Story4.5 out of 5 stars 2,691
Judith Potts is 77 years old and blissfully happy. She lives on her own in a faded mansion just outside Marlow, there’s no man in her life to tell her what to do or how much whisky to drink, and to keep herself busy she sets crosswords for The Times newspaper. One evening, while out swimming in the Thames, Judith witnesses a brutal murder. The local police don’t believe her story, so she decides to investigate for herself and is soon joined in her quest by Suzie, a salt-of-the-earth dog-walker, and Becks, the prim and proper wife of the local vicar.

easy mystery to solve

the narration is good and the voices for the 3 female characters were excellent. but the mystery was clear a mile away so I wasn't really engrossed in the story

The New York Times best-selling author of Magpie Murders and Moriarty brilliantly reinvents the classic crime novel once again with this clever and inventive mystery starring a fictional version of the author himself as the Watson to a modern-day Holmes, investigating a case involving buried secrets, murder, and a trail of bloody clues.

discrepancy is the book put me off
Reviewed: 03-07-19
the performance/reading of the book is great. a discrepancy on something that is meant to demonstrate how brilliant Hawthorne is at reading between the lines and understanding human nature really took me out of the mystery. :( I won't spoil it.

Classic Upper Crust Mystery
- By Laurence G. Byrne on 02-25-16
- A Man Lay Dead
- By: Ngaio Marsh
- Narrated by: Philip Franks
classic detective story, done well
Reviewed: 11-18-16
if you read Ngaio Marah, you know own what you are getting: a solid mystery (logic pizzzle) with a teeny bit of character development for the detective thrown.in over many novels. I love these books and two classic British detective genre. there is a very good reason Marsh ranks up there with Christie and Sayers.
here, the narrator/voice performer does am excellent job with the different characters.

Story4 out of 5 stars 253
It started as a student exercise, the knife under the drape, the model's pose chalked in place. But before Agatha Troy, artist and instructor, returns to the class, the pose has been re-enacted in earnest: the model is dead, fixed for ever in one of the most dramatic poses Troy has ever seen. It's a difficult case for Chief Detective Inspector Alleyn. How can he believe that the woman he loves is a murderess? And yet no one can be above suspicion.

Victor Bayne, the psychic half a PsyCop team, is a gay medium who's more concerned with flying under the radar than in making waves. He hooks up with handsome Jacob Marks, a non-psychic (or "Stiff") from an adjacent precinct at his ex-partner's retirement party, and it seems like his dubious luck has taken a turn for the better. But then a serial killer surfaces who can change his appearance to match any witness' idea of the world's hottest guy.

Perfect narrator for one of my favorite books!

- Among the Living
- PsyCop, Book 1
- By: Jordan Castillo Price
- Narrated by: Gomez Pugh
great start to the series in audio
Reviewed: 01-15-15
Would you listen to Among the Living again? Why?
Yes, I would listen again. Gomez Pugh is perfect, with just the right accent and inflection for Vic.
Have you listened to any of Gomez Pugh’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
This series is my only exposure to his work but I would listen to something else he narrates.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I listened during my work commute but I would have continued way past that. Vic is an engaging protangonist and his world is well realized.
Any additional comments?
Don't let the romance/sex parts scare you away! This book is a fun psychic mystery with a main character you want to take home and hug (if he let you anywhere near him). The series keeps building, letting us know more about Vic, his past, and the conspiracies in his world.
