Touchstone Audiobook

" Liked it, although it was kind of slow-going. Really enjoyed the characters. "

" couldn't get in to it - so didn't finish it "

" This book was an interesting historical fiction mystery. It is based in the political turmoil following WWI and both British and US politics take a role in the drama. "

" A good read...King is comfortable with the WWI era and has created believable characters with a bit of mysticism added that is well done. Although I like the Holmes/Russell series, this is a nice change. "

" Great read, as all of Laurie King's books are. Gives the reader glimpses of England and America during the turmoil of the 1920s. "

" Excellent thorough read that is one part detective story, one part history, one part romance. Like all of Laurie King's books it is not a quick read, but one of the more satisfying ones. I look forward to her continuing with these characters in the future. "

" enjoyable but not as good as her Mary Russell series. "

" I read the ARC and gave the H/C I'd purchased away as a gift. "

" A god read/listen. Interesting, the way the author develops the characters. I had part of it figured out early on. but was left wondering about another character until the end. It was a good listen, but not my favorite. Still, very good. "

" I love everything Laurie R. King writes. So really, I can't objectively or impartially review. I'm a fan. "

" I love Laurie King's books. This book is a stand alone, which takes place in the mid 1920's. The character's are strong and well developed. It has to do with terrorism, and labor Union strikes, Baldwin, and an ancient family and estate. It did keep me on the edge of my seat! "

" I adore this writer. This was an interesting historical thriller. "

" Complex story with many plots and subplots. The characters were interesting (as hers usually are) and the main idea around "touchstone" was thought-provoking. But at times that idea got lost in the search for a bomber. I did like this, but it was not one of my favorites of hers. "

" It dragged a bit at times and the motives of the evil Carstairs were a bit muddy, but otherwise a food mystery. "

" Slow-going but well worth sticking with it. "

" I love how the sherlockish abilities were explained as almost autism-like brain damage. Great story and interesting history but I wish it could have had a happier ending. "

" Maybe her best book yet. "

" Very consistent characters and a very good story. It was memorable and a keeper. "

" I generally like Laurie R. King's books but found this one very slow moving. I kept thinking that something was going to happen, and not much did. I felt the time I spent reading this was a waster of time. "

" I really like Laurie King on the whole, but this is not the best example of what makes her fun to read, in my opinion. The exploration of shell-shock was interesting, but otherwise the whole thing came off a little conventional. "

" I found this book to be very absorbing. It kept me on my toes until the very end without any excess of graphic or unnecessary drama. Highly recommended. "

" Very dark mystery of a tourchered individual and darker government forces. For the conspiratorial at heart. "

" I liked this book but the politics didn't really interest me, so I was bored through some of it. "

" Brainy whodunit - just my type! "

" My least favorite of Laurie King's books so far. Sometimes it reads like a romance novel, in that it was fairly predictable. "

" Very consistent characters and a very good story. It was memorable and a keeper. "

" An intriguing book following an FBI agent in post-WWI Britain. Although it's not as tightly written as it could be, it still is a fascinating look at leftist movements during this time period. Luckily, the main plot is also as interesting. "

" I just can't really get into this, not like the other King books I have read. The language of several of the characters is pretty bad and hard to overlook when it is in all caps. Not quite ready to return it, maybe I'll come back but so far, just not loving it. "

" I love Laurie King's books. This book is a stand alone, which takes place in the mid 1920's. The character's are strong and well developed. It has to do with terrorism, and labor Union strikes, Baldwin, and an ancient family and estate. It did keep me on the edge of my seat! "

" Not my favorite of hers, but a good psychological exercise. I recommend it as a palate-cleanser between Mary Russell and Kate Martinelli. "

" Complex story with many plots and subplots. The characters were interesting (as hers usually are) and the main idea around "touchstone" was thought-provoking. But at times that idea got lost in the search for a bomber. I did like this, but it was not one of my favorites of hers. "

" Interesting story about an almost supernatural ability found in a man after a near-death-experience in the war. Good plot twist, etc. This is the only book I've read by Laurie R. King, but I really enjoyed her characters! Definitely recommend. "

" I loved this book!! Another amazing read, and very thorough, too! The main characters were compelling and I am going to miss them, now that I am done... :( "
