I knew it would be good, but hoped I wouldn't cry. I got both! An engaging story. It's hard to go wrong with Simone Evers reading.

GREAT OR POOR STORY: WHO KNOWS


(5 stars)

This was my first book by this author. He must be good because his scant plot kept me listening. I am unsure about the story being good or bad since the reader was Simon Evers. I will read another just to make sure.

hah!


(5 stars)

wonderful tale- a bit tedious in places. what will I do when I have listened to every recording by Simon Evers?

A rollicking tale and read with panache.
