Title: Brothers in Arms Subtitle: The Harry Waters Series, Book 3 Author: James Philip Narrator: Andrew Calverley Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 25 mins Language: English Release date: 06-09-17 Publisher: J.P. Coldham Ratings: 2 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Military Publisher's Summary: Brothers in Arms is the third book in the Harry Waters Series and the sequel to Heroes. Seven years have passed since former SAS officer Harry Waters stood trial in Winchester for the murder of his best friend. He wants nothing more than to be left alone but then Harry has always understood that what you want and what get in this world are hardly ever one and the same thing. Harry had known, sooner or later, his past was going to catch up with him. In Brothers in Arms his past returns to haunt him, and within days the cost is measured in blood and death. Harry has no choice but to fall back on the skills and training he acquired in a decade on the road with the SAS. A psychopathic killer bent on vengeance lurks out in the darkness and only Harry can lure him into the light for one last lethal confrontation. Members Reviews: Its a joke, right? It has taken all I can do to get about 1/3 thru this book. The plot is probably okay, but the narration is laughable. I'm probably and unfairly comparing him to George Guidall, who is the best, but his overemphasis is funny. I doubt I will bother finishing the book.

Only one fighting unit has the skill and ruthlessness to handle all this killing power, making every corner of the globe its field of fire; using with chilling efficiency every method of infiltration, demolition, deception and destruction this side of Hell. They're Navy. Those who know about them speak in awed whispers of the men they call the SEALs. Hobo Woods, Vietnam. Under a devastating attack from a vicious and seemingly countless enemy, Fire-Support Base Crockett is doomed in spite of the heroism of the GIs. Bravery is not enough. Neither is air power. There's only one way to stop the bloodiest assault since Heartbreak Ridge, and that's something nobody's ever had the imagination, the guts or the damned fool craziness to try before....

Randle Narrator: Scott "Scooter" Fortney Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 27 mins Language: English Release date: 04-13-17 Publisher: Speaking Volumes Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Military Publisher's Summary: Navy lieutenants David Kincaid and Douglas Bakker honed their flying skills over the Nevada desert. Assigned to a carrier on the South China Sea, they soared through South Vietnam's skies, whetting their appetites for the real thing: a dogfight in the North. But on their first ride over the DMZ the two hotshot flyers found out that an undertrained, underfed North Vietnamese pilot can kill like a top gun in the cockpit of a MiG. Knocked out of the skies for the first time, Kincaid and Bakker would return on a mission of their own. Soon in the SAM-littered airspace over Hanoi they'd be hunting for a MiG-21 with a cobra painted on the tail - while in Saigon's Gunfighter's Club the other pilots would drink a toast and wonder how far two men can go for revenge... They were America's elite, battle-hardened flyers...men who came from every service and every corner of the war. They lived with the agony and irony that was Vietnam and flew with courage and commitment. This is their story.

Washington wanted a safe war, where no American died and the enemy was pounded into submission. In Guam and Thailand a handful of men were chosen to fight that kind of war. The operation was Linebacker, and the mission was to use the big, bomb-ladened B-52s to strike terror deep behind the DMZ. For the men of the long-range, high altitude bombing squads it was a nerve-racking, soul-scorching journey over hostile territory, dodging flak while the North Vietnamese gunners honed their skills. And as the war went from bad to worse, and the bombers became Washington's weapon of choice, every B-52 man knew he was the enemy's most hated target - and that being shot down meant a fate worse than death... Members Reviews: Just Ok multiple story lines that sorta resemble the time... was hoping for more flying parts but it was okay.

Window on Pike Place Audiobook by Martin F. Sorensen

Sorensen Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 4 mins Language: English Release date: 11-07-16 Publisher: Sand Hill Review Press Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Military Publisher's Summary: Rachel McAlister saves Joshua Todaro's life on an Afghanistan battlefield. Back home in Seattle, he asks her to marry him. But someone murders Joshua in his Pike Place apartment and frames Rachel. On trial, she holds on to the only two things in the world that she can trust: her love for Joshua, and the battlefield bullet he gave her. She has to hope she can figure out who set her up before it's too late. Members Reviews: From a novelist who loves mysteries, but can't write 'em! For the first page or two, the detailed and reserved writing style of Martin F. Sorensonâs new mystery, Window on Pikeâs Place, baffled me. After just a few pages, I realized that this close third person viewpoint had drawn me into the mind of his main character â Afghanistan veteran and ex-cop Rachel McAllister â as much as into her precarious situation. She is a reserved person and slow to trust, though physically courageous and incredibly observant. I do not remember when I have read a mystery so detailed, every object, face and action clear during Rachelâs ordeal, framed for the murder of her beloved fiancé. Iâll admit, because my children live in Seattle, I loved the vivid scene-setting and local lore, yet even these did not distract me from the plot. I simply could not put this book down! We know from the beginning that Rachel is innocent. But I worried about her emotional stability, fretted as one discovery after another tormented her, and guessed repeatedly to no avail, as she did, about the murderer. If you are a mystery-lover like I am, do not miss this one! Captivating and Satisfying. This morning I completed the reading of "Window on Pike Place." I truly enjoyed the book, always looking forward to the next turn in the story, with many unexpected ones at that. I can honestly say it is one of the best crime/mystery novels that I have read in a very long time. Loved the characters, the poignant details, the setting, and the natural flow of events. I find that many mystery writers find it difficult to bring all the pieces of the puzzle together at the end which often leaves me disappointed. Martin Sorensen masterfully brought all the elements of the story together for a very satisfying reading experience. glared in the orange light like sentinels). In following the perils of Rachel McAlister Written in a tight economical style, Window on Pike Place is strong in both detail and imagery (The lightning bleached the public market... The windows...glared in the orange light like sentinels). In following the perils of Rachel McAlister, a woman framed for the murder of her lover, the reader is thrown into a veritable hall of mirrors in which little is as it appears. And the finale bears the wallop of a battlefield bullet. A compelling who-done-it. Excellent book! Marty Sorensen has a way of describing ... Excellent book! Marty Sorensen has a way of describing situations and actions that keeps your interest and is very fascinating. This story is a thriller and the kind of book you just can't put down. I loved the way it twists and turns and keeps peaking your interest. It's another good read from Marty. I highly recommend it! Outstanding story. Strong characters and a plot that had quite an unexpected ending. Lots of details that made the story believable.

Once a Pilgrim Audiobook by James Deegan

Title: Once a Pilgrim Author: James Deegan Narrator: Joshua Manning Format: Unabridged Length: 13 hrs and 4 mins Language: English Release date: 01-25-18 Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers Limited Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Military Publisher's Summary: Including an exclusive interview with the author. John Carr has recently left the SAS, after a long and distinguished career, and is now working for a Russian oligarch in the murky world of private security. But an incident from his past - in which three terrorists were brutally killed - suddenly comes back to haunt him. Tracked by a hit man out for revenge, John Carr is forced to step over the line to defend himself and his family. It's a cruel and violent world - and one he thought he'd left behind. But some wars never end. Patriot Games meets Taken in Once a Pilgrim. John Carr shows all the Reacher-esque hallmarks of a cold-blooded antihero doing what needs to be done, whatever the consequences. James Deegan MC is a fantastic new voice in the thriller genre, writing with unprecedented authority and authenticity. Critic Reviews: "As close as it gets to the real thing." (Mark 'Billy' Billingham, MBE, former SAS Warrant Officer and star of TV's SAS: Who Dares Wins) "Authentic detail and heart stopping narrative grips you from the outset bringing the shadowy world of today's special forces bursting in to life in a way that other authors of the genre couldn't hope for. The best thriller I've read in years." (Major Chris Hunter, QGM, author of Eight Lives Down and Extreme Risk) "Exposes the raw with the reality. This is a gripping high intensity drama." (Bob Shepherd, ex SAS Warrant Officer and best-selling author) Members Reviews: Don't overlook this new author, its a gripping read well worthy of the 5 stars This is a fantastic read. Really up there with the first McNab novels before he sold out to ghost writers and the sausage machine of mass produced anorexic plot novels. Deegan's style is slightly rough and disjointed, but perfect for the story and picture that he paints. You have the feeling that he really is telling a story, and it's very clear that the descriptions come from first hand experience. The plot flips between modern day and 20 plus years ago, and paints a highly descriptive picture of what it must have been like to work over the water and the real danger that these men encountered. Highly readable, gripping, and very enjoyable. I will be buying his next book based purely on how good this one is. 5 stars, highly recommended Five Stars This genre needed an author with Deegan's credentials.

I have been a loyal customer for more than 10 years and never left a negative review. I could not even finish the book because the narrator could not even read properly. Do you guys not filter the product before you release it for downloads?? I am very disappointed in audible for using this narrator... Any additional comments? The narrator cannot read or perform. It's a waste of time and your credit. Do not buy this book!!

Now reading the next series with some of the sme characters. Kudos to the author. In Pursuit of the Truth This is a combination of an International Intrigue with a Female Sleuth Mystery. Talya traveled from Mali to Dakar in pursuit of the truth when a person of interest to her company disappears. Will she succeed or will the Puppeteer find a way to stop her? One of the many things I love about this story is just how determined Talya can be. She is a female in a Muslim country. She abides by the customs when it suits her. Other times, well you'll just have to see how she shakes up her male companions. Ms Giamusso also shows the reader the different lifestyles within the region.

Now, they must become closer than ever to ensure they both survive the countless, gruelling battles at the front line. As the war progresses, Jim receives honour after honour, whilst loveable Bertie struggles to deal with the mindless slaughter around him. And meanwhile, back in Birmingham, their beloved girl Polly must choose between the two men. Members Reviews: Five Stars Thanks WW1 in trenches The first book I have read from Mr Wilcox but picked up due to WW1 background . I did think that the romantic side of the book was thin..it had the start of a good story but needed more depth on the home front. The author saved the day for me due to his writing regarding the warfare..the trenches and life between stages of battle - really brought it all alive and having read a few books on this war felt he really had done considerable research. I would be happy to tell my friends about this book especially after reading the background. Fly the flags for men like Hickman. Starshines Once again John Wilcox has brought us an exciting story filled with the human condition. I have read all of his Simon Fonthill novels and enjoy all the in's and out's of what it means to be in love and in war. Hard times in the trench I'm about half way through this novel and so far it's been wonderful. Very well written account of what trench warfare must have been like.

When a mysterious illness strikes Caitlin down, Megan is forced to forage for medical supplies at a remote lodge. The last thing she wants is help from her fellow survivors when so many in her life have let her down - but soon she'll find herself with no other option. Ex-Navy SEAL Wyatt Morris is doing everything he can to hold his family together after the tragic death of his prepper Dad. So when Megan enters their lands, he is mistrustful at first, despite feeling drawn to her. He won't turn away an ill child though - no matter how deadly the world has become. But the arrival of another stranger named Kyle soon gives them all a new reason to be suspicious. Wyatt knows he'll have to forge alliances in order to keep his family safe, but trusting the wrong person could be a deadly mistake. When Megan and Wyatt discover her daughter's illness may be linked to Kyle's arrival, it sets off a race to discover the truth before it's too late to save Caitlin - and the rest of the Morris clan. Can they work together for survival...and something more? Members Reviews: Enjoyable. This follows Megan and her daughter Caitlin. Caitlin is deathly ill and Megan is trying to find a way to save her. She stumbles upon a remote cabin that seems abandoned and breaks in to see if there is anything there to help her daughter. Extremely tired, she falls asleep only to wake up to some people in the cabin. Thankfully the people are friendly to her and agree to help Caitlin. She is hesitant to accept their help because so many people have let her down, but Caitlin is too sick to go anywhere. This was an enjoyable read, though a little.... too easyish for Megan and Caitlin. It's hard to believe that they would stumble upon people who are so nice and so prepared, but that could be just my cynical self ;) I also rolled my eyes a bit at the predictable romance!! It felt too fast. I did really like all the characters though. Megan is well prepared and knowledgeable in a lot of things and is well able to look after herself, but I liked that she didn't know anything and was willing to teach the family things, whilst also learning things herself. I liked the family too, especially the dog ;) They were all well written and developed!! In all, a good solid start to what I'm hoping will be a great series. I liked the extra mystery within the post apoc element. Like life isn't hard enough, they have to figure out what happened Caitlin! I'm looking forward to thee next one. Andrew Tell was awesome. It's been a while since I've listened to one that was narrated by him, but he is as good as I remember. He has a wide variety of tones and voices and even though the majority of the book is from a female perspective, it didn't feel like a man was narrating. Thoroughly enjoyed his performance. I was voluntarily provided this audiobook for free from the author, narrator, or publisher. This in no way affected nor influenced my thoughts. I loved this book. Where does Dark Retreat: EMP Lodge Series, Volume 1 rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? It ranks high on my list because it is a woman writer and women have a completely different look on survival and the SHTF.

The past doesn't forget. And it knows where to find you. Rob Rennie's life hasn't gotten any quieter since he left the Royal Marines and teamed up with an American vet, Mike Brayne. Mike - eccentric, idealistic, and enormously wealthy - can't resist righting wrongs. He's rescued a genetically engineered teenager on the run from an experimental defense program and brought down the head of the biotech corporation hunting the boy, and now he's waiting for the company to make another move, if it dares. He'll kill to protect the kid if need be. But Rob lives by the maxim that there's no such thing as over. And something's certainly not over for him. An unknown, unseen enemy is stalking him, with tragic consequences for his son and ex-wife. As Rob and Mike close ranks to protect their families, they find themselves up against industrial espionage, two warring scientists, and a blood feud that won't end until somebody pays with their life. The buried past has been biding its time to explode beneath them. Now, their best hope of putting it to rest forever could lie in the unique genetic skills of a runaway teenager. Members Reviews: Good follow up to the first, and in the same style The story really was good. But I have been waiting for a super hero. But got corporate secrets instead. Still waiting on the super worrier story. Fantastic
Awesome book! Great story! Exciting gets your mind racing of what's going to happen next. AWESOME loved it . wish there were more in the series. looking forward to more by Ms Traviss Anticlimactic Unfortunately this sequel does not have the novelty or excitement of the first book. The genre has so much potential, but it was wasted here. The entire story was almost boring. The ending could easily have been a cliffhanger, but the author chose to make everything safe and tidy. That makes no sense at all for an action sci-fi story. Very disappointing. Great story, good voice characterizations I loved the first book. I enjoyed this one too, but missed Euan Morton reading it, as it took a while to get used to the new character voicings. The story is excellent though, now got to wait for book 3 (?)

January 1964. Political intrigue and infighting roils Washington in the wake of the assassination attempt in Dallas, and a wounded President John F. Kennedy returns to the White House to face a growing crisis in Vietnam that threatens America's Cold War strategy. The president doesn't trust the information he is getting from Saigon, where the military is engaged in a shadow operation to make things seem better than they really are. So he turns to the one man he does trust: Lt. Colonel Patrick O'Shea. A decorated combat veteran of Korea, O'Shea has been plucked from obscurity to be Kennedy's military advisor, and is tasked by the president to figure out what is really going on in Vietnam. The knives come out as OShea grapples with myriad threats to himself and the president he serves. The Pentagon, the CIA, the Corsican Mafia, and the Chicago Mob are all conspiring against him. The debut novel by Ken Davenport, The Two Gates is an exciting new addition to the military, presidential, and alternative history tradition of W.E.B. Griffin, David Baldacci, Harry Turtledove, and Philip Roth. Members Reviews: Fascinating what-if tale! Davenport has done a magnificent job of filling in the blanks should Kennedy have survived the Dallas assassination. For those of us that lived through that tumultuous era, this is a fascinating read. The story moves quickly while not forsaking the tangled web that Kennedy had to reconcile. Any student of the 60s will find this very engrossing.

Buried Prey (forthcoming, early 2011) Smart Start to a Series I'm always looking for a new author of thrillers that I like, and I'm super picky. I need it to be psychologically gripping and this book had me. I liked it that we got in the mind of the killer, and it was a good police procedural. The womanizing was slightly annoying, and I hated the pregnant girlfriend, but I'm hoping she doesn't last through the whole series. But those were such a small part of the book they didn't really make me like the book less, and hey, he offset that with a nun for a friend. Overall very interesting and I'll keep reading this series. Later Davenport is better This is definitely not my favorite Lucas Davenport book, but since it is the first, that is to be expected. The plot is a little more straight ahead and simple and Lucas lacks the human complexity which he develops later in the series. Nonetheless, it was good to check in at the beginning of the series to get some context. And the story movss along well enough and has enough of Sandford's trademark gritty texture and local flavor to make it worth the read. He has come a long way since these early days. Clipped Recording I enjoyed the book but, like Ron (Oct 14, 2009), was taken aback when, at the end of each chapter, the last word/words of the chapter were cut short by an over zealous editor, who, instead of completing the current chapter, chose to introduce the next chapter early. This may not be a issue for some, but I savor every word of the books to which I listen. Good customer service suggests that this book be pulled from circulation, remastered without the clipping at the end of chapters and provided to those who paid their cash or utilized their credits for the faulty recording. After all, we specifically chose an UNABRIDGED recording, not one abridged by an editor's anxious hand. Ron's review is dated 2009. Shame on you, Audible, for not pulling the faulty recording before now, fall 2011.

Title: Eaves of Destruction Author: Kate Carlisle Narrator: Angela Starling Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 35 mins Language: English Release date: 11-07-17 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 127 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Modern Detective Publisher's Summary: Murder is on the to-do list when construction contractor Shannon Hammer looks for a killer in the fifth Fixer-Upper Mystery.... At the annual Victorian Home and Garden Tour, Lighthouse Cove, California's premier contractor, Shannon Hammer, realizes that the competition is about to turn deadly.... Shannon is in high demand among rival homeowners who will do anything to win Best in Show. One-upmanship and even espionage break out among neighbors, construction crews, decorators, and landscapers. Thanks to several new hires, Shannon is sure she can handle the extra load - until murder throws a wrench in the works. The small town's corrupt building inspector is found dead on one of Shannon's jobsites, and soon plenty of suspects are coming out of the woodwork. When another body is discovered, Shannon calls on her team of close friends and devilishly astute thriller writer Mac to help her nail down the details and build a case against the killer before the door shuts on someone else - for good. Don't miss Framed for Murder, a Hallmark Movies and Mystery Original starring Jewel, based on the Fixer-Upper Mystery series! Members Reviews: Fun series Interesting series. But frustrating to the reader as the relationship between Shannon and MAC never seems to really progress. In a way this series is like the Stephanie plum Janet Evanovich s books where the murder plot is good, but s a reader I would have liked the relationship to progress beyond high school dating with a few kisses, handholding and hugs. I like that Shannon is a strong female lead in a successful male dominated occupation, but Mac & Shannon have good chemistry and the relationship should be more adult, especially if the series is in romance genre. Better than the last book! I have listened to this whole series & the last book was a dud. I had hoped it was a fluke, and it seems it was, because this book was back to its usual greatness! The narration was great, the story was compelling with twists & turns. An enjoyable cozy listen Another great book I enjoyed listening to this book and I look forward to listening to the next book. Loved It! I enjoy this series! Eaves of Destruction is one of the best of the series. Thank you! Please keep them coming.

