like the title says it's a good thing his writing got better over time because this particular outing was very much less than previous listenings that I have enjoyed.

The language is stilted and although in subsequent books we are asked to suspend belief, in this one the coincidences are just far too common and absurd to make the story flow properly.

most of his other works are quite enjoyable but I would stay away from this one.

the author is obviously in love with Bram Stoker's style of writing. very melodramatic and Victorian in style. I've never "seen" grown men weep so often in a book.

Terrific addition to a brilliant series. Best read in order though. too much back story for stand alone

this one is marginally better than the last because at least the talking pets don't solve the crime. the narrator sounds like William Shatner doing James Kirk. he speaks far too fast and it's almost impossible to tell the differences between the various characters by his voice. thank God this is the only one in the series that Steve West does not narrate.

A fantastic story. well read and exciting. A welcome knowledge that JKR can write fiction for more than tweens

and whereas the story is still a very good one unfortunate the narration the tracks greatly. I found it very difficult to differentiate between characters animal control in Reading was a great disappointment

not a bad ending but I found it odd that a five year old Puerto Rican girl who spends most of her teenage years on another planet comes back with a bronx accent.

it's not Harry Dresden or even The Iron Druid but it is an enjoyable series and he seems to write the Books at a pace that is acceptable rather than having to wait for years for the next installment.
