This podcast is a lot of fun!

Revisado: 10-03-23

I have been a fan of the book series since 1997 and I have really enjoyed having an excuse to reread it in order. While I have reread favorite books, I haven't done them all since the list got so big. This is a fun way to do it and the hosts feel like friends now.

A good mystery

Revisado: 02-11-22

This is my favorite kind of JD Robb, just a good mystery with kidnapping/murder, no massive conspiracies or world threatening terrorism. A peek into the lives of a few supporting characters and a little time with Eve and Roarke.

More funny guy trip than history lesson

Revisado: 06-21-21

I really enjoyed this audio book. Graham and Sam are both excellent narrators and actors, so I could listen to them talk all day. There is no real plot or storyline to follow - just a series of anecdotes, rambling stories, some Scottish history, some personal history from the two, and a great deal of joking and sarcasm at each other's expense. If you don't mind the scattered structure and you enjoy these actors, you will love this!

Slow and drawn out

Revisado: 01-15-21

This book dragged on too long for me. While the protagonist was likeable enough, I didn't like either of the women too much and all of the rich anglers blended together.

Has not aged well

Revisado: 10-28-19

I love Jayne Ann Krentz usually, but this one is not her best. The hero bullies the heroine (and pretty much everyone else). Her family, who supposedly love her, are jerks. Meanwhile, we are told the heroine is incredibly smart and determined and strong-willed, but never see it. She is wishy-washy, impulsive and generally puts up with the casual insults and disrespect from everyone. There is a nice HEA, but I'd still skip this one.

Disappointing and dated

Revisado: 04-25-19

Not Nora's best book. It was published in the 90's, but other than the mention of laptops, could be easily 20 years earlier than that. The women are all emotional messes and the men stoic and closed off. The heroine is a chronic smoker and her sister is practically Scarlett O'Hara. Some of the romance is nice, but I got a little tired of the tears, tantrums and neurotic breakdowns every few minutes.

Good story, awful accents

Revisado: 04-17-19

I love Agatha Christie and Miss Marple is always a pleasure. The narrator for this version however is not my favorite. Her American accent for Wally was painfully bad and some of the other male voices were extremely affected as well.

Laugh Out Loud Funny and Well Written

Revisado: 09-12-18

I loved the book and loved the narrator. It is a fun adventure sci-fi story, with a very modern heroine.

A slow start but a good read

Revisado: 03-21-18

Personally, I could have done without the prologue and epilogue. The story itself was interesting and slowly drew me in. The performance was excellent. I had no trouble distinguishing the different characters and other than a brief dubious Welsh accent, the accents and intonation were excellent.

Not her best, hasn't aged well

Revisado: 01-15-18

I hadn't read this one for decades and thought it would be fun. It hasn't aged real well, however. The male protaginist, Dane, comes off more than a little Neanderthal-ish. The author describes the heroine, Marley, as strong and independent, yet she immediately lets Dane roll right over her in almost every situation. The narrator only exaggerates this issue as he gives Dane a deep gravelly voice and Marley a super high voice, almost like a stereotypical "man pretending to be a woman".