Dinner Most Deadly Audiobook by Sheri Cobb South

Title: Dinner Most Deadly Subtitle: Another John Pickett Mystery Author: Sheri Cobb South Narrator: Joel Froomkin Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 19 mins Language: English Release date: 11-22-17 Publisher: Sheri Cobb South Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 85 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Modern Detective Publisher's Summary: When Julia, Lady Fieldhurst, returns from Scotland restless and out of sorts, her friend Emily Dunnington plans a select dinner party with half a dozen male guests from whom Julia may choose a lover. But Emily's dinner ends in disaster when one of her guests, Sir Reginald Montague, is shot dead. When Bow Street Runner John Pickett is summoned to Emily's house, he is faced with the awkward task of informing Lady Fieldhurst that their recent masquerade as a married couple (Family Plot) has resulted in their being legally wed. Beset by distractions - including the humiliating annulment procedure and the flattering attentions of Lady Dunnington's pretty young housemaid - Pickett must find the killer of a man whom everyone has reason to want dead. Members Reviews: A great story supported by excellent narration This was my first John Picket mystery and I am just sorry I had not discovered them sooner. The book was entertaining and fun to listen to as it contains many of the things I like to read about. Theres a mystery to solve, a romance to sigh over and it takes place during Regency England, a time period that I find fascinating, especially from a social history perspective. Though the romance between John Pickett and Julia, Lady Fieldhurst develops across the series, you can pick a book midstream like I did and not be lost. Each mystery begins and is solved during the one book and the romance arc develops nicely. You understand what has gone on before but there are no detailed spoilers. The writing is wonderful. There is no purple prose here. Its crisp, expressive and articulate. The openness of some of the characters may not be in keeping with the times but it works well in telling this story to a 21st century audience who may not understand the nuances of Regency times; It was definitely a time where you could say much without using words at all. Joel Froomkins narration is excellent. His portrayal of each character is very well done. The character of John Pickett is the star. His romantic feelings for Julia, his resignation at not being the right sort for her, his desire to honour the man who helped him rise to his current position in society all come through in the narration. The identity of the murderer is kept until the end. I did not guess who it was, but then I rarely do. I could find no fault in the steps and logic taken to determine who committed the murder. In fact, its a nice change of pace to read about solutions that dont rely on technology to help solve a crime. Finally, a special mention goes to the character of Emily Dunnington. She is an excellent representation of what was expected of and what was condoned for a woman of her standing but underneath this, she was still a person with thoughts and feelings who was trapped by her circumstances. I loved hearing about her life and listening to her advice to Julia. Most highly recommended. ***** I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. A Delicious Dinner Mystery Dinner Most Deadly was a really great read. While I loved all of it, I adored the mystery part. Dinner party tension has always been one of my favourite murder mystery themes. In this story, Lady Julia Fieldhursts friend Lady Emily Dunington throws a dinner party to introduce Julia to a choice of potential new lovers.

Hour Game Audiobook by David Baldacci

Title: Hour Game Author: David Baldacci Narrator: Scott Brick Format: Unabridged Length: 14 hrs and 25 mins Language: English Release date: 11-02-04 Publisher: Hachette Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 3920 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Modern Detective Publisher's Summary: Drawn into this violent affair are two Secret Service agents turned private investigators, Sean King and Michelle Maxwell. Both have been hired to prove a man's innocence in a domestic burglary involving an aristocratic, if dysfunctional, family. Soon, stunning secrets will lead the partners into the middle of a frantic search for a killer unlike any they've confronted before. As the Hour Game barrels forward, Sean and Michelle face a macabre puzzle and uncover one horrifying revelation after another. Nearing the truth, they will find that their own lives are in danger. And then they're hit with the biggest surprise of all. When you play the Hour Game, you have to play to win. But time is running out...for all of them. In Hour Game, best-selling master storyteller David Baldacci has created his most mind-blowing and satisfying thriller yet. Critic Reviews: "Utterly absorbing, complex mystery-thriller that spins in unexpected directions....A snappy surprise ending will have Baldacci's many fans remembering why they love this author so much." (Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: Baldacci Doesn't dissapoint I recommend you read/listen to Baldacci's 'Split Second' before 'Hour Game'. I loved this book, I couldn't put it down. It's a great who done it and leaves you guessing all the way through. Narration was excellent! Sickening Scott Brick is great. However, plot was sophomoric and convoluted with gratuitous violence.....was glad to get it over with. Great listen!! This is the first book that gave me "sore ears" because I couldn't stop listening! If you enjoy murder mystery genre, this ia s real winner! not a great story So, so....could of been much better but was lacking something. Scott did his best but story just didnt do it for me. Disappointed I have read two other books with Sean and Michelle and love their chemistry and the research that Baldacci puts into these novels. However, this story was not one I would recommend. It was okay if you want to keep up with the progression of the series; it had some details that might be good to know that carry over to the next book. However,the story-line was all over the place. Even after the EXTREMELY convoluted summation at the end of the book it still didn't make for a believable story. I thought the ending was very far-fetched. However, the biggest criticism I have about this book is the way Baldacci treated the Michelle character. Michelle was a strong female protagonist in Split Second and First Family (both very enjoyable.) But, here the author portrays poor Michelle as a weak sidekick to Sean King. When we are introduced to her as a top-notch Secret Service agent in Split Second, she had amazing skills in marksmanship, self-defense, investigation, and reasoning. She really was a force with which to be reckoned. In this book, she never takes a shot until it's too late, (and then she misses,) she can't fend off an attacker when her life is endangered, and her investigative skills are almost useless. She makes only small contributions along the way, usually as a follow-up revelation to something that King has already figured out.

Never Go Back Audiobook by Lee Child

Title: Never Go Back Subtitle: A Jack Reacher Novel, Book 18 Author: Lee Child Narrator: Dick Hill Format: Unabridged Length: 13 hrs and 43 mins Language: English Release date: 09-03-13 Publisher: Random House Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 6148 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Modern Detective Publisher's Summary: Never go back - but Jack Reacher does, and the past finally catches up with him.... Never Go Back is number-one New York Times best-selling author Lee Childs new novel of action-charged suspense starring "one of the best thriller characters at work today" (Newsweek). Former military cop Jack Reacher makes it all the way from snowbound South Dakota to his destination in northeastern Virginia, near Washington, D.C.: the headquarters of his old unit, the 110th MP. The old stone building is the closest thing to a home he ever had. Reacher is there to meet - in person - the new commanding officer, Major Susan Turner, so far just a warm, intriguing voice on the phone. But it isnt Turner behind the COs desk. And Reacher is hit with two pieces of shocking news, one with serious criminal consequences, and one too personal to even think about. When threatened, you can run or fight. Reacher fights, aiming to find Turner and clear his name, barely a step ahead of the army, and the FBI, and the D.C. Metro police, and four unidentified thugs. Combining an intricate puzzle of a plot and an exciting chase for truth and justice, Lee Child puts Reacher through his paces - and makes him question who he is, what hes done, and the very future of his untethered life on the open road. Critic Reviews: "Child is a superb craftsman of suspense." (Entertainment Weekly) "The truth about Reacher gets better and better." (Janet Maslin, The New York Times) Members Reviews: Expect the Best "Expect the Best, Prepare for the Worst" becomes a theme through this book, but no need to prepare for the worst--this story is awesome. I've listened to all 18 of the Reacher series over the last three years, and Lee Child continues to shine as the creator of Jack Reacher in #18. As a Jack Reacher fan, all the great qualities are there: --Lee Child keeps it clean while keeping the action and the story riveting. --He makes Reacher multi-layered and complex by having Reacher cracks skulls of bad guys, then in another scene, out smart the bad guys through his knowledge of body language, human behavior, math, and yes, even poetry. --He reveals just a touch of Reacher's soft side. --He continues to unfold details of Reacher's past, weaving together a complete character that gets better and better with each book. --Throws in just a bit of humor that makes Reacher human. This story is even better than many of the first 17 in the Reacher series because there are a couple of great female characters. Like, really, really great female characters--the best he has introduced yet. The ending did feel a little "quick." I wish the action had been drawn out more, but to me, that's just a sign of a great book. I never want a great book to actually end. If this is your first Reacher novel, you'll miss out on a few "insider" jokes, like the folding toothbrushes. But overall, you certainly would be able to follow the story and enjoy it. As for the performance, as usual, Dick Hill is perfect. I think a narrator should disappear and let the story shine and Hill does that.

Look at his life! A lot of people hated him, from much-abused wives, to drug dealers out big money, to the families of five people he killed driving drunk. In short, Daggett wasn't popular. Critic Reviews: "A heads-up delight." (Detroit News) Members Reviews: narrator not great love series I love this series but this narrator is not great. would be better with different one. I like Kinsey and the stories are good. this one ended in a way I never saw coming. Great writing, terrible narrative. The writing of Sue Grafton is great. I have read her books and thoroughly enjoyed them. I was hoping to find a new level of enjoyment with audible. It's too bad they used the narrator. All the character voices were the same and there was no joy or inflection in her voice when things should have been up beat or funny nor did she use intensity for when things should have been. I used this book to fall asleep to. D is for: Dont Read My Review not because I didnt like the book I liked it a lot - but because my review wont tell you anything about the story. If you are already a fan, you dont need my help; you already know the series is great. I am driving through the last few titles I havent read to get caught up with the series: K, S, A, T, C, Q, U, L, N, V, M, R, J, I, P, A (again), B, and D done. E, F, G, H, and O to go! W is already on pre-order. Love Kinsey Millhone These stories are always great. They pull you in and don't let go until it's over. Look forward to the next one. love the book I couldn't stop listening to it had it done less than a day. great book.

Title: Saving Faith Author: David Baldacci Narrator: Michael Kramer Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 46 mins Language: English Release date: 04-01-14 Publisher: Hachette Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 2210 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Modern Detective Publisher's Summary: In the field of popular fiction David Baldacci is far ahead of the competition. Continuing his string of New York Times best sellers, Baldacci presents his most electrifying story to date-a novel of nonstop action, vividly etched characters, and an astounding vision of the inner sanctums of our government. Not far from Washington, D.C., in a wooded area of Northern Virginia, a small house at the end of a gravel road serves a secret purpose. With its sophisticated security apparatus and hidden miniaturized cameras, it is being used by the FBI to interview one of the most important witnesses the agency has ever had, a young woman with an incredible story to tell. But a few people know about the secret meeting. And for them, a violent drama is about to begin. One man-a local private investigator named Lee Adams-has come to the house on the orders of his client. Another man, a hired killer, stakes out the house on orders from his powerful paymasters. And the witness, Faith Lockhart, is coming to tell the FBI everything she knows about the powerful lobbyist with whom she has worked, a man who manipulates U.S. government policy and who, in the process, made some very dangerous enemies. Then, before Faith can tell her story, the hit man pulls the trigger and the wrong victim falls. Now Faith Lockhart is on the run-from the most dangerous people in America-with Lee Adams, a man she doesn't know, yet must trust. A relentless chase novel that unfolds as both the FBI and a killer search for Faith and Lee, this is also a searing and utterly suspenseful tale of power gone mad in Washington, and of one woman's desperate attempt to break out of a web of corruption and terror that reaches much further than even she can know. In the hands of master storyteller David Baldacci, Saving Faith elevates the thriller to a new level and poses stunning questions about the rules we live by, the rules we are governed by-and what happens when some people make rules of their own... Members Reviews: Edcellent story! Well plotted and compelling, but I was disappointed by the narrator. It was easy for my mind to drift from the book -- one of the few cases where I'll go purchase the large print version of the book so I can absorb it. This Book is 14 years old Baldacci wrote this in 2000, and it is being packaged as a new release. Knowing that the more foolish among us (yes me) would take this to mean newly written as well. Well this is a rehash of a pretty good story Ill admit, but one I have already read and paid for. Baldacii is not the only author who does this but I wish they would all stop. Put the original publish dates on your audible page please! That would make it just a little less shady. I suspect I will get my money back. Great story Where does Saving Faith rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? In the pack. It is a good story. I had an issue staying with the performer's pacing. He was too breathy and took long, unnecessary breaks at periods. Who was your favorite character and why? It was Connie but switched to Brooke near the end. I identified with Connie but... Brooke carried the story. How could the performance have been better? Yes. I think the reader did not properly pace the story, Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? No.

Just hours before, the news station had mysteriously received a portfolio of professional portraits of the woman. The photos seemed to be nothing out of the ordinary for any pretty young woman starting a modeling career. Except that she wasn't a model. And that these photos were taken after she had been murdered. Now Dallas is on the trail of a killer who's a perfectionist and an artist. He carefully observes and records his victim's every move. And he has a mission: to own every beautiful young woman's innocence, to capture her youth and vitality - in one fateful shot.... Members Reviews: Precious Peabody Perfection I love the newly reissued books in this series! Our beloved Peabody speaks in her wonderful, distinctive voice and all the other characters (especially the NYPSD crew) go through the wringer solving this case. It was always one of my favorite books with regard to bringing forth background info on secondary characters and now it is simply perfect. Great Book in the In Death Saga! This book was one of my favorites in the series. Roarke finally learns the entire back story with his mother and father, and it was written so beautifully that you wanted to reach into the book and give him a hug. I loved how Eve reacted as well, it was all so natural. You can tell that Eve and Roarke are both growing in their marriage. As for the murder, I thought the perpetrator came out of nowhere, though it was interesting to see a killer who really, truly thought he was doing something okay. He wasn't mean about it, just crazy. The action at the end really had me holding my breath, but of course everything turns out alright. P.S. :Love the narrator! Susan IS the voice of Eve to me. Fabulous book Enjoyed this book immensely. I love the interaction of the characters. I realize that this was an earlier book from a number of the others I've read but an outstanding book on its own. Delving into Roarke's history was enlightening. I look forward to reading many more Nora Roberts/JD Robb books in the future. Way to go team eve and Roark continue to grow into a power couple. She reigns as the avenger of murder victims bringing justice to the victims and loved ones. Roark shows a rare dark side to his personality when unwelcome info is brought to his attention. Mavis, Somerset, Peabody, McNabb, Louise ....Love this series! Good steady listen Is there anything you would change about this book? Her books are good mysteries. What makes them really good is that she develops the main characters. The side characters in the story are made interesting too. Would you recommend Portrait in Death to your friends? Why or why not? Yes What does Susan Ericksen bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? She does a great job with these characters. Any additional comments? Her books alway make you feel good in the end. They are a good way to listen your way through a drive or housework.

(T-shirt) Charley Davidson isnt your everyday, run-of-the-mill grim reaper. Shes more of a paranormal private eye/grim reaper extraordinaire. However, she gets sidetracked when the sexy, sultry son of Satan, Reyes Farrow, moves in next door. To further complicate matters, Reyes is her main suspect in an arson case. Charley has vowed to stay away from him until she can find out the truth... but then dead women start appearing in her apartment, one after another, each lost, confused, and terrified beyond reason. When it becomes apparent that her own sister, Gemma, is the serial killers next target Charley has no choice but to ask for Reyes help. Arsonist or not, hes the one man alive who could protect Gemma no matter who or what came at her. But he wants something in return. Charley. All of her, body and soul. And to keep her sister safe, it is a price she is willing to pay. Charley Davidson is at it again in Fifth Grave Past the Light, the sexy, suspenseful, and laugh-out-loud funny fifth installment of the New York Times best-selling series by Darynda Jones. Members Reviews: Charley Davidson is Back!!!! What can i say other than how funny and great this book was. From the beginning laughter was included and it was loud, specially remember this review when you hear the word salut in the beginning of the book, was at the office and i couldn't stop myself laughing. We are at book 5 and the number of characters is increasing and you get to know few new ones here, and some of them are unique. Of course narration was great. Lorelei King is a great narrator and one of my favorites. Darynda Jones you have done a wonderful job here, and don't make us wait for he next Charley Davidson book. Cant wait for the next book. Darynda Jones does it again. This series keeps getting better and i think the book speaks for itself. The Darynda Jones/Lorelei King duo is unstoppable! Every time I listen to a CHARLEY DAVIDSON book I know that Im in for a wild ride, but Darynda Jones has truly outdone herself with this latest installment. We finally get a real sense of the big picture thats previously only been hinted, and the infamous key is at long last inserted into the lock. Cryptic enough for you? Im sure that long-time fans of this series know exactly what Im talking about, but as for the rest of you this is a spoiler-free review, so youd best get reading! Theres definitely no shortage of plot threads in FIFTH GRAVE PAST THE LIGHT with ghosts galore, a serial arsonist on the loose, a new client with a cheating ex husband, and then of course theres Charleys ongoing issues with the son of Satan. My favourite mystery out of the bunch was the one surrounding the 20 dead blondes; I loved the way Jones developed this story line, and the resolution was masterfully done. The other subplots were equally as entertaining, especially the new tidbits we learn about this series main arc. Mr Wong continues to be stand-in-the-corner dude, but Im beginning to suspect that hes there for a reason. And, that cliffhanger, well lets just say its the reason why Ive postponed listening to this audio for so long. Ive been DYING for more Charley/Reyes smexy time since I first started these books, and Jones finally delivers in this installment.

I would seriously put this book in the same league." ( Fiona's Book Reviews) Members Reviews: Superb story and wonderful performance! Angela has catapulted herself to stand with the best crime writers out there today. This story is a fantastic blend of mystery, twists and investigation while giving us insight into the mind of the cops and killers involved. I'm an instant fan and would recommend Angela Mason's to those who love Ranking, Cornwell and Billingham. Great start to this crime thriller series One of the best books I've listened to this year. I love the cast of characters, Marsons made me want to know more about many of the supporting characters, in addition to my curiosity about Stone's past. The plot winds its way around and keeps you guessing all the way to the end. The pacing is blazing fast and perfect, I never once wanted to stop listening. I've already downloaded book 2, Evil Games, can't wait to see what new adventure lies ahead for D.I. Kim Stone. Great story! Good plot twists. DI Kim Stone is the " House M.D." of the English Constabulary. A very good story without unessecary gore or explicit sex, but plenty of action and plot twists. I enjoyed very much and will look for other DI Stone stories Happy Customer says, "This is aces!" Having watched Prime Suspect and Endeavor series, I have grown quite fond of British mysteries, colloquial language, humor, and police ranks. A DCI led team lends familiarity to this novel. The characters are well developed and I drew clear pictures of them in my mind. The voices of the performers added a lot to the story. The story itself derives from what happened to girls at a "care" home, of which the lead character also has first hand knowledge. The action moves along at a good clip and suspense builds to a climax that surprised me.

