The War of the Worlds Murder Audiobook

" Probably the least gripping of all of Collins' historical murder series. Try The Titanic Murders or The Hindenburg Murders for a better thought-out intertwining of history and fiction. "

" Cop-out ending, but reading the other parts that took place during the radio show was fun. "

" An enjoyable book, even more so if you are a fan of Orson Welles, The Shadow, and The War of the Worlds. I would have given it four stars if (and I am not giving away any spoilers) the plot was not such a let down. I have to admit that I ended the book feeling disappointed. "

" I used to love mysteries. This novel helped me remember why. It was a quick read that drew me in. Mixing in history was a plus. "

" Once again reading a book in this "disaster" series made me want to read or in this case listen to something by the author/detective featured in the book. I'd love to listen to a Shadow radio show, especially one with Orson Welles as the Shadow. "

" From the Prologue to the very end, you keep wondering. You are right there with the writer seeing it all happen. Collin's research makes this book so real that you have to remind yourself it's just fiction. Great writing and great research. A great read. "

" The stuff about the War of the Worlds broadcast was fun, the "mystery", not so much. "

" 3.5 stars, actually. The historical information was very interesting, but the mystery/crime aspect itself left something to be desired. "

" Wonderful. A bit hero-worshippy dry in the first chapter, but stick with it. "

" While the mystery itself is not as cryptic as some, the whole characterization of Orson Welles is well done, and I found this to be a fun read, and it kept my attention. "
