The Blood Doctor Audiobook (Unabridged)

" A very interesting and enjoyable book... totally different to Barbara Vine's/Ruth Rendells' usual works. She is a great storyteller, but sometimes lacks depth. This novel combined both elements really well. "

" There is something about this book that captivates my mind and heart. I can't put my finger on it. It happens very seldom that I want to read / listen to a book a 2nd time but this book is an exception. Guess, this review isn't all that helpful but I can warmly recommend this book. "

" The plot seemed interesting. But for me it was actually slow paced. I didnt finish. "

" Good, but not on my favorites list "

" really interesting , good read!! "

" The premise was good but it couldnt stand up to it's promise. I couldnt even finish the book. It was beyond boring and stayed so bogged down that I never reached a "good part". "

" Usual Barbara Vine stuff, delving into the past of individuals rather than the sweep of history. Not great literature, but easy to read, entertaining, doesn't require much effort on the part of the reader. "

" Too many names, too many dates - it reads like a history book and I can't stick with the story. Gave up on page 96. "

" I really though I was into the idea of a geneology mystery, but zzzzzzz. "

" I love mysteries that aren't centered around a murder, so I was really into this story. The "present day" story was a little less gripping than that of the blood doctor, but all in all, it was pretty decent. A good beach read (I, in fact, read it on a cruise!). "

" A compelling read, but not her best. More historical search than murder mystery. "

" Too many names for me... "

" An old favourite. Can't describe the scene that will give me the shivers without spoiling it but ...... *ShiVeR* "

" Loved the fact that the narrator is an hereditary peer during the passage through parliament of the House of Lords bill. In fact all that fascinating House of Lords trivia saved the novel for me, as the ending was a bit of an anticlimax. The author sure keeps you guessing though. "

" A really complex story, I read it several times before I really felt I had grasped everything in the plot. But - it withstood the re-reading and I thought the characters were great. "

" well-written though the "twist" was obvious early on "

" I'm excited that somebody is interested in reading this book. I think it is a great geaneology thriller. Although I'm not sure that that is a real genre. "

" English Lord, writer and husband researches his ancestor, a distinguished doctor in the time of Queen Victoria who studied haemophilia. Good book, but quite lengthy. "

" As a big Ruth Rendell/Barbara Vine fan, I finally put this down. After slogging through the first 100 pages (which took 3 days, not normal), I just decided to give up. Maybe I'll try again in the future based on other reviews, who knows? "