Title: The Nature of the Beast Subtitle: A Chief Inspector Gamache Novel Author: Louise Penny Narrator: Robert Bathurst Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 41 mins Language: English Release date: 08-25-15 Publisher: Macmillan Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 2950 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Modern Detective Publisher's Summary: Hardly a day goes by when nine-year-old Laurent Lepage doesn't cry wolf. From alien invasions to walking trees to winged beasts in the woods to dinosaurs spotted in the village of Three Pines, his tales are so extraordinary no one can possibly believe him. Including Armand and Reine-Marie Gamache, who now live in the little Quebec village. But when the boy disappears, the villagers are faced with the possibility that one of his tall tales might have been true. And so begins a frantic search for the boy and the truth. What they uncover deep in the forest sets off a sequence of events that leads to murder, leads to an old crime, leads to an old betrayal. Leads right to the door of an old poet. And now it is now, writes Ruth Zardo. And the dark thing is here. A monster once visited Three Pines. And put down deep roots. And now, Ruth knows, it is back. Armand Gamache, the former head of homicide for the Sûreté du Québec, must face the possibility that in not believing the boy, he himself played a terrible part in what happens next. Critic Reviews: "As Louise Penny explains in the introduction to her newest Chief Inspector Gamache mystery, Robert Bathurst had much to live up to when he was selected to succeed longtime narrator Ralph Cosham, who passed away last year. She listened to hundreds of candidates before selecting the British actor, best known to American audiences from "Downton Abbey." Be assured that her choice was right. Bathurst's pleasant light baritone and sensitive pacing suit the thoughtful series..." ( AudioFile) Members Reviews: Really miss Ralph Cosham.....so sad :( Takes a while to get used to a new voice and the experience is different but that is to be expected. Story is excellent as per usual and really wish I good visit 3 Pines....maybe some small Quebec town will be in for a name change soon....;). I still recommend. Heart breaking narrator If you could sum up The Nature of the Beast in three words, what would they be? Page turner, maybe overwrought Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How? Yes How could the performance have been better? This narrator does not, from my perspective, understand Three Pines or the people who live there, We need someone who loves the place, the people, not someone who understands Shakespearian overstatement Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? In the sense it was a page turner. Try again, Ms. Penny! I am an Inspector Gamache fan. I have listened to the entire series. In the introduction to this latest novel Louise Penny introduces the new narrator for the series. She says they did a thorough search for the replacement for Ralph Cosham, who sadly passed away. I say look harder. Robert Bathurst is a terrible choice and nearly ruined the story for me. I read the second half of the book rather than listened.. He was annoying, read to fast and made no attempt to characterize voices. The story is another good one for fans but my advice is to read it and spare yourself the disappointment. Great story, poor narration Would you consider the audio edition of The Nature of the Beast to be better than the print version? With Ralph Cosham, audio edition a great experience. New narrator gets in the way. Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How? Typical Three Pines plot. These aren't really thrillers.

My entire life can be summed up in one sentence: "Well, that didn't go as planned." (T-shirt) A typical day in the life of Charley Davidson involves cheating husbands, errant wives, missing people, philandering business owners, and, oh yeah...demons, hell hounds, evil gods, and dead people. Lots and lots of dead people. As a part-time private investigator and full-time grim reaper, Charley has to balance the good, the bad, the undead, and those who want her dead. Now Charley is learning to make peace with the fact that she is a goddess with all kinds of power and that her own daughter has been born to save the world from total destruction. But the forces of hell are determined to see Charley banished forever to the darkest corners of another dimension. With the son of Satan himself as her husband and world-rocking lover, will Charley be able to defeat the ultimate evil and find a way to have her happily ever after after all? Members Reviews: I absolutely freaking loved this book! I absolutely freaking love this book! Rated 1-5 stars w/ 5 being the best (Audible ratings) Overall: 5 Stars Performance: 5 Stars Story: 5 Stars Well, I have loved every book in the series and am totally addicted to it. The gang is all here: Charley, Reyes, Ubie, Cookie, Osh, and Amber. The only one missing was Charleys sister Gemma. As usual the humor was sprinkled throughout the book. I love the quotes at the beginning of each chapter. Three of my favs are: She has moments when she seems stable, but then so does nitroglycerin. Thank God I dont have to hunt for my food. I dont even know where tacos live. I never said Id die without coffee. I said other people would For some reason this book seemed to move along at a faster pace than the earlier ones. I enjoyed it, but it was different. The ENDING. I knew when the scene started, it would be the ending...the cliffhanger ending that Darynda so expertly writes. Still... It caught me by surprise. As always Miss Lorelei King did absolutely perfect job narrating the book!!! I totally love how she does each voice and makes the characters come alive. She is my absolute favorite female narrator. Any book she does is magical! Did I mention that I absolutely freaking love this book! Love this Series I love this series I received an early kindle copy from net galley that I devoured in one day. Then as soon as it came out I ordered the audible version because I love listening to Ms. King bring Charley to life. This does end on a cliff hanger which surprisingly I'm okay with because it means Ill get Charley an Reyes in the future. Too cheeky at times I love this series and have much respect for Darynda Jones' ability as a visioner of stories. Sometimes Charlie's dialogue is overly fraught with cliches. It stops being funny and drags on the storyline. Jus sayin, but thanks. Again I am a fan. Really Loved But... I am a huge fan of the Charlie Davidson series but it felt like the details of the sex were more of a filler this time rather than more pertinent story. The series have been gentle on describing the sex up to the 8th book. Then it began to become more erotica than thriller- mystery.

Blindsighted Audiobook by Karin Slaughter

But it's only when town pediatrician and coroner Sara Linton does the autopsy that the full extent of the killer's twisted work becomes clear. Sara's ex-husband, police chief Jeffrey Tolliver, leads the investigation - a trail of terror that grows increasingly macabre when another local woman is found crucified a few days later. But he's got more than a sadistic serial killer on his hands, for the county's sole female detective, Lena Adams - the first victim's sister - want to serve her own justice. But it is Sara who holds the key to finding the killer. A secret from her past could unmask the brilliantly malevolent psychopath.... or mean her death. Members Reviews: Great story- raw and amazing characters What three words best describe Kathleen Earlys performance? Crisp, good tempo Any additional comments? I started with Copland... Hated it and loved it simultaneously! The sexism and racism was weaved through the story in Ms. Slaughter's way, gave a glimpse of the past in a grisly reality. Read it twice before starting the rest of her books. This one did not disappoint! One thing to note, chapter 15 is a repeat of the previous chapter. A sound edit mistake. Not a huge deal... Just needs a tweak. Otherwise it was perfect for me. Sadly, a bit of a letdown What did you like best about Blindsighted? What did you like least? I thought the plot was a little cookie cutter, shallow and lacked anything that really made it stand out as unique. What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!) felt very Nora Roberts, I love her stuff but it is predictable, and follows a very specific formula. Any additional comments? I chose this one after reading Pretty Girls by the same author, which was an amazing book. I think this being one of the author's early works is just not quite up to par with where her later works are. I may continue with this series based on how good Pretty Girls was, but this book fell flat for me. The narrator was awesome, she is really enjoyable. Gruesome mystery. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, it's my first Karen Slaughter book and I was pleasantly surprised. It was a perfect mix of gruesome and mysterious. Gory But Good I am a new reader to Ms. Slaughter. My sister mentioned I may like this series and she was right, I am really liking it. Although I think it is a series that begs to be read in order, there is so much going on with the characters, their families and their lives together, I think you would miss something by reading them out of order. I'm glad they are all still available. With that said, I also want to point out that so far, the books I have read, are very graphic, so if you only like cozies, stay away. I gave it a four for only one reason, I had the bad guy figured out right away, I mean I just knew from the first time the character was introduced. I still enjoyed the story very much, so I didn't let that stop me from listening, but I thought well this is a little too easy to figure out. It won't stop me from the next book. So for anyone out their looking for a series to pick up they may have not read yet, I highly recommend this author. Oh and I understand she has another series with different characters, but I have not gotten to them yet.

Army Special Agent John Puller is the best there is. A combat veteran, Puller is the man the U.S. Army relies on to investigate the toughest crimes facing the nation. Now he has a new case - but this time, the crime is personal: His aunt has been found dead in Paradise, Florida. A picture-perfect town on Florida's Gulf Coast, Paradise thrives on the wealthy tourists and retirees drawn to its gorgeous weather and beaches. The local police have ruled his aunt's death an unfortunate, tragic accident. But just before she died, she mailed a letter to Puller's father, telling him that beneath its beautiful veneer, Paradise is not all it seems to be. What Puller finds convinces him that his aunt's death was no accident and that the palm trees and sandy beaches of Paradise may hide a conspiracy so shocking that some will go to unthinkable lengths to make sure the truth is never revealed. Members Reviews: Good except for... The book was great. A little farfetched at times, but that's expected in thriller fiction. What I didn't like were the annoying sound effects and the female narrator...just sounds "staged", not natural. Other than those minor things, I enjoyed it as I do most of Baldacci's books. Really liking PULLER Engaging story about the horrific practice of human trafficking. No clue if these scenarios actually exist but they are more than plausible. I am really getting to like Puller. I like fictional characters that we can follow in a series: Childs' Reacher, Cornwells' Scarpetta, etc. Looking forward to the Puller adventure. Not to be Forgotten Fun, classic Baldacci (for those who know his stories). I will listen to this again. Don't believe the cranky reviews. The sound effects are basically like old radio stories (for those of you not old enough to remember, where sound effects were way more intrusive). However, in an audiobook, I admit I prefer a single reader, even for male and female parts (assuming the reader is up to it). That having been stated, nothing needs to be said about the plot or writing other than that they are good and entertaining, as usual. Not my favorite... Puller is a Jack Reacher/Mitch Rapp character. I found many similarities. When I first started listening to this book, I thought that I had a corrupted download. They have sound affects that made a humming sound. It didn't last long. I liked the first book in this series better. I hope that the next book is a little more interesting. I love David Baldacci's books so I will buy the next one. Disregard the negative reviews Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Absolutely! The book has non-stop action, lots of twists and turns, and all the escape scenes are quite believable. I judge the quality of a book by how long it takes me to get through it. This book had me listening at every opportunity including the middle of the night-- just couldn't put it down. Took three days from start to finish. That makes it a five star book for me. Who was your favorite character and why? I had several favorite characters, but John heads the list. A hero from the same mold as Jack Reicher and others like him. Which character as performed by Ron McLarty and Orlagh Cassidy was your favorite? Julie Carson tops the list.

Critt Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 13 mins Language: English Release date: 04-12-11 Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 1987 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Modern Detective Publisher's Summary: Bounty hunter Stephanie Plum is back. The brassy babe in the powder blue Buick has been given the unpopular task of finding Mo Bedemier, Trenton's most beloved citizen, arrested for carrying a concealed weapon, gone no-show for his court appearance. Once again, the entire One for the Money crew is in action, searching for Mo, tripping down a trail littered with dead drug dealers, leading Stephanie to suspect Mo may be in over his head. Members Reviews: Typical Stephanie Plum novel This is a typically light, fun, and somewhat crude Stephanie Plum murder mystery by Janet Evanovich. The formula works. CJ Critt is an outstanding narrator. HYSTERICAL AND A GOOD MYSTERY My husband was wondering what the hell I was listening to. I laughed out loud often. He'd look at me and I would have to replay that part of the story, he agreed, it was funny. The Narrator was perfect for the main and secondary characters. I kept putting off Stephanie Plum, I am savoring every bit of her crazy life now. Thee to Get Deadly This was a good story, as usual, for Janet Evanovich. The narrator has changed from previous books. This took away from the story for me. Critt tried and did a decent job, but the voice used for Ranger made him sound like an adult special needs person, not a hunk. The voice used for the Grandmother was also lacking. Instead of a quirky old lady with outrageously funny comments, she now sounds like an old smoker making odd comments that don't match her voice. UNABRIDGED - thank you thank you thank you I can't believe it took so long for us to get the unabridged version of books 2 & 3. It was well worth the credit. Cant wait for the unabridged version of book 1. well written, fun read. Narration brings story to life! loved listening to the different characters evolving. story keeps you guessing. no predictability here.

Title: Gator Bait Subtitle: A Miss Fortune Mystery, Book 5 Author: Jana DeLeon Narrator: Cassandra Campbell Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 37 mins Language: English Release date: 02-02-16 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 1075 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Modern Detective Publisher's Summary: From New York Times and USA Today best-selling author Jana DeLeon, the fifth book in the hilarious Miss Fortune series. Things are starting to look up for Fortune Redding. Even though her life was at stake, the CIA assassin had balked at taking on a new identity in Sinful, Louisiana. But instead of hating it like she'd thought she would, Fortune now has friends she cares about and just finished up an incredible first date with the sexiest deputy in the state. Sure, there's been a murder or two that she's gotten mixed up in since she arrived in town, but she's hoping all of that is behind her. But when someone almost kills Deputy Carter LeBlanc, Fortune tosses her dreams of peace and quiet into the muddy bayou and shifts back into being the deadly trained professional that she is. With the help of Ida Belle and Gertie, Fortune launches a manhunt, intending to find a killer before he tries again. Members Reviews: Celebrating Strong Women Jana Deleon has a real talent for creating strong, confident and fascinating women, unlike the pathetic wimpy girls so popular in recent romantic fiction. In Gator Bait, the Swamp Team 3 (Fortune, Ida Belle and Gertie) helped deputy Carter investigate the possibility of someone running guns through Sinful, Louisiana. While the plot was well written, it's the town's unique characters and humorous situations which make this series so entertaining. FYI, these books are light on swearing, sex or graphic violence but heavy on chuckles. Reminds me of... This isn't the best review because it's a recommendation for another series: Dead End Jobs by Elaine Viets. I bring this up because if you've made it this far with Fortune then you like the style of mystery and Dead End Jobs is very similar. Anyway, Gator Bait is more of the same for the series. I liked it but it may need some more development on her would-be asssain. Fortune, Gertie,And Ida The Sinful Ladies are fabulous. Makes me wish I was in the bayou! Great read!! Very good series Any additional comments? Good book, but not quite as good as the previous books in the series. I still love the characters as if they were real and the reader is superb. Excellent series! Would you consider the audio edition of Gator Bait to be better than the print version? The narration is incredibly good! What was one of the most memorable moments of Gator Bait? The whole book is too good good to just single out an incident. Have you listened to any of Cassandra Campbells other performances before? How does this one compare? This whole series is narrated by her. She is the perfect narrator. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? I did, it only took me one day. Any additional comments? Superb series and narration.

As Jack's world continues to crumble, secrets from his past drag him down. Following a trail that has grown cold, Jack must tread carefully to protect his job, his family, and his own life. Members Reviews: Impeccable Story... You can't imagine a gentleman like this author ever knowing an earthly thing about the underbelly of life that this novel depicts, but his writing resounds with the tone of real people imbedding a real place in time. The story breathes you in and holds its breath as the tension mounts. The language is both stark and deliciously detailed. A good novelist needs three things, experience, observation, and imagination--any two of which, at times any one of which--can supply the lack of the other Greyson seems to have all three in spades. He has applied them and built, simply put a masterpiece.. A fabulous book, for sure, and well worth the price anyone pays for it!! "I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review Better Story This second audiobook in the series is much better than the first one. However, the story still seems it was written for the 14-18 year old groups. The narrator is better too. By Far one of the best detective books Where does Girl Jacked rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? This has to be one of the best. The story line keeps you on your toes! Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How? The way you would think you were about to figure out who had committed the crime, and then it changed! Which scene was your favorite? When his foster sister was in the bathroom and came out and saw Jack. It was very funny Any additional comments? I love this author! He is by far one of my favorites. Also Love the Cop Kendra's name :) Glad when it was over Any additional comments? The story was sophomoric & too plodding to hold interest. The protagonist was likeable but was also a sloppy police detective. He seemed unprepared the majority of the time i.e. not bringing a gun etc. It may have had something to do with the narrator but listening to character Replacement's immature & frequent anger rants was stress-producing. I imagine the author felt it gave her "personality". It gave me a headache.

But Kinsey never welched on a deal. She'd been hired to stop a killing, now she'd find the killer instead. Critic Reviews: "Millhone's feisty, stubborn, resourceful, guardedly romantic, and willfully practical...our kind of loner." (Detroit News) Members Reviews: Perfect escapist listening I like Sue Grafton because her books are interesting but you don't have to think too hard to follow the story. Each book stands alone, but they're better in alphabet order because the main character, Kinsey Milhone, develops over time. typically Grafton - good read This is a good read, just as I expect from Sue Grafton! Very Good Read and Reader! What did you love best about C is for Corpse? I really enjoyed the plot of this one. It was somewhat predictable, but still very griping I very much want to listen to the other books in this series. What did you like best about this story? I thought that the story was very fluid and believable which I find refreshing. Many of the books I listen to are not this easy to get involved in. I really wanted to know what was going to happen next. Which character as performed by Mary Peiffer was your favorite? Kinsey is hands down my favorite. She has the perfect voice to go with the character. I can't imagine a better reader for this book. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? If I had the time I would have listened to it from start to finish. Guesssing Would you consider the audio edition of C is for Corpse to be better than the print version? The easy to follow the story when doing manual tasks Who was your favorite character and why? Always Kensey Which scene was your favorite? The friend with all the cats that worked at the roller-ring with the black book If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be? I never was like other kids but learned to search house to find thing instead of kid games Any additional comments? no Intreging, great storyline and hard to put up What did you love best about C is for Corpse? Kinsey tells it like it is, you can relate to her Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How? Sue has a talent about her to keep you listening or reading her books to find out the conclusion ] Which character as performed by Mary Peiffer was your favorite? I still enjoy Kinsey the best Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? Kinsey can be very forthcoming in a very interesting way Any additional comments?

