Audiobooks: July & August 2022

And Then You Dye by Monica Ferris read by Susan Boyce.
This was the next in the Needlecraft Mysteries series. I suspect I skip through some of the story when I read the books because this one dragged and there seemed to be many small things which could easily be left out.
Murder Under The Sun by Agatha Christie read by Hugh Fraser.
13 short stories, expertly read by Hastings. Too many Parker Pyne stories in my opinion, but otherwise very enjoyable. A perfect summer listen.
The Dictionary of Lost Words by Pip Williams read by Pippa Bennett-Warner
This was recommended to me and was different from the things I usually listen to. I found the story as it tied in with the dictionary very interesting, but some of the personal life of the heroine, Esme, was less important to me. I can well believe that others react differently.
Summer at Fairacre by Miss Read read by Prunella Scales
I was quite happy, enjoying the summer term at the village school and then moving into the long weeks of the summer holidays, with the surfeit of gooseberries and other village pre-occupations.
The Destructors and Other Stories by Graham Greene read by Stephen Thorne
An interesting collection of short stories, some of which I enjoyed more than others (always the way with a short story collection) but all with a satisfying twist at the end. I have another four Greene stories in my TBL list - clearly he's an author I enjoy listening to in preference to reading.
Letters of Note: Correspondence Deserving a Wider Audience curated by Shaun Usher 14 narrators
A wide variety of letters, (about 130 in total), each introduced by Shaun Usher. I listened to it over a few months, frequently only listening to one or two letters a day. Interesting for some of the insights the letters give.
