Storm and drang

Revisado: 01-11-25

Obvious bad guy from the first page. Not the best by this author. It should’ve been a short story. Plot was simple.

Waste of time

Revisado: 11-04-24

Incompetent agents of law enforcement. Forgetting a phone. Missing obvious clues. Inner monologues of creepy killers. Just about hated it all. One or two characters were appealing enough but I listen to a good mid of books thrillers included. It’s obvious maybe cursory research was done. I Do not recommend this title It’s not the narrators fault.

Slow

Revisado: 10-07-24

Too many characters slow plotting. A good book to fall asleep. The introduction of new characters was awkward. I had trouble keeping them straight. Also the reason for their existence was not easily discerned. I enjoyed parts of the book and this author gets rave reviews so maybe this is just a misfire in my brain but I won’t give this a relisten.

Jim Clemente!!

Revisado: 08-10-24

Love Jim Clemente and enjoyed meeting Kathy. They are great storytellers. I like listening to people who have worked in law enforcement and getting their perspective. Brave people saving lives.

Topical frightening

Revisado: 04-21-24

I love these characters. I cannot wait for the next installment I hope there is one. This series continues to be fantastic. I was on vacation in Europe and was able to get earlier books not available in the US. The narrator is great. Highly Recommend

Ivory turners and card sharps my least favorite.

SPOILER

I thought the narrator was excellent. His ability to give life to dialog was what made this book so satisfactory. I dislike immensely when a swindler appears on the scene and despite warnings gets his mark in his crosshairs. Overall this story was very very humorous. The genius of capturing the fascinating thieves cant is one of my absolute fav part of Heyer’s books. The secondary characters are undoubtedly a strength. Recommend this book. Loved the plotting.

Sparrow

Revisado: 04-13-24

I think this version is magnificent. The story of an outcast and one of the leaders of the ton being thrown together is terrific. I especially loved the supporting cast. Young Mr Ord. Keatly and Edmond. My only complaint is that the narration of a 6 year old boy was done in a very deep voice. It was better done in the Naxos version.

Perfectly captures it all!

Revisado: 04-12-24

A novel brimming with humor. I found it is such a true representation of life at the time. The regency period is so magical it is perfectly narrated and I am ever so glad of the newer version. Georgette Heyer is as witty as they come. Highly recommend.

Masterful interpretation

Revisado: 04-11-24

The first georgette heyer book I ever read was Regency Buck when I was a teen. I relished this story once again. The narrator was wonderful. The story is so charming. Bravo. Highly recommend.

Why does the narrator sound like an old spinster it’s a book about 20 -30 something’s

Revisado: 03-30-24

I love the story but this narrator takes all the romance out of it. Jane Casey’s writing is brilliant. It deserves a better choice. The characters in these stories are very well written. The mystery is riveting. The character of Helena was drawn so vividly you almost feel sorry for her. The hapless Bruce. A figure of scorn then your mind is changed. I highly recommend Jane Casey. I do not recommend this narrator who sounds old and has a grating voice.