With millions of dollars at stake, a number of groups step forward to claim her, including Danny's family, the tribe, and the federal government. As Wyoming's acting deputy attorney and a cadre of FBI officers descend on the town, Walt is determined to find out who would benefit from Danny's death, enlisting old friends Lucian Connolly and Omar Rhoades - along with Dog and best friend Henry Standing Bear - to trawl the vast Lone Elk ranch, looking for answers to a 65-million-year-old cold case that's heating up fast. Critic Reviews: "George Guidall just gets better and better as the gruff, dependable Sheriff in the 11th Walt Longmire mystery.... Guidall is so genuine he's almost invisible. First-rate listening." ( AudioFile) Members Reviews: 'Dem Bones! When the only bad thing you can say about a listen is that it's too short, you have a winner! There have been many Longmire adventures since "Cold Dish" - and it's very rare for just about every one of them to be a home run. "Dry Bones," despite being a bit short, is another memorable addition to the series. Craig Johnson never misses a beat; his stories are long on lore, on humor, and on heart. How does he do it? "Dry Bones" has the usual genuine flavor of the surroundings and characters of the fictional Absaroka County, Wy. There's well-placed and interesting information about dinosaurs, digging rights in the West, and (of all things) snapping turtles! The humor is wry and never forced. And, most of all, the listener is once again drawn into the lives, loves, and heartbreaks of some of the best characters in mystery fiction - excellently portrayed by the wonderful George Guidall. If you are unacquainted with Criag Johnson's Longmire books, it's probably best to start back at the beginning. I'm pretty sure you'll find yourself getting all the way to "Dry Bones." Solid Outing, But Missing Something A solid and entertaining outing, but missing something, compared to most of the entries in this series. Some great character moments, but it felt like we were just biding our time until we can address one of the major through plots of the last few books (all the more urgent after the tragedy in this books' b-plot). Have loved the Longmire series so far, but... The book, on its own is still really good, but Craig Johnson seems to be slipping into a pattern that has caused me to abandon series in the past. This started with the last book and the disappearance of the mysterious Mexican hit man, which carries over to this book, and apparently will carry over to the next one. I hated the second Star Wars movie because it was so obviously merely a commercial set up for a third one and thats the feeling I'm starting to get with the Longmire series.

One simple mistake, for a girl who is about to lose her family home, releases the ghost of a long-dead gangster and opens Verity Long's eyes to a whole new world. When out-of-work graphic designer Verity Long accidentally traps a ghost on her property, she's saddled with more than a supernatural sidekick - she gains the ability to see spirits. It leads to an offer she can't refuse from the town's bad boy, the brother of her ex and the last man she should ever partner with. Ellis Wyatt is in possession of a stunning historic property haunted by some of Sugarland, Tennessee's finest former citizens. Only some of them are growing restless - and destructive. He hires Verity to put an end to the disturbances. But soon Verity learns there's more to the mysterious estate than floating specters, secret passageways, and hidden rooms. There's a modern-day mystery afoot, one that hinges on a decades-old murder. Verity isn't above questioning the living or the dead. But can she discover the truth before the killer finds her? Members Reviews: Cute, Clean Cozy Mystery Cozy Mysteries are not my normal genre; however, one of my closest friends was telling me how much she enjoyed this audio, and since we have similar taste in books I decided to give it a try. I have to admit, it was an entertaining audio, and Tavia really brought the characters and emotions to life. I loved her performance, and thought it was very lively and animated, but could see how some might thing it was over the top. Some spoilers; Through a series of unfortunate events, Verity finds she needs to raise money quickly to pay off her ex fiancé's family so she decides to sell her family's home. While going through some old items, she stumbles across a dirty old vase filled with dust, and proceeds to clean it, and dump the dust into the rose garden. To her horror and shock, she finds out it wasn't dust, but rather the ashes to a gangster named Frankie, when his ghost appears. Frankie wasn't too pleased with Verity the dumping his ashes, because now he is tied to the house. After her initial shock, Verity and Frankie strike up a odd friendship, and a deal. Frankie knows where Verity can find some hidden money to pay off the debt so she can keep her home, but in return she must try to help free him. They start searching for the hidden loot, and end up face to face with Ellis, her ex-fiancé's brother, who also happens to be a cop. He's not buying her story about ghost or the hidden money, but when strange things start happening at the house he is renovating, he hires Verity to get rid of his ghostly pest. Even though she is new to ghost, and doesn't really know what she is doing, she needs the money badly, and against her better judgment, she takes the job. She maybe a novice, but with her sidekick Frankie, she just might be able to rid Ellis of his ghost. However, things become dangerous real quick as they investigate, encounter other ghost, evil spirits, and find clues, something or someone will do everything to try to stop them from uncovering the truth. This story was filled with mystery, suspense, danger, and a spark of romance.

Wortham Narrator: Traber Burns Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 40 mins Language: English Release date: 06-07-11 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 1540 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Modern Detective Publisher's Summary: Its a whole other country out there. In 1964, when Ned Parker, farmer and part-time constable, is summoned to a cornfield one hot morning to examine the remains of a tortured bird dog, he discovers that there is a dark presence in their quiet community of Center Springs, Texas. Ned is usually confident handling moonshiners, drunks, and instances of domestic dispute. But when it comes to animal atrocitieswhich then turn to murderthe investigation spins beyond his abilities. Ned combines forces with John Washington, a well-known black deputy sheriff from nearby Paris, Texas, to track down a disturbed individual who has become a threat to their small community. As the case takes a dizzying series of twists and brings forth eccentric characters as well as several dead ends, Neds cranky friend, Judge O. C. Rains, is forced to contact the FBI. Then, sinister warnings that his family has been targeted by the killer lead Ned to the startling discovery that he knows the murderer very well. After the failed abduction of his precocious grandchildren, Top and Pepper, the old lawman becomes judge and jury to end what has become a murder spree in the Red River bottomlands. And it signals the end of an era in Center Springs. In bald-headed, pot-bellied Ned Parker, Wortham has created an authentic American hero reminiscent of the best heroes and antiheroes in a story that blends country humor with heart-pounding suspense and ends with a stunning climax that may well shock our civilized sensibilities. A Poisoned Pen Press Mystery Members Reviews: A Must Read This is a book that you could listen too time and time again. Great character development coupled with a story line that one knew would end badly for someone but not in the way most would have expected. The narration was exceptional and really fit the characters to a tee. 5 Stars on all counts. "To Kill a Mockingbird" Meets "Longmire" I suppose I have Longmire on the brain because I have just finished that series (and it was worth every second). Just as in Longmire, I fell in love with these characters pretty quickly, as well as the small town constable's interactions with people he has known all of his life. The relationship between grandpa and Top is charming, and reminiscent of "To Kill a Mockingbird", partly because some of the narrative is told from Top's side, and partly because they're so damned likeable. The author does a nice job of evoking and integrating the tempo, issues, music and views of the early 1960s, and the insidious effects serving in the Vietnam conflict had on the lives of the young men sent there, and the small towns where they returned after they served. The mystery is a good one, with twists and turns, and false starts that mislead the listener. This was altogether worth the read, and I will be buying the next in the series. Mystery, humor, thrills, and great characters!! THE ROCK HOLE is an usual combination of old time Texas humor and chilling thriller. The year is 1964, and these small communities are mostly segregated by white, black, and American Indians. Ned Parker is the white Constable, who is married to an Indian; best friends with the Black Deputy Sheriff, John Washington; uncle to Cody, a brave Vietnam war veteran; and forever friend of an old codger, Judge O. C.Rains.

Street kids are disappearing, but how do you report that to the police when, from their standpoint, the missing people didn't exist to begin with? Hustle is certain that something bad has happened to his friend Jinx, and the only person he can turn to for help is private investigator Shaye Archer. Because Hustle helped the young PI while she was investigating her first case, Shaye has already formed an opinion as to his character and believes he's telling the truth. As she digs deeper into Jinx's disappearance, she discovers that Hustle's friend isn't the only one missing. As a frightening pattern emerges, Shaye wonders if she can find the missing kids...before it's too late. Members Reviews: Better then the first! EXCELLENT SERIES!! This is book two in the Shaye Archer series. I am so impressed with this series. I've never heard of Jana DeLeon before and after reading a review by Wayne for her previous book I know I would not be interested in her other books. I also know my next two book purchases will be #3 & 4 in this series. In this book street kids are disappearing with no clues about what has happened to them. The protagonist (Shaye Archer) is approached by a teenage boy she met in book one. One of his friends is missing and no one seems to care but him. When a boy from a prominent family goes missing every one cares. This author is great at deception and leads the reader down an obvious path through 3/4 of the book then springs a twist on that throws you for a loop. This series has everything going for it, but mainly it has that taught suspense that will keep you from putting the book down. The ending of this book left me gape jawed- absolutely Fantastic! If you purchase this book on kindle for $5.99 the Audible version is only an additional $1.99. Julie McKay does an excellent job narrating. So far this series is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. If you found this review helpful please indicate so. Thank You. Outstanding novel in a great series! Sinister is Book 2 in the private investigator Shaye Archer series. If you are familiar with other Jana DeLeon series like the romance mystery Ghost-in-Law series or the fantasy romance Mystere Parish series or the cozy paranormal mystery The Happily Everlasting Series or even the wildly successful cozy mystery Miss Fortune Mysteries series, forget about them because the Shaye Archer series novels are serious suspense, and rather dark, mystery/thrillers. In Sinister the street (homeless) kid nicknamed Hustle is back fro his appearance in Malevolent and is now trying to find his friend and fellow street kid nicknamed Jinx who is missing. Shaye Archer takes his case and finds that other street kids are also missing; there is a pattern. The suspense is intense and the action is constant in this fast paced novel. Having earlier read the paperback versions of some of Ms. DeLeon's books in her other series I would never have purchased books in the Shaye Archer series had Audible listener Shelley not reviewed Malevolent (Book 1 in the series) so positively. Sinister very, very easily meets my criteria for a 5 star rating; it is superb and it is also superbly narrated. Shaye Archer has a fascinating life story and is a wonderfully empathetic protagonist character.

Diabolical Audiobook by Jana DeLeon

Title: Diabolical Author: Jana DeLeon Narrator: Julie McKay Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 45 mins Language: English Release date: 11-28-17 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 90 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Modern Detective Publisher's Summary: From New York Times best-selling author Jana DeLeon, the third book in the Shaye Archer thriller series. Nine years ago, the police found Shaye Archer wandering in the French Quarter, beaten and abused and with no memory of the previous 15 years, not even her name. Now, at 24, Shaye is a licensed private investigator, determined to get answers for her clients when the police can't help. But her last case uncovered more than anyone anticipated, and pieces of Shaye's missing past have surfaced with unexpected consequences. She's starting to remember. Will Shaye unlock the secrets buried deep in her mind? And more importantly, can she handle the truth if she does? Members Reviews: Archer family secrets and revelations... Book three in this series has some revelations for Shaye Archer. The book begins in 1938 with a satanic ritual, it then picks up where the last book left off. I would recommend these books be read/listened to in order. Each ends with a cliff hanger and the next picks up from that point. So, the last ended with a suspect dead and written records showing where he had been trafficking kids for over 20 years. The files are coded but the police are able to decode some of the earlier paperwork that have simpler coding and find information pertaining to the sale of Shaye and the payment to her mother (who recently died from a drug overdose). They also find information showing that the man who purchased Shaye recently purchased another young girl. This book is a journey for Shaye to discover and confront her demons and hopefully rescue another young girl from the same fate. Another thriller that I HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Julie McKay does an outstanding job narrating. I think she gets better with each book! If you found this review helpful please indicate so. Thank You. Well, that ending was a huge surprise! The novels in the Shaye Archer series should be read in order. I've made comments in my reviews of the prior 2 novels in the series that it is not typical Jana DeLeon stuff; it is much better. Excellent reviews have already been written by Audible listeners Shelley and Yvonne so I'm going to make mine short. The story and the narration are both outstanding. If you like suspense mysteries the Shaye Archer series is highly recommended. The past always haunts the future Shaye remembers and even she is surprised! Jana DeLeon did an excellent job writing the backstory of Shayes torturer. It began and ended with the New Orleans voodoo and the sins of the father. Deuteronomy 24:16 Fathers shall not be put to death because of their children, nor shall children be put to death because of their fathers. Each one shall be put to death for his own sin. The theme of child abuse is still central to the story. The suspense is powerful because another child has been taken. All our characters are on emotional overload empathizing with Shaye and scared for the current victim. Shayes psychological trauma was mirrored in the struggles of the characters of each story. In Malevolent, Shaye to relate to Emma Fredericks feeling of being stalked. In Sinister, she knew how Jinx felt being captured, tortured, and alone. In Diabolical, her story is being duplicated by the current child abduction. Jana takes our feelings up and down as she gives Shaye a clue and then leads her to a dead end. The killer appears omnipotent empowered by the One and True God. He seems to be everywhere.

Sixth Grave on the Edge Audiobook by Darynda Jones

Sometimes we just snuggle. (Bumper Sticker) Most girls might think twice before getting engaged to someone like Reyes Farrow - but Charley Davidson is not most girls. Shes a paranormal private eye and grim-reaper-in-training whos known to be a bit of a hell-raiser, especially after a few shots of caffeine. Her beloved Reyes may be the only begotten son of evil, but hes dark and sultry and deeply sexy and everything Charley could hope for. Really. But when the FBI file on Reyes childhood happens to land into her lap, she cant help herself: She opens it...and then the real fun begins. First, Charley finds a naked corpse riding shotgun in her car. Then, a man loses his soul in a card game. Throw in a deaf boy who sees dead people, a woman running from mobsters, and a very suspicious Reyes, and things cant get any worse for Charley. Unless, of course, the 12 Beasts of Hell are unleashed. Members Reviews: This book could change EVERYTHING! I held off on the fifth book for the sole purpose of evading the cliffhanger, yet here I am experiencing exactly what I wanted to avoida horrible hangover thats going to last five months. Ok, so I know its bad form to start a review off by talking about the ending, but holy geez how can I not? I mean the series just completely changed directions because of one revelation! I always feel like Darynda Jones leaves readers with more questions than answers, and thats the case yet again with SIXTH GRAVE ON THE EDGE. As usual, this installment is packed with so many plot threads that trying to figure out how Lorelei King managed to cover them all in under 10 hours just might make your head explode. Its been a while since Ive mentioned the entertaining quotes this author uses at the beginning of each chapter, so its definitely worth repeating. Jones also takes it a step further in this installment with the addition of hashtags which I LOVED! Then there were the countless references to Charleys coffee addiction that always make me feel like were sisters-from-another-mother. All of the spork jokes cracked me up too! The author also delves deeper into the powers of the reaper, and if you thought Davidson was badass before, just wait until you learn what other tricks she has up her sleeve. And then, theres the mystery surrounding the prophesies, the daughter of light, and the twelve. Yes, we get some answers, but mostly its just more questions. Charleys got her hands full once again in this installment with a naked dead man riding shotgun in Misery, her on-going child abduction case, Reyes looming question, and then theres The Dealer. Ooh, and of course lets not forget that Angels true past comes to light, theres news on the Mr. Wong front, and in the midst of all this chaos Charley is also playing matchmaker to Cookie and Ubie. Needless to say, life as the Grim Reaper is never dull! But, leave it to Reyes Farrow to totally eclipse the entire action packed story line with his hot self. I love how far his and Davidsons relationship has come through the course of this series, and I think the ending of this book will be a step in the right direction for them, even though the world might not agree. When it comes to audiobooks I consider myself somewhat of a slow listener, but I had no problems finishing SIXTH GRAVE ON THE EDGE in a day thanks to Lorelei Kings exquisite narration.

You're his next victim. When the tortured body of a young woman is found in a dumpster, her eyes swollen shut and her clothes soaked with blood, detective Erika Foster is one of the first at the crime scene. The trouble is, this time it's not her case. While she fights to secure her place on the investigation team, Erika can't help but get involved and quickly finds a link to the unsolved murder of a woman four months earlier. Dumped in a similar location, both women have identical wounds - a fatal incision to the femoral artery. Stalking his victims online, the killer is preying on young pretty women using a fake identity. How will Erika catch a murderer who doesn't seem to exist? Then another girl is abducted while waiting for a date. Erika and her team must get to her before she becomes another dead victim and come face to face with a terrifyingly sadistic individual. Gripping, tense, and impossible to turn off, Last Breath will have you on the edge of your seat until the final dramatic moment. Members Reviews: Erika Foster series is a must for procedural fans Bryndza's Foster series is sharp, witty, clever and extremely entertaining. Foster is a self confessed "b___h. She is smart, indescreet, impulsive and demanding. She is constantly at odds with her peers and her superiors. And most of all she is a brilliant detective. The same can be said for Department Q's Carl Mork. So if you love Department Q you will love the Foster series. Top notch police procedural The combination of Bryndza's masterful craftsmanship and Cramer's brilliant performance once again creates a story you just can't stop listening to. I'm already eager for the next. Another great addition Robert Bryndza has written another great addition to the Erika Foster series. Jan Cramer did a wonderful job of bringing the characters to life. With plenty of twists, turns and thrills this is a great mystery:thriller. I highly recommend this book and series. Although this book could be read as a standalone, I suggest starting with The Girl in the Ice, as this is the first in the series. Tense and nail-biting addition to series As an Audible newbie last summer I became hooked on Bryndza's series. I snapped up the first when it appeared on Recommendations and can highly recommend Last Breath. Jan Cramer's narration is excellent and is as "atmospheric" as the story. Love Erika Foster Not as good as the first 3, especially when I was impatiently waiting...but good enough to want another. My favorite female sleuths: Erika Foster, Tracy Crossehite, Elise Sandburg, and Kim Stone. Need more stories!!!

