Perfect for Bertie Wooster and Poirot fans

Revisado: 12-25-24

This series is so entertaining while still keeping you invested in the mysteries. The narrator captures the delightful banter and various character voices very well.

Great comfort reading book. Relatable characters and fun whodunnit plot. I’m looking forward to reading the next one.

Very interesting story

Revisado: 09-25-23

This is another great series by Brennan. The world and characters have depth and kept me interested, even when plot slowed down in places. The reader seemed not quite right for the story, but it was still an enjoyable listen.

Another perfect, Christie & Armitage combination

Revisado: 06-04-23

As with his other Agatha Christie books, or should Armitage voiced these characters perfectly. It was always very easy to follow the different characters, and I was curious to see how he would voice this narrator - he made it completely believable.

Lost all charm this time

Revisado: 05-28-23

We enjoyed the first book in the series quite a bit. The writing was a fun homage to Wodehouse and his Jeeves & Wooster characters, and the reader James Lance overcame any shortcomings in the writing with his perfect interpretation. Lance is superb at capturing all the zany characters and their respective dialects and personalities.

Unfortunately, this time all that remains are the character names. Jeeves and Bertie sound and behave so similarly that additionally, with this reader's near complete lack of voicing, it's easy to lose track of which of them is even speaking. Bertie's gormless and giddy antics are gone, Jeeves is a shadow of himself. If the reader put more personality into the dialogue and tried to capture any of the dialects, it could still be entertaining as there is a plot in there that can be fun enough (if you can ignore all the characters' lack of Wodehouse wit and hilarity). But between the writing and reading, it is disappointingly dry and dull. We really wanted to love it.

Perfect narrator

Revisado: 05-18-23

The story is an entertaining mystery and very enjoyable, but what I love most is the way Carmichael voices the characters. Spot on.

One of my new favorites

Revisado: 12-24-20

I thought I’d give this a try as I love Armitage’s reading, and I needed something to pass the time as I wrapped presents. I’m so glad I did, what a gem! Richard Armitage is, as usual, fantastic, with his beautiful voice and interpretation of the characters. I often get annoyed with adult versions of “children voices” but his voices for the children fit so well into the story that they don’t distract at all. I love the warmth of his narration so much.

The story is a little predictable, but that doesn’t take away from the charm of it at all. A very heartwarming read for the Christmas season. This will be a yearly tradition for me now. Thank you audible!

I loved it

Revisado: 05-12-20

I laughed out loud so many times with this one. The very unconventional superheroes were brilliant, and Bahni Turpin is a comedic genius.

Wow!

Revisado: 02-20-19

I really wasn’t expecting much, but I am thoroughly proven wrong. This was a great read. The author really does capture the Wodehouse humor and the hilarious characters. There are a few modern elements which add some new interest, but there were many times I forgot that I wasn’t listening to a Wodehouse original. Very well done! And the reader captured it perfectly.
