Clever mystery

Revisado: 03-05-25

Enjoyed this clever mystery with an enjoyable trio of ladies from different backgrounds. A few places that are a little unbelievable but the story moves along well. Recommended.

Fantastic. Didn’t want it to end

Revisado: 12-20-24

This was an excellent dramatization of this classic Agatha Christie mystery. I hope Peter Dinklage does more of these as Poirot. The whole thing was beautifully paced and I didn’t want it to end.

My most favorite Heyer

Revisado: 07-13-24

A romantic mystery of absurd proportions this is probably the best Heyer tale. I laughed out loud on my walks. The audio performance was almost perfect. Highly recommended.

Good history

Revisado: 06-06-24

This podcast is excellent well balanced history. The host’s nasal voice can be annoying but the information is worth the small irritation. I listened to this a lot before going to Salem, Mass for a vacation and it helped sift through the crazy stuff some tour guides said.

Keep these coming

Revisado: 03-31-24

Love these Christmas mysteries. With a mysterious past Emily solves mysteries like a champ and has a little romance on the side. The production is high quality and well written. Recommended.

Wodehouse never disappoints.

Revisado: 01-18-24

Always funny, this one has some of Wodehouse’s best writing. Laugh out loud funny. Wodehouse knows how to tangle and untangle a situation with humor.

Starts slow but picks up

Revisado: 02-05-23

Heyer is the the queen of this genre and in the book she captures the spirit of the age with a lot
of quick dialogue that can often be difficult to follow if this is your first visit to the era. Stay with it and you will be rewarded. This is almost a reverse Cinder-fella story - unwanted backward heir that is brought into the bosom of the dysfunctional family to be whipped into shape. That’s when the fun begins. Maybe not Heyer’s best but a solid listen with a good narrator.

Great stories and narration

Revisado: 02-04-23

These classic radio stories by Damon Runyan are excellent. The last two are by a different theater that doesn’t have the same clarity the others have but still entertaining.

A beautiful tribute to the English Language

Revisado: 06-04-17

This book should not only be read for the excellent and compelling story but also listened to for the beautiful sounds of the words painting pictures across time and space. This book has gone to the top of my favorites list snuggling in between "To Kill a Mockingbird" and "True Grit" as favorite stories of girls who are loved and cared for by good, father figure men, but also who must rise above the difficult circumstances of their lives. Highly Recommended.

A long slow build up

Revisado: 11-28-16

This isn't maybe the wittiest of Heyer's books but it has an intriguing story line with a bit of mystery, some side romances, some quirky characters and a long build into romance for the main characters who are likeable and have depth. It is worth the effort to get to the end.