Dance of Death Audiobook by Douglas Preston, Lincoln Child

Title: Dance of Death Subtitle: Pendergast, Book 6 Author: Douglas Preston, Lincoln Child Narrator: Scott Brick Format: Unabridged Length: 16 hrs and 50 mins Language: English Release date: 10-23-12 Publisher: Hachette Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 2039 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Modern Detective Publisher's Summary: Two brothers. One, top FBI Agent Aloysius Pendergast. The other, Diogenes, a brilliant and twisted criminal. An undying hatred between them. Now, a perfect crime. And the ultimate challenge: Stop me if you can. Members Reviews: Getting to know Pendergast If you could sum up Dance of Death in three words, what would they be? Suspenseful, original, satisfying What was one of the most memorable moments of Dance of Death? I don't want to give away any of the terrific story line, but the reader really gets to know some of Pendergast's history and mysteries. Have you listened to any of Scott Bricks other performances before? How does this one compare? Oh yes, Ive listened to numerous book narrated by Scott Brick. I enjoy his style and his representation of Pendergast. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? I couldn't put it down Any additional comments? This one came with a short story ' Extraction' that focused on something that was alluded to in 'Dance of Death'. While listening to many of the Pendergas books the reader is tantalized by an incident referred to in Pendergast and his brother's history. 'Extraction' is an amazing, imaginative clarifying story that gives the reader a satisfying understanding of what happened when the boys were young. I have always wanted to know more about the true origin of the hate that Diogenes has for Pendergas. This delivers.... Excellent story! I've been listening to all of the Pendergast series, at least those that Audible have, in order. I must say that this was my favorite so far! Preston and Child are maturing as writers and this book is outstanding! I could not stop listening! There is a very apparent similarity to Doyle's Sherlock Holmes series. There is our main hero, with many of the same characteristics of Holmes: intelligence, being misunderstood (due to his lack of communication), loyalty, his own brand of justice, sacrifice, kind of larger than life.. And we have Watson (though, our side-kick here is more competent).. Now, we're introduced to the story's arch-villian: "the most dangerous man in the world." More characters parallel.. but, are so much more human and vivid! We can identify with the characters and their failings. The story and plot are terrific, but the characters and their interactions, and the thrill-ride of action makes this story stand out as one of the best! I've really enjoyed Mr. Brick as the narrator in these stories. He is even able to distinguish between 2 men with similar accents without being confusing. Perhaps, he's not as proficient with the English lady's voice, but it doesn't distract from the story. All in all, this is an excellent thrill ride from end to end and I would highly recommend it to any wanting a great detective-pursuing-the-bad-guy type of book! Best of the series. If you must choose one in this series, choose this one. Preston and Child have really hit their stride by this novel. Characters are well-developed, they have mastered the art of foreshadowing, and the narrator is pitch-perfect. I've almost forgotten I listened to him read Atlas Shrugged (skip that one). Of course, at the end, you'll want to rush into the next one, but it's a delicious temptation you will want to give into.

Find a failure-to-appear and collect big bucks: top score. How shell pull it all off: top secret. Trenton, New Jerseys favorite used-car dealer, Jimmy Poletti, was caught selling a lot more than used cars out of his dealerships. Now hes out on bail and has missed his date in court, and bounty hunter Stephanie Plum is looking to bring him in. Leads are quickly turning into dead ends, and all too frequently into dead bodies. Even Joe Morelli, the citys hottest cop, is struggling to find a clue to the suspected killers whereabouts. These are desperate times, and they call for desperate measures. So Stephanie is going to have to do something she really doesnt want to do: protect former hospital security guard and general pain in her behind Randy Briggs. Briggs was picking up quick cash as Polettis bookkeeper and knows all his boss dirty secrets. Now Briggs is next on Polettis list of people to put six feet under. To top things off, Ranger - resident security expert and Stephanies greatest temptation - has been the target of an assassination plot. Hes dodged the bullet this time, but if Ranger wants to survive the next attempt on his life, hell have to enlist Stephanies help and reveal a bit more of his mysterious past. Death threats, highly trained assassins, highly untrained assassins, and Stark Street being overrun by a pack of feral Chihuahuas are all in a days work for Stephanie Plum. The real challenge is dealing with her Grandma Mazurs wild bucket list. A boob job and getting revenge on Joe Morellis Grandma Bella can barely hold a candle to whats number one on the list - but thats top secret. Members Reviews: Stagnant Stephanie - Plodding Plot - Not great We want to learn something new about Stephanie, new about Ranger or Morelli. Yikes, the characters have turned into caricatures. I won't even bother to discuss the plot opening because you can pick any of the last 10 books, change the character names, pick a pedestrian crime of interest and viola you have this plot - yawn. Evanovich spiced up the language in this book a bit which was okay and Lorelei Kind did a good job as usual doing Stephanie. But we HAVE to see some forward motion in this series. Wow, now I am interested how long she can keep this series going without conflict or content. Do something Evanovich; give Morelli a love interest that threatens Stephanie and has Step do something; bring Ranger and Morelli to blows; have Stephanie move in with Ranger just to get him out of her system -- anything to stop the boredom. At this point, this series is car wreck -- you can't look away. Only listen if you must; otherwise pass. By the way, the movie "One for the Money" didn't help. Stephanie Bombs -- Lorelei Rocks Did Top Secret Twenty-One inspire you to do anything? Top Secret Twenty-One inspired me to stop reading/listening to the Stephanie Plum series. I won't, though. I'll keep reading it until it finishes dying a slow, painful death. Any additional comments? You can tell that Lorelei King is getting just as bored as the rest of us. But, just as we keep coming back for more, King keeps taking that practically guaranteed Plum paycheck every year. Of course, Lorelei King is STILL great at her job.

The Fend 100 will bring a new dawn of commercial flying to the world. One where human pilots are replaced by AI machines that will navigate over 100,000 flights per day. The first flight is a celebratory spectacle - the Fend headquarters crowded with news teams, technology lovers, and aviation enthusiasts. The atmosphere is jovial, and everyone is eager to celebrate. Until something goes terribly wrong. The Fend 100 suddenly begins an uncommanded descent over the Atlantic, and neither the engineers on the ground nor the test pilots aboard can override the controls.... But who is responsible? Is it the wealthy ex-KGB agent, Pavel Morozov, who has shown up from a past Charles had long-forgotten? Or was it Charles' son, Max - on the run from the FBI after he was accused of sending Fend Aerospace corporate secrets to a criminal enterprise? And just who is Max Fend? Is he the man that the media makes him out to be - the wild playboy son of an aerospace tycoon? Or is he what the FBI suspects - an international criminal, mixed up in a Russian espionage game? And why is there a top secret personnel file on him that even his FBI investigator isn't allowed to see? Glidepath is a race to uncover the truth, before it comes crashing down from above.... Members Reviews: What looked to be a good book absolutely RUINED... What looked to be a good book absolutely RUINED by what has to be the WORST narrator I've ever heard. I couldn't make it past the second chapter of the audio book. Hideous over amplification of emotion and voice. Absolutely awful Boring read What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you? Better narration What could Andrew Watts have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you? The main character was to narcissistic and vane Would you be willing to try another one of Michael Pauleys performances? Not at this time If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Glidepath? Need a new story line period Any additional comments? Weak story and plot Worthwhile espionage suspense thriller! I enjoyed this novel. The average Audible rating is 4.0 stars (vs. 4.4 at Amazon and 4.1 at Goodreads), but the three Audible reviews average 1.3 stars. When the second book in the series is released I will purchase and listen to it. Simple Not a fan of simple and vapid writing. In a word - stupid. Billed as a mystery, the only mystery was why this was written.

Can Anna face her fears and confront him before another girl dies? A thriller that will leave you wanting more. If you love Val McDermid, Angela Marsons, and M. J. Arlidge, youll love The Silent Girls. Members Reviews: Smart, savvy suspense The Silent Girls by Dylan Young is a very, very good audiobook. The intricately woven plot provides an excellent and suspenseful crime thriller that keeps its edge until the last pages. I connected with the main characters on our protagonist team, tasked with cleaning up an old cold-case mystery while monitoring a new one that appears connected to stave off mistakes made in the earlier case that sent an apparently innocent man to prison- or is he innocent? This is one of those rare books that grabbed me from the first chapter and had me riveted. It is smart, savvy and extremely well-written, with keen attention to detail and a grittiness typically seen only in the most admirable suspense thrillers. This is one to admire and one to pick up right away, in my opinion. Tamsin Kennards narration was a pleasure to listen to, and this American listener thought her accents were ace. An easy five stars for The Silent Girls.

Title: Still Life with Crows Subtitle: A Novel Author: Douglas Preston, Lincoln Child Narrator: Scott Brick Format: Unabridged Length: 16 hrs Language: English Release date: 07-05-11 Publisher: Hachette Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 3547 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Modern Detective Publisher's Summary: For the first time in unabridged audio! A small Kansas town has turned into a killing ground. Is it a serial killer, a man with the need to destroy? Or is it a darker force, a curse upon the land? Amid golden cornfields, FBI Special Agent Pendergast discovers evil in the blood of America's heart. Critic Reviews: "As usual, Preston and Child deftly mix the real and the surreal, creating an atmosphere in which everything, for reasons we can't quite nail down, seems a tad off-kilter. Call it creeping paranoia, perhaps, or the dreadful certainty that something awful is about to happen. Whatever you call it, it's a recipe for success." (Booklist) Members Reviews: SCARY, WEIRD, ENGAGING Preston & Child know how to push my "creepy" buttons. Very good. I would choose a different narrator. Narrator David Colacci did a much better job in "The Relic" - the first Pendergast novel. Not their best, not even in the top five I wasn't very impressed with this one. Their books are starting to get a bit formulaic. It's like Scooby Doo: start the book with some intrigue and a hint that something paranormal is happening, then the good guys catch the bad guy and they realize the prosaic, pseudoscientific reality. A bit bland overall. Much more depth in the supporting characters. I've been listening to the Pendergast books in order and except for the second one they've gotten better and better. It's hard to say for sure how much better the story is because the narration on this book is so much better than the last two. But, what really made this one stand out form the earlier books is the depth of the characters. In previous novels I've been frustrated by the simple, stupid, bureaucratic top cop concept. In this book there are officers that do some not brilliant things but they aren't just motivated by glory or covering their own asses as in previous novels. The interactions feel more true to life and the storyline itself, while slightly gory, keeps you trying to figure out what's going on. The setting is also unique in this book. Overall it was just much easier to get my head into it and it kept my attention throughout. I will be listening to the next book in the series. Great escape Still Life With Crows by Preston & Child WI/NWI-4 An old story well-told is always worth listening to again. The setting of the book, taking you into the corn, and the flawless and entertaining performance make this book definitely WI--worth it! Plot-2 The plot of the book has been used a lot before, even from these authors themselves! It is predictable, and when the big "reveals" came up, I had known what was going to happen almost from the beginning. Characterization-4 There were a lot of characters so it can be hard to remember the guy who just got eaten, but the main ones were developed well. Their super hero FBI agent was great, the sheriff is the small town hero and well done, and they have a character arc in the young girl who found herself. There is a bad guy and a monster. Gr8! Violence-5 Huge, amazing, constant violence. Don't leave home without it. Grossness-5 This is the main feature of this book.

W Is for Wasted Audiobook by Sue Grafton

Title: W Is for Wasted Subtitle: A Kinsey Millhone Mystery Author: Sue Grafton Narrator: Judy Kaye Format: Unabridged Length: 17 hrs and 13 mins Language: English Release date: 09-10-13 Publisher: Random House Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 2599 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Modern Detective Publisher's Summary: Of the #1 New York Times best-selling Kinsey Millhone series, NPR said, "Makes me wish there were more than 26 letters." Two dead bodies changed the course of my life that fall. One of them I knew and the other I'd never laid eyes on until I saw him in the morgue. The first was a local PI of suspect reputation. He'd been gunned down near the beach at Santa Teresa. It looked like a robbery gone bad. The other was on the beach six weeks later. He'd been sleeping rough. Probably homeless. No identification. A slip of paper with Millhone's name and number was in his pants pocket. The coroner asked her to come to the morgue to see if she could ID him. Two seemingly unrelated deaths, one a murder, the other apparently of natural causes. But as Kinsey digs deeper into the mystery of the John Doe, some very strange linkages begin to emerge. And before long at least one aspect is solved as Kinsey literally finds the key to his identity. "And just like that," she says, "the lid to Pandora's box flew open. It would take me another day before I understood how many imps had been freed, but for the moment, I was inordinately pleased with myself." In this multilayered tale, the surfaces seem clear, but the underpinnings are full of betrayals, misunderstandings, and outright murderous fraud. And Kinsey, through no fault of her own, is thoroughly compromised. W is forwandererworthlesswronged. W is for wasted. Members Reviews: Well worth waiting for.... No need for a plot summary here -- those of us who love Kinsey really don't care about the specifics of what she's gotten herself mixed up in this time. We'll go along for the ride, whatever it is. Suffice it to say that in this 23rd installment, Sue Grafton found yet another unique story line, plowed untilled storylines once again, and turned out a ridiculously good book. I just finished listening, still wiping away tears from one of the finest eulogies I've ever heard, this one honoring a man of courage and intelligence, but one who also happened to be homeless, one of those rascally urban dwellers must of us would prefer not to see at all. Many of the main characters in this book were homeless -- some of them obnoxious, some physically or mentally ill, others just down on their luck. What made Grafton's tale unique is the respect she showed them all -- not pious or groveling, not pity, not laden with "it wasn't their fault" excuses, but rather with the simple acknowledgement that they exist, they live among us, that they are, in many ways, no different from the rest of us, and are therefore deserving of respect. I greatly appreciated that straightforward treatment. A lesser writer would have turned this plot into a screed against these undesirables for weakness in succumbing to their various addictions, or alternatively into a diatribe against "the rich" who allegedly bear responsibility for the situation. Grafton did neither. She just told a story, without having Kinsey render up any judgments at all, let alone claiming to understand any of their personal situations, and certainly not offering any solution to the whole issue of the "homeless", whatever it might be. In fact, when one character launches into a divisive rant, Kinsey stops him immediately.

Twelve of the deadliest beasts ever forged in the fires of hell have escaped onto our plane, and they want nothing more than to rip out the jugular of Charley Davidson and serve her lifeless, mangled body to Satan for dinner. So there's that. But Charley has more on her plate than a mob of testy hellhounds. For one thing, her father has disappeared, and the more she retraces his last steps, the more she learns he was conducting an investigation of his own, one that has Charley questioning everything she's ever known about him. Add to that an ex-BFF who is haunting her night and day, a rash of suicides that has authorities baffled, and a drop-dead sexy fiancé who has attracted the attentions of a local celebrity, and Charley is not having the best week of her life. But all of that combined barely scratches the surface of her problems. Recent developments - and a few distressing prophesies - have forced her to become a responsible adult. Exactly the kind of adult she's never aspired to be. To conquer such a monumental task, she's decided to start small. Really small. She gets a pet. But how can she save the world against the forces of evil when she cant even keep a goldfish alive? A tad north of hell, a hop, skip, and a jump past the realm of eternity, is a little place called Earth, and Charley Davidson, grim reaper extraordinaire, is determined to do everything in her power to protect it. We're doomed. Members Reviews: Sarcasm at its finest. Another funny book to add to the Charlie Davidson's collection. I do love Charlie but sometimes she does the stupidest things. Of course that is part of her charm. She cracks me up with her antics and sarcasm even while you roll your eyes at her. We get to see all the old gang again which is great, love them all. By now if you have been listening to this series you know you like it so if you haven't gotten it yet, what are you waiting for? Narrator is awesome as usual and has the perfect pitch for all the characters. Funny As Always! Love this series and all the characters. Its always good, never a bad or an ok addition to this series. Darynda Jones is a fantastic writer, and Charlie is one of my favourite characters in all the books i read. So so so many things ... you start with a small small thing like a goldfish and there is something as big as a ....... well, i can't say, you need to read this book. But you really get to know how powerful Charlie is.... Charlie... if you are reading this, mmmmm... call me, got few requests can't wait for the next book. Best T-Shirt Lines Ever Great series - the story line is interesting and the characters (I love Cookie) not only have some depth but they are hysterical. It is a great distraction read and the chapter headings with their pithy t-shirt and bumper sticker quotes always make my day. ONE OF THE BEST BOOK SERIES OUT THERE. If you love Jeaniene Frost or Kresely Cole's book series you HAVE to give this series a try. Each book has different adventures that your favorite characters go on so one never gets bored and each book is better than the last. The author has developed a fun and amazing character in Charley Davidson that you won't be able to get enough of. Laughter, romance, and supernatural beings, what more can you ask for. One of my favorite series! I agree with all the glowing reviews of this wonderful series.

But it might be time to forge her own path... Some kids inherit a family business; Jo Ward inherited a badge. Once voted Most Likely to End Up in Jail, the town wild child has become sheriff - hell-bent on uncovering the truth about her father's mysterious death. Life is quiet in rustic River Bend, but Jo longs for something beyond her small hometown and the painful memories it holds. All that keeps her sane is the support of her best friends, Melanie and Zoe. But when Jo signs up for an expert law enforcement training seminar, she meets Gill Clausen, whose haunting eyes and dangerously sexy vibe just may challenge her single-minded focus. Commitment-phobic Jo can't deny her attraction to the arrogant federal agent, and when odd things start happening around River Bend and danger surrounds her, she realizes she'll need his help to discover who's out to remove her from River Bend...permanently. As Jo and Gill work together, it's clear they make a great team. But can Jo loosen her grip on the past enough to let love in and reach for the future? Members Reviews: Frosting on the cake This was an outstanding ending to a delightful series. Jo and Gil are a cute couple, that fit in perfectly with the other couples. I love all three books but find this one to be my favorite. It is always a pleasure to revisit other characters in a series. Although one could read these out of order I personally recommend they be read in order. I for one would love to see another book with all three couples later in life and with children of their own. Catherine Bybee is an excellent author. Throw in Cristina Panfilio and you have one delightful audio book. SD WOW WOW WOW!!! Beautifully written. Couldn't put it down until the very last page. FABULOUS!!!! Loved this series! I just finished the this book which is the third and last one in the series. I love this author. She is one of my new favorites. I also happen to love the narrator. Great series! Each book had its own story yet created a lovely connection between three best friends and a town named Riverbend. Excellent Series! Loved narrator and all characters. Wonderful storyline and great twist in story. You must listen to or read series. Great series, fast read, loved it! Another great series by Catherine Bybee! Make sure you start with book one in the series as the characters all come together and you get to know them throughout the series. Highly recommend! Quick , fun and awesome! just like all of Catherine's books! She's amazing....def check out her other books!!!

