Audiobooks - November 2024
And now my TBL is down to 13 books!
Maigret and the Dead Girl by Georges Simenon, read by Gareth Armstrong. A dead girl is found in Place Vintimille in Paris, and Maigret needs to find out who she is and what brought her to being murdered. The usual entertaining plot.
Safe Enough by Lee Child, read by Richard Armitage. A collection of short stories. I'd not read anything by Lee Child before, so was interested to try his stories. I guessed the twist in about two-thirds of them. Not an author I'd continue to read/listen to.
A Certain Justice by P D James, read by Daniel Weyman. The last P D James in my library and for me a very disappointing end - too many of the reasons why I have disliked her stories and not enough to keep me engaged.
Maigret Sets A Trap by Georges Simenon, read by Gareth Armstrong. Maigret is out to catch a killer and sets up a trap; how the trap works and the outcome is a an excellent story of police work and intelligent deduction. I'm listening to a Maigret every three weeks at the moment, with six books left on my TBL.
The Looking Glass War by John Le Carré, read by Michael Jayston. The fourth in the Smiley series. The Department is determined to go ahead with an operation with as little consultation with the Circus as possible, but have those in charge retained the abilities they had in the war, or are they simply living in the past? Another entertaining listen. I have the next four in the series on my TBL.
