I Say No

Held me until the very end!

The number of chapters made me think I'd lose interest after a while, but not this one! It held my attention until the very final reveal! The mystery of Emily's Father's death is central to the plot, but the characters are so well fleshed out and lovable, hate-able, or just downright suspicious! You cannot help but get into all of the subplots going on! Further, the reader is superior to most all Librivox readers I've heard to date. Not a word mispronounced, she pronounces all of the French with a darling french accent (a sticking point with me how poorly most Librivox readers pronounce French since I used to teach it in school)! And I love how she has a voice for each character that remains consistent through the whole of the book! I hope to find more by this reader! She made the book work for me. Terrific story, even better reader that made it more like listening to a soap opera!

this is the first book i have read/listened to by this author. a new favorite! i will be looking for more by this author. an admirable mystery with romance that men and woman can enjoy because it is not to sappy and the mystery is captivating. many plausible twists that making you wonder until nearly the end. and she ties every loose end up in a bow at the end of the book. the reader did fantastic! great energy and voicing of characters.

Long but good

I enjoyed this book. In a few places the audio is a bit muffled (chpts. in the 30's) but stay with it as it only lasts for 2 or 3 chapters. The :reader does a great job verbally acting each character. Some other books where this has been tried can become annoying but it works well here as she is a very talented actress. The story stays interesting right up to the end.

If you like other Wilkie Collins books...

You will enjoy this one as well. Wonderfully diverse cast of well developed characters, which the reader does an admiral job of conveying. I don't know how they do it and keep track, but it makes the listening enjoyable. Lots of twists & turns. And for me, one of the most evil characters in the form of a rich and jealous girl.

Good story

Wilkie Collins is almost always an excellent read. The summary covers the plot so I won't add to it to avoid giving the story away. I really enjoyed the readers of this book because they got into the storyline and did a nice job with voice inflections and bringing the story to life. It was a most exciting tale.

Good Story- Excellent Reader

Sandra G is an excellent reader- one of the best I have heard on LibriVox. Her voice for Francine perfectly captures the character. The rest of her characterizations and narration are just as good. A very good Wilkie Collins story all of the characters are fairly interesting - which isn't always the case.

This book is interesting and scandalous far before it's time. I have discovered Wilkie Collins just lately. My loss. A master of crime fiction and intrigue with a healthy dose of ROMCOM. Treat yourself. The major narrator of this selection was perfect beyond words. A very well spoken young woman just like our heroine.
