Review:All the characters that delight on television are recreated in these unabridged audiobooks. Suchet's reading is a treat and he handles Colonel Hastings and Inspector Japp's voices very well. Your mind accompanies the reading with scenes from the television shows.

Review:I started reading this collection and started to put it down. Got through to the middle of the book. As I read it became more interesting. She really seemed to get better with each book and keeps everything in sync. Not my first choice in books but not my last choice either. Read more

Review:Joanne Fluke is on of my favorite writers. I love this series and have purchased every one in the series....and that's A LOT!!! Very funny, easy read when you just want to be entertained.
I especially love the fact that you get recipes in each book. I am a baker and love to try new recipes. Read more
Review:I liked this book, but it was definitely creepy!!! I found myself becoming unsettled fairly early on, and it only got worse.as the book progressed. Old-style writing, naturally, but still easy enough to get into to give you some uneasy dreams if you read it at night. Read more

Review:The story is quite melodramatic in the spirit of the time in which it was written. The prose is verbose and sometimes convoluted. Nevertheless, I was engaged and eager for the conclusion to be revealed. Read more
