Well, this was a reread for me and I said I was going to "tag along" with MR's, BT's and Lillelara's buddy read -- turns out I ended up whizzing through it because I liked it so much better this time around than when I first read it. In part, this is doubtlessly due to David Timson's audio narrati...
Anne Perry: A Christmas Guest The third book in Anne Perry's series of Christmas novellas, each one of which has as their protagonist one of the supporting characters from Perry's main series (William Monk, and Charlotte & Thomas Pitt). This installment's starring role goes to Charlotte Pitt's vin...
What can I say other than the book is worth the hype? I wasn't sure at the start; I listened to the audiobook version - which was excellently done - and Gabriel Betteredge's opening narrative is... trying. I loved his character the best and the narrator who played his part played it to the hilt...
I bought this audiobook when it was a Daily Deal on Audible.I reviewed an e-book version of this way back in April, so I don't plan to write another synopsis or very much about the story itself. My feelings about the story didn't really change, although I was maybe more keenly aware of the giant pil...
I read this novel as a teenager and again in my twenties and on both occasions I disliked it intensely. Along with Tess of the d'Urbervilles’s biography of the Brontë family, which I’ve had sitting around for a couple of years. Its 1000 pages remain daunting, but I’ll get to it eventually. I’ve on...
Another great adventure - murder by poison dart, a hidden treasure, and one of the criminals actually has a wooden leg! A triumph for Holmes and a romance for Dr. Watson. This book was better constructed than A Study in Scarlet, with the "explanation" limited to a chapter near the end which was bett...

I first read A Study in Scarlet as a teenager. I was a fervent mystery fan and read all the “classic” mystery writers with enjoyment. But Arthur Conan Doyle was a craftsman and a superb storyteller. His tales of Holmes and Watson absorbed me, fired my imagination, and gave me hours of entertainment....

I didn't love this Sherlock Holmes book because I wasn't really engaged by the mystery. That said, though, some of the mystery took place in India, so there was a bit of an exotic flare about it. It's also the book in which we find out how Dr. Watson meets his beloved wife Mary. This book was als...
