Bravo


(5 stars)

what a mystery! ( baffling at times!) Bravo to a reader who " just reads." He never changed his own voice, and thus avoided ridiculous attempts to sound like a woman. what a relief, and the story gains by it. Thank You.

The Plot Thickens and Thickens


(5 stars)

This story has just the right amount of cleverness to keep me interested without the author seemingly showing off his own cleverness. I was engaged from start to finish. The reader seemed perfectly matched to the material. So many audiobooks I lose interest in half way through or earlier. This one kept me hooked all the way to the end, and for all that, 5 stars.


(5 stars)

Great mystery story with some intricate twists and turns, a bit of the far-fetched sort of material one expects in mystery stories of this era, plus some great, sometimes quite funny, character sketches. And a really wonderful reader. He goes at just the right pace and tone to relax and enjoy being read to, neither flat not theatrical. A+

Now U See 'Em, Now U......


(5 stars)

Another fine murder mystery & another solved by Dr Thornton. Very clever not who don-it but who really was in the coffin? Two deaths, one body with confirmation of 2 witnesses and 2 doctors.

A nice mystery and well read; however, the mispronunciation of D'Arblay was an annoyance to the very end.
