Theophrastus Longuet is a retired manufacturer of rubber stamps in Paris. He now spends his days relaxing, safe from life’s vicissitudes. with his lovely wife Marceline and long time friend M. Lecamus. However into every life a little rain must fall and it becomes apparent that a perfect storm is about to arrive in the lives of our tranquil threesome. The malevolent spirit of a murdering brigand named Cartouche, who was executed in Paris in 1721, is about to disrupt their perfect lives, in a way that will change them all forever. Not even the enigmatic Mage, M. Eliphas de Saint-Elme de Taillebourg de la Nox, in his mysterious underground crypt, may be enough to save them all. (Summary by afinevoice) (6 hr 39 min)

Reseñas

Mediocre, at Best


(2.5 stars)

I wonder if, perhaps, this was written more for older kids, than for adults, as it is very, very basic. One of the readers was nearly yelling and another sounded like she was reading in her sleep. I realize these are volunteers, but things like cadence, inflection, and pronunciation matter.

This story was wild


(5 stars)

It was one wild ride. The description doesn't do the book justice. I listened to it at work and I have to say, it spooked me a little. Give it a listen, you'll like it.
