Narration just kills this one

Revisado: 10-07-23

Breathy, baby-voiced narration detracts so much from the story I can’t finish listening to this.

Wow! Just wow!

Revisado: 04-23-22

An imaginative, original premise, endearing characters, humor, heartbreaking moments, well-paced writing and engaging storytelling. This little gem has everything. This was my introduction to Mr. McDonnell’s writing, and he is now among my very favorites. I recommend this one highly!

It’s okay.

Revisado: 03-28-22

An okay little mystery, but I don’t like it when authors make their characters so incredibly dumb. Why make the main character lie about looking for a lost dog, for heaven’s sake? When so many of the complications and the puzzle of the mystery rely on the main character lying to say she was looking for books instead of looking for a lost dog…it makes no sense. She is supposed to be a well-educated, 36 year old woman, but is completely controlled by men - an old high school boyfriend and her ex husband influence her every action. She can’t even go to the grocery store because she might run into someone who mentions her old high school boyfriend.

The references to Alice in Wonderland were fun.

Narrator was good,, and I would listen to other books she read, However, Zoe is pronounced Zo-ey. Two syllables.

Great story, horrible narration

Revisado: 02-10-22

Susan Wittig Albert always delivers great stories with strong central characters in an interesting setting. How sad to have an inconsistent, breathy, weak reading ruin the experience.

Well written, interesting characters, fun setting, and a top notch narrator - this is a surprisingly good mystery series - I can't wait to get into the next one!

Narrator was okay. Characters were too stupid to live. Maybe enough plot for a short story.

Oh, dear,

I was really pretty excited about this book, I thought the premise sounded really promising. However, the narration is so awful that I just can’t fight my way through this one. I will be returning it, and I recommend you listen to the sample before you purchase it. Please hire an actress and don’t attempt to read your own work.

What a let down

Revisado: 03-01-20

I enjoyed the first books in this series, but this one is a disappointment. A seriously abused woman is the central character, and her reaction to the abuse is just glossed over to the point that the loving hero sees fit to tease her about it? And a girl with no education, no experience, who is the product of an impoverished, abusive home is accepted by the London ton? All the characters seem to have no moral compass, as they lie and happily set about making fools of all their acquaintances. As far as the narration, unlike other books read by Jessica Elisa Boyd, this one is breathy, read in a husky whisper which is really annoying.

A great new world from Faith Hunter

Revisado: 01-11-20

Faith Hunter has once again created a new world that pulls the reader in from the first word. Shining, her cats and her AI companions are surviving in a dystopian world ravaged by war. Shining is in a heart-breaking, terrifying situation and survives with strength, intelligence and humor. Her discussions with Jolene are really funny, but at the same time, the tragic history of Shining and her friends is woven into every scene. I strongly recommend this one - and I want more from Shining and the cats!

Skip it

If this had been the first Peter Shandy book I read, it would have been the last Peter Shandy book I read. Awful, just awful.
