About this listen

Auggie is starting his first year at Wroxall College. It’s a punishment, and he’s determined to make his way through the year, prove himself, and earn the right to go back home.

Theo is a grad student recovering from a terrible car accident. He’s lost his husband and their daughter, and he’s trying to figure out how to keep going.

When both are tangled up in a murder, though, they have to set their personal problems aside and work together — first to clear their names, and then, when the killer turns his attention on them, to survive.

But what might really kill them is finishing a seminar together on King Lear.

I’ve been on a Gregory Ashe binge read/listen recently having only discovered him within the past two years. What a find! But having listened to the six books in his Hazard and Somerset mystery series, back-to-back, I decided to take a break. His writing is supremely clever, subtly romantic (he writes romance so effortlessly that it’s almost not there, but when he does it’s completely bone melting), and his stories are intense with plots criss crossing and seemingly unrelated, until *bang* he hits with scenarios that leave me breathless. I have to rewind to ensure I haven’t imagined or misunderstand something his clever mind has just dropped into my poor unsuspecting, bedevilled mind.

Naively I decided to start another of his series to give myself a “break” and began THE FIRST QUARTO. This looks pretty tame I thought… fool that I am. I can just enjoy without chewing my fingernails to the quick, I thought - again… fool that I am. This is the brilliant Gregory Ashe and he doesn’t write tame - he writes exciting, wonderful, twisty, absolutely impossible plots that always play out and with intriguing characters who take on life and leave me loving them.

So I’ve learnt my lesson. I will *never* underestimate Gregory Ashe again. I’m just about to start book two in this series and was gutted to learn that book three has yet to be written but go on I must. Auggie and Theo will get their HEA - they must, or I’m flying to the USA to personally give Gregory Ashe a taste of his own medicine. HIGHLY recommended reading/listening but only if you can take the intense and emotional ride Gregory Ashe takes you on, and only if you’re happy with a very slow burn, but ultimately wonderful romance that’s ALWAYS worth waiting for.

This is the first time I’ve listened to JF Harding and his narration/performance of They Told Me I Was Everything was stupendous. His range of voices is quite remarkable and his portrayal of Theo and Auggie just perfect; they are extremely loveable, likeable and memorable. In my opinion this is one sign of a great author, when characters stay with you and no matter who of Gregory’s multitude of fans you might be talking to they know and love these characters as much as you do. These two men and JF Harding’s portrayal of them has only added to my immense enjoyment of what is a fantastic book. I’m off now to put myself through more torture.
