It was a slog just to keep listening to this book. The readers/actors were great but the story was over 15 hours long! Kept falling asleep to the many characters telling the same story from their point of view. We breathed a sigh of relief when it was over. I sure it could be read fast than listening to it.

Wanted to like this book even tho it was obvious from the beginning it was a fluff book. The characters were all over the board and I found myself not caring much about the outcome.

Robert Galbraith is a pseudonym for JK Rowling. In the Cormoran Strike series, as in the Potter series, she draws tangible characters you become invested in. The growing friendship between Cormoran and Robin is a lovely subplot to the murder mysteries. Can't wait for the fifth one, Troubled Blood, coming in September!

This was a fantastic book! It has won the Newberry Award for juvenile fiction (chapter book). Two sisters and their widowed mother move in with their ailing grandmother. The girls resent the move away from home and friends. It's difficult to cope with all that and the grandmother with dementia. This story includes making new friends, coping with a magical tiger and accepting death. It will make you smile and cry! This would a great read-aloud to share with older children and adults!

Another great book from Taylor, always look forward to the next one coming out. He always makes you hate the bad guys like it’s personal. Plake Logan always manage to find trouble even on vacation

4 stars for a solid addition to this excellent historical mystery series. It is set in London, January, 1814. Alexi Sauvage has introduced Hero Devlin to a 8 months pregnant wife of a recently impressed cooper. Her husband was snatched of the street by a Royal Navy press gang. She is desperate need of food and coal. Hero and her friend Alexi assist her in the successful birth of her child. They are returning to Hero's carriage when they stumble upon the body of a woman. Hero recognizes her as Jane Ambrose, piano teacher to Princess Charlotte, the Regent's daughter. She sends word to her husband, Sebastian St Cyr, Viscount Devlin. Sauvage has told Hero that the body was moved after death, due to the lack of blood from the wound. Devlin decides to investigate what was either a murder or manslaughter. However, the Palace does not want this classed as a murder, because it would embarrass the Royal family. The authorities announce that she died as a result of a fall, hitting her head. Devlin angers some powerful people by investigating and is attacked. He does solve the murder. There are many suspects with twists and turns in the plot. I was not sure of who the killer was until near the end. I like that the author incorporates the use of terms in use in 1814 London: Footpad=robber cutpurse=thief Description of Hero's clothes: "Unable to use her carriage in the snow-filled streets and scorning sedan chairs, she pulled on demi-broquins of fine morocco lined with fur, wrapped herself in a fur trimmed pelisse with a matching Swedish hat fastened up on one side, and walked." The author discusses the plight of the poor, compared with the rich and the inequities of limited suffrage, and limitations placed upon talented women in Regency Britain. I recommend that you read this series in order, as there are developments in Devlin's personal life throughout the series. See my review of book 1 What Angels Fear: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show... I read this library book in 3 days.

I love the book .My favorite part is Dog Man cut the cheese well FARTING. I would like to meet Dav Pilkey.

The images are breath taking. The story is enticing. Next read is the original text to get the full complexity of the characters. But the graphic novel is excellently done.

This audio selection contains 6 short stories by P.D. James. Each story is wonderfully plotted and the reader, Dan Weyman, is clear and easy to listen to. This is a plus in audio books. Murders with a few twists for a winter's night listening!

We enjoy these as a family. Leo and Dean like to learn about the characters without watching the movies
