Members Reviews: Be careful not to listen to this book while drivin It'll be hard to keep your eyes on the road while rolling your eyes at the same time. Waste of time on all counts The writing is beyond bad (characters contradict themselves within the same paragraph, plot holes the size of Texas, and utterly preposterous dialog--and this is coming from a fan if the 1st 3 b BROKE MY HEART OVER AND OVER AGAIN! Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? I love VC Andrews, and yes, I would recommend her writing... Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Any additional comments? Oh I cried, I cried and my heart ached...Cathy and Chris tried..they really tried to be the best people they could...they were basically programmed from a very young age into the life they were to have...Yes the love they shared was forbidden by societies standards, but it was pure...it was true, and they shared a beautiful life together. They raised a decent family, even though t wasn't perfect, they did what made them happy and had what other people dream of in each other. I thought this was an excellent book, and even though it broke my heart..I know I will visit my Dresden dolls again...maybe I wont wait 25yrs this time... Good series This has been a great book! Filled with death, abuse, love and comfort. The whole series is like this. vc andrews classic one of the basic vc andrew books...i always love them. the voice was very easy listening.

This House Is Haunted Audiobook by John Boyne

Title: This House Is Haunted Author: John Boyne Narrator: Alison Larkin Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 52 mins Language: English Release date: 10-21-13 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 192 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: Written in Dickensian prose, This House Is Haunted is a striking homage to the classic 19-century ghost story. Set in Norfolk in 1867, Eliza Caine responds to an ad for a governess position at Gaudlin Hall. When she arrives at the hall, shaken by an unsettling disturbance that occurred during her travels, she is greeted by the two children now in her care, Isabella and Eustace. There is no adult present to represent her mysterious employer, and the children offer no explanation. Later that night in her room, another terrifying experience further reinforces the sense that something is very wrong. From the moment Eliza rises the following morning, her every step seems dogged by a malign presence that lives within Gaudlin's walls. Eliza realizes that if she and the children are to survive its violent attentions, she must first uncover the hall's long-buried secrets and confront the demons of its past. Clever, captivating, and witty, This House Is Haunted is pure entertainment with a catch. Critic Reviews: "A perfect, shivery gothic tale." (Booklist) Members Reviews: Well Read - Not Very Scary, Had Promise Any additional comments? Alison Larkin is a delight. She was perfect and the main reason I kept going. The story begins quite deliciously. The sightings and hints of ghosts have great promise, but we never hear of these initial ghostly appearances again. The actual haunting seemed heavily influenced by special efffects in Hollywood movies, which was a shame. It was easy to figure out who the ghosts were and this took away from the chilling effect. I also think the main character's stoic, resigned, not very scared acceptance of her situation was over played. The children were creepy. However, as I said at the beginning of this review, Ms. Larkin was delightful and perfect so,I kept listening. She makes the credit well worth it. Scary? No So-So Victorian period piece, but no thriller. Author was trying for "Turn of the Screw" but ended up with something closer to a Movie of the Week script instead. Narrator did the best she could with the material, so no knock on her performance here. This Book Is Dreadful Friends have been telling me I need to read John Boyne for years, so I looked forward to the experience. Having finished "This House Is Haunted," I could scarcely be more disappointed. The first three chapters could be cut as they only introduce irrelevant backstory. Removing overwritten passages of description and scenes in which nothing happens to advance the story would bring it down to the size of a novella. Even then, the plot is so contrived and predictable that it would not be worth reading. The most aggravating things about this book are the modern attitudes, speech patterns, and social customs that permeate every chapter of the book. These "intrusions" continuously break the attempt to create a fictional dream of the past and are as jarring as a sneezing fit during a chamber concert. Also, I found it hard to believe the author had spent any time with real children, even precocious or eccentric children, of any century. Alison Larkin is a charming narrator, but even she could not bring life to these wooden characters. Truly Chilling !! Would you consider the audio edition of This House Is Haunted to be better than the print version? I do this the audio version is better.

Title: Running the Maze Author: Jack Coughlin Narrator: Luke Daniels Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 31 mins Language: English Release date: 10-06-15 Publisher: Macmillan Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 356 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: In the latest high-intensity thriller in the New York Times best-selling sniper series, Marine Gunnery Sergeant Kyle Swanson is sent into Pakistan, where an international team of medical workers has been executed in order to cover up a deadly terrorist secret. In the aftermath of great floods, a doctor on a relief mission in Northeastern Pakistan discovers the remains of a collapsed bridge that reminds him of a bridge near his childhood home in Ohio. He snaps a cellphone picture and sends it to his sister just before his entire team is slaughtered. His sister is Beth Ledford, a Coast Guard sniper who suspects that the answer to the mystery of her brother's death is in that cellphone picture. No one believes her until she finds Swanson and the secret special operations team known as Task Force Trident. When Kyle takes Beth into Pakistan to investigate, they find the true secret behind the mass murder - what may be the last, best hope of victory by al-Qaeda and the Taliban over allied forces. Now the two snipers have their sights set on one man, an American diplomat who has become the biggest obstacle to victory in the war on terror. The only question is: Which of them gets to pull the trigger? Members Reviews: I have a map...but The violence continues, Double O s back, and introducing a new fem-fetal coast guard sniper...if you like smack talking women characters, people who aren't afraid to pull the trigger, and disobey orders....you have found a series of interest...if this does not interest you you'll be happier if you move on and save the credit Superb I think this is my favorite series - and I have listened to many (Flynn, Child, Eisler, Thor, Fury, Baldacci, Battles, Don Mann, Brad Taylor ..). There is good character development and good descriptions of places and events. The story is well paced with plenty of action but not over the top. While events are sometimes stretching reality; events aren't that unrealistic that they are almost be believable. But what really sets this series apart from the others are the little touches (Kyle hugging and swinging Lady Pat and calling her mom), the humanity and clear yet subtle reverence/respect for the people in the military, especially the marines (talking to the young privates when he was on the range, or attending the retirement party and saluting the Arizona). These touches bring more depth to Kyle but also brings life to the brotherhood in the military. And while Kyle is the clear hero, he is a sensible hero tapping resources rather than being a complete super hero and going it alone - he is clearly part of a team - a military team. This novel in particular is a great ride, a real page turner and leaves you wanting more stories of Gunnery Sargent Kyle Swanson. The narrator Luck Daniels does a great job. Love these audiobooks Great book highly recommend. I read this book out of order and it was still easy to follow and very entertaining. Downward spiral.... In an effort to comply with the trend of super women in the military, this novel works so hard to convince us that is possible that a real story is left behind. Taking anyone from coast guard or civilian policing to covert ops in a few weeks is just too much. Then add a 5' nothing female to the mix and the story ends before it begins.

The Shadow Puppet Audiobook by Georges Simenon, Ros Schwartz (translator)

Title: The Shadow Puppet Subtitle: Inspector Maigret, Book 12 Author: Georges Simenon, Ros Schwartz (translator) Narrator: Gareth Armstrong Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 18 mins Language: English Release date: 10-17-14 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 25 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: One by one the lighted windows went dark. The silhouette of the dead man could still be seen through the frosted glass like a Chinese shadow puppet. A taxi pulled up. It wasn't the public prosecutor yet. A young woman crossed the courtyard with hurried steps, leaving a whiff of perfume in her wake. Summoned to the dimly-lit Place des Vosges one night, where he sees shadowy figures at apartment windows, Maigret uncovers a tragic story of desperate lives, unhappy families, addiction and a terrible, fatal greed. Georges Simenon was born in Liège, Belgium, in 1903. Best known in Britain as the author of the "Maigret" books, his prolific output of over 400 novels and short stories have made him a household name in continental Europe. He died in 1989 in Lausanne, Switzerland, where he had lived for the latter part of his life. Anthea Bell is the award-winning translator of numerous French and German works: from the Asterix comics to W. G. Sebald's literary masterpiece Austerlitz. Audible will be producing all 75 Maigret titles. Members Reviews: Maigret grows positively fond of the dead man This novel exemplifies everything I love about Maigret â the way the huge burly inspector lurks in the vicinity of the crime absorbing impressions; his habit of hanging around and chatting aimlessly with potential suspects, casually cranking them up; his unexpected bursts of fondness or compassion for various characters... Maigret claims to have no method, yet his mere presence on the scene is a kind of method. It's great fun to watch him rattling a suspect with an expression of stupidity, an air of inattention, or a sudden roughness of manner. The unhurried pace of his investigation is always something to savor. In this story, he grows unaccountably fond of the victim, Monsieur Coucher, wealthy owner of a health serum company shot dead in the presence of his empty safe. The good-natured Coucher lived life to the full. He had three women in his life â an elegant upper-class wife, a bitter ex-wife, and a charming young mistress. Maigret gets to know them quite well. Simenon believed in writing novels that could be read in a day. The Shadow Puppet is certainly short and concise â not a word wasted â yet so dense with suggestive psychological undercurrents and unsettling atmosphere that it's totally satisfying and feels like it's taking place in real time. I thought I'd read every Maigret novel available in English, but this one was new to me. I loved every minute of it. Although The Shadow a Puppet is an early Maigret, published in France in 1932, it already exhibits the understated wit, psychological nuances and haiku-like descriptions found in Simenon's best mysteries. The translation, I believe, successfully captures Simenon's inimitable style. Good Old Couchet Maigret finds himself liking a murdered man that he never met while he looks for his murderer among 28 residents of what an American would call an apartment complex. This Simenon novel has especially strong character portraits of sad and nasty people. "Good old Couchet!" Like so many of Simenon's novels, this one improves with rereading. So read it, pour a cup of coffee, and read it again. Not his best No the best in the series. A bit lazy and characters are confusing and poorly drawn by the master.

Meanwhile a US naval combat ship, the USS Milwaukee, is attacked by North Korean forces in the middle of a training exercise off the shore of South Korea, and Commander Kate Bigelow is forced to ground the ship to avoid being captured. The crew takes refuge on a tiny island, trapped dangerously between the grounded ship and a fleet of hostile North Korean soldiers. Op-Center intelligence discovers a secret alliance behind the attack - a pact between China and North Korea that guarantees China total control of a vast oil reserve found beneath the Yellow Sea. As both sides marshal their forces for a major confrontation at sea, Chase Williams and his Op-Center organization devise a plan to spirit the American crew secretly from the island and out from under North Korean control. But the North Koreans are not finished. In a desperate gamble, they unleash a terrorist cell on the American homeland. Only Op-Center can uncover their plan and stop it in time to prevent a major catastrophe that could lead to all-out war. Members Reviews: Not UpvTo Series Standard Unkept waiting for it to get better but it didn't. The story took a long time to get moving. And, then the bit about the United Nations really no nexus to the first 3/4 of the book. Don't waste your time. Into the fire dissappoints This book wasnt for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more? Perhaps some ladies over tea. Would you ever listen to anything by Dick Couch and George Galdorisi again? I have listened to four of the Dick Couch series. The Pines +++ Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Henry Leyva? Dick Hill Any additional comments? The story was slow paced, too much dithering by the principle characters. This is a military story with many weak characters. A little disappointed this writer appeared and sounded like somebody that did not have a Clue what people actually sound like or act like when they are engaged in Some type of combat. They do not do the "yes sir or no sir" when in a fire fight. Sorry I was disappointed Unconvincing Liked the girl being a good commanding officer. Thought the story lacking in imagination and/or excitement. Narrator voice seemed unconvincing. Worst Tom Clancy book ever Boring story. Had a hard time staying awake. Performance was terrible!! Save your money, and do not buy this book.

Title: A Cold Day in Paradise Author: Steve Hamilton Narrator: Dan John Miller Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 55 mins Language: English Release date: 02-01-10 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 283 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: Other than the bullet lodged less than a centimeter from his heart, former Detroit police officer Alex McKnight thought he had put the nightmare of his partners death and his own near-fatal injury behind him. After all, Maximilian Rose, convicted of the crimes has been locked in the state pen for years. But in the small town of Paradise, Michigan, where McKnight has traded his badge for a cozy cabin in the woods, a murderer with Roses unmistakable trademarks appears to be back to his killing ways. With Rose locked away, McKnight cant understand who else would know the intimate details of the old murders - not to mention the signature blood-red rose left on his doorstep. And it seems like itll be a frozen day in Hell before McKnight can unravel the cold truth from a deadly deception in a town thats anything but paradise. Members Reviews: Zzzzzz What disappointed you about A Cold Day in Paradise? The protagonist in this book has virtually no redeeming qualities. He is not brave or smart and is constantly whining. He is constantly flying off the handle with little provocation and has more hang-ups than a telemarketer. When stalked by a homicidal maniac, he leaves his gun and flashlight laying around where he can't find them. He is so pathetic it is hard to root for him and difficult to understand why any of the supporting characters care about him at all.The author seems to be in love with himself and drags the predicable plot to the pace of a funeral procession by going off on descriptive prose tangents that appear to have no other purpose but to insert projects from his last writers clinic.There was one funny part when the protagonist's now deceased partner described how boring baseball is. Maybe that was a metaphor for the book itself but one laugh does not a book make. What do you think your next listen will be? Nothing by Steve Hamilton. What three words best describe Dan John Miller???s voice? Good character separation. You didn???t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities? No. None. A modern Agatha Christie thriller This is a well written book, the dialog between the characters is written with depth and realism and I loved it. One comment on the characters, they are a quirky lot and are fun to follow as you listen to the story. This book reminds me of some of the early mystery writers, as I stated in my headline like Agatha Christie, not high on the body count or action hero stuff, more Nero Wolf style, which I like. I would say that if you like some of the early mystery writers of the 1900's then you will like this book a lot. If you like a well written mystery but have never read any of the early mystery writers then you will like this book and will find it a great gateway to some wonderful classics in the wold of mystery writing. Transparent 'Who-done-it' It had to be one of the main characters, and it does not take long to figure out who's up to no good. The main character (all of them, but he in particular) is underdeveloped and not very attractive as the protagonist. Everyone in this thing is a nutcase or a wimp. This guy needs to learn how to create attractive characters, even if they are evil.

Dr. Alex Hoffmanns name is carefully guarded from the general public, but within the secretive inner circles of the ultrarich, he is a legend. He has developed a revolutionary form of artificial intelligence that predicts movements in the financial markets with uncanny accuracy. His hedge fund, based in Geneva, makes billions. But one morning before dawn, a sinister intruder breaches the elaborate security of his lakeside mansion, and so begins a waking nightmare of paranoia and violence as Hoffmann attempts, with increasing desperation, to discover who is trying to destroy him. Fiendishly smart and suspenseful, The Fear Index gives us a searing glimpse into an all-too-recognizable world of greed and panic. It is a novel that forces us to confront the question of what it means to be humanand it is Robert Harriss most spellbinding and audacious novel to date. Critic Reviews: "Unputdownable.... Harris has achieved the impossible, or at least the improbable: an explanation of the extravagantly esoteric nature of hedge funds, which normal people can understand.... I gorged myself, devouring his dystopian vision of free markets enslaved by a sinister artificial intelligence in one breakneck sitting. (The Daily Telegraph) Reminiscent of everyone from Michael Crichton to Ian Fleming, Stanley Kubrick and Alfred Hitchcock. (Financial Times) A virtuoso specimen.... Inventively exploiting current anxieties about algorithmic trading to update the Frankenstein story, The Fear Index is both cutting edge and keenly conscious of its literary predecessors.... A tour de force. (The Sunday Times, London) Members Reviews: Familiar plot Any additional comments? Plot seemed very predictable - the M5 from Star Trek, HAL from 2001, WAR GAMES, and any number of other stories where artificial intelligence eventually runs amok. Other Robert Harris books that I have read were outstanding but I was underwhelmed with this one. The narration by Christian Rodska was acceptable, although his performance in this was very much inferior to the one he had in Winston Churchill's the Second World War. The Book Dan Brown Wished He Wrote Have you read "Digital Fortress" Dan Brown's clanky stew of improbabilities? Pity, you should have read, and still should read "The Fear Index". I'm an economist with a specialty in finance. And I wondered throughout this book if Harris sat behind me in class, taking better notes? Or maybe he was off studying the art market? Or maybe he spent those study years in cyber studies or A number of authors have played with the general theme of "The Fear Index" none better than Harris does here. And Christian Rodska is so superb that he'd surely win some sort of Academy Award for excellence in the audio genre if only one existed (Does it? Why not?). I'm giving copies of "The Fear Index" to friends this Christmas. When you do that, you're reputation for picking thrillers is on the line. I'll walk that line ho-ho-ho-ing with Harris in my Santa bag. Treat yourself, listen to this one. Trading at the speed of thought....but whose? Robert Harris is a wonderful writer, but this book is not his best by any means. Unfortunately I was stuck in airplane mode with this the last book in my downloads.

Exciting, fast-paced thriller What did you love best about Thunder Point? The book moves quickly and is very believable. Who was your favorite character and why? Dillon, without whom this would have been a very dull read. Which scene was your favorite? Early in the book when Henry first discovered the 180. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? The Third Reich continued. Any additional comments? As exciting as this book was, the ending was quite anticlimactic.

It seems their few fellow passengers are not ordinary travelers - theyre an elite group of Interpol agents who urgently need the Sisterhoods help. Now the ladies face a stark choice: resume their vigilante status for one of their most hazardous assignments yet, or try to outwit a group of powerful adversaries willing to use truly desperate measures. This time, everything is in the balance - their lives, their friendship, and the freedom they fought so hard to gain.... Members Reviews: Love it started the series a little late needed a book to read while I was waiting to be called for jury duty. fell in love with a book and decided I wanted to read more at the same time decided to try the app was delighted about the book being on this app. all I can say now is that I have now become addicted to the series and so happy she started an offshoot with the boys and hope there's more The Sisterhood to come also.

Reflex Audiobook by Dick Francis

Title: Reflex Author: Dick Francis Narrator: Simon Prebble Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 9 mins Language: English Release date: 08-31-11 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 174 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: Well-plotted and full of atmospheric charm, Reflex demonstrates the fine style that earned Dick Francis the title of Grand Master of the Mystery Writers of America. This fast-paced story of a jockeys courageous murder investigation exposes the politics and corruption at the heart of the British racing world. Philip Nore has no greater ambition than to successfully complete the last years of his career as a jockey, even if it means bending the rules a bit. But when pushed, Philip discovers that there really are a few other things that matter to him. One is finding the truth about the death of a much hated track photographer. Reflex showcases the authors gift for creating heroes out of ordinary men. Simon Prebbles distinctive voice, deep and mildly accented, is perfect for Francis work. His performance highlights the psychological drama and intrigue to deliver a positively exhilarating listening experience. Members Reviews: Blackmail, Murder and Mayhem! Dick Francis' novels generally follow a set formula of a well developed main character who may or may not be a horse racing/steeplechasing jockey and some sort of mysterious and dangerous situation. Francis has an ingenious way of weaving bits and pieces of seemingly random events and subplots into one brilliant, fascinating and entertaining story. I think this might be my favorite one so far. This novel is about an aging-out jockey, Phillip Nore, who is contemplating what he will do after retirement in a couple of years. He had a checkered childhood of growing up in various households of his mother's friends where she leaves him for a "few days" promising to return - the days turns into weeks, months, and years. One of his "foster parents" had given him a camera which became a part of his everyday life and his saving grace throughout this story. Phillip is thinking about retiring and wondering about his future when his amateur photographer status becomes the focus of this story after a disliked but well-known professional racing photographer is killed in a car crash. Nore accidentally comes into possession of the dead man's records, photos and negatives upon which he uses sophisticated photography techniques to uncover the schemes behind blackmail, murder and mayhem. Simon Prebble is the best! Classic Dick Francis If you love Dick Francis, you'll love "Reflex." His lead character is reliably male, reliably decent, and reliably gets smashed up in the process of solving a racehorse-related mystery. If what you want is a reliable Dick Francis novel, this is one of his best. The narration by Simon Pebble is wonderful. Always learn something! I love Dick Francis' books! The research is very deep and thorough, I always learn something! Intrigue all around. An ongoing battle between revenge and righteousness. Will an Awakening past prove downgall or uplifting. Compelling with a delightful ending! Loved it. DF is the best. I was sad that it ended so soon! I can't wait to read another one of his fabulous books!

Without Fail Audiobook by Lee Child

Title: Without Fail Subtitle: Jack Reacher 6 Author: Lee Child Narrator: Jeff Harding Format: Unabridged Length: 14 hrs and 4 mins Language: English Release date: 03-07-13 Publisher: Random House Audiobooks Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 106 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: Jack Reacher walks alone. No job, no ID, no last known address. But he never turns down a plea for help. Now a woman tracks him down. A woman serving at the very heart of US power. A woman who needs Reacher's assistance in her new job. Her job? Protecting the Vice-President of the United States. Members Reviews: Great Story Concept You never think that personal protection could be so complex and challenging. Lee Childs, through Jack Reacher, looks at protecting the vice president(Probably why they call it fiction). Once you get past the nearly, laughable concept that a guy off the street can be used as a security consultant, the plot unfolds into a solid story where Jack Reacher lives in the echo of his brother, looking at revenge and love. Solid and enjoyable story and the audible presentation is brilliant. Listen to the details ... perfection in words Lee Child is a master story teller and Reacher is the means by which we see this. The story comes across slowly, it's never forced into action though you are aware that simplicity has retreated and the strands of something very complicated are emerging. Lee Child's skill for observation is the glue that binds thought and action together. It's the small details that bring colour and understanding of his characters into a unity. This book is excellent. All this together with the voice of Jeff Harding makes for compelling listening. Uninteresting, far fetched story Probably my least favourite Reacher story. Not really fast moving, The female secret service character was very annoying. Doesn't inspire confidence in the rest of the stories. A Simply Brilliant Reacher Novel I love Jeff Harding's narration; I love the flawed, yet individually perfect character of Reacher; and I love the diversity of these situations that Lee Child weaves into a highly credible story. Previous reviewers have been critical about Reacher's involvement with his brother's ex, but I consider it a very real world, typical, likely turn of events. The Reacher character is not holy, moral or chaste. He's never been portrayed in that way; he could never have survived these various situations if he were! He has his own code of justice and morality. We enjoy viewing it through his eyes, living through his thought processes. What do I like best about him? "Reacher said nothing." He's quite a wise man Enjoy this, you'll learn a lot about him and his brother Joe. Wonderfully implausible nonsense What did you like most about Without Fail? Our hero's absolute commitment to the cause and this story's showcasing of his knowledge and background Would you recommend Without Fail to your friends? Why or why not? Yes, because if you're reading the Reacher series, why would you miss one out, even though this isn't the best I've listened to so far What does Jeff Harding bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you had only read the book? Harding has a very good voice for narration and tempo Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? Not particularly

Their loot is priceless, but Princeton has insured it for $25 million. Bruce Cable owns a popular bookstore in the sleepy resort town of Santa Rosa on Camino Island in Florida. He makes his real money, though, as a prominent dealer in rare books. Very few people know that he occasionally dabbles in the black market of stolen books and manuscripts. Mercer Mann is a young novelist with a severe case of writer's block who has recently been laid off from her teaching position. She is approached by an elegant, mysterious woman working for an even more mysterious company. A generous offer of money convinces Mercer to go undercover and infiltrate Bruce Cable's circle of literary friends, ideally getting close enough to him to learn his secrets. But eventually Mercer learns far too much, and there's trouble in paradise as only John Grisham can deliver it. Members Reviews: Terrible! Extremely dissapointing Pointless plot. No tension. Colorless characters. High school creative writing level. I have read and loved nearly all other Grisham books. Save your time and money. Good read Good book, had some slow spots, but I enjoyed it. glad Mercer was able to move on from the betrail Loved it! Fun read, likable characters. I loved the engaging trip into the literary world and the black market The underground world of rare manuscripts a simple plot not up to John gresham's usual standards. Nevertheless it's an interesting listen. though I prefer masculine narrators.

But it is not going to be a straightforward campaign. After taking a bullet to the head, Salander is under close supervision in Intensive Care, and is set to face trial for three murders and one attempted murder on her eventual release. With the help of journalist Mikael Blomkvist and his researchers at Millennium magazine, Salander must not only prove her innocence, but identify and denounce the corrupt politicians that have allowed the vulnerable to become victims of abuse and violence. Once a victim herself, Salander is now ready to fight back. Critic Reviews: "With the spiky and sassy Lisbeth Salander - punkish wild child, traumatised survivor of the 'care' system, sexual adventurer and computer hacker of genius - Larsson created the most original heroine to emerge in crime fiction for many years." (The Independent) "Complex, satisfying, clever, moral...a grown-up novel for grown-up readers...this is why the Millennium Trilogy is rightly a publishing phenomenon all over the world." (Kate Mosse) Members Reviews: A Fabulous Finale It is rare that a series gets stronger as it goes along, but Hornets' Nest is a terrific finale. When I got to the last part of the book, I sat for five hours straight so that I could find out what happened.

When I got to the last part of the book, I sat for five hours straight so that I could find out what happened. It is a great feminist novel, though many readers might not notice... Saul brings Sweden to life You've read all the rave reviews; believe them! These books (The Trilogy) are fabulous. But let me praise the narrator, Saul Reichlin. He brought the books to life in a wonderful way. He made it easy to distinguish between the characters, despite a variety of accents (Swedish, Irish, Australian, Russian, etc.) and he did it without making them into caricatures. As I discussed the books with friends, I would mention a name and they would often say "is that how you pronounce it?". Mr. Reichlin not only made these books a pleasure to listen to, he made me confident pronouncing more-than-difficult Swedish names and places! Buy the book, and enjoy. Fanatstic Great final book that wraps up the series well. The narrator adds to the story with a great effort. In a way it was disappointing for the book to end because it was so good. Highly recommend all in the series even though they take a while to listen to. However you soon become involved and wanting more. Worth every cent Problems with recording Some of this recording has clearly been taken from recordings for tape, so it's irritating to be asked to turn the tape over while listening on a digital device! To make matters worse, there is a whole section missing between part 2 and part 3. Sure Audible (oops, Amazon) can do better than that. Frankly, I want my money back.

And to make matters worse, Marcus is out of prison, hoping for reconciliation and determined to clear his name. Sam is forced to confront his own dark past, but as the layers of deceit are peeled back, can he really trust anyone around him? Members Reviews: intriging Good story. Many characters so had some problem following the story at first. Once I got into it i couldn't wait to read on. Great Story First of all the narrator is amazing!! And the story captured my attention and held it all the way through. Bravo! very suspenseful very suspenseful kept me on the edge of my seat narration good storyline like the author and his other books also soap opera I struggled to finish it. The characters were weak and story line not believable. The narration was very poor especially the woman's voice. I will not read another book by this author or with these narrators. Enjoyed! What did you like best about this story? Lots of twists. A bit sketchy but finally all comes together. Any additional comments? A bit far fetched.

Do Not Disturb Audiobook by A. R. Torre

Torre Narrator: Jorjeana Marie Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 4 mins Language: English Release date: 04-21-15 Publisher: Hachette Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 280 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: Equal parts Dexter and Fifty Shades, this is the eagerly awaited follow-up to the daring erotic thriller The Girl in 6E by A.R. Torre. 1. Don't leave the apartment. 2. Never let anyone in. 3. Don't kill anyone. The rules were simple, and I broke them. Now I must face the consequences. Everyone else must face me. Critic Reviews: "A.R. Torre's The Girl in 6E lifts the veil on the dark, erotic world of camming, but the book contains so many more surprises than that. At the novel's core, a tender heart beats, and the increasingly suspenseful pages fly by as its deepest secrets are revealed. This is a taut, edgy, thrill ride, powerfully gripping and impossible to turn away from." (David Bell, author of Never Come Back and Cemetery Girl) Members Reviews: There is nothing 50 shades about this book. This was a great book, it was easily equal to The Girl in 6 E Possibly even Better. But the likeness to 50 shades is a farce. There is no D/s or M/s dynamic in this book. In fact frankly I am a little disturbed that it would be compared to 50 shades but this book references things that are clearly non-consensual. Which is exactly the opposite of 50Shades much less any well written BDSM literary piece. Don't but this because you are looking for 50Shades, buy it because you read The Girl in 6E and want to follow a brilliant story. For the record, Violence and sex do not equal Dominant, they equal predator. 5 MFing Stars! Wow, I thought the first book was good. It's like they took the leash off the author and she let the characters go wild. This was an outstanding listen and I finished it while going to work and taking care of my family in two days. Absolutely worth the money, time, and a listen I will go back to. If the author ramped it up this much for the second book, I can't wait for the third installment. The narrator once again did a five star job. Don't wait, click buy NOW!! Weirdly and Disturbingly Wonderful This is the sequel to The Girl in 6E, which is one of the best books I have read this year. One of the strangest, but one of the best. Do Not Disturb continues the story of Deanna Madden, one of the most bizarre and questionably sane heroines ever to grace the pages of a novel. Honesty, after reading 6E, I never expected there to be sequel. It didn't scream "series". But I am glad the author gave me another chance to spend time with this weirdly amoral but very likable character. Her somewhat unique career - internet sex cam girl - isn't described quite so clinically in this book. There is more graphic detail than in the first book, which didn't bother me, but might be offensive to others. I actually found it quite fascinating and was impressed (and curious about) by how much research the author had to do about this job. The premise of this book is - just as Deanna is starting to emerge from her self-imposed isolation and making tentative connections in the real world, she is faced with a really bad guy and her ultimate show down with him allows her to give into her bloodlust. At the end of the first book I doubted if Deanna's fears were justified and if she was as capable of violence as she seemed to believe. By the end of Do Not Disturb, there was no doubt in my mind that she is as scary as she believes herself to be. The book also fleshes out a couple other characters introduced in the first book.

They have no rivals anywhere for skill, speed, ferocity, intelligence, flexibility, and sheer resolve. Now one of them is the enemy. Alpha team leader Sergeant Major Eric Rheinhardt is retiring from the Unit - hanging up his guns and jockeying a desk at the Pentagon. But just when he thought he was out, a ghost has emerged from his past (along with a lost love), dredging up a secret shame and past-due debt. Much worse, his old mentor and now nemesis Rod "the God" Tucker has turned up on the payroll of the messianic Iranian mullahs - training their proxy fighters in Hamas and Hezbollah, purchasing cyberwar talent and fissile material from the Chinese, and laying the groundwork for the fall of the Third Temple, the modern state of Israel. The explosive collision of these two legendary operators will ultimately embroil Israeli special forces, Chinese hackers, squadrons of D-boys, Tier-1 SEAL teams, CIA paras, Kurdish Peshmerga fighters, hyperskilled jihadis, and Iranian Revolutionary Guards - all in a no-holds-barred street fight for survival. Members Reviews: Kick ass,. Action packed. Twists and turns Best f'n book I've read! I'm a action and military history fan. So this book, much like the 1st d-boys was right up my alley. But this one!!!Book 2. Holy f'n hell. Great book! superior to the first story in delivery and action One of the Delta Force soldiers has gone rogue and is threatening the stability of not just the Middle East, but possibly the whole world. The super soldiers of Delta Force, or D-Boys, are getting slaughtered in a pre-planned offense that goes horribly wrong. The generals and government officials want everyone to stay out until there is more credible intel, but by then it will be too late. Eric Reinhardt and his men risks life and career to do the right thing in a blaze of bullets and explosions. Counter-assault is all action, super-soldiers and impossible odds. But that is just how the D-Boys like it. If you are a military novel enthusiast, this will be right up your alley. There are lots of acronyms and weapons descriptions, military banter and enough testosterone to fill a fuel tanker. Its a fun listen, enough character development and back story to give the listener enough to make the action plausible. There are also brief dialogue interludes where the listener gets some philosophical lessons about the necessity of a strong military and the wrong headedness of Islamic dogma, while stressing that human beings all want the same things. The book doesnt quite whack us over the head with it, but it creates a clear good vs. evil scenario. The story is performed by Kevin Arthur Harper. His voice is pleasant enough, but drags the narrative somewhat. His characters are occasionally difficult to differentiate, confusing the listener a little at times. He is at his best when the action goes hot and all is forgiven. A good performance overall. Counter-assault is book two in the D-Boys series but could be listened to independently. The main characters are still here, but the focus is completely different. The plots only slightly relate. It is superior to the first story in delivery and action as well.

Blood River Audiobook by Tim Butcher

Title: Blood River Author: Tim Butcher Narrator: Tim Butcher Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 45 mins Language: English Release date: 02-26-08 Publisher: Whole Story Audiobooks Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 68 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: Making his way in an assortment of vessels including a motorbike and a dugout canoe, and helped along by a cast of characters from UN aid workers to a campaigning pygmy, he followed in the footsteps of the great Victorian adventurers. Butcher's journey was a remarkable feat, but the story of the Congo, is more remarkable still. Members Reviews: This is a story about a great adventure First I need to set the record straight on something - this is a work of non-fiction, it chronicles the journalists adventures as he tries to retrace the steps of the lengendary and shadowy Stanley expedition. It is amazing that this man survived to tell this important story, the condition that this country has fallen to is amazing and a warning to all who read this book. I cannot do justice to this tale in a few paragraphs, but woven inside the adventure of his travels is a history lesson about the Congo and the Stanley expedition that is very well done. This is a book that when finished will leave the reader more informed on many fronts. Put this one in the cart it is well worth your time. Even better the second time around. I read this book about a year ago and I was so impressed by it that I recommended it to my book group for this months book. As a refresher I got the audio book through Audible. It was great the second time around and Tim Butcher does a wonderful job of narration. I have also read and recommend Tim Butcher's other books. Wish I were brave enough to attempt this! What did you love best about Blood River? Adventure-travel writing at it's most enjoyable. It's a treat to hear author Tim Butcher narrate his own story, in simple, unpretentious, thought out prose. As if you were right there in the congo traveling with him. He does a fantastic job providing historical context and his own take on things. Only criticism is that I would have liked more vivid description of jungle fauna and flora. Leave narration to professionals! A great chronicle of an astonishing journey that every single person told Butcher was "impossible". The most impressive point to me is his emphasis on how much the country has regressed since independence - he passes through deserted areas where colonial maps show thriving towns. Most everything in place in 1960 is now ruined, if still there. Diseases, which the Belgians had largely controlled, are back. An interesting take on colonialism comes from a disgusted Malaysian aid worker who snorts (paraphrased): "We had a colonial past, and got over it!" Recommended, although Butcher's narration at a gazillion words per minute got tiring often. There were times I wanted to stop listening, and had to wait a while for a pause to do so, rather than stop in mid-torrent. Inspiration Butcher really inspired me in his story about Congo river and its people. As a son of Congo this really put a lot in perspective for me and motivates me to want to do more for humanity and suffering people of Congo who don't even ask for more than a safe place for them to live their lives.

Amber Langstrom is beautiful, damaged, and hiding a secret with a link to his past. She claims her son, Adam, is a wrongfully convicted sex offender who has vanished from a brutal work camp in the high timber around the Widowmaker Ski Resort. She also claims that Adam Langstrom is the illegitimate son of Jack Bowditch, Mike's dead and diabolical father. He is the half brother Mike never knew he had. After trying so hard to put his troubled past behind him, Mike is reluctant to revisit the wild country of his childhood and again confront his father's history of violence. But Amber's desperation and his own need to know the truth make it hard for him to refuse her pleas for help. In search of answers, Bowditch travels through a mountainous wilderness to a place hidden from the rest of the world, where the military guards a top-secret interrogation base, sexual predators live together in a backwoods colony, and self-styled vigilantes are willing to murder anyone they consider their enemies. Mike Bowditch must exorcise the demons of the past before the real-life demons of the present kill him. Members Reviews: Never attempt a Maine accent!! Would you try another book from Paul Doiron and/or Henry Leyva? Paul Doiron has created an authentic portrait of Maine and its natural beauty. The individual characters ring true and I love this series. But the narrator's attempt at a Maine accent is just dreadful. It's cross between Brooklyn and British with a bit of Southern US thrown in. Again and again, the beautiful and unusual Maine accent is butchered on TV and film. Would you recommend Widowmaker to your friends? Why or why not? I will tell my friends to read the book and skip the audio book. How did the narrator detract from the book? The Maine accent is terribly distracting. Why attempt it? And he mis-pronounces towns and cities. Good read Would you try another book from Paul Doiron and/or Henry Leyva? I would... it was a surprising good book! What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!) totally wow!!! loved it!!! If this book were a movie would you go see it? Wolf!!! Any additional comments? I tried this book by the reviews... I was really surprised. I really liked it!!! Would rather rate 3.5... If you like the narrator and the story line of this series you'll most likely enjoy this read. It does involve sex offenders so if you're uncomfortable with the subject you might want to skip this one. It does not go into much details but it's the subject the plot is about. This is the reason I would rather rate 3.5. Also I'm starting to pick up on some of the more picky reviews of the narrators Maine accent and if you're an East coaster you might find it more annoying than people which are not very familiar with an authentic Maine accent. Good series I enjoy discovering a mystery series and listening/reading all the way through. The good ones are rare. Sometimes they bog down halfway along but not with Paul Doiron's books. This latest book, Widowmaker, kept me plugged in from start to finish. The characters are compelling and the little side stories always interesting. I also like the Maine setting, one of my favorite states.

A phantom from her past is lurking in the shadows, waiting in the night, and holding her family captive...in the dark. Critic Reviews: "An edge-of-your-seat suspense novel. It scared the hell out of me. Read it with the lights on!" (Robert Dugoni, Amazon number one and New York Times best-selling author of My Sister's Grave) Members Reviews: GET THIS BOOK!! This book put me on the edge of my seat, it is really that good! This is a suspenseful and believable story with likable characters. There are other reviews and a synopsis to fill in the storyline so I won't do that. What I will say is that although the kidnapper/killer is revealed pretty early on in the book it the it's not the finding out who it is but how and when he will be caught and by who. I really really enjoyed this author's writing style. You can feel the mother's angst over her missing daughter and the lead detective 's frustration and anxiety while trying to find her. The detective has a story woven through of his own. The kidnapper's life is slowly revealed. His struggle to get from the wrong side of the tracks to his acceptance into high society and what he's had to do to get there (and it ain't pretty). The narrating duo of Lisa Stathoplos and Corey Gagne do an outstanding job narrating. This is book one in the Holt Foundation series. The next book on my reading list is book two. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this book. If you found this review helpful please indicate so. Thank You. Extreme suspense! In the Dark is the first novel in The Holt Foundation Stories series. This is a must listen audio book for those who like suspense mystery/thrillers. The publisher's summary gives far too little information, but prior reviews fill in the blanks. The Holt Foundation was started by a woman dying of lung cancer. Marissa Rooney's older college age daughter is missing when she is hired as an investigator for the Holt Foundation. Marissa is the protagonist. The antagonist is as evil as one can imagine. Narration is superb. Thrilling. When Marissa hasn't heard from her daughter for a few days, she starts to worry. This isn't like Brooke at all!! When she still can't get through to her and hears from her best friend, who hasn't seen her either, she goes to the police. The police aren't in a rush to find Brooke, but Marissa pushes them because Brooke needs insulin and she doesn't have her back up with her. If she doesn't get it soon she will die!! It's a race against time for Brooke! The plot of this was, once it got going, fast paced and thrilling. This is the first book in a series and as such, has a lot of world and character building to do, but it's done well enough here that I didn't mind it!! I enjoyed seeing Marissas back story and learning more about her. I enjoyed getting a peek into the bad guys thoughts too. Seeing Brooke going through what she was going through was tough but added extra tension to the story. Character wise, they were all well written and developed. Marissa is a great character.

Title: Stone Kiss Author: Faye Kellerman Narrator: George Guidall, Julia Gibson Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 44 mins Language: English Release date: 08-12-14 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 79 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: New York Times best-selling author Faye Kellerman delivers a riveting thriller starring LAPD Lieutenant Peter Decker. Murder hits close to home as the brother-in-law of Deckers half-brother is found dead in a seedy hotel room. Missing from the scene is the dead mans 15 year-old-niece. Pete finds the girl in the last place anyone would think to look, and soon devastating family secrets emerge. Members Reviews: The Series Shifts Gears The first two books of this series were great mysteries and a great introduction to a lifestyle--that of an orthodox or Torah Jewish community--that many of us are unfamiliar with. Those two ("Ritual Bath" and "Sacred and Profane") portray a community of gentleness and peace (although not necessarily acceptance) broken only when outsiders invade. With the marriage of orthodox Rina to L.A. Police Detective Peter Decker (a non-observant Jew who embraces the orthodox life along with Rina), the couple and the series moved outside the closed community but maintained their observant identity. In "Justice," one of the later books of the series (and one of the best), Kellerman downplayed the Jewish milieu and introduced a fascinating new character, the amoral killer Chris Whitman Donati. "Stone Kiss" takes a new direction in the series' portrayal of orthodox life and brings Chris Donati and his world of organized crime into improbable but fascinating juxtaposition. Peter and Rina are called on to intervene in a crisis within the New York City branch of their orthodox family, one of whom has been murdered under shocking and scandalous circumstances. The orthodox community depicted here is neither peaceful nor gentle, but it is certainly closed and definitely unaccepting--and some of its members are not exactly toeing the line of the Torah. Religious observance can hide a dark side. "Stone Kiss" was written shortly post 9-11, and those events are both spoken of and seem like unspoken players in Kellerman's worldview here. Of all the books in this long-running series, I recommend this one along with the three mentioned earlier as by far the best. Each is engrossing in itself, and taken together they display a healthy evolution of both author and characters. "Stone Kiss" is narrated by the eminent George Guidall, who is absolutely perfect for it. Yes and No Having heard other Faye Kellerman books narrated by Mitchell Greenberg, I find this narration a bit irritating. This narrator obviously didn't know the history of Chris Donati. He made him sound as if he were close to 60, instead of in his early 30s and gave him the wrong accent; too cliche gangster. If I hadn't known the character and his history, it might've been ok. Great story though!! Different narrator This one had a different narrator than the rest of the previous books - I found this one to be not as enjoyable to listen to Great story though A great story a great narrator What made the experience of listening to Stone Kiss the most enjoyable? George Guidal is simply the best narrator. He gives life to the written word. When coupled with a great story~magic.... What other book might you compare Stone Kiss to and why? The Rabi slept late on Friday, Have you listened to any of George Guidall and Julia Gibson s other performances before? How does this one compare? George Guidal is my favorite narrator.

