Reseñas de la Crítica

"One of the best things about Marni Graff's latest Nora Tierney mystery, The Golden Hour, is the down-to-earth depiction of family life coupled with the tightly paced build of a twisty, time-honored puzzle. A meditation on love, loss and motherhood, The Golden Hour blends touchingly real domesticity with tongue-in-cheek humor, as the backdrop to a tale of art theft, germ warfare, and international conspiracy. The reflections of a reprehensible villain on the shortcomings of the British add just the right note of comedy to these otherwise weighty concerns. Added to this is a wonderful sense of place - Bath, Brighton, and Oxford are vividly rendered and charmingly true to life. Come for the crackling mystery, stay for the steady companionship of debonair detective Declan Barnes and feisty heroine, Nora Tierney, who offers warmth and smarts in equal measure." (Ausma Zehanat Khan, Among the Ruins, The Unquiet Dead)

Perfect for me!

I don't give out many one stars. I do give out many two to four stars. Rarely do I give out 5 stars. This is my favourite genre of story and it was perfect in all aspects. Hours of pure enjoyment.

I enjoyed this story - it was a bit slow for me at times but the narration was good and once I was fully invested in this story I really enjoyed it.

A Traditional English Mystery

Not my normal genre I usually read more hard/noir mysteries, But This was a really pleasant surprise!
A well crafted detective story, with well rounded characters and a superb plot with side plots all interwoven. Without sex, violence or bad language.
I wasn't sure at first but was soon convinced I will be looking for more to read from this author.
Narration was good.

The suspense gathers momentum as the drama unfolds, and the plot is very well crafted, with characters who are engaging and very realistic. The relationship between the protagonist and her law enforcement officer seems to provide a constant as the unexpected difficulties unfold. The publisher's blurb gives hints and clues, and there is no need for spoilers. I couldn't put it down, but that is less of a problem with audio.
Nano Nagle performed beautifully as narrator.

Listening for Clues

How have I not discovered author Marni (M.K.) Graff's Nora Tierney before now? Clearly this can be read as a standalone as I did and was enthralled. Any past history relevant to the instant story is quietly and comprehensively colored in, providing a rich background and full context to the goings on; characters develop beautifully as the intricate plot unfolds. Some things I figured out early, others were an utter surprise as new clues popped up from the fertile soil of Ms. Graff's imagination. I was held spellbound listening to narrator (AUDIO) Nano Nagle's excellent diction and vocal characterizations (although she didn't quite manage a solid American accent for our heroine--more of a transatlantic flattened sound); I am looking forward to more!