Kisscut Audiobook by Karin Slaughter

Title: Kisscut Author: Karin Slaughter Narrator: Kathleen Early Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 43 mins Language: English Release date: 02-10-15 Publisher: HarperAudio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 1398 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Modern Detective Publisher's Summary: Gillian Flynn says, "Karin Slaughter is simply one of the best thriller writers working today." Saturday night dates at the skating rink have been a tradition in the small southern town of Heartsdale for as long as anyone can remember, but when a teenage quarrel explodes into a deadly shoot-out, Sara Linton - the town's pediatrician and medical examiner - finds herself entangled in a terrible tragedy. What seemed at first to be a horrific but individual catastrophe proves to have wider implications. 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... Members Reviews: Thrilling and Disturbing Hard to believe sickening crimes like this happen every day. I stayed up all night to finish it. I definitely recommend the Grant County series to graffic crime enthusiasts. I will definitely keep adding to my Karin Slaughter library. The narrator did a great job, as usual. Especially the hospital scene where Lena goes into detail about what horrors happened to her in the last book (read the full series in order!). Karin Slaughter is terrific I have read 4 of Karin's books and love each one; Kisscut is no exception. The story held my attention from beginning to end; its suspense made me keep sneaking in a few minutes while in the car, shopping, cooking dinner, every chance I got. I also thought Kathleen Early was excellent. She portrayed the various characters with skill and acting prowess. I am so looking forward to my next listen of Karin's work from my wish list. I couldn't stop listening. Disturbing content yet tastefully written. Even if I only had 5min I had to listen. Very good This was a really good book. I gave it four stars because the ending was just okay. The narrator was so good. Definitely one of the better narrators that I've heard. Really using a cliche I like her writing but I find it too cliche to make someone who "acts" like someone who believes in God to be a bad guy. I realize there were several "bad guys" but stop using cliche I find the Will Trent series by Karin much better

A force to be reckoned with... During missions as a CIA assassin, Fortune Redding saw and overcame most every obstacle, but Sinful, Louisiana, keeps producing new challenges for her. When a hurricane blows through, it brings a shower of counterfeit money raining down on the tiny bayou town. When the money is linked back to Ahmad, the arms dealer who issued the kill order on Fortune, everyone is worried that her nemesis is far too close for comfort. When Ahmad's men turn up in Sinful, the situation becomes life-and-death for Fortune, Ida Belle, and Gertie, and Deputy Carter LeBlanc learns Fortune's true identity. As Swamp Team 3 rushes to locate the counterfeiter, Fortune hopes to take down Ahmad and free herself from her fake life. But will her relationship with Carter make it now that he knows the truth? Members Reviews: Ready for TV Dana DeLeon's Gerty, Idabelle and Miss Fortune are perfect for a 2 hour TV movie maybe twice a year. They would certainly have a following once the first one is viewed. I don't often laugh out loud when listening to audible books, but I do with DeLeon's books and so does my wife. More! More! More! What made the experience of listening to Hurricane Force the most enjoyable? Everything is so well written and the narration top notch. I can easily picture all the action! What was one of the most memorable moments of Hurricane Force? Gurdy in the bathroom at the sheriff's office!! Have you listened to any of Cassandra Campbells other performances before? How does this one compare? Only in this series, she does a great job. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Heck ya! Couldn't stop listening if I was on fire Any additional comments? Only that I hope there are many more In this series and they come out fast I can't wait to hear what happens next. Back to 4 stars The last couple of books in the series have been pretty ho-hum. Same old thing and antics. Although this one doesn't deviate from the pattern of mayhem and "investigation," finally there is some evolvement in the CIA plot. I appreicate that some truth comes out and now the characters can further develop. Series I really enjoyed this series! The interaction between Fortune, Ida Belle, & Gertie is hysterical! It's never boring that's for sure. I am sad that it's over.. Heard there's another book coming this Summer. Can't wait! Love this series! Jana DeLeon, I have enjoyed this series so much! Cassandra Campbell does an excellent job narrating. She brings the characters to life. I will be sad to read the last book coming up. I would love to read on and on...

Robb Narrator: Susan Ericksen Format: Unabridged Length: 13 hrs and 13 mins Language: English Release date: 09-09-14 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 3264 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Modern Detective Publisher's Summary: Eve Dallas deals with a homicide - and the holiday season - in the latest from the #1New York Times bestselling author. Personal trainer Trey Ziegler was in peak physical condition. If you didn't count the kitchen knife in his well-toned chest. Lieutenant Eve Dallas soon discovers a lineup of women who'd been loved and left by the narcissistic gym rat. While Dallas sorts through the list of Ziegler's enemies, she's also dealing with her Christmas shopping list - plus the guest list for her and her billionaire husband's upcoming holiday bash. Feeling less than festive, Dallas tries to put aside her distaste for the victim and solve the mystery of his death. There are just a few investigating days left before Christmas, and as New Year's 2061 approaches, this homicide cop is resolved to stop a cold-blooded killer. Members Reviews: A Feast for In Death devotees Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? This book should not be missed by In Death fans. For a new In Death reader I would suggest starting somewhere else in the series, preferably Naked in Death Book 1. This book is a blend of the search for a murderer of a sleazy personal trainer and the vagaries of Eve and Roarke's Christmas which is more appreciated by those who follow the series. Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How? I devour In Death books. I am always anxious for the next scene, the next chapter. This was no different. What about Susan Ericksens performance did you like? Susan Ericksen is Eve Dallas. With the exception of 2 earlier books, every preformance (and there are over 40 stories and multiple recurring characters) imparts a distinct personality to every character. I could not imagine anyone else reading these books. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? Feeney's Christmas present for both Eve and Roarke. And Christmas Comes Once More Christmas doesn't come around very often in the mid-21st century world of the In Death books--it takes at about 10 books to make a year in this long-running series--but when it arrives, it's always a treat. "Festive In Death" is no exception. This is an interesting mystery and there are a lot of suspects to interview, so Eve and Peabody get some good grilling time in. But as longtime followers know, the real joy is hearing How Dallas Got Her Christmas Shopping Done, and the description of The Christmas Event at the Roarke mansion--a mere 250 guests, plus spa time with Terrifying Trina and the yummy Leonardo gown that Eve grudgingly slinks into (would that we all had the body to carry off a Leonardo!). The icing on the cake is Christmas Eve with the family. Summerset and Galahad make appearances, but it's Eve and Roarke's scene. Their gift exchange had me both laughing and reaching for the tissue box. It's why this series just keeps going and going, and we fans keep reading and reading. Here's to lots more holidays to come! Enjoyed I enjoyed this book. Oh it was not up to J.D. Robb standards, but I still enjoyed the book. I am not sure I like the new doctor that is trying to date Morris. I guess it's good there are new characters involved. But it's such a tight knit group you hate to see anyone bother the balance. I was glad most of the regulars were there. I thoroughly enjoyed that. I enjoy the banter between Sommerset and Eve.

Robb Narrator: Susan Ericksen Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 52 mins Language: English Release date: 02-26-13 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 3095 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Modern Detective Publisher's Summary: On Manhattans Upper East Side, a woman lies dead at the bottom of a brownstones basement steps, stripped of all her valuables. Most cops might call it a mugging gone wrong, but Lieutenant Eve Dallas knows better. A well-off accountant and a beloved wife and mother, Marta Dickenson doesnt seem the type to be on anyones hit list. But when Eve and her partner, Peabody, find blood inside the brownstone, she knows Martas murder is the work of a killer whos trained, yet not professional or smart enough to remove all the evidence. Eve learns that on the day of her murder Marta was assigned to work on three audits, and begins to suspect that she was killed to cover up fraudulent activity. Eve is good at catching criminals, not crunching numbers, but luckily, she has her billionaire husband, Roarke, to figure out which companies in Martas files arent on the up-and-up. When someone steals the files from Martas office, Eve must immerse herself in Roarkes world of big business to figure out whos cruel and callous enough to hire a hit on an innocent woman. And as the killers violent streak starts to escalate, Eve knows she has to draw him out, even if it means using herself as bait.... Members Reviews: Still a fan! I think it must be hard to keep things fresh after writing 36+ books, short stories and so on. Roberts has a good equation going in the In Death series- a crime happens, Eve and Peabody investigate, Roarke is drawn into the investigation, there are a few sex scenes, Roarke worries about Eve, Eve meets with Mira, they figure it out, wrap it up and there is an op to catch the bad guy. And Trina sometimes makes an appearance. The crime changes and the supporting characters (Mavis, Leonardo, Baxter and so on) have a big or small role depending on the crime and how much they can help. She writes a good story, the characters are old friends and well written. The story here is a solid one. I will continue to read this series because I can count on Eve and crew to entertain. Love that Dallas! I was so blown away by New York to Dallas it almost spoiled me. I did not think Celebrity in Death was nearly as good. But Calculated in Death is better. I could have used a little more Sommerset as I love the interaction between them but all Eve and Roarke fans will enjoy this book. Loved it! Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Yes! I love this series. This book was great and in line with the series. Always something new and I did not expect the exact ending, although it is getting a little "similar" at times to older novels in the series - still love the characters. Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How? Yes....as I did not know who did it and how intricate it was until the end. What does Susan Ericksen bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? She is PHENOMENAL! Her accents are great. She really has a defined voice for all of the main characters that allows me to see them in my head. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? No .... Any additional comments? Great book. Good, but below par for this series If you could sum up Calculated in Death in three words, what would they be? Confusing. Frustrating.

A mysterious shipwreck. A murder in the desolate salt marshes. A seemingly straightforward private case turns out to be much more complicated - and sinister - than Special Agent A. X. L. Pendergast ever could have anticipated. Pendergast, together with his ward, Constance Greene, travels to the quaint seaside village of Exmouth, Massachusetts, to investigate the theft of a priceless wine collection. But inside the wine cellar, they find something considerably more disturbing: a bricked-up niche that once held a crumbling skeleton. Pendergast and Constance soon learn that Exmouth is a town with a very dark and troubled history, and this skeleton may be only the first hint of an ancient transgression kept secret all these years. But they will discover that the sins of the past are still very much alive. Local legend holds that during the 1692 witch trials in Salem, the real witches escaped, fleeing north to Exmouth and settling deep in the surrounding salt marshes, where they continued to practice their wicked arts. Then a murdered corpse turns up in the marshes. The only clue is a series of mysterious carvings. Could these demonic symbols bear some relation to the ancient witches' colony, long believed to be abandoned? A terrible evil lurks beneath the surface of this sleepy seaside town - one with deep roots in Exmouth's grim history. And it may be that Constance, with her own troubled past, is the only one who truly comprehends the awful danger that she, Pendergast, and the residents of Exmouth must face.... Members Reviews: They Jumped the Shark! I have loved the Pendergast saga and read every story. This one was as good as the others, up to a point. When Constance left the Inn, the story left the tracks. I listened, but it was as if someone other than Preston and Child took over. What on earth were they thinking? As usual, the narration by Mr. Auberjonois was flawless. Something's off I've been a longtime fan of this series, and I'd swear someone else wrote this. Pendergast and Constance have gone from a sophisticated pair to unbearable snobs. I'm not even all the way through the book yet and now there's hints of romance starting, that seems totally out of place. Suspense is lacking as well. I just don't know what to think. Please bring back the real Pendergast! What's going on? Eat it up with a Spoon - Fantastic A. X. L. Pendergast is back in a big way. This next installment starts off with a innocuous crime (wine theft) to be investigated. As always the story-line opens into a much wider, deeper and dangerous yarn within the first thirty minutes of listening. Preston and Child jump right in, just like that you are caught like a hapless fly in the story's web. Not only is the story fantastic, you get to have Constance Green in the story. I had been hoping to have a story with Constance as a main contributor again. It's been quite a while, she has been languishing as supporting character for a while, but she is in here big time. Auberjonois IS the voice of Pendergast and did a fantastic job as always. His voice pulls you in and makes you believe. You see the images, feel the tensions, just what you want. Anyone who loves Sherlock types of stories will love it. You could read it standalone, but go back and read the first fourteen is my advice. In this novel, the sleuth we love and all of his mannerisms are back.

D. Robb presents the latest moving and suspenseful novel in the number-one New York Times best-selling Eve Dallas series. In a decrepit and long-empty New York building, a man begins the demolition process by swinging a sledgehammer into a wall. When the dust clears, he finds two skeletons wrapped in plastic behind it. The man is Lieutenant Eve Dallass billionaire husband, Roarke, and he summons her immediately. His latest real estate project is going to be on hold for a while, because by the time Eve and her crew are finished searching the premises, there are 12 murders to be solved. After a little digging reveals that the place housed a makeshift shelter for troubled and homeless teenagers back in the mid-2040s, Eve tracks down the people who worked there. Between their recollections and the brilliant work of the forces new forensic anthropologist, Eve begins to put names and faces to the skeletal remains. They are all girls. A tattooed tough teenager who dealt in illegal drugs. The runaway daughter of a pair of well-to-do doctors. They all had their stories. And they all lost their chance for a better life. Everyone has something to hide. And when Eve discovers a stunning connection between the victims and someone she knows, she is even more driven to reveal the secrets of the place that was called The Sanctuary - and to find the evil concealed in one human heart. Members Reviews: Okay I pre-order the Death series books because I am usually so excited I can't wait and I guess somewhere in my head ordering ahead of time I think the book will get here sooner. I am a bit disappointed again. This book was not as graphic as the last book, but it does seem a bit off. I know people complained about the formula, well the formula works for me. I love the interaction between Eve, Roarke, and the other characters. When they are not included in the book it lack some of the luster. If the love scenes between Eve and Roarke are not hot and heavy to me the book suffers. I mean I count the stuff off. I like the fact that this book was a bit calmer, but it was flat. If Nora only puts out two in death books a year, then she should be able to make them good. We wait 6mos each for a installment we expect it to be GOOD. I enjoyed the book some, it is better than most other books by others, but it STILL is NOT up to J.D. Robb In death series standards. Because the older books have been so good, the not so good ones have held up the flops. It is time Nora put this series back to what made it so great to start with. Lately, each book has me upset about something. I know it is hard to please everyone, but it seems we were mostly pleased with the older books. Sometimes when you try to change stuff you mess up. If it is not broke, don't fix it. Please please give us the answers to some of our questions, and bring back the luster, care, knick butt Lt we are all used to. The relationship between Eve and Roarke is paramount, her bantering witth sommerset, etc. Some stuff you simply can't change, just find ways to get it into the story. I don't care if it makes sense or is not realistic, it's a fiction book. I know some of us crazy folk really love these characters like they are real. You did that for us, but if you are going to keep the books up -you have to find away to make them as exciting as they used to be.

Title: Shatter Subtitle: Joseph O'Loughlin, Book 3 Author: Michael Robotham Narrator: Sean Barrett Format: Unabridged Length: 14 hrs and 5 mins Language: English Release date: 02-10-15 Publisher: Hachette Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 579 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Modern Detective Publisher's Summary: In "the most suspenseful book I read all year" (Stephen King), a psychologist faces off against a killer who destroys his victims from the inside out. Joe O'Loughlin is in familiar territory--standing on a bridge high above a flooded gorge, trying to stop a distraught woman from jumping. "You don't understand," she whispers and lets go. Joe is haunted by his failure to save the woman until her teenage daughter finds him and reveals that her mother never would have committed suicide--not like that. She was terrified of heights. What could have driven her to commit such a desperate act? Whose voice? What evil? Having devoted his career to repairing damaged minds, Joe must now confront an adversary who tears them apart. With pitch-perfect dialogue, believable characters, and astonishingly unpredictable plot twists, Shatter is guaranteed to keep even the most avid thriller readers riveted long into the night. Critic Reviews: "Pleasantly creepy...plotted with precision and narrated with real intelligence." (The New York Times Book Review) "The most suspenseful book I read all year." (Stephen King, Entertainment Weekly) Members Reviews: This is a must read! Here is another example of me giving a book I had returned a second chance. I listen several hours a day on average, often while I am doing other things. Sometimes I forget to set the apps timer at night and cannot find my place. Fortunately I gave Robothams Shatter another chance. Shatter contains possibly the most uniquely diabolical criminal acts in mysteries today. If its not unique, it is certainly the most believable and realistic version of sadistic manipulation. Regardless, like others I found the criminals methods ingenious and horrifying. The police work, including political inner workings, was as good as any procedural I have read. Most of all there is the character of Joe OGlaughlin. A 45 year old psychologist who has contracted Parkinsons, his brilliant mind is more handicapped by his insecurities about his health than the disease itself. It effects his marriage, exacerbates his paranoia and limits his objectivity. Yet its his brilliant mind and intuitive nature that wins me over here. Please forgive my grammar, I am still posting on my iPhone! How Far Would You Go? This third installment was the best yet. I was immediately hooked from the first few words. Joseph O'Loughlin has become one of my favorite characters whom I like to revisit as I listen to this series. I found myself confronted with the question of how far I would go to save someone I love. And then, would my actions save them anyway? If you like psychological thrillers, this is a must listen. The narrator is excellent and I can't wait to listen to him again. Another winner! Thanks Audible!! Robotham fan but too violent for me Too creepy too violent too morbid for me. And I am a Robotham fan. Narrator is great though. ONE OF MY FAVORITE AUTHORS This author's books give you everything. original characters, fantastic plots and excellent writing. My mind never drifts. I fall deep into the story. One request: keep them coming and use the main characters again and again. I love them The dynamic duo does it again. If you could sum up Shatter in three words, what would they be? The title fits! Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How? Yes. Every sentence propels you to the next.

Cold Moon Audiobook by Alexandra Sokoloff

Bray Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 40 mins Language: English Release date: 07-07-15 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 912 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Modern Detective Publisher's Summary: The hunt for mass murderer Cara Lindstrom is over. FBI Special Agent Matthew Roarke has been working for this moment: the capture of a killer who savagely hunts the worst of humanity. But Roarke remains traumatized by his own near-death at the hands of the serial killer who slaughtered Cara's family...and haunted by the enigmatic woman who saved his life. Then the sixteen-year-old prostitute who witnessed Cara's most recent murder goes missing, and suddenly pimps are turning up dead on the streets of San Francisco, killed with an MO eerily similar to Cara's handiwork. Is a new killer on the loose with a mission even more deadly than hers? In the pulse-pounding third Huntress/FBI Thrillers book, Roarke will have to go on the hunt...and every woman he meets, even those closest to him, may prove deadly. Members Reviews: Very talented author and narrator! All three books in this modern detective series are excellent, but I liked the second book most. The series must be read in order written. These three books in the Huntress/FBI series are my first exposure to Alexandra Sokoloff's works. She is obviously an immensely talented author. The motives and methods of Roarke, the FBI agent, and the huntress, a very empathetic female serial killer (yes, I know that is weird!), are well understood by the listener. RC Bray is best known as the narrator of science fiction novels including The Martian but also others. Whoever selected Bray to narrate this series deserves credit because he does an outstanding job. I recommend all three books in this series for those who like police thrillers or psychological thrillers. Fast pace action pack thrilling read Any additional comments? As is the normal for Ms. Sokoloff she keeps you on the edge guessing to the outcome. Just when you think you know what is going on, she turns the tides and gives you a twist. This is a very fast pace filled with suspense that will keep you on the edge of your seat. As the author takes you on a journey of teen tracking, drugs trackers and the women after them. The series has always been more about Cara Lindstrom whose whole family was killed in front of her and her revenge on all those that hurt children she calls them It. As you know if you have followed the series Cara was taken down and now in jail. The story is still about her but is more focused on Roarke his feeling about life, trackers and the teens going missing. With Cara in jail someone is out there killing pimps with the same MO she used. The why and who will surprise you. Roarke finds he cannot trust anyone even those closes to him is up for question. Cold moon is a wonderful addition to this series with the bone chilling thrills the first two in this series gives you. R.C. Bray has become one of my all time favorite male narrators with his smooth voice and his chilling tones. He always hits the emotions as he makes you feel them. I really love him as a narrator he brings so much to a story as he pulls you in with his many different voices. I do have to say some of his female voices in this one were very close together but was still a wonderful listen. He really makes you feel Cara as you see her in her calm voice but know her heart is beating double time as she takes down those she calls IT. In this book you can feel the pain for the teens and those trying to protect them.