Leo's past, however, can not be left behind so easily, and the legacy of his former career - the friends and families of those he had arrested as a state security officer - continues to hound him. Now, a new string of murders in the capital threaten to bring Leo's past crashing into the present, shattering the fragile foundations of his new life in Moscow, and putting his daughter Zoya's life at risk. Faced with a threat to his family, Leo is launched on a desperate, personal mission that will take him to the harsh Siberian Gulags, to the depths of the hidden criminal underworld, and into the heart of Budapest and the Hungarian uprising. Members Reviews: Love this author Wonderful to return to the characters and the world created in Smith's first novel, Child 44, which really rocked me. Not quite as strong as the first work, but still a terrific read. Hope he continues to develop this into a full character series - I'd jump on the next one, if there is one. NIcely tied into real events The author did his research and tied this work of fiction relatively well into historically significant events, like Kruschev's "Secret Speech" of 1956 and into the Hungarian Revolution of the same year. I didn't know about these historical events until I listened to the book, and did a bit of research afterwards. I feel both entertained and feel like I learned something - I am left impressed with this piece of historical fiction. Disappointing Followup I was not as enamored with this effort by Tom Rob Smith as I was with his Child 44. No matter what trauma beset Leo, he had an amazing resilience. The motivations of several characters in the book were not believable. I got the feeling that the story could have ended at any time and there would have not been much less resolution as there was when the book actually did end. If you haven't listened to anything by Smith and want to give one of his books a try, go with Child 44. And then try another author. Solid sequel I didn't quite feel this one as much as I did Child 44. The stakes weren't quite as high and it dragged a bit in the middle. But it was good to spend more time with Leo. But I enjoyed the book both as a thrill ride and as a look at the immediate post Stalin Russia. But I hope Smith's next novel has a case that feels more urgent. If you enjoyed Child 44 don't think twice and buy As many declared that this story is not as brilliant as Child 44, but it is a very good one. 75% of the novel will keep you in the edge with heart beating events, but at the end of the book the pace become slower and it become more like an insight about history (so if you like reading history this is an extra bonus for you). The narrator is very good. No major complaints, I just couldn't get in the mood with him 100%, but I blame myself here, it seems I am not so fond of the Russian accent. Listen to the sample. I highly recommend this book and I enjoyed it... don't waste it. Smile :)

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 1044 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: In the vein of John le Carré and Graham Greene, this contemporary international thriller follows Milo Weaver as he is drawn into a conspiracy that links riots in the Sudan, an assassin committing suicide, and an old friend who's been accused of selling secrets to the Chinese. Once the CIA and Homeland Security are after him, the only way for him to survive is to return, headfirst, into Tourism. ©2009 Olen Steinhauer (P)2009 Blackstone Audio, Inc. Critic Reviews: "[Weaver] is the perfect hero for such a richly nuanced tale." ( Booklist)"Superbly accomplished at both plotting and characterization....highly recommended." ( Library Journal) Members Reviews: I loved this book I loved this book. I mostly listen to audiobooks while driving and found that I was glad to sit at red lights and run errands across town for more listening time with this story. "Spy tales focused on international deception in the post 9/11 world" according to Steinhauer's web site. That's a good description. I am really looking forward to the next book in the Milo Weaver saga. The narrator does a great job. His "female voices" were sometimes a bit much, but overall listening to this narrator was a pleasure. A book not for dummies This is a first rate novel, but I will tell you (what might appear arrogantly) that this book is NOT written for a person who needs to be led by the nose through the intricate twists and turns of a spy novel. It is complex and a review of the plot would be difficult. Suffice it to say that I believe you will find it very enjoyable. Our hero... the tourist (a CIA field officer)... is not at all what he seems to be. Perfect for a spy, of course! The cracks in his veneer are clear for all to see. Seldom do a spy's family take part in a spy novel... except peripherally... but here, they merge nicely into a subplot and are active characters. They are likable. There are numerous changes in time, in character and you must pay attention. The reader had a nasty job with this book because of those many characters, their positions and their nationalities... and I think he did a credible job. This book is not intuitive. It requires the concentration that readers of a John LeCarre novel must have in order to enjoy it. By no means though is it LeCarre. Not better... not worse... just really good. You may eventually see the final direction of this novel, but you sure won't see it until the last hour or so... and even then, it will surprise you. This is my first read of this author... and when I finish this review, I'll try another. As so often is true, pay NO attention to the "Publisher's Summary". It is nonsense and must have been written either by a complete idiot or a person who never read the book. It damns it with faint praise. It is better than the summary. I gave it 5 stars. I expect you will like it also. Old school international espionage A very good spy novel, lots of twists and turns, very solid plot, dialog and writing. This story is narrated well and had an ending that is suspenseful and out of the grasp of predictability and so is a fun ending. The story stays within the bounds of believability and takes the reader on a trip through Europe and other exotic locals mingling with other "tourists" the nomenclature for spys in this novel. If you like international espionage then this would be a book you would enjoy.

Title: The Sanctuary Author: Ted Dekker Narrator: Henry Leyva, Rebecca Soler Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 1 min Language: English Release date: 10-30-12 Publisher: Hachette Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 180 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: The Sanctuary is the gripping story of vigilante priest, Danny Hansen, who is now serving a 50 year prison term in California for the murder of two abusive men. Filled with remorse, Danny is determined to live out his days by a code of non-violence and maneuvers deftly within a ruthless prison system. But when Renee Gilmore, the woman he loves, receives a box containing a bloody finger and draconian demands from a mysterious enemy on the outside, Danny must find a way to escape. They are both drawn into a terrifying game of life and death. If Renee fails, the priest will die; if Danny fails, Renee will die. And the body count will not stop at two. The Sanctuary is Ted Dekker at his best, a powerful thriller that relentlessly plumbs the depths of punishment and rehabilitation, both in a flawed corrections system and in the human heart. Members Reviews: Sent Shivers up My Spine Prisons will break a man's spirit. 23 hours a day in a cell with very little positive social contact. The very thought is enough to keep me on the straight and narrow, but in Ted Dekker's twisted mind it is not enough fear. Ted had to add a warden with a God complex and the authority to enforce it. Prisoners at the Sanctuary are not just locked up but are indoctrinated into a system that has one leader and that leader is God to them. Torture, mind control, and life are all just games to the warden. I did not know jail could be any scarier but the Sanctuary is. Here is a torture technique for you sadistic readers out there. Take a drill and drill into the nerves of the shin bone. That is the kind of pain that your whole body feels. The Sanctuary is a good book for those who want to read a really spooky book. Some of the story is very hard to believe and takes some getting used to. The main female character was always reffered to as a strong women, but I thought she was week and annoying. You will find yourself rooting for the male main character who comes close many times to breaking his vow of non violence. In the end he finds a way to justify violence and non violence. The book is a strong 4.0. Save your credit - I couldn't get through it. Would you try another book from Ted Dekker and/or Henry Leyva and Rebecca Soler ? Not Rebecca Soler - she was awful! Would you be willing to try another one of Henry Leyva and Rebecca Soler s performances? No Any additional comments? I really wanted to like this book; I like alot of Ted Dekker's books. The Sanctuary just isn't one of them. I'm not sure why the whole book had to be G-Rated, after all most of the book took place in prison! The female narrator's voice sounded as if she were barely in high school and her cadence was way off. First book I could not finish. Would you try another book from Ted Dekker and/or Henry Leyva and Rebecca Soler ? I think this would be a great book but I could not accept the reader for Renee. I slog through books when the reader does not capture me but this reader was totally miscast. I can imagine her in other books BUT not this one. Passes time Would you consider the audio edition of The Sanctuary to be better than the print version? No.

Killing Floor is the first book in the internationally popular Jack Reacher series. It presents Reacher for the first time, as the tough ex-military cop of no fixed abode: a righter of wrongs, the perfect action hero. Jack Reacher jumps off a bus and walks 14 miles down a country road into Margrave, Georgia. An arbitrary decision he's about to regret. Reacher is the only stranger in town on the day they have had their first homicide in 30 years. The cops arrest Reacher, and the police chief turns eyewitness to place him at the scene. As nasty secrets leak out and the body count mounts, one thing is for sure. They picked the wrong guy to take the fall. Members Reviews: Brilliant Thought Id try something new. So decided to go back 20 years with the first Jack Reacher story and I was not disappointed! Gripping from the get go - good reading performance (Im quite fussy about the voices on Audible) and great continuous story I was never bored. So happy now as I have loads more to listen to Great book A great book however I'm must say as much as I love Lee childs passion for Jack reacher I feel that if it isn't narrates by Jeff harding then I simply cannot listen to it. The two go hand in hand. Jack reacher is simply fantastic Great story Enjoyable and entertaining. Great story, characters a little predictable good guy always wins etc... but great pace and narration. Very windy Poor story line - massive amount if padding 10 minutes of trying to find someone at an airport. Overall not a classic. Narration awful For me the narration was awful, sounded like he was reading a list, I get that the characters attitude was mater of fact, but really.... only made two chapters, and returned this and the next two. Shame

One of Sarah's daughters died. But can she be sure which one? A year after one of their identical twin daughters Lydia dies in an accident, Angus and Sarah Moorcroft move to the tiny Scottish island Angus inherited from his grandmother, hoping to put together the pieces of their shattered lives. But when their surviving daughter Kirstie claims they have mistaken her identity - that she, in fact, is Lydia - their world comes crashing down once again. As winter encroaches, Angus is forced to travel away from the island for work, Sarah is feeling isolated, and Kirstie (or is it Lydia?) is growing more disturbed. When a violent storm leaves Sarah and her daughter stranded, they are forced to confront what really happened on that fateful day. Members Reviews: Interesting Story--Too Much Rumination This book really only becomes chilling at the very end. Otherwise, it's a story about miscommunication that makes the reader want to shriek to the protagonists, "Just say what you mean!" None of the main characters is especially sypathetic except the dog. The pace can be maddeningly glacial, largely because the central character spends an enormous amount of time paraphrasing her thoughts. The narration is good. Good read that just missed being brilliant Maybe this is one of those rare books that's better read than listened to. Whatever the reason, in spite of terrific narration ( wonderful accents) and evocative descriptive prose, the dialog thwarted me at every turn. Why not simply embrace the supernatural angle and go with that?? I found I had to repeat sections often to keep track of which twin was "active". Probably worth another listen down the road sometime. This could have been great .. but so slow A good story was spoiled by being so slow. Good narration saved it to a certain extent. Unlike some reviewers I did find a sympathetic character - I will not say who or why as it may spoil the book for another reader, let's just say that the author did a much better job creating male characters as nearly all the females were not the people I would want to sit down with a glass of wine with. As for the reactions of the school in Skye - implausible to say the least! Listen with caution... Ok, first of all, it is misleading to compare this book to Gone Girl or The Girl On The Train. Second, being slow in parts and annoying because of the children's voices, I only finished it so that I could give a proper review, having survived to the end. And Im glad I did, because it only redeemed itself in the VERY end. Now, the review: The narrators were VERY talented. All of the voices and dialects were so complicated and they did a great job of doing their job, which was to read the story with meaning and gravity. But OH SO ANNOYING were the childrens voices, like nails on a chalkboard. So bad that it made me wish I had read the story instead of listened to it. FRUSTRATED was how I felt the whole time I was listening to this book (save the last 20 mins). Maybe it was the inflection of the voices, always anxious and hysterical or breathless and whispery. But I digress. The story is hard to relate to the whole time, be it the choices of the adults or the thoughts/words of the kids.

The narrator was great. ice cold thriller If you don't like snow or the freezing cold, this book probably isn't for you. MacLean combines the atmosphere of both Greenland and a murder mystery where survivors of a plane crash and their rescuers endure a desperate struggle to survive in Arctic conditions, knowing killers are among them. Terrific story. Aged well Despite being written so many years ago, this remains an exciting adventure story. Where the attitudes of yesteryear do show through , its almost charming.

On an impulse, they go off with newfound friends in search of one of their group, the young German who, in pursuit of a girl, has headed for the remote Mayan ruins, site of a fabled archeological dig. This is what happens from the moment the searchers, moving into the wild interior, begin to suspect that there is an insidious, horrific "other" among them. Critic Reviews: "A stunning horror thriller." (Publishers Weekly "The book of the summer....Smith intends to scare the bejabbers out of you, and succeeds." (Stephen King) "If you love ABC's Lost and the novels of King and Thomas Harris, you'll love this book." (USA Today) Members Reviews: waste If you want to throw your money away buy this book, otherwise keep looking. The names misleading-I thought the book would be fun from the discription but found the only thing in ruin was my time. Boring, drawn out and inane. I drive truck for a living and listen to alot of books on tape and this was one of the worst I have listened to. No ruined citys or temples, no ghosts demons or even monsters. I wont give away the storyline but buy this at your own risk. Appallingly dull I can't quite decide what the worst part of this book is - the uninteresting one-dimensional characters or their endless internal dialogue - the lack of suspense or the idiotic plot. Or maybe it was the endless repetition of certain phrases, the almost word-for-word descriptions, and the maddening sameness of each chararacter's separate musings. I was also disappointed that there was nothing much at all about ancient Mayan culture or archeological sites despite the setting of the story. The reader did a good job without anything to work with. That is the only positive comment to be made. He can have the one star for his part in this creation. Disappointing at best This is my first review after listening to hundreds of books at Audible. I just finished it, so maybe I am little too charged up to be objective, but I feel I have wasted a lot of time and a credit trying to give this book a chance. Not being a big fan of the Horror genre, I was intrigued by the publisher's blurb and decided to give this book a shot, even though it was too new to have any reviews written about it. A little risky, but I thought, how bad could it be? At the very least it will be entertaining and something to while away a long commute. --I was mistaken. I did finish it, hoping for a satisfying end, and was, alas, even disappointed in that. The book started out slowly, building the characters, but seemed to lack an in depth understanding of what makes a character truly compelling. The authors descriptive ability is rudimentary at best. I never felt attached to any of the characters even as they were dying one by one. He did do a fair job of internal dialog, giving some insight to their actions but nothing was really outstanding here either, and I grew tired of xxxx, knew what to say, but didnt. The plot was nearly laughable and anything but creepy or eerie. There were some definite gaping holes in the groups feeble attempts to figure out their dilemma, and a general lack of demonstrated terror for what these people were facing. The characters were too one dimensional and lacked any real sense of desperation.

The season had begun. Débutantes and chaperones were planning their luncheons, teas, dinners, balls. And the blackmailer was planning his strategies, stalking his next victim. But Chief Detective Inspector Roderick Alleyn knew that something was up. He had already planted his friend, Lord Robert Gospell, at the scene. But someone else got there first.... Critic Reviews: "The brilliant Ngaio Marsh ranks with Agatha Christie and Dorothy Sayers." (Times Literary Supplement) "Ngaio Marshs Death in a White Tie is the best detective story I have ever read..." (Dashiell Hammett) "[This audiobook has] a distinction that puts the author in the front rank of crime story writers." (Times Literary Supplement) Members Reviews: Terrible sound quality ruins the experience Ngaio Marsh and Inspector Alleyn are as reliable as ever in this mystery, and I don't feel much need to review the story itself. If you enjoy Ngaio Marsh novels, include this in your reading, it's a no brainer. Unfortunately this narrator is not so great, and the sound quality of the recording is atrocious, which makes this overall a mixed review. First of all, the narrator James Saxon does a good enough job of speaking clearly and getting pauses, inflections, and pronunciations correct. And he does possess the capacity for a wide range of character voices. But he's not disciplined enough in their use to make it a great rading. As noted by others, he is hit and miss about giving the characters distinctive voices consistently, and the accent of one character often bleeds into surrounding prose or even other characters' lines. So, when you have a choice among narrators for a Ngaio Marsh title, I would definitely recommend Nadia May over James Saxon, and Philip Franks did a frankly masterful job on the title he narrated. Finally, the recording quality here is downright atrocious. It's not just a matter of some general noisiness common to 90s-era and earlier audiobooks that were recorded or archived on tape. That's annoying, but one gets past it relatively quickly. In the case of this book however, chapter by chapter there are variations in volume levels, background hiss, and recording quality. Some chapters sound like a 70s-era cassette recording of a 30s era radio broadcast. Even then, if the quality were consistently bad, it would be one thing, but it jumps around and every time it gets worse, you get more annoyed. This is just plain bad product, and that makes it all the more enraging that Audible is charging a premium price. I expect an $18 audiobook to be a new recording, or a really excellent older recording. But this is just terrible, and Audible shouldn't be charging more than five bucks for it. One of my favorites; terrible sound in place For me, Ngaio Marsh's early books, where Roderick Alleyn and later Agatha Troy are more involved in the story, not just the investigation, are the best. Alleyn investigates the murder of a close friend and during the case meets Troy again. Their romance is a subdued but satisfying part of the story. Normally I enjoy James Saxon's reading but at times his transition between characters was not clear.

Naturally they choose a Mystery Lovers cruise, where they can ponder whodunnit in deck chairs while sipping colorful drinks and soaking up some rays. But the fun is cut short when a fellow passenger is murdered for real. Is the killer a famous mystery author, one of his fans, or a member of the ship's crew? As Tricia tries to find the killer before they reach port, she may be cruising for a bruising... Critic Reviews: "Diverting entertainmentan engaging story line, an intrepid heroine... good for lovers of intrigue." ( Richmond Times-Dispatch) Members Reviews: Very Disappointing What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you? Better writing and a better performer Has Title Wave turned you off from other books in this genre? Just from this author Would you be willing to try another one of Karen Whites performances? Absolutely not What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment? Disappointment for sure. The setting was very promising--a cruise with authors and readers. Heck, I would sign up for that. But the characters were so over the top. I suspect a lot of this was due to the performer--almost every character was delivered in a haughty voice, except for the Italians, who sounded like they'd walked out of 1950s Central Casting. Such heavy accents! But the writing was also very overdone. It's enough to tell me that one character sat at the table with another. I don't need to know that she pulled out the chair, smoothed her dress, and sat down. The whole book is full of these unnecessary details, except when it comes to the mystery, which is only solved after a vital piece of information is revealed in the last few chapters. So disappointing, and frustrating, are the reactions the book sparked. Any additional comments? I guess one positive is that I keep listening till the end. And another is that the central characters grew on me a little bit. But not enough to follow their further adventures. Addictive!! I have listened to the ENTIRE series 5 times and I love it more eachtime. This volume didn't disappoint! I love all the characters and the narrator's voice is perfect for this series. Going by the sounds of the ending there's still more to come...Woohoo Lorna Barrett I couldn't finish it Would you try another book from Lorna Barrett and/or Karen White? I may read a book, but I can't listen to one anymore . This is only the second book I have ever bought and not finished. Would you ever listen to anything by Lorna Barrett again? No Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Karen White? Anyone else..everyone sounded the same You didnt love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities? I can't think of any Any additional comments? This book sounded like the Love Boat with exaggerated and made up names. The characters relationships were hard to follow. I thought it would get better when the character was murdered, but I lost interest even more. At the beginning I was at least trying to follow along, but by then I was so uninterested that I quit listening even though it was still playing.

Title: The Codex Author: Douglas Preston Narrator: Scott Sowers Format: Abridged Length: 6 hrs and 39 mins Language: English Release date: 01-15-04 Publisher: Macmillan Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 422 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: At first, robbery is suspected, but the truth proves stranger: as a final challenge to his three sons, Broadbent has buried himself and his treasure somewhere in the world, hidden away like an ancient Egyptian pharaoh. If the sons wish to claim their fabulous inheritance, they must find their father's carefully concealed tomb. The race is on, but the three brothers are not the only ones competing for the treasure. With half a billion dollars at stake, as well as an ancient Mayan codex that may hold a cure for cancer and other deadly diseases, others soon join the hunt; and some of them will stop at nothing to claim the grave goods. The best-selling coauthor of such page-turning thrillers as Relic and The Cabinet of Curiosities, Douglas Preston now spins an unforgettable tale of greed, adventure, and betrayal. Critic Reviews: "Preston flies high and fast, turning in a briskly involving science-based thriller." (Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: I thouroughly enjoyed it !! I'm not sure why the previous two reviews were so critical. I read the book first and loved it. I then bought the Audiobook and enjoyed it as well. I must admit that the unabriddged version will be better, but which on isn't? Anyway, I have a fondness for books written by Douglas Preston as well as those by Lincoln Child (Utopia). The ones written by both of them are simply awesome. My favorites, Relic and Thunderhead, are not available at Audible for some reason. Give this one a try. If you like the stuff of the Indiana Jones movies, you should enjoy this audiobook. It's not the best book ever, but it is a really good way to spend 5+ hours. Fun in the Jungle It's a fun, fast paced story. But at times just too far fetched. The sequel Tyrannosaurus Canyon is a better listen. Excellent descriptive narrative, so-so thriller I'd rate it 3.5. The novel is well-written and filled with details that evoke the Honduras location. It makes for a vivid read, but I'm sure it could bog down for some readers. As for the mystery, I did not find too many surprises; but, the story remained relatively compelling. I was drawn mostly into the character of Tom, more than the other 2 brothers. The villain was almost too villainous, a little over the top. The best character is Borabay ... I'll let your imagination take it from here. Not The Full Book This version is missing several parts that were in the book, but is still good. Good fun This Indian Jones type story was fun, I stumbled across the main character Tom Broadbent in a subsequent novel (Tyrannasaur Canyon). I found his backstory as told in this book compelling. The brothers are an interesting dynamic. I found the story interesting, if at times predictable. A fun read all around.

When she is found dead in her bathtub, a handwritten suicide note left on her bed, her parents insist that their daughter would never take her own life. But Julias enviable world was more complicated than it seemed. The pressure to excel at Casden was enormous. Abuse of prescription antidepressants and ADHD medication ran rampant among students; an unlabeled bottle of pills in Julias purse suggests she had succumbed to the trend. And a search of Julias computer reveals that in the days leading up to her death she was engaged in a dangerous game of cyberbullying against an unlikely victim. NYPD detective Ellie Hatcher is convinced the case is a suicide, but she knows from personal experience that a loving family can be the last to accept the truth. When the Whitmires use their power to force a criminal investigation, Ellies resistance causes trouble for her both at work and in her personal life. As she is pressured to pursue a case she doesnt believe in, she is pulled into Julias inner circle an eclectic mix of overly precocious teenagers from Manhattans most privileged families as well as street kids from Greenwich Village. But when the target of Julias harassment continues to receive death threats, Ellie is forced to acknowledge that Julia may have learned the hard way that some secrets should never be told. Members Reviews: Is it suicide or murder? The writing ability of Alafair Burke shine through in this book. Ellie Hatcher appears to be off her game in this story. She fails to call what looks like a suicide a murder and also most allows innocent people be convicted but in the end she is back on her game and solves the problems. This story shows the big gulf between rich teenager and poor teenagers lives and ethics. The story has three stories running at the same time but Burke manages to balance them all without making the reader feel disjointed. If you enjoy a good murder mystery you will enjoy this book. Eliza Foss does a good job narrating the story. No 4 Detective Ellie Hatcher series This is the fourth in the police Detective Ellie Hatcher series. Ellie and her partner are called to an apartment in New York Citys exclusive area. A 16-year-old girl, Julia, is found dead in the bathtub, her wrist slashed. Everyone, the paramedics, the patrol officers, and the detectives, all believe that it is a suicide. Julias parents insist it isnt suicide and must be murder and continue to be in the way of the police, but they are successful in keeping the investigation going. Ellie is introduced to a world of precocious and privileged teens, as well as a world involving homeless teens from the West Village. Connected in some way to Julias suicide or possible murder is a blog being written by an anonymous blogger who is telling all about the rape and molestation she suffered 20 years previously as a child. But someone starts leaving comments on her web site including real threats of danger. Its a good book, well written as usual. Good story. Great build up. Interesting end. Unexpected turns. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a murder mystery. Enough twists to keep my attention. Ellie Hatcher is new to me, but now I have to find out if there more.

The Harder They Come Audiobook by T.C. Boyle

Boyle Narrator: Graham Hamilton Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 21 mins Language: English Release date: 03-31-15 Publisher: HarperAudio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 719 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: Acclaimed New York Times best-selling author T.C. Boyle makes his Ecco debut with a powerful, gripping novel that explores the roots of violence and antiauthoritarianism inherent in the American character. Set in contemporary Northern California, The Harder They Come explores the volatile connections between three damaged people - an aging ex-marine and Vietnam veteran, his psychologically unstable son, and the son's paranoid, much older lover - as they careen toward an explosive confrontation. On a vacation cruise to Central America with his wife, 70-year-old Sten Stensen unflinchingly kills a gun-wielding robber menacing a busload of senior tourists. The reluctant hero is relieved to return home to Fort Bragg, California, after the ordeal - only to find that his delusional son, Adam, has spiraled out of control. Adam has become involved with Sara Hovarty Jennings, a hardened member of the Sovereign Citizens' Movement, right-wing anarchists who refuse to acknowledge the laws and regulations of the state, considering them to be false and nonapplicable. Adam's senior by some 15 years, Sara becomes his protector and inamorata. As Adam's mental state fractures, he becomes increasingly schizophrenic - a breakdown that leads him to shoot two people in separate instances. On the run, he takes to the woods, spurring the biggest manhunt in California history. As he explores a father's legacy of violence and his powerlessness in relating to his equally violent son, T. C. Boyle offers unparalleled psychological insights into the American psyche. Inspired by a true story, The Harder They Come is a devastating and indelible novel from a modern master. Members Reviews: Intense, gripping, absorbing This is one of those books that grabs you and doesn't let go. It's close to a thriller, a fast-moving meditation on the theme of social and personal alienation. The three main characters: a 70-year-old recently-retired Vietnam vet, his disturbed son, and his son's older lover, a far-right woman who denies the legitimacy of state and federal government. Each is experiencing profound alienation, and their actions in response propel the plot. The writing is excellent, the story is involving, and the narration is well done. It's not going to make you feel much better about humanity, but it's well worth the listen. Based on a true story I live in Northern California where the events that this book is based on played out. It was a scary situation and the local media could focus on nothing else at the time. I am a T.C. Boyle fan, and familiar with the story, but I thought I would pass on this book. I was tempted though, so listened to the sample, at which point I became hooked! This book is a very good read from page one through the finish. The story pulls you right in and never lets you go. Graham Hamilton does a great job of narrating. This is T.C. Boyle's 25th book, and I hope he keeps right on writing. He is a master. Harder to Finish A most depressing read with bleak, static characterization and an anticlimactic conclusion. I honestly kept waiting, hoping for a twist, an enlightening moment, but neither ever came! atmospheric Definitely not a feel-good book. It did keep me listening in spite of it being so depressing.

Title: The Ninth Step Subtitle: John Milton, Book 8 Author: Mark Dawson Narrator: David Thorpe Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 1 min Language: English Release date: 03-08-16 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 274 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: John Milton is a former assassin for the British government. He is a ronin, trying to atone for his past sins by offering his services to those people who have no one else to whom they can turn. Milton is keeping a low profile in London when he meets Eddie Fabian. Fabian confesses that he is considering suicide and that the reason for his depression was the abuse that he suffered as a child. Milton offers to help, but, before he can, Eddie is found dead in circumstances that Milton considers suspicious. And then events take a turn that no one could have anticipated.... Milton's attempted good deed becomes a quest to unveil corruption at the highest levels of government and murder at the dark heart of the criminal underworld. Milton is pulled back into the game, and that's going to have serious consequences for everyone who crosses his path. Cover design by Stuart Bache. Members Reviews: a bit slow but nice to have John Milton back! Milton is back in London, and thankfully why he left Australia and Matilda is explained, although I think if he truly loved her he could have found something else to do so as to stay with her. Maybe she wasn't willing to make any changes. Anyway... Three years on the wagon and John is struggling with AA's Twelve Steps. You see, the ninth step is to make restitution to those you have harmed, and John can't do that because all the people he wronged are dead. Nor can he divulge his wrongs to any of his new friends, or anyone for that matter. The first long part of the book sets up the background for the action and retribution to come next. Even though it does go on a long time, we like Milton and his life is interesting even if he isn't throwing his special forces training around all the time. There are several things happening in the story and John steps in to help out, all the while arranging that HE be invisible in the end. Some of the stories become cleverly intertwined, and justice gets sorted out. Two plot points that didn't sit well were first, why the journalist confided in John so fully when they first met, and second, not much was made of the bad cop. The journalist seemed really astute but twice behaved foolishly naively. The bad cop story just quietly ended. However, in the end Milton did save a number of people, dealt justice for a wrongful death, and seems to have found some compromise and peace in how he will continue to handle the ninth step. Not the best John Milton thriller I had a decision to make this morning as three books I had pre-ordered were released including this one. Since the Kindle version of The Ninth Step was released several weeks ago and had an average customer rating of 4.8 stars I selected it. I am a huge Mark Dawson fan, but after listening to the first 6 hours I was tempted to return the audiobook without finishing it. It was slow, excessively wordy, and boring. Then things changed and from there on it deserves a solid 5 star rating. I'm down rating the book to 4 stars because of its slow and boring start. The "ninth step" in the title refers to the 9th step in the Alcoholics Anonymous 12 step program; Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.

A soldier is found dead in a sleazy motel bed. Jack Reacher is the officer on duty. The soldier turns out to be a two-star general. The situation is bad enough, then Reacher finds the general's wife. This stomach-churning thriller turns back the clock to a younger Reacher, in dogtags. A Reacher who still believes in the service. A Reacher who imposes army discipline. Even if only in his own pragmatic way... Members Reviews: Fascinating "Origins of Jack Reacher" novel "The Enemy", the ninth Jack Reacher book, takes us back to January 1990, just after the fall of the Berlin Wall, when Reacher was a Major in the Military Police. One of the things I enjoyed about the previous book, "The Persuader" was the glimpses it gave me of who Jack Reacher was when he was in the Army. It left me hungry for more. Perhaps it had the same impact on Lee Child because "The Enemy is set entirely in Reacher's Army past. "The Enemy" is a sort of "Origins of Wolverine" book. it deepened my understanding of how the Jack Reacher I met in the previous books came to be the way he is. "The Enemy" explores how the US Army works via an investigation into the death of General. The plot is tight, complex and satisfying, spiced by conflicts with an asshole superior officer with an agenda and a larger mystery around a coordinated but unexplained large-scale re-assignment of Special Unit MPs. I know nothing of the US Army other than what I've seen of their bases in Germany and the UK but I found Child's depiction of it convincing and compelling: the sheer scale of the organization as it was back then, the way bases are the same everywhere in the world, right down to the menus in the Officers' Club, the power of rank, the freedom to work the system, the complete lack of control on where and under whom you will serve. I enjoyed seeing Reacher outside the US, in Germany (where the US bases make everything seem as close to home as possible) and France in which Reacher, son of a French woman, seems more at home than in North Carolina. I was fascinated to see how Reacher behaved with his older brother, a man who was killed in the first Jack Reacher book, "Killing Floor" and who's ghostwad evoked in the sixth book "Without Fail" when Reacher is approached by his brother's ex-girl friend. Reacher in 1990 seemed less damaged and less lost than the Reacher in the other books. The Army and his family give him stability and a sense of purpose. It becomes clear how the loss of these things would change him for the worse. But the 1990 Reacher is still recognisable. The things that make him scary are already present: his tendency towards violent confrontation, his inablity to let things go, his habit of using others to achieve his own agenda and his willingness to appoint himself as both judge and executioner. The things that prevent me from writing him off as a psychotic thug are also there: hisdrive to do the right thing, his willingness to take the consequences for his actions and his strong desire to keep the Army the way he thinks it should be. "The Enemy" is a well-written period criminal investigation novel that would be attractive as a stand-alone novel.

The young woman, Anna Petrescu, takes advantage of being missing and presumed dead in the days after 9/11 to escape from New York City, only to be pursued by both the FBI and a ruthless assassin across the globe, from Toronto to London, to Hong Kong, Tokyo, and Bucharest. But it is only when she finally returns to New York that the mystery unravels. In his first thriller since The Eleventh Commandment, international best-selling author Jeffrey Archer takes the listener on a breathtaking journey, full of twists and turns, all leading back to the question of why so many people are willing to risk their lives to own Van Gogh's Self Portrait with Bandaged Ear. And it's not just because it could be worth one hundred million dollars. Critic Reviews: "Archer's writing skills have not deteriorated over the years." (Booklist) Members Reviews: Very disappointing I've never read an Archer that I haven't liked -- except for this one. Something was missing. It was too predictable; there was no twist, no sudden surprises. If this is your first foray into Archer thrillers, don't start here. Try his older books first. Archer is a fine storyteller but this one will only leave you with a false impression. Couldn't Get Past the Accents This may very well be a great book, but I couldn't listen to more than about 30 minutes. I couldn't stand the accents used for the main characters. The narration was inconsistent. At times, it seemed very monotone, and at other times it seems rushed. I just stopped listening. Then, when I picked up a copy of the book at the store, I couldn't read it without hearing those same accents in my head!! It's a shame, it seems like it would have been a pretty good book. uneven This is my first Archer read. I expected more than the book delivered. The main character, Anna, was a good character but as often happens in this kind of book is asked to do more than she possibly could. But predictably she does it all and her considerable expertise as a Romanian PhD art historian/auctioneer serves her well for high stakes dectective work. The story moved fast enough to keep your interest. Two parts of the book were constant irritants for me. First, villains are supposed to be bad guys but I can't remember a matched set of male and female villains with so many faults and absolutely no redeeming qualities. Second, the narrator seemed to weave a slight Irish accent into every character. Worth the read but expect some unevenness. Great Couldn't put it down, even years later, fast moving, well read, new app for windows is crap OMG! The accents! First, I should say that I do not write reviews very often. Second, I must say I am a big fan of J. Archer, the author. The book was good - cute and somewhat predictable - but good. On to the bad. The narration was horrible ... awful ... the worst I have ever heard ... ever. The narrator was trying to do a Romanian accent, but ended up sounding like a cross between an Irish lilt and mid-western Norwegian. He attempted to do a Japanese accent, failed miserably. I really do not know what the producers were thinking.

But Michal Grabowski is running from a Pittsburgh cocaine dealer intent on killing him in a slow and painful manner, and Key West is the end of the road. Retired Marine Jesse McDermitt enjoys the summer heat and quiet solitude of his tiny island home in the back country. When Jesse discovers that Michal's would-be killer is connected to recent murders in the Bahamas, he agrees to help the young man. Jesse doesn't like murderers, smelly crack monsters or drug dealers running amok in his territory. Particularly when one of them was responsible for the destruction of his charter boat. Between a running gun battle with a group of cow hunters stretching from Key West Bight to the Everglades, a shotgun-toting Key West tarot card reader, a retired Jamaican mystic, and a rising body count, there's little time for Jesse to just relax and watch the sun go down. Members Reviews: Usual High Standard Another outstanding book from Stinnett. The characters have develop well over the series, and friends who I have recommended the first book to are now deeper into the series. The performance is great, transition between characters is flawless, although some accents are a bit off, (the Australian needs some work) that doesn't take anything away from Sullivan's consistently high and engaging narration. I've left off one star off as there is always room for improvement, hopefully it'll push Stinnett to carry on and write more. Another excellent Jesse McDermitt novel! Fallen Honor is novel #7 in the Jesse McDermitt series by Wayne Stinnett. It is an outstanding action thriller. Nick Sullivan's narration is superb. Nick Sullivan is terrific! Nick Sullivan's performances in this series have been consistently terrific, putting the listener right into Stinnett's entertaining stories.

Together they execute a hostile takeover of Human Resources, Inc., the "placement agency" that trains young assassins to infiltrate corporations disguised as interns and knock off high-profile targets. As HR's former top operatives, they are successful until conflicting management styles cause an ugly breakup that locks John out of the bedroom and the boardroom. But when Alice takes on a new HR target, John is forced to return to the office battlefield in a role he swore he would never play again: the intern. What starts out as a deadly showdown turns into the two of them fighting side by side to save HR, Inc. - and their marriage. "Those who like Dexter will love John Lago" (Booklist), and in Shane Kuhn's sequel to The Intern's Handbook, listeners will be rooting for this smart, witty antihero to come out on top. Members Reviews: Ultra entertaining from start to finish! I listen to a lot of audio books but have never felt compelled to write a review until now. This title was so entertaining and well written and narrated, I spent extra time just sitting in my car at the supermarket listening! The writing is tight and clever, the plot unexpected, and unique. By far the most suspenseful and exciting assassin novel I've listened to. I highly recommend this book for anyone who likes the genre, and likes that Kill Bill style whimsy. Power in well thought out Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How? I enjoyed the banter between Mr. and Mrs. Hitman. The hotel setting on the weeding day and the explosive nature of what happens is really best seller material. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? Love Hits the Hitmen Tons of fun and builds on a great storyline Another fun John Lago story. The John and Alice are back with a few new characters as they navigate the world of assassinations and double cross at HR Inc. I thought the books was just as fun as the first one with a few more twists and turns, and while the plot stays on tasks and has a good amount of action and plot development. I wish there was a bit more reminiscing from John about some of his past jobs which I though was interesting (maybe his greatest hits book is coming next). The writing is great and really makes you feel connected with the story and the characters. I hope there is more to come in the series! Mr Simonelli does a great job with the narration. He really brings the characters to life and adds to the overall enjoyment of this book! A great sequel! If you're thinking of buying this book, you MUST buy "intern's Handbook" first! Else you won't be in on everything going on. The author gives a general overview, but the first book is definitely entertaining. Having said that, I loved this book! Always great characters, more James Bond action (suspend your belief for a while), and plot with lots of twists. Again, great narration.

Title: Stone Monkey Subtitle: A Lincoln Rhyme Novel Author: Jeffery Deaver Narrator: William Dufris Format: Unabridged Length: 15 hrs and 16 mins Language: English Release date: 04-12-16 Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 162 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: The follow-up to Jeffery Deaver's massive best seller The Bone Collector (now a feature film starring Angelina Jolie and Denzel Washington), Stone Monkey is a "simply outstanding" (San Jose Mercury News) addition to the Lincoln Rhyme series! First introduced in the spine-chilling novel The Bone Collector, Lincoln Rhyme dazzled listeners with unparalleled forensic sleuthing - all done from the confines of a wheelchair. A famed criminologist paralyzed from the neck down, Rhyme compensates for his physical disability with his brains - and the arms and legs of his brilliant and beautiful protégée, Amelia Sachs. It is Amelia who "walks the grid" for Rhyme, acting as his eyes and ears for the famously dangerous and difficult cases chronicled in Jeffery Deaver's best-selling novels The Bone Collector, The Coffin Dancer, and The Empty Chair. Now the awe-inspiring duo returns in Stone Monkey. Recruited to help the FBI and the Immigration and Naturalization Service perform the nearly impossible, Lincoln and Amelia manage to track down a cargo ship headed for New York City and carrying two dozen illegal Chinese immigrants as well as the notorious human smuggler and killer known as "the Ghost". But when the Ghost's capture goes disastrously wrong, Lincoln and Amelia find themselves in a race against time: to stop the Ghost before he can track down and murder the two surviving families who have escaped from the ship and vanished deep into the labyrinthine world of New York City's Chinatown. Members Reviews: Stick with One Narrator, PLEASE! I love Jeffrey Deaver but wish he could stick with one narrator. Mr. Dufris does a good job but his pronounciation of Ron Stiletto's name grinds on me each time he says it.. I think all other narrators say STILEETO, not like the knife. Otherwise, good job by author & narrator! Thanks! In love with the way Lincoln thinks! Every character is so well thought out. Amazing author! Can't put it down, except to sleep. Want Lincoln's voice back What did you love best about Stone Monkey? Narrator did a pretty good job, but I really missed the old Narrator, since to me that voice what the voice of Lincoln Rhyme! Story was awesome as usual since I love jeffery Deaver novels! Juvenile writing. How did the narrator detract from the book? Not the best, but what else can one do with such poor vocabulary and writing. Any additional comments? It's been a few years since I read a Deaver novel. The writing now seemed juvenile compared to the competition. Narration Check I'm a big fan of Lincoln & Amelia and have listened to or read many of the books in the series. I listened to this one out of order and cringed every time the narrator mispronounced "Sellitto". He dud an excellent job work the Chinese words and names, but should have checked the proper pronunciation if Lon Sellitto. I confess one of my pet peeves is narrators not learning how to properly pronounce names, places and other elements central to a book. I also found it hearing listening to the way Sunny's character was voiced. This is one book is recommend that Audible go back and re-record.

Title: The Preacher: Aces and Eights Subtitle: The Preacher Thriller Series, Book 2 Author: Ted Thackrey Jr. Narrator: Shawn Compton Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 5 mins Language: English Release date: 01-04-18 Publisher: Brash Books Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 6 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: If you love Jack Reacher...it's time you met The Preacher, the one-eyed ex-priest and Vietnam vet turned professional gambler who wanders the country seeking redemption. The Preacher is playing the highest stakes poker game ever dealt. His opponents are mobsters, arms dealers, and terrorists. The jackpot is an atomic bomb. And if he loses, the entire city of Las Vegas will be dealt the Dead Mans Hand. It's non-stop action and suspense featuring the most original hero in crime fiction. The nuclear noir sequel to the sensational novel, The Preacher, a finalist for the Edgar Award from the Mystery Writers of America. Members Reviews: Our favorite one-eyed poker playing vet is back. The Preacher is back. And in Aces & Eights the stakes truly get raised! (sorry couldn't resist) Bad pun aside, I'm being quite serious. Murder, mayhem, and even an atom bomb. As always, I'm going to avoid spoilers, but I will say the story is quite complex, so you'll definitely need to pay attention. While I enjoyed the book quite a bit, I must admit I enjoyed the first Preacher book more. Mr.Thackrey gets a bit wordy at times and there are a few chapters that feel more like info dumps than anything, which just seem to slow down the flow of the story. That being said, I'm still looking forward to the Preacher's next adventure. As with the previous Preacher novel, Shawn Compton is back and he once again does a great job bringing the story and characters to life. I received a copy of this audio title for free in exchange for an unbiased review. I love these books and this character! I listened to the first book in this series and was excited to have a chance to listen to this one. The Preacher is such a great character and so fascinating to listen to. His intelligence keeps me glued to the book because I absolutely love the way he reads everyone. I could only hope to someday have the patience he has learned to achieve. Shawn Compton performs perfectly. I could not imagine anyone else narrating these books. Book 2 was far more complex than the first one, but that didn't take anything away from it because I love twists, turns and mystery. You have to pay attention while reading or listening to this one. Trying to figure out the characters and listening to the thoughts of The Preacher as he was doing the same makes for a really good listen. I thoroughly enjoyed this well written book! I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher. Loved it! ! I have to be honest. This book was hard for me to put down. I read the first half right before bed (big mistake!) And the second half tonight, again right before bed. Ted Thackrey knows how to tell a story that keeps you visualizing just what is happening. By the end, my heart was pounding,.. If you enjoy a quick heart jolting thriller, Aces and Eights is the book for you "I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review." Can't get enough of this character! After listening and enjoying the first book in this series, I couldn't wait to get my ears around book two. It did not disappoint. The poker playing preacher is still wearing black and taking names, this time in Las Vegas.

Title: Borderline Author: Nevada Barr Narrator: Barbara Rosenblat Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 53 mins Language: English Release date: 04-15-09 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 610 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: The killings on Isle Royale have left Anna drained and haunted, her memories of her time with the wolf study group forever marred by the carnage on the island. Diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder, she is on administrative leave, per her superintendent's urging. Anna wonders if the leave might not be permanent, either by her own choice or that of the National Park Service. The one bright spot in Anna's life is Paul, her husband of less than a year. Hoping the warmth and the adventure of a raft trip in Big Bend National Park will lift her spirits, Paul takes Anna to southwest Texas, where the sun is hot and the Rio Grande is running high. The sheer beauty of the Chihuahuan Desert and the power of the river work their magic-until the raft is lost in the rapids and a young college student falls overboard, resulting in an even more grisly discovery. Caught in a strainer between two boulders and more dead than alive, is a pregnant woman, hair and arms tangled in the downed branches. Instead of the soul-soothing experience they'd longed for, Anna and Paul find themselves sucked into a labyrinth of intrigue that leads from the Mexican desert to the steps of the governor's Mansion in Austin, Texas. Members Reviews: Another hit How Anna survives all the torture her creator puts her through is miraculous. That aside, another great story - I listen to them all as read by the best, Barbara Rosenblat. One Flaw - reference to a John Deere Caterpillar is like calling a car a Honda Ford. Skill and Setting: an Almost Perfect Match Nevada Barr is much more than a very good "crime "genre novelist; she is one of the finest local colorists and imaginative-ly perceptive novelists in our literature. Her vivid descriptions of the national parks which are the settings of her novels and the very interesting psychological developmen of her her brilliantly conceived heroine Ranger Ann Pigeon make this among thle best of the series. Too Much of a Good Thing I was thrilled to see a new Anna Pigeon novel on audible.com, so I immediately downloaded "Borderline". But after about half of Part 1 I am disappointed. Usually the author mixes in good character development, history, and introspection with all the high danger scenes but this novel is way too heavy on the action/adventure stuff. The back-to-back descriptions of each micro-move are tedious and unnecessary, over the top, and just not believable for someone on medical leave for PTSD and I had to fast-forward through many of them. Additionally the characters with whom Anna and her husband Paul share the rafting trip seem flat and uninteresting - but this group was their choice. They would have done better, and so would the novel, if they had gone with the "green and grey" group that would have had a little life history and experience to offer. This group just seemed adolescent and monochromatic. I did like the switchback scenes to the local Texas political scene and thought that was handled well. The scenes with Anna's shrink were the most interesting, and I also missed the telephone calls to Anna's shrink sister, Molly, that populated Barr's earlier novels. I will give this one another chance, but in general I'd say give it a pass. lame although a great writer, the story was poorly developed and even worse researched. not worth the discount rate i wasted to listen to it...

