About this listen

From the best-selling author of the famous Mrs. Pollifax series comes another delightfully eccentric and sage female sleuth - the exotic Madame Karitska. Although she is a genuine countess, Marina Elena Provovnitchek Gaylord Von Domm Karitska is foremost a psychic. When one of her clients turns up dead, Madame Karitska makes the acquaintance of Detective-Lieutenant Pruden, and an uncanny partnership is born. Madame Karitska forms images with the psychic vibrations she picks up from personal objects. Her shocking visions are at odds with outward appearances and Detective Pruden finds it difficult to believe in them. But as Madame Karitska uses her amazing powers to help him solve case after dangerous case, even the skeptic becomes convinced. With The Clairvoyant Countess, Dorothy Gilman has used her own amazing powers to create a character who is both awe-inspiring and lovable. Ruth Ann Phimister’s keen sense of timing and characterization let you too believe in the wonder that is Madame Karitska.

Great characters who become important to each through a series of short stories, each encouraging to think more critically and outside the proverbial box. Great mystery stories that entertain and encourage thought. And great performances by the narrator.

A great listen

a detective with a difference. Well read, good characters and plot. I hope there's another book to follow this as it definitely could work as a pleasant series. A nice cosy crime novel that's easy to listen to

very enjoyable

I really didn't want this one to end - lots of intriguing, enigmatic and fun mysteries featuring a beguiling and beautiful clairvoyant living in a normal, rather skeptical American town. All the mysteries blend seamlessly into one glorious novel. Sometimes with a novel which focuses on just one mystery with all its twists and turns, one can easily lose the plot; with this novel, however, I could happily dip in and out. Beautiful narration! I can't imagine that clairvoyants actually pick up so much detail in real life, but who wants real life when they're reading? It was such fun to suspend disbelief! Of course, now I long to have the talents and grace of Mme. Karinska!

Such fun!

Such a joyful book. An enjoyable listen. Uplifting. Cheerful stories in each chapter and I like how they get all woven together.

De boeken van Dorothy Gilman hebben zo'n gelaagdheid, dat ik ze al vaak gelezen heb en er telkens iets nieuws uithaal.
Eerder ontdekte ik al de Mrs Pollifax verhalen voorgelezen / verteld door Barbara Rosenblat, die in haar eentje beter een complete cast stem geeft, dan een heel team. Dus ik heb wel even geaarzeld voor ik dit luisterboek deed: een andere verteller. Maar eerlijk is eerlijk: deze stemacteur steekt Barbara Rosenblat naar de kroon.

om heel vaak naar te luisteren

Excellent reader. Unusual stories really enjoyed all the characters especially the Countess. Hope she continues the story in the future.
