Story
Agatha Christie wrote The Mysterious Affair at Styles during the midst of World War I. The book was published in 1920 and became extremely popular because of the well-grounded plot and interesting characters. The novel is set at Styles Court, a wealthy estate in England during the war. The estate's owner, Mrs. Cavendish, had inherited the estate as well as vast sums of money from her late husband.

The most ridiculous pronunciation throughout the story. Very distracting!

Performance was terrible which took away from the story with constant distraction. I will have to read this myself to better understand the characters and plot. Poirot's accent was laughable.

Story
In The Worst of You, just-wed architects Timo and Nia flee a murder scene, setting in motion a chain reaction of lies and betrayals that threaten to unravel everything they have built together. Twisted and propulsive, this thriller is told from the alternating perspectives of the couple and those close to them on Williwaw Island, each with their own motive to use the outcome of the murder case to their advantage. When a huge storm sweeps up the coast, trapping everyone on tiny Williwaw Island, it’s a race against time—and the elements — to stop the murderer from striking again.

Utterly boring

A very slow, obvious and boring story. Two dimensional characters and an equally boring and irritating performance. The first audio book I will be asking for a refund on.

Multilayered and deliciously confusing. Great characters, lots of wrong turns and red herrings taking you places that offer no insight. Loved it.

Story
Aimee Sinclair: the actress everyone thinks they know but can’t remember where from. Except me. I know exactly where you’re from, who you are, what you’ve done. Your husband has gone missing and the police think you’re hiding something. You lie for a living, always pretending to be someone else. But that’s not new, is it? Because I know you lied before. You’ve always lied. And the lies we tell ourselves are always the most dangerous.... This twisty new psychological thriller will leave your heart pounding and your pulse racing.

Kept me in a mildly disturbed state all the way through! I thought the main protagonist was a bit damp, but the other characters were deliciously unnerving - So many twists and turns - was brilliant!

Story
David Kelsey has an invincible conviction that life is going to work out just as he has planned it - if he can just fix 'the situation'. His one true love, the brilliant, beautiful Annabelle, has married another man. But that doesn't mean they can't still be friends. And even though she is pregnant with her husband Gerald's baby, that surely doesn't mean she won't one day get back together with David. She still loves him, of that he is certain. David is sure she'll take him back and, under an alias, is setting up a wonderful home for the two of them in a town close by.

Sublimely disturbing
Reviewed: 09-06-2023
This tortured tale of obsession, desperation, unrequited love and ultimately complete disassociation from himself and reality, is astonishingly compelling and very difficult to pause. David is awkward, brilliant, broken and cunning and completely oblivious to his own fragmented persona. So rich and twisted - I could not turn it off.

Award-winning actor, creator of a myriad of memorable characters from Lady Whiteadder to Professor Sprout, Miriam Margolyes is a national treasure. Now, at last, at the age of 80, she has finally decided to tell her extraordinary life story. And it's far richer and stranger than any part she's played.

Wondeful, laugh-out-loud, and touching. And certainly honest.

Story
Kafka Tamura runs away from home at 15, under the shadow of his father's dark prophesy. The ageing Nakata, tracker of lost cats, who never recovered from a bizarre childhood affliction, finds his pleasantly simplified life suddenly turned upside down. As their parallel odysseys unravel, cats converse with people, fish tumble from the sky, a ghost-like pimp deploys a Hegel-spouting girl of the night, a forest harbours soldiers apparently un-aged since World War II.