Covert agents from around the world, including a ruthless mole in the IHA, are drawn into a lethal game.

Suddenly suspicious of her own husband, Nina cannot afford to stop the perilous search for the artifact. For somewhere in a remote wilderness, two forces are about to converge: one that could save the world and one that could destroy it.

( Beauty in Ruins) Members Reviews: another terrific book in the series. just as every other book in the series...I loved it. any Nina wilde/Eddie chase fan will not be disappointed. I always enjoy Nina and Eddie! What made the experience of listening to The Valhalla Prophecy the most enjoyable? The stories are always wonderful but with this being my first audiobook version, I was pleased to find the narrator did justice to the characters and story. Who was your favorite character and why? Eddie has always been my favorite and continued to be so in this book. His colorful language and reactions are always entertaining! Which character as performed by Gildart Jackson was your favorite? See above Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? Eddie and Nina books generally provide the following reactions for me: surprise, concern, jubilation, fear, and joy.

Critic Reviews: "Though there's a comforting quality to Chamberlain's set pieces...." ( Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: Disappointed with this one I have read and or listened to all of Diane Chamberlain's books, and have never been disappointed before. I found it hard to connect with the main female characters, but attribute a lot of the reasons why to the narration. I found the reader was very childish when the characters were in conversation with one another. It really distracted me from the story. I kept rolling my eyes. I story it's self was just so so. There are so many other Chamberlain books that are amazing, if you are new to her go read another. If you are a huge fan like myself, no matter how bad a review I'm still going to listen no matter what. Just don't say you were not warned when you realize this book is not that great and the narration is even worse. Another enjoyable book! Would you listen to Brass Ring again? Why? The book was very enjoyable but wouldn't listen again, i kept getting frustrated with the main sister Claire on her denial of the truth Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How? The plot was interesting once you are able to understand why Claire gets close to Randy and once her flashbacks start Which character as performed by Meredith Mitchell was your favorite? Vanessa for sure Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? Not really Disappointed I had the hardest time getting through this book. I couldn't get passed the voice of the reader. I had negative emotions toward the main character, glad it's over. I'm a fan of Diane Chamberlain, but will look at narrator from now on before I purchase the book. Diane Chamberlain Never Let's Me Down What made the experience of listening to Brass Ring the most enjoyable? An amazing book by an amazing and never disappointing author...thank you so much! Can't wait for your next book! good book good book I was as per usual gripped half way through. I'm sure you'll enjoy it

State of Fear Audiobook by Michael Crichton

Title: State of Fear Author: Michael Crichton Narrator: John Bedford Lloyd Format: Abridged Length: 6 hrs and 55 mins Language: English Release date: 12-06-04 Publisher: HarperAudio Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 178 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: Once again Michael Crichton gives us his trademark combination of page-turning suspense, cutting-edge technology, and extraordinary research. State of Fear is a superb blend of edge-of-your-seat suspense and thought provoking commentary on how information is manipulated in the modern world. From the streets of Paris, to the glaciers of Antarctica to the exotic and dangerous Solomon Islands, State of Fear takes the reader on a rollercoaster thrill ride, all the while keeping the brain in high gear. Critic Reviews: "State of Fear is one of Crichton's best because it's as hard to pigeonhole as greenhouse gas but certainly heats up the room." (Entertainment Weekly) "Michael Crichton's new, can't-put-it-down novel is a first-of-a-kind thriller - a fast-paced adventure based on the notion that a current widespread fear is baseless." (Forbes) Members Reviews: State of Fear - A Refreshing Point of View This book was one of the few that I have listened to several times. It is refreshing to hear a different side to the environmental scare tactics that we have been flodded with since the end of the cold war. I would say that if you are conservative, you will love it. If not, you may have trouble accepting the results of Crichton's research (which are documented and referenced). Very well written I enjoyed this book so much that it was hard to put down before I finished it. It was very well researched and it presented a different version of the current global warming scare. Not so bad This book lost me a little in the beginning. As soon as the story revealed itself, I found it extremely interesting and very exciting. I am afraid that I have to disagree with the other review that claims that the story is full of tree hugging environmentalism. The book is ABOUT environmental activism, as the blurb for the book states that it is. However, this story does not attempt to promote a zealous concern for the environment, instead it points out the things that scare us the most(global warming)and provides a point of view that we may not be aware of. Even though this book is fiction, it reminds me that we don't always know both sides to every story. This book caught my attention about 1/3 of the way through and I was hooked on it. The story is very exciting and the character development is strong. I have to say from someone that got bored with "Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell" that I would recommend this book to anyone with as much or more patience that I have. Entertaining Reading Wherever you go on the net, you are likely to see two totally disparate reviews of this book. If you are totally invested in the typical environmentalist dogma, you will not like this book, because it discusses the possibility that the current environmentalist dogma is largely rhetoric-based and sensationalist. If you can keep an open mind, you'll find this an entertaining book much in the same vein of the other Creighton novels. Entertaining plot, world-traveling, adventure, etc. Worth the read, IMHO. Entertaining book I found the book extremely enlightning and exciting. It illustrates what a bunch of kooks occupy the environmental movement and how truly ignorant the elite monied class are in supporting the movement. I enjoyed it and is a worthwhile audiobook if your not a environmental kook.

A bar owner's wife and partner are gunned down during an attempted robbery. And in a beautiful mansion, a young woman dies of a heroin overdose. At first the crimes seem unconnected. But these four deaths are about to trigger a massive convergence of corruption, cops, and the mob that could tear the Philadelphia Police Department apart from the inside out. All the way to the top... Members Reviews: Worst Narrator performance of all time Is there anything you would change about this book? Dump narrator Dick Hill and bring back Michael Russotto How did the narrator detract from the book? Narrator Hill attempts to put on a one man "old time radio" play by using incredibly annoying vocal gimmicks. The gimmicks were so distracting I was unable to get beyond the first chapter. Any additional comments? as much as I enjoy Griffin's "Badge of Honor" books, I had to stop listening to Murders after one chapter due to the narrator Dick Hill. Hill's narration style is so annoying I plan to return the book for a refund. I will not purchase additional books if he is the narrator. Drags On...and on...and on I seem to be enjoying the Badge of Honor series, but Griffin has really produced some dragging plots here. This was a long book that could have been made shorter, but for the author's writing syle--there are many repeats and summaries along with characters reading written summaries--one described a room and it's content in very much detail. I'm not sure why? There are many characters, revolving around each other and sometimes they get lost in the reader's mind. As always, the book doesn't climax, it just ends, leaving the reader to wonder who dunnit? I should give up on this series and go on to something I enjoy, but I'l try book #7. outstanding as usual W.E.B. Griffin continues this outstanding series with fresh twists, credible storylines, and a great cast of characters. of his various series, this is my favorite. I never miss a book in it. Enjoyed as is normal with Griffin books Good Griffin story and great narration. As always, character and plot development are so well done the we are very involved in the evolution and point of halt. :-)

His death doesn't hit the headlines, but there is something about the case that catches the attention of William Wisting's journalist daughter, Line, and she decides to write a newspaper article with a different twist for the festive season: the portrait of a completely anonymous and obscure person whose death goes unremarked and unmourned. Critic Reviews: "Horsts beautifully paced and compelling narrative ensnares the reader as it unveils the darkest side of human nature." (Caro Ramsey) "The Caveman is not just an intriguing, fast-paced thriller, but a thoughtful meditation on loneliness, and a moving testament to the value of each and every human life." (Nicola Upson) Members Reviews: Surprise Christmas Gift I have been a fan of this author since his first novel featuring Inspector Vistig, but this latest one is definitely my favorite. The summary sounded wholesome, warm festive tale so I took a chance. So very glad I did! Completely unexpected story of 2 dead men turned into a totally spellbinding drama of international killer hiding, and continuing to kill in Norway and Sweden after leaving the US. The manhunt began with American FBI assisting local police. I believe this is first Scandinavian novel to create an international crime hunt. Fantastic novel, would recommend it unreservedly to all readers who appreciate the writing of Henning Mankell, Thomas Reiner, Michael Connelly. When is Horst's next novel due? Interesting--And Some Predictability If you could sum up The Caveman in three words, what would they be? It was predictable that Lina would end up caught in the web of the active murder investigation. If you've listened/read other in the series, this seems to be a pattern. I don't like patterns from one book to the other...isn't that what interesting writing is? No pattern and no predictability? In any case--it was a good listen. I like the characters--and the story. I am hoping, however, that Horst becomes less predictable int he future. Interesting Listen with a Lot to Ponder With every book, I learn to appreciate William Wisting a little bit more . . . thoughtful, methodical and not your usual police investigator . . . and the scenery and unique customs of the Norwegian people intrigue me . . . Wisting's split with his girlfriend, while leaving him lonely, was the right decision . . . as he still mourns the loss of his wife of many years . . . his relationship with his grown daughter, Line, is one of mutual respect and love . . . she's a journalist for a top newspaper and has opted to write a different kind of article than her usual . . . one about her reclusive neighbor, who sat dead in his chair watching television for months before being discovered . . . her detective father has an inkling that there's more to the death, but the case has been closed, and with other cases, looming large, he has moved on . . . the murder mystery parts of this series are top notch, but they are definitely tied up in a bow by the relationships, local flavor and the excellent perspective of this very gifted author . . . BRAVO! Travel at home This author's books are a terrific way to travel to Scandinavia while sitting comfortably and warm at home. Good Story..

Mattie is gruff, street-smart, and wise beyond her years, left to care for her younger siblings and an alcoholic grandmother in a dilapidated apartment in South Boston. But her need for closure and her determination to make things right hit Spenser where he lives - theyre the very characteristics he abides by. Mattie believes the man convicted of the crime is innocent, and points Spenser to the Southie toughs she saw carrying her mother away hours before her murder. Neither the Boston PD nor the neighborhood thugs are keen on his dredging up the past, but as Spenser becomes more involved in the case, he starts to realize that Mattie may be on to something. He will need Hawks help to find peace for Mattie - a job thats more dangerous than Spenser ever thought. Members Reviews: Ace aces Spenser! Atkins has more than captured the essence of Spenser. I have been rereading all the old Spenser novels (via Audible) and thus the whole enivronment is fresh in my mind. I honestly can not tell that this book was written by a different author. He has captured the universe entirely, including references to unseen characters from previous tomes that fit right into the flow. There is no sense that he used a "checklist" to ensure that he covered all the bases - something very common with follow-on works. Everything here felt right. He captures Susan and Hawk perfectly, and his references to inside-Boston stuff was spot on. Finally, the story was compelling and held my interest. The new characters were well-developed and felt as if they belonged in the Spenser universe. Ace gets an A+ from this avid Parker reader. (Are you ready to do another Cole and Hitch?) I'm looking forward to the next Spenser - may he live forever! Thank you to the Parker estate for letting this series continue. Joe Mantegna is the perfect reader for this series. I've listened to several others, who range from OK down to horrible - but Joe captures the spirit and attitude of the stores perfectly. (I'm aware that he portrayed Spenser in some made-for-TV movies that were not well received by most Spenser fans, but reading is not the same as acting). Joe does the multiple roles well, and I think he does the best Hawk of any of the readers. In short, I strongly recommend this novel to either long-time Parker fans, or new readers. You won't be disappointed! He's Still Spencer If you could sum up Robert B. Parker's Lullaby in three words, what would they be? When Robert B. Parker died, you would figure Spenser did as well, but Ace Atkins has kept him alive...the flavor, the crassness, all of it is the Spenser, those of us fans of the original stories are so familiar with. This story was not extraordinary, though the client was fun, But what made it good was the fact that Spenser, Hawk, and Susan are all here and truly the same characters with the same humor and action that Parker so prolifically provided. Joe Mantegna has done most of the Spenser readings (as well as played Spenser is several TV movies) and so he adds the right touch of sardonic wit to make the book work.

Shelter Audiobook by Jung Yun

Title: Shelter Subtitle: A Novel Author: Jung Yun Narrator: Raymond Lee Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 45 mins Language: English Release date: 03-15-16 Publisher: Macmillan Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 127 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: You can never know what goes on behind closed doors. One of The Millions' Most Anticipated Books of the Year (selected by Edan Lepucki). Kyung Cho is a young father burdened by a house he can't afford. For years he and his wife, Gillian, have lived beyond their means. Now their debts and bad decisions are catching up with them, and Kyung is anxious for his family's future. A few miles away, his parents, Jin and Mae, live in the town's most exclusive neighborhood, surrounded by the material comforts that Kyung desires for his wife and son. Growing up, they gave him every possible advantage - private tutors, expensive hobbies - but they never showed him kindness. Kyung can hardly bear to see them now, much less ask for their help. Yet when an act of violence leaves Jin and Mae unable to live on their own, the dynamic suddenly changes, and he's compelled to take them in. For the first time in years, the Chos find themselves living under the same roof. Tensions quickly mount as Kyung's proximity to his parents forces old feelings of guilt and anger to the surface, along with a terrible and persistent question: How can he ever be a good husband, father, and son when he never knew affection as a child? As Shelter veers swiftly toward its startling conclusion, Jung Yun leads us through dark and violent territory where, unexpectedly, the Chos discover hope. Shelter is a masterfully crafted debut that asks what it means to provide for one's family and, in answer, delivers a story as riveting as it is profound. Members Reviews: Heartbreakingly raw, real unresolved Any additional comments? This is a spectacular book however to say I enjoyed it would be wrong. It was depressing until the end. there were no reprieves no happy accidents that blur the line of plausibility, no feel good warmth at the end. Everything about it was real, raw and struck a deep painful cord that stayed with me for weeks after. It was like nothing I have ever read. The author's talents lie way beyond the spectrum of her peers in that she is able to weave a beautiful gripping tale without giving in to cliches, predictability, or straying from reality no matter how distasteful and unpalatable . Initially the protagonist was so cloyingly depressed and irritating I almost stopped : thinking " You want me to feel sorry for this guy?" However by the end I was identifying with him so closely his pain was mine. If you are looking for a book that renews your faith in humanity or makes the world seem alright this isn't it but in my opinion it offers something better. A well crafted story about the ongoing effects of racism and family violence What begins as a crime scene develops into a story about the ripple effect that physical and emotional abuse has on the next generation. In this case the family are well off and highly educated Korean immigrants. The point of view is from the only son whose parents settled in a university town in the seventies, where the population was mainly white American. The story begins in the present day when they experience a home invasion and it deals with how this event affects the married son's already rocky relationship with his wife and son. The main character was believable and his inner dialogue plays a strong part in holding the reader's interest.

But when a series of mysterious "accidents" occur - leading to the death of one of the skaters - Jessica Fletcher suspects someone is getting away with cold-blooded murder.... Members Reviews: Good Cozy Mystery This is another entertaining entry in this series. All the familiar characters are here - Doc Haslett, Sheriff Metzger, and Jessica Fletcher. The plot is good with plenty of twists. I wasn't able to guess the ending ahead of time. Sandra Burr is a new narrator. This is the second time I've listened to her as narrator in this series. For the first few minutes of the story I was aware of the change in narrator. However, I quickly became involved in the story and wasn't distracted by a different voice telling it. If you liked to TV series, you will probably enjoy this story. There is no graphic sex or violence, and the language is "family friendly". Even on the Ice I like the whole intro to ice skating as a sport that not too many know about. Great subject to put in a story of murder on ice. WONDERFUL!!!! Loved it! Engaging! Well worth the download! Highly recommended. Flows just like the show did! WELL DONE! Really liked it What made the experience of listening to Murder, She Wrote: Skating on Thin Ice the most enjoyable? I could picture what was happening and it seemed like I was watching the story unfold. Which scene was your favorite? There were several but I enjoyed when she was skating on the ice. Any additional comments? I love Murder She Wrote books. I also loved the original narrator (Cynthia Darlow) which I found her to sound similar to Angela Lansbury but I've gotten used to Sandra Burr now and really like her too.

Title: Compulsion Subtitle: A Max Revere Novel Author: Allison Brennan Narrator: Eliza Foss Format: Unabridged Length: 14 hrs and 48 mins Language: English Release date: 04-07-15 Publisher: Macmillan Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 167 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: Investigative journalist Maxine "Max" Revere is covering the high-profile New York City trial of serial killer Adam Bachman, and Max is excited when she's granted a rare interview with him. She has a lot to ask him, and she's also hoping to find out if Bachman knows anything about a couple who's been missing since the week before his arrest. But her time with him doesn't go quite as planned. Max isn't fazed by much, but Bachman gets under her skin - he seems to know a lot more about her than he should. In fact Max starts to wonder if Bachman might not be working alone. Could he have a partner on the outside? Max is determined to get to the truth. But if her suspicions are correct, she might be walking into a lot of trouble. The kind of trouble no one - not the man she's seeing, Detective Nick Santorini; not her ex, FBI Special Agent Marco Lopez - can help her out of. The kind of trouble that could cost her life. Members Reviews: BOOK PROBABLY BETTER READ; REVIEWS WRONG. The storyline is predictable, but if you read the last Max Revere book you know about what to expect; however, the narration is poor. Ms. Floss might be fine reading bedtime stories or as a single person, but her attempts at several characters is just bad. Also, the book itself has too many melodramatic moments that are poorly written involving two female characters. To top it all off Audible has the wrong reviews attached to this! What comes up is reviews for another book titled "Compulsion" by a completely different author. I have notified them three times without any corrective action on their part. Lip service, poor service. I am returning this book. I love this series! The narrator kind of annoyed me a little bit. I'm not sure what it was about her, but... yeah, a bit annoying. The story was great. I randomly bought the first book in this series and couldn't be happier that I did. Max can get a little annoying because she is very arrogant, but at the same time that's what I love about her. The story is fast paced and the relationship development between her and David us great. I definitely recommend it.

Headhunters Audiobook by Jo Nesb

Title: Headhunters Author: Jo Nesb Narrator: Steve West Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 1 min Language: English Release date: 10-11-11 Publisher: Random House Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 559 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: With Headhunters, Jo Nesb has crafted a funny, dark, and twisted caper story worthy of Quentin Tarantino and the Coen brothers. Roger Brown is a corporate headhunter, and hes a master of his profession. But one career simply cant support his luxurious lifestyle and his wifes fledgling art gallery. At an art opening one night, he meets Clas Greve, who is not only the perfect candidate for a major CEO job, but also, perhaps, the answer to his financial woes: Greve just so happens to mention that he owns a priceless Peter Paul Rubens painting thats been lost since World War II - and Roger Brown just so happens to dabble in art theft. But when he breaks into Greves apartment, he finds more than just the painting. And Clas Greve may turn out to be the worst thing thats ever happened to Roger Brown. Critic Reviews: If you dont know Nesb, its time to get with it. (USA Today) Like [Stieg] Larsson, Nesb explores the darkest criminal minds with grim delight and puts his killers where you least expect to find them. . . . [and] his novels are maddeningly addictive. (Vanity Fair) Chances are youll be hooked ... as Nesb lays down a trail rich in Nordic atmosphere and in character-driven development ... Ultimately, though, what sets Nesb apart is his ability to keep the pages turning with such intellectual dexterity. (Newsday) Members Reviews: This is a great book The narrator talks intimately into your ear. You feel as if he is telling a story and speaking only to you. An unusual audio style that's a little disconcerting initially...I wasn't quite sure I was going to continue. But then the story started happening so seductively...so subtlety.. with clever and alluring dialogue that sucks you in and before you know what's happening,you are hooked. It is not a Harry Hole book, this is something quite different. The story is fascinating and unexpected......don't think for a moment you know where it is going. Pay attention!! it will be worth it. Dragon Tattoo(esque)....but...... I really liked this book; it is the first I have read by Nesbo. I can't help but compare it to the great Stieg Larrson trilogy (both Larrson and Nesbo are from Nordic countries and write similar genre). In a nutshell I would say it was as riveting as "The Girl with the Dragon Tatoo" series only without all the SLOW spots. It almost felt like I was reading an abridged version of a Larrson novel. There were a few hokie parts, but it was far less predictable... in fact, every time I thought I had it figured out, something changed...right up until the last chapter or two. The narration was not the best I have heard, but certainly not the worst. I plan on looking up this author in the future. Definitely not Harry Hole What did you like best about Headhunters? What did you like least? There were some interesting twists. There was nobody to really root for and a fairly simple story reall dragged on. Would you recommend Headhunters to your friends? Why or why not? Probably not. Any Harry Hole novel is much better and I believe better written. Did the narration match the pace of the story? Yes. If this book were a movie would you go see it? No Any additional comments? Jo, stick to Harry Hole. A really good mystery I wish I'd read instead. I liked this book a lot, but there are several key twists that I was sure I missed just by not paying attention.

Red Phoenix Burning Audiobook by Larry Bond, Chris Carlson

Title: Red Phoenix Burning Author: Larry Bond, Chris Carlson Narrator: Patrick Lawlor Format: Unabridged Length: 15 hrs and 14 mins Language: English Release date: 03-16-16 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 149 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: North Korea has one of the world's largest standing armies, capable of unleashing a massive arsenal of chemical and nuclear weapons. With an unstable government, led by the Kim dynasty under absolute dictator Kim Jong Un, North Korea more closely resembles an organized crime ring than a real nation-state. Millions live on the edge of starvation while Pyongyang's ruthless generals, crooked bureaucrats, and vicious secret police wage a covert war against each other to expand their rival fiefdoms. Red Phoenix Burning imagines the collapse of this corrupt regime, an implosion that triggers a bloody civil war among the North's brutal factions. As the conflict worsens, the world is dragged into a violent and rapidly widening confrontation amid North Korea's shattered ruins, right to the edge of an all-out war that could engulf the entire civilized world. Fans of the original Red Phoenix will be delighted to see favorite characters like Colonel Kevin Little, Brigadier General Tony Christopher, and Colonel Rhee Han-Gil returning to battle, older and wiser, alongside new cast of heroes and villains. Red Phoenix Burning will also offer listeners a deeper look behind today's headlines of turmoil and uncertainty - a look made all the more profound by the in-depth knowledge of war, military technology, and geopolitics brought to bear by Larry Bond and his co-authors. Members Reviews: Good story, horrible narration! Is there anything you would change about this book? Yes, I'd change the narrator. The narrator made made every character sound like a teenage kid! Who was your favorite character and why? Didn't get that far into the book Would you be willing to try another one of Patrick Lawlors performances? No If this book were a movie would you go see it? Probably Any additional comments? This had the potential to be Larry Bonds best book, unfortunately narration made it impossible for me to finish Poor character development, totally unrealistic, poor performance A good story helps you feel like it is plausible - colonels and individual generals accepting surrender without official gov't approval? Really? Dialogue is far too predictable, very amateur The performer tries hard but doesn't have a true range of characters Confused... This is a very good story. However, this is "too much book" for this narrator. As an audio recording with this narrator it is so confusing to figure out whether it's the American Military, the South Korean military or North Korean Military speaking. There is little or no difference between the voices of the characters. This book would have been better served by a more accomplished narrator such as Jay Snyder, Lou Diamond Philips or Scott Brick, for example. I don't like to be frustrated when listening to a book and I don't like to constantly rewind to figure out who is speaking. It's too bad because the story is very good. This is one book where you may be best served in reading it rather than listening to it. A watered down Red Phoenix with a lousy narrator I purchased this book because the original Red Phoenix is one of my favorites. While the premise of the book is great the story is far below the standards set by Larry Bond in his prime. There is very little in the way of technical warfare details that made books like Red Phoenix and Red Storm Rising (which Bond co-wrote) so outstanding and believable.

For Jack Reacher, being invisible has become a habit. He spends his days digging swimming pools by hand and his nights as the bouncer in the local strip club in the Florida Keys. He doesn't want to be found. But someone has sent a private detective to seek him out. Then Reacher finds the guy beaten to death with his fingertips sliced off. It's time to head north and work out who is trying to find him and why. Members Reviews: Excellent Twists turns and great sub plots a triumph in the series looking forward to the next no silly voices please why do male narrators insist on using faux female voices. we are not idiots. we can keep up. read the book...don't try to act. Good not as good as previous 2
Enjoyed it but it felt a little drawn out as compared to the previous 2 book. Lots of time spent on details that felt pointless Not my favourite reacher novel but great narration Well I'm three books into the Jack Reacher series. I would say this was the slowest of the three with more intrigue than action and of course as we learn more and more about reacher, the more we like him, so this maybe compensates for the lack of pace. The major positive was the narrator. He is probably the best yet for the reacher books and actually makes the female characters sound feminine and believable. I guess this is an ongoing issue in all audio books but it's a major plus and helps you get immersed in the story. So still a 4/5 for the story and I'm already onto book four which I note has the same narrator! Very Clever ! Thoroughly enjoyable! My favourite male friends Lee Jeff and Jack. What a blast! Thanks guys!!!

The narrator was great, the story kept me on the edge of my seat until the end! I couldn't turn it off. I would have never guessed who was behind this! Ive read many by this author, but didn't know about this one until stumbling across on Audible. She's an amazing mystery writer. You won't be disappointed. Good storyline! I really liked the book, it was a bit predictable, but good. i love this author. great book!! a little wordy in some places but good otherwise :-) I didn't like the narrator much either Another great one! Will keep you guessing! A another great story and thrilling mystery. I would highly recommend.

During one of their weekly Wednesday morning sessions, Joe announces he's gotten married. A week later, Joe dies. Believing Joe may have been the victim of a black widow, Matt hires an investigator to look into Joe's death. The investigator finds old Joe wasn't so innocent; he embezzled money from a drug cartel. Suddenly, Matt finds himself battling Joe's widow and her shyster lawyer who want his money, The National Association of Security Dealers who wants his broker's license, and, oh yes, the cartel who wants his life. It's enough to turn any bull into a bear. ©2006 Jay Giles; (P)2006 Reagent Press Members Reviews: ridiculous narration I am wondering how this recording was released by the publisher. If I didn't know better, I'd think the voices were a comedy act. The insensitivity to the book is overwhelming-such as when he reads about the main character's family's car accident. Blindsided by the good reviews While the premise of the story was interesting enough to keep me listening until the end, the narration was off-putting enough to make me take frequent breaks. The female characters' voices and the extreme nasal quality of some of the male characters are dreadful. Except for the voice of Matt Seattle the other male characters' voices are merely annoying. The constant mispronunciation of "d'Onofrio," the name of one of the main characters, is also distracting. Some of Matt Seattle's actions and reactions aren't very believable, but I found myself rooting for him to prevail. I might listen to more of the author's work, but will studiously avoid anything read by the narrator of "Blindsided." Awful I listen to many books. This is the worst ever. The only good character, Eddie, the dog,is killed quickly and the balance of the book is lame. feel like beimg grabed? listen on grreat story, grabes you from the begining and never lets go. could not stop listening. Good old fashion good guy bad guy story I love twist The good guy , Matt Seattle , gets snaggled by a confusing state of affairs involving money . The bad guys kidnap his girlfriend until Matt does what they want him to do . The really bad guy is a big community person and yet we see that he is the scum of the earth . There is some shooting and some beating up and some deaths. But in the end all works out well for Matt Seattle . I downside of the narration is poor quality of the narrator imitating different voices and persons, especially female voices and persons. But the story overcomes the narration and all ends up well .

Two seconds later a bullet from a sniper's rifle shattered the driver's side window of her Lexus SUV. That's how it began, early on a Friday morning when Amanda, Harry's wife, found the note tucked under her windshield wiper. The incident was quickly followed by a series of events that would put his family and friends in deadly danger and test Harry to his limits. Members Reviews: Harry Starke stories never let you down! Just when you think the Harry stories cant get any better another great new read comes along. Harry has never had a fight on his hands like this one, someone wants him dead, but that someone wants to play games. Once again, all the team are pulling for Harry, but there isnt much they can do to help him, Harry does everything he can to keep them out of the way because he knows what will happen to them if they interfere in this battle of wits. The thing is, Harry thinks he knows who wants him dead but he doesnt know who is trying to do the deed. This adds to the excitement, which, in this story, gets quite intense. Brilliantly entertaining Five star story, Highly recommended. Narrated by Tom Lennon, who yet again makes Harry and the team come alive. Each time I listen to a new Harry Starke book I am reminded yet again of how lucky we are that someone chose Tom to narrate this series. Audiobook review copy provided by the narrator

But Dick Marcinko is diverted to England, where an aircraft carrier has been sabotaged, killing 36 - including the American Chief of Naval Operations, one of the few friends the Rogue Warrior had left in the Navy. Marcinko elbows his way onto the case, where he discovers a developing transnational terror network with a vast, violent religious movement at the center. Defeating that global menace will be the supreme test of Marcinko's top-secret GREEN TEAM, but others don't want Marcinko and his SEALs prowling where they could actually do some good. When things go wrong, the political and military wolves look for a sacrificial lamb - and it's Dick Marcinko they select for slaughter. For the Rogue Warrior - always a renegade and now a fugitive - it's time to declare a holy war of his own. Members Reviews: Chopped Having read the book, it was easy to determine where cuts were made for the abridgment. What is so bad about the cuts was there were events that happen in the removed parts that are referenced in the recording and are not explained. classic an easy listen of a classic counter terror fiction piece. the a bridging was well done with nothing critical lost in the transition. yea thats what i'm talken about Do this frist book again , and unabridged, and you will have more fans for life The Rogue at his best Marcinko has been a fvorite author of mine since his first book The Rogue Warrior. Ok, the languageis harsh but hey, he's a combat vet and hard carger. Check it out...you;ll enjoy his candor and aility to paint a great picture. Way to go Dick! I don't think Marcinko could write a bad book. Once again action from begining to end with no sensless emotion to get you down. Keep them coming.

Title: The Intern's Handbook Subtitle: A Thriller Author: Shane Kuhn Narrator: Pete Simonelli Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 11 mins Language: English Release date: 04-08-14 Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 893 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: John Lago is a hitman. He has some rules for you. And hes about to break every single one. John Lago is a very bad guy. But hes the very best at what he does. And what he does is infiltrate top-level companies and assassinate crooked executives while disguised as an intern. Interns are invisible. Thats the secret behind HR, Inc., the elite placement agency that doubles as a network of assassins for hire who take down high-profile targets that wouldnt be able to remember an interns name if their lives depended on it. At the ripe old age of almost 25, John Lago is already New York Citys most successful hit man. Hes also an intern at a prestigious Manhattan law firm, clocking 80 hours a week getting coffee, answering phones, and doing all the grunt work actual employees are too lazy to do. He was hired to assassinate one of the firms heavily guarded partners. His internship provides the perfect cover, enabling him to gather intel and gain access to pull off a clean, untraceable hit. Part confessional, part DIY manual, The Interns Handbook chronicles Johns final assignment, a twisted thrill ride in which he is pitted against the toughest - and sexiest - adversary hes ever faced: Alice, an FBI agent assigned to take down the same law partner hes been assigned to kill. Members Reviews: Reads like a movie script After reading The Intern's Handbook, I realized that I've read many books told from the assassin's point of view: the Dexter series, Tim Dorsey's Serge series, the Butcher Boy series by Thomas Perry. I was hoping to add this to that list of favorites, but it falls short. The book is more action scenes than story. How many times can someone be hit, kicked, shot and stabbed and then return to the office the next morning? As a movie, it will probably be a box office hit, as a book it doesn't quite make it. Off key and edgy - I liked it! This is an interesting story, told from an interesting perspective, a narrative of the main character. Excellent If you could sum up The Intern's Handbook in three words, what would they be? Unique, disturbing, exciting Who was your favorite character and why? John, the emotionally robbed child turned killer. Which character as performed by Pete Simonelli was your favorite? I think Alice b/c Simonelli actually managed to make a female's voice feminine as opposed to a shrill or deep voice. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? Towards the end of the book and the conclusion as well. Any additional comments? The Intern's Handbook is unlike any of the other 1,000 books I have read and listened to over the year. Just the conclusion alone is well worth one's investment in time and credit. The bumpy ride one takes towards the end of the book is fasten-your-seat belt exciting. Highly recommended. If you saw 'Wanted' (2008) don't bother I expected this to be very funny based on an article I read which recommended it. While somewhat dry it was ultimately underwhelming. 1/2 bland intern, 1/2 super-assassin, and more than a little bit whiney John fails to inspire a genuine connection with the reader. This reads like an action movie script. If you're looking to kill a few hours, and can't get to the nearest cinema, go for it.

With 20 million copies sold worldwide, The Shack is an international best seller that explores life's toughest questions through the gripping story of one man's struggle to find answers to his suffering. Mack's youngest daughter, Missy, was abducted during a family vacation, and evidence that she may have been brutally murdered is found in an abandoned shack deep in the Oregon wilderness. Four years later, still trapped in his great sadness, Mack receives a suspicious note, apparently from God, inviting him back to that shack. Against his better judgment, Mack arrives at the shack on a wintry afternoon. What he finds there will change his life forever. The Shack wrestles with the timeless question 'where is God in a world so filled with unspeakable pain?' Mack's experiences when he faces up to his darkest nightmares will astound you and perhaps transform you as much as they did him. This is the kind of story you'll want to tell everyone about. Millions have discovered it already - now it's your turn. This audiobook contains a bonus interview with the author. Members Reviews: Heart wrenching and thought provoking! This is an amazing story! It has such strong human elements of love, disappointment, anger, loss, and gain. One of the most, if not the most captivating book I've read in a long while, listen to, to be more precise. The deep theological truths of God's love and grace is so well explained. Roger Mueller's reading and portrayal of the characters is flawless! I love the audio version so much that I bought the printed book as well! Highly recommended. my second visit of reading The Shack, This book blows me away and us an amazing read which I have shared with many family and friends. Can't wait for the film Amazing Loved it. An inspirational book which has helped me understand God like never before. I started listening and just couldn't stop. Amazing. Rekindling your Faith I read this book years ago, if you can accept God being played by a woman its truly enlightening. It made me question why I had given up on Jesus and religion. I have now been a practicing Christian for 4 years, I was so pleased to see it on audible. I downloaded it straight away, and have listened to it several times! STUNNING Exceptional book. Written from the heart with love and warmth and a sprinkling of humour. My favourite part is when he meets Papa (God) for the first time

Davis, Jack Coughlin Narrator: Scott Sowers Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 39 mins Language: English Release date: 08-16-16 Publisher: Macmillan Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 206 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: A top Russian intelligence agent has defected to the West, and the only man with whom he will speak is Kyle Swanson, who busted him out of the US Marine Corps Scout/Sniper School years ago. The defector proves to be an Edward Snowden-type gold mine of amazing secrets about the when, where, and how of President Vladimir Pushkin's next grab for lost Soviet territory. But Swanson, now a special contractor with the CIA, soon begins to believe that it is all fool's gold being sprinkled by Moscow to ignite an open military fight with NATO and the United States. Using his own deadly methods, the sniper sets out to find the truth, but to slow him down the Russians kidnap Swanson's beautiful friend, Calico, the CIA station chief in Estonia. From Italy to the Arctic Circle, Kyle Swanson is on the hunt, convinced that the defector actually is running a complex plot to hand Russia a kingdom in the north. But Swanson seems always to be a step behind, because there is a traitor within his own chain of command. To stop the madness, Swanson must deliver a kill shot 100 miles away from a border bridge in Estonia, where a Russian army waits on the far shore as a government official crosses over with an invitation to invade. Members Reviews: Narrator killed it for me. Any additional comments? I don't understand why they would switch the narrator. If Daniels was busy doing another book they should have waited. Sowers who was great in The Confession by Grisham, but Kyle Swanson he is not. The story is still great but the narrator switch took away what I had come to love about the series. I don't think I'll suffer through another book if Daniels isn't back. Seems like a totally different series. Bring back Luke Daniels Please re-record this with Luke Daniels the proper voice of Kyle Swansonand this series and don't stray from him again. Teriffic story with disappointing narration After 8 novels in this wonderful series with Luke Daniels great narration someone decided to change narrators. What a stupid move! Long Shot is a solid 5 star novel like the others in the Sniper series, but narration, although okay, disappoints. If you like military/espionage thrillers set in current times, this novel and this series are for you. disappointed the narrator ruined this book for me . why did they switch them ? Should have been a new character Any additional comments? This novel didnt feel like a Kyle Swanson story to me. Not just because of the new narrator (where was Luke Daniels?), but the character just didnt seem to me to behave like Kyle Swanson would have. The few characters from previous novels in the series seemed to have been crammed in just to keep the series going. I think the author would have been better served by making this a new series with a new character for this novel.

Title: Dark Chocolate Demise Author: Jenn McKinlay Narrator: Susan Boyce Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 28 mins Language: English Release date: 03-07-17 Publisher: Dreamscape Media, LLC Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 72 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: Scottsdale, Arizona, may not be the liveliest place on earth, but it's never been as dead as this. The first annual Old Town Zombie Walk is announced, and Mel, Angie, and the Fairy Tale Cupcake crew are donning their best undead attire to sell some horror-themed desserts to the hungry hordes. But fun turns to fright when Mel finds a real dead body in a prop casket outside of the bakery's truck - and the corpse looks alarmingly like a zombie of their own. Mel worries that someone near and dear was the real target. To keep any of her friends from winding up six feet under, Mel will do whatever it takes to find a killer - no matter how scary things get... Members Reviews: The Mafia gets involved Dark Chocolate Demise by Jenn McKinlay picks up where Sugar and Iced left off, with Mels being estranged from the love of her life, Joe Delora, older brother of Mels partner, Angie. Joe is taking on a huge mob boss, Frank Tucci, until now untouchable in his position as Assistant District Attorney, and he fears for Mels safety if he is known to be still associated with her. Then one night Mel, Angie, and Tate, Angies fiance and the womens partner in the Fairy Take Cupcake Shop, go to the Old Town Zombie Walk. Angie and Tate go dressed as a zombie bride and groom. Next to their cupcake van the cupcake team has a coffin they use for attention and advertising. After going off to check out the zombie walk, the trio returns to the van only to discover a body dressed as a zombie bride inside the coffin! Given the location of the body in the coffin next to the cupcake van and the similarity of the dead womans costume to Angies, everyone feels concerned that Angie may have been the target. The fear is that someone related to Frank Tucci may have targeted Angie to get to Joe, and this leads Angies and Mels friends and Angies brothers to set guard around the women, something both women resist. This book was enjoyable, but it would not be a good book for someone to begin the series with. It spends a significant amount of time dealing with the angst that Mel goes through as she worries about her relationship with Joe. That got a little tiresome, along with the frequent fighting by Mel to keep from having someone guard her. If you already enjoy the series, then you are likely to enjoy this book, but for anyone who is not already into the series, Id recommend trying an earlier book. I do highly love the narration of Susan Boyce. She continues to bring this series to life and makes it highly enjoyable. I suspect I would not have enjoyed this book as much as I did without Boyces performance. So for this book, I give a split rating. If you have not read the other books, it has a 2 star rating. But if you have been reading the series and enjoying the lives of Mel, Angie, Tate, and Joe, along with with other cupcake team members, then I give the book 4 stars. another good book Another good book in the series except that Mel, gets a bit irritating with her marriage issues

Rachel Traherne does not want to meet Maud Silver. She does not want to tell her that someone has threatened her life, because she does not want that dreadful fact to be true. But see Miss Silver she must, for the stout, old-fashioned detective is the only person in London who may be able to keep her safe. Rachel has been receiving threatening letters about her deceased father's fortune. The first two letters were vague; the third said simply, "Get ready to die." Since then she has been nearly killed three times: first by a flight of sabotaged stairs, second by fire, and third by a box of poisoned chocolates. She fears it may be a family member, jealous of her inheritance and willing to kill to get it. But who could it be? Miss Silver is going to find out. Members Reviews: Good example of a classic British mystery A rather thin plot peopled with plenty of "usual suspects". Good writing, similar style to Agatha Christie, although the story is not as compelling as a Dame Agatha plot. Perfect narrator for this style of writing.

Money was stolen. And a woman named Emily Gordon, a visitor in town cashing traveler's checks, was shot and killed. No one saw who shot her. Despite security camera photos and a letter from the group claiming responsibility, the perpetrators have remained at large for nearly three decades. Enter Paul Giacomin, the closest thing to a son Spenser has. Twice before, Spenser has come to the young man's assistance, and now that Paul is in his 30s, his troubled past is behind him. When Paul's friend Daryl Gordon -daughter of the long-gone Emily - decides she needs closure about the matter of her mother's death, it's Spenser she turns to. The lack of clues and the fact that an FBI intelligence report is missing force Spenser to reach out in every direction - to Daryl's estranged hippie father; to Vinnie Morris and the mob; to the mysterious Ives - and test his resourcefulness and courage. Critic Reviews: "Series fans will be satisfied." (Booklist) "Bernhardt keeps his foot flat on the accelerator, producing action at every turn." (Orlando Sentinel) Members Reviews: ...he's Baa-a-ack! okay: I haven't enjoyed a Parker novel in awhile, but this one, although not the most innovative, is fun and witty. His last few books have felt forced and written "just because..." Narrator is also excellent and gives each character a voice of his own. you know what you're gonna get I think that I have listened to every "Spenser" novel that's available on Audible. It isn't so much that they are fantastic books... it's more that they are predictable in their high-quality. I tend to listen to these short Robert B. Parker novels between larger books... enjoying a mostly mindless story before undertaking another long listen. Joe Mantegna continues his entertaining portrayal as Spenser... one that he's also become known for in made-for-TV movies. As a side-note, the voices that he gives his female characters in his readings never fail to amuse me. I particularly enjoy when he attempts to pull off a rendition of a woman trying to seduce Spenser. Those laughs alone make the commute fly by quickly. Review of Back Story This is my first story with this author. I like the straightforward language and the good, interesting story. I've been listening to other thriller/detective stories, and this is a good mix of straightforward writing, good, interesting plot, and understandable characters. It's engaging and complete without a lot of wasted words. He gets at meaningful interactions between characters without wasting words. The reader gets the picture without the author's having to waste words and time with a lot of description and dialogue. I suspect this kind of writing is tough to accomplish, and it's good to read. So it's 4 stars: good story, concise writing, interesting and tightly drawn characters, and that interesting dialogue: lots of tough guy lingo, and you can see the various characters sizing each other up and staring each other down. And shooting each other. Mantegna is a good listen, too. Bob Maybe (gulp) I've read too much Robert B. Parker. I guess I knew this day was coming, but it's been a heckuva ride, I must say.