The Killing Kind Audiobook by John Connolly

Title: The Killing Kind Subtitle: A Charlie Parker Thriller Author: John Connolly Narrator: Holter Graham Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 48 mins Language: English Release date: 12-19-17 Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 44 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Modern Detective Publisher's Summary: Irish author John Connolly delivers the third novel in his best-selling, critically acclaimed series featuring troubled ex-cop turned detective Charlie Parker. John Connolly takes battered ex-cop Charlie Parker on his third outing after Every Dead Thing and Dark Hollow. Still struggling with the horrific ghosts of his past, Parker is now a disillusioned private eye hired to investigate the circumstances surrounding the death of Grace Peltier - which neither her father nor a former US senator believes was suicide. The trail leads to a mass grave in Northern Maine where a Baptist community disappeared 40 years earlier. The deaths of the Baptists and Grace are connected and point in the direction of a shadowy organization known as the Fellowship. With the assistance of some idiosyncratic and murderous acolytes, Parker soon confronts the Fellowship's demonic leader and finds himself caught in a situation more gruesome than even he could ever have imagined. Members Reviews: Needs a different narrator I might have enjoyed this story better had it been narrated by someone else. It was so hard to care about the story (and I'm a JC fan) that I was continually thinking that our ceiling needs painting. Jeff Harding and George Guidall (previous narrators) do Charlie Parker so well. They have the gravitas to actually sound like a former cop whose wife and daughter had been brutally murdered. By comparison, Holter Graham sounds like a puppy. I imagine he'd do well narrating other books. His diction is good and his voice is (too) pleasant. Here he just sounds glib, like a candidate for Student Council president. Too bad. Another Great One Even though this is third in the series, it was just recently released in the US as an audiobook. Great story, and the narration was good. I have great affection for Louis and Angel as I have come to know them through the narration of Jeff Harding, so that was a bit of an adjustment. But I thought this narrator did a really great job with some of the other characters, unique to this book. Book Obliterated By Narrator (sic) I like Connolly's work, complex and silly as it is. But he made a HUGE mistake using Holter (?) Graham to read it. If one has prefaced this book by absorbing the preceding issues read by Jeff Harding and others with real talent at this job, one of immediately put off by the high-pitched, nasal screech of this imposter. I came to think of him as 'helium boy' and see him with a clothes pin clamped down on his proboscis. No differentiation between otherwise distinctly individual characters, misplaced emphasis, etc. etc. It was so distracting, I barely remember the plot. I think there may have been references to spiders in there somewhere. Connolly owes me $10 or so to reimburse me for this travesty. Good story! Good and interesting story. A little quirky but overall well performed. I would recommend it! The scariest book of the series, for me. I re-read the series every year, and I hear different things every time. This one is something I cannot read at night. Too much of my least favorite thing! So glad John Connolly finally got this book on Audible. Anyone who is not a resident of Maine will probably not be bothered by the faults in narration. However, I would like to offer my free expert advice to all narrators who are giving voice to books set in Maine.

The Blessing Way Audiobook by Tony Hillerman

Title: The Blessing Way Author: Tony Hillerman Narrator: George Guidall Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 28 mins Language: English Release date: 05-18-15 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 495 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Modern Detective Publisher's Summary: Homicide is always an abomination, but there is something exceptionally disturbing about the victim discovered in a high, lonely place: a corpse with a mouth full of sand, abandoned at a crime scene seemingly devoid of tracks or useful clues. Though it goes against his better judgment, Navajo tribal police lieutenant Joe Leaphorn cannot help but suspect the hand of a supernatural killer. There is palpable evil in the air, and Leaphorn's pursuit of a wolf-witch is leading him where even the bravest men fear - on a chilling trail that winds perilously between mysticism and murder. Members Reviews: A 'Blessing' Indeed! I've admired the books of Tony Hillerman for years. Many newer Southwest-based mystery series owe him a debt - and few equal his ability to make the reader (or, in this case, listener) feel in his/her bones what it must be like to live in Navaho country. So, wow, was I happy to see that some of these classics have recently been released by Audible, read by the great and wonderful George Guidall! Talk about a perfect pairing - Guidall is one of those narrators who could bring feeling and gravitas to a reading of the telephone book, as the saying goes. "The Blessing Way" is definitely not the telephone book, and it's a total joy to be re-introduced to this early Tony Hillerman featuring Joe Leaphorn. I look forward to experiencing more of the early series as well as some of Hillerman's later books. Thank you, Audible! Still Great This book was published in 1970. Hillerman is a great storyteller and this story is still captivating after more than 40 years. I read many books of this series over the years, and enjoyed every one of them. They are just as enjoyable in audio, especially with the excellent narration by George Guidall. The story takes place on a Navajo reservation. Main character Joe Leaphorn is a Navajo tribal police officer. For me there is a timelessness in the setting and the characters. I'll be listening to more books in this series. Enjoyable book and Narration I'm off to look for the next book in the series! Thoroughly enjoyed listening to this book! Great quick listen A classic murder mystery read by an amazing narrator. Guidall is one of the very best. Murder and Intrigue In the Hopi Ruins I'd read later Leaphorn mysteries and liked the interaction between characters who were not introduced yet in this, the first book in the series. This book centered on an academic, and a lot of action in an archeological dig and it felt to me like Leaphorn was a bit player. Glad I'd read the other book first or I might not have continued with what is a really fine series with well drawn characters.

Eleven on Top Audiobook by Janet Evanovich

This time, Stephanie has decided to quit her job as a bounty hunter. She wants something safe. She wants something normal. She's tired of creeps, weirdos, and stalkers. But just when she thinks she's out, they pull her back in! This latest novel is packed full of Janet Evanovich's trademark wit, adventure, and sly comedy. So fasten your seatbelt and hang on...Stephanie's back in town! Critic Reviews: "A pleasing romp." (Publishers Weekly) "It's wonderful to watch both a beloved character and a cherished author grow, and both Stephanie Plum and Evanovich do not disappoint." (Booklist) Members Reviews: More Plum Fun Eleven on Top has all the fun hijinks that readers expect from a Stephanie Plum novel. If you are looking for new developments in the Morelli-Stephanie-Ranger story, it is not there, but there are many laugh-out-loud moments. Lorelei King does a great job, as usual, with the narration, making the characters come to life. For Plum fans, this is worth a listen. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THIS SERIES!!!! I'm so sad to have finished this eleventh in the Stephanie Plum series. You see, I went to Janet Evanovich's book signing a year ago for #10 having never read any of her books. I had heard she was a great author and thought I'd show up for the party and get a copy. They handed out index cards with either "Joe" or "Ranger" on them. I didn't even know who they were! After hearing all the people in line rave about Janet Evanovich, I decided that I needed to start at the beginning. Since July 2004, I have listened to all 11 books unabridged, except for Seven Up which until recently, was only available in abridged form. I have lived with and gotten to know Stephanie, Joe, Ranger, Lulu, Grandma Mazer and all the characters for a whole year...and now, I've finished. Janet, please hurry up with #12! I highly recommend this series. Sure, you can listen in any order as you'll still be laughing so hard, you'll have to pull your car over...but I recommend listening in order even if you can only find the abridged versions. Thank you Janet for a wonderful series. Will she ever choose a man to marry? This was such fun I was slogging up and down the hills of Acapulco laughing my butt off. The people I met must have thought I was there for the cure. It was a fun story, heartfelt and charming characters. The reader was a gem. How she does everyone from a gruff old man to a crazy old Italian witch, I can't say, but it was fun from start to finish. Like watching a movie in your head! I have to admit I'm hooked! I really enjoy the Stephanie Plum stories, but what send me over the top is the narrarator. Lorelei King does such a great job, you easily will believe it's more than one person reading. She takes Evanovich's stories to new levels. I recommend starting with the whole series. King doesn't start reading till book seven though, and the characters aren't as interesting and gripping until she narrates. We need more books read by King. THESE ARE A MUST READ. Another Great Plum Story I liked the story & the narrator. The tension between the characters is great.

The woman has an unmatched talent for making the worst of any situation, especially if it means getting revenge on her sworn enemies, Ida Belle and Gertie. At the Fourth of July celebration, an explosion rocks Sinful, and it's not from fireworks. Most people assume it was a moonshine still, but when evidence points to a meth lab deep in the bayous of Sinful, Fortune realizes how dire the situation is for the tiny town. With Carter on medical leave and no one left at the sheriff's department who can handle the investigation, Fortune, Ida Belle, and Gertie decide to take matters into their own hands. This is (another) mission for Swamp Team 3. Members Reviews: This never disappoints If you have liked when the ladies and Celia Arceneaux have had differences and they put shit on her, then you will love it when they work to take her down for her Trump like moves. Not blazing but okay This isn't one of my favorite in the series, but it's still okay. I do enjoy that themes are always current. Great series Any additional comments? Great series.

A few sips of wine and a few hours later, she was dead. The murder weapon: a rare, usually undetectable date-rape drug with a street value of a quarter million dollars. Detective Eve Dallas is playing and replaying the clues in her mind. The candlelight, the music, the rose petals strewn across the bed - a seduction meant for his benefit, not hers. He hadn't intended to kill her. But now that he has, he is left with only two choices: to either hole up in fear and guilt or start hunting again.... Members Reviews: RE-DO! w/ corrected Characters PEABODY for one! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! When I first saw "Seduction In Death" new release date I thought it was just the same book with a new republication date... but it's not. I am passionate about the "In Death" series and am constantly blown away by J. D. Robbs /Nora Roberts genius. I think Susan Ericksen is brilliant but I have been perplexed for sometime as to why the "Powers That Be" dictated changes in the character depiction of my beloved characters in books 13-16. I didn't dare to even dream that I would ever get to hear my favorite character in these books as I have grown to love them but IT HAPPENED and I'M IN HEAVEN! All the character depiction in the Redo of Seduction In Death are back...to name a few, Peabody, Rourke, Eve, Morris, Commander Whitney etc... In the first rendition of Seduction In Death some of the characters went through major transformation, some more subtle in the Re-do they are all back, in the characters we have grown to love and expect, as they have been depicting in all the books with the exclusion of the character diversions in books 13-16. The Red-do of "Seduction In Death" in my opinion, is as it should have been the first time out. If this is your first "A-read" of Seduction in death you have a treat in store, if this is the first Re-do "A-read" of Seduction in Death you have a treat and surprise in store! Can't wait to A-read the next Re-do's. This one is a definite Winner! Major Kudu's to Ms. Ericksen! Great book even better with new recording Any additional comments? I'm delighted that Susan Ericksen has re-recorded some of the first In Death books she originally performed several years ago. I think this was one of her firsts, and she had not yet developed all the distinct character voices that ID fans recognize today.I just finished listening to the new recording and it has really enhanced my enjoyment of this book. J.D. Robb and Susan Ericksen are a can't-be-beat combination! Voice sounded different I have been listening to all the books in order. This performance seemed somewhat sluggish. Story still great Oh Thank Goddness - Re-Record! Would you consider the audio edition of Seduction in Death to be better than the print version? I heard that a couple of the books were re-recorded but I thought that they could not be that bad - so no I would not go back and get the re-recorded versions. I have the entire collection and have listened to them for years but I never noticed that the old version did not have the right voices. I was listening to the old version tonight and not even one chapter in I had to stop because it was driving me crazy. Then I found the re-recorded version.

Title: Heat Lightning Author: John Sandford Narrator: Eric Conger Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 59 mins Language: English Release date: 01-07-09 Publisher: Penguin Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 1879 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Modern Detective Publisher's Summary: Flowers is only in his late 30's, but he's been around the block a few times, and he doesn't think much can surprise him anymore. He's wrong. It's a hot, humid summer night in Minnesota, and Flowers is in bed with one of his ex-wives (the second one, if you're keeping count ) when the phone rings. It's Lucas Davenport. There's a body in Stillwater, two shots to the head, found near a veterans' memorial . And the victim has a lemon in his mouth. Exactly like the body they found last week. The more Flowers works the murders, the more convinced he is th at someone's keeping a list, and that the list could have a lot more names on it. If only he could find out what connects them all...and then he does, and he's almost sorry he did. Because if it's true, then this whole thing leads down a lot more trails than he thought it did - and every one of them is booby-trapped. Filled with the audacious plotting, rich characters, and brilliant suspense, this is Sandford writing at the top of his game. Critic Reviews: "Compulsively readable." (Los Angeles Times) Members Reviews: Flower power One thing I've learned about book series that are very chronological like both the Davenport and Flowers series, is that once one gets hooked, the easiest thing to do is just start at the beginning and go to the end. Some of the series are better than others, but I just look at them as one long story with different chapters. This Flowers book was well written well enough, the plot was interesting enough, convoluted enough to keep me interested, as have most of the Davenport books. There are spots which could use editing, but as I said, I'm just reading them all. And enjoying the easy ride. Flowers is somewhat like Lucas in his doggedness, and self confidence, but comes from a different and more contemplative POV. The interaction between Davenport and Flowers, from the inception of the Flowers series doesn't really add much in a literary sense, but I think most fans will like their connection. I gave a well-deserved scathing review of Conger's narration in the first Flowers novel. I am happy to say that he has improved greatly since then. This time, while he made no real aural distinction between characters, he was much more expressive, slowed down, and yes! fully enunciated the majority of the words. Now, I can look forward to reading the rest of the series. One of John Sandfords best I have listened to a few other of John Standford's books and this is the best one I have heard so far. It has it all with a great deal of suspense that kept me trying to figure out who was the killer and I was not sure until the end of the book. There was plenty of action as well with the different murders and Virgil's always interesting personal life intertwined into it too. All of this and excellent narrating by Eric Conger made this a very enjoyable listen. Lesser known Sandford character is GREAT!! On a recommendation by Stephen King, I picked up my first John Sandford book ever. No, it was not anything in "Prey" series. This book was called "Rough Country" and the main character is a law enforcement officer by the name of Virgil Flowers. The mix of suspense and humor (Virgil is a sarcastic one) is exactly what makes for good reading/listening. Also, the narration is flawless.

Instead it was only the beginning.... Lizzy Gardner was just 17 when she was kidnapped by the psychopath known as Spiderman, a serial killer terrorizing her California hometown. Imprisoned and tormented for months, Lizzy narrowly escaped with her life and Spiderman vanished without a trace. But if she thought he would forget her, she was dead wrong. Fourteen years later, Lizzy is a successful private investigator and self-defense instructor. Wracked with guilt over being the only victim to survive, she's devoted her life to helping others protect themselves from the horrors she endured. But a single phone call brings the terror of the past crashing back. Spiderman has returned and this time, he has no intention of letting Lizzy go. So begins a chilling game of cat-and-mouse, a terrifying, heart-pounding hunt for vengeance that only one will survive. Members Reviews: Edge of your seat Any additional comments? This book is definitely an edge of your seat "what happens next" page turner kind of listen. I thought the characters were well developed and I liked the way the past was tied to the present. I was not prepared for the finale when the antagonist's identity is finally revealed and why he did what he did. I think Kate Rudd's voice although whiney at times suited the part she was reading since the main character does complain about memory loss and nightmares having to do with her abduction. I hesitated purchasing because of the low price but am happy I finally purchased it. I will read the rest of the series. Good story but pretty disturbing torture scenes. Enjoyable story, easy to listen to. Hold your attention to the end BUT the torture scenes are quite disturbing. Reminds me of the show Criminal Minds If you like the TV show Criminal Minds then I think youll enjoy this book. I got fed up with the show after a few seasons because the stories and the violence were getting too over-the-top for evening TV. Gratuitous gore isnt entertaining in my opinion, so needless to say I didnt love this book. I would have preferred more suspense and fewer gruesome scenes that exist simply to shock the reader. The basic plot was just ok and if the rest of the series is like this, I wont bother. Was hoping for better... I did like this book BUT, the narrator was almost robotic at times, a couple of times sounding like she was reading a Dick and Jane book, so simplistic were the words/sentences. I got past it but it would creep up again in the next chapter so it never completely went away. Sometimes it did feel like you may have missed something and I didn't really find the reasoning of the killer that enthralling. There wasn't much depth there. And everything seemed a little too convienient with certain things. I felt at a point that it started to loose direction and things got a little more convienient and not told real well. I also didn't care too much for the ending. Anti climatic. Overall tho, I didn't shut it off, the story kept my interest, even with all this other stuff I didn't care for. I gave it a borderline 3. Just ok. I've listened to much better in this genre...it was on sale so I tried it. I probably will not continue on with the series.

Whatever they need. Seattle Chief of Detectives Mort Grant is still reeling from losing his daughter - again. When Allie first walked back into his life, breaking years of silence, he could hardly believe his luck. And after hearing her story, Mort tried to do everything in his power to keep her safe. The only person he trusted with Allie's life was The Fixer. But, for the first time, The Fixer let him down. Now Mort has been called in on a gruesome murder case: a beautiful young woman found in a ravine, her body riddled with stab wounds. Within 24 hours, the police uncover a snuff film depicting her murder, the killer's face always just out of shot. When a second body and video are discovered, Mort knows this is no ordinary case. From a chain of sleazy payday loan shops to the dark underworld of the sex-slave trade, Mort's chasing a twisted menace to hell and back. But he's not the only one. Once again, The Fixer is on the hunt - and she's desperate to make things right. Members Reviews: The Fixer, psychologist Lydia Corriger, Book 4! And of course Seattle Detective Mort Grant, the man who knows her secret, joins Lydia in another case. This novel is about the world Mort's daughter has been forced into. The publisher's summary for Fixed in Blood gives the correct amount of information to set up the novel, so I will not repeat it. Fixed in Blood was released in audio format this week. Author and clinical psychologist T. E. Woods has apparently finished the six novel Justice/Fixer series set in Seattle, but the final two novels are not yet available in audio. She has now moved on to her Hush Money series set in Madison, Wisconsin where she lives and has her psychologist practice. Hush Money was released in ebook format four months ago. Bad Girl, the second novel in the Hush Money series, will be released in ebook format in March, 2018. Woods is obviously a very talented author of suspense mystery /thrillers. All four of her audio novels are solid 5 star winners. Christina Delaine does a great job of narration. Each novel in the Justice/Fixer is standalone, but they are best listened to in order written. This series has my highest possible recommendation. The Fixer and Mort together again! Oh my! This book grabs you from chapter one, no make that from paragraph one and it pulls you right in. A young woman is getting ready for her daughter's birthday the next day when a man she owes money to with a store front loan shop (Right Now Finance) calls and says he has a prostitution job for her that will wipe out her debt. Against her better judgment she goes. This author sets up a foreboding scene and you know the woman's apprehension was valid. After her body is discovered the money man who made the arrangements is berated by the woman who supplies the women. She's mad that he got one of her women murdered. She's trying to "help" them, she says they're women who fell on hard times not whores. When murder films begin showing up Detective Mort Grant is on the case. Meanwhile , Dr. Lydia Corriger has a patient who owes money to the same man. She calls Lydia in the wee hours and tells her that she's being sold to clear her debts. She said "they're sending her away".

