There are reasons to read instead of listen, and being able to skip over the bloody bits is one of them! Thank you.

ETA: Except that my library only has the audio! Oh, well, it won’t kill me.

And how’s this for a coincidence? I only this moment, pretty much, posted in the Deals forum about the Judge Dee books having just been added at Faded Page (not in PD in the US) and when I searched on Lavie Tidhar’s name at my library, I saw a Judge Dee original story!

(Seeing Judge Dee was happenstance; I was at Faded Page for a Baroness Orczy which is PD here.)