Wow! Great suspense! Loved. the banter, suspense and plot twists. The narrator was amazing in her ability to jump between accents and voices of the various characters. A must read! Wasn't sure at first, but ended good I like most of Kristen Heitzmann's books. At first I wasn't sure if I would like this book, The hero whinned way to much. The story is intreging and ended up keeping me very engaged. I loved how everything came together at the end of the book. While not Heitzmann's best book, it is worth the read, especially if you like very clean books with "faith" as the underlying theme.

RJ Bailey is doing a great job. The characters are richly drawn. There is lots of action that is exciting and plausible. Imogen Church provides perfect narration.

Finally their dream has come true with the adoption of their daughter, Angelina. But nine months after bringing her home, they receive a devastating phone call from the adoption agency: Angelina's birth father, a teenager, never signed away his parental rights, and he wants her back. Worse, his father, a powerful Denver judge, wants him to own up to this responsibility and will use every advantage his position of power affords him to make sure it happens. When Jack and Melissa attempt to handle the situation rationally by meeting face-to-face with the father and son, it is immediately apparent that there's something sinister about both of them and that love for Angelina is not the motivation for their actions. As Angelina's safety hangs in the balance, Jack and Melissa will stop at nothing to protect their child. A horrifying game of intimidation and double crosses begins that quickly becomes a death spiral where absolutely no one is safe. How far would you go to save someone you love? Members Reviews: Spiralling Out Of Control Its all too much. A couple discovers they have to give up their adopted baby because the birth father did not sign away his parental rights. Interesting premise. Then it all falls apart. Dont worry, no spoilers here: The birth father turns out to be a teenager but not any kind of teenager; a dark brooding teenager. But not any kind of dark brooding teenager; a dark brooding teenager who doesnt get along with dogs, has a suspicious past, has gang ties and is the son of a judge. But not any kind of judge; a super powerful Federal judge. But not any kind of super powerful Federal judge; a sinister super powerful Federal judge with secrets to hide The psycho-teen taunts and spooks the family with his strange behaviours, warning them that they had to keep him happy or he wont sign the papers saying things like I own you now So, the parents decide to do everything they can to save their child, start their own investigation and high octane action ensues, twists and turns and murders and intrigue and double crossesARGH! ENOUGH! it was just too over-the-top for me. Missing Joe Pickett The plot was a little hard to swallow. The excess violence was a distraction from the story. Seeing the "good guys" cross the line so many times was disheartening. Sometimes gritty realism is hard to take. Another excellent C.J Book Ive read most of Boxes books and they are all really good. He is true to form on this one. Very exciting. I think a little slower pacec than his Joe Joe Pickitt novels but he is also tackling a little more serious and issue. Solid suspens novel. Not Saying Goodbye Loving all of C.J. Box's series about Joe Pickett I did not know what to expect with this stand alone. Well, I loved it and could not stop listening to it. I have added John Bedford Lloyd to favorite narrrator status for myself. Couldn't stop listening. As soon as I figured out the story, I didn't want to listen to it, knowing that the subject matter would break my heart. But, I couldn't stop, and the story didn't disappoint. This book was riveting.

Only days before the assassination attempt on the President, Banks had received a note with a dire warning: "Eagle One is in danger. Cancel Chattooga River. The inside ring has been compromised. This is not a joke." The message, on Secret Service stationery, was signed "An agent in the wrong place". Banks immediately passed the note on to Secret Service Director Patrick Donnelly, who proceeded to ignore it. Even after the assassin is found dead, Banks is determined to dig a little deeper. He turns to Speaker of the House John Fitzgerald Mahoney. The Speaker has a guy, an under-the-radar, go-to guy he uses for things like this, things he can't afford to have connected to his office. The guy is Joe DeMarco, an honest lawyer with a sordid family history. After one meeting with Banks, DeMarco realizes he's in way over his head. But Mahoney finds the prospect of taking down Donnelly irresistible and sets DeMarco on a trail that twists through the Secret Service, the FBI, and the Department of Homeland Security and snakes all the way back to one of the more enduring mysteries of the 20th century. Brimming with suspense, authenticity, and wit, The Inside Ring marks the debut of a major new talent and introduces a cast of intriguing characters with many more cases ahead. Critic Reviews: "This is high-level entertainment from a writer who could soon rise to the top of the thriller heap." (Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: Thrills & Chills My wife and I really enjoyed it. Good action, some scenes with seriously scary suspense, and engaging characters. Great Read This book grabs you and never lets go! Scott Brick is great as usual. I seek out his books and rarely do they disappoint. The Inside Ring is no exception. Fun Read Indeed! The Perfect Shot Would you listen to The Inside Ring again? Why? I would listen to The Inside Ring again because there are some important parts I missed, interpreted wrong and perhaps I didn't give a character his/her true significance to the part he/she played. When re-listening to a book, I pick up parts that give meaning to a concept that I might have missed the first time through. The book was a good enough listen that I could come back and start the series over. I've done that before and I've gained much more learning. I realize that novels don't follow reality in all things but they do encourage me to go to the internet and trace the facts. What other book might you compare The Inside Ring to and why? The Inside Ring could be compared to Boundary Waters. The two of these novels both attempt to protect the inner circle who needs the utmost protection from the evils that can be loosed upon anyone or anything at anytime. What about Scott Bricks performance did you like? Scott Brick's performance was excellent. The character's personality comes through the narration of Scott Brick. I could envision the anger exuding from Dale Estep, who was an extremely evil man. He truly enjoyed murdering in cold blood. Man, woman, child, even member's of his own family. He enjoyed killing so much, if he was asked to kill his own mother, he would have no problem. Murder was his reason for living.

The players are in position for the final, deadly game. Members Reviews: great read This is a good story. original in its own. very surprised at the depth of multiple characters Narrator pronunciation Where does The Double Tap rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? This is pure Stephen Leather What other book might you compare The Double Tap to, and why? Similar to The Long Shot which is the first of the two Mike Cramer stories with multiple related strands Which character as performed by Martyn Read was your favourite? Mike Cramer Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Apart from the thought of listening for 17 hours, yes it was hard to take a break Any additional comments? The only irritation to the otherwise skilful narration was Martyn Read's pronunciation of Quantico as Kwanteeeco rather than KWONtico (like Americans) and Miami as Meeami rather than My-ami. The latter is from a native Indian word and Americans pronounce it My-ami. Appalling narrator I am an avid audible fan and have enjoyed several Stephen Leather stories narrated by Paul Thornley. This narration by Martyn Read was so bad I couldn't carry on listening. It was his attempt at an Irish or American accent which really grated - a great shame because it might have been a good story. If you're looking through the list of Stephen Leather stories don't choose one read by Maryn Read. Most annoying Narrator Would you try another book written by Stephen Leather or narrated by Martyn Read? I really like Stephen Leather and have 16 of his books in my library, the stories are enthralling and exciting with great twists and turns but this narrator Martyn Ready has ruined the last two books with the ridiculous attempts at accents. How did the narrator detract from the book? With his rediculas unrealistic accents , in this book the Irish sound more akin to West Country accents, and has made Mike Cramer sound more like a geek than a trained SAS soldier You didnt love this book--but did it have any redeeming qualities? Great story Any additional comments? STOP USING THIS NARRATOR !!!

Sergeant Amy Callan and Lieutenant Caroline Cooke have a lot in common. Both were army highflyers. Both were acquainted with Jack Reacher. Both were forced to resign from the service. Now they're both dead. Found in their own homes, naked, in a bath full of paint. Apparent victims of an army man. A loner, a smart guy with a score to settle, a ruthless vigilante. A man just like Jack Reacher. Members Reviews: Interesting story with twists. Great narration. Really enjoyed the plot, and the narrator was much better than that used in a previous version which I returned. Most memorable moment "......eyes went wide in sudden panic and then she died". Lots of good lines, characters clearly defined in the voices. This is really helpful. Not bad Easy listen, not earth shattering but pretty good. You can always rely on Jack Reacher Jack Reacher = easy listening Here is another great story involving our favourite Hobo. A few decent twists and good to see Reacher under the thumb sometimes. A circular novel This book had my brain spirialling round and round trying to catch and make sense of all the clues. Exciting and Absolutely loved it!!! Such a let down on so many levels and then he said, and then she said, and he said, but she said and repeat over and over. and the plot!!! are you kidding me! i enjoyed the first book alot, second was alright but 3rd and fourth were just crap!

Title: Rogue Warrior: Domino Theory Author: Richard Marcinko, Jim DeFelice Narrator: Peter Ganim Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 55 mins Language: English Release date: 03-20-12 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 67 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: When the Rogue Warrior travels to India to help supervise security arrangements for the upcoming Commonwealth Games, he and his team find themselves up to their skivvies in terrorists of all types - Pakistanis. But its not just the Games that are being targeted for disruption: Demo Dick and his young bucks uncover a plot to steal all seventy nuclear warheads the Indians have amassed for war against the Pakistanis. The Rogue Warrior must overcome various obstacles to prevent disaster: a high-tech remote-controlled attack helicopter that makes the Apache look like a childs toy, an ominous chemical factory about to go boom, and tea and crumpets with the Queen. (We're just kidding about the Queen.) Marcinko and DeFelice sprinkle the action with trademark Rogue Warrior humor and non-PC asides in the latest installment of the best-selling series. As usual, the plot mixes fact with fiction, and incorporates some of the original SEAL Team 6 skippers recent experiences in India. Critic Reviews: The most colorful, hell-raising, bomb-throwing ex-SEAL commander of them all. ( Playboy) Members Reviews: Love Marcinko but the narrator just did not help What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you? Marcinko going back to reading his own books What was most disappointing about Richard Marcinko and Jim DeFelice s story? THe narrator needed to be like Marcinko I tried 3 times to read it and could not get through it. I guess Marchinko is the only good one for his the gruff and rough way he puts into it Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Peter Ganim? Marcinko or someone close to him and his style You didnt love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities? I don't know, I love Marcinko I have all his books but I tried 3 times and could get threw it because of the narrator Ok - Little like Clive Cussler meets SEAL Team 6 If you like Demo Dick Marcinko , the sharkman, you'll enjoy this. It does get a bit madcap but was enjoyable. At His "Roguish" Best Where does Rogue Warrior: Domino Theory rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? Marcinko & DeFelice rate up there with Clancy and Cussler, with added humor andan attitude only arrived at by having "been there and done that". What other book might you compare Rogue Warrior: Domino Theory to and why? Clive Cussler's "Oregon Files" books. Similar action and an equally (although fictional) engaging main character. What about Peter Ganims performance did you like? Well read, good pacing, understanding of Marcinko 's own delivery, and a pretty good grasp of accents. Doesn't make an integral female voice sound like a transvestite! Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? Not written with that emotion an intended result. Any additional comments? Simply pure escapism. When I desire erudite prose, I choose another author. When I want good fun, fast action, and irrepressible manliness "Demo Dick" does just fine.

Title: The Kraken Project Subtitle: Wyman Ford, Book 4 Author: Douglas Preston Narrator: Scott Sowers Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 29 mins Language: English Release date: 05-13-14 Publisher: Macmillan Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 542 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: Wyman Ford is back again in The Kraken Project, the thrilling new novel from New York Times best-selling author Douglas Preston. NASA is building a probe to be splashed down in the Kraken Mare, the largest sea on Saturns great moon, Titan. It is one of the most promising habitats for extraterrestrial life in the solar system, but the surface is unpredictable and dangerous, requiring the probe to contain artificial intelligence software. To this end, Melissa Shepherd, a brilliant programmer, has developed "Dorothy", a powerful, self-modifying AI whose true potential is both revolutionary and terrifying. When miscalculations lead to a catastrophe during testing, Dorothy flees into the Internet. Former CIA agent Wyman Ford is tapped to track down the rogue AI. As Ford and Shepherd search for Dorothy, they realize that her horrific experiences in the wasteland of the Internet have changed her in ways they can barely imagine. And theyre not the only ones looking for the wayward software: The AI is also being pursued by a pair of Wall Street traders, who want to capture her code and turn her into a high-speed trading bot. Traumatized, angry, and relentlessly hunted, Dorothy has an extraordinary revelation - and devises a plan. As the pursuit of Dorothy converges on a deserted house on the coast of Northern California, Ford must face the ultimate question: Is rescuing Dorothy the right thing? Is the AI bent on saving the worldor on wiping out the cancer that is humankind? Members Reviews: Dorothy needs to be sucked up by a tornado I've read a bunch of DP's books, both solo & with L Childs, but this is definitely not one of the winners. I agree with a number of reviewers who said it seems like a YA novel, at least in many parts. None of the characters (including Dorothy, and her little dog [?!] too) seemed particularly believable, & the kiss request was just idiotic & creepy. I found the kid so incredibly obnoxious that I kept fervently hoping he'd get killed off; yes, I know teenagers can be a trial, and he did have tough things to deal with (like the foot thing*), but it is possible to write a problematic character without having him be so loathsome that the reader prays for his death. Of course, the fact that his parents were also utterly intolerable caused me to cut him a teeny bit of slack, but they were another problem. I must say, Preston has a knack for creating characters which I absolutely cannot stand; some of the jerks in this book make me think that he's responsible for certain characters in the books he wrote with Childs...the reporter Smithback in many of the Pendergast books springs to mind...the kid in this one could be his clone in obnoxiousness. Preston showed a serious lack of imagination with having two different characters bring somebody out of hiding with the exact same trick-- pretending to abuse something the target cared about. I kept waiting for Ford to mention that he'd learned the trick from the first instance, but it was presented like "what a great idea!" --twice. Overall, the plot was beyond my ability to suspend disbelief. Could a computer program really hide the way Dorothy did at the end? Perhaps I just don't understand the physics of computing well enough, but I didn't buy it, along with quite a few other things.

In his role as an undercover investigator for the British Horseracing Authority, Jeff Hinkley is approached by a multitime champion jockey to discuss the delicate matter of losing races on purpose. Little does he know that the call will set off a lethal chain of events, including the apparent suicide of the jockey and an attempt on Hinkley's own life. Never one to leave suspicious events alone, Hinkley begins investigating the jockey and the races he may have thrown. But there are others out there who intend to prevent his inquiry from probing further...at any cost. Critic Reviews: "Seasoned actor and narrator Martin Jarvis reads with gusto, displaying both his experience and long association with the series, as well as his talent for accents and characterization. Jarvis makes this an easy listening adventure, reflecting the suspense in the plot with excellent timing and creating a wide range of distinct characters that span the whole of the horse-racing scene and the world beyond." (AudioFile) Members Reviews: Good read! The son is starting to get better. I hope he still has a lot of material to write about. The character is likeable but there's just something missing from his inner quality. Can't put my finger quite on it. . I'm sure Mr. Felix Francis will one day get it spot on. Great story - kept me guessing till the end Felix Learned well from his father. The stories examine racing for all the good and the bad. Best narrator Best narrator -- he should do all the Francis' books. He has a beautiful voice and storytelling ability. Not the best Martin Jarvis is always wonderful but he didn't have a outstanding book this time. The plot was ok, fast at some points and slow at others. The protagonist was a little slow to figure out what was going on, the love story was sappy, and the climax not very climatic. Good addition to the series OK, Felix clearly understands his father's formula. at times it was too predictable--I knew exactly when 'the girl' would show up. But the series really needs to come into the 21st century. Women characters need stronger roles! I may try one more but I really hope for more contemporary character development and plotting.

Jance delivers another pulse-pounding tale of suspense where no one is safe from a Fatal Error. Ali Reynolds begins the summer thinking her most difficult challenge will be surviving a six-week- long course as the lone 40-something female at the Arizona Police Academynot to mention taking over the 6:00 AM shift at her familys restaurant while her parents enjoy a long overdue Caribbean cruise. However, when Brenda Riley, a colleague from Alis old news broadcasting days in California, shows up in town with an alcohol problem and an unlikely story about a missing fiancé, Ali reluctantly agrees to help. The man posing as Brendas fiancé is revealed to be Richard Lowensdale, a cyber-sociopath who has left a trail of broken hearts in his virtual wake. When he is viciously murdered, the women he once victimized are considered suspects. The police soon focus their investigation on Brenda, who is already known to have broken into Richards home and computer before vanishing without a trace. Attempting to clear her friends name, Ali is quickly drawn into a web of online intrigue that may lead to a real-world fatal error. Members Reviews: Just OK I had been looking forward to reading more about Ali. The subplot was interesting, but mostly standard formula for thrillers. This story did not have the "punch" of the previous stories. I missed the family connections, her son, her parents and being in the diner, and her relationship with an old boyfriend. No true connection between the characters. Lack of romance or a hint of it. Also, the loss of her website or blog hurt the storyline. I kept waiting for the story to get better. Stay with the familar components of the character's past and relationships. I wonder if I missed an installment of the storyline. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz if this was a free bonus download, you would still feel jipped. You high school math teacher could hold your attention better. Fatal error in purchasing this Audiobook. I've listened to two hours and quit. This belongs in the bodice-ripping "Women's Fantasy Romance" category, not Mysteries and Thrillers. Fatal Error Karen Ziemba does a good job reading this series. She has done all the books so far so she has become Ali to me. I was hoping this book would build on the last book. This story does have her in the police academy and graduating but then no job. I wished she did continue to work at the sheriff office. I hope this was just a side story and will get back to her as a local police officer. The only connection that was continued in this book was Ali helping out her parents at the cafe and the waiting for her grand child to be born. Jance did her usual fast pace writing and excellent command of the English language. Fatal Error This was probably the worst audiobook I have ever listened to, but I made it all the way through. Bad book, bad narration.

But when Ruby receives a sinister email, the case takes a terrifying personal twist. Could the clues to the identity of the killer lie in Ruby's own past? Who can she trust with her secrets? And could Ruby be next? Love You to Death is a serial killer thriller packed with twists. If you like Karin Slaughter, Angela Marsons and Val MacDermid, discover Caroline Mitchell's new series today. Members Reviews: Excellent Suspense Thriller! What did you love best about Love You to Death? This is a great listen, and the first by Caroline Mitchell to really grab hold of me and relentlessly keep me interested. The first in a new Mitchell series featuring DS Ruby Preston, Shoreditch police are up against a truly villainous killer who preys on women who have long ago put a child up for adoption. Who was your favorite character and why? DS Preston walks the edge as a devoted cop with age-long tenuous ties to the criminal underworld, and deftly shows her struggle to play it straight while sometimes resorting to reaching out to gather intelligence from unsavory characters. What does Emma Newman bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Emma Newman's narration was pitch-perfect as she dealt with a wide range of characters and accents both male and female. Her narration lends much to the story. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Absolutely, and I nearly did, without being toooo late for work! Any additional comments? I highly recommend this book. It's got everything great going for it as a psychological suspense novel as well as a fine mystery- wrong turns, grisly crimes, seedy underbelly and laudable cops, and a damn scary killer. I really liked it and look forward to more in this series! Amazing storyline!! Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Yes! The narrator wasn't the best but it's hard to do anything bad to this story. It would pull you in no matter who is reading it to you! She wasn't a bad narrator but there are better. Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How? Can you imagine.doing what you think it right and the best for a child, your child, and later that child comes looking for you with a twisted happily ever after dream?! Thats what this book essentially is about. Theres a lot going on in this book and we get introduced to a lot. I cant wait for book two. I want more Ruby and Nathan!! I get excited for Mitchells books for a lot of reasons but her ability to make characters come alive is a gift, not just her main characters either, I want more of Eve, Worrow, Downes, and Cathy! You can tell everyone has some secrets behind their doors! I really like when I get to know the people behind the story. Ruby sounds like shes going to have a super interesting story and I like her love triangle. Both her options at love seem to be good choices, but of course, she wants the one thats a bit more difficult. Life can never be easy, especially in a thriller! I was through this book in 3 days! I just gobbled it up. Which scene was your favorite? I pride myself on being able to pick out the murderer pretty quickly in books, but this book, I was never sure.

But their Basque guides declare it mission impossible - D-day is less than six days away. Members Reviews: Very enjoyable action thriller. I am a fan of Alistair McLeans, most especialy his two Navarone books-great characters. I was most pleasantly surprised to find this additional sequal. Llewelyn spins an exciting adventure, full of action and suspense. In my opinion he does credit to McLeans characters and had produced a very enjoyable action adventure book. I look forward to reading the next in the series. Poor sorry attempt to piggyback on a really good story One Star Did not compare to the other Navarone books. Do not try to imitate something so great as MacLean!! Imagine the thrill you must feel, picking up a new book by your favorite authou now long gone. You open the book, but after the first chapter, you are utterly disappointed. Sam Llewelyn has abused the good name and memory of Alistair Maclean to his own profits by trying to imitate one of the worlds greatest writers in crime and suspence. There are no points in the book, they are never shocking like the finalé in "Where Eagles Dare", and there is no suspence, since all they do are run from Germans. And to make the Germans shoot people just to get some sort of effect is also abusing the way MacLean wrote his novels. Stay away from this book, but if you want to read the horror to yourself, pleace, borrow it on the library, so you don't have to spend money on that attrap. Five Star Spectacular suspense and adventure !!!

Great with a fast moving engaging plot, a page turner,a great companion for anyone. Thanks, an excellent book, a good listen. Would you listen to To the Hilt again? Why? I would listen again, the storyline was good, I listened over a long weekend, sandwiched between DIY and Gardening, Gave up TV and enjoyed the experience. Wanted to hustle it along occasionally, but that is part of the enjoyment, you felt you were there. Tony Britton's narration is totally inappropriate How could the performance have been better? Tony Britton is a very elderly man. The protagonist is a young man in his twenties and the crackling, plummy voice narrating the story was completely ridiculous and ruined an enjoyable book. Britton's female voices were like something out of Mrs Doubtfire. Sadly, He has lent his voice to many more of D F's books - which I shall be avoiding. Brilliant Subtle twists keeps you thinking and alert to the story, Tony Britton an exalent reader

( Booklist) Members Reviews: Rick Is Great The reader sounds like I would like Tres to sound. Good selection of a reader. The book is excellent. I am a Rick Riodan fan and loved to go to sleep with the lights off listening to this book being read. Please do some more Rick Riodan for all of his fans. Another well done who dunit What made the experience of listening to Rebel Island the most enjoyable? The narrator did a great job with the material. Who was your favorite character and why? Tres Navarre by all means is the best detective, and philosopher. Foul language a turn off. I am a fan of the Kane Chronicles and Percy Jackson. This 1950ish detective book would have been much better if there was less foul language. I know that drug lord books are from the darker side but even the old 50 genre detective stories did not swear this much. I don't think it added to the book. Great as usual Enjoyed this book, it is great!Would love to see more books with these characters. It can't be the end. Tres can get into trouble anywhere. Great story with plenty of twists and hints but still leaves you guessing. There needs to be another book due to too many loose ends.

He never compromises, never lets go, never settles for second best when it comes to his offspring. He's the Apache. With his nose-mounted sensor, night vision system, and 30mm chain gun, Simon Halder isn't your average helicopter dad, and when Island, the daughter he thought he had lost, reappears after eight months of captivity, someone's gonna have to pay. But since pretty much everyone involved has paid already, there's only one target left in sight for this attack helicopter - Island's new boyfriend: the man people just call March. A companion to Book 4 of the Spotless series - Butterfly in Amber - this novella is 24,000 words of gripping hitman versus helicopter dad action, including family reunions, hardcore hovering, veganism, housekeeping, and fatherly love. For your safety, please listen to the books in order. Because otherwise you'll get spoiled. Hard. Members Reviews: so much fun I love both the author and the narrator. I'm excited for the next book in the series. An awesome series! I absolutely love this series. Spotless is such a fun read and it was a joy hearing it. This novella makes me wait impatiently for the next book! Worth the $$S Oh yes--this is fun from beginning to end. I came across Spotless series and so happy I did. The main character is Island who started out as an IT engineer, top or her class, to be abducted by an assassin, to jump all over the world to help find the largest diamond ever and why herwell her mom stole it. Her mother had died years ago, and Island doesnt really know much about anything, until her hazardous adventure begins. Book 1-Spotless, sets into story, characters and the adventure on its way. Great Book Book 2-Beating Ruby, shows us that attraction between Island and March is developing, how life keeps getting in their way as they are in the middle of another adventure. Great Book Book 3-Crystal Whisperer, is where the CSI, the Lions and others they trusted show are out to destroy Island and March, all because of Dries (Islands biological father). Great action and story development. Greater Book Book 4-Butterfly in Amber, takes you places you never expected. I will only say excellent writing and a must read. Island will understand how much she is loved and to what ends her loved ones will go to for her. Ongoing action that you will not want to put down. I LOVE THIS BOOKThis book doesnt miss any character, doesnt miss any action, it has humor (so much humor), battles, love, emotional scenesjust it has everything! NovellaApache Strike Force, is basically, March meets Islands daddy. Very interesting and FUNNY! Its so worth the money. From my understanding, there is only one more book for the series. For all of you how are interested there will be one more book in this series. Island Chaptal and the Ancient Aliens Treasure, coming out 12-12-2017.

I am very glad I went ahead and listen to this one as it was the best one she has done in this series. I had felt in the other books that Ali was lost but this book got her a new job and purpose for the story. Lots of nail biting suspense and still the calm of the family interaction. Great characters in the story. You will enjoy it. Crisp writing - Jance is just getting better I am a long-time Jance fan so expected a good read, but realized part way through that this is some of her best work so far. The writing is absolutely crisp so things unfold at a steady pace while also providing excellent character development and a solid story line. Multiple characters and story threads can be confusing sometimes & I think the audiobook format may accentuate that problem, however, in Trial By Fire, Jance draws the characters and outlines the story threads so distinctly that this is not a problem at all. If you like a good puzzle as well as emotional context, then you will find Trail By Fire right down you alley. I suggest this is a good novel to start with if you are new to Jance's work. Enjoyable Listen Well crafted story, interesting characters, though some of the action is a bit "super-human" style, but enjoyable nonetheless. Typical well-thought-out story line, and character development. Vintage J.A. Jance Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Yes, I would recommend the whole Ali Reynolds Series. Being in the upper middle age bracket I like reading a story with the main character being in the same general age of life. The mystery and twists that Jance puts in her books are good and make me think harder to try to figure out the end game. Who was your favorite character and why? In this book I liked Sister Anselm because she made positive things come from negative situations in her life and others. What about Karen Ziembas performance did you like? Not as good as I would like. Sometimes she seemed to have problems catching the "voice" of each of the characters. Sometimes it seemed she didn't know how to pronounce some words and was too slow in her speech. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Not necessarily. If I would have been able to I would have, but I liked having the break to think about what I had listened to. Ok if you enjoy rambling The prologue is engaging. Unfortunately we don't get back to the plot until part 2 of 2 and then it quickly falters. The story and narrator made all men gruff and curt. Many of the random characters introduced in first half had a grab-bag of social-economic-medical-political maladies who were never involved in the plot and and simply just forgotten. Congratulations if you made it to the end as you show incredible perseverance.

Title: Without Mercy Subtitle: A Body Farm Novel Author: Jefferson Bass Narrator: Tom Stechschulte Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 13 mins Language: English Release date: 10-04-16 Publisher: HarperAudio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 98 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: In the most suspenseful installment of the New York Times best-selling Body Farm series to date, forensic anthropologist Dr. Bill Brockton investigates a bizarre murder - and confronts a deadly enemy he thought he'd put behind bars for good. Forensic anthropologist Bill Brockton has spent 25 years solving brutal murders - but none so horrific and merciless as his latest case: A ravaged set of skeletal remains is found scattered in the woods of nearby Cook County. They are all that is left of a victim who had been chained, hand and foot, to a tree on a remote mountainside. The bones tell Brockton and his longtime graduate assistant, Miranda, that the victim was a young male under the age of thirty. As they dig deeper to establish his identity, they uncover warning signs that long-simmering hatred is about to explode into violence, engulfing the region in chaos. But the shocking case is only the beginning of Brockton's trials. In the middle of the troubling investigation, the unthinkable happens. The most frightening and deadliest criminal Brockton has ever foiled - the sadistic serial killer Nick Satterfield - escapes from prison, bent on wreaking vengeance. And he's had nearly 20 years to plan. Simply killing Brockton isn't enough. Satterfield wants to make his nemesis suffer first, by destroying everything Brockton holds dear: his son, his daughter-in-law, and his grandsons and even Miranda, who's now on the verge of completing her PhD and launching a forensic career of her own. Barraged by dangers striking from all directions, haunted by the ghosts of old cases, and desperate to save those he loves, Brockton finds himself slipping closer to the abyss. Pushed to the edge, he is forced to question the two pillars that have guided his life and his entire career - the justice system and the quality of mercy. Can the two truly coexist? If he cannot reconcile these principles, which will Brockton choose in his ultimate moment of truth? A harrowing, thoughtful, and provocative tale that explores what happens when one honorable, rational man is tested beyond all measure, Without Mercy is a powerful exploration that raises uneasy questions about justice and revenge, compassion and principle, the desire to kill and the will to survive. Members Reviews: Too much idealism not enough story line Jefferson Bass needs to stay with fiction and not use this as a sounding board for his personal ideals Missed the target. What disappointed you about Without Mercy? I have read all the Body Farm novels, and this one seems to be way out of character with the rest of the series. The premise of the book is good, but I felt that the authors' personal political beliefs were on display way too much. What was most disappointing about Jefferson Basss story? The characters seemed to have been "dumbed" down in this book. Also, the Trump bashing and the overly-politicized feel of the book were disappointing. Which character as performed by Tom Stechschulte was your favorite? Mr. Stechschulte performed the book well. I have no favorite character. If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Without Mercy? Most of the Trump bashing.

Benjamin Cooker is a renowned winemaker and critic turned gentleman detective who sets out to find who is trying to take down the prestigious grand cru Moniales Haut-Brion. Is it negligence or sabotage? Who would want to target this esteemed vintner? Cooker and his assistant Virgile Lanssien search the city and the vineyards for answers, giving listeners and inside view of this famous wine region. Treachery in Bordeaux is the first of the 20-book Winemaker Detective series. which delves into the underworld of a global luxury industry. Members Reviews: Great story Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? The stories in this series, starting with this first book, are beautifully told and narrated. The descriptions are vivid and the characters well-developed. So glad there are 20 of these! Good first in series about French t wine-making. I liked the background of characters and the region. Sometimes confused by characters. But enjoyed very much. I'll probably buy the next book in this long series that looks promising!! Great for the wine lover Would you consider the audio edition of Treachery in Bordeaux (Mission à Haut-Brion) to be better than the print version? N/A Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How? Yes, the writing and narration was compelling. It dragged a bit in places but the characters were fascinating and the detail helped bring the book to life. I could picture myself in the places spoken about. What does Simon Prebble bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? A laid back style of reading that is enjoyable to listen to on cool Autumn days. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? France. Mystery. Wine. Any additional comments? Great book, I look forward to reading / listening to the rest of the series. NOT WHAT I THOUGHT Absolutely not what I thought this book would be like. To me it was as if I was taking a lesson on how to pronounce French names, cities or villages. Also similar to a course on different wines. I thought the mystery was lost in the muddle or I just didn't care anymore. If you are not a total wine aficionado then skip this book. I will not be returning to this series. The narrator is excellent and I have heard him many times. Without this narrator I would not have gotten past chapter one.

Menace Audiobook by J. M. Darhower

Darhower Narrator: Kasha Kensington, Iggy Toma Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 51 mins Language: English Release date: 06-20-17 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 92 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: Once upon a time, there was a guy who got so fed up with life that he resorted to murder and mayhem just to feel alive. Lorenzo Gambini is bored. So f--king bored. Most people either annoy him or avoid him, afraid to face him. Figuratively. Literally. With his face partially disfigured, scarred, he looks every bit the monster the stories make him out to be: the notorious Scar. They say he's a sociopath. Maybe he's a psychopath. Whatever path he's on, people tend to stay far away from it. Until one day, a young woman bumps right into him - a woman just as fed up with life, but for much different reasons. With a scarlet letter inked on her wrist and secrets buried deep in her soul, Morgan Myers is running from something...or maybe somebody. Lorenzo isn't quite sure. You can bet your ass he's going to figure it out, though. Contains mature themes. Members Reviews: Buyer be Ware, It's a Cliffhanger Ok, so I'll start off with explaining my review process. A 5 star book must contain the following nine areas: Lots of laughs/heart wrentching or both , hot steamy sex, relatable/believable (I don't care if it's about vampires or mythical creatures, as long as the rest of the story is convincing), excellent narration, detailed but not excessively, keeps your attention and finally, worth listening to more than once. This book was not the best I've ever listened to but not the worst either....was OK. It contained 5 out of the 9. I will however say the suspense was great (and I hate suspenses, I'm the person who reads the last chapter of a book if the suspense is too much of a wait), and the plot was completely unpredictable. It's not your average story but enjoyable. Lastly, I hate cliffhangers with a passion, because I simply cannot wait to know what will happen next, and in many cases, it leaves me pissed off for days; but this one didn't leave me angry at all, I could live a few months or years for the next book. Which translates to being just an OK book. Dark and less than perfect Lorenzo and Morgan are such an interesting pair. Lorenzo is a cold hearted killer and crime boss. Morgan is a stripper with a sad secret. One thing I liked about this story is that it's not hearts and flowers. For one, the hero has a terrifying scar on his face, making him blind in one eye. The heroine picks pockets and often finds herself at the mercy of very predatory men. There is also an interesting but tragic twist in her backstory (no spoilers). While Lorenzo and Morgan do end up together, I would argue that they have more of a FWB situation than a romantic relationship. Their banter was funny despite the dark tone of the story. Just a heads up, this ends on a cliffhanger. I liked Iggy Toma. He really understood the characters and the story. Another great story! I havent read a J. M. Darhower book that I havent enjoyed and this one is no exception. The author created another world that is definitely unputdownable. Amazing! This was probably one of the best audiobooks Ive ever listened to. Well written, superbly narrated, I wished it was even longer. Im glad theres a sequel, which Ive immediately purchased. I wont give away plot details, except to say that this isnt your normal girl-next-door falls for sweet/hot/misunderstood alpha male. These are two broken people living hard, tumultuous lives. They arent perfect or even very nice in many cases.

When one case unexpectedly intersects with the other, the only solution is to find the link between the two and unearth who is pulling the strings and why. Members Reviews: Another winner! Not quite as spine-tingling suspenseful as other Andrea Kane's thrillers, but a winner nevertheless. The FI team are like old friends, any time spent with them is enjoyable. My only complaint is that I wish Andrea would write faster. The wait for her next book can seem agonizingly long, but that's the price you pay for following a good story teller. A face to die for I am just starting to read this one, but know it will be great. Have read many of her stories, and I love her writing. Good storyllines and great character tell good tales/mysteries. Best of the Series I have loved Forensic Instincts since the first book, and each subsequent book has been an equally intriguing read. Itâs exciting that each book is better than the last, and Book 6 is true to form. Always a winning crew! Forensic Instincts are never disappointing! Excellent read...read it straight through the whole day! Good read Love Andrea Kane! The plot twists and turns and has a lot of excitement.

Now, happy to be working again, she looks forward to whipping up a sumptuous dinner for two wealthy clients who are celebrating their new venture - the reopening of the Eurydice Gold Mine. But when one of the men disappears, and her best friend is accused of murder, Goldy must find out who has turned the feast into a fiasco. Davidson's spirited characters and narrator Barbara Rosenblat's irresistible voice create a combination that has just the right touches of humor, danger, and suspense. And all of Goldy's tantalizing recipes are included at the conclusion of The Main Corpse. You'll find tasty dishes like Tomato-Brie Pie and Chocoholic Cookies. There's even a treat for four-footed gourmets: Jake's Dog Biscuits. Members Reviews: More of What I like in a Goldy Mystery! The ingredients I want in a Goldy mystery are all here, and, I might add, in a more generous measure than they have been of late: humor, an involving and intriguing mystery, entertaining banter, and of course, the mouth watering recipes. I found the Killer Pancake to be kind of depressing, so I was relieved that this book was such a better read. Barbara Rosenblat, as always, is a pleasure to listen to; love her. I have already purchased the next title Audible offers, and am looking forward to it. More of the dog, Jake and the nut, McGuire; I don't want to spend my reading time thinking about the vain promises on beauty jars, (apologies to Joni Mitchell), I like my culinary mysteries to have a bit of leavening , and this one has it. Not up to par with other books. I have read the previous books in this series and was satisfied. This book is also pretty good. I don't like the narrator. She sound old. Goldy is supposed to be in her eayly 30s but this woman sounds like she is in her fifties. Another thing I did not like was that Goldy seem to lack common sense in this book. I don't want to give too much away, but there are some things about the law that everyone should know. All in all, it was a nice way to pass the time on my way to work. I will buy the next in the series. Fine Book once again! What did you love best about The Main Corpse? So far, I have read 6 Goldy books and have enjoyed all of them. Well written and a good mystery formation. The characters are all like-able. What other book might you compare The Main Corpse to and why? Ellery Adams Mysteries by the Bay. They both have nice hooks to the stories and solid ones at that. What about Barbara Rosenblats performance did you like? She has become Mrs, M to me. I love her voice and the life she gives to the characters. Any additional comments? Though I may take a break from this long series for a while or two, I will always come back. These books are good read, well written and thought out. I enjoy this series. i enjoy this series, The books are well written & narrated. They are suspenseful & interesting. They keep me going while doing an hour on cardio machine at gym!! Looking forward to all the other "books". A Great read, I love all the Goldie stories Would you consider the audio edition of The Main Corpse to be better than the print version? I love the narrator, and didn't like the new narrator in two of the stories, the recipes are a big plus. I knit alot and enjoy listening to audio books as I knit.

When brilliant TV news producer Virginia Knightly receives a disturbing "MISSING" notice on her desk related to the disappearance of a beautiful young attorney, she can't seem to shake the image from her head. Despite skepticism from her colleagues, Knightly suspects this ambitious young lawyer may be at the heart of something far more sinister, especially since she was last seen leaving an upscale restaurant after a domestic dispute. Yet, as the only woman of power at her station, Knightly quickly finds herself investigating on her own. Risking her career, her life, and perhaps even her own sanity, Knightly dives deep into the dark underbelly of Washington, DC, business and politics in an investigation that will drag her mercilessly through the inextricable webs of corruption that bind the press, the police, and politics in our nation's capital. Harkening to dark thrillers such as Gone Girl, Luckiest Girl Alive, and Big Little Lies, The Cutaway is a striking debut that will haunt you long after you reach the end. Members Reviews: Just not that interesting. This just was not a very interesting or engaging start. I returned it. Narrator was ok but was almost like a news reporter in delivery in that she was very factual and unemotional. Not horrible but not great. Nothing I would listen to again and wouldn't have finished a hard copy book had I started it. The Inside Cut I enjoyed this novel in the life of a reporter and news anchor. This was a fairly decent Audiobook. Tumbs up to the writter and narrator. The killer did truly surprise me, which is very hard to accomplish. I had an inkling in the beginning but quickly dismissed it. This Audiobook is well worth the purchase. Official Review by: Author, Narrator and blogger DeAnn DeVille Not That Great Is there anything you would change about this book? The narrator, I have heard this narrator before and she has an odd speech inflection, almost like a speech impediment. Very hard to listen to especially when she tries to do men's voices. They sound like they have no personality. How did the narrator detract from the book? This narrator is hard to listen to and has a very strange inflection in her voice. She also absolutely cannot do men's voices. It ruins the whole story. If this book were a movie would you go see it? No Any additional comments? The story might have been better if there was a different narrator. Great lead and hooking storyline Any additional comments? Knightly is a producer for a news network. She also has a troubled history with her family and basically a photographic memory. Those traits cause her to focus more on aspects that others might overlook. She sees a piece on a missing woman and can't let it go. Most everyone in her life seems to be trying to hinder her digging deeper into the woman's story. Murder, mystery, politics, detectives, witnesses and more come into play. She isn't a cop, but she is an investigative journalist out to connect the answers and expose the coverups. She's a likable lead, and the storyline is great at keeping the reader hooked and guessing. Anyone could be guilty.

New York Times best-selling author Miranda James returns to Athena, Mississippi, with an all-new mystery featuring Miss An'gel and Miss Dickce Ducote, two snoopy sisters who are always ready to lend a helping hand. But when a stressed socialite brings murder right to their doorstep, even they have trouble maintaining their Southern hospitality. With the Mississippi sun beating down, Angel and Dickce are taking a break to cool off and pet sit their friend Charlie Harriss cat, Diesel, when their former sorority sister, Rosabelle Sultan, shows up at their door unexpectedly, with her ne'er-do-well adult children not far behind. Rosabelle's selfish offspring are desperate to discover what's in her will, and it soon becomes clear that one of them would kill to get their hands on the inheritance. Suddenly caught up in a deadly tangle of duplicitous suspects and deep-fried motives, it will take all of the sisters' Southern charm to catch a decidedly ill-mannered killer.... Members Reviews: Awful Book With No Ending... Also Not About Animal First, the book itself is misleading in that if it were being truthful, instead of a picture of a cat and a dog (which really had nothing to do with the story other than "cameo" appearances), the cover would show a bunch of 80 year old ladies squabbling about money. The book is a "whodunnit", about elderly southern belles who are trying to off one another for a larger piece of inheritance. The book has an extremely slow, plodding pace, no characters that I can really identify with, and also no ending. The book just kind of ends with very few things tied up, and us not really understanding what the killer's motivation was (or even for certain who did the murders, there was just an accusation). Awful, awful book. Too slow This book dragged along. I never felt as if I really got to know the characters. I would not recommend it. Manners above and beyond Bless her Dead Little Heart by Miranda James introduces us to her new Southern Sisters series. When an old college friend shows up at the two elderly sisters Civil War era home, stating her life is in danger the sisters are unable turn her away. What follows is the appearance of their guests familiy and the chaos begins. Diesel, a Maine coon cat is also a guest, as his owner, (Charlie known from Ms James Cat in the Stack series) is out of town. This cozy has enough mystery and charm, but after sifting through many red herrings it ends rather abruptly. However it is a cute book for taking a break from heavier stories. The characters are endearing enough that I may look for the second book of the series when it's released. Enjoyable New Series This series is the spin off to Miranda James' Cats in the Stacks Mysteries and features Miss An'gel and Miss Dickce Ducote. The sisters are pet sitting Charlie Harris' maine coon cat, Diesel, and get themselves involved in an adventure. When their former sorority sister, Rosabelle Sultan, turns up on their door step, claiming that her family is trying to kill her they don't really believe her. After all Rosabelle loves drama! However when someone else falls victim to a trap set for Rosabelle it really looks like Rosabelle's family mean her harm.

