The Paper Caper

Bibliophile Mystery Series, Book 16

De: Kate Carlisle

Narrado por: Sara Young

Joseph Cabot is a very popular wealthy San Franciscan who owns the main newspaper in town, as well as radio stations and TV. Years ago, Brooklyn’s husband Derek and his security team rescued Joseph from an assassination attempt, and now the man and his wife are friendly with Derek and Brooklyn. The friendship is helped along by the fact that Joseph is a big book lover and contributes lavishly to the Covington Library. His favorite author is Mark Twain (another newspaperman), and he’s underwritten the first annual Mark Twain Festival at the Covington.

As part of the festival activities, Brooklyn will spend a few hours every day at the Library, giving demonstrations of her work, re-binding an old copy of The Prince and the Pauper. There will be events all week, all around town, celebrating the time Twain spent in the city. But the biggest event is being run by Joseph’s newspaper: a citywide contest based on The Prince and the Pauper - they want to find someone who looks like Joseph!

The two men will trade places for a week as part of a huge publicity campaign to raise money for the Covington Library. But the fun turns frantic when a murder occurs right before Brooklyn’s eyes! Now Brooklyn and Derek will have to chase clues all over their beloved city to solve the murder before another death becomes front-page news.

Horrid new narrator

I wish I had read the reviews before purchasing this book. The new narrator is horrible.

Sorry to hear about the loss of Susie Berneis

I loved listening to Susie narrate the Bibliophile Mystery series for many years. She brought many hours of listening pleasure to people who love the Kate Carlisle characters. I will miss hearing Suzie's expert accents and narrations very much.

Please please audition your narrator

I love this series but was extremely disappointed
with the narrator. Her British accent was horrible. I had a hard time getting into the book. Please go back to the previous narrator.

Well Worth the Wait

I cleared my decks, made sure I had a full day with no interruptions, and settled in to enjoy time with Brooklyn and Derek. I was a bit taken back when I realized the narrator was new - and I think she needs to work on voicing Derek - BUT even that could not dim the sheer magic of Kate Carlisle's writing skill. I fell into Brooklyn's and Derek's world and did not want to return.

In addition to some well known and beloved characters, not to mention the Covington Library, this book introduces a few I hope to see again. It also provided an entertaining storyline with just enough red herrings to keep me guessing. I thought I knew who the culprit was, but I wasn't sure until the very end. Let's just say there were plenty of clues and hints and surprises.

Now I wait longingly for the next opportunity to join Brooklyn and Derek, and may I say I hope we spend more time in Dharma on our next visit.

I enjoyed the story

While I enjoyed the story. I did not like the current narrator. I really really liked the original narrator because you could distinguish between the characters. Your stories are very entertaining but the narrator that you currently use just isn’t my cup of tea.

Third narrator of this series is worst one yet

Storyline not quite as enjoyable as previous ones in the series but that isn't the real problem. When I started this series of books I thoroughly enjoyed the story line. The first narrator did a fair job with the various characters. The second narrator that started around book 5 was horrible and I almost gave up on the series. However, because i enjoyed the author's work, I muddled through. Her voices were often laughable and many of the female characters sounded like blithering twits.

Now we have changed once again and have narrator #3. I thought nothing could be worse than the last narrator but I was wrong. This new narrator is worse than the last one and her attempt at male voices is atrocious. I cringed very time I heard her as the main male character.

As much as I've enjoyed this storyline, if this narrator is going to handle the next book due out later this year, I'm done. I'll just buy a kindle version and read it myself.

Narrator not for me

I want the previous narrator back this one didn't do the characters justice. The storyline was a bit chaotic and not the usual format. I had a hard time keeping the characters straight. I don't know if that was related to the narrator or not.

Get rid of this narrator!!!!

The story is just as good as usual— love the characters!!!

But the new narrator SUCKS! Please get rid of her & bring back the previous narrator. Please!

Wishing for the former narrator and more suspense

Where is Susie Berneis? The new narrator makes the main character seem younger, Ian sound stuffy and British, which doesn’t fit his back story at all. And don’t get me started on Derrick’s voice. The story was okay but uncharacteristically easy to figure out. If subsequent books are narrated by this actor I won’t be downloading them. This one was a disappointment.

Did not care for reader

I do enjoy the books but this reader I did not care for. Her British and Swedish accent were not good at all and Derrick sounds like a deep voiced female.
