Resumen del Editor

In his triumphant fictional debut, Stephen Carter combines a large-scale, riveting novel of suspense with the saga of a unique family.

The Emperor of Ocean Park is set in two privileged worlds: the upper crust African American society of the Eastern seabord - families who summer at Martha’s Vineyard - and the inner circle of an Ivy League law school. Talcott Garland is a successful law professor, devoted father, and husband of a beautiful and ambitious woman, whose future desires may threaten the family he holds so dear. When Talcott’s father, Judge Oliver Garland, a disgraced former Supreme Court nominee, is found dead under suspicious circumstances, Talcott wonders if he may have been murdered.

Guided by the elements of a mysterious puzzle that his father left, Talcott must risk his marriage, his career and even his life in his quest for justice. Superbly written and filled with memorable characters, The Emperor of Ocean Park is both a stunning literary achievement and a grand literary entertainment.

Stephen L. Carter Debut

Struggle to complete. Not my typical genre. I'm romance but decided to try something different.

Well written...sorely read.

What made the experience of listening to The Emperor of Ocean Park the most enjoyable?

I am a fan of descriptive writing. The author did not disappoint.

What aspect of Richard Allen’s performance would you have changed?

The accent did not fit the time period of the character. Too soft... Too gentile.

Any additional comments?

Very slow start.... Far too many unnecessary characters, but still intriguing until the end. Did I miss the epilogue?

Outstanding

The Emperor of Ocean Park is an excellent book, both suspenseful and rich in characters. The narrator does an outstanding job, as well. I would highly recommend this audiobook.

A great read...

Loved it. Insightful, erudite, and a cliff hanger! I actually want to play chess, lol. I love Richard Allen's soothing voice, may he rest.

Exciting

The mystery was enthralling right up to the very end. I haven’t read (listened to) a story that kept me guessing who, what and why about the main character in many years.

Still a masterpiece

I love this read (listen) just as much the second time around, as when I read the hardcover when this was first published in 2002! Excellent performance by the narrator. He brought all of Mr. Carter's flawed (but enticing) characters to life, better than I imagined could be done. Bravo!

Intriguing story…too long!

The book was too long for me…glad to have finished it as I want to see the TV series, but I think it could have been less chapters. I bought a hard copy twenty years ago, but just couldn’t get into it. Excited for the MGM+ series…
