Silver Lies Audiobook

" I was really bored while reading this. I think the idea has potential, but it wasn't a very exciting read for me. "

" The first in what became a winning series, SILVER LIES, introduces the reader to a wondrous setting, an unusual, even for the west, cast of characters and the writing talents of Ann Parker.It's an enticing read. "

" Interesting subject, I couls see a young Clint Eastwood as the reverand. "

" I found the setting and plot of this story to be quite good. The manner in which the historical backdrop of Leadville's silver boom plays into the story is one of the main sustaining elements in the book. Unfortunately, I found the characters incredibly flat and their language to be like a very long episode of Bonanza. "

" Loved it.... I live it Colorado so it made the story even more special "

" great murder mystery set in the late 1800s...strong female heroine "

" An interesting story about Leadville CO during silver mining days. A mystery is woven into lots of great historical detail. I had a hard time identifying/sympathizing with the lead character--probably just me. A friend read this book and said it was the best one she'd read in a long time. "

" The first book in a wonderful series. I have enjoyed getting to know the strong female protagonist, and the glimpses of boomtown life in old Colorado. Highly recommended! "

" A good historical read about Colorado. "

" Wild times in the "Olden Days", 1880's. "

" A thoroughly enjoyable read. I thought it was well plotted and it kept me reading to the very end. "

" This book started out promising, then it was hard to keep reading before I was even half way through, before an ok ending. "

" I read this book for my mystery book club and loved it! It's a historical mystery, set in a Colorado mining town in 1880. I loved the strong central character--a female saloon keeper. She is one tough cookie! Lots of excitement and intrigue in the story. I recommend it. "

" Well-crafted historical mystery. Parker brings to life Leadville, CO, in 1879 during the silver rush. There's murder, madams, and mining swindles. Her next is in my TBR pile. "

" This book slowly ground to a halt about 30% of the way through. I quit reading at that point and don't intend to finish it. "

" This book was just not my cup of tea. I thought the characters flat and not very interesting. I finished it but wondered why I just didn't read something else. "

" not my kind of book -- would never have found this on my own -- and i LOVED it. character development was awesome, if a little forced at times. "

" The mystery plotting was alright, I really enjoyed all the historical details, but the characters fell a bit flat to me. "

" Another good historical novel set in Leadville, Colorado in the 1880's. "

" This is a very well-written historic mystery novel. It's also a western drama with romantic overtones. I would definitely recommend this book to other readers. "