Mette Misvr, a three-year-old girl, disappears without trace from the sandpit outside her home. Her tiny, close middle-class community in the tranquil suburb of Nordas is devastated, but their enquiries and the police produce nothing. Curtains twitch, suspicions are raised, but Mette is never found. Almost 25 years later, as the expiry date for the statute of limitations draws near, Mette's mother approaches PI Varg Veum in a last, desperate attempt to find out what happened to her daughter. As Veum starts to dig, he uncovers an intricate web of secrets, lies and shocking events that have been methodically concealed. When another brutal incident takes place, a pattern begins to emerge. Chilling, shocking and full of extraordinary twists and turns, Where Roses Never Die reaffirms Gunnar Staalesen as one of the world's foremost thriller writers. Members Reviews: Good story, Interesting characters...Its a sequel I wish Audible had indicated this book is a second in a series ! It was a good book anyway and the characters (especially main) were worth the time investment. Great Narrator. Well written, tragic tale This story features two cases, separated by time but still bonded together by the thinnest of links. I thoroughly enjoyed the twists and turns, and especially the resolution. Good Story with Satisfying Ending This was a well crafted and well performed story. The Norwegian names of the characters and the fact that there were so many characters made it challenging to keep track of the plot. It would be great if Audible could put a cheat sheet on the site with the characters names and their relations to each other. Five! This reminds me a bit of a Jane Marpke mystery. In the small world this detective moves in, he simply visits and revisits the small cast of characters until he solves the puzzle. I was surprised at the last chapter solution. The author sets a steady pace and invites the reader to join him in quietly questioning everyone. This is a fascinating book. Excellent ! This was my first book by this author , but it will be not the last. How refreshing it was to have relatively complex plots intriguingly unfold & actually intermingle with with minimal predictability . The author did a great job developing the characters, revealing the very delicate, undersides & scars we as humans hold closely . A totally satisfying read with a gracefully executed ending.

Zoe Hunter loves living on the edge. free-spirited and spontaneous, shes built a life stringing together various freelance gigs that keep her bank account barely in the black. But when her ex, Jack, goes missing along with several million dollars from his business and the FBI zeros in on her as a person of interest, Zoes life goes from delightfully unpredictable to downright frightening. Plunged into a world of fake identities, deception, and murder, shes afraid to trust anyone. Zoe impulsively skips town in a search for answers that takes her from Las Vegas to Italy, but instead of tracking down answers, she only uncovers more questions. Who was Jack? Is he dead or did he fake his disappearance? And, what was he mixed up in - art theft, the mafia, espionage, or all three? Members Reviews: Great Cozy Mystery! This mystery not only held my attention but there were a few times when I was on the edge of my seat! The description of archeological Vesuvius was as if I was there! And the twists and turns kept me guessing. Thoroughly enjoy this series This is one of my favorite "cozy mystery" series. I've read all of them and now I'm listening to them as I power walk. My favorite thing about this series is it is so different from most cozy mysteries. It is more of an adventure series than a whodunit. The books are set in various locations around the world. Each book comes to a satisfying conclusion with the tease of more adventure to come. My only issue with the performance is once in a while the character with the southern accent is a bit grating. (And I live in the south.) A great book that the whole family, tween to grandparents, could enjoy on a road trip. I liked the storyline and style good and fun to listen to. I only stumbled a bit every time the narrator tagged and ending consonant on to the next word. the word "and" always tripped me up (an dollways?) Srarted off slow but, finished strong. Good book, narration was very good and added a lot to the enjoyment of the book. 12 Million dollars is a lot of money! Elusive is a good read or in my case a good listen! Plot was good, characters well developed. It kept my interest from start to finish . Narrator was good and for me a narrator can make or break the book. I am ready to read or listen to Elusive 2. I received the PDF version at no cost but I paid for the Audible version. This is my honest review. I have not read anything by this author before and was not familiar with her name. I'm saying this because I will be looking for other books she has written.

Title: Eden Rising Subtitle: A Project Eden Thriller, Book 5 Author: Brett Battles Narrator: MacLeod Andrews Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 43 mins Language: English Release date: 12-03-13 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 400 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: From thriller and suspense master Brett Battles comes Eden Rising, the fifth book in the continuing Project Eden saga. The Sage Flu pandemic is sweeping across the globe, killing almost everyone in its path. Those who have so far avoided its deathly grip struggle to remain among the living. When the message from the man claiming to be Secretary General of the United Nations plays around the world, hope begins to bloom. But the message isn't from the UN, and its promise of a life-saving vaccine is a lie. Project Eden is working toward its endgame, when it will be in full control of what remains of the human race. In Montana, the small group that has remained at the Bunker, after the rest of the Resistance relocated to a safer location, now has no choice but to leave. Daniel Ash needs more time to recover, but a storm is coming. Instead of heading for the remote Resistance base in Nevada, however, the Resistance's leader has a much different plan. A plan that could change everything. Eden Rising is best read after completing volumes 1-4 (Sick, Exit 9, Pale Horse, and Ashes). Members Reviews: Continuing the exciting adventures Have you listened to any of Macleod Andrewss other performances before? How does this one compare? Excellent Narrator! Any additional comments? Once again Brett Battles takes us on an exciting journey across a devastated world. I cant wait for the next part in this series. A word of caution.If you are just starting to read any Brett Battles book you must start with the first book of the series and continue through as each book leaves you on a knife edge and wanting to continue the story. If you dont do this you may be disappointed at the ending of a book and be left feeling unsatisfied. That is Brestt's trade markHe leaves you wanting more of the story. tons of action, can't put this down! I'm not saying this is great literature, or that some of the writing isn't a tad sophomoric, but boy, oh boy, does it catch you and keep you on the edge of your seat! This is so much fun, so real and conspiracy-theory possible that you have to keep listening. Macleod Andrews is a fantastic narrator, as we all know, so his voices, accents, pacing, and expression just add to the excitement. World population is down below one billion, and still falling due to the sinister designs of The Eden Project, out to reboot the human race as they see fit. The flu virus is mostly gone now, but they still have more to spray on you or inject if you don't meet their saving guidelines. And if the flu doesn't kill you, they have guns that will. We now are very attached to the various groups of survivors: of course, the Ashes with Chloe and Matt et al, but also Sanjay and his group in India, Martina and her friends in California, Belinda alone with her journal in her college dorm, and Robert and all the resort folks on Isabella Island off of Costa Rica, as well as the reporter and her camera techie guy trying to get the true news out there. Our friends are threatened, tricked, and even knowingly throwing themselves into danger. We are biting our nails, saying, "no, no, no, get out of there..." But even as The Project seems to be winning, our people are making inroads to the survivors and against the bad guys.

But Tina Evans could have sworn she just saw her Danny in a stranger's car...Then she dreamed that Danny was alive. And when she awoke, she found a message waiting for her in Danny's bedroom - Two disturbing words scrawled on his chalkboard: NOT DEAD. Was this someone's grim joke? Her mind playing tricks on her? Or something ...more? For Tina Evans, it was a mystery she couldn't escape. An obsession that would lead her from the bright lights of Las Vegas to the cold shadows of the High Sierras. A terrible secret seen only by...The Eyes of Darkness Members Reviews: The Eyes of Darkness I enjoyed the book very much. I think Dean Koontz has done it again this was a thrill ride to very end. Weak 3 stars. Good action and suspense. Good plot. Bad dialogue. Weak narrator. STORY BRIEF: Tinas son Danny was on a field trip. The bus was in an accident and he died. The cops recommended she not view the body because it was mangled. She complied. The story begins a year later. A ghost or something paranormal is sending messages to Tina. The messages say not dead. She is also having dreams saying her son is not dead. She believes someone is playing pranks. Tina meets Elliot an attorney. They are attracted to each other and quickly become intimate. He suggests they exhume the body so she can say goodbye to her son which might stop the troubling dreams. REVIEWERS OPINION: It was pretty good, but I did not like the dialogue. It seemed that most of the conversations were one person saying or suggesting something and the other dismissing it as not possible. In the beginning Tina was the doubtful one. For far too long, she kept saying my son is dead, these messages are wrong. I kept thinking she never saw the body. Why does she keep insisting he is dead? Finally she believes the messages are coming from her son. Then Elliot becomes the naysayer. And the conversations are him saying thats not possible. Even after Elliot is convinced, when Tina suggests something, Elliot says how can he do that? Im thinking because you saw him do those other things you idiot. I was impatient with the lack of logic. Sure this is paranormal fiction. But if these things were happening to me in real life, Id be a believer sooner they were. And I wouldnt keep saying the things they said. So I was annoyed. Another piece of dialogue didnt fit. Tina meets with her ex-husband Michael to discuss the pranks. He spends a few minutes telling her what his job is like and some of the interesting things hes seen. It sounded like what he would tell someone on a first date. They were married for many years and divorced. She would have heard all that before. I think the author wanted to include those interesting tidbits in the book, but he picked the wrong characters to do it. He should have had Michael tell somebody else, not his ex-wife. NARRATOR: The narrator Tanya Eby bothered me. When a situation is stressful or tense, she narrates as if shes having a good time talking to her girlfriends. Shes too pleasant sounding when a situation is unpleasant. It doesnt feel like mystery or suspense.

Think Twice Audiobook by Lisa Scottoline

Title: Think Twice Author: Lisa Scottoline Narrator: Jennifer Van Dyck Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 20 mins Language: English Release date: 03-16-10 Publisher: Macmillan Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 379 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: From the blockbuster New York Times best-selling author of Look Again comes a novel that makes you question the nature of evil: is it born in us or is it bred? Bennie Rosato looks exactly like her identical twin, Alice Connolly, but the darkness in Alices soul makes them two very different women. Or at least thats what Bennie believes, until she finds herself buried alive at the hands of her twin. Meanwhile, Alice takes over Bennies life, impersonating her at work and even seducing her boyfriend in order to escape the deadly mess she has made of her own life. But Alice underestimates Bennie and the evil she has unleashed in her twins psyche, as well as Bennies determination to stay alive long enough to exact revenge. Bennie must face the twisted truth that she is more like her sister Alice than she could have ever imagined, and by the novels shocking conclusion, Bennie finds herself engaged in a war she cannot winwith herself. Members Reviews: Just an OK Mystery I found this book to be pretty average in terms of storyline, character development and overall interest. The twin aspect gave the story a bit more depth. But it was just an okay listen in my opinion. The narrator was not consistent, especially when she was attempting to do an accent, and that was annoying and detracted further, sad to say. Sound quality issues The story was not her best but I got through the book wondering how she was going to finish... My biggest frustration was sound quality. I've not had this with Audible in the past so I'm thinking it was the reading and not Audible. There was dead time and skipped words and some long pauses. What's up with that? I'm used to Barbara Rosenblatt and although Jennifer was fine as far as voice quality and narration, I missed Barbara. Hated it I won't make this long. The characters are caricatures. The situations pedestrian and contrived. I neither liked nor empathized with anyone and had to stop listening. After listening to the Nearest Exit, this was fast food without taste. Think Twice I am ususally a big Scottoline fan, but this book was a disappointment compared to her earlier novels. There was no real character development and the story was linear and predictable. The story felt rushed; few chapters were over four minutes long. I found the narration to be particularly annoying. It was very staccato with strange word emphasis and odd pauses mid sentence. Accents and voices were weak and inconsistent. Disappointing I am usually a big Scottoline fan, but this book was such a disappointment. The premise was good, but the execution was one dimensional and harried. Flat is the best way to describe it. Also, the narrator was uninspired, with no inflection or difference between characters.

Mr. Majestyk Audiobook by Elmore Leonard

Title: Mr. Majestyk Author: Elmore Leonard Narrator: Frank Muller Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 27 mins Language: English Release date: 08-29-12 Publisher: HarperAudio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 189 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: Vincent Majestyk saw too much death in the jungles of Southeast Asia. All he wants to do now is farm his melons and forget. But peace can be an elusive commodity, even in the Arizona hinterlands - and especially when the local mob is calling all the shots. And one quiet, proud man's refusal to be strong-armed by a powerful hood is about to start a violent chain reaction that will leave Mr. Majestyk ruined, in shackles, and without a friend in the world - except for one tough and beautiful woman. But his tormentors never realized something about their mark: this is not his first war. Vince Majestyk knows more than they'll ever know about survival... and everything about revenge. Critic Reviews: "Whatever you call his novels, they always read like Elmore Leonard, distinctive in style and vision, brilliantly inventive in plot and characters." ( Los Angeles Times) Members Reviews: Elmore Leonard and Frank Muller: purrrrfection. Faithful readers of mine will have heard me rave on at length about these two guys. I'm gonna do it again. Mr. Majestyk is both Leonard and Muller at the peaks of their careers, in the mid-70's. Both of them continued to do great work for several more decades. Mr. Majestyk appears in a later book by Leonard, when he is a seedy, broken down old judge in Detroit, if memory serves. In this book Vince Majestyk is a strong, brave, healthy young man who just wants to raise melons, have them picked by migrants and then sold to food brokers. His peaceful life is busted in on by gangsters who want him to use boozehounds to do the picking, rather than the skilled Mexican workers who follow ripening crops all over the country, earning enough money to send back to their families, but leading a nomadic, roaming life. Leonard sketches out his hero and several of the workers, in particular one very attractive young woman. It takes Leonard a few paragraphs to establish what lesser writers take chapters to accomplish. As I have quoted Leonard before, when asked why his books are so short, says, "I leave out the stuff that people don't read." Mr. Majestyk resists the encroachment of these lowlifes onto his fields, and he soon runs afoul of one very fowl gangster, Frank Renda. The cat and mouse chase that the two men lead is so thrilling that you will genuinely have trouble stopping to do anything else before you finish this. THIS is why we read audiobooks. Frank Muller was my favorite narrator for years, until he died, and then along came Edoardo Ballerini. Muller's voice is what we talk about when we say "mellifluous," that is, if we say that. His phrasing, pauses, voicing, nuances of individual characters: I could go on praising him for a long time. The book manages to be funny in addition to being everything else that it is. I won't spoil the ending, but you will probably see it coming from a mile away. The enjoyment is in the getting there. Majestyk's heroics are not overblown or cartoonish, although he does manage to off about a dozen bums in the book. The romance is very briefly sketched, but charming nonetheless. I was somewhere in the middle of about five books when I spotted this one: I dropped all the others and read this one start-to-finish without even thinking about the others. Not everything Leonard ever wrote was spectacularly good. A lot of it was. The same is true for Frank Muller. Once you have read Polar Star (please!) you will forgive Mr.

But team member Ezekiel Cross didn't listen and made an astounding discovery - one worth killing for. Now Cross is a ruthless cult leader on an ominous mission. Convinced that he's unlocked the secrets of the Bible's Book of Revelation, he's determined to gather four stone angels that will trigger God's promised End of Days. And he's not alone. A former US president, with a vision of all-out religious warfare, plays a role in the dark plot. But while Cross may have the clues to tracking down the remaining angels, he hasn't been able to match them to real-world locations. For that he has coerced famed archaeologist Nina Wilde into assisting him, using her husband, ex-special forces soldier Eddie Chase, as collateral. With Eddie held hostage, Nina is forced to recover relics of untold power from Rome to Israel. She must find a way to halt Cross's mad quest, because the last piece of the puzzle is at hand - and with it comes the most terrifying revelation of all. Members Reviews: 5 stars? I listened to the first book in this series years ago and found it very entertaining so I just kept going. Ive become a real fan of Nina and Eddie. Its great going along for the ride to find these historic artifacts that are not supposed to even exist! Eddie and Nina are indestructible almost like some superheroes. This book brings back some familiar characters and introduces you to some new villains. Its a world wide wild ride. Theres lots and lots of the usual destruction and carnage on a global scale. You can count on Andy McDermott to keep you interested and even laugh out loud sometimes. I have to say using the artifacts from Revelation was great. If you are a fan of Nina and Eddie you shouldnt be disappointed McDermott is a master! McDermott is a master of keeping every successive title fresh and interesting! I am just as engaged with this book as her first one? I can't wait to listen to her next installment of the Wilde and Chase series!

Title: Mrs Pargeter's Public Relations Author: Simon Brett Narrator: Simon Brett Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 36 mins Language: English Release date: 07-11-17 Publisher: Isis Publishing Ltd Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 12 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: It is her characteristic generosity rather than her love of animals that finds Mrs Pargeter supporting her friend Jasmine Angold at a charity reception for PhiliPussies, whose worthy aim is to rehabilitate stray cats from the Greek island of Atmos into caring English homes. But the evening is to have unexpected consequences. At the event Mrs P is taken aback to meet a woman who claims to be the sister of her late husband, the much-missed Mr Pargeter. This surprising encounter leads to unwelcome digging into past secrets, the discovery of a body in Epping Forest, an eventful trip to Greece - and unexpected danger for Mrs Pargeter. Members Reviews: Deeply Disappointing What did you like best about Mrs Pargeter's Public Relations? What did you like least? As a fan of the early Mrs Pargeter books, I expected sparkling, witty and entertaining. I loved Mrs Pargeter. This book is none of the above. Dull, laboured, and a feeble story. If youve listened to books by Simon Brett before, how does this one compare? See above. I have already abandoned the Fetherings, for the introduction of gratuitous nastiness, and I should have known better, but I had hopes of Mrs Pargeter. Very disappointed. Did the narration match the pace of the story? The narration too is not up to the standard of his other audiobooks. Simon Brett used to be a wizard with voices and characters. Not so now. The narration mainly depends on accents for differentiation, there is no change in timbre or register for the different characters, and the voices are really really dull, as also is the narrative. Lumbering, in fact. Do you think Mrs Pargeter's Public Relations needs a follow-up book? Why or why not? No definitely not, for all the reasons given in other sections. Any additional comments? The continual leitmotiv of Mrs Pargeter's rejection of mention of her husband's crime career, (where her violet eyes become cool and distant), is not only entirely unbelievable but also endlessly repeated and endlessly irritating. The narrative is wordy, slow and dull, not at all the sharp witty style of past years. In fact the laboured narrative, and the repetition of character indicators, bear all the hallmarks of beginner's faults, which Brett patently isn't, or alternatively of utter contempt for his readers. The writing has no verve, no wit, no liveliness, and no humour except of the heaviest. It's as if he's coasting on past glories, doesn't seem to know when to give it up, or possibly views himself as a Grand Old Man of crime writing who can do no wrong.. Pretty pedestrian escapism It was ok, but I wouldn't read another in the series. Lots of plot holes but mildly enjoyable caper. Just good listerning As good as the rest of the series Very happy with it look forword to the next audio book. Mrs. P. does it again! What did you like most about Mrs Pargeter's Public Relations? There are a lot of references made to the first audiobook, Mrs. Pargeters's Principles, but you don't need to have read that one to "get" this one. The one-line descriptions bring you right up to date. What did you like best about this story? The characters themselves, especially Mrs. P herself. The style of writing is as entertaining as Mrs.

C. Jamieson Spencer is sipping cognac when Paris starts to burn. As Communists and Fascists battle in the streets below his hotel balcony, this world-weary foreign correspondent does not bother taking notes. He's too busy falling in love with an enchantingly beautiful stranger. The reporter is just working up the courage to ask the woman her name when a stray bullet pierces her skull. In Paris, love comes quickly, and life ends fast. After Spencer files his story on the riots, his editor recalls him to the United States and assigns him to sail on the new luxury liner Wilhelmina, which carries some of the world's most scandalous figures: from Prince Edward and Wallis Simpson to the Nazi-sympathizing Charles Lindbergh. As the royals play bedroom games, Spencer digs up plenty of gossip - but the real story starts when the lifeboats hit the water. Members Reviews: Very interesting book From the first page I was involved with the characters in this book. It is so descriptive it brings the reader right into the story and even though these events never really took place in my imagination I could see it proceeding as if it actually did. Well worth your time. Usually I love Mr. Kilian's period mysteries Usually I love Mr. Kilian's period mysteries. But this have far too many characters and sub plots. His usually tightly crafted story is lost on a rambling, shambles or a tale. It is easily a 120 to 150 pages too, too long.

But, in addition to possessing the beauty of a Bollywood princess, Hope has other unique traits. For she is a half-demon - a human fathered by a demon. And she has inherited not only a gift for seeing the past but a hunger for chaos - along with a talent for finding it wherever she can. Naturally, when she's chosen by a very dangerous group for a very dangerous mission, she jumps at the chance. The head of the powerful Cortez Cabal - a family that makes the mob look like amateurs - has a little problem in Miami: a gang of wealthy, bored offspring of supernaturals is getting out of hand, and Hope is needed to infiltrate. As spells, astral projections, and pheromones soar across South Beach, Hope weaves her way through its elite hot spots, posing as upscale eye candy and reading the auras of the clientele - and potential marks. As it turns out, Hope is a little too good at this job, and soon she's in a little too deep, needing to be bailed out by her jewel-thief werewolf ex-boyfriend and by the Cortez heir himself. And when a killer goes to work, Hope is among many targets at the pinnacle of Cabal rule. For a woman who didn't know what she was getting into, there's only one way out: it's time for Hope to unleash her most potent primal instincts - and open herself, mind and body, to everything she most fears...and desires. Sexy and suspenseful, Personal Demon is a thrill ride through a world on the wild side of our own. Critic Reviews: "Armstrong excels in depicting Hope's transformations." (Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: A Woven thriller -- the series continues to rock In Personal Demon we finally see the see a lot more of Carl Marsden. Till this novel, he has been a rather minor character even in the novel he was introduced. We are also introduced to a new type of supernatural -- Hope Adam, again i minor character from an earlier series. Paige and Lucas are back and we see some kicking of butt in the Cabals. One of the things I like about Armstrong is she doesn't recycle plots. She always has some original, something thrilling. Romance is a background for her story, binding the plot points together instead of being the itself. In this novel, there were two narrators which worked okay. I think is prefer one and Merlington gets my vote. If you read the series, this is a definite good read, it may stand on its own but you are missing a great deal. Give it a read. Good Series The best stories of the Otherworld series are the first three with Elena and the werewolves, but all the others are worth reading. I listened to the Jamie Vegas story, also on Audio and liked it very much, but I was immediately disappointed that the same narrator was used for Hope Adams' voice in this story. The narrator does not have a young person's voice and I had already associated her with Jamie Vegas. Since the author switches the heroines in each story, someone should consider switching the voices. It is a very important aspect to the performances. This story is good, but it isn't the best. Hope is a weak character. She's young and mostly helpless. Sometimes, internal conflict can begin to sound tedious. Personal Demons This was a better book than I thought.

It is as if a black hole has swept everything away.... Israel is threatening nuclear war. And someone, or something, is draining the fluids from the bodies of Iranian soldiers in the desert. If a black hole has taken everything, could something have come back? And then another radiation 'event' occurs. An ancient prophecy is unraveling. Members Reviews: Author flattens plot Would you consider the audio edition of Dark Rising to be better than the print version? Have not read the print version. Have you listened to any of Sean Mangans other performances before? How does this one compare? Love Sean Mangan's work Any additional comments? Please, much as I like and have listen to the authors work, his comments at the start of the story gave away the basic plot line ! It's deflating knowing whats going to happen. Please! No more author spoilers at the start of stories ! No Spark, No Excitement Has Dark Rising turned you off from other books in this genre? Absolutely not. Any additional comments? I have not finished the book, not sure if I will spend the time because there are some good books in my Library waiting for me. In my opinion, the author does not have strong writing skills, but his first book was exciting enough to forgive and forget the writing style. This book just does not deliver the excitement, but it might near the end...yet I am asking myself is slogging through the main body worth it?. I will definitely try the next installment, hoping for better. Clicky-clack mind rending silent scream + a suck If Alex becomes any more Super, I don't know how the author will keep him within the pages of the book! And I don't want Alex popping out of the pages and hitting me with his powerful kick! I think the monster from this book, from the other side of a black hole, is related to the monster living under the ice in book one - well, they both click and clatter and are ginormous and have reaching tentacles/limbs; one mimics you and then sucks you dry, the other skips the mimic part and gets right down to sucking your juicies. There is a bit of a plot here though - stopping the BAD extremists from, SURPRISE, the middle east. The monster is just a side serving of excitement, not the main course (though it does take up a lot of story space). The main course is stopping extremists from plunging the world inside out through a black hole in order to a) corner the market on power generation and b) suck the world inside out through a black hole. Yes, yes, b) kinda eliminates the need for a), but this is fiction after all. Over all, it is fast paced and reasonably believable. I think it might be just a bit better than book one, because the plot seemed to make more sense (well, assuming you believe humans can/would try to create a black hole). Compared to book 1: Story is more believable, Alex is less believable, the monster is the same believable. Solid 3 in the action adventure genre. Narration is fine (skip the authors intro at the start - it will just annoy you).

This unlikely team discovers a vein of nearly unfathomable iniquity running through the Vanger family, astonishing corruption in the highest echelons of Swedish industrialism and an unexpected connection between themselves. Contagiously exciting, it's about society at its most hidden, and about the intimate lives of a brilliantly realized cast of characters, all of them forced to face the darker aspects of their world and of their own lives. Translated by Reg Keeland. Members Reviews: Wishing I got the "unabridged" version Martin Wenner did a marvelous job narrating. I believe equal or better than Simon Vance, (whom I heard on "Played with Fire". I also watched the movie and was sorry to see it rushed the ending. After listening to the "unabridged version" of "Played with Fire" I wished I purchased the "unabridged" version of "Dragon Tatto". I would agree with some of the comments that it starts off slow. As far as characters are concerned....there are far fewer in this book than the second book. I read them both in order and watched the movie in between the two. Slow start, worth the wait This is a mystery about twisted human beings, whose secrets are uncovered and avenged by other twisted human beings. However, you would never guess it was a mystery about people judging by the first 100 or so pages. A large chunk of the beginning of the book has to do with a financial scandal. Get past that and you'll meet some really interesting characters. While the ending ties back to the financial scandal, it's not enough of a connection to justify so much time and detail up front. Was too short This plot was so well devised that I wish i had bought the unabridged version. Many said the long version was slow in the beginning, but I really did not want the abridged version to end; 8 hours was not near enough! The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo Would you listen to The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo again? Why? I listened to it twice. So many details to the book - some missed the first listen. Excellently written book; ending not as predictably as so many are. Takes a while to really get Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How? The plot did keep me interested. And there was a What about Martin Wenners performance did you like? I did like Wenner's performance. He read it it a way that sounded true to the fact of being written in Swedish and translated into spoken British-English, not spoken American-English. I actually read the book first myself. Was so hard to get into but loved it in the end. I listened to it because I wanted to hear it read with the right culture emphasis. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Wanted to listen all in one sitting but was not able to do so. Any additional comments? Can't wait to read/listen to next in the series. Stand out book! Where does The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo rank among all the audiobooks you???ve listened to so far? I loved the suspenseful plot.

Title: The Black Painting Author: Neil Olson Narrator: Emily Woo Zeller Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 47 mins Language: English Release date: 01-09-18 Publisher: Harlequin Audio Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: An atmospheric literary mystery about an infamous painting rumored to be cursed - and the family torn apart by its disappearance. There are four cousins in the Morse family: perfect Kenny, the preppy West Coast lawyer; James, the shy but brilliant medical student; his seductive, hard-drinking sister Audrey; and Teresa, youngest and most fragile, haunted by the fear that she has inherited the madness that possessed her father. Their grandfather summons them to his mansion at Owl's Point. None of them have visited the family estate since they were children, when a prized painting disappeared: a self-portrait by Goya, rumored to cause madness or death upon viewing. Afterward, the family split apart amid the accusations and suspicions that followed its theft. Any hope that their grandfather planned to make amends evaporates when Teresa arrives to find the old man dead, his horrified gaze pinned upon the spot where the painting once hung. As the family gathers and suspicions mount, Teresa hopes to find the reasons behind her grandfather's death and the painting's loss. But to do so she must uncover ugly family secrets and confront those who would keep them hidden. A masterful, deftly plotted novel, The Black Painting explores the profound power that art, and the past, hold over our lives. Critic Reviews: "A riveting psychological thriller, a serious dissection of a dysfunctional family and an exploration of the power of art to change lives." (Associated Press) "A fast-paced psychological thriller with a fascinating set of characters. A real page-turner." (B. A. Shapiro, author of The Art Forger) Members Reviews: the black painting "The Black Painting" follows the Morse clan, as narrated by granddaughter Teresa, after Alfred, the patriarch of the family, is found dead, with an expression of horror in his eyes, staring at the place where the mysterious and cursed Goya painting used to hang, but was stolen several years prior. A fight immediately commences over his estate, with his son Philip (Teresa's uncle) re-hiring art theft investigator Dave to try to find it. Meanwhile, Teresa is to stay at the house as she has been appointed executor for the arts portion of the estate. Problem is, that Teresa is sensitive and not privy to the secrets of the other family members swirling around her, kept both by her uncle Fred (a financial entrepreneur who has a habit for gambling with money), uncle Philip (an attorney who has been accused of being involved in the theft of the painting by the very man he hired to investigate the theft), as well as their children and Teresa's cousins--dark-tempered Ken, not-to-be-trusted Audrey, and strange James. The story is interspersed between Teresa's chapters, and the investigator's, Dave's, chapters. It would have been helpful to have a family tree diagram at the beginning of the book, but overall I managed to get used to the characters--you just have to pay attention when they're introduced. The first three fourths of the book were well-done, but I found the resolution not as satisfying. It is unpredictable, but a bit too coincidental for my taste. I also don't like it when all the characters sort of randomly show up at the same time. Otherwise, a very well written story, with a bit of art-history involving Goya along the way. Mystery, Romance and More Well, this one was a surprise.

Casino king Jerry Bagger from The Collectors is hunting Annabelle Conroy, who conned him out of millions.

Yet all their skills may not be enough when a deadly new opponent rips off the veneer of Stone's own mysterious past. Bagger's menace pales next to newcomer Harry Finn's lethality. Seeming a normal family man, Finn has already killed three men, with more targets to come. When Finn also sets his bull's-eye on Stone, his reason why will be the greatest shock of all, making listeners reconsider their beliefs in good and evil. As bodies and institutions topple, the story rockets toward a shattering finale that will leave the survivors of this explosive tale changed forever. Critic Reviews: "Gripping, chilling and full of surprises." (Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: Gripping story I enjoyed the listen - lots of pace and interest Sweet revenge! I love the revenge plot! The story was good. Holds your attention. I would recommend to friends. Not Baldacci's Best, but it will do! Typical Baldacci - if you like him, you'll like this book! The characters are a little predictable - that's why it didn't get a better rating, but it will make your commute more interesting and isn't that what this is all about?

Title: Dead on Arrival Subtitle: A Novel Author: Matt Richtel Narrator: Jonathan Yen Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 24 mins Language: English Release date: 08-01-17 Publisher: Harper Audio Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 39 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: A mysterious disorder threatens to destroy the world in this high-concept thriller from Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times reporter Matt Richtel, which combines medical science, cutting-edge technology, and breathtaking suspense in the vein of Michael Crichton. An airplane lands at a desolate airport in a remote Colorado ski town. Onboard, Dr. Lyle Martin, a world-class infectious disease specialist, is brusquely awakened to shocking news: Everyone not on the plane appears to be dead. A lethal new kind of virus may have surfaced, threatening our survival, and now Martin - one of the most sought after virologists on the planet until his career took a precipitous slide - is at the center of the investigation. The symptoms are the most confounding the experienced doctor has ever seen. Is it the work of terrorists? A biological attack? A natural occurrence? As word of the deadly sickness spreads, panic leads to violence and chaos. Armed and terrified partisans and patriots, stoked by technology and social media, have dug in, unknowingly creating fertile ground for the deadly syndrome Dr. Martin has begun to identify. As the globe begins to unravel and paranoia and hatred take hold, Martin is forced to face a question as terrifying as this syndrome itself: Is the world better left unsaved? Moving at a breakneck pace from the labs of the Centers for Disease Control to the secret campus of Google X to the marble halls of the Capitol, Dead on Arrival is a brilliantly imaginative high-concept thriller that draws on Matt Richtel's years of science and technology reporting for the New York Times and establishes him as one of the premier technological thriller writers working today. Members Reviews: The basic premise of this novel is absurd! The basic premise of this book is absurd and it goes on way too long. Dragging and dragging the story out for no apparent reason. Characters not very engaging or authentic. Hence, I do not recommend it. I read Matt Richtels book A Deadly Wandering and thought it excellent. So this was very disappointing.

Title: The Outfit Author: Richard Stark Narrator: John Chancer Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 7 mins Language: English Release date: 01-13-11 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 77 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: The Outfit was organized crime with a capital O. They were big. They were bad. They were brutal. And no crook ever crossed them and lived to enjoy it. Except Parker. So they wanted Parker dead, and a hit man proved they meant business. Too bad for the Outfit he missed. Ripping off the Outfit was the easy part of Parker's game. Going one-on-one with Bronson, the Outfit's Big Boss, was the hard part. Members Reviews: Book 3 Parker is hunted by the mob Parker has his straight identity discovered by the mob. Wanting to be left alone, he goes on the offensive disrupting the mobs revenue stream, this topples the top man from his position, and the new boss makes peace with parker The Outfit (mafia) sends a hitman to kill Parker. Parker makes the Outfit sorry it ever tangled with him. Im enjoying these stories and find myself wanting to read one right after the other. Like potato chips, you cant eat just one. These are about bad guys. They rob. They kill. They dont go to jail. Theyre smart. Its fun to be in this world for a change. A few times Im delighted or surprised with something. I liked the plot in this one. The narrator John Chancer was ok. This is book 3 in the 24 book series. Its about 2/3 or less than a typical novel length. Its better to read the first three books in order because they have a flow. In book 1 Parker clashes with the Outfit. In book 2 Parker gets facial plastic surgery so the Outfit cant find him. In book 3 the Outfit knows about Parkers surgery, so Parker takes action. Genre: noir crime fiction Better than the movies If you could sum up The Outfit in three words, what would they be? Dark, gritty, entertaining What other book might you compare The Outfit to and why? Maybe some Dashiel Hammett novels, but much darker. Have you listened to any of John Chancers other performances before? How does this one compare? No. If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be? He's no hero, but you want him on your side. Any additional comments? I'll be getting more of the series. Yes, they are dated but so are novels by Dash Hammett, Raymond Chandler and even Robert B. Parker.

Darcie Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 29 mins Language: English Release date: 11-08-11 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 427 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: A billionaire Senator with money to burn... A thirty year old science experiment, about to be revealed... Seven people, marked for death, not for what they know, but for what they are... THE LIST by JA Konrath History is about to repeat itself THE LIST is a bit of a departure for Konrath, who is known for his Jack Daniels mystery series. It's a technothriller about a group of ten people who each have tattoos of numbers on the bottoms their feet, and don't know why. One of them, a Chicago Homicide cop named Tom Mankowski, has had one of these strange tattoos since birth. When he investigates a violent murder and discovers the victim also has a tattooed number, it sets the ball rolling for an adventure of historic proportions. To say more would give away too much. Like the Jack Daniels series, THE LIST combines laugh out loud humor with serious suspense and thrills. ABOUT THE KONRATH/KILBORN COLLECTIVE The Konrath/Kilborn Collective is not a series. It's an ongoing collection of horror and technothriller novels that can each be read as a standalone. Some feature characters who appear in more than one story. If you are a more sensitive (or adventurous) reader, the Konrath/Kilborn scale rates specific categories from 1 (lowest) to 10 (highest) to give you some idea if this is your kind of book. THE LIST by JA Konrath Scary - 6 Violent - 6 Funny - 7 Sexy - 4 Crossover - Characters from THE LIST appear in HAUNTED HOUSE and WEBCAM Members Reviews: YOU ACT LIKE YOU HAVE A SAGGY DIAPER MAYBE HE'S RIGHT ABOUT THIS WORLD DOMINATION THING? This is my seventh book by Konrath and the more of his stuff I read the more I like him. None of his writings will ever win any awards for being great literature, but I have never been a fan of great literature. The story is very far fetched and not too believable. It is escapism literature with lots of lol moments. Think more in terms of John Scalzi. I can't really mention the characters, as that is part of the story concept and could ruin your listening ahead of time. This is a quick read that won't tax your mind much. If your up for a light funny read give it a shot. One more thing. I usually don't comment on other reviews, as everyone has a right to their own likes and dislikes, but toward the bottom of the page one reviewer who seems to be some type of homophobe goes on about two characters being homosexuals. Number one, if there are homosexuals in the book, I don't see how that would detract from the entertainment value and fun there is in listening to this book. Number two, if there are homosexuals in the book, I totally missed it. There are two guys in the book, Roy and Bert, who start out hating each other and who end up best buds and there antics are some of the funniest parts of the book. I am not giving anything away here, it is pretty obvious from the start how this relationship is going to turn out. Parts of the book are predictable, but that is part of the fun and there are parts that will surprise you and that is fun too. If joking around with a friend of the same gender makes you gay, then call me queer. Bill: How's if feel to get your ass kicked by William Shakespeare? Tom: It's better then reading your plays. Great Listen! I really enjoyed this story. For me it was one of those that I couldn't stop listening to. It is a fast paced, interesting thriller, with great characters and even some good humour.

Sense of Evil Audiobook by Kay Hooper

Title: Sense of Evil Author: Kay Hooper Narrator: Alyssa Bresnahan Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 28 mins Language: English Release date: 05-01-12 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 186 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: New York Times best-selling author Kay Hooper serves up another chilling psychological thriller that will have listeners on the edge of their seats. Beautiful, successful, blonde women are being murdered in a small, peaceful town where such horrible atrocities are not supposed to happen. Police Chief Rafe Sullivan knows he has to find the killer fast, but he doesnt know where to begin. Enter FBI profiler Isabel Adams. Shes tough, fearless, and determined. Not to mention psychic - and blonde. Members Reviews: Book That Doesn't Know What It Is SENSE OF EVIL is a cross-genre book that doesn't really have an identity. As a result, the book is often muddled and ultimately unsatisfying in many aspects. At the same time, the book has a wonderful premise and fascinating characters with dark pasts. This paranormal suspense thriller has a dash of romance that shows promise but keeps the characters somewhat distant. THE STORY: Isabel Adams is an agent with the Special Crimes Unit of the FBI. Isabel is clairvoyant and has come to town to help with a serial killer who has targeted blonds who are strong and independent. When she arrives in town, the police chief is incensed because Isabel herself is strong, independent and blond. Isabel doesn't intend to be a target, but expects that she will be. Isabel begins to have problems with her abilities and also is attracted to the police chief which complicates the investigation. Isabel is determined to find the killer as she has a dark history with evil and has been hunting this killer for a long time. Rafe Sullivan is the police chief in town. He is determined to find the killer who is stalking the women of his town. He calls in the SCU to help but doesn't expect someone like Isabel. He is attracted to her and wants to protect her from danger. Rafe has his own secret that he is trying to keep from the psychics who have come to help. Can Isabel and Rafe work together to find the killer before he finally gets around to killing Isabel and disappearing again? OPINION: Rafe and Isabel have one of the most interesting stories of any of the couples in the series. Isabel has a sad, dark story involving her activation of her psychic powers. Rafe's story is just as compelling. If the romance had been allowed to take the forefront in this book, I think it would have been a great book. Instead, just when Rafe and Isabel reach the point where they should be resolving their relationship, Hooper decides to give the reader only the view of a third party. This creates a distance between the reader and the couple. It feels that there was a fear that this would turn into more of a romance than the author preferred and thus the romance was abruptly cut short. This left a major part of the story feeling unfinished and unresolved. My complaint about this series of books when written this way is that there is not much to the suspense/thriller portion of the book once the relationship is removed. The book is not so scary that it will keep a reader up at night. The book is not a mystery that can actually be solved since all the information for the solution is kept secret until the end. The major twist in this book was one that I figured out early in the story because it seemed obvious who did the crime even if I could not figure out why. Without the romance, this book would not be interesting at all.

There's no explanation, no website - just a grainy image and a phone number. She takes it home to her family, who are convinced it's just someone who looks like Zoe. But the next day, the advert shows a photo of a different woman, and another the day after that. Is it a mistake? A coincidence? Or is someone keeping track of every move they make? I See You is an edge-of-your-seat psychological thriller from one of the most exciting and successful British debut talents of 2015. Members Reviews: Slow start with a satisfying ending I had trouble finishing this book at first. I could not connect to the characters, but i have kept on listening. In the end, it was worth the time. good one my first audible and enjoyed it.. Story is interesting and thrilling.. climax is fantastic.. Loved it I See Something Very, Very Impressive Here! My first look at a Clare Mackintosh book and Ive come away very, very impressed. At first I felt as if the book wasnt quite going to really take off in any great way but the time taken to paint sheer normality of modern family life in London made what was to happen as the story unfolded all the more meaningful. Two very strong and deep female lead characters, one a normal working mum and the other a discredited but dedicated police constable are given genuine depth and persona. The narration by Rachel Atkins is extremely strong, clear and suited to the material. She smoothly moves the story forwards as it gradually unfolds and reveals its twists and turns. In summary this is a deeply satisfying, well produced thriller with characters that are rendered with detailed clarity and warmth by the author. What happens to them matters. What happens to them is both frightening and credible with plenty of twists and guessing games along the way. I have no qualms whatsoever about recommending this one! A top-notch thriller. First class. Any additional comments? This story twists and turns and keeps you guessing right up to the final chapters. And, even then,it delivers a jaw-dropping, shocking twist in the epilogue. Fabulous narration, a great plot, a smashing cast of characters and terrifyingly believable. I loved Clare Mackintosh's first novel, I Let You Go, and this story is every bit as good. 10/10. gripping A brilliant performance of a gripping story. I was scared witless whilst listening to it but couldn't stop!

Sent to Fallujah and captured by insurgents, he is asked to kill children not unlike his own. The method: a meticulous, excruciating death by broken bones that his captor has forced him to learn. Returning home after the ordeal, a new crisis awaits. A serial killer is on the loose, and his method of killing is the same. Ryan becomes a prime suspect, which isn't even the worst of his problems: Ryan's daughter is BoneMan's latest desire. In a story that is devaststing in its skill and suspense, Ted Dekker brings to bear his ability to terrify and compel in BoneMan's Daughters. Members Reviews: This is one sick twisted character Very well written. This is the first time I have listened to Ted Dekker. I really enjoyed listening, several time I was unable to get out of the car when I had arrived at my destination. I really enjoyed the conversation with the author at the end of the book, great touch. Not for the faint hearted Excellent listen. Narrator does a great job of making the bad guy sound totally creepy.The book was pushing the limites of what I like to listen/read. I don't like to read about physical violence and if that type of stuff gets to you this may not be a good choice. That aside, it definetly kept my attention. It gives you a good look at evil and how evil like to justify its actions. If you read the bible you will be able to identify with the obvious and underling thems of the book. Give this a chance! Out of the 8 reviews so far, 5 are negative, so I felt compelled to say a positive word. This was very thrilling and kept me glued to my ipod. I also want to give a word of advice to Audible listeners. Don't reject a book here based on a few reviews here. Look at reviews on other sites like Amazon.com first. I almost made the mistake of rejecting this book based on those negative reviews here. It would of been my loss. Creepy in a good way My wife likes spooky, scary and serial killers, I like thrillers and suspense. We listened while on a trip and we both enjoyed it very much. Serial killer with a twist. We are looking at other Dekker books. Boneman's Daughters An excellent mystery/thriller with a message of fatherly love. Great read!

