I would endorse what Magicwand has to say about listening to these books on Audible.
TTMC, is not my normal genre (I like historial detective series), but bought this because I do like and admire the author.
I was spellbound with listening to this book. Indeed, when it finished, i immediately started it again -the reading of this, as for so many audible books, really brings the characters alive. I am now nearly finished my listening to The Man that Died Twice and have advanced ordered the third book in this series. I feel comfortable with these characters, really getting to know them and love these books. Such comfortable and funny tales for me. I only treat myself to the luxury of listening in when I am in bed, if I have time to read in the daytime, I do so with books from my history reading group.
Do not understand those who gave such bad reviews to the first book, but then we are all different.
