In The Best Cases of The Continental Op, an original compilation of eight stories from Skyboat Media, the Op walks, stalks, and runs down the steep streets of San Francisco to solve crimes of blackmail, murder, stolen identities, and arson, and each story contains so many twists and turns you’ll be hooked until the very (surprising) end....

Excellent intro by Alison; Stefan has the perfect voice for the Continental Op. The stories are beautifully crafted by the maestro of mystery.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 42
The battle between a father and a daughter is usually portrayed in literature as a struggle between a headstrong but feisty girl and a tradition-bound lead weight of a father. Henry James, of course, had to do it somewhat differently. He tells a story of an intelligent man riding the turn of the tide in mid-19th-century New York and watching what he sees as his numbingly dull and conventional daughter making the mistake of her life in her choice of husband.

chilling story
Revisado: 04-30-21
I am a film fan and have been drawn to books that have turned into great movies. In this case , 'The Heiress', with Olivia de Haviland, Montgomery Clift, Ralph Richardson, and Miriam Hopkins. 'Washington Square' is excellent--- a chilling story that may be painful to anyone who suffered a domineering parent. Jennifer Ehlw's reading is understated, which is appropriate to Henry James' tone. It's fascinating to see how William Wyler changed plot elements to make it work as a film.

Set on the French Riviera in the late 1920s, Tender Is the Night is the tragic romance of the young actress Rosemary Hoyt and the stylish American couple Dick and Nicole Diver. A brilliant young psychiatrist at the time of his marriage, Dick is both husband and doctor to Nicole, whose wealth goads him into a lifestyle not his own, and whose growing strength highlights Dick's harrowing demise. A profound study of the romantic concept of character - lyrical, expansive, and hauntingly evocative.

Very well done
Revisado: 04-27-21
I was surprised there was only 1 option for an Audible of this famous work. Therese Plummer's performance was quite good. Here and there I felt the tone was a bit overdramatic when the mood of the passage was, to me, flatter. But her characterizations, especially of the female characters, was excellent. It's a very challenging book to perform. As profoundly sad as the story is, there are riotously funny episodes and lines, and I found that Therese's performance brought out the comic moments more vividly than when I read the book myself.

This is the story of the unhappy family of Anna Karenina. The novel contains much concerning Tolstoy's spiritual crisis and his search for the meaning of life. But it is also chiefly about marriage, and the growth and death of love.

Brilliant rendition

I owned this version as a CD set and sought it out when I joined Audible. Divina Porter renders the story with beauty and sensitivity. Truly one of the greatest of all novels.
