Members Reviews:

A Disappointment

What disappointed you about The Red Rosary?

Having waited for a considerable time to see Wintle's excellent stories come to audio, I picked up several at once.

Unfortunately, the reader's style and emphasis is grating, and rather ruins the experience.

What did you like best about this story?

The story, itself.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

An unpleasant delivery which distracts from the content.

She deserves better one would think

Critic Reviews:

"...en yderst fngslende og underholdende roman, der er mere kompleks og mere ambitis end nogen af de tre foregende. Dens fremragende hovedpassager - besget p Sotherton, hele teaterepisoden og kapitlerne, der foregr i Portsmouth - viser en beherskelse af interaktionerne mellem et stort persongalleri og en kompleks rkke af begivenheder, som kun f forfattere har kunnet matche." (Claire Tomalin, Jane Austen: A Life)

"Det er uden tvivl hendes mest sexede.... Lidenskab, erotik, fare og forbudt krlighed lurer under overfladen i Mansfield Park." (Paula Byrne, The Telegraph)

"Fuld af dissonante energier sskendestrid, grdighed, ambition, forbudt seksuel lidenskab og forfngelighed." (Margaret Drabble)

Members Reviews:

Good Morning Irene from Amazon

This story was my introduction to Sherlock Holmes. It was a short story that was published in a newspaper and one of the few times Holmes is outwitted, this time by a woman. What sparked my interest was book discovered in a local bookstore titled Chapel Noir: An Irene Adler Mystery by Carole Nelson Douglas, the fourth book in the series. It's the continuation of Irene Adler after Scandal in Bohemia. I already ordered the first book, Good Morning Irene from Amazon. It will be a summer read. As to Mr. Holmes! I plan to read more and join the only Holmes Society on the West Coast in my neck of the Gold Country.

Fast Read

After watching the series Sherlock from BBC I decided I was going to go back and read the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle books. The Sherlock episode was entitled A Scandal in Belgravia versus Bohemia. They were very faithful to the book despite it being modernized. I read this book in under 2 hours it was that good. I will read his others as I have the time. I would recommend this book for an insight into Sherlock himself.

a good read

I had seen the TV version which was very interesting with a confusing plot.so I wanted the book version to read. And it was not disappointing but I am a Sherlock Holmes nut.

Conan Doyle never disappoints

This brief classic tale has become iconic. It is much quoted in spin off stories written by others. Indeed, Irene Adler is a clever woman!

Three Stars
