Could this book be drawn out anymore???

Revisado: 05-30-24

Too long, too self absorbed. The story was not bad but so convoluted it became boring.

Chaotic reading

Revisado: 05-22-24

I like Dorothy L Sayers but the reader of this book made Lord Peter Whimsey into an ADHD addled joke. After 1/3 of the book, trying to get past the bad reading, I realized I didn’t know what the plot was. I had been so focused on trying to ignore the sophomoric voice and intonation the read gave Lord Peter I hadn’t actually paid attention to the plot. I chose this book because I had previously enjoyed The Attenbury Emeralds which, while actually written by Jill Paton Walsh with co-operation and approval of the Sayers estate, was a fun listen with no odd mannerisms. I keep trying to listen to this in hopes I can get past the bad reading, this was my third attempt. I’m not going to try again.

Incredibly hard to listen to

Revisado: 10-07-23

Her fast delivery, running words together, the up and down cadence is awful. I’m not even sure if the content is good I couldn’t get past the annoying Delivery.

A ghostly cozy

Revisado: 01-23-23

Lower your expectations and this story will provide hours of entertainment. Personally I’m waiting for book two, there is a back story that could be fun. I was thinking this was a YA book, until the surprisingly steamy sex scene, so no on the YA.

Unashamed 71 yr old Foo!

Revisado: 05-30-22

I needed to hear this book, read by Dave Grohl. In this hard, cynical, sometimes artificial world I needed to hear his unabashedly grateful and hopeful stories. I’d been looking for the chinks in this guy, surely he was a wife beater or a harsh taskmaster. My own cynicism ran deep but thankfully it turns out DG is that rarest thing on the planet a genuinely kind, loving nice guy who is still part kid. Whether you’re a Foo Fighter or not these stories will touch your humanity and maybe restore your hope that life can be good no matter what is going on in your own life. They helped me. I’ll be listening to them again I know. Mahalo nui loa.

Refined porn

Revisado: 12-23-19

This story started out great and disintegrated into nothing more than a smutty, adolescent love story. Great for a beach vacation or a mindless listen, I was disappointed with the ending of the book. Maybe I expected too much, oh well.

I ended up thoroughly disliking Ian.

Revisado: 08-26-19

What a convoluted story this is. I came to the conclusion Ian is a sociopath. He’s an expert gas-lighter and an obvious narcissist, but there’s no way to know if he is a murderer. He is, however, 100% annoying and that alone made people go against him.

Campy humor

Revisado: 08-06-18

This writer is not for everyone. The book a mixture of fantasy, hallucinations, insanity and campy humor. The stories are great with characters that are out of this world, the background music and animal sounds in the audio book are beautiful. But I know a lo of people find that sort of thing annoying.
These are actually radio episodes that have strung together, so the synopsis can get tedious, but the cast is hilarious and they occasionally end up in uncontrolled laughter.and the synopsis is short.
This is pure fun, if you're looking for enrichment or enlightenment look elsewhere.

Easy listening fun!

Revisado: 05-19-18

I admit it. I love ALL the Cherringham stories. The reader, Neil Dudgeon, is perfect for this series of light mysteries. The stories are not very complicated, easy to follow and easy to listen to. Sarah is a believable character, actually the whole cast is except for.... the retired NY Cop. I know, he's the center of the stories. But something about his character is sometimes jarring. Aside from that bit of pickiness on my part these are fun. I like that new stories pop up from time to time. If you, like me, listen to these cozies only occasionally, try this series.

Narcissistic rant

Revisado: 05-19-18

I'm not sure what I expected from this book, maybe honesty. It started out pretty good and evolved into a self aggrandizing story of brawls and beat downs. That's a given in that environment. Like I say, not sure what I was looking for.