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 265 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: When a sinister Egyptian spotted at the crime scene turns up in Mazghunah, Amelia can't resist following his trail. There's a mysterious scrap of papyrus and a missing mummy case to investigate, while she keeps at least one eye on their precocious son Ramses and his Egyptian cat. But the digging turns truly dangerous when Amelia and Emerson look for answers in an ancient tomb - one that could become their grave. Critic Reviews: "Between Amelia Peabody and Indiana Jones, it's Amelia - in wit and daring - a landslide." ( New York Times Book Review)"[Elizabeth Peters] scores again with a riotously witty, tense, and cunningly constructed tale." ( Publishers Weekly)"Amelia Peabody Emerson, archaeologist extraodinaire, and arguably the most potent female force to hit Egypt since Cleopatra, is digging again!" ( Philadelphia Inquirer) Members Reviews: Okay so the accent is missing.... Why Susan O'Malley chose to not do an English accent I don't know, but she captures the personality of Amelia, Emerson and Ramses perfectly. It's that practicality to the extreme of Amelia's that makes the stories entertaining and very funny. I may be the exception in preferring O'Malley's reading but I think she does a much better job of capturing the essence of the characters. As for the story itself, not my favorite, but nevertheless very enjoyable. Better versions This is a really fun series and I was so excited to see that Audible was beginning to carry it. However, this version has a vastly inferior narrator that will detract from the pleasure of the book for anyone who has already listened to the best. The author must have sold the rights to Blackstone early in her career before she could afford to be choosy about who would narrate. It will be worth your while to seek out this other narrator. wonderful time Great reader, great book. Barbara Rosenblat makes it come alive with her different voices. Need that same narrator I've listened to Book 1 and 2 of the Amelia Peabody series with Susan O'Malley narrating. I have also sampled the narration of Barbara Rosenblat. Rosenblat's cadence turns Amelia into a cold, unsensuous old maid. Her narration lacks the passion of Susan O'Malley's fetching and lively "conversation." Dated and with odd narration gaps I find the authors POV to be rather dated and narrow minded. Also, there are very odd gaps in the narration where another womans voice pops up mid sentence. Its jarring to listen to.

The autopsy reveals evidence of long-term abuse, of ritualistic self-mutilation, but when Sara and police chief Jeffrey Tolliver start to investigate, they are frustrated at every turn. The children surrounding the victim close ranks. The families turn their backs. Then a young girl is abducted, and it becomes clear that the first death is linked to an even more brutal crime, one far more shocking than anyone could have imagined. Meanwhile, detective Lena Adams, still recovering from her sister's death and her own brutal attack, finds herself drawn to a young man who might hold the answers. But unless Lena, Sara, and Jeffrey can uncover the deadly secrets the children hide, it's going to happen again. Critic Reviews: "The undertone of violence is pervasive, even at quiet moments...amplifying Slaughter's equation of intimacy with menace and placing her squarely in the ranks of Cornwell and Reichs" (Publishers Weekly) "With the same graphic detail found in her first novel and in those by Patricia Cornwell and Kathy Reichs, Slaughter has again written a fast-paced thriller for those not faint of heart." (Library Journal) "This is just the ticket for readers who like their crime fiction on the dark side." (Booklist) Members Reviews: Great read, I can't put her books down. What made the experience of listening to Kisscut the most enjoyable? very exciting book Who was your favorite character and why? Chief Toliver, seems very smart What about Patricia Kalembers performance did you like? well done Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? yes Any additional comments? I would recommend all of Karin's books. They are very exciting and I love the feeling of not wanting to put a book down because you want to know what happens next. That doesn't happen very often. CAUTION! While this author's imagination is a nice change from "the killer did unimaginable things" and leaving it at that, the topic to this particular book (child rape/exploitation/porn), its treatment, and the unresolved finale was too much for me. A topic such as this need closure, not possible continued revisitation. And the villan seems to "leap tall buildings in a single bound." The author lost one reader w/ this one and its handling. Old Timer This book set a record for loosing and confusing me; about three minutes. Whether the remainder of the book rehabilitates its horrid opening, I can not comment. I will leave that to others. disappointing Heroines should never be wimpy,emotional on the job or think it alright to become emotionally vulnerable to a teenage boy. My heroines need grit and substance. I could not even finish the book as I was gagging on the interaction between a grown, supposedly professional woman of the law and a sly troubled child!! Sorry Karin Slaughter but I shall not be reading any of your books again for awhile. the ending was horrible! the end was so abrupt that it didn't even say what happened to the characters. just left you hanging

Title: End of Watch Author: Stephen King Narrator: Will Patton Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 55 mins Language: English Release date: 06-07-16 Publisher: Hodder & Stoughton Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 89 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: End of Watch is a compelling and chilling suspense novel which sees retired detective Bill Hodges back on the trail of his nemesis, Brady Hartsfield, the criminal the press called The Mercedes Killer. Foiled in his attempt to commit a second mass murder, Hartsfield is confined to a hospital brain-injury unit in a seemingly unresponsive state. But all is not what it seems: Brady is able to influence both his physician and the hospital librarian to commit crimes in the outside world. Now the technological genius has created a hypnotic electronic fishing game which compels users to commit suicide, and he is determined to target the three people who put him in hospital: Hodges and his sidekicks, Holly and Jerome. Members Reviews: Great narration The trilogy concludes with the resurrection of the evil Mercedes Man. Typically great characters, including the villains. The narration was excellent, especially for Holly, who is on the autistic spectrum. The end of the Bill Hodges Trilogy Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Yes. An easy, entertaining read. Many of the concepts such as core consciousness, mind control and hypnosis are complicated and accepted in the text without explanation. Other concepts such as mind invasion ( one mind physically taking over another) are fantasy, but interesting What was one of the most memorable moments of End of Watch? When Brady Hartsfield finds he has the power to jump into other peoples minds. When Bill Hodges finds he has terminal pancreatic cancer. What about Will Pattons performance did you like? Great performance. Entertaining Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? No. The concepts were too far out to evoke an emotion in me. Sad to see the series end , though. Any additional comments? At times Stephen King suffers from being a horror writer. He is writes well enough and his concepts are elegant enough that they could stand on their own without sensationalism. However, Can' t argue with success. Not the best of King I loved Will's performance. The story though was wanting and I forced myself to just complete it because it is a Stephen King novel. I loved his work growing up but am not sure why this series was hard for me to love. I listened to all three books. I love the second one better than the first and this last one. I found the Mountain Man series by Keith C Blackmore a much better book by far compared to this book by King. End Of Watch Frackin' Loved It. My first audible. And who better than Stephen King as my first...who better? Know one. Interesting This was my first audible book I found it interesting and could imagine the places it was set in good story .

To the Bright and Shining Sun Audiobook by James Lee Burke

Title: To the Bright and Shining Sun Author: James Lee Burke Narrator: Tom Stechschulte Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 10 mins Language: English Release date: 04-02-13 Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 116 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: In this novel, Burke brings his brilliant feel for time and place to a stunning story of Appalachia in the early 1960s. Here Perry Woodson Hatfield James, a young man torn between family honor and the lure of seedy watering holes, must somehow survive the tempestuous journey from boyhood to manhood and escape the dark and atavistic heritage of the Cumberland Mountains. Members Reviews: Classic! In the rich tradition of Steinback's Grapes of Wrath comes this novel by one of my favorite writers. However, this is not a detective story. No Dave and Clete. no Billy Bob. It is a coming of age novel of a young man,Perry James, in a Kentucky mining town in the mid-twentieth century. To the Bright and Shining Sun (interesting title), in true Burke manner, vividly portrays the life of poverty and despair amid the fighting and violence between the coal industry owners and unions. The story is not black and white - the unions are as ineffectual as the owners are corrupt and amoral. It is about one young man's attempt to dig himself out of the cycle of deprivation and to revenge his father's death. One other point: although Will Patton is my favorite Burke narrator, Tom Stechschulte does an admirable job bringing this gritty story to life. great history lesson A great insight into the life and struggles of the coal mine workers in Appalachia. The punt A great listen, the performance sounded just like Henry Fonda. The story does Kentucky justice,as I was there 35 years ago training as a nurse midwife. It doesn't paint a pretty picture, but a true one I loved it. Deeply moving story of the coal miners shows the plight of the worker during the depression with vivid detail and a moving hero. Good listen The ending was a relief yet disappointing. This book needs a sequel. Hope Burke can deliver.

Title: Sniper's Honor Subtitle: Bob Lee Swagger, Book 9 Author: Stephen Hunter Narrator: Buck Schirner Format: Unabridged Length: 13 hrs and 42 mins Language: English Release date: 05-20-14 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 282 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: In this tour de force - part historical thriller, part modern adventure - from the New York Times best-selling author of I, Sniper, Bob Lee Swagger uncovers why WWIIs greatest sniper was erased from historyand why her disappearance still matters today. Ludmilla "Mili" Petrova was once the most hunted woman on Earth, having raised the fury of two of the most powerful leaders on either side of World War II: Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler. But Kathy Reilly of The Washington Post doesnt know any of that when she encounters a brief mention of Mili in an old Russian propaganda magazine, and becomes interested in the story of a legendary, beautiful female sniper who seems to have vanished from history. Reilly enlists former marine sniper Bob Lee Swagger to parse out the scarce details of Milis military service. The more Swagger learns about Milis last mission, the more hes convinced her disappearance was no accident - but why would the Russian government go to such lengths to erase the existence of one of their own decorated soldiers? And why, when Swagger joins Kathy Reilly on a research trip to the Carpathian Mountains, is someone trying to kill them before they can find out? As Bob Lee Swagger, "one of the finest series characters ever to grace the thriller genre, now and forever" (Providence Journal-Bulletin), races to put the pieces together, Sniper's Honor takes listeners across oceans and time in an action-packed, compulsive listen. Members Reviews: Not outstanding but well preformed Good narrator, somewhat improbable, but overall, very entertaining and I enjoyed the presentation. Will look for more Swagger tales Less action but a deep dive into the Easter Front. This felt like it took a while to get going and ultimately never did. I have never read a Bob Lee book that jumped back and forth so much between historical and present. Pros: I learned a lot about the Eastern Front. Bob Lee is still grumpy. Con: It wasn't my favorite iteration from Hunter. Swagger is the best!! I have always loved the Swagger stories, ever since I saw the Shooter movie. Of course, the books are sooooooo much better! And now, being able to listen to a great narrator makes it even better! Thank you to everyone involved! awesome Another great work by Mr. Hunter. I have come to expect no less. very well done. Don't expect your typical Bob Lee story Hunter was my favorite author for years in my teens, as I loved the Swagger books. After discovering Stephen King and as Bob Lee got old I stopped reading Hunter for years. I decided to give him another shot with Snipers Honor and was disappointed. I came very close to returning this book because it was SOOO boring for the first half. Instead, I ended up skipping more than a few chapters that were particularly boring, and was then able to finish because it did improve a little bit in the last half. This book was definitely more of a historical Detective story then action pack Bob Lee classic. Also, as many other reviews pointed out, the plot was a little thin and just somehow it all manage to work out in the end.

Sarah Cate, celebrating her 21st birthday, is pushed over the edge after car trouble strands her in the middle of nowhere with an angry, unstable boyfriend. Kevin Reed, a troubled adolescent abused by a loveless father, roams the night in his black Camaro, looking to pay forward one of the few acts of kindness he's ever received. Scotty Mason, plagued by profound guilt and completely detached from his world, is haunted by the unshakable fear that something inside him is dangerously broken and cannot be fixed. When their lives intersect in an unsavory hotel with a bloody history, all three will struggle to exorcise their personal demons, unaware that a bigger threat is looming... and waiting for the right moment to strike. Members Reviews: Suspenseful. Sarah is supposed to be having a brilliant birthday date, but her boyfriend isn't exactly doing his best. She finds herself stranded on the side of the road with her drunk boyfriend. She sees a side of him that frightens her and she decides to start walking down the road. Along the way a car pulls up and Kevin offers to help her. Sarah has about reached her limit with her life and goes off in search of her old Best Friend, Scot. Kevin decides to take her and what follows is something out of their worst fears! I didn't really connect with Sarah. I found her to be little too.... I don't know, maybe impulsive and impetuous!! She gets into a strangers car in the middle of the night, then gets him to drive her home, has a big fight with her mom and then travels with the stranger to find Scot. She didn't know him and I didn't understand why she would head off with him!! I wanted her to be a little more bad ass, though you can see why she is the way she is! I did love Kevin though. His life was extremely hard and it broke my heart, yet he was such a kind and compassionate person. I was so rooting for him throughout. Scotty scared me!!! His behaviour was self destructive. All the characters were well written and developed though and really made me feel. In all, this was a decent read. It had plenty of suspense to keep you reading and was relatively fast paced. I enjoyed it, but didn't love it. Joe Hempel was amazing. He really brought the characters emotions and quirks to life. He captured each of their personalities perfectly and read this well. He is one of the reasons why I kept listening!! I was voluntarily provided this audiobook for free from the author, narrator, or publisher. This in no way affected nor influenced my thoughts. Roam What made the experience of listening to Roam the most enjoyable? Joe Hempel's narration is perfect for this audiobook. What was one of the most memorable moments of Roam? I like mysteries/thrillers/suspense books that carry all the way through the book and Roam certainly does that. From the beginning, when we meet Sarah and Marc to the very last page where a surprise twist is revealed, Roam kept me on my toes, wondering what was going to happen next. Very suspenseful and entertaining book. A very well written story I received a copy of this book in audio format from the narrator in exchange for an honest review. Sarah's twenty-one birthday is not as special as she expected. With her car broke down in the middle of nowhere and her three month boyfriend drunk and showing signs of becoming violent at any moment, she decides to start walking alongside the road.

In Bad Games, the Lamberts weren't safe at the family cabin. Now they aren't safe anywhere. Playtime is not over. In Autumn 2008 the Lambert family headed to Western Pennsylvania for a weekend getaway to the family cabin. They visited hell instead. The Fannelli brothers. Two psychopaths who believed themselves exceptional, put on this Earth for the soul purpose of tormenting others for their own amusement. To make people play their twisted games. Except the Lamberts managed the impossible. They played the game and survived. Showed the Fannelli brothers that they'd messed with the wrong family. However, the game is far from over. There are some new players in town. Players who appear to have close ties to the Fannelli brothers. Players who are taking things very personally - and promising results that are very deadly. If you thought you'd glimpsed evil before, prepare to plummet headfirst into the abyss as author Jeff Menapace shows you a new level of fear and heart-stopping suspense. Let the vengeful games begin. Members Reviews: GREAT SEQUEL! This book picks up from the the last book, Bad Games. It keeps you intrigued and is totally intense all the way through. It was so good that it was one that I could not put down and just wanted to keep on listening to until the end. The Narrator is great and makes the book/story so much better to listen too. Must read if you read Bad Games by Jeff Menapace. Great set!!! I Kept Wanting to Know What Would Happen Next Where does Vengeful Games - A Dark Psychological Thriller rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? Top 15% What did you like best about this story? It was the perfect balance between inner thoughts, dialogue and description. What about Gary Tiedemanns performance did you like? Flawless. He's improved so much since the last book. Not sure how he could get better. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? Family Kills Perfect amount of plot twists Excellent sequel to "Bad Games" You must read "Bad Games" first to fully undwrstand what 'the game (s)' are/is. The action in this book takes place in several locations and involves many 'targets'. Warning : This book has descriptions of previous 'game' play that are much worse than Book 1 of this series, in my opinion. Awesome Narrator Couldn't stop listening. Great story and truly epic narration by Gary Tiedemann. Definitely recommend this series. Great Book Great book. Can't wait for the sequel. Dominick is the best!! Wonder if hex going to hook up with best friends wife???

Title: Avenged Author: Daniel Judson Narrator: Christina Traister Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 13 mins Language: English Release date: 04-01-14 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 149 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: Overmatched and far from home, torn between revenge and duty, Elena Aureli is running out of time. She has youth, beauty, and money, all of which she pours into her obsessive hunt for the man she believes murdered her father. Betrayed in an attempt to secure proof of the crime, she finds herself alone in an unfamiliar city - mysterious Old Montreal - her prey now the predator, and only five days left to finish the job for which she has sacrificed so much. Already pushed to the limits of her considerable resources, Elena must suddenly recalibrate her mission when her estranged half-brother, Miles, enters the picture, desperately in need of her protection. But keeping Miles alive may cost Elena her one shot at settling the score. Unless Elena is quick and Elena is clever, but to honor her father, as well as avenge him, shell have to do the impossible. Members Reviews: Avenged, waste of time What did you like best about Avenged? What did you like least? Good narration, but the story is flat and predictable. I kept waiting for something exciting to happen, or a turn of events. Unrealistic and a constant blame game. What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you? First, I think there are people that will like this book. When I say blame I mean they think it is one person and then another and on and on. Another farce that doesn't make sense, a father abandons a child, spends a fortune to watch over him but not help with money, school or care when the child's mother dies. Have another child soon after and give her the world. His stepsister tells him it was to protect him because he loved him. That doesn't make since. He could have taken him with him and his stepsister. This theme is essential to the story so it persists to be irritating. What do you think your next listen will be? I don't know. I haven't liked the last several books. I wish there were more historical fiction (paranormal, romance drama, murder) Not just romantic historical fiction, those are too predictable. Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Christina Traister? I have a few favorites that do male, female and accents exceptionally. Jennifer Ikeda, Tavia Gilbert and Kristin Potter.When she is the narrator she is good, her accents are okay, Elena okay, Miles okay but, one of the main characters Trask is terrible. I thought Trask was a girl until they stated Trask is a male. You didnt love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities? The premise was okay. It was a little beat into the ground that you can't trust anyone. Everyone is blaming everyone else for her father's murder. It goes on and on. Any additional comments? I believe there are people who will like this book. I couldn't finish it. I will try again another time. In the books defense, right now if a book doesn't capture my interest in the first three chapters I will hang in there a little and quit. Meh... Decent story, weak characters, predictable plot. Reader OK until she tried to do accents. Almost too much to bear. No more books by Judson for me.

Title: HMS Ulysses Author: Alistair MacLean Narrator: Jonathan Oliver Format: Unabridged Length: 13 hrs and 33 mins Language: English Release date: 04-06-17 Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers Limited Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 28 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: The novel that launched the astonishing career of one of the 20th century's greatest writers of action and suspense - an acclaimed classic of heroism and the sea in World War II. The story of men who rose to heroism, and then to something greater, HMS Ulysses takes its place alongside The Caine Mutiny and The Cruel Sea as one of the classic novels of the navy at war. It is the compelling story of Convoy FR77 to Murmansk - a voyage that pushes men to the limits of human endurance, crippled by enemy attack and the bitter cold of the Arctic. Critic Reviews: "A brilliant, overwhelming piece of descriptive writing." (Observer) "A story of exceptional courage which grips the imagination." (Daily Telegraph) "It deserves an honourable place among 20th-century war books." (Daily Mail) "HMS Ulysses is in the same class as The Cruel Sea." (Evening Standard) Members Reviews: Amazing but heartbreaking and sad. One of the most heartbreaking, saddest books I've ever read. The novel has stuck with me for over 50 years, reading it first at the age of 15 and now as an audiobook. I am fascinated by the nature of leadership, heroism, and our human response to extreme physical and psychological environments. Amundsen, Shackleton, and Bligh come to mind in listening to MacLean's imaginary Captain Vallery of the HMS Ulysses. Suspenseful but bleak and unrealistic I wanted to enjoy this book. I was looking forward to a thriller about the arctic convoys in WWII, which is a subject I'm somewhat knowledgeable about. Almost from the beginning though the story of HMS Ulysses felt not real. A mutiny on a Royal Navy cruiser during the war? Everyone involved would have been severely punished. I don't want to give any spoilers which makes describing the rest of the book difficult. However, readers will probably realize that HMS Ulysses falls into the "everybody dies" category. As soon as you develop an affinity with a character, the story line changes. Perhaps that is the reason that this book was never filmed. Even a plot like that might not be a big obstacle, but the events described during the escorting mission are far worse than anything experienced in reality by a convoy, even PQ-17 which was almost entirely destroyed. The characters are never more than caricatures. One doesn't get to know the eventual survivors in any detail. Misery personified. INCREDIBLE story. War was only half the battle. If you're looking for an engaging gem about WWII, this is it. Finally!!!! An unabridged version of this classic! What made the experience of listening to HMS Ulysses the most enjoyable? Although this is fiction the Arctic convoys to Murmansk really happened in WW2. I first read this book as a teenager and have always loved it. The book empersizes the harsh conditions and the extreme cold and whether conditions in the Arctic, and life on board HMS Ulysses, a cruiser and flagship of the escort force for Convoy FR77 to Murmansk North Russia. At times the story is very moving and you feel for the characters. Of all the books Alistair MacLean wrote this should have been a movie!!!!! Who was your favorite character and why? The ships Captain ' Captain Richard Vallery.

It's a pretty routine week for bounty hunter Stephanie Plum. Headless bodies have started appearing across town in Trenton, New Jersey. At first, it's just corpses from a funeral home and the morgue that have had the heads removed. Then a homeless man is murdered and dumped behind a church. Stephanie Plum knows that she's the only one with a prayer of catching this killer. If that's not enough, Diesel's back in town. The six-foot-tall, blond-haired hunk accepts no limits - that includes locked doors, closed windows and underwear. Trenton's hottest cop, Joe Morelli, isn't pleased at his arrival, nor is Ranger, the high-powered security consultant with his own plans for Stephanie. Jersey's favourite bounty hunter is stuck in the middle with more questions than answers. Who is behind the startling epidemic of mutilated corpses? And is the enigmatic Diesel's sudden appearance a coincidence or the cause of recent deadly events? Members Reviews: beyond disappointing total waste of credit folks......seems each successive book (last 3) in the series, is even more disappointing! Never disappoints Just as good as ever, beginning to end in a single day. The story line is comical and exciting. I could listen to the plum books every day felt this one wrapped up way to quick! Loreli was perfect as usual, my most favorite combination of author and narrator. storyline was a little out there but still a very enjoyable listen! Laugh out loud As always the characters are glorious, the story line crazy and all together a great read. Elayne62 just loved it, but that's nothing new. loved it, but I thought Ranger wasn' t as sexy as usual. Needs more RANGER IN THE NEXT ONE. DEEPLY DEPRESSED AS IT WILL BE A FULL YEAR BEFORE THE 25TH BOOK COMES OUT." STAYING ALIVE 25 " WOULD BE A GOOD TITLE OR " LET'S STAY ALIVE 25". Many thanks JANET for the book and thanks to LORELEI for her EXCELLANT narration. LOVE LOVE LOVE ALL YOUR BOOKS. I HAVE LISTENED TO ALL OF THEM.

The profession he had always yearned for did not actually exist...he imagined a cross between a doctor and a priest - a man capable of understanding another's destiny at first glance. The very first investigation by eager young police secretary Jules Maigret leads him to a wealthy Paris family's dark secrets. Critic Reviews: "His artistry is supreme." (John Banville) "One of the greatest writers of the 20th century.... Simenon was unequalled at making us look inside, though the ability was masked by his brilliance at absorbing us obsessively in his stories." (Guardian) Members Reviews: Interesting An enjoyable listen. Not the best Maigret, and still good. The atmosphere and humour is very much there and kind of fun to learn how it all starts. I suspect it will add to my enjoyment when I go back and listen to the other stories in the series.

When authorities in Alaska receive a disturbing call from a teenage girl, their investigation leads them to discover an entire family of researchers dead. Joe Rush is called to help examine the bodies. On the surface it looks like a brutal murder/suicide. But the situation is nowhere near that simple - nor is it over. Upon closer investigation, Rush discovers the terrifying truth. The research team has fallen victim to something that seems impossible at first, yet the evidence looks undeniable in the lab. Now the danger may threaten thousands more. Unfortunately he's not the only one with knowledge of the looming disaster. The army has cordoned off part of Alaska, and Rush soon finds himself the target of trained killers. Someone suspects Rush of betraying his country. To save countless lives - starting with his own - Rush must uncover the answers hidden in the Arctic. The question is, will he find them in time? Members Reviews: Rush/Abel/Porter a kick butt combination! What made the experience of listening to Protocol Zero the most enjoyable? Ray Porter! What more can I say but that RP's laconic delivery, amazing dialects and pacing are a true delight and make the listening experience something to look forward to daily. That said, the character, and the creativity of Abel are equally refreshing and worth while. What was one of the most memorable moments of Protocol Zero? The epilogue is both justified and juicy! Have you listened to any of Ray Porters other performances before? How does this one compare? Yes, as many as I can, and it is stunning EVERYTIME. He owns Joe Rush, and is a remarkable narrator. This offering qualifies as one of his very best. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? Laugh yes, as Rush's attitude is frequently worth a LOL or 3. Any additional comments? This is not a book for the squeamish or someone who prefers non-violence in their books. It does require some leaps of faith as it regards to US government conspiracies and coverups as well. On balance, it is very very listenable and definitely worth the credit. Great Read! I quickly became a Joe Rush fan with "White Plague".. This one, however, was twice as well written and read and I am now officially obsessed.. The mix of drama, intrigue, emotion all brought to life by the absolute GREATEST narrator in the world, Ray Porter... In my honest opinion, there wasn't anything about this book that I would change... Well, there is ONE thing but I'll read further reviews after mine to see if anyone else agrees... I can only hope and pray that James Abel continues to write this series! Either way it has been an awesome journey! Another winner What did you love best about Protocol Zero? I loved the entire plot. Who EVER would have thunk? Which scene was your favorite? Unfortunately, the scene in the hospital at the end. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? Don't make this book into a movie. Movies are never as good. Any additional comments? I'm going to have to actively go out and see when Book 3 will be released.

Title: Final Catcall Subtitle: A Magical Cats, Book 5 Author: Sofie Kelly Narrator: Cassandra Campbell Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 47 mins Language: English Release date: 10-07-14 Publisher: Random House Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 211 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: Small-town librarian Kathleen Paulson gets plenty of entertainment from her extraordinary cats, Owen and Hercules. But when a theater troupe stumbles into more tragedy than it bargained for, its up to Kathleen to play detective.... With her sort-of boyfriend Marcus calling it quits and her ex-boyfriend Andrew showing up out of the blue, Kathleen has more than enough drama to deal with - and thats before a local theater festival relocates to Mayville Heights. Now the town is buzzing with theatre folk, and many of them have their own private dramas with the director, Hugh Davis. When Davis is found shot to death by the marina, he leaves behind evidence of blackmail and fraud, as well as an ensemble of suspects. Now Kathleen, with a little help from her feline friends Owen and Hercules, will have to catch the real killer before another victim takes a final curtain call. Members Reviews: Very good love story. And surprise ending The problem is: I've been looking at the previous books in the series as mysteries. Upon further review, they are more love stories. And they worked somewhat as love stories. As a love story, this is the best of the series thus far. Kathleen has to choose between two men, Andrew, her former fiancé who traveled to Mayville Heights, MN to try to woo her back. And Marcus, the police detective who wasn't sure she trusted him. Of course, Kathleen loves Marcus. But it took a surprise visit from her mother to convince both Kathleen and Marcus. Oh, and who did it? Caught me off guard. I was sure it was someone else. Five Stars This is a very enjoyable series. The characters are well developed and enjoyable. The storylines are entertaining and intriguing. I look forward to the next book. Wonderfully relaxing fun I truly love these magical cats mysteries. I behind so really enjoy multi book catch up another great one As someone who likes cats and loves a good mystery, I love this series of books. Another cute story I love cozy mystery books and anything with cats!!! :) can't decide whether Owen or Herc would be my favorite ;)

For all those who enjoy Peter James, Mark Billingham, and Peter Robinson. Three women have been found brutally murdered in south London, the victims only feet away from help during each sadistic attack. And the killer is getting braver.... Sarah Grainger is rapidly becoming too afraid to leave her house. Once an outgoing photographer, she knows that someone is watching her. A cryptic note brings everything into terrifying focus, but its the chilling phone calls that take the case to another level. DI Mike Lockyer heads up the regional murder squad. With three bodies on his watch, and a killer growing in confidence, he frantically tries to find the link between these seemingly isolated incidents. What he discovers will not only test him professionally but will throw his personal life into turmoil, too. After 10 years in London, working for a City law firm, Clare Donoghue moved back to her home town in Somerset to undertake an MA in creative writing at Bath Spa University. Never Look Back is her first novel and in 2011, whilst still an unpublished manuscript, was long-listed for the CWA Debut Dagger. Members Reviews: narrators Superb narration. It was great to have too many readers for the story because they eat represented unique characters in the book Great story, unexpected twists Would you listen to Never Look Back again? Why? Yes I would listen to this again just in case I missed anything the first time and I was very impressed that I wasn't saying 'ya right' as the story continued through each chapter. What do you think the narrator could have done better? I liked the narrators Thriller? Whodunit? Neither This book wasnt for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more? It might be OK for someone really interested in the inner life of police officers and victims dealing with violence on a daily basis. What do you think your next listen will be? Probably a historical novel How could the performance have been better? The male narrator does a good job but I fear the female narrator is a bit whiny. You didnt love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities? The plot doesn't hold together but the chief inspector's character is well portrayed. Any additional comments? Please note that my critical comments are born of misplaced expectations: I expected a police thriller but got a psychological novel. Never Buy This Book I had such high hopes because I LOVE IMOGEN CHURCH! I thought I could handle it even if it was only "OKAY" because she would bring it up a notch, boy was I wrong. It's also narrated by a man (cant remember his name) and he does 75% of the narrating so that was severely disappointing but not nearly as disappointing as the storyline. The storyline (this is one of 3 books) is all over the place. The author doesn't seem to care to get you attached to any of the characters but to jumping around from here to there to nowhere. At one point I thought to myself did I skip a chapter, but no the author just put big holes and gaps in the story. Don't bother, unless you have read every other book on Audible....seriously! Excellent, well read and written Any additional comments? This was a well researched and very well written story with good readers.

With a nosy reporter on the brink of exposing them, the clock is ticking as the Sisterhood tries to create a little magic - and save the day... Members Reviews: another good listen Loved it. A good continuation of the ongoing story. Anxious to continue with next instalment. Enjoying the series enormously The element of "revenge" is starting to get lost.. The element of revenge so present and important in the beginning of the Sisterhood series is getting lost,and has been ever since all the Sisters "missions" were ascribed and they are now doing the "gun for hire" stories.

The story moves from Greece to other exotic locales as Sheldon evokes a compelling portrayal of Catherine Douglas and her fight against a terrifying destiny. Members Reviews: Great Story with Great narrator What did you love best about Memories of Midnight? I read this book several times, but tried this with listening for the first time. It was so exciting and I really enjoyed and reconfirmed it was one of the masterpieces. Great book! I read this book many years ago but having it read TO YOU while sitting in traffic is simply spellbinding! It will keep you turning pages. Sidney is the master of the writing game. The way that he tell his stories will keep you reading Better than the first! ("The Other Side of Midnight ") In my experience, the first in almost any series is the best. "The Other Side of Midnight" was definitely good but this second in the series "Memories of Midnight" was even better. The storyline's are interwoven together better and the drama keeps building until the very last words in the book. Terrific!

Magpie Murders Audiobook by Anthony Horowitz

Title: Magpie Murders Author: Anthony Horowitz Narrator: Allan Corduner, Samantha Bond Format: Unabridged Length: 15 hrs and 47 mins Language: English Release date: 10-06-16 Publisher: Orion Publishing Group Limited Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 27 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: When editor Susan Ryeland is given the tattered manuscript of Alan Conway's latest novel, she has little idea it will change her life. She's worked with the revered crime writer for years, and his detective, Atticus Pund, is renowned for solving crimes in the sleepy English villages of the 1950s. As Susan knows only too well, vintage crime sells handsomely. It's just a shame that it means dealing with an author like Alan Conway.... But Conway's latest tale of murder at Pye Hall is not quite what it seems. Yes, there are dead bodies and a host of intriguing suspects, but hidden in the pages of the manuscript there lies another story: a tale written between the very words on the page, telling of real-life jealousy, greed, ruthless ambition and murder. From Sunday Times best seller Anthony Horowitz comes Magpie Murders, his deliciously dark take on the vintage crime novel, brought bang up to date with a fiendish modern twist. Read by Samantha Bond and Allan Corduner. Members Reviews: Anthony Horowitz Does it Again!!! This book was amazing!!! A classic whodunnit and i didn't realize the ending till it slapped me in the face . At first, i was a bit unsure about the book. The characters seemed to be increasing and i was scared i wouldn't have been able to keep up. But knowing Horowitz, i knew he wouldn't disappoint. I was a big fan of his Alex Rider series and am glad he his taking his prowess and writing new books. The narrators were also highly entertaining...especially Samantha. This was truly an enjoyable listen and would recommend it to anyone. Am now going to buy the paperback . Who? How? Where & Why? Now listen to A LOT of audio books, but I rarely write a review. I know Anthony Horowitz from all his teen books and was not sure what to expect from this. The story was excellent and I kept up with the twists and turns but a no point did I guess...... The double story line is very good and I could easily be converted to this type of story if there are more like this. Allan and Samantha as narrators were excellent! 5 stars all round. Wonderful for any murder mystery fans Excellent murder mystery. Plenty of twists to keep you hooked right to the end! Starts out very 'Agatha Christie-ish' but then deviates in a very unexpected way. Lovely narration too. Clever tale The story is told in two parts and I found the split narrative really interesting. The author parodies much of his previous work so the contrast is amusing. The characters are lively and the pace is quick to keep you guessing what twist will come next, two stories for the price of one, bargain! Faultless execution of a good tale. Deliciously entertaining hokey whodunnit If you like whodunnits you'll love this slice of richly subversive genre bending. I loved Magpie Murders' book within a book. The problem is I think I loved the 'fictional' book more than the one wrapped around it in 'real life'. In Atticus Punt, Horowitz has a created a genuinely wonderful 50s detective. The crime Atticus solves is way more interesting and the characters surrounding him are infinitely more complex than the ones found in the modern day story. But perhaps that's the irony here - readers like myself gobble up these quaint murder mysteries by the bucketload simply to get away from the ugly mundanity of modern life.

Day after day, he sits by her bedside, holding her hand, sharing the stories of their life together. Then he discovers the evidence of his wife's secret past - a long hidden first marriage to international movie star Julian True. When he sees photos of her glowing happiness with Julian, he knows the actor was more than simply Michaela's first husband. He was the love of her life. Liam senses that Julian is the one person who can bring her back to life, but at what cost? Can Liam love his wife enough to risk losing her to a man no woman could resist? Members Reviews: Disappointing I am a HUGE Kristin Hannah fan, but this one fell short. I just could not connect with the characters. Pick another-Once in Every Lifetime is an excellent choice. Angel Falls A beautiful story, with all emotions coming out, love reading Kristan Hannah books and this lived up to her standards. Excellent narration., bring out the characters, so you felt you knew them. Meh. This is was no Nightengale Would you try another book from Kristin Hannah and/or Bruce Reizen? Absolutely. Would you be willing to try another book from Kristin Hannah? Why or why not? Absolutely. I have. I really enjoy Kristin Hannah. This wasn't her best. Probably not her worst though. Fluffy. Would you listen to another book narrated by Bruce Reizen? He was fine. His imitation of a little boy was a tad much. But... I understood what he was going for. Did Angel Falls inspire you to do anything? Not ride horses? Not get involved with egomaniac Hollywood stars? Not really. Not a great book This book wasnt for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more? I can't imagine anyone who would find this book enjoyable What do you think your next listen will be? A different Kristin Hannah book How could the performance have been better? I usually enjoy this narrator but not for this book. I could not stand the tone used for Brett's voice. It grated on my nerves so bad I almost quit listening several times. I just thought it might turn the corner and get better. What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment? Disappointment. Kristen Hannah books are not usually so blah. Any additional comments? I would not recommend this book. Not my favorite Kristin Hahhah Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not? The story was slow and nothing special. Felt like a old Danielle Steele. Other books I have read from Kristin have been superior so maybe reason I was a little disappointed. What three words best describe Bruce Reizens performance? Good, liked him fine Did Angel Falls inspire you to do anything? No Any additional comments? Her other books were just superior

Title: Altar of Eden Subtitle: A Novel Author: James Rollins Narrator: Paula Christensen Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 36 mins Language: English Release date: 12-29-09 Publisher: HarperAudio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 501 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: A master at combining heart-stopping suspense and scientific intrigue, New York Times best-selling author James Rollins returns with a thrilling adventure like no other--a shocking story of cruel genetic experiments done in the name of national security and, most disturbing of all, tied to a secret history of the Book of Genesis. Following the fall of Baghdad, two Iraqi boys stumble upon armed men looting the city zoo, opening the floodgates for the smuggling of hundreds of exotic birds, mammals, and reptiles to Western nations. But this crime hides a deeper secret. Amid a hail of bullets, an underground secret weapons lab is ransacked--and something even more horrific is set free. Seven years later, Louisiana state veterinarian Lorna Polk stumbles upon a fishing trawler shipwrecked on a barrier island. The crew is missing or dead, but the boat holds a frightening cargo: a caged group of exotic animals, clearly part of a black market smuggling ring. Yet, something is wrong with these beasts, disturbing deformities that make no sense: a parrot with no feathers, a pair of Capuchin monkeys conjoined at the hip, a jaguar cub with the dentition of a saber-tooth tiger. They also all share one uncanny trait--a disturbingly heightened intelligence. To uncover the truth about the origin of this strange cargo and the terrorist threat it poses, Lorna must team up with a man who shares a dark and bloody past with her, now an agent of the U.S. Border Patrol, Jack Menard. Together, the two must hunt for a beast that escaped the shipwreck while uncovering a mystery tied to fractal science and genetic engineering, all to expose a horrifying secret that traces back to mankind's earliest roots. But can Lorna stop what is about to be born upon the altar of Eden before it threatens not only the world, but also the very foundation of what it means to be human? Members Reviews: Very Enjoyable This was the first audiobook I listened to after the dissapointing "The Lost Symbol" and my second ever female narrated book. I will give Paula Christensen a 3.5 star for her crisp voice, engaging narration and not so bad attempt at the Cajun accent. Despite there being more male characters than female, I was able to follow all characters with little to no confusion. This books seems to have a two part story, which I would classify as "The Hunt" and "The survival". Its adventurous, action packed, and scientific. This book is more like a 3.5 than a 3. I also recommed the "Enhanced" audio version!!!!! Poor Reader The story was typical Rollins and enjoyable. However, the reader has an odd cadence and I found myself re-reading lines in my head because the inflection sounded off. Was I the only one who noticed the lisp? As others have said, be prepared to be occasionally distracted by the reader, but otherwise it's good. Another Solid job from Rollins I've read most of the James Rollins books and was thinking this was another Sigma Force book. The female narrator threw me at first, but one I got into it I realized that Christensen was a good choice, since the book is told mainly through the eyes of the primary female chacter, Lorna Polk. While the characters were all new to me, the story had alot of that feel you come to expect from Rollins, action, mystery, unusual situations.

But when he accidentally reveals the secret outcome of an upcoming decision, a blackmailer makes millions and Ben starts to sweat. Big time. He turns to his co-clerk, Lisa, and his housemates, Nathan, Eric, and Ober, for help. Washington's best and brightest, they offer coveted insider access to the State Department, a major Washington newspaper, and the Senate. But before they know it, their careers - and their lives - are on the line. Where does loyalty end? Where does greed begin? And how much can you really trust your friends? Members Reviews: Better than anticipated This book is a good read. I didn't expect as much depth as there is. The characters are developed, the plot is interesting, and the reader is outstanding. What could have been a bland story about four friends (plus one) is thoughtful and engaging. Recommended! The 10th Justice I read everything by this author. The books are easy good reads and I highly reccomend them. Good for a one time listen I ended up liking this book, even though a I found a couple of the characters frustrating at times it's a good read. It does start off a little slow but it picks up speed towards the end. And it keeps you throwing theories around in your head the whole time. It kept me interested and waiting to know what happened almost the whole time. Frat Boys at the Supreme Court Good start, but a little slow and repetitive toward the end. Highly imaginative story that could benefit from a consultant who actually held a government job in a secure position. Four young men revel in acting like twelve year olds holding very responsible jobs. Scott Brick delivers pee pee jokes as brilliantly as he does everything else. Fabulous Where does The Tenth Justice rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? One of the best I have listened to, just outstanding from start to finish. Could not put it down or rather turn it off

Mystery Series, Book 1 Author: D. D. VanDyke Narrator: Francesca Townes Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 20 mins Language: English Release date: 12-15-14 Publisher: David VanDyke Author Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 137 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: When a young girl is kidnapped, street-smart but damaged ex-cop California "Cal" Corwin is engaged to find and rescue her before murder raises the stakes. As a straightforward case takes unexpected twists, Cal must quell a growing fear that an anguished mother may never see her child again. With a shadowy crime lord lurking behind every unexpected clue, Cal struggles to tie up loose ends before evil claims its next victim. Loose Ends is the first book in the new P. I. mystery series from D. D. VanDyke, a pen name of veteran bestselling technothriller author David VanDyke. Set against the rich backdrop of the San Francisco Bay Area, the Cal Corwin novels brim with intrigue and fully fleshed characters from cops and criminals to hit men, family and unexpected allies. Members Reviews: great audiobook, pretty good story Story isn't what makes this a great audiobook, it's the characters and San Francisco's seedier nightlife setting. A savvy, sexy first-person female PI who gambles, loves cars , has daddy issues and keeps a shotgun in the trunk of her car? I want to meet this babe! Terrific, throaty narration, very well recorded, lots of fun characters from seedy to lowlife to a self-styled prince charming Aryan Brotherhood drug lord creep. Needs to be longer, which might also fix the unfinished feel of the story complained about in some reviews. Overall, a solid B/B+ effort. I'd probably spend a credit on another if there were more in the series, just to hear Cal pillow talk about her car some more, LOL. Not Bad Though this book was egregiously slow in spots I really liked it. As for the the characters, they are really great; particularly the protagonist. Cali Corwin is tough, smart, ballsy and has more testosterone that most men. I also liked her mom, Sergei and the tech geek Mickey. I plan the next book in the series really soon. love tough woman? Good fast paced detecting. Great reader, I found a fun new voice, reading an enjoyable listen, with a strong woman Detective. Yes. New Favorite P.I. Series What a fun character! I like serious mysteries, and the best ones always have a terrific and unusual main character. Somebody we haven't seen before. Enter Cal Corwin. Ex San Francisco cop, smart, tough, even a little gritty, ethnical but not goody-two-shoes, a quarter Japanese, a quarter Mexican, and female. A true California character! I read some reviews on Amazon that said they didn't like that some things in the story were unresolved. Duh, it's called Loose Ends, so I think we can expect that. All the "loose ends" felt like things that were going to carryover and maybe grow in the next book or the book after that. You really get the feeling that this is the start of a series, a whole world, and I had a great time with it. Also, I've enjoyed this narrator on some other books and I think this might be my favorite. It felt like she IS Cal Corwin, with some other fun characters for good measure. (Micky her sidekick tech genius, Jay her ex-partner, Haight-Ashbury hippy mom and others, without giving away any spoilers). I hope the series grows quickly and that future books are maybe a little longer. I want more! Loose Ends I love women in hot cars. This was fun. I enjoyed the story from beginning to end.

