Excellent

Revisado: 06-14-24

What a well researched, thoughtful book. The plight of women is well covered throughout. I found myself constantly feeling sad for them all. The narration is also excellent. Overall, highly recommend.

Start of a good series

Revisado: 12-07-23

The story was well composed. I did feel some characters were predictable. However I enjoyed the older and younger versions of the characters and life in rural Maine so much that I’d follow the series.

This novel is a fantastic fantasy story. Loved it and loved the beautiful narration. Would be a great gift for a teen , also.

A new series?

Revisado: 09-26-23

I love the Heathcliff Lenox stories and was hoping there would be another installment. I decided to give this book a try.

I thought there were a huge amount of characters to keep track of, not only the detective, but also a reporter, a police chief, pets, helpers, other police officers, and the many characters that make up the mystery. All of these characters live in the small town of Little Minton, so I suppose the authors felt it necessary to introduce the town to us. In the end it came together with a pleasant ending. Themes of elderly needs, community, love and loneliness were very clear.

Pretty incredible

Revisado: 09-22-23

I watched the Netflix movie of the same name, which got me interested in finding out whether or not there was a book describing the events of this operation. I was pleased to find this book, and even more pleased to find it narrated by John Lee. If you are interested in WW2 spies and behind the mainstream scenes, do listen to this one. It is just incredible. Well researched, amazing.

Really good radio plays

Revisado: 09-22-23

I enjoyed listening to these radio plays throughout my day. Each is a good, complete detective/police mystery with a Swedish twist. I enjoyed all of the Swedish names, too. I read that these were books written in the 60's, before police dramas were really a thing. Amazing, if true. All of the things we enjoy are there, the fantastic characters, the grusome crime, some light travel, relationships...I won't say more. Very well acted, some humor, excellent drama.

Interesting format, too much yelling

Revisado: 09-21-23

I've read Natalie Hayne's other books and enjoyed them quite a bit. All are interesting to read from a less "male gaze" perspective, empathetic, full of adventure and nuance. What I didn't enjoy about this one, however, is that many, if not all, of the characters seem to have the same emotional tone, which is sarcastic and snide, frequently angry. I don't mind heavy emotions or drama; the myths are full of them. in this interpretation, I grew tired of the various characters' angry outbursts nearly every chapter. it made listening a little strained and distracted from the story, I think.

Amazing book

Revisado: 09-15-23

I listened to some chapters a few times over because I wanted to catch every interesting detail, observation and commentary. Some chapters are profoundly sad. More books like this, please!

Fascinating

Revisado: 08-28-23

Both fascinating, strange and sometimes horrifying. I am amazed writing a book like this was even possible.

Narrator John Lee is one of the best. I always enjoy his readings.
