Nice non-violent mystery with a bit of romance and lots of British culture (for this American who loved traveling through the same places as in the series 😇).

Simple story lines with quality characters who live realistic lives but end up involved in mysterious situations, usually involving a death- but not always!
You won’t find any gruesome or violent incidents nor sex scenes or even innuendos.
You will find realistic conversations between people, some attracted to each other, some good friends, some not so good friends, and good storylines that are interesting and descriptive.

Great mystery stories with non-violent, non-gory murders. Realistic and conservative storylines make these a pleasurable listening experience for any age!

We need these stories especially in light of today’s news events that in many ways are repeating history. Will we ever learn?
World War II resistance fighters will never receive all the accolades they deserve but this story is another retelling of the sacrifices they made, of their bravery, and of their losses.
Simply reading or listening to this story will give them more of the recognition they deserve. While historical in the telling, the narrative is interesting and well worth the time spent reading/listening.

I admit I’m “prejudice “ as I am a pronunciation and linguistics professor, but the narrator has NO CONCEPT of native Coloradans accent — we have NO accent and we NEVER talk through our noses!
Other than this, it is another good “chick mystery” by Maggie Sefton.
But please don’t use this narrator again!!! PLEASE!!!

A good reminder that the “war to win all wars” was destructive and deadly, yet even good could be found.
Too bad this same story lives on today with people fighting over something that they don’t really want but think they must have, when what they truly desire is relationship and peace!!

The story/plot is great or just as good as the others in the series.
But the 1st person narrative of Gentry takes something out. Can’t say exactly what it takes out but if this was the 1st book, I’d have not gotten another.
I only made it to the end to “hear how it all turned out”.

A typical Jack Ryan classic, but...

Jack Ryan Jr. is way too sappy and emotional in all the wrong places in this story. His “attachment” to Isabel becomes more and more stupid and sappy NOT the “loving protector” the story seems to be attempting to portray.
However, I’ve read/listened to the book about 4 times and I’ll read/listen again (I read the whole series each time a new book comes out or when I want conspiracies!). Ignoring the sappy sections, the story is good!! Another great “Clancy” starring the Ryan clan!

As usual, the story is great!
But the recording needs to be cleaned up. At times, the voices are muffled and barely understandable.

George Guidall is a great reader. I have multiple books read by him, but he can’t do Marcus Riker.
