The House in Amalfi Audiobook

" The book was a bit melodramatic and formula-ic for my taste. But I really enjoyed being transported back to places in Italy I have visited. Reliving the sights and smells and tastes was a treat. A good escapist read. "

" You'll feel like you're on the Italian Riviera while reading this book! "

" My favorite of the series "

" Capri. Positano. Amalfi. The title conjures up memories of the southern Italian Gold Coast. If you need an escape, this well-drawn setting helps. Everything else is as forced as the protagonist's cheesy name, Lamour. 20 years after her father's mysterious death, a recent widow returns to Italy to unravel what really happened. Why she waited this long remains an enigma. In the process, our thirtysomething heroine is torn between a rich twentysomething Italian and his fiftysomething father. Can you say ICK!?! There are too many things wrong with this shallow story to recommend it, no matter how much you miss the Amalfi coast. "

" I think so many times that audio books can either make or break my rating...I don't think I would have read this book with such a whiny tone, but since that is how I heard it... I have to only give it three stars... I bet if I would have read it myself, I would have given it a higher rating. "

" Yet another beach read. This time about Amalfi. What I like about Elizabeth Adler is how she includes the clavor of the country about which she is writing. It's a travelogue without pain. "

" NL's book crawl italy "

" As with all other Elizabeth Adler books, I read the descriptions slowly - they are wonderful and evocative and so picturesque. The people and relationships are boring and badly written - almost cringe-worthy! "

" In case you haven't noticed yet, I love her cozy mysteries/travel books. She really gives a sense of place and danger but nothing too scary or violent. I call her work Chick Flicks with an Edge. :) "

" A good beach read -- and rather like an update of old movie . . . a slim American widow seeking answers about her father's past, a lush coastal retreat on the Amalfi coast, two charming Italian men, a Secret, a violent storm, romance and redemption. "

" She is a fun read "

" Just a book. easy read. "

" needed something light for the winter blahs, and even tho the ending was too pat, Italian sea side was terrific "

" Bought it because it takes near my home in Naples. Not too great. I enjoyed bits and pieces because I could visualize the area she was talking about and appreciate some of the cultural things. "

" Not bad. Fun to read about Amalfi. "

" a pleasant journey to Italy. the storyline is a little thin, but it's a comfy, lazy read if you're in the right mood... "

" I just love Adler!!:) "

" I find Elizabeth Adler's books very entertaining "

" This book started off to be quite interesting, but, about two thirds of the way through, it became a run-of-the-mill love story. "

" loved it - especially since i have spent time on the Amalfi coast "

" I read the book because it was chosen by our book club. It is definitely more of a romance novel which is not my first choice in reads (and the reason for 2 stars). Adler is very descriptive in her writing and does a good job of taking you away to Italy. "

" I enjoy Eliabeth Adler's books set in Italy. There's romance, a little mystery, and beautiful settings. What's not to like? I listened to this one and also enjoy Carrington McDuff's (I think that's right) narration. "

" Good enough for the commute, although a little too much of a romance novel for my liking. "

" It should have said published by Harlequin. Sappy and predictable. "

" I read the book because it was chosen by our book club. It is definitely more of a romance novel which is not my first choice in reads (and the reason for 2 stars). Adler is very descriptive in her writing and does a good job of taking you away to Italy. "

" Story was so-so. This felt very much like a first book in the sense that it was unpolished. "

" loved it - especially since i have spent time on the Amalfi coast "

" She is a fun read "

" Love the romantic idea of moving to a foreign country. "

" As you can tell, I really enjoy these books! "

" It's been a long time since i read a novel like this. I really enjoyed it, no matter how hard life can be, truth can only alleviate that pain. 5 stars, coz i love romance combined with mystery :D "
