Much of his charm for me is in the atmosphere he creates and the way I picture that. If you're listening a lot depends on the reader and my experience with audio books is mixed on that score. Like you I'm battling with space issues and have finally given into audio books (so I can knit and listen) a couple of books I loved reading did not fare well listened too.

I just couldn't bring myself to care. But perhaps it would be a better read than listen, I hope someday it becomes available in the US in eBook format, as I am trying to not buy more physical books, due to space and eyesight issues. For some reason, a lot of the British Library reissues of golden age detection novels are made available as audiobooks in the US a year or so before they are made available as eBooks.Jerrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02655230282344495721noreply@blogger.com
