I had the privilege of hearing Mr Lehane speak at a writers conference this year. He spoke with substance and it was the most interesting conversation I heard there. That's what led me to pick up this book. I loved the story and the characters. The story is sophisticated in that it has lots of different layers that make you think and feel. Thank you.

I appreciated hearing about South Africa and the author's unique perspectives on race - they were absolutely insightful. And the stories were interesting. But I feel in some ways the story leaves us in suspense (what is the fate of many characters?) and also I didn't find the jokes funny.

I found this an informative and enjoyable listen. She was a remarkable lady who forged her own path and ladies today need to hear more of these stories. Thank you to the author for giving such a balanced account of her life.

Loved the book. The worst part imo was the dragon subplot - Bridget always sounds too chiding and preachy. The best part was the Icarus and Daedalus subplot. I can't wait for the next one already.

The character of Phil Nellis was annoying. I would say most characters except Jimmy were a bit annoying. The story was OK but didn't really grab my attention or make me laugh like the Stranger Times.

I found this a very enjoyable read. However I wish the end had included the transcript of the piece published by Nadine about Dot - this would have made the ending stronger.

Story is frustratingly stupid at times. The narrator sounds like she could be reading a news bulletin on the BBC.

I am so impressed with this narrator. Literally the literary work comes to life. I've been listening to audio books for a long time and this is the best I've ever heard. But the book also deserves the same type of recognition. This is a very entertaining installment in the story's series. The writing is smart and clever and often laugh out loud humorous. And it's a novel premise. I love it so much and you will too.

3 clever stories different from any other detective stories I've ever read. Would highly recommend.
