Story
One of Jane Austen’s most beloved works, Pride and Prejudice, is vividly brought to life by Academy Award nominee Rosamund Pike ( Gone Girl). In her bright and energetic performance of this British classic, she expertly captures Austen’s signature wit and tone. Her attention to detail, her literary background, and her performance in the 2005 feature film version of the novel provide the perfect foundation from which to convey the story of Elizabeth Bennet, her four sisters, and the inimitable Mr. Darcy.

The Harry Stark series has been a relaxing bit of fun… distractions from current world misery. ……Up to book 13.
A most enjoyable feature was the absence of politics and terrorism. I do not want an audiobook that paints the picture of my hometown being blown up by terrorists. I hope this was a temporary shift. I may return this purchase.

Ever since disgraced associate Orrie Cather’s suicide, armchair detective Nero Wolfe has relished retirement in his Manhattan brownstone on West 35th Street. Two years after Cather’s death, only a visit from Maria Radovich - and the urging of Wolfe’s prize assistant, Archie Goodwin - could draw the eccentric and reclusive genius back into business. Maria’s uncle, New York Symphony Orchestra conductor Milan Stevens, formerly known as Milos Stefanovic, spent his youth alongside Wolfe as a fellow freedom fighter in the mountains of Montenegro.

If The writer has decided to take on a new career of political propaganda rather than delightful mystery writing, this will end my interest in the Nero Wolfe series.

Gregory McDonald tackles America’s current complicated cultural issues. He does so with warmth, humor and intelligence.
Flynn is my new favorite character. I already love him.
I hope this is a new series. I do wish the novel was 10 hours rather than 5.
More more more of Flynn.

Reviewed: 04-01-18
I bought Unbound with considerable trepidation because the series lost steam a couple of years ago. This one was surprisingly good, however. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Teddy FAY was always one of my favorite characters. If there had been a bit more humor, I would've given it five stars.
