A lovely story, but…

Revisado: 07-03-23

Enjoyed the story, but feel let down that in neither this story nor the following one; nothing is mentioned of Blair’s perfidious actions from The Death of An Addict. It is difficult to imagine such actions were not called out. At one point in future stories, I hope Beaton decided he had to go. It is becoming too much of a repeat in each book, that Blair is so outlandish in his behaviour towards McBeth, and Strathbane does nothing about it.

A book to share with our daughters

Revisado: 04-02-23

I am so glad I bought this. What a gem. It was a well thought out, well told analysis of stories that mention Greek women(Goddesses and human)we thought we'd learned all about through the books or classes that taught us Greek Mythology. Or at least Male Greek Mythology which the Romans retold. A fresh and well documented look at what was really going on with Helen, Medea, Medusa, Pandora and Penelope and others. While scholarly, Haynes has a dry wit that she sprinkles throughout the work. Be prepared to bark out loud with laughter as you listen. I would highly recommend this become the de facto text to accompany all other texts in classes teaching about or introducing students to Greek Mythology and legends.

Back to the time…

Revisado: 03-21-23

Of manners and civility. I enjoyed the travel back to Victorian England. Not the grist and grime of true crime, but a delightful who dunnit. Well read by Ms Zimmerman.

One of the most beguiling of the series

Revisado: 12-19-22

This was a remarkable twisting and turning of the past and present in the Gamache series. It left me thinking about not only the unfair portrayal of women in the past, but also how we each see evil differently, and believe it only when blinded by it.

Loved it but…

Revisado: 09-14-22

As usual Galbraith did not disappoint. While the story line was not the usual suspects; the plot had several-lots of twists, ups and downs. I think however, the book makes a better read than a listen. There is a LOT of text/online messaging of which the reader reads out every.single.word.letter.symbol and number in the character’s digital address. When it is a back and forth exchange between two characters, often quite short…it’s borderline listening to nonsense. Would have been better to only identify the username and leave out the @xxxx.xxx

WELCOME BACK STEVEN CROSSLEY!!

Revisado: 09-15-21

When I first began listening to this wonderful series, it was Crossley’s vocal performance that brought the story to life. Then, he was replaced. The next reader was adequate, but did not rise to Crossley’s skill. Thank you Mr. Crossley for returning to grace our imaginations of Starr’s story of mysteries, crimes and miscreants at work, with your superlative performance.
