Society's eligible women are in mourning. Lord Peter Wimsey has married at last, having finally succeeded in his ardent pursuit of the lovely mystery novelist Harriet Vane. The two depart for a tranquil honeymoon in a country farmhouse but find, instead of a well-prepared love nest, the place left in a shambles by the previous owner. His sudden appearance, dead from a broken skull in the cellar, only prompts more questions. The honeymoon is over, as Lord Peter and Harriet Vane start their investigations.

Love & healing vs hate and death
Revisado: 06-27-24
Finally Harriett marries Peter, escape paparazzi to a country house honeymoon and find a corpse in the cellar. Sayers gives us a delicious payoff for years of waiting to see this compelling couple come together! They discover deep, true love and healing, and also uncover greedy hatred and death. Funny, wise, eccentric as Sayers is in all her novels, this, in my mind, is second only to Gaudy Night in brilliance and delight!

The rare letters Tell Sackett received always had trouble inside. And the terse note from his cousin Logan was no exception. Logan faced starvation or a hanging if Tell couldn't drive a herd of cattle from Kansas to British Columbia before winter. To get to Logan, he must brave prairie fires, buffalo stampedes, and Sioux war parties. But worse trouble waits, for a mysterious enemy shadows Sackett's every move across the Dakotas and the Canadian Rockies.

David Straithern is a wonderful narrator! He seems borne to tell these “westerns”. Is his middle name Sackett?

Kidnapping is Andrew Douglas's business: they take them, he finds them. But it isn't so simple when Alessia Cenci, golden-girl jockey, disappears, followed by the young child of a derby winner and the senior steward of the Jockey Club. From Italy to England to Washington, D.C., Andrew's caseload is suddenly, violently overflowing. And he must fight triply hard to keep his own name off the growing list of victims.

Reliably entertaining, this is one of the author’s best! The narrator, using many voices and characterizations was superlative!

“I am Johannes Verne, and I am not afraid.” This was the boy’s mantra as he plodded through the desert alone, left to die by his vengeful grandfather. Johannes Verne was soon to be rescued by outlaws, but no one could save him from the lasting memory of his grandfather’s eyes, full of impenetrable hatred. Raised in part by Indians, then befriended by a mysterious woman, Johannes grew up to become a rugged adventurer and an educated man. But even now, strengthened by the love of a golden-haired girl and well on his way to making a fortune in bustling early-day Los Angeles.

Meandering, repetitive, disappointing
Revisado: 02-13-15
I've enjoyed most of Lamour's stories, but not this - it really needed a good editor! Sorry I wasted my time.

Graham Greene’s evocative analysis of the love of self, the love of another, and the love of God is an English classic that has been translated for the stage, the screen, and even the opera house. Academy Award-winning actor Colin Firth (The King’s Speech, A Single Man) turns in an authentic and stirring performance for this distinguished audio release.

- And Then There Were None
- De: Agatha Christie
- Narrado por: Hugh Fraser
Christie's tour de force & Hugh Fraser is superb!
Revisado: 01-30-12
And Then There Were None is classic Agatha Christie, an author whose unique skills in deftly defining each character enables her readers to identify with at least one of the protagonists and so to virtually live within the story. Hugh Fraser is outstanding, bringing to life a large cast of both men and women from disparate social milieu. The listener is confused by miscues, occasionally confident of a solution, then shocked by the unexpected twists that build uncertainty on uncertainty. The ultimate resolution is implausible, but it's been great fun to be a part of it all!
I would especially recommend this high style/minimal gore audiobook for friends unfamiliar with the English mystery as a genre.

Elegantly narrated and beautifully written
Revisado: 07-06-10
Elegantly narrated and beautifully written . . . another wonderful book by Wendell Berry. Susan Denaker's understated Hannah is utterly believable and deeply moving. Even though I'm not Southern, I heard my grandmother's voice and was glad.
