Murder on Nob Hill Audiobook

" Maybe I'm not being fair to this one... listened to in the car and it just wasn't keeping my interest, my mind kept wandering. It was an okay read, but nothing spectacular. Ended up dealing with a scandalous sex club so I can't even recommend it to the little old ladies. "

" Mediocre (what a marvelous word!) book. The author was banging on social issues that were -true- critical in the 1880s, but with a very 21st century voice and mode of expression. I came away feeling like someone needs to show the author that a woman can be strong without disliking men or marriage. "

" Great, heartwarming story of courage with a mystery as well. Sarah Woolson is an aspiring lawyer who is tough, courageous, and extremely intelligient. Author Shirley Tallman is a great writer and storyteller. I highly recommend this book. "

" I have read all of Shirley Tallman's books and have enjoyed all of them. "

" This was a quick, easy read. The first in a series of books featuring a female attorney struggling for the right to practice law among misogynistic male attorneys. This was an enjoyable read, but the characters felt a little flat to me. The ebook I read was poorly formatted, so that may have influenced me. An enjoyable historical mystery but I'm not sure if I will continue the remaining books. "

" This was a cute book. A fun little mystery, easy read. Looking forward to reading more in the series. "

" Interesting plot and setting, but poor writing and flat, unrealistic characters. The murderer was also obvious. "

" Liked it at first, then I got bored with it. I will try #2! "

" Nothing like a good murder mystery with an historical setting when you want to escape. Tallman tells a good story without offensive language or too graphic detail. I wonder if there were families in Victorian San Francisco who had such liberated women. I hope so. "

" Loved it. A very good mystery. I love the main character! "

" I thought the way the victims were murdered was written just for shock value. Still, it was entertaining enough for me to want to read the next in the series. "

" This mystery is set in the late 1800s in San Francisco and features Sarah Woolson, an attorney. She doggedly pursues a murderer along with another attorney, Robert Campbell,who infuriates her. The play between Sarah and Robert creates an interesting subplot and the mystery is solved satisfactorily. "

" I enjoyed reading "Murder on Nob Hill". The main character Sarah is a lawyer in 1880 San Francisco. I like her fellow lawyer Mr. Campbell. "

" I must say that I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Written in the style of author Victoria Thompson, the book was well written and had a good storyline with a strong heroine. I will seek out more books from this author. "

" I thought this was an entertaining and light read. The main character reminds me a little bit of Amelia Peabody, but I do like her. I'm looking forward to reading the others in this series. "

" I have no idea where I got the recommendation. This entertaining mystery is set in San Francisco in 1880. The main character is a feisty, young woman with a law degree and determination galore. "

" I would give this 3 1/2 if I could. I really enjoyed the book but was a little disatisfied with the ending. Overall though a good mystery. "

" After starting the Mary Russell/Sherlock Holmes books, I liked the idea of female detectives/lawyers when that was not common. Somehow stumbled onto these. They are definitely entertaining... "

" It's kind of fun reading reading about a woman who fancies herself with her own independent identity in 1880 .... "