Hart Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 67 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: A new lease on life.... After a brush with death, Jackie Parker has big plans to lie low for a while. The best-laid plans didn't check in with her stressful job as part of Damaged Goods property management - or her drama queen mother. When one of their clients is found brutally murdered and a recently evicted tenant is a suspect, Jackie vows to Luke and Logan that this time she'll stay out of the fray. After all, she's not a detective, and they have more than enough on their plate. A rogue RV, drug dealers, furies, snakes, and monkeys, oh my! Plus there's a rival property-management company determined to ruin Damaged Goods, a kidnapping, and a sexy animal lover looking to cause trouble in Jackie's already rocky marriage. The Magic City's sassiest process server is sitting on a powder keg of crazy, and the two men in her life are playing with matches. One thing's for sure: As far as Jackie's concerned, this isn't a day at the beach. Members Reviews: i loved this book i loved this book a f the whole series!! i wish there were more.ive unfortunately read them all . the person reading the book is great too ice been searching for books shes read as well. Still a fun enjoyable story. A funny cozy mystery with lots of laugh and a surprise ending. Jackie and Luke are still getting into their rhythm. It is hard when they are constantly having house guest. Luke seems to have developed some weird form of psychological trauma and his insecurity issues are affecting his marriage. This causes Logan to become an intermediary in their marriage. This just increased the chemistry between Logan and Jackie is still causing fireworks and tense moments. It is never good for a marriage when a partner turns to someone else for understanding. Jackie still cannot keep her nose out of pursuing leads that do not relate to their business. This is especially troubling because she keeps discovering dead bodies. There are enough twists and turns of murders and kidnapping that you need to pay close attention. There is a man wearing a full dog costume, who barks at people. There is a Meth Lab and Jackie acquires a monkey. To find out how all this fits together, read story. gotta pay attention to this one... Weird one this was. Lots of once seen characters that played a important roll at the end so keep a journal of who is who! Book was OK... however I'm not sure I'm racing to pick up the next in series. A solid follow-up to the series 4-1/2 stars: Excellent narration. This book was more emotionally intense than the last one and the mystery more convoluted. There were still plenty of laugh out loud moments, though. I would recommend starting with the first book in the series rather than jumping in with this one. Looking forward to future books in this series, especially if Suzanne Cerreta narrates them. another great story Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? love this series of the damaged goods property mgmt team. the big question Luke or Logan?? what will happen

I was looking for something light and entertaining in the British mystery genre and since I had enjoyed other books by this author I took a plunge on his new release that didnt have any reviews yet. Big mistake! The description sounded fine but once I started listening I had a hard time getting into it. This only got worse as I found the main character both not very likable and not very believable. Her actions didnt seem plausible- and after I kept listening I realized I didnt care about what happened next. Blah. The narrator was also wrong for the book and added to my lack of interest. The 1st person main character was supposed to be an American- but whatever accent the narrator used it didnt ring true to the character. Lifes too short for bad books so I stopped listening after a couple of hours and returned it. Save your credit! I do like the other books by this author in his Max Tudor series but if I had read this book first (not Max Tudor) I think I would have avoided the author in the future! Terrible I really have like GM Malliets other books but this was really bad. All the characters are completely unlikable. The editing on the audio has several errors. The US accent and pronunciation off in several placestough when the narrator is supposed to be from the USA. I cant believe I even made it through to the end just to be rewarded with a completely predictable roll-your-eye ending.

Title: Unbecoming Subtitle: A Novel Author: Rebecca Scherm Narrator: Catherine Taber Format: Unabridged Length: 13 hrs and 30 mins Language: English Release date: 01-22-15 Publisher: Penguin Audio Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 243 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: A major new debut thriller about a small-town girl who charms her way into the world of international art fraud. On the grubby outskirts of Paris, Grace restores bric-a-brac, mends teapots, re-sets gems. She calls herself Julie, says she's from California, and slips back to a rented room at night. Regularly, furtively, she checks the hometown paper on the Internet. Home is Garland, Tennessee, and there, two young men have just been paroled. One, she married; the other, she's in love with. Both were jailed for a crime that Grace herself planned in exacting detail. The heist went bad - but not before she was on a plane to Prague with a stolen canvas rolled in her bag. And so, in Paris, begins a cat-and-mouse waiting game as Grace's web of deception and lies unravels - and she becomes another young woman entirely. Unbecoming is an intricately plotted and psychologically nuanced heist novel that turns on suspense and slippery identity. With echoes of Alfred Hitchcock and Patricia Highsmith, Rebecca Scherm's mesmerizing debut is sure to entrance fans of Gillian Flynn, Marisha Pessl, and Donna Tartt. Members Reviews: Ridiculous and boring The most interesting thing about this book is the publisher's summary. The book itself is incredibly tedious. At the start of the novel, the totally unlikeable heroine is indeed panicked (as the publisher has told you) when she realizes that her boyfriend and friends are about to be released from prison. You realize that she did something bad and left them behind to pay the consequences. OK, so far the story shows promise. Except then...it doesn't go anywhere. You see endless flashbacks to the girl's childhood which are kind of predictable. She has it tough (although not that tough, really--there's a five minute bit where the author tells you how the girls parents were not married when she was born so she drifted from this home to that home to that home until her parents got back together again and moved to the town where the story takes place...that feels like it was added after the fact because the author realized that the girl's current home life was not bad enough to account for the girl's feeling of self pity!). She meets the town's loved child. She meets his friends. They drift aimlessly (the kids' stupid behavior is hard to believe....well, it is actually IMPOSSIBLE to believe, as is the entire novel). Then bad thing happens and guys go to prison while girl goes to Europe and ends up repairing antiques (the descriptions of some of these antiques are annoyingly long...and lack any kind of beauty; sounding almost like excerpts from wikipedia). Then the kids get out of prison...and more preposterous plot 'meanderings' ensue(not surprising enough to be called 'twists'), some are actually groan-worthy...Anyway, read at your own peril. Or if you need something to help you fall asleep. Horrible This book could have been half as long and it still would have been too long. The story dragged on and on. And on. The characters were boring and the ending was boring. There were too many plot lines, any one of which could have been developed into a decent story, but the author couldn't stick to one. Really wish I hadn't wasted my time. Narrator with a lisp The female narrator for this story did voices and accents quite well, but the sound of her lisp detracts from the experience.

So when a stranger delivers an old violin to her Berlin antiques shop and tells Lilly it belongs to her, she's completely bewildered. Why should she be the one to inherit such an exquisite instrument? Together with her best friend, Ellen, and handsome musicologist Gabriel Thornton, Lilly sets out to explore the violin's legacy. From England to Italy to Indonesia, she follows its winding trail. Along the way, she learns of Rose Gallway, a beautiful woman of English and Sumatran descent who lived among Sumatra's lush gardens more than a hundred years earlier. A celebrated and sought-after musician, Rose once owned Lilly's violin and regularly played concerts for Sumatra's colonial elite - until, one day, she simply disappeared. As Lilly unravels the mystery behind Rose's story - and uncovers other unexpected secrets - she'll come to see her own life in an entirely new light. And as each shared discovery brings her closer to Gabriel, her heart might finally break its long-held silence. Members Reviews: Moonlit but not a listening pleasure.:/ I liked the story but t narrative was so affected and annoying that I could only listen for short periods of time. Her gravelly tone and snooty accent spoiled the book for me. I will not read anything she narrates. flat Is there anything you would change about this book? Much was lost in the German to English translation. The author also kept introducing side stories that you thought might play into the larger picture, but ultimately were just useless excursions that went nowhere and added nothing to the plot. Has Moonlit Garden, The turned you off from other books in this genre? no, but I will not read this author again Did Justine Eyre do a good job differentiating all the characters? How? I thought so Do you think Moonlit Garden, The needs a follow-up book? Why or why not? God NO! The narrator ruined the book. I started off reading this book on my kindle while on vacation. I didn't finish it on vacation, but really wanted to know what happened next. I then started listening to it on audible while driving to work. Huge mistake. Worst narration I've ever heard. The narration is all up talking/valley girl. So horrible. I'm going to take a long break and hopefully forget her voice so I can finish the book. Horrible. Horrible. Horrible choice of narrator. It actually ruined the whole novel for me. Narration ruined this for me, The storyline was good, but the narration sounded very snobbish. It ruined the book for me, I will never buy a book narrated by this person again. It was very annoying, . .If it had been narrated by someone else I would have given it 4 stars, Terrible narration The story was pretty good, but the narration ... awful. The narrator, although skilled at employing different voices for each character, has a nasal intonation that ends most sentences. If the plot sounds promising, i would suggest reading it the old fashioned way, not as an audible pick.

Caravan Audiobook by Dorothy Gilman

Title: Caravan Author: Dorothy Gilman Narrator: Roslyn Alexander Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 8 mins Language: English Release date: 09-12-12 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 88 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: Caressa Horvath, raised in the corrupting atmosphere of a traveling carnival, marries an anthropologist named Jacob Bowman, who takes her on a journey to North Africa. Jacob gets himself killed by a band of Bedouin who spare Caressas life. The only one of her party left alive, Caressa is forced to join the caravan on a harrowing journey across the African desert. Members Reviews: GREAT WRITER - FANTASTIC VOYAGES!!! After listening to ALL of this author's "Mrs. Polifax" series - back to back - I hungered for more stories of ordinary women doing extraordinary things in places far from home. I first tried "Uncertain Voyage" but it was nothing but "chick-lit", not worthy of Dorothy Gilman. Just a neurotic woman with loose morals who barely completed her "unexpected mission" because she was always moaning and whining over some man who wasn't worth a dime. But in this book and the Mrs. Polifax books, the reader gets to experience dangerous situations in foreign locales. Gilman is either well-traveled or an outstanding researcher who speaks all manner of languages. When you listen to one of her books, you feel that you are going places, dodging bullets, escaping from inescapable spots, meeting new and interesting people, and beating the odds. Well worth the price of a ticket to ride!!!! Suspend Disbelief And Enjoy. A great plot, if one can suspend disbelief, and a fine adventure story. The end was rather disappointing and one felt that the publishers said: "Re-write, our readers want a happy ending no matter how unbelievable. But, for a light story, it wasn't bad. Do not trust, not safe Loved the mystery, strong determination and beauty in this book! The reader was marvelous and her tones fit exquisitely. I will certainly look for other books written, and read by both! An oldie but a goody! I have listened to this book several times and enjoy it every single time! The story is so detailed and fascinating , the characters so rich and lively. I only wish Dorothy Gilman would have written more stories like this. I have enjoyed her Mrs Pollifax series also but Caravan stands by itself. Disappointed and dissatisfied I must say I rather hated this book. I was so looking forward to it, after reading and adoring 'The Tightrope Walker'. Even though the love story in this book does ring true - the ending does not appeal, and the beginning of the love story is very distasteful indeed. Not at all what I was expecting. This book left a bad taste in my mouth. I would skip it if you are Mrs Please fan, as I am, and read The Tightrope Walker instead.

Once a Crooked Man Audiobook by David McCallum

Title: Once a Crooked Man Author: David McCallum Narrator: David McCallum Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 56 mins Language: English Release date: 01-12-16 Publisher: Macmillan Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 333 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: A deliciously quirky crime novel from David McCallum, the beloved actor known for his portrayal of Illya Kuryakin on The Man From U.N.C.L.E. and Dr. Donald "Ducky" Mallard on NCIS. Crime pays. And pays well. Sal, Max, and Enzo Bruschetti have proven this over a lifetime of nefarious activity that they have kept hidden from law enforcement. Nowhere in any file on any computer is there a record of anything illegal from which they have profited. But Max has a problem. His body is getting old, and his doctor has told him to take it easy. Max has decided that the time has come for the family to retire. But when young actor Harry Murphy overhears the Bruschetti brothers planning changes to their organization, including the murder of a man in London who knows too much, the Bruschettis' plans begin to unravel. After Harry makes the well-intentioned if egregious mistake of trying to warn the Bruchettis' intended victim, he finds himself alone in a foreign country, on the wrong side of the law, with a suitcase full of cash and a dangerous man on his trail. And while his good looks, charm, and cheerful persistence may prove assets in the turbulent events that follow, none of Harry's past roles has prepared him for what happens next. By turns tense and funny, Once a Crooked Man is infused with the infectious charm that has made David McCallum one of television's longest-running, most-beloved stars. Critic Reviews: "To hear a terrific book brilliantly performed by the author is one of life's huge pleasures. Is McCallum up to it? He's only been working on stage and screen for what--six decades? Oh, surprise, he's fabulous.... Only an actor could have written this deliciously entertaining story, and no one could have performed it better. Standing O." ( AudioFile) Members Reviews: Mostly a good romp This is mostly a good romp with a Everyman hero hopelessly out of his element when his path crosses that of a family of criminals. There is (spoiler alert) a rather distasteful scene when a forcible rape becomes a seduction but otherwise I enjoyed it. The author is also the narrator. Generally, this doesn't work for me but here it was very well done. Great Fun Read! Great Fun. Loved every character and was hoping no one would win or lose! Narration was perfect as well. A book that was easy to press play on. Crooked The story lived up to its name, keep me wanting to hear what would happen next FABULOUS! If you could sum up Once a Crooked Man in three words, what would they be? Imaginative, suspenseful, exciting. Who was your favorite character and why? Harry Murphy What does David McCallum bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Have you ever heard his voice?! OMG! The tone and cadence make anything he reads worth hearing. His is also a voice that inspires a feeling of "safety." Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? The point at which Harry overheard the conversation of criminals while taking a leak in an alley on the side of a Chinese restaurant. Any additional comments? The only downside to being an avid reader is eventually gaining an ability to identify a plot line too quickly, and that definitely takes some of the pleasure out of the reading. I was delighted to find that that was NOT the case with "Once A Crooked Man" by David McCallum.

Harry Hole soll die thailändische Polizei bei der Mordermittlung unterstützen und taucht tief in die Unterwelt einer Stadt ab, in der Moral und Gesetz keine Rolle spielen. Dabei findet er über den Ermordeten, der ein enger Weggefährte des norwegischen Ministerpräsidenten war, mehr heraus, als seinen Vorgesetzten lieb ist... Jo Nesbs Krimiserie um Kommissar Harry Hole ist weltweit erfolgreich und der eigenwillige Ermittler genießt Kultstatus. Harry Hole, eigentlich ein Anti-Held, ist genial in dem, was er tut, aber als Mensch versagt er regelmäßig. Seinem engsten Freund und Chef der Dienststelle Bjarne Mller hat er es zu verdanken, dass er nicht längst den Dienst quittieren musste. Jo Nesbs Krimis um den Osloer Kommissar sind komplex konstruiert, die Personen fein gezeichnet und mit jedem Plot reflektiert der Bestsellerautor die Herausforderungen einer globalen Welt. ©2007 Ullstein Buchverlage GmbH, Berlin. Übersetzung von Günther Frauenlob (P)2017 Hörbuch Hamburg HHV GmbH, Hamburg Mitglieder Bewertungen: Kakerlaken This book will keep you on the edge of your seat with great difficulty putting it down. Well written-Good choice! I think I would have loved this BUT it turns out to be not in English! I look forward to reading this when I can find an English version of this novel. I will buy it then. Wrong Language I am sure I would like this book as Nesbo is my favorite mystery writer. However, since I don't read or write Norwegian I was unable to judge the book. I sent it back and hopefully they will send me one in English. I'm not bilingual I didn't realize it was in Norwegian when I ordered it. Obviously, I can't read it!! I'm the dummy. I love his books otherwise. German, not Norwegian This book is in German, not Norwegian... Like the first reviewer said, this story is again capturing to the very end. I can't wait till they make Harry Hole Movies!!!

Sylvia has major cleanup to do, not to mention figuring out who and why - and could the vandalism to her shop have something to do with Quinns disappearance? Ethan and Nicole wont sit around idly waiting for Cooper Elliott to do all the work. Cooper has an investigation on his hands like never before in Hidden Falls, but he sure doesnt mind that it involves frequent communication with Lauren Nock. Liam is hitting wall after wall in finding a solution to his own personal crisis. Does he dare ask Dani for help (if shed ever answer her phone)? Or even Jack Parker? Jack hears opportunity knocking. Surely all these crises require his legal expertise. But he feels a stronger tug toward his family - those four people who have almost given up on him. When his younger daughter needs him, will he choose advancing his career or being her hero? While most of the town is falling apart in Quinns unexplained absence, some things might come together quite nicely... Members Reviews: The whole book I've just recently started reading books online. And even though, I love the smell of a library, this is really nice. But when I read a book, I want to read til I'm ready to stop. I do not care for these episodes. As someone who reads, 62 pages is nothing. And at the price, by the time I'm done, the book will cost over $25. I'm pretty sure this will be my last purchase. It's a good story, but I do not like the "episode" concept. Good Mystery I'm reading all the episodes. Although the author could have used a bit more editing, it's keeping my attention. I like the story and once I had all the characters encoded (there are a lot of them) thanks to each issue having a list of characters, I found them likeable and well-developed. this series is great I am not one to really review a book with any expertise as I just enjoy reading and enjoy meeting new characters. As the series goes on I find more intrigue and then want to keep reading. Newport is once again sharing her stories with a flare to keep us reading and reading. Five Stars Loved this whole series! Very entertaining. Easy Quick Reads. Easy Quick Reads.

Title: The Girl in the Plain Brown Wrapper Subtitle: A Travis McGee Novel, Book 10 Author: John D. MacDonald Narrator: Robert Petkoff Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 9 mins Language: English Release date: 04-10-12 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 227 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: Helena Pearson. Undeniably beautiful... indisputably rich... incredibly wanton... the perfect client for Travis McGee. He did a big favor for her husband and then for the lady herself. Now Helena is dead, and McGee finds out that she had one last request to make of him: find out why her beautiful daughter, Maurie, keeps trying to kill herself. So, half-convinced that Maurie needs a good doctor and not a devil-may-care beach bum, McGee makes his way to the prosperous town of Fort Courtney, Florida, a respectable, booming, deadly little place. Members Reviews: Love me my Travis McGee I read this last in print back when I was in college and it had just come out. Trav receives a letter from a woman he'd known years earlier asking him to find a way to save her older daughter from an apparent self-destructive bent. But little is as it appears once he arrives and meets again the woman he last saw as a bereaved adolescent. Well written and paced, and the appreciation for what was being done to the woman was way ahead of its time. Definitely recommended. And Petkoff has definitely made the McGee series his own! Aha, There Were Black People in Florida Travis is given the assignment of saving a dying lover's child. I swear being a lover of McGee's has a higher fatality rate than smoking three packs a day in an Asbestos factory full of hazardous waste. Perhaps I'll do a study of the percentage of his paramour's that died early; it must be about the same level as that of a wartime infantry platoon. When McGee gets to the daughter's home in Fort Courtney Florida he finds a beautiful married woman with a childlike demeanor and a history of suicide. He checks into a motel; is picked up by a woman trying to set him up with a barbiturate loaded bottle of gin; he has a fight with her married boyfriend and then spends the night with the woman after the two of them argue; hey what a day. McGee gets involved with a couple of the motel's black maids when one grabs a few drinks out of the bottle of doctored gin and passes out in his room. Another of the maids at the motel agrees to help McGee find information; for a price. An assignment that she fulfills by presenting him with information that helps him greatly in solving the case. It was a long time coming for a man living in south Florida but in the tenth book in the series McGee interacts with a person of African descent. As always all the women in the book are eager to share McGee's bed but he only racks up two notches on the bedpost in the present. His attitudes gradually became more enlightened as the series continued and this time there are no misogynistic comments on the sexuality of any of the women in the book. Though when it came to the mother, Helena some of his opinions smack of turn of the century Freudianism. As always the writing is top notch and if you can ride with the implausibility's of the plot and the outdated attitudes this is a great listening experience. That's because we always want to know why One of the better MacDonald novels I've read this year.

Edge of Evil Audiobook by J. A. Jance

Jance Narrator: Kristen Kairos Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 14 mins Language: English Release date: 07-22-08 Publisher: HarperAudio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 151 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: Cut loose from her moorings, Ali is summoned back home to Sedona, Arizona, by the death of a childhood friend. Once there, she seeks solace in the comforting rhythms of her parents' diner, the Sugarloaf Café, and launches an online blog as therapy for others who have been similarly cut loose. But when threatening posts begin appearing, Ali finds out that running a blog is far more up-close and personal than sitting behind a news desk. And far more dangerous. Suddenly something dark and deadly is swirling around her life...and a killer may be hunting her next. Members Reviews: Edge of Evil Ok book, definatly not a page turner. The weird music that cuts into the story at times is because this book was first made as a book on tape. The music lets you know its the end of the tape and not the end of the story. When it was transferred to digital file the music was not edited out. Hope this helps. The series gets better. Much better. Let me say first, I'm a HUGE fan of J. A. Jance. I've read most of the print copies of her gazillion books, and have purchased eight of her audiobooks, mostly the Johanna Brady series. This was my second Ali Reynolds -- which is a good thing: if I had listened to this one first, I never would have bought another. First of all, this has to be one of the worst-produced audio books I've ever listened to. At random moments, some peppy, jazzy, supposedly uplifting elevator music interrupts the reading, sometimes drowning out the narrator's voice. It's so inappropriate - what on earth was someone thinking?? It's not chapter divisions, one such interruption was mid-sentence. Totally weird -- and completely destroys whatever mood the book was building toward. Then too, much of this book is told in the form of blogs, which might work well on paper, but in an audiobook, not so much. Listening to the narrator's letter-reading voice has a limited appeal - nothing happens, no action or interaction with someone else, just pretty darn dry statements of opinion and articulation of thoughts. Finally, a word for authors out there, even really really good ones, like Jance: Perfect people get pretty boring after awhile. It's all well and good to create a laudable character -- not ALL protagonists have to be "flawed". But there has to be a limit. If I wanted to engross myself in completely selfless behavior, I guess I'd opt for Butler's "Lives of the Saints" instead. At least those were real people. Just how perfect is our multi-fired, multi-sued, widowed, about to be divorced nee widowed girl, who always-and-forever puts everyone else on the planet's wishes ahead of her own? One example: a consummately evil man has broken into her home and is beating her to death. In the last possible second, she breaks away, gets her gun, and shoots him to death. Then we have to put up with an agony of soul searching, as Ali beats her breast over what she did to the man's MOTHER -- not anyone she knew, of course, just the woman who had given birth to this monster. "What must she be feeling? I killed her son!" Ali ponders.... well, I don't know what the mother was feeling, assuming she felt anything at all. But I guess if it were me, having marginally survived such a brutal attack, I really don't think fretting about his mother would be at the top of my list of worries -- but then, I'm not a saint.

Desperate to clear her name with the police, she must first untangle a chilling web of lies. But someone is watching her every move - and it isn't just Jen who is in danger. They're watching her child as well. Members Reviews: Weak leading !lady. Lead female character was annoying and too much of a perfectionist. She seemed to whine her way through the story. The only interesting character was the villain. Author repeatedly took cheap shots against President Trump and conservatives in general. Petty political jabs took the place of meaningful text. Really enjoyed this. Great plot, believable characters. There are obvious parts of the story that are rather exaggerated but that's what makes a good story. Easy listening Brilliant book to listen to this is my first audio book and I am looking forward to listening to many more Weak I feel this story lacked suspense; started off well but become rather far fetched by mid way .... ending was disappointing

And in his new novel, a devil is indeed waiting... The President is coming to London, but not to an entirely warm welcome. A fanatical mullah is offering a blessing to anyone who will assassinate the President, and though most London Muslims think the mullah has crossed the line, a few think otherwise. Urgently, Sean Dillon, General Charles Ferguson, and the rest of the small band known as the Prime Ministers private army are called in, augmented by an extra-ordinary new recruit, an intelligence captain and Afghan war hero named Sara Gideon. She has her own contacts and ways of working, but the more she explores the threat, the more she discovers herself in a very dark place indeed. Members Reviews: The Usual "Higgins Like" Story What did you like best about A Devil is Waiting? What did you like least? I liked the character Sara - (my grandmother's first name) - because she was tough, and went after what she wanted and got it. What could Jack Higgins have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you? This story had too much "he said" "she said", and to much conversation about people. It was hard to follow; I was half way through the story before I was able to distinguish between the good guys and the bad guys. Sometimes that is okay, but it seemed to me that Higgins intended for the reader to know this before half way into the story. Also, there was very little suspense to the story. Not until the end was there really any "thrill factor". and even then, well it was "thin". Seems to me that Higgins jumped on the al Qaeda "bandwagon", used that topic to tell a story, but the story was not very engaging. Which character as performed by Michael Page was your favorite? Sara Did A Devil is Waiting inspire you to do anything? No A familar Higgins story What did you like best about A Devil is Waiting? What did you like least? The fast pace is always present in Higgins books. Too predictable and not too believable. How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable? try to make it a little believable. It is too much like most of the other books by Higgins. If this book were a movie would you go see it? no. Any additional comments? Good in a Higgins sort of way, but I am tiring of the same themes, not much changes book to book. Too much killing. Time for a new plot, new characters This story line and the characters are so stale. Doesn't come close to the earlier novels. A Modern Twist with Familiar Characters Where does A Devil is Waiting rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? I've read almost all of Jack Higgin's books and have never been disappointed. I'm just starting to listen to audiobooks, and this has inspired me to listen to many more. It's amazing how this performer could do so many voices so well and one right after the other. Who was your favorite character and why? The new female protagonist was a nice addition to the usual cast.

Title: Thief Subtitle: A Robin Monarch Novel, Book 3 Author: Mark Sullivan Narrator: Jeff Gurner Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 29 mins Language: English Release date: 12-16-14 Publisher: Macmillan Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 378 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: Robin Monarch is a man with a complicated past and dangerous present. He's been a soldier, a CIA agent, and freelance operative, but first and foremost, Robin Monarch is a thief of the highest order. Orphaned at 12, Monarch originally stole for survival, then he stole for his friends and cohorts, now he steals to order and to give back to the to the woman who saved his life many years ago. With the help of his team, Monarch breaks into the legendary Christmas party of Beau Arsenault, a shady investor and behind the scenes player at the very highest levels of power politics. Arsenault is not above bending or breaking the rules if there's illicit profit to be made. Monarch has decided that those illicit profits will be better used to take care of orphans and street kids. Using the party as cover to break into Arsenault's secret vaults, Monarch comes away with two unexpected things. One is a bullet - he gets shot when he's caught trying to escape with tens of millions of negotiable instruments. The second is a lead on what might be his most audacious exploit ever. A previously undiscovered tribe in South America may well have the secret to the most sought after knowledge in history - that of eternal life. And Robin Monarch must use all his skills - as an operative, as a thief - to keep this secret from falling into the worst possible hands. Members Reviews: Great book Robin Monarch rules Another layer of Robin Monarch unveiled. Don't piss off a thief. A great trip through the Amazon rainforest. I will surely download his next book. Hard start, drags in the middle, strong end This is the third of the Robin Monarch books and it's pretty decent. It's a slow start as part of the setup, and it drags in the middle, but really picks up steam and momentum to end. While the books are not a trilogy, this book ties up some loose ends and I look forward to the next book featuring our unstoppable thief. I do keep thinking that Monarch is a dual skill character being often more of a fighter than a thief, and I hope that the next books shows a Monarch of more guile and surreptitious ability than a hard charger. More Silk, less Stallone, if you follow me. Heroes we can love and a Villain we can hate The Robin Monarch series balances time spent developing the characters, learning about their internal conflicts, and plenty of action. He is a hero we can love and root for. I have listened to all 3 novels and the short stories and enjoyed all of them, including this one. The Thief, through flashbacks, provides a great deal of Monarch & Sister Rachaels history. This was a good book but I dont think it was the best of the 3 and I cant put my finger on why. While I wanted to keep listening and not turn it off, once off I wasn't going nuts trying to get back to the book, at least not in the beginning. I should mention that Sullivan clearly has a 'playful' side deliberately using irony and humor which enhances the books and makes them different than some in this genre. If you have enjoyed the other Monarch stories you will like this one, just maybe not as much as some of the others. Best of an outstanding series! Read the publisher's summary; I do not wish to give away more info on this outstanding novel. I listened to this novel 18 months ago and it is definitely worth listening to again.

Highland Laddie Gone Audiobook by Sharyn McCrumb

But the innocent ethnic fair is cursed when the loathed Colin Campbell is found murdered. When a second reveler is found dead, Elizabeth lays to hunt and untangles all.... Members Reviews: Before the Ballad Novels there was Elizabeth Mc. I am writing this because I do not want listeners to think that these early Sharyn McCrumbs will be like her more mature works such as She Walks These Hills. They are just as insightful, the characters are just as well drawn; but the humor is touched with a bit of sharpness and a dry wit. The main character is a young woman whose college major changes with the seasons. We can sympathize, shake our heads, be delighted, and at times be actually irritated as Elizabeth learns more from the people at this festival than she will ever learn in her classrooms. There are no car chases, explosions, or even street fights. But most of us can recognize the challenges Elizabeth faces. There are no mean streets in the lovely North Carolina mountains, but there are some mean people. In Highland Laddie gone Elizabeth is asked to be Maid of the Cat at the Highland Games her family attended faithfully when she was growing up. She is a bit startled to meet a young scientist from Scotland who studies north sea marine mammals not whose tartans go with whose last names. Elizabeth and Cameron do manage to overcome speaking a "different language", and I do not mean scientific terms and ancient history. I am thrilled that these books are on audible.

The Case Is Closed Audiobook by Patricia Wentworth

The culprit has been charged with the murder of his uncle and has served a year of his sentence already. Or has he? The evidence against Geoffrey Grey is convincing but his wife believes in his innocence. And so does her young cousin, Hilary, who decides to solve the mystery herself. But when Hilary herself is nearly murdered she turns in desperation to her ex-fiancé for help. He calls upon the services of Miss Silver to help solve another mystery, which she does in her own original style. Members Reviews: An early Miss Silver mystery This is only the second book in the Miss Maud Silver mystery series, and I didn't care for it quite as much as her later ones, though it is still good. As often happens in this series, Miss Silver doesn't even become a part of the story till way into the book. Hilary Carew runs into Mrs. Mercer, a stranger on a train, and becomes intrigued at hints the timid woman is offering about a recent courtroom trial in which Hilary's cousin's husband was convicted of murdering his uncle. Her cousin Marion is convinced of her husband's innocence, and so at first Hilary tries to find the actual killer alone, but danger leads her fiancé to seek the help of Miss Silver, the ex-nanny, spinster sleuth who loves to knit. This series naturally brings comparisons to Agatha Christie's Miss Marple (for whom I must admit to having a bit more fondness), but the writing is different enough that they are clearly separate women and separate stories. I liked this one well enough, but I don't think Patricia Wentworth has yet hit her stride here. It's a good read (listen) if you enjoy the mysteries from the Pre WWII time period, which I personally do. Worth the credit. English cozy This is an old-fashioned English cozy with a good mystery. Surprising strong female characters for the time period. Always a Pleasure Beautifully narrated, beautifully written, I listen to these over and over and continue to enjoy Patricia Wentworth's observations on humankind. Thoroughly Enjoyed This One! I have read several Patricia Wentworth Mysteries and have loved all of them. Great Narrator and unusual plots make for a wonderful Winter time experience. It does not matter which book you choose as your first read. It is not necessary to read them in order. I hope Audible can get All of her books. The Case is Closed This is a promising new (old) series for me. I've read British mysteries for years, but only recently discovered Patricia Wentworth. Good plots, enjoyable characters & Miss Silver = a great read.

In the haunted, war-torn highlands of Afghanistan, amid the ruins of Shahr-e-Gholghol, an archaeology team is massacred in the night. Sergeant Jordan Stone and his crack forensic team are called in to examine the site, to hunt for the perpetrators of this horrific act. But the discovery of a survivor - a child of 10 - will shatter all the team knows about life and death. Among the crumbling bones of dead kings, something hoary and murderous stirs out of the ancient past, lurching forward to claim vengeance on those still living. Included with this thrilling story is a sneak peek at The Blood Gospel, where the further exploits of Sergeant Stone and his team will be revealed. Members Reviews: Disappointing The short stop was only an hour long so very misleading. The preview for the next book was good. I'm looking forward to reading/slash listening to that one. I'm disappointed! I wasted a credit for a poor book and to hear only a portion of a book that sounds promising. Love the series These are awesome- get them all so you follow the story. They are a good read. Write more!! waste of money don't waste your money on this. it doesn't expand the story or develop character for the series. it isn't even that good of a standalone short story. dissappointing as I listened to The Blood Gospel first.

The Devil's Work Audiobook by Mark Edwards

It was the job she had dreamed of since childhood. But on her very first day, when an unnerving encounter drags up memories Sophie Greenwood would rather forget, she wonders if she has made a mistake. A fatal mistake. What is her ambitious young assistant really up to? And what exactly happened to Sophie's predecessor? When her husband and daughter are pulled into the nightmare, Sophie is forced to confront the darkest secrets she has carried for years. As her life begins to fall apart at work and at home, Sophie must race to uncover the truth about her new job...before it kills her. Members Reviews: Not very exciting I thought this book would be a page turner. I found the characters so hard to get into. They where literally quite boring. No suspense or excitement. Very dull ending. I actually fell asleep several times while listening to this. Grand story Did not expect to enjoy this book as much as I did. At one point I almost retuned this book because I hate people who make stupid choices. But as the story went on Sophie's character developed more and I found I did not want to put the book down. The end is a bit predictable with a twist. Worth reading I liked it but... I'll preface this by saying that I really enjoy thriller/ghost/paranormal anything and am rather easily entertained so the story was actually quite good, however the part I can't get over is the author's incredibly annoying female characters. This is particularly disappointing as the main character is a female. They (referring to this and the other book I've read from him- Follow You Home) make unrealistic decisions and come off as paranoid shrews/crazy ladies. I get some women are like that, but the women in these books just aren't believable and make me really dislike the main characters. I let it go with Follow You Home because the main female character in that book is actually not a good person at all, but in this case it just ruined the whole story for me. Some of the plot twists I definitely didn't see coming, but I probably won't read or listen to anymore of Mr. Edwards works based off of his poorly written characters. I'm pretty bummed about it because the plots in both of these books are very well done- I just can't abide the narrative. Narrator is really good for this. Wasn't too bad of a story. wasn't great. Narrator and the accent kept my attention Slow beginning but.. picked up in the middle and then became a 5 star. I would recommend this book.

And the Goodnight Lady had her own secret place that was always shadowed by loss. Members Reviews: brilliant Couldn't put it down. kept me gripped to the end. The narrator is brilliant too. First Class Audio Book This audiobook went beyond my expectations. The excellent narration coupled with a wonderful story makes this is a must listen! Exceptional Perfect. Strong women, heartfelt and gripping. Narrative good as usual. I would recommend - currently making my way through the series on Audible. Hooked from the very beginning I wasn't sure what to expect, so I was pleasantly surprised, I was hooked from the very beginning. Martina Cole's description of The interracial relationship was gripping and emotional. I would say this is one of her best, including the exceptional narrating, you won't be able to stop listening. X Really enjoyed book, sorry it's finished. Love the span of years, the changes in the way of life. Great narrator.

Sidetracked Audiobook by Brandilyn Collins

Thirty-four-year-old Delanie Miller has fled her dark past and is now settled into a quiet life in small-town Redbud, Kentucky. She has friends, a faux "family" who lives in her house, and a loving boyfriend who may soon ask her to marry him. Her aching dream of a husband and future children are about to come true. But protecting this life of promise means keeping a low profile and guarding the truth of her past - from everyone. The town's peace is shattered when Delanie's friend Clara is murdered, and Delanie finds her body. The police chief quickly zeroes in on Billy King, a simpleminded young man whom Delanie knows would never hurt Clara. She can hunt down evidence and speak out publicly against the chief - only at great risk of her own exposure. But how can Delanie, who suffered such injustice in her past, keep silent now? She must find a way to uncover the real murderer yet save the life she's created - the deceit-ridden life that will forever distance her true self from others and God. With pause-resisting intensity, Sidetracked hurtles between Delanie's trauma in Redbud and the chaos of her past. Those experiences forced Delanie to reinvent her present - but at what cost to her future? Members Reviews: VERY enjoyable! This was my first experience with this author, and I will definitely be purchasing more of her books! I had heard that she is a Christian (she is), and I was confident that I would not be assaulted by vulgar language or descriptions of sexual situations. This book is not preachy. She mentions a few times that Laura "prayed" or "asked God for help". If that type of thing bothers you, then you might consider avoiding this author. I agree wholeheartedly with the other positive reviews, stating that the story is "gripping" and "outstanding". Things go from bad to worse for this gal, and your heart goes out to her. I thought I had figured out who the murderer was, but I was dead wrong. (Excuse the pun!) I highly recommend this book. Well-worth listening to If you could sum up Sidetracked in three words, what would they be? gripping, realistic, well-done What was one of the most memorable moments of Sidetracked? The most memorable moment for me was when Delany finally decided to do the right thing, and confessed to her fiancee. Which scene was your favorite? The last, when she has what she wants and the "bad guy" doesn't get away with murder. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes, but not doable because it was 7+ hours long. Any additional comments? SIDETRACKED audible book is a gripping tale of a woman's search for happiness and a new life after she escapes the terror and injustices of her past. Delany knows what it's like to be betrayed by friends. She has experienced the excruciating pain of having everything taken from her, including loved ones, and she is well-acquainted with the anger and hopelessness of knowing she has been framed for a crime she didn't commit. Others don't believe her. Though innocent, she is condemned and rejected. Delany hides in the shadows trying to escape her past, even though it follows her. She dreams of an untainted future with a husband and children.

Title: The Accident Author: Chris Pavone Narrator: Mozhan Marno Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 39 mins Language: English Release date: 03-11-14 Publisher: Random House Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 286 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: From the author of the New York Times best-selling and Edgar Award-winning The Expats As dawn approaches in New York, literary agent Isabel Reed is turning the final pages of a mysterious, anonymous manuscript, racing through the explosive revelations about powerful people, as well as long-hidden secrets about her own past. In Copenhagen, veteran CIA operative Hayden Gray, determined that this sweeping story be buried, is suddenly staring down the barrel of an unexpected gun. And in Zurich, the author himself is hiding in a shadowy expat life, trying to atone for a lifetimes worth of lies and betrayals with publication of The Accident, while always looking over his shoulder. Over the course of one long, desperate, increasingly perilous day, these lives collide as the book begins its dangerous march toward publication, toward saving or ruining careers and companies, placing everything at risk - and everyone in mortal peril. The rich cast of characters - in publishing and film, politics and espionage - are all forced to confront the consequences of their ambitions, the schisms between their ideal selves and the people they actually became. The action rockets around Europe and across America, with an intricate web of duplicities stretching back a quarter-century to a dark winding road in upstate New York, where the shocking truth about the accident itself is buried. Gripping, sophisticated, layered, and impossible to put down, The Accident proves once again that Chris Pavone is a true master of suspense. Critic Reviews: "[A] high-wire thriller.... The suspense is palpable." (Publishers Weekly) "Pavones plot twists tirelessly, shifting focus among a large cast of well-drawn characters.... Many readers will read this one through the night." (Booklist) "The world of book publishing has never been more perilous or mesmerizing than in Chris Pavones dizzyingly good follow-up to The Expats. The dark eruption of long-buried secrets, complex betrayals further snagged by sex and greed, and 11th-hour desperate gambits for reinvention all propel a whirlwind story that will keep you up way past your bedtime. Crafty, stylish, satisfying." (Paula McLain, New York Times best-selling author of The Paris Wife) Members Reviews: A Little Bit Like Cotton Candy Any additional comments? I would like to begin by saying, I finished listening. This book is fine enough entertainment. However, there was something slightly annoying about the book and I have been thinking about it in order to write this review, trying to distill what irritated me about "The Accident" and this is what I have landed upon: The author's writing style has what I would liken to a verbal tick or twitch - he has a tendency to write in laundry lists. I don't have a specific quote but he tends to go off on list like tangents (this is my own example) "she drove down the street, by the lawns where the kids played, with the lemonade stands and the the sprinklers and the yard men raking grass clippings and the .. " these lists go on and on. And it happens over and over throughout the book. I think this is lazy writing. Also, these lists all seem have a judgmental tone to them, in fact the whole book seems to be judgmental of having an affluent life style in general.

Shortly after she returned to England, she was strangled to death in a hospital. Inspector Monk is instantly convinced that her death was not a random act of violence, but a deliberately-plotted murder. Who would murder the courageous young nurse? And why? With the help of Prudence's friend, Nurse Hester Latterly, Inspector Monk works feverishly to find the answers. In an explosive courtroom confrontation, he will expose a cunning murderer, and a horrifying evil that threatens every woman in England. For all Inspector Monk fans, and for all listeners encountering this extraordinary mystery series for the first time, A Sudden, Fearful Death is an unforgettable listening experience. Critic Reviews: "Anne Perry's mysteries, set in Victorian England and featuring William Monk and Hester Latterly, are engrossing....Anne Perry and Davina Porter seem made for each other. Porter reads in a manner that enhances the story and completely immerses the listener in the various characters, no matter what their sex or station in life. She captures the essence of each person's voice as the novel moves from an arrest to a trial and a surprising conclusion" (AudioFile) Members Reviews: Oh, yummy, yummy -- another great Anne Perry I'm not normallly a fan of Victorian anything, including mysteries. But Anne Perrry is such an incredible writer that I always jump on her latest and can listen to them several times. She is among the best at character development, and her juxtaposition of England's upper and lowest classes, along with those inbetween, is stunning, and usually a strong component of the mystery -- indeed, often of the crimes themselves. Couple Perry's writing with excellent narration and it's no wonder she's much-loved at Audible. Enjoying This Series I discovered the William Monk series while searching for books narrated by Davina Porter. This is the first of the Anne Perry series I have read - I don't usually read novels set in this time period - but am enjoying the characters and stories. (Unfortunately, it appears that several in the series are not available on Audible and that later books have a different narrator. As a Davina Porter fan, it remains to be seen if I will like them as well with another narrator.) Time for a Break? My feelings for the William Monk mysteries have always been lukewarm at best, but this book made me seriously reconsider continuing with the series despite my interest in Monk's history. The mystery was convoluted, and Monk seemed as inept as usual. There were questions unanswered such as how Callandra recognized Marian, and inconsistencies such as Monk being jubilant about the content of the letters he had received and acting all smug in front of Runcorn but telling Rathbone that he didn't believe the perpetrator was the person on trial. I got so tired of being told that Monk was brilliant instead of being shown it. There was a character whose name was rather similar to another (Robert Oliver and Oliver Rathbone) which I thought was poorly chosen. Since Book 1, it was clear that the author had an agenda. While I managed to somewhat brush it aside in the previous books, in this one, it felt too intrusive for me to ignore. The narration was not that great either. The echoes were back again and present for most of the audiobook.

But Kyle finds himself irresistibly drawn to the exotic beauty and captivated by her fierce claim of innocence. Soon they are in dangerous pursuit of the real thief, drawn deeper into the perils of spiraling power plays, and linked by a passion as powerful as the lore of the ancient culture and as enduring as the splendor of the treasured jade. Editorial Reviews: What happens when Kyle Donavan begins to be attracted to the very woman he is sent to catchfor a crime she may not have committed? In Jade Island, Book Two in the Donavan series by Elizabeth Lowell, listeners won't wait to find out. Robin Rowan's sultry performance places listeners immediately in China, searching for the true thief of one of China's legendary cultural treasures. Suspenseful and romantic, lavish and ornate, this story of gems, big business, crime, false allegiances, and steamy romance will have listeners anxious for the next installment. Members Reviews: Love this series I read this series long ago, and decided to reacquaint myself with the stories when I saw them on audio. I was not disappointed. I believe this is the first Elizabeth Lowell series I was introduced to. And, I really enjoy the mystery, suspense, and characters. She has penned a few of my favorite who-done-its. And, I like Robin Rowan in this series. I don't think I've ever heard her before, but I really enjoyed listening to this. It's got just enough to keep you totally locked in. The pacing is good. Enjoyed it just as much as when I read it years ago. entertaining Interesting premise in this one, my second Lowell book. Two families involved in precious gems task a family member to get to know the other to get an inside track to the other family. The two not only get to know each other but sparks fly immediately. I don't know that Elizabeth Lowell is known as a romance writer but this one had plenty of romance in it. It was an entertaining listen, though, as the author wove the story line of the mystery, the gem in this story being jade. You learn a lot about jade in this book. I enjoyed the characters, the setting in Seattle and the San Juan Islands, and the plot was OK. Sometimes it seemed the book didn't flow as well as it should but it didn't detract from the book too much. I will listen to book 3 in this 4 book series. An Older Series that stands the test of time Would you listen to Jade Island again? Why? I found the characters to be compelling and well rounded. What was one of the most memorable moments of Jade Island? The discussions of the intricacies of Jade and the role it played in culture is an interesting interchange but nothing beats the scene wheere the hero and heroine first meet at a gem exhibition. What does Robin Rowan bring to the story that you wouldn???t experience if you just read the book? Enjoyed how the reader brings the characters to life helping me to see them and their interactions in my minds eye. Any additional comments? This is book two of the Donovan series. You'll want to listen to them all. Terrible editing The Audible version of this is messed up so much that the plot is impossible to follow.

