Story
The Gardener Estate is one of the most storied and beloved places on the West Coast: a magnificent house in vast formal grounds, home to a family that shaped California—and fought hard to conceal the turmoil and eccentricities within their walls. And now, just as the turmoil seems buried and the Estate prepares to move into a new future, construction work unearths a grim relic of the estate's history: a skull, hidden away some fifty years ago.

Then the detectives receive what appears to be a case-breaking lead.

Born in Hungary in 1905, a defector from the Communist Party in 1938, and then arrested in both Spain and France for his political views, Arthur Koestler writes from a wealth of personal experience.

The only criticism l have is that it felt as though the ending were rushed toward, that the conclusions were not as thoughtful as the rest of the body of the book.

The story isn't one of Laurie King's best but it is intriguing. I especially liked the World War I connection. I may read the book again but I'll never again listen to Frank Muller.

What made the experience of listening to Folly the most enjoyable?
Frank Muller as the narrator makes any book come to life and he told stories to their best advantage. The writing was great, I was intruiged the whole way until the end when unfortunately, the writing took a dive and it became disapointingly formulaic. For this reason I had to give four stars instead of five. Until then though I was impressed with the distinct and complex characters and the unpredictable, unusual story.Which character – as performed by Frank Muller – was your favorite?
Rae, the main character was strong and fragile in almost equal measures. Her vulnerability and strength was very relatable.Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
If I'd had the time to do that, absolutely.Well written and performed

Narration so bad it's difficult to get through

"Folly" is best described as a psychological mystery with long periods of descriptions of inner thoughts, landscapes, & interpersonal relationships. It is well & cleanly written. It takes place mostly in the Northwest San Juan Islands & a fictional island in the chain. The narrator is surprisingly appropriate even though the voice is that of a middle aged woman. He "sounds" like Rae perfectly.
Buy "Folly" if the title is discounted or if you are a dedicated King fan.
Slow! Slow story but well written.
