Story
Los Angeles is a city of stark contrast, the palaces of the affluent coexisting uneasily with the hellholes of the mad and the needy. That shadow world and the violence it breeds draw brilliant psychologist Dr. Alex Delaware and Detective Milo Sturgis into an unsettling case of altruism gone wrong.

Terrible narration!
Reviewed: 05-29-24
Hard to truly judge the story when the narration was so awful. I’ve listened to hundreds of books so I have come across a poor narration every now and then. I can usually overlook or get used to a poor narration but this one was so bad I hated it to the end.

Took much too long to get good
Reviewed: 03-18-24
The narrators were great and the last 3 hours or so were really good but the beginning was way too long and drawn out. I almost returned the book but I’m glad I didn’t because the last quarter of the book was really good.

Story
Vera Wong is a lonely little old lady—ah, lady of a certain age—who lives above her forgotten tea shop in the middle of San Francisco’s Chinatown. Despite living alone, Vera is not needy, oh no. She likes nothing more than sipping on a good cup of Wulong and doing some healthy detective work on the Internet about what her Gen-Z son is up to. Then one morning, Vera trudges downstairs to find a curious thing—a dead man in the middle of her tea shop.

This story was a fun break. The narrator was outstanding and the real reason the book was so entertaining. A good vacation/beach read.

Great read!
Reviewed: 12-31-23
This was an outstanding story made even more impactful because it is true! The author’s descriptions were so realistic, I felt I was experiencing things right along with the characters. The only thing I didn’t like was the choice of narrator. His voice just didn’t fit with the characters or the story. I got used to it and still enjoyed the story.

It is 997 CE, the end of the Dark Ages. England is facing attacks from the Welsh in the west and the Vikings in the east.

In these turbulent times, three characters find their lives intertwined.

Great Story! Narrators not so great
Reviewed: 12-13-23
My favorite kind of story with lots of twists and turns but I almost returned it when I first started listening. The narrator for Max was very hard to get used to. I’m glad I persevered because the story was great.

This book started out slowly and the narration took some getting used to, but I’m glad I didn’t give up. I really liked the story and recommend the book.
