Reviews

Thank you Sharon Kilmer!


(5 stars)

Your work is very much appreciated! I've listened to libravox for 10 years now, and you are one of the best!

Not Worth the Time


(2 stars)

Nicely read but a rather poor novel. We hear the same statements over and over again. Also too many childish "are too, am not" sorts of arguments. The protagonist is honest to a fault and rather trying. The basic story was somewhat interesting but the execution was terrible. This was the first Hume I've read - I'm going to read Murder in a Hansom Cab next. If that isn't any better that will be the last Fergus Hume story for me.

YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW


(5 stars)

A very clever plot and fairly well read. As one reviewer noted, there is some repetitious action and the arguments could have been a bit more mature. The ending was satisfying, but Hume missed one great opportunity: he could have arranged for Mallien to marry Rupert's housekeeper! Ha!

a good mystery


(4 stars)

Entertaining story. Reader does an okay job, but mispronounces lots of words. The most egregious of her mispronunciations is “statue” of limitations. I cringed every time she said it.

interesting story

Ups & downs


(3 stars)

I really appreciate the readers time and effort she put into this book, the audio quality was good too. However, there were constant mispronunciations which made it hard to relax into the listening… The book itself was a good plot and interesting story, but a lot of repetition in the dialogue for some reason. If the reader didn’t make so many mistakes, I think this would’ve been easier to handle and not as obvious.

Good one!
