What a delightful book! It had all that I expected from the description – humor, self-reflection, abundant description of the French countryside (that made me want to pack a bag immediately!), and an obvious affection for the new friends and home Mark discovered. What I did not expect was to be blown away by Jonathan..
Review from I’ll Never Be French (No Matter What I Do) →
I happened upon this Audible book in desperation for an out-of-town Thanksgiving drive. I always do a sneak-peek listen and was immediately hooked. Mark Greenside’s brilliant and colorful writing was brought to life in perfection. If you understand and appreciate the lovable New York kvetching rants of people like Jerry Seinfeld, Paul Reiser, Louis Black,..
Review from Voyager →
This book started off with a tremendous amount of potential, and there were many more moments throughout the book captured the same promise. Unfortunately, despite clearly being a capable writer the author left so many these moments unexplored or fell flat in the attempt to do so. The blurb suggests that Grover’s murder is part..

if you have any inkling of an understanding of science you will not like this book. There is almost no research put into this book and it has a silly scientific premise that NASA employees would be able to secretly send two manned missions to Alpha Centauri knowing it would take thousands of years to..
I rate this two stars overall, following Audible’s rating system, so two stars actually means ‘Okay’. It means I find it good enough to finish the book, and without any hiatus in listening between chapters (that would have led to a 1 star review). The story wasn’t good enough to warrant three stars (‘pretty good’)..
Review from Death in the Congo →
This audiobook was well written and had good character development. The story was interesting, but If I want to get the full benefit of the story, I guess I would have to get the books that came before it. Jonathan Beville does good with the narrating… I was provided this audiobook for free in the..

I rate according to Audible’s own star system: so wo stars means “okay”. I discovered this was part 5 when I got it, so I decided to take a chance and spent a credit to at least listen to book 1 first; after that I purchased parts 2-4 as ebooks – which obviously means I..

Excellent narration and story. He has the voice for this type of mystery. Enjoyed and thought it was well done. Given audio for my voluntary review and my honest opinion
I really enjoyed this. I’m used to thrillers, but the twists in this really kept my attention. I read this book first – so as the 5th in the series, I really now want to go back and read the others. I really felt like I got to know the different characters. I felt like..
Review from Death in the Congo →
It’s Good VS Evil in this non-stop, action-packed book, and Dan is here to save the day. Death in the Congo is full of action, espionage, twist and turns, and a bit of romance. While it started off a tad bit slow, I was hooked pretty quickly. David Nees really hits home with his descriptions..
