Death and the Maiden Audiobook

" Actually, between 3 and 4 stars. I love this series, but this one was a little disappointing. Not sure why, maybe too much about music and not enough about the actual mystery. Nice evocation of turn of the century Vienna and the evils soon to come. "

" This one is stronger on atmosphere and dark foreboding than on story, but it's nice to see Max and Amelia finally get together. Will they move to England before things get uglier? "

" Usual mystery evocative of early 20th century Vienna. I think fewer patries were eaten in this episode, which i kind of missed. "

" Liebermann and Rheinhart are music lovers and it shows in many of the chapters. I liked it because Max also finally has Amelia Lydgate as his fiancee. A perplexing problem. They solve the murder in a round about way. "

" I have all these books and each one gets better. So much history at the turn of the last century. A look at a completely different world. I'm sorry I hadn't known this before I visited Vienna. There was so much more to explore. I hope Max Lieberman keeps writing these for a very long time. "

" I like historical mysteries but really? They meet and work with Mahler and Freud is the psychologist's mentor? "

" Very good outline of the era - soryline itself only ok for me. "

" I love the Max Liebermann mysteries and a bad cold last week gave me the perfect excuse to spend an afternoon reading this one--what a pleasure to be whisked away to Vienna for the day! "

" A pretty good murder mystery with opera and Nazis as a back drop. "

" I have always enjoyed this series, and this selection did not disappoint. Vienna and Opera with plenty of psychology. "

" I love how freud had a cameo in this book... he gets in everywhere. I liked this book, i liked how it was written and the investigation is kept up with all the leads and intricasies. "

" Vienna, 1903, Karl Lueger is running for reelection, the Emperor isn't happy, Freud's thinking about Oedipus, Mahler is getting nasty letters from someone in the orchestra, a piano piece is found to encode the story of a murder, and a neurotic soprano is found dead. "

" What a charmer this is! My only complaint is that all the (real) musical references slow me down by virtually forcing me to either put on a CD, do my worst at the piano, or, at a minimum, hum a Schubert Lied while reading. I need to go back and pick up numbers 2--5 in this series. "

" Such fun! This series fulfilled my nostalgia for Vienna, and provided an engaging mystery along the way. (For me, I'd the joy of this series isn't so much the mystery, as it is its historical texture. "

" another good excursion thru 1903 Vienna. not enough pastries. "
