Harry Houdini's onetime apprentice holds fantastic secrets about the greatest illusionist in the world. But someone wants to claim them...or silence her before she can reveal them on her own. Boston, 1926. Jenny "Wren" Lockhart is a bold eccentric - even for a female vaudevillian. As notorious for her inherited wealth and gentleman's dress as she is for her unsavory upbringing in the back halls of a vaudeville theater, Wren lives in a world that challenges all manner of conventions.

overwritten, over read, underwhelming
Revisado: 05-28-24
this book is both written and read like a romance novel. the story is unimaginative and some aspects of the story are so forced that it makes one wince.

Something evil has swept into the small Western Maine town of Castle Rock on the heels of the latest winter storm. Sheriff Norris Ridgewick and his team are desperately searching for two missing girls, but time is running out to bring them home alive. In Washington, DC, 37-year-old Gwendy Peterson couldn’t be more different from the self-conscious teenage girl who once spent a summer running up Castle Rock’s Suicide Stairs. That same summer, she was entrusted - or some might say cursed - with the extraordinary button box by Richard Farris, the mysterious stranger in the black suit.

the feather plays a confused role in the story, the resolution was way too easy, and the character development was shallow.

Imagine a 1980s world of sumptuous hotel rooms, restaurants, New York City penthouses, and the powerful men who move easily between these pinnacles of luxury. They are music producers, rock stars, writers, and restaurateurs. They are household names like Billy Joel, Art Garfunkel, Eric Clapton, and Sting. And yet, each man has an entire aspect to his life that he doesn’t talk about publicly—his depression, his rocky marriage, his feelings of shame and failure, his private loss of faith. And now: The phone rings. Imagine the woman who has each of these men at her beck and call.

The sound issues are maddening!!!
Revisado: 06-18-22
This was well read, and a provocative story. However, I was so distracted by the ever constant changes in volume that I nearly gave up several times. The voice volume would get very low, so much so that I had to turn up the volume, and the next moment, the voice or music would blare so loudly it was deafening. I spent nearly the whole time turning it up ... then down, ... then back to normal... then down ... then ...
Really took a lot away from the performance and the story. Sad.

We are in a small room with the vampire, face to face, as he speaks--as he pours out the hypnotic, shocking, moving, and erotically charged confessions of his first two hundred years as one of the living dead. . . He speaks quietly, plainly, even gently . . . carrying us back to the night when he departed human existence as heir--young, romantic, cultivated--to a great Louisiana plantation, and was inducted by the radiant and sinister Lestat into the other, the "endless," life....

I love this series
Revisado: 02-08-22
I think Simon Vance is a wonderful choice to narrate the Vampire Chronicles. His voice is rich and brings the culture and times to life. Anne Rice can be wordy sometimes, but the detailed descriptions pull you in. I read this series in hardcopy when they were first released, and listening to the story being told in Audible has been a treat. Louie is a wonderful character, sympathetic and engaging.

Imagine a killer who thinks, "What is the worst thing anyone has ever done?"—and then goes far beyond it. Now imagine four women—a police detective, an assistant DA, a reporter, and a medical examiner—who join forces as they sidestep their bosses to track down criminals. Known as the Women's Murder Club, they are pursuing a murderer whose twisted imagination has stunned an entire city. Their chief suspect is a socially prominent writer, but the men in charge won't touch him. On the trail of the most terrifying and unexpected killer ever, they discover a shocking surprise.

background music is maddening

Story shallow, narration awful. Ugh!
Revisado: 08-04-18
The background music is distracting and doesn't match the text very well.
The narration is bad. She reads a lot of it like a romance novel, all of the male voices sound like an obnoxious guy whose underwear is way too tight, and I found her so irritating I almost didnt get through it.
With that said, I don't know for sure how much it impacts my view of the story line. I dont think much of it, either.
The story has a lot of holes in it. with some obvious things 'overlooked' in the investigation. Some things were obnoxiously overstated, and the charactetization is shallow.
I was really disappointed with this book. Cant believe it's a bestseller. I may have liked it more if I had turned the pages myself, but that would be a stretch. My last James Patterson novel.

The enchanted place is an ancient stone prison, viewed through the eyes of a death row inmate who finds escape in his books and in re-imagining life around him, weaving a fantastical story of the people he observes and the world he inhabits. Fearful and reclusive, he senses what others cannot. Though bars confine him every minute of every day, he marries visions of golden horses running beneath the prison, heat flowing like molten metal from their backs with the devastating violence of prison life.

A really good story, a lot of literary featur
Revisado: 02-21-18
A good story, moving, disturbing, fascinating, hard, but not impossible, to put down. Wonderful literary features. The characters' histories can get intertwined for the reader, which prompted me to go back and try to find the narrator's back story and read it again. (this might have been intentional). I recommend it, unless you only like the feel good stories--thats not in here.