It is clear there are no limits to this killer's thirst for revenge or how far he will go to get it. After a nasty divorce, Anne Mason does not want to get romantically involved, especially with ex-husband's attorney, Michael Brandt. The ruggedly handsome new county prosecutor is the last person Anne can trust, but may offer her only chance at survival from a psychopathic killer. But will she survive the passion that rages between them? Members Reviews: TBR Any additional comments? This was on my to be read/listened to shelf for years, what was I thinking leaving it there so long, I really enjoyed this book/listen the pace was great the story kept me interested and Lorelei Avalon's performance was great, the Heroine got on my nerves but that's just the signed of a great book if a character in a book ticks you off then you know its good and you are invested. horrible narrative I really enjoyed the book so I got the audible. mistake! it was as if she was sitting in the back row during church talking to her neighbor. monotone. no inflection. low, husky 'just woke up' voice. awful. it's unfortunate because another narrator would have really brought this book to life. Lots of Twists and Turns Pretty good book. There were many intriguing situations and the characters interacted well. I enjoyed reading it and look forward to the next book in the series. Horrible narration The narration ruined the book. It was hard to concentrate on the plot because the reading was distracting. Bored This book is extremely shallow and read somewhat monotone. The main character isn't very likeable, she is mean to the love interest, and the love interest keeps coming back for more. I just found this book unbelievable and not very suspenseful.

Title: Vertigo 42 Subtitle: A Richard Jury Mystery, Book 23 Author: Martha Grimes Narrator: Steve West Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 49 mins Language: English Release date: 06-03-14 Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 295 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: The inimitable Scotland Yard Superintendent Richard Jury returns in another "literate, lyrical, funny, funky, discursive, bizarre" (The Washington Post) mystery, now with a tip of the derby to Alfred Hitchcocks famous movie Vertigo. Richard Jury is meeting Tom Williamson at Vertigo 42, a bar on the 42nd floor of an office building in Londons financial district. Despite inconclusive evidence, Tom is convinced his wife, Tess, was murdered 17 years ago. The inspector in charge of the case was sure Tess death was accidental - a direct result of vertigo - but the official police inquiry is still an open verdict and Jury agrees to re-examine the case. Jury learns that a nine-year-old girl fell to her death five years before Tess at the same country house in Devon where Tess died. The girl had been a guest at a party Tess was giving for six children. Jury seeks out the five surviving party guests, who are now adults, hoping they can shed light on this bizarre coincidence. Meanwhile, an elegantly dressed woman falls to her death from the tower of a cottage near the pub where Jury and his cronies are dining one night. Then the dead womans estranged husband is killed as well. Four deaths - two in the past, two that occur on the pages of this intricate, compelling novel - keep Richard Jury and his sidekick Sergeant Wiggins running from their homes in Islington to the countryside in Devon and to London as they try to figure out if the deaths were accidental or not. And, if they are connected. Witty, well-written, with literary references from Thomas Hardy to Yeats, Vertigo 42 is a pitch perfect, "pause-resisting" novel from a mystery writer at the top of her game. Members Reviews: A new Martha Grimes-Richard Jury fan A huge fan of the "armchair mystery" genre of Agatha Christie (intelligent plots and puzzles requiring thought sans gratuitous violence), I thoroughly enjoyed Jury's crime solving methodology. While not as much of a fan of the narrator's scope of characterization (why did the sergeant's voice have to be created with the narrator seemingly holding his nose closed?), the clues were all there (fair play a la Christie), and it was just a race to see whether the reader could put the puzzle together before Jury. Jury was a little biased in favor of his personal emotional instincts (Poirot would never do that), but nonetheless, it was a good puzzle and very satisfying mystery. I look forward to reading more of Grimes, and hope there are just as many interwoven literary references, as it makes it all the more enjoyable! As always, Martha Grimes comes through Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Absolutely. The author always weaves an interesting story, and this time it has a great twist, in an extended reference to a classic movie. Have you listened to any of Steve Wests other performances before? How does this one compare? I have not listened to others, but I certainly will. His presentation enhanced the story. I kept forgetting that the same person was reading all the different characters' lines! Vintage Jury! Any additional comments? I was pleased to find this to be vintage - perhaps even better than - some of the early Jury books. Great story keeps you on your toes until the end. Enjoyed the book very much But I always do. Have followed Martha Grimes her entire career. Wish Jury could find peace.

But when 18-year-old Emily disappears on the way to drug treatment and her interventionist is found dead at the airport where she was last seen, Barbara enters her darkest nightmare of all. ©2009 Terri Blackstock (P)2009 Zondervan Members Reviews: Great read This is the best Blackstock book yet. Very suspenseful. Anyone with a child with a drug problem should listen to this book. Anointed Hi Terry, what an awesome book! And what an awesome God we serve!!! God set me free from my addiction, though nothing as serious as hard drugs or alcohol, and I'm definitely going to have to buy the physical book of this for my sister, whose son is nearly finish d his two years of the only drug rehabilitation centre that worked for him - it is run by Christians and on Christian principles - only Jesus truly sets you free! Awesome book and good narrator-ship, thank you, am looking forward to starting on Vicious Circle, God bless you Couldn't stop listening! Good suspense. Thoughtful, moving & inspirational. Didn't feel "preachy".to me. It was clean though, no bad language. Just bought the rest of the series. Good Listen if you do/don't have Faith/Religion This was my first Terri Blackstock listen (or read) and it was a pleasant surprise. I'm used to listening to books that have more details than I would like and usually think the point can be made without quite so much detail. I appreciated the faith the mother had throughout her situation, and that the book had a realistic part at the end where the children understand mom has a lot of faith but they don't suddenly fall at the alter in repentance. This is a good listen for someone who likes suspense or drama but doesn't want the gory scenes or details. The religion factor is not overplayed like they're trying to hit you over the head with it. I'm planning on listening to the other two books in this series, and possibly others by this author. A real page turner What made the experience of listening to Intervention the most enjoyable? The love for your child, the things you do to protect them. What was one of the most memorable moments of Intervention? When the daughter was trying to find a way out. Which scene was your favorite? When the son talk his way to Atl.

Deep in the Florida Everglades, a tragic accident has ignited a deadly feud between two families. Meanwhile a young writer, his girlfriend, and her family take a boat ride into the isolated wilds of the Everglades for research on a new book, only to become unwitting witnesses to a brutal crime. Now, as night falls, forced to travel on foot, they must flee through the treacherous wilderness while desperately avoiding the deadly wildlife...and the far more lethal human predators that are hunting them. Members Reviews: Excellent Thriller. From the second I started this I was hooked! From it's creepy swamp setting to it's psychotic characters, this is a must read. I devoured this and listened to it in a day, I just couldn't take out my ear phones!! I'm not going to say anything about the plot because it's easily spoiled but I will say that it was so fast paced and intense. From the very first page you are swept up into a thrilling and sinister book and one you won't want to end. The characters were fantastic. Its really hard to talk about them because this is the type of book where you are better off knowing nothing about it! Suffice it to say that this author can create some twisted people!! Lol. I'm having a tough time trying to write an in depth review because, as I said, you are better off knowing nothing because you will enjoy it more. Everything about this was amazing and there was literally nothing I didn't like. It's a tense and twisted read but one you will love. I am definitely checking out more by this author because if this is anything to go by then I'm sold! Jeff Hays was fan-freakin-tastic!! His voices and tones were perfect. He was chilling as the Uncle and gave me shivers!! He portrayed that family amazingly and really brought to life the terror the other people had. Go check out his work, you won't be disappointed!! *I received a copy of this in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.* A thrilling ride. Non stop adrenaline rusk. Jeff Hayes' performance was superb. Sounded like a radio drama. Enjoy the ride. Must Read!!! Love this Author and have not been disappointed with any of his horror novels I have read/ listened to thus far. This book pulls you in within the very first minutes of Jeff Hays reading. The Narrator of this book is amazing and does an amazing job changing his voice for the characters. The horror novel is intense, morbid and oh sooooooo GOOD!!!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!! Riveting! Well written, entertaining tale of suspense. Its not complicated, just un-put-down-able. Excellent narration by Jeff Hays. I am really looking forward to more from Jeff Menapace. A Twisted, Wild Ride in the Glades. This is my second book by Jeff Menapace and, I have to say, I am definitely a fan. This was an action packed, suspenseful story that shows the devastating consequences of one boy's lie and the actions taken afterward that destroys three families. Menapace has woven a horror story that is both grisly and all too possible in a setting that is a formidable as they come. The narration by Jeff Hays was excellent, his timing and character range was perfect.

Murder of a Lady Audiobook by Anthony Wynne

Title: Murder of a Lady Author: Anthony Wynne Narrator: James Bryce Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 56 mins Language: English Release date: 06-01-16 Publisher: Soundings Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 182 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: Duchlan Castle is a gloomy place in the Scottish Highlands. Late one night the body of Mary Gregor, sister of the laird, is found in the castle. She has been stabbed to death in her locked bedroom. The only tiny clue to the culprit is a silver fish's scale, left on the floor next to Mary's body. Inspector Dundas is dispatched to investigate. The Gregor family and their servants are quick to explain that Mary was a kind and charitable woman, but Dundas uncovers a more complex truth. Soon further deaths occur. Superstitious locals believe that fish creatures from the nearby waters are responsible, but luckily for Inspector Dundas, gifted amateur sleuth Eustace Hailey is on the scene. Members Reviews: Solid "Golden Age" Mystery In some respects this book made me think of a P.D. James novel. Much of it is filled with gradual revealing of the personalities and interactions between the different characters. The mystery itself is not that fantastic and, for me, not as interesting as the stories of the people. Nonetheless the writing and the story were involving for me. I found the narration to be well above solid and feel it added a great deal to the feel of the novel. It is far from a more modern detective or slasher story and one that might appeal only to folks with an appetite for a period piece story. However, for those of us who seek out such novels it might be a real treasure. Taut suspense A haunting story, very tight, clipped dialogue, completely compelling. This one grabbed hold of my mind and would not let go. I couldn't sleep until I finished it. The reader is perfect and impeccable. Don't read this if you are prone to nightmares, but definitely do if you love a psychological terror. Solid golden age detective story Like able detective. Good mystery. I figured out the who about the same time as the detective but not the how. A solid golden age detective story to be read by all fans of the genre. The Silver Scale Mystery of 1931 I've been meaning to read this book for years. It was always described as "the" classic murder mystery by those who recommended it. I'm glad I waited to tackle it on audio because James Bryce's narration is truly superb. When the lady in question is murdered, it appears for all the world to be a classic locked room mystery. But nothing is quite what it seems in this story, and there are layers of psychological suspense and characterization that are unusual in a mystery of its time. That said, it drags in places. To modern ears not used to classic detective fiction, it might not be a good fit. But if you do love old school murder mysteries, give it a go, and if you love Scotland, that recommendation goes double. Now make sure you have your Dundee cakes ready for Hogmanay, and have a jolly New Year. Scottish Golden Age This golden age mystery set in Scotland was an interesting listen. However, I did feel that it dragged more than I prefer. I have read and listened to many mysteries and novels set in England/Scotland between WWI and WWII and this one somehow had a more "dated" feel than many others. I am glad to have listened to it and added Anthony Wynne to my list of Golden Age mystery authors, but I am less apt to re-listen to this one than to most.

She adores whipping up buttery muffins and other rich breakfast treats for her guests until Bernard Katz checks in. The overbearing land developer plans to build a resort next door where an endangered colony of black-chinned terns is nesting. Worried about the birds, the inevitable transformation of the sleepy fishing community, and her livelihood, Natalie takes a public stand against the project. But the town board sides with Katz. Just when it seems like things can't get any worse, Natalie finds Katz dead. Now the police and much of the town think she's guilty. Can Natalie track down the true killer before she's hauled off to jail...or becomes the next victim? Critic Reviews: "MacInerney's debut is an agreeable entry into the crowded field of culinary cozies." ( Kirkus) Members Reviews: Great cozy read Enjoyed the book very much as I am a fan of cozy mysteries. A must read! Not for me This is a slow moving novel with an annoying lead character. Don't waste your time. OK.........but the narrator Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not? The book was OK. It was a predictable but entertaining story. But the narrator was tough. She had a very difficult time, it sounded like it was a lot of work for her to speak clearly & her voice sounded too old for the character. I'd gauge the character was supposed to be in her 40's but the narrator sounded more like 60's. Her pronunciation was tough......she said stuff like "sh-oc-o-late chip cookies" which was actually said quite often throughout the book.........there was a lot of SH for the CH sound and it was as if she was adding syllables to words. Not my favorite narrator. Couldn't finish The story seems okay but the narrator has no expression in her voice. It may as well have been read by my computer text to voice. Disappointed This book wasnt for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more? I did not like the main character of this novel. If it was the author's intent for the reader to dislike the main character she did a great job. That being said, if the reader likes characters that don't think things through and keep making stupid choices... they will like the book. I am going to suffer though to the end just to see how she gets out of it. Would you ever listen to anything by Karen MacInerney again? NO Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Talmadge Ragan? That would not have helped What character would you cut from Murder on the Rocks? The main one

Title: Blood Test Subtitle: Alex Delaware, Book 2 Author: Jonathan Kellerman Narrator: Alexander Adams Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 54 mins Language: English Release date: 06-05-12 Publisher: Random House Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 324 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: It is a case unlike any psychologist Dr. Alex Delaware has ever encountered. Five-year-old Woody Swope is ill, but the real problem is his parents. They refuse to agree to the one treatment that could save this boy's life. Alex sets out to convince Mr. and Mrs. Swope - only to find that the parents have left the hospital and taken their son with them. Worse, the sleazy motel room where the Swopes were staying is empty - except for the ominous bloodstain. The Swopes and their son have vanished into the sordid shadows of the city. Now Alex and his friend, homocide detective Milo Sturgis, have no choice but to push the law to the breaking point. They've entered an amoral underworld where drugs, dreams, and sex are all for sale...where fantasies are fulfilled at any price - even at the cost of a young boy's life. Critic Reviews: "A suspenseful thriller whose solution lies in the darker recesses of the human soul." (The Wall Street Journal) Members Reviews: Too choppy - made me think it was abridged. Would you try another book from Jonathan Kellerman and/or Alexander Adams? Absolutely. This was only my second JK book. I started with When the Bough Breaks and plan on listening to the entire series. I really enjoy Adams' narrations. Has Blood Test turned you off from other books in this genre? Nah. It was pretty rough, content wise, but I feel that makes books more interesting. It's a psychological thriller - I am not expecting to read about regular old murder. What about Alexander Adamss performance did you like? He has a great pace in story telling. He isn't overly dramatic, yet he still gets the inflection for each character just right. Any additional comments? The reason I rated this one so low, is because Kellerman doesn't explain enough. When listening, I kept rewinding or going back a chapter because I thought I had missed pieces of the puzzle. All of a sudden Delaware is making proclamations that are out of left field. It was so choppy that I actually thought I had purchased the abridged version. In any thriller/mystery, especially psychological, I want time to think about what may be happening - I appreciated this in When the Bough Breaks - each step was logical and tied together. In Blood Test, it felt as though Kellerman wasn't able to generate the story to lead-up to his conclusion, so he throws it all together in a monologue in the next-to-last chapter. I was riding in my car completely baffled and confused, truly feeling as though I skipped to the second part of the book. Great read. Loved it, like all the Alex Delaware stories. Would definitely recommend for mystery and suspense lovers. Loved the narrator and intriguing story! I thought I had read every Kellerman novel but am happy I missed this one! The plot was twisted, the characters unique and the botanical research very interesting. Great!! What made the experience of listening to Blood Test the most enjoyable? JK is always top notch. I was not disappointed with this one at all.

Maigret and the Tall Woman Audiobook by Georges Simenon

Title: Maigret and the Tall Woman Subtitle: Inspector Maigret, Book 38 Author: Georges Simenon Narrator: Gareth Armstrong Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 41 mins Language: English Release date: 06-20-17 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 9 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: A visit from the tall, thin woman he arrested many years ago - now married to a hapless burglar - leads Maigret on a tortuous investigation in which he struggles with a formidable suspect. 'When he had set them to work, Maigret had had a merry, almost fierce glint in his eye. He had set them loose on the house like a pack of hounds on the trail of a scent, encouraging them not with his voice, but by his whole attitude...would events have played out in the same manner, if the man from Rue de la Ferme hadn't been a heavyweight like him, both physically and psychologically?' This novel has been published in previous translations as Maigret and the Burglar's Wife. Members Reviews: Five Stars Simenon us a good read Another great story told by a great story teller. Maigret at his best. I can not rate high enough the entire Maigret series. Great reading. Simenon was a class ahead of the rest. The mystery of the missing corpse... On a hot summer day in Paris when most people are on holiday, Maigret receives a visit from a tall woman who says he once arrested her. Ernestine tells him she is now married to a well-known safe-breaker, nicknamed Sad Freddie, who has been in and out of prison for years. On his latest job, according to the woman, Freddie discovered the body of a murdered woman in the house he was burgling, and has fled and gone into hiding, fearing he'll be suspected of killing her. Ernestine wants Maigret to find the real killer so her husband feels safe to come home. The only problem is no murder has been reported... It's been many years since I last read a Maigret novel, but the recent Penguin re-issues in new translations piqued my interest in re-visiting him. This is the 38th in the series, so the character is well-established, and Simenon doesn't spend much time in this one filling in details of his personal life. It works perfectly as a standalone, as I believe most, if not all, of them do. Simenon creates an authentic picture of a semi-deserted Paris sweltering in a summer heatwave. Partly due to this, and partly just because he seems to like to drink, Maigret spends an inordinate amount of time popping into cafés for a little glass of wine, or beer, or Pernod â lots and lots of Pernod, in fact. I had to stand back in awe at his sheer capacity â not many men start the day with a glass of white wine before heading off to work, and it must surely be a French thing for the police office to have an account with the nearby café to have regular supplies of Pernod sent round during an investigation. One can't help but feel Rebus would have been in his element over there... However, joking aside, happily none of this constant imbibing leads to Maigret being a drunken detective â if anything, it all sharpens his brain. He is shown as doggedly persistent, worrying away at small clues until by sheer force of will he squeezes their meaning from them. The first thing he has to do in this case is establish that there has actually been a murder, and Ernestine helps by explaining how Freddie selects the houses he burgles. Even with this information, Maigret can find no victim and eventually begins to suspect that Ernestine is lying, or at least mistaken.

Title: Looking Good Dead Subtitle: Roy Grace, Book 2 Author: Peter James Narrator: David Thorpe Format: Unabridged Length: 14 hrs and 19 mins Language: English Release date: 07-21-15 Publisher: Pan Macmillan Publishers Ltd. Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 129 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: One single act of kindness becomes an endless reign of terror.... Tom Bryce did what any decent person would do. But within hours of picking up the CD that had been left behind on the train seat next to him, and attempting to return it to its owner, he is the sole witness to a vicious murder. Then his young family are threatened with their lives if he goes to the police. But supported by his wife, Kellie, he bravely makes a statement to the murder enquiry team headed by Detective Superintendent Roy Grace, a man with demons of his own to contend with. And from that moment the killing of the Bryce family becomes a mere formality - and a grisly attraction. Notice of Kellie and Tom's deaths has already been posted on the internet. You can log on and see them on a website. They are looking good dead. Looking Good Dead is the second best-selling title in the Roy Grace series from number one author Peter James. Critic Reviews: "Full of gripping twists and turns" (Guardian) Members Reviews: Enjoyable but questionable policing techniques I thoroughly enjoyed this book, populated with vile villains, winsome detectives, and innocent by-standers with interesting backstories. The narration was excellent. I withhold the final star because the police procedure seems to be somewhat unrealistic in several instances, including overlooking clear connection between events, failure to utilize armed response officers, and a senior police officer's distraction by clothes shopping amidst a major, horrific murder investigation. The protagonist's consultations with clairvoyants is also off-putting. I have a hard time believing that such an officer could attain the rank of detective superintendent. too much vulgarity had to return. probably an interesting mystery but I couldn't take the constant F bombs. I purchased because I like this narrator but I wasn't familiar with the author.... lesson learned. My Retro Read! Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Absolutely recommend this to everyone. I somehow missed this book in the series, and have just finished reading it after the latest book. I wasn't sure how that would work out, but I really enjoyed it, even though I know what happens to many of the characters later. Who was your favorite character and why? I really enjoyed David Thorpe's interpretation of Norman Potting. He nailed the character and the accent. Which scene was your favorite? No scene was a particular favourite. I just got drawn into the entire book. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? Just the terror of the entire situation. An innocent act of putting a CD in a computer to see what it was drew the character into a world of terror. Any additional comments? I really enjoyed David Thorpe's narration. He did a brilliant job, and I would love to hear him narrate some of the upcoming books! Hooray for Peter James This is the first unabridged audiobook I've listened to by James and I really enjoyed it. I'm an American and it was odd as I waited with baited breath for Grace to take out the bad guys with his firearm, but was instead dodging bullets himself! English police do not carry firearms! It's weird to me and strangely thrilling. How do they do it!!?? The book is very well written and researched. James has done his homework. The narrator was not the best, but did a fair job.

The discovery of a drifting mega-yacht the following day while fishing the Gulf Stream, causes quite a stir among the many alphabet agencies of the federal government, not to mention one shaggy canine. A severed leg and two whole bodies are discovered aboard. The find links the disappearance of the yacht's owners to the arm Jesse found 20 miles to the north, near his home in the back country of the Florida Keys. Black marketers from Eastern Europe have set up a base of operations too close to Jesse for comfort. The rescue of the yacht-owners takes on national security importance, but it's even more important to one of Jesse's closest friends.

Title: The Edge of Normal Author: Carla Norton Narrator: Christina Delaine Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 31 mins Language: English Release date: 09-10-13 Publisher: Macmillan Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 129 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: In many ways, Reeve LeClaire looks like a typical 22 year old girl. She's finally landed her own apartment, she waitresses to pay the bills, and she wishes she wasn't so nervous around new people. She thinks of herself as agile, not skittish. As serious, not grim. But Reeve is anything but normal. 10 years ago, she was kidnapped and held captive. After a lucky escape, she's spent the last six years trying to rebuild her life, a recovery thanks in large part to her indispensable therapist Dr. Ezra Lerner. But when he asks her to help another girl rescued from a similar situation, Reeve realizes she may not simply need to mentor this young victim - she may be the only one who can protect her from a cunning predator who is still out there, watching every move. From the author of the #1 nonfiction best-seller Perfect Victim: The True Story of the Girl in the Box comes a novel that draws you into a chilling and engrossing world. With powerfully gripping characters and an ending that is a masterpiece of deception, Carla Norton's The Edge of Normal is a stunning debut thriller. Members Reviews: Too long The story started off strong. Much of it was fairly predictable, but it was still good. However, the book should have ended several chapters before it did. It dragged on way past the point of a good ending. hmmmmm..a big fat MAYBE! I didn't like is the narrator she wasn't good at all. It was something about her changing to the male voice that was bad. The story line was typical-nothing really surprising. I don't think it was a great ideal to tell who the main kidnapper was so soon. I was hoping for some huge, great ending but no..it was kind of flat. I read the other comments-I didn't see what was so great or different about the story. I think a twist would have made this perfect. Good listen Good story, well put together. I didn't love the narrator. I particularly enjoyed the interview with the author at the end. Definitely added depth and understanding to the story and its raison d'être. I'd love to hear more of these on audiobooks! Love the Story, Love the Narrator... The narrator made this story, I was so sucked into all the characters. It was a very visual read, I could see the story unfolding as I listened... Great book and listen. Not the usual heroine for a mystery. Would you try another book from Carla Norton and/or Christina Delaine? Carla Norton had a fresh approach to her mystery, it would be interesting to see more of her novel approach to a heroine. Christina Delaine was difficult for me to listen to. She made the men sound rather slow witted, I would have enjoyed a liittle more variation in voice tempo and inflection. What aspect of Christina Delaines performance would you have changed? Change the speed of some of the characters voices, they sounded the same. If this book were a movie would you go see it? Probably not, the material in this book is easier to read than to take in as a graphic visual. When I read, I can adjust my imagination to a level that is comfortable for me opposed to a movie producer's standard.

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 118 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: Battling the bottle one day at a time, ex-cop, sometime PI Matthew Scudder finds that next to staying sober, staying alive seems easy. But in the mean streets of New York City it never is. Not for the prostitute who wanted out and got her beautiful self slashed to ribbons. Not for a pimp named Chance who is betting his life that the broken-down detective can find her murderer. And not for Matthew Scudder - just trying to stay alive in a city that knows nothing better than how to die. Winner of the Shamus Award! Members Reviews: Matt Scudder is the best ! Would you consider the audio edition of Eight Million Ways to Die to be better than the print version? Yes, certainly. I've read the book many years ago, but was truly a pleasure to listen to it. Lawrence Block does a great job in reading it and one can see the empathy with the main character (i.e. Matt Scudder) What was one of the most memorable moments of Eight Million Ways to Die? There not a particular moment. The strength of this book is the way the author describes characters and the NY atmosphere . Reflective with a dark humor and an acute sense on how to develop the plot What does Lawrence Block bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? It is simply a different experience . Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? The beginning and the end Any additional comments? Lawrence Block is one of the very best writers of crime novels ( probably better than Michael Connelly). The challenge with him is that he has written too many books of uneven quality. With Matt Scudder he is at his best (probably because is the character closer to him) and delivers very consistent top quality books Powerful What made the experience of listening to Eight Million Ways to Die the most enjoyable? Two great story lines going on at the same time. Both story lines deal with human emotions and frailties . Block has created a captivating novel that tugs at your heart strings and emotions. His best work in the series to date. What does Lawrence Block bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? It is his story. He knows how it is supposed to sound and does a great job. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? If I had the time ..Definitely Any additional comments? A must read !!! I liked the book. Would you consider the audio edition of Eight Million Ways to Die to be better than the print version? No What other book might you compare Eight Million Ways to Die to and why? None unless it's about you being an alcoholic. What about Lawrence Blocks performance did you like? Not really, Burt Reloads is worse. I like Titus Welliver or Joe Mantegna. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? It's about a drunk. Much deeper than most detective fiction Very good entry in the Scudder series. Lawrence Block is a better writer than narrator; he's an odd choice to play his hard boiled narrator. He reads almost everything in the same monotone drawl. Yet he can be strangely endearing after a while, too. The story itself needs no qualifications. It's at times sordid, at times depressing, and at times uplifting or at least hopeful. Scudder's battle with alcoholism plays at least as important role as the murder mystery. Deep and moving stuff. Laurance Block is always a good read. Mathew Scudder is a real, intelligent man.

Mysterious phone calls from San Francisco at odd hours of the night are the only contact she has had with Elizabeth for years. Now, Elizabeth has sent her a plane ticket and reserved a room for her at San Francisco's most luxurious hotel. Yet she has not tried to contact Martha since she arrived, leaving her lonely, confused, and a little bit worried. Into the story steps Mayland Long, a distinguished-looking and wealthy Chinese man who lives at the hotel and is drawn to Martha's good nature and ability to pinpoint the truth of a matter. Mayland and Martha become close in a short period of time and he promises to help her find Elizabeth, making small inroads in the mystery before Martha herself disappears. Now Mayland is struck by the realization, too late, that he is in love with Martha, and now he fears for her life. Determined to find her, he sets his prodigious philosopher's mind to work on the problem, embarking on a potentially dangerous adventure. Critic Reviews: "A small masterpiece, setting a fantasy story against a contemporary background." (Booklist) Members Reviews: My favorite dragon book This was an eighties book and I read and loved it at the time. It still holds up well, and I love that the romance is between people well past their middle ages. The computer bits are past dated but not central to the story. It's gentle lovely swashbuckler romance with a Chinese dragon. What's better than that? It's aged a bit somehow which is why I took a star off. But it still was delightful. Not recommended... The writing is cheesy, but there is something charming about this story. The mystery involves old-timey computers; it's amusingly antique, but never much of a puzzle. The black dragon himself is a great invention, and his zen master/love interest (who has a surprising cousinship with Mrs Pollifax and other middle-aged ladies of American popular novels) has good bones. But the narrator is so bad that this is a hard listen. If nostalgic, maybe better to find the ebook or an old paperback copy and just read it for yourself. Lovely Tale, but.... This is an excellent story that would probably be better in print than on this recording. A good storyteller can make a difference; but this reader can ONLY read, not tell a story; and her voice is too vapid for the writing. In spite of that, the story is charming enough to bear another reading--possibly on paper the next time. A Chinese imperial dragon who becomes human in his search for the meaning of life ! (I would like to hear the sequel, but same reader, so....) Underrated, but classic Where does Tea with the Black Dragon rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? As a story, Tea with the Black Dragon is superlative. It's a bit dated now, as a techology-driven story set in 1983, but MacAvoy gets the tech right. As an audiobook, it's... average. Occasionally, it is obvious that the narrator is not aware of cultural nuances and verbal tics involved in other languages to get some of the vocals right. (Mayland Long is supposed to have an old-style Oxford accent, but the narrator uses a modern, well-educated North London). Since language also drives the story, it might have been better to get a performer who understood and could simulate nuances of accent better.

Before long, the two of them are involved in a tale of greed and ambition that stretches back in time almost 200 years, to a sunken treasure ship that went down in these very waters. Critic Reviews: "Amateur detectives come in all guises: why not a struggling female golf pro?....There are some genuinely funny scenes here, and O'Malley reads as if she's in on the joke. She also brings out Ofsted's intelligence and courage. This is lightweight fare, competently served." (AudioFile) Members Reviews: Great Lee Ofsted Mystery I love all Charlotte and Aaron Elkins mysteries. I'm not very knowledgeable about golf but find this mystery series to be very entertaining. I enjoy this series very much I enjoy this series very much. Not overly suspenseful, but keeps your attention and has a positive ending.

Title: Resurrection Row Subtitle: A Charlotte and Thomas Pitt Novel Author: Anne Perry Narrator: Davina Porter Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 10 mins Language: English Release date: 01-28-10 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 273 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: Fourth in the series of Charlotte and Thomas Pitt mysteries, Anne Perry's Resurrection Row explores the dark undercurrents that run through the lives of the idle rich in Victorian England. After a wonderful night at the theatre, Thomas and Charlotte find themselves confronted with a corpse in the driver's seat of a cab. Even more shocking, it is the body of a peer who had been decently buried the week before. While the doctor insists Lord Fitzroy-Hammond died a natural death, the Pitts find the situation anything but natural. Determined to get to the bottom of things, Inspector Pitt begins his investigation within the proper channels while his intrepid wife, Charlotte, renews a tie from her past to get inside Lord Fitzroy-Hammond's world. But as they dig their way closer the truth, they find themselves in danger from forces who will do anything to keep it buried. Critic Reviews: "This provocative tale, extremely well read by Davina Porter, is highly recommended." (Library Journal) Members Reviews: Another good book in the series I very much enjoy Anne Perry's Charlotte and Thomas Pitt series. This book involves a complex story--leading the listener along several lines of plot development before pulling things together. This makes for an enjoyable mystery experience. In this book, Pitt is first investigating what are almost comical incidents of grave robbing, though certainly not funny to the people involved. But this morphs into a far more serious situation when someone they all know unexpectedly turns up dead. Perry has an interesting way of weaving concepts of good and evil into some of her books--and some of the characters in this one are excellent examples of that mixture. My only (very tiny) complaint is that Perry sometimes ends her stories a little too abruptly. She takes pages (hours, for the listener) laying out complex plots, developing the characters in minute ways (which is part of what makes them so good--she is such a keen observer of human minds and behaviors). So it is a bit jarring when the ending seems to come all of a sudden. Others may feel differently--but that is my only concern--and really, a small one at that. Recommend this book, if you like this series--but also if you like the historical time when policemen were just beginning to create themselves into a trusted group--who have to find ways to overcome class lines in getting the aristocracy to cooperate in their investigations. Love the Charlotte and Thomas Pitt series! Another terrific book in the series by Anne Perry, and as always, Davina Porter does an amazing job with the narration! A quick, good uncomplicated good read. Would you listen to Resurrection Row again? Why? No, because there are so many other books I wish to read. What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!) Surprised and I like to be surprised with mysteries. What does Davina Porter bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Emphasis, good diction, intonation of the different British accents. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? When Thomas comes in bone-tired and wet, and Charlotte has a towel in her hands waiting for him.

Critic Reviews: "Bernard Lee DeLeo is one of the purest writing talents I have ever had the pleasure of reading - a brilliant writing talent that I can only envy." (James Byron Huggins, New York Times best-selling author) Members Reviews: I can't believe this narrator has a Job. I couldn't even get through this book as this narrator was so bad that he completely ruined the character for me. He was so bad I simply don't understand how the people involved in the recording didn't recognize this fact. Nick McCarty is now ruined for me Great audio I really enjoy all Mr Deleos books. I look forward to more of them on audio. I like to listen them often while doing housework, it makes the mundane tasks bearable. The written ones keep me from getting any work done even though I've read them repeatedly. Please keep the audio books coming. The narrator's that have been used are terrific. They have kept the characters real. Thanks for the entertaining hours.

Title: Tarantula Subtitle: A John Milton Short Story Author: Mark Dawson Narrator: David Thorpe Format: Unabridged Length: 2 hrs and 25 mins Language: English Release date: 05-08-15 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 122 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: Meet John Milton. He considers himself an artisan. A craftsman. His trade is murder. Milton is the man the government sends after you when everything else has failed. Ruthless. Brilliant. Anonymous. Lethal. You wouldn't pick him out of a crowd but you wouldn't want to be on his list. In this second dip into his case files (see 1000 Yards for a further novella), Milton is sent to Italy to investigate the death of a colleague from Group 15, the secret assassination squad that liquidates those considered to be impediments to the furtherance of British interests. Milton discovers that the agent was involved with the Camorra, the powerful Mafia clan that controls the territory from Naples to the tip of the Italian boot. He identifies the assassin as a man nicknamed Tarantula. Now Tarantula, and his boss, are entries in Milton's ledger. And all debts need to be paid. Members Reviews: too easy? The British secret special operations office decides that the killer of one of their agents must be eliminated. So John Milton is sent to find out who the killer is and dispose of him. He does so brilliantly, while actually accomplishing far more than that one simple operation. That part is interesting. I liked the setup even though I had no idea why he was doing what he was doing until it was done. It all seemed too easy. I guess when you are him, you know how things work and where to go and whom to speak with. But it's like he was looking for a specific movie, so he read the paper, located the theater, and bought a ticket. I guess when you are an expert killer sent to kill an expert killer, you either do it or you don't, and your story is over. Well he prevailed this time, and went home. A bit pat. I really enjoyed The Cleaner, and its other prequel, 1000 yards. This is a short story, so it has to wrap up quickly, just not my favorite. John Milton tries to exit British intelligence John Milton is an assassin with British intelligence Group 15. He has worked there for 10 years and wants to leave. He is not allowed to leave. In this novella Milton is forced to go to Italy to investigate the death of another agent. This is an excellent espionage story. I highly recommend this novella and the 8 novels that follow it. love the series I enjoy the series love John Milton complexity with blood on his ledger,Part James Bond,part Jason Bourne,Equalizer Great enticing story As always the Milton stories and very involved and exciting. Look forward to listening to mote Terrible I have read his other books about John Milton and enjoyed most but this book felt like a boring formula.

Badly damaged, it is sent to Paris for restoration, and there literary historian Hugo Pineau begins to read the startling 14th-century text. Within its pages lies a fanciful tale of a painted cave and the secrets it contains - and a rudimentary map showing its position close to the abbey. Intrigued, Hugo enlists the help of archaeologist Luc Simard and the two men go exploring. When they discover a vast network of prehistoric caves, buried deep within the cliffs, they realize that they've stumbled across something extraordinary. And at the very core of the labyrinth lies the most astonishing chamber of all, just as the manuscript chronicled. Aware of the significance of their discovery, they set up camp with a team of experts, determined to bring their find to the world. But as they begin to unlock the ancient secrets the cavern holds, they find themselves at the center of a dangerous game. One "accidental" death leads to another. And it seems that someone will stop at nothing to protect the enigma of the tenth chamber. Members Reviews: Leaves Dan Brown's "INFERNO" in the Dust A Page Burner if you love historical, archeological mystery/thrillers. Didn't want this book to end. I am an artist, so all the cave paintings and incredible descriptions, left me wanting more........I had just finished Dan Brown's "Inferno" and was disappointed by all the "travel babble" and "running around" that took place as I found it very distracting from the story line and lost interest in the book at some point. I read the reviews on this book, purchased it, read it, and I am now a Glenn Cooper fan, awaiting another "page burner". The History of Southern France done perfectly! Where does The Tenth Chamber rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? Easlioty in the top 10. A wonderful performance. Who was your favorite character and why? The leader of the prehistoric tribe was great. What does Henri Lubatti bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Wow.Where to start. This is one of the best performances of the year. His accents, his correct pronunciation, his timing, this is the best. Revel in this. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? Not really, but it sure had me hooked. Any additional comments? Don't delay and don't use other Cooper poor reviews to steer you wrong. This is a stunner,a and well worth the credit! Not a bad read. I actually enjoyed the story. However, the narrator made me grit my teeth at times. When he was reading for certain characters, he wasn't bad, but the narration in general was just horrid. So bland and monotone, when it appears this gentleman actually is probably quite talented. Interesting content but distracting narrator The story was interesting, but convoluted. I got lost a few times and the narrator's overly French pronunciation of names and places had me confused about the characters. This might have been a better book of which to read than to listen. great book great narrator...great story...loved it...hope to listen too more stories from this author... Many twists and turns.

Title: Sweet Danger Author: Margery Allingham Narrator: Franis Matthews Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 42 mins Language: English Release date: 08-01-12 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 122 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: Way back during the Crusades, Richard I presented the Huntingforest family with the tiny Balkan state of Averna but since then the kingdom has been forgotten, until circumstances in Europe suddenly render it extremely strategically important to the British government. They hire unconventional detective Albert Campion to recover the long-missing proofs of ownership - the deeds, a crown, and a receipt - which are apparently hidden in the village of Pontisbright. On arriving in Pontisbright, Campion and his friends meet the eccentric, young, flame-haired Amanda Fitton and her family who claim to be the rightful heirs to Averna and join in the hunt. Unfortunately, criminal financier Brett Savanake is also interested in finding the evidence for his own ends. Members Reviews: A Campy Campion Sweet Danger is a campy sort of mystery, though the mystery really isn't much of a mystery. Campion is drool and amusing as he and a group of friends try to find the true heir to a piece of strategic property in a far off Balkan country. We get to meet the eccentric Finton family, in particular young Lady Amanda Finton, who scrape by running a mill. The Finton's hold the keys to the mystery. Lady Amanda likes to tinker with electricity, batteries, and radio. The bad guy and his cronies are obvious from the start. Francis Matthews is a wonderful narrator. I prefer him to David Thorpe, whose Campion I find grating.. Love Albert Campion Great narration and wonderful story from one of the classic writers of the British mystery genre. For its genre an interesting adventure Well, we have a mysterious hero doing a mysterious job for his government. A few items must be found. A treasure hunt? We have a disinherited member of nobility who is seeking recognition and his estates. A little Crusade history. A Demonic Doctor with an equisite cellar and a red haired lass who runs an electric car and a windmill. And the baddies also on a hunt. It is a delightful listen. Not at all serious. Another fun Campion Campion takes on a strange case involving a tiny kingdom and what amounts to a treasure hunt to find proofs to the heir. Lots of action here, and it's all well told, with excellent characters. Francis Matthews and David Thorne both bring good things to the readings of these novels, different but equally good. Breathing hops and confidence... This is one of my favourite books in the series, read beautifully by Francis Matthews. Seriously. The man captures the characters in ways that other narrators of these books just can not touch. (Okay, there is the one sentence where he accidentally makes Mary sound like Aunt Hat, but that doesn't bother me.)

Title: Merciless Charity: A Charity Styles Novel Subtitle: Caribbean Thriller Series, Book 1 Author: Wayne Stinnett Narrator: Nick Sullivan Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 5 mins Language: English Release date: 11-18-15 Publisher: Down Island Press Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 62 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: What can be done to stop madness from sweeping the world when political indecision is the norm? When the nation's leaders lack the backbone to stand up to them, what can stop an enemy that knows no rules? Charity. Charity Styles is a former Olympian and US Army helicopter pilot. Captured and tortured by terrorists in Afghanistan after the opening blows of the War on Terror, she has a score to settle. Now working for the Department of Homeland Security, she is offered the opportunity to make a real difference. Critical memories of her ordeal are buried deep in Charity's subconscious. When the director of Homeland Security's vaunted Caribbean Counterterrorism Command discovers the key to unlocking Charity's past, he unleashes a tempest, the fury of which no enemy can prepare for. Already a martial arts instructor and pilot, Director Stockwell guides her training in marksmanship and spycraft, making Charity the most dangerous asset in America's covert arsenal. Charity then sets her sails, crossing the sea in an antique sloop. A single-minded, all-encompassing determination stays her course...to confront the enemy and play by their rules. Members Reviews: She is a American Hero This character named Charity is a war hero and a very likeable person. Especially considering what's she's been through and overcome in her short life so far. Fans of the Jesse series will enjoy this series too. You'll be happy to know that she still interacts with Jesse & the team. In this book Jesse has his daughter Kim with him. I'm on book 5 on the Jesse series at this point. Charity is a strong woman without being masculine. She keeps her femininity. People that love sailboats will really like her boat. She sails to mexico and takes care of business and meets a new man. I spoke to Wayne and he's working on book 2 in this series with a possible release in March. Please read the publishers summary because... ...I do not plan to repeat any of the info. Merciless Charity is Book 1 of the Charity Styles series which is a spinoff of the Jesse McDermitt/Caribbean Adventures series by Wayne Stinnett. Styles is a repeating character in the McDermitt series. This book picks up exactly where Fallen King, Book 6 in the McDermitt series, finishes. Merciless Charity is an outstanding action, suspense, and espionage thriller. Nick Sullivan narrates superbly as usual. Very highly recommended. blah. Narrator was ok, but story was pretty weak; not nearly as good as earlier works. Justice not Charity Would you listen to Merciless Charity: A Charity Styles Novel again? Why? Yes. I'd need to give it a couple of years for the plot details to fade. Will listen to others in the series. What other book might you compare Merciless Charity: A Charity Styles Novel to and why? Many spy novels, but she brings a freshness. What about Nick Sullivans performance did you like? I could really get in Charity's mind. I anticipated, but did not find, difficulties with a male voice. He made me feel I was there. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? No. Any additional comments? Liked Wayne Stinnet's Fallen Books. Same qualities in this series. I appreciated not having to hear details of her torture. With books, I can flip ahead.
