Download The Scold's Bridle Audiobook (Unabridged)

" Walters can be very strange, but creepy good at the same time. "

" I picked this book up at a thrift store for 10 cents, its definitely worth the read, or the 10 cents anyways. It is written by a Brittish author, which makes it interesting as far as terminology used and the dialog. The story leaves you guessing "who done it" with a few twist and turns. The use of the Scolds Bridle in a crime with a dark history was neat in a crime mystery novel. This novel did make me a little interested in checking out something else by Minette Walters. "

" I read this on a study abroad in Austria...it was one of the only books in the library where I was at (in english) and I found it to be a great mystery...loooking back on it, it might not have been that great, but at the time it served its purpose. "

" Solution to the murder is a bit difficult to believe, but the story is engrossing. "

" I definitely liked this one better than the others. There were still a few things that didn't make sense, though, but not in an annoying way as in some of the others. I think I'm going to take a break from her before I move on to any more of her books. "

" Bizarre concept with the scold's bridle, never heard of one before but that is one crazy torture device! Great read! "

" Tjaaa krimi er stadig ikke favorit, men den var helt ok. "

" A classic whodunnit. One where you are left reassessing your judgements of each character now and again. Powerfully etched characters. Memorable last line: "Does she deserve to have people think well of her?"........."She deserves a little pity Sarah. In the end, that's all any of us deserve." "

" This was one of the most unusual and interesting plots of any mystery I've ever read. The opening of the book made you want to just keep reading and reading, couldn't wait to figure this one out! Great book... "

" I love this author's writing -- like a bracing bath in ice cold water to wake up one's finer instincts. The characters have so much depth and humanity -- though not necessarily heart-warming humanity. And the dialogue near the end does far from disappointing or forming a denouement. "

" Walters is becoming a bit strident to me. I appreciate her obvious personal interest in sexual crimes against women, but as a reader of most everything she writes, the topic is wearing a bit thin. "

" A really bizarre mystery. I still haven't decided whether I really liked it or not. "

" This is the first Walters book I read. I picked it up based on an "employee pick" shelf tag at my favorite independent bookstore! "

" Very good read. Very well thought out and told. Can imagine the depth of feeling for the main characters. Another book that I had trouble putting down from Minette Walters. "

" Minette Walters does not disappoint. In this book, Dr. Sarah Blakeney and her husband Jack, along with the Detective Sergeant Cooper,are even more interesting than the story itself. The allusions to Shakespeare make me want to dust off some of the plays. "

" Addicting brit murder mystery, female main character. "

" It kept me guessing until the end, I thought it was the wrong person. It's an Irish book. "

" Best Crime Novel of the Year 1994 what more can i say "

" Bizarre, twisted, multiple suspects - wonderful British murder mystery! "

" Good mystery, but I loathed pretty much everyone in this novel, even the 'nice' characters are total twits. "

" I liked her first two books, but with this one, there was a sadistic undercurrent that has put me off them. "

" Great British mystery "

" Walters is becoming a bit strident to me. I appreciate her obvious personal interest in sexual crimes against women, but as a reader of most everything she writes, the topic is wearing a bit thin. "

" Very silly. Convoluted ... totally unbelievable twaddle.

I have been told that her other books are better but this was my first read of hers and definitely my last. "

" Grande policial! ( A Máscara de Desonra ) "

" I liked her first two books, but with this one, there was a sadistic undercurrent that has put me off them. "

" Minette Walters is always a good read. This mystery is particularly convoluted and twisted with psychological overtones - just to keep you completely in the dark till the very last chapter. "

" Addicting brit murder mystery, female main character. "

" Another decent read by Minette Walters but I'm starting to wonder why she finds these little English hamlets so nefarious. "

" Bizarre, twisted, multiple suspects - wonderful British murder mystery! "

" This was the first Minette Walters book I read and I was hooked immediately!
