great story and actor reading it.

another wonderful instalment of this series. the guy reading it makes the characters come alive. I can't wait for an audio version of the latest books in this coyz crime series set in the 1920s.

zurück zu den Anfängen

nach den recht klamaukigen beiden vorigen Folgen hatte ich größte Bedenken, mir diesen Teil anzuhören, bin aber angenehm enttäuscht. Hier nimmt die Autorin den Stil der ersten beiden Bände wieder auf, geht aber deutlich tiefer auf psychologische Details der Hauptpersonen ein. Das Ergebnis ist ein grundsolider Krimi mit einigen amüsanten Szenen aber auch vielen nachdenklichen Momenten. Die Charaktere werden hier erstmals differenzierter gezeichnet - die Guten haben ihre dunklen Seiten, die Bösen haben auch mal Tugenden. Hoffentlich hält die Autorin diesen Kurs auch im nächsten Band.

Great books, funny, well read. solid 4.5 but...

I really, really like the series. And the performance is lovely. it's easy to differentiate between characters even when they speak unannounced. The dialects are executed beautifully. Without being overly exaggerated. The stories are both funny and very well thought out. The characters are very nicely written and developing throughout the books. Sometimes a little cliché, but never overly so. I really grew to love them and have them return. If you are one for fast action and quickly progressing stories this series is not for you I think. But if you like nice characters and a steadily unfolding plot, get comfy and dream yourself into another world.

So why only four stars if it sounds like a very well rounded series of books? Well I have three major annoyances growing with every book. I have to try really hard to get over them, for the love of the characters and for continuing in the series and it's beautiful story. - so maybe a warning is in order. If you read further you may not be able to "unhear" them.


1. The only emotional expression for men, whether excitement or distress seems to be "running their Fingers through their hair". Everytime I hear that sentence i physically flinch. And that is quite a few times in every book. it even makes me growl in frustration sometimes when listening with my headphones on. which gives me funny looks from my wife.

2. Who on god's green earth decided to have that stupid dog bark every time it gets mentioned. It's so annoying that I now dislike the character of the dog within the story. - sadly! I usually like dogs.

3. Why is every glass of liquor a "snifter". Yes, having found a funny old word you like can be challenging sometimes. One tends to overuse it. But there have to be other, funny, oldtimey words.

So there you have it, don't say I didn't warn you. I will go now and run the fingers through my hair to calm myself down.

Looking forward to the next book. all in all a really solid 4.5 stars.
