When a troubled young man named Billy asks Cormoran Strike to help him investigate a crime he witnessed as a child, the private eye is left deeply troubled. While Billy is obviously mentally distressed and cannot remember many concrete details, there is something sincere about him and his story. But before Strike can question him further, Billy bolts from his office in a panic.

I didn’t expect to enjoy this book as much as I did. Storytelling was done well. I love how well the author describes characters. It was a great escape into a compelling story.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 41,342
In 1922, Count Alexander Rostov is deemed an unrepentant aristocrat by a Bolshevik tribunal, and is sentenced to house arrest in the Metropol, a grand hotel across the street from the Kremlin. Rostov, an indomitable man of erudition and wit, has never worked a day in his life, and must now live in an attic room while some of the most tumultuous decades in Russian history are unfolding outside the hotel’s doors. Unexpectedly, his reduced circumstances provide him entry into a much larger world of emotional discovery.

I did not know anything about this book when o downloaded it. It did take a bit too get into it, but once I did, I loved it. Lovely story with unexpected twists and descriptions that made the characters and setting familiar make this a treasure. I was sad when it was over.

Nicely read. Great to learn about Cicero from his spaces point of view. Anxious to read more Robert Harris. Only comment-there are long silent breaks between chapters. Thought my player was broke.

Ed Kennedy is an underage cabdriver without much of a future. He's pathetic at playing cards, hopelessly in love with his best friend, Audrey, and utterly devoted to his coffee-drinking dog, the Doorman. His life is one of peaceful routine and incompetence, until he inadvertently stops a bank robbery.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 375
Set in the industrialising England of the Napoleonic wars, a period of bad harvests, Luddite riots, and economic unrest, Shirley is the story of two contrasting heroines and the men they love. One is the shy Caroline Helstone, trapped in the oppressive atmosphere of a Yorkshire rectory, whose life represents the plight of single women in the 19th century. The other is the vivacious Shirley Keeldar, who inherits a local estate and whose wealth liberates her from convention.

Anglophile favorite
Reviewed: 09-14-12
Would you consider the audio edition of Shirley to be better than the print version?
Not necessarily
Would you recommend Shirley to your friends? Why or why not?
I would recommend Shirley to any who love the time period or the stories of British. I just returned from England and loved coming home and hearing the descriptions of the moors and the life of the English townpeople in their struggles during the British Industrial Revolution.
What about Anna Bentinck’s performance did you like?
Terrific reader that keeps one engaged in long descriptive parts.
