Disappointed that Richard didn't narrate this one. Love the continuing adventures of your reluctant sleuth, but may have to read rather than listen this time around.
I'm only surprised the raccoon was dead.
When asked which chaRActer he'd like to see in a buddy cop movie #RichardArmitage said, "I would probably say Guy of Gisborne cuz he needs to lighten up. I'd like to slap him around a little and try to get a smile out of him. He was very serious." Time to lighten up and have a brilliant ๐๐๐๐๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฑ๐ฎ๐! ๐
Disappointing news for all who love #RichardArmitage and his narration of David Hewson's Venetian Mysteries series. He will NOT be voicing Arnold Clover, the series' protagonist, in the next book, The Devil in Dorsoduro (audiobook to be released next month). ๐ข
"His greatest comfort was in hugging his torment and in feeling that though she might despise him he did not change one whit.

Mr. Thornton watched the replacing of this troublesome ornament with far more attention than he listened to her father. It seemed as if it fascinated him to see her push it up impatiently...
According to first-hand reports, Rich was his typical amiable self, answering questions, etc. According to one attendee, his generosity of spirit was even more impressive considering his Mum was so ill at the time (and passed just weeks later). Photo credits to The Book of Esther wp.me/p32v63-9PA

Even when #RichardArmitage makes mistakes while recording an audiobook trailer, he's still perfect in my book. I dare you not to laugh as you listen to him giggle, chortle and guffaw thru this Blooper Reel from "It's Not What You Think" by Clare Mackintosh. www.instagram.com/reel/DWUDgIG...
Never thought I'd live to see the day when #RichardArmitage would have his own Blooper Reel, but here it is, straight from his "It's Not What You Think" audiobook promo.
"If someone can prove me wrong and show me my mistake in any thought or action, I shall gladly change. I seek the truth, which never harmed anyone: the harm is to persist in one's own self-deception and ignorance."
