Unconvinced
Revisado: 07-29-21
The material is pretty interesting in itself, but I find the tone of the writing slightly self-congratulatory and didactic about things that many people see as matters of belief or interpretation. Also, I’m sorry, but a talented voice-actor Mr Cano is not, although he does a very good John Zaffis imitation.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 187
A classic Ngaio Marsh novel which features blood-curdling murders in the confines of a riverboat, the Zodiac, cruising through Constable country. 'He looks upon the murders that he did in fact perform as tiresome and regrettable necessities', reflected Chief Superintendent Roderick Alleyn on the international crook known as 'the Jampot'.

A most entertaining performance!

The way Mr. Saxon runs through a challenging variety of genders and accents is sheer virtuosity; his rendering of the American Mr Hewson is especially entertaining!

When an antique bridal quilt appears under mysterious circumstances at the vintage clothing shop where Rachel Grant works, she is fascinated. She has never been able to resist handmade textiles from the past, for she believes that through the ages, women wove protective magic into their fabrics in order to mark the important events of their lives: birth, marriage, and death.

Why abridged when Books on Tape has it unabridged

- De: Barbara Michaels

"Abridged" is an understatement
Revisado: 04-17-16
Is there anything you would change about this book?
Restore at least some of the text; this was so brutally abridged that much of the character development, interesting detail and background that make Michaels' books so easy to get lost in is missing, leaving huge, gaping holes.
What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
Since this is a romance novel, supernatural background aside, the happy ending is hardly a surprise and isn't really meant to be. And you don't need to be a genius to figure out the "mystery," Michaels having obligingly provided plenty of hints; the interest is in how the characters go about figuring it out.
Any additional comments?
When you read the book, the awkwardness and stiffness of some of the dialogue isn't really intrusive, but listening to a performance of it seem to emphasize the problem. I love Michaels' books for the background, and sadly most of it was abridged to death - this also makes the weakness of the dialogue more obvious. Prefer the novel to the audiobook in this case!
