Zusammenfassung des Herausgebers:

Das unglückselige Zusammentreffen mit einem Holzlaster in Laos' Hauptstadt Vientiane hat einen blinden Zahnarzt zu Dr. Siri geführt. Der Leichenbeschauer staunt nicht nur über die seltene Todesursache - in Laos sind Autos rar, und zwei Fahrzeuge auf einer Straße gelten bereits als Verkehrschaos -, sondern auch über einen eigenartigen Fund: Der Tote hat einen Brief bei sich, der eine mit unsichtbarer Tinte geschriebene, verschlüsselte Botschaft enthält. Dr. Siri geht der Sache nach und kommt einem brisanten Geheimnis auf die Spur. Bei seinen Ermittlungen konsultiert er den Kartenleger und Transvestiten Tante Bpoo, sieht Bruce Lee beim Sieg über den Kapitalismus zu, schwimmt mit einem Delphin und verliert sein Herz an eine bezaubernde Frau...

This is the most interesting thing about this book

The title is intriguing but the content is so disappointing. There are two part-stories running through the book and the detective part is alright, but the demise of a marriage that runs parallel to it leaves one disinterested totally, in fact I didn't care what happened to them. It was poor pseudo-psychology at its most trite. The only reason I finished it was I am stuborn and refused to give up; and I did want to know about the detective story ending. It could have been halved in length but I dont thing that what would be left would be interesting enough to bother with. Find something better to do with your time.

Not my best read!

I was expecting something more from this story. It crept along and, in parts,kept me interested... but what an uneventful ending, and I couldn't help thinking that I'd wasted twenty hours of my life listening to it! Admittedly I had just finished the third part of Stieg Larsson's trilogy, so a difficult act to follow!

Members Reviews:

Too many close calls

Any additional comments?

I am a fan of the Davenport series. I started reading and listening late in the series and decided to start at the beginning and haven't been dissapointed. Although I enjoyed this book, I did not like as much as the others. It seemed to sacrifice a solid story line for constant action, near misses and close calls. I was ready for it to be over about 2 plot twists before the end. I thought the antagonists were inconsistent in their behaviors, and there were some unanswered questions at the end that I can't go into detail about here without spoilers. Maybe they will be resolved in the next book, or maybe they were just loose ends.

There are some seriously pivotal moments regarding his personal relationships that will probably play out in the next book, so I am guessing that if you skip this one, you will have some missing backfill in the next one, but I have not read that one yet so I am not sure.

Another winner

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes I would. It's part of a series that I am enjoying very much.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Yes. Not knowing where the next cop would be attacked, or where, made every moment intense.

What does Richard Ferrone bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?

His changing vocal inflection for the different characters is so subtle, yet, distinct, you start to recognize the characters by their conversation.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No. I listen to audiobooks when I go to bed. Depending on how tired I am dictates how many nights it takes to complete a book.

Any additional comments?

I am really enjoying this series.

One of John Sandford's very best!

I love John Sandford's Prey series and have read most of them. I have read Sudden Prey before, but reading it again made me realize how intense and intricate some of the early books were. The amount of bureaucracy in the later books diminish the intensity and momentum I felt in this book.

It's What Sanford Does

You enjoy Lucas Davenport? You'll enjoy Sudden Prey. The plot's thinner than writing paper, but Sanford knows how to manipulate the tools of the genre to make this thing work. Work? Well yeah, if you, like me, enjoy retreating into a thriller/adventure novel instead of drinking. Besides, it's un-cool to drink in the car, mowing the lawn, or on the treadmill... All places where I turn my mind dow a bunch of notches. I was lucky enough to listen to three hours of "Sudden Prey" in the dentist's chair last week.

And just using lucky and dentist in the same sentence is a pretty good compliment, huh.

As always, Richard Ferrone's reading keeps every character distinct and, a lot more importantly, inventive components to the story arc. I really line the way Ferrone has characters say, "huh".

Title: The Dark Vineyard

Subtitle: A Mystery of the French Countryside

Author: Martin Walker

Narrator: Robert Ian Mackenzie

Format: Unabridged

Length: 10 hrs and 2 mins

Language: English

Release date: 04-05-11

Publisher: Recorded Books

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 396 votes

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Modern Detective

Publisher's Summary:

A prolific journalist, Martin Walker has crafted a mystery series that deftly blends the stylings of Peter Mayle and Alexander McCall Smith. Chief Bruno Courreges loves life in his small French village. One day his idyll is disturbed when a local research station for genetically modified crops is burned down. An enclave of environmentalists seems to be the most likely culprit, but soon Bruno uncovers evidence that makes the case infinitely more complicated.

Members Reviews:

Another winner....

Loved "Bruno" and couldn't wait for this follow-up. Does not disappoint. Highly believable plot line and engaging characters you care about. Mackenzie's delivery is beautifully paced and very well suited to the overall mood of the work. In short, top notch!

Three Pines ... but in France.

I discovered this series because of another Audible reviewer. (Thanks, Kathi!) It's certainly not a hardcore police procedural. Rather it has the feel of Louise Penny's Chief Inspector Gamache/Three Pines series. The characters are quirky. The town is small. While it's not quite on the same level as Penny's Three Pines series, it's very, very good - provided you're not expecting the grit and depth of Jo Nesb or Adrian McKinty.

Food and wine play a big part in things. For some, it might be a distraction but I actually like hearing about making wine and what's on the menu for the evening. I like the French history that's thrown in and details about life in the countryside. It's all been interesting.

Just barely a murder mystery

This book is more about food and wine than murder and mayhem. Nonetheless, I enjoyed it thoroughly. It's refreshing to find a hero that's "gooder than good." And it's enjoyable to get to know the various characters in the village. A bit of love story, a bit of politics, quite a bit of food and wine, all wrapped around a mysterious fire and (maybe) a murder. Fun stuff!

Slow and easy to listen to

Narrator was perfect for this story. This isn't a fast paced, heart pounding story, but it was enjoyable and kept my attention. I must say I'm now hooked on the Bruno series. The stories, a hot cup of tea or a glass of wine and I'm good to go.

A visit to France

I thoroughly enjoy this series. I note that some complain that the books are slow. Well. Yes. Not a constant edge-of-your-seat thrill. Tension builds in fits and starts.In the meantime, you spend time learning how rural French folks acquire truffles, cook from their gardens, appreciate wines, and keep their small town alive. Yes, there is a murder. The police chief is on the case despite interference from incompetents and danger from the criminals intent on thwarting him by whatever means they can. But mostly, I enjoy the sojourn in a part of France I don't know. The easiest kind of travel.
