Another great Peter Diamond mystery

It' a book full of twists and turns that makes for an enjoyable read. The performer has a voice that captures the characters so well that listening to this mystery was more enjoyable than actually reading the story.

Excellent story and narration

My heart. I love Peter Diamond’s character so much. This book in particular was going to need an excellent narrator. Steve Hodson doesn’t disappoint. He has such an incredible range. He brought all of these characters to life and all of the emotion without overdoing it. A very skilled reading of a beautifully written book.

Subpar for a Diamond novel

A lot of unnecessary filler and very over the top narration. Where is Simon Prebble?

Great story - a shocker

This was a wonderful story - even though the loss of Stephanie will be felt very deeply. I couldn’t believe it when I first read that the body Diamond discovers is his wife, but it was the beginning of an excellent, twisty story. I missed Simon Prebble’s voice, and marked it down a little because I didn’t like Hodson’s narration. However, he does a pretty good job after all - great regional accents and distinct voices. I just didn’t like his voice very much.

Always A Fan Of Peter Lovesey

Would you listen to Diamond Dust again? Why?

I move on. So many books, so little time.

If you’ve listened to books by Peter Lovesey before, how does this one compare?

Excellent. They keep my attention and the character is so smart but so exasperating. Our hero has many foibles, but you are rooting for him all along. I think those of us who worked for politically motivated sorts, can commiserate with our hero. I have loved all Mr. Lovesy's books.

Have you listened to any of Steve Hodson’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Don't really know. I chose books based on the author and subject matter. I really don't recall bad narrators. They are professionals and do audition.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Never. I have a real life.

Any additional comments?

Looking forward to all of the other Lovesy books in my wish list. The narrator is good, so, Nothing but anticipation here.

Good story

It was a good story and kept me guessing until the end, but it seemed to go too slowly. Still, a good Peter Diamond story!!

Couldn’t stop listening

I’ve so enjoyed the first seven books in this series. Struggle with the frequent change in narrators though. But in spite of it they have all done an excellent job although I struggled with Michael Healy the most but got used to him after 3 books :). This one was so good, kept me guessing. Love the characters but will miss Stephanie. Ready to see where Diamond takes us next.

No Shakespeare here please

Any additional comments?

This is an important part of the Diamond series as it goes through a turbulent period of the detective's life. Unfortunately it is not read by the narrator who does the bulk of the later books (Simon Prebble) who does an excellent job with character voices and especially the West Country accents (to my USA ears). I have heard Steve Hodson before and he has done some creditable work in other readings but his obvious Shakespearean trained voice does not do him any credit in this reading, and I found that it was grating to listen to.

The story has a number of twists and turns and misdirections, which may or may not fool the readers. In particular, the last several chapters attempts to misdirect the readers in a rather blatant fashion and drags the book out way more than necessary. Otherwise it is a very good read.

*possible spoiler alert*
Just skip ahead to the confrontation scene when you figure out what's going on.

Well paced and easy to follow. Good audible book

Not full of huge surprises, but an entertaining read and good narration. I would look at another book by this author/narrator combination.

Peter’s Diamond Dust

A good enjoyable story that suffered a couple of tedious sub plots. Overall I liked it.
