The Tightrope Walker Audiobook

" Great adventure. I liked the idea of owing an antique shop and the mystery of the Hurdy Gurdy was great. "

" Good, light read. Kept my interest but not as good as the Mrs. Pollifax series. "

" I did really enjoy this novel. Good, solid characters. Good story. But I just couldn't give it 5 starts because I looked at some of the other books I gave 5 stars to and couldn't say that this one was as good as those. Plus, I know what Dorothy Gilman is capable of. Her Mrs. Polifax character is absolutley superb! "

" I really enjoyed this novel. When juxtaposed against Uncertain Voyage, this heroine- although it is still in some ways a bildungsroman- is much less obnoxious than Melissa is. She is not really obnoxious at all. So, woot! The guy is quite amusing too. I must say... good book! "

" This book was better than my inability to stay awake while reading it. Predictable but a cute read. "

" Good mystery, with a little love story, too. I'm liking Dorothy Gilman a lot. "

" I always enjoy Dorothy Gilman's books - like the ways her characters grow. "

" Dorothy Gilman is a treasure. All of her Mrs. Polifax novels were a joy to read. This is the first I have read of her non-Polifax novels and plan to read all of them. "

" Fun mystery...but not as good as Mrs. Pollifax! "

" Dorothy Gilman is one of my favorite authors. Her main books are the Mrs. Pollifax series, which are all excellent, but I really liked The Tightrope Walker. It is a mystery, adventure, and romance all tied in together, which is typical of her books. She throws some humor in too - an added bonus. "

" I read this as a teenager and fell in love with the book. I have not read it in years so I'm not sure what my impression of the book would be as an adult. "

" I love the Mrs. Pollifax books - what fun. But her non-Pollifax books are real jems. "

" Love Gilman. Love her. Not Mrs. Pollifax, but a great story of a young woman coming into her strength. "

" I like all of Ms Gilman's books that I have read. This one is another annual reread. "

" Incredible shallow characters, very weak storyline. I'm surprised that this is written by Dorothy Gilman, because I really liked her Mrs. Pollifax series. "

" Perfectly old-fashioned and charming. "

" Overall, and enjoyable read. I liked the main character, and I liked the central mystery. It's a little dated but then, it was written in 1979. It was actually fun contrasting how you'd investigate a mystery like this today. The internet really has changed everything! "

" Intriguing quick read. "

" I picked this up thinking it was a Pollifax novel. After I got over my initial disappointment I rather enjoyed it. The plot deals with uncovering a family secret involving the murder of a writer. The mystery is easily solved before the end but it was still an entertaining diversion. "
