A short satirical take on great detectives

If you are a Sherlock Holmes fan, or maybe a bit tired of him, this short radio drama is for you. Playing of the wit of a wife against the investigative skills of her great detective husband, Tudor Jenks successfully makes fun of the wonderful logical world of deduction.

While the story might be a bit dated, it leaves you with a chuckle. Jenks' point comes over loud and clear, "Do not underestimate those of a different gender persuasion!"

Each story is better than the next!

Fabulous collection of suspenseful stories -- many with realistic surprise endings and some with a whimsical flavor. If this was a paper book, it would be a real "page turner"...

Difficult to hear the narrator

The music is so loud in parts that I couldn't understand what the narrator was saying in parts. His accent, too, made it difficult to understand some of the words. The stories were enjoyable, but the format and quality wasn't great.

Kindermärchen

The stories here are child-friendly Grimm adaptations, short and to the point.

The performance is wonderful, but I have always adored this actor's voice. If I am not mistaken, Joseph Schildkraut (1896-1964) made this recording in the fifties, so be advised this is an old-school studio performance. It plays well on very good speakers but can hardly be heard on average ones.

Times and tastes have changed, but listening reminded me that one is never too old for a fairy tale, and left me nostalgic for long-lost voices, simpler times, and marzipan cake. May you and your little ones enjoy them, too.

Fairy Tale

vocals interesting, music though was different touch to telling story but thought it was too loud and overpowered the narrator.

Disappointing

advertised as audiobook version of a complete, unabridged collection, actually just 26m of mostly lesser known tales

Title: Mystery Writers of America Presents

Subtitle: Death Do Us Part

Author: Lee Child, Jim Fusilli, Harlan Coben, R. L. Stine

Narrator: Alan Sklar, Karen White, John Lee

Format: Unabridged

Length: 10 hrs and 50 mins

Language: English

Release date: 09-24-08

Publisher: Tantor Audio

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 68 votes

Genres: Fiction, Short Stories & Anthologies

Publisher's Summary:

In Lee Child's "Safe Enough", a blue-collar city boy takes up with a wealthy suburban wife, with dire consequences. In Harlan Coben's "Entrapped", a woman's husband disappears and is replaced by a handsome impostor. In Laura Lippman's "One True Love", a high-end prostitute seeks a radical solution to a public relations problem. Finally, in P. J. Parrish's "One Shot", a man returns to his childhood home to learn the truth about a long-ago tragedy.

Other contributors of original stories include Ridley Pearson, R. L. Stine, Jim Fusilli, Jeff Abbott, Charles Todd, and Tom Savage.

Editorial Reviews:

Eighteen fine mystery writers contribute to a collection of "love-and-hate stories" that, as editor Harlan Coben warns in the introduction, end badly for somebody. The narrators do a superb job, whether it's getting into the persona of a federal agent in "The Home Front" or a hysterical wife in Coben's "Entrapped" or setting the scene in "The Last Flight" or re-creating a tense father-son situation in "A Few Small Repairs." "Part Light, Part Memory," told by the daughter of a man lynched in 1865, will stick with listeners, as will the rat-a-tat-tat delivery of "Cyberdate.com."

Mystery Writers of America To Death us do part

I was very disappointed in the stories and the coloration of Harlen Coben with the other writers. I have read other works of Harlen Coben and enjoyed his work. I will be deleting both parts 1 and 2 from my Ipod Library and Ipod.

I will wait for my credit to add up again.

Very entertaining!

Enjoyed the variety. Most of the stories were very good. Of course I had some favorites. I'm glad I found this book and really liked the readers.

Great Listen

Great stories that kept my attention. Good narrators for all the stories. I recommend this book!

A LOT OF NICE SHORT STORY'S

These short stories are right up your alley, if you like murder, mayhem and mishap with hubby, wife and or friend. I don't have a favorite, but there wasn't any I didn't dislike, except maybe one that ended to abruptly.

Several excellent short stories

Any additional comments?

I usually expect a book of short stories to have a few excellent stories which I thoroughly enjoy and all the others in which I have no interest at all. This one was no exception. Five of the twenty stories were fascinating and the other fifteen held my attention for about three minutes each and I did not listen further. My short fuse for a good story might be unusual, but I have learned from long experience that, for me, if I'm not all in by the end of the first page, I am not going to be in at all. That does not bother me. The five excellent stories were worth the price of the book and I am well satisfied and entertained.

Geared for different ages

I liked all the stories very much. My only problem was that some of the stories seemed geared for young children, while others seemed for adults.

Editorial Reviews:

Although best known as a children's story, The Lady or the Tiger will please listeners of any age. Walter Zimmerman narrates this lyric contemplation of justice and human fate. The plot centers around an accused man's trial: He must choose between two closed doors, one of which will reveal a hungry tiger, and the other, a beautiful women. Which door will he choose, and what will be the outcome of his sentence? Zimmerman's kind voice and precise narration give this fairy tale a sense magic and a depth notwithstanding its 18-minute length.

Critic Reviews:

"An acknowledged classic....deliciously and perennially provoking." (The Masterpiece Library of Short Stories)

Why Pay for This?

This is a great short story, however, I am a little bummmed out to discover that the short story is freely available PDF online. It is about a 30 min. read, which is not worth the $6.00 that I paid. Not recommmend in this format.

A very short story, but thoroughly enjoyable.

What a fun read. I read this with my son, only to notice my other son listening too. We had a great discussion afterwards.

OMG!!!

My teen daughter insisted I read this book. I said, "OK, Why not?" I really did not expect such a short read to be so darn intense, but believe me, I almost blew a gastric. I am so glad that this was short, I could not have stood another page of suspense, and I am not satisfied with the ending. But what a great read this was. I recommend this to all who can stand this kind of suspense.

Excellent read!

I was recommended this story and I loved the suspense of the two doors. This should be a staple for every writer who wants to get a feel for building suspense.

A wonderful story

This is one of those 15-20 minute short reads that can lead to hours of conversation. Years after first discussing it with some friends, we still return to analysis it.
