching desperately for human connection and their own identities.

Good story, but the narrator certainly could not cope with the large cast of characters, and was unable to adapt her voice to suit the story.

A real "curl up in an armchair on a cold rainy day" kind of book. Thoroughly enjoyable - and Michael Jayston has a comfortable rich voice that adds to the story. Another remarkable PD James book!

Her body was never found, yet her uncle is convinced it was murder - and that the killer is a member of his own tightly knit but dysfunctional family. He employs disgraced financial journalist Mikael Blomkvist and the tattooed, truculent computer hacker Lisbeth Salander to investigate.

I have just finished Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. What an unexpectedly delightful book, and what a relief there are two more books after this one. Lisbeth Salander is an unusual, but believable heroine. Saul Reichlin is a master narrator, and I will be searching for any other books he narrates.
