Not as promised.
The description of the book was the best thing about a story that had great potential. Weak characters, with a predictable plot line, like the previous reviewer, this story is aimed more to the beginning Harlequin reader. The narrator provided a excellent interpetation of the elegance of English with a beautiful British Accent. I finished this because I feel every book I purchase deserves to be read, but it was a struggle to finish.

Great narration & a wonderful story
I loved this book from start to finish. The narrator does an excellent job with all the different accents & makes you feel like you get to know each character on a personal level. The story itself is more of a slow read at first, which sets up the dramatic finish. I can honestly say that I did not see the end coming at all. I had all kinds of guesses but it blew me away how the author managed to keep me (the reader) on my toes. A great story & a great listen. I thoroughly enjoyed escaping to 1950's England through this mystery thriller

From Predictable to Pageturning
Would you listen to The Beachcomber again? Why?
I would not listen twice as I never do ..
Who was your favorite character and why?
All the characters were well played... I guess Jasper would be the most outstanding one :-)
What about Carole Boyd’s performance did you like?
The narration was splendid. C.B read the different voices and dialects wonderfully.
Any additional comments?
I think the book started out in a very predictable manner but as the chapters wore on it became compelling and hard to put down..

Beachcomber
Enjoyed this book but like all Josephine's books it's too repetitive which I personally find annoying,that being said I really enjoyed the story and the narrator a favourite of mine really brings the characters to life.
A few mistakes which if proof read should have been picked up which again I find A lot of in Josephine's books but that's just me :-) overall well worth a read

Fantastic story.
This is another lovely story. Tom and Cathy are wonderful characters. The story is a little predictable but really exciting..

Just a quick review...
...because I've only a few minutes. Totally absorbing story, made irresistible by one of the best narrators I've heard - so rare not to have your listening tripped up by poor accents. Carole Boyd was spot on. I shall be looking for more books read by her.
