Story4.5 out of 5 stars 452
Why did Agatha Christie spend her career pretending that she was "just" an ordinary housewife, when clearly she wasn't? Lucy Worsley's biography is not just of a massively, internationally successful writer. It's also the story of a person who, despite the obstacles of class and gender, became an astonishingly successful working woman. With access to rarely seen personal letters and papers, Lucy Worsley's biography is both authoritative and entertaining and makes us realize what an extraordinary pioneer Agatha Christie was—truly a woman who wrote the twentieth century.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 19,476
Austen wrote, 'I am going to take a heroine whom no-one but myself will much like' and thus introduces the handsome, clever, rich - and flawed, Emma Woodhouse. Emma is perfectly content with her life and sees no need for either love or marriage; nothing however delights her more than matchmaking her fellow residents of Highbury. But when she ignores the warnings of her good friend Mr. Knightley and attempts to arrange a suitable match for her protegee Harriet Smith, her carefully laid plans soon unravel and have consequences that she never expected.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 3,234
When ballet dancer Clara Campbell arrives in New Orleans, lonely and homesick, she is immediately captivated by the story of Windisle Plantation and the tragic tale that is said to have transpired beyond its gate. Legend has it that it is abandoned by all living souls, but to Clara’s great surprise, it is not a ghost she hears through the stone wall surrounding the property, but a flesh and blood man: a scarred stranger with a pain deeper and darker than the churning waters of the Mississippi river that flows beside his self-imposed prison.

I had dental work done and desperately needed a book to listen to that wasn’t dark and angsty, but hopeful and loving. Well, here it is.

Pure English mystery gorgeously narrated. Every word might be part of the mystery (mysteries) or a clue. I was enthralled.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 321
For high-school senior Celeste Watkins, every day is a brutal test of bravery. And Celeste is scared. Alienated because she's too smart, her speech too affected, her social skills too far outside the norm, she seems to have no choice but to retreat into isolation. But college could set her free, right? If she can make it through this grueling senior year, then maybe. If she can just find that one person to throw her a lifeline, then maybe, just maybe.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 76
What if the life you wanted, and the woman you fell in love with, belonged to someone else? Chris and Claire Canton's marriage is on life support. Downsized during the recession and out of work for a year, Chris copes by retreating to a dark place where no one can reach him, not even Claire. When he's offered a position that will keep him away from home four nights a week, he dismisses Claire's concern that time apart could be the one thing their fragile union can't weather. Their suburban life may look idyllic on the outside, but Claire has never felt so disconnected from Chris, or so lonely.

Where does Covet rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Covet ranks high on my audiobook list. A quiet and compelling immersion into a marriage.
What did you like best about this story?
How it was quietly shown that everyone is dealing with their own personal challenges.
What about Kathleen McInerney and Scott Aiello ’s performance did you like?
The performances added depth to the story.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I wanted to take my time and savor Covet. There were just too many emotions going on for it to be a fast read. It has been 3 days since I finished it and it is still pulling me back to the story.
Any additional comments?
I will be relistening to this audio.