Title: Spirit of Steamboat Subtitle: A Walt Longmire Story Author: Craig Johnson Narrator: George Guidall Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 39 mins Language: English Release date: 10-17-13 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 1864 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Modern Detective Publisher's Summary: A holiday tale from the best-selling author of the Walt Longmire mystery series, the inspiration for A&E's hit show, Longmire. "It' s a question of what you have to do, what you have to live with if you don't." Sheriff Walt Longmire is reading A Christmas Carol in his office on December 24th when he's interrupted by the ghost of Christmas past: a young woman with a hairline scar across her forehead and more than a few questions about Walt' s predecessor, Lucian Connally. Walt doesn' t recognize the mystery woman, but she seems to know him and claims to have something she must return to Connally. With his daughter, Cady, and his undersheriff Vic Moretti in Philadelphia for the holidays, Walt is at loose ends, and despite the woman' s reticence to reveal her identity, he agrees to help her. At the Durant Home for Assisted Living Lucian Connally is several tumblers into his Pappy Van Winkle' s and swears he's never clapped eyes on the woman before. Disappointed, she whispers " Steamboat" and begins a story that takes them all back to Christmas Eve 1988, when three people died in a terrible crash and a young girl had the slimmest chance of survival...back to a record-breaking blizzard, to Walt' s first year as sheriff, with a young daughter at home and a wife praying for his safety...back to a whiskey-soaked World War II vet ready to fly a decommissioned plane and risk it all to save a life. Members Reviews: Welcome Holiday Diversion A dangerous, ill-advised medical rescue flight in an ancient aircraft to Denver on a stormy winter's night. Tension aplenty, and a flashback to Walt Longmire's early days as Sheriff, when his daughter was a youngster and his wife was still alive. There's also new insight into Walt's predecessor and friend Luther. My husband and I listened to this short piece during a holiday driving trip. Walt is always a good companion. Some of our favorite Longmire characters are missing from this novella, and its length prohibits the usual multifaceted plot of Johnson's works, but we nevertheless enjoyed this short adventure. Perhaps not the best introduction to the series, so don't start with this one if you are new to Craig Johnson. But, for fans, it's a great, bumpy ride! And George Guidell, as always, is just spot-on perfect! Full Steam Ahead A feel good Walt Longmire Christmas novella. One Christmas Eve when Lucian was still the sheriff, can-do Walt and Lucian set out on a harrowing adventure to save a young girl's life. She is the only survivor of a terrible car accident and must be transported immediately to a hospital than can treat her life threatening injuries before its too late. Crazy Lucent, Walt, and a young female pilot that Lucent calls "toots", take on the task of flying an old bomber called, "Steamboat" through a terrible ice and snow blizzard. A wonderful, heroic story of faith and giving sprinkled with a little "nut job". The perfect blend of humor and Christmas spirit. As always George Guidall's narrative was excellent. Tis the season. A Walt Longmire novella without any mystery I like Craig Johnson's series about Walt Longmire and have listened to 8 of them. This novella is a kind of "Christmas cheer".

Shadow Prey Audiobook by John Sandford

Title: Shadow Prey Author: John Sandford Narrator: Richard Ferrone Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 12 mins Language: English Release date: 06-06-12 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 2613 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Modern Detective Publisher's Summary: In Shadow Prey, the crackling sequel to Rules of Prey, Twin Cities sleuth Lucas Davenport teams up with NYPD Lieutenant Lily Rothenberg to track down an elusive killer known only as Shadow Love. Among the victims are a Minneapolis slumlord, a judge from Oklahoma City, and a Manhattan politician. The murder weapon is a Native American ceremonial knife. Members Reviews: Top 3 out of his 23 Davenport Novels All the Davenport Novels are worth a read, this particular book is great because it revolves around a younger, crazier, slutty, always manipulative Lucas, a group of fugitives that are both interesting & dangerous, & many of Davenports close friends in the future are cementing they're loyalties from these earlier novels. For some reason I read so many of the other Prey novels before I came back & read this one which is technically the 2nd in the series... It was worth it almost to the point I wish I read it earlier. But all his books are great & the development of Lucas & his family all take place throughout the series but this book is still in the stages before he had to worry about another woman, kids, politics, & future responsibilities I ended up reading at almost the same time because I was reading Silken Prey shorty after.... Highly recommend this book... LUCAS is establishing why he is such a bada$* & has the reputation he does.... Lucas Davenport = Great If you could sum up Shadow Prey in three words, what would they be? Davenport, suspenseful, exciting Who was your favorite character and why? While I guess Davenport but another character, it would be Lily. I enjoy the whole cast of characters in the Prey novels though. Any additional comments? I have read most of the Prey series and love it. Am going back and listening to them in order. This is his second book. The narration is excellent. Does not disappoint. I highly recommend this series. Lucass Davenport the ruderless rogue! I'm not a huge fan of the early novel in the "Prey" series. Once Davenport meets and marries Weather, they have Sam, and Lettie enters the picture the novels get much better. I suspect my issues with the first 13 novels in the series, and especially with the first 6, is that Davenport seems rudderless and without a strong moral center of gravity. Davenport in Shadow Prey definitely fits that description. I like Lucas Davenport the family man more than Lucas Davenport the rogue, This book was released in 1990 and the series remains active with Book 25 being recently released. Sandford and Ferrone - Match Made in Heaven Is it possible to fall in love with an author/narrator/protagonist combo? Yes, indeed. Sandford, Ferrone and that sometimes naughty Davenport rock the story. John Sandford used incredibly good judgment choosing Richard Ferrone. Long live authors who "listen" to their own books being read! Fast paced, but could've used less harlequin romance. Headline says is all. I thought it was overall decent story. Not the best Sanford.

Is he there to find a missing patient? Or has he been sent to look into rumors of Ashecliffe's radical approach to psychiatry; an approach that may include drug experimentation, hideous surgical trials, and lethal countermoves in the shadow war against Soviet brainwashing ...Or is there another, more personal reason why he has come there? As the investigation deepens, the questions only mount. The closer Teddy and Chuck get to the truth, the more elusive it becomes, and the more they begin to believe that they may never leave Shutter Island because someone is trying to drive them insane ... Members Reviews: Outstanding psychological thriller set in the 50s Shutter Island was an amazingly enjoyable audiobook, from the first to last sentence. Tom Stechschulte does a great job with the narration, as he usually does. But it's the story that really hooked me. I don't leave many reviews, but had to mention my surprise at how ingenious this story is, and how well it flows toward the surprise ending (I really didn't see it coming). US Marshall's suspect that some illegal activities are taking place at a prison for the criminally insane. The Marshall's are welcomed to the island, but quickly feel they're being given the runaround. The suspense builds and never lets up, one of the most enjoyable reads in months. WOW! A great find....finally! Read the book before you see the movie!! Actually.... skip the movie! LOVED this book! I've read / listened to over 100+ books in the past 2 years and have never written a review. I just had to on this one. The narrator was ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC! Every character had a distinct voice and in a few places he had to switch back and forth at lightening speed....and he did! Excellent job on his part. Hats off! The story was as good as the story teller.Something interesting happened quite often and I found myself trying to figure things out too...right along with the main character. If twists and turns are what you like, get this book. Something different from soooo many others. I've been getting very bored with the same old plots and storylines and this was refreshing.It really was enjoyable and I'm sure you wont be disappointed. WOW!!!! I read alot of books, but this is the first one in a long time that had my attention so thoroughly that I couldn't put it down. I could constantly be seen with my earbuds plugged into my head. I always thought I was pretty good at figuring out the ending, but this one caught me totally by surprise. Not only does the author do a great job of making his characters three dimentional, the narrator does a remarkable job of bringing them all to life. No sooner had I reached the last page when I started the book over again to see how differently it would read after knowing the ending. This is one author I will add to my favorites, and one narrator that I will watch for in my book purchases. It was a fantastic read!!1 I now find myself wanting to attend the movie to see if it follows the book. As far as the ending, I liked it. It still leaves you wondering about Teddy.It allows you to use your own imagination. I'm still pondering it! Keeps you riveted until the end I am an avid reader and listen to a lot of audiobooks because of my long commutes. There are very few that I would recommend as highly as this one.

Savage Run Audiobook by C. J. Box

Box Narrator: David Chandler Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 48 mins Language: English Release date: 03-28-11 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 1578 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Modern Detective Publisher's Summary: An Edgar, Anthony, Macavity, Gumshoe, and Barry Award winner, C. J. Box delivers the second pulse-pounding installment in his critically acclaimed series. While investigating a string of bizarre murders, Wyoming game warden Joe Pickett is forced to flee across treacherous terrain with a deadly tracker on his trail. Critic Reviews: "Picturesque detailing, admirable prose, and agitating suspense demonstrate the appeal of this follow-up to Boxs Edgar nominated debut." ( Library Journal) "Laconic Joe Pickett returns to his slightly offbeat duties in Wyoming's Bighorn Mountains in C. J. Box's Savage Run. Joe is called to the scene when an exploding cow kills a famous ecoterrorist, Stewie Woods, and his bride of three days, who were peacefully spiking trees. A visit to the cow's pugnacious owner leaves Joe defensive, angry, and curious: Why doesn't the rancher ask any questions about the bizarre accident that happened on his land? Then Joe's wife, Marybeth, begins receiving phone calls from her high-school boyfriend - the peculiarly healthy-sounding Stewie Woods. Stewie may or may not be alive, but his old pal Hayden Powell and other environmental activists are all turning up deceased in strange circumstances. As the body count climbs, Joe tries to sort out the bad guys, the good guys, and the truly dead guys in this sometimes funny, sometimes angry [novel]. Box depicts the spare beauty and cussed individualism of the intermountain West with the sure hand of a seasoned writer." (Amazon.com review) Members Reviews: Box brings the West alive! Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Yes. I found the plot interesting and the characters well-developed. Yes, it isn't a traditional mystery as we already know who the bad guys are, but Mr Box develops the setting so well that it becomes another character. I live in the mountains of Colorado and life is quite similar to life in WY. Hunting, fishing, ams... I think Mr Box does a great job of illustrating the type of lives that are lived in the rural West. Some reviewers said they found Joe Pickett to be too weak. I don't think of him as weak. He is a pacifist, a lover of nature, and a family man. He does the job he does because he truly believes that the animals and land should be protected. He carries a weapon only because it is required and would much rather not do so. To me, that isn't weak, in fact, it is the opposite. He has strong convictions and isn't swayed by outside sources. I respect that in people and I respect it in this character. What other book might you compare Savage Run to and why? 21st century range war! Adventure not mystery. Instead of the cowboys against the farmers (Oklahoma!,) it's the gentleman ranchers against the environmentalists! It's a good story, and Box's descriptions of the wild country in Wyoming are marvelous. This is not really a mystery, since we know who the bad guys are and it isn't hard to guess who is behind their killing spree. As a result, the plot seems thin, too slow and stretching beyond the limits of credibility at times. I read this after reading Force of Nature, book #12, which I liked better but also suffered from some of the same plot defects. I like the protagonist Joe Pickett, but he can't possibly be so naive as he sometimes says or acts.

The Thirst Audiobook by Neil Smith - translator, Jo Nesbo

Title: The Thirst Subtitle: A Harry Hole Novel Author: Neil Smith - translator, Jo Nesbo Narrator: John Lee Format: Unabridged Length: 17 hrs and 7 mins Language: English Release date: 05-09-17 Publisher: Random House Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 1020 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Modern Detective Publisher's Summary: Harry Hole returns in the 11th installment of the author's best-selling, electrifying crime fiction series - published in 48 languages, more than 30 million copies sold worldwide. In Police - the last novel featuring Jo Nesb's hard-bitten, maverick Oslo detective - a killer wreaking revenge on the police had Harry Hole fighting for the safety of the people closest to him. Now, in The Thirst, the story continues as Harry is inextricably drawn back into the Oslo police force. A serial murderer has begun targeting Tinder daters - a murderer whose MO reignites Harry's hunt for a nemesis of his past. Critic Reviews: "John Lee at his best is about as good as it gets in audiobook narration. Jo Nesb in top form is a showstopper, and when they're together, perfectly in sync as here, you may need a Valium to get through the final chapters.... Bravo to both of them for this thrill ride." ( AudioFile) Members Reviews: Normally, I love Jo Nesbo. This book was WAY off the mark for me. It was far too gruesome, disjointed, and confusing. I'm bored with John Lee's narration. If you've never listened to Harry Hole novel, don't start with this one. It's not typical of the author. There are many others that are better. JMHO Hole Is Back Always happy to see a new Hole. This one pleases me until the climactic confession, which loses all plausibility. On the other hand, it's not literature, it's genre, and there's plenty of plot centered on vampirism, a nice way for Nesbo to tip his hat to that subgenre without crossing over into fantasy. So give Nesbo a pickled herring for his effort and a shot of aquavit. Nesbo's Harry Hole Rules The Genre I read and listen to plenty of wonderful authors, particularly in Mystery/Police Procedurals. Few if any approach Jo Nesbo' Harry Hole series for characters and intriguing mystery. With the exception of the second and third in the long series, Cockroaches and Red Breast, each of the novels is a 5 star adventure. The Thirst is one of the better storylines, featuring chilling and horrific murders, great police work and a great conclusion. The suspense is masterful. In other words, if this is your first novel in the series, you will not miss a thing. If this is your 12th venture, you will not be disappointed. Tedious, Unoriginal and Poorly Narrated I am late to the Harry Hole party but was enticed by the hype and history of the series. Well, perhaps this wasn't the book to start with, but I am 11 hours into it and am reluctantly bailing out. In part this is owing to the reader, John Lee. I am sure Mr Lee is a nice guy but he is the worst reader I have ever encountered in my many dozens of Audible books. He has the most annoying artificial way of intoning his words that makes any character's voice sound like a superficial twit. No one IRL talks like his characters. Sadly, I had previously encountered his narration and had the same reaction, but had forgotten his name. The minute I opened this book and heard him again I cringed. Really, he is terrible. Nevertheless, if the story ever got moving along I might have overlooked the problematic reading, but it just drags and drags. Plus it's nothing original - just the old "ace detective bedeviled by an old nemesis" story. Adding some iron teeth (seriously?) to the villain can't salvage it.

His pounding headache was unbearable - like spikes drilling into his brain. And it was getting worse. Finally, when someone knocked at his door, Louie picked up a baseball bat, opened the door, and started swinging... The first cop on the scene fired his stunner twice and Louie died instantly. Detective Eve Dallas has taken over the investigation, but there's nothing to explain the man's sudden rage or death. The only clue is a bizarre message left on his computer screen: Absolute Purity Achieved. And when a second man dies under nearly identical circumstances, Dallas starts racking her brain for answers and for courage to face the impossible... that this might be a computer virus able to spread from machine to man.... Members Reviews: Great story Showed a softer side of Eve. Showed that she can let others in and she can care about others. She's learning what it means to have a family and close friends. As always Susan did an AWESOME job of narrating. I'm so glad they stayed with her and didn't which up. I think it would lose something if they change narrators. A Pure Eve Dallas Mystery.. Loved this plot line..a pure eve dallas novel but with visits from old plots..from people who we never thought to see again.. Great Interaction with Side Characters This one wasnt all about the case, but had some great moments with side characters. I loved that the boy came back, and we get to see him growing up. the ending surprised me, but was believable and had good basis. Another good one! Best Lt Eve to date. This is the best of the series to date. Complicated and complex with a satisfying wrap up. Narrator is the best. Highly recommend this audiobook. Another hit Once again JDRobb and Susan Ericksen team for another spelling binding adventure of Lt Eve Dallas. Really showed the more gentle side of Dallas.

Hall Meet Dexter Morgan, a polite wolf in sheeps clothing. Hes handsome and charming, but something in his past has made him abide by a different set of rules. Hes a serial killer whose one golden rule makes him immensely likeable: he only kills bad people. And his job as a blood splatter expert for the Miami police department puts him in the perfect position to identify his victims. But when a series of brutal murders bearing a striking similarity to his own style start turning up, Dexter is caught between being flattered and being frightened - of himself or some other fiend. Critic Reviews: "A macabre tour-de-force." ( The New York Times Book Review) A dark comedy with a creative twist. ( The Miami Herald) Dark and devious..Daring and unexpectedly comedic. ( USA Today) Members Reviews: I love the show, like the book I got this book because I was about to embark on a long run and needed something mindless to listen to. Since I'd already seen Season 1, I thought this would be a good choice. It was! It was quite similar to the show as one would expect, since the show was based upon the book, however the end was not at all the same. I've seen all of the seasons on TV, but I am still left wanting to listen to the next book. I was not expecting that to happen one bit, so I'm pleasantly surprised. If you liked the show, you'll like the book! Highly Recommended for Any Dexter Fan Any additional comments? To start this off, I am a big fan of watching movies and t.v. shows that were based off of books first, and then going back and reading/listening to them. This is for two reasons: First, I can listen or read at a quicker pace and with less stress of missing key points because I already know the general story line. Secondly, when you read first, the movie/show usually disappoints. But if you watch first, the book still has something new and exciting to add. After watching the first season of Dexter(the TV show), I decided to check out the books that began the hit show. This book was just different enough to keep me interested, but similar enough that I understood how everything fit together. Overall, the story was pretty fantastic. When I listen to books, I like to listen for "deal breakers." These could range from a terrible narration, unnecessary plot elements, or even just a boring story. To be completely honest, there were none in this book. The only possible downside is that the author narrated his own book. This usually isn't as good as a professional narrator even though the author knows how he wants the book to be read. In this instance, Dexter's voice was probably the only one that was distinguishable. Deb and Masuoka sound the same, Laguerta and Batista sound the same, and everyone else is just a blur. But as long as you pay attention, you will have no trouble understanding what is happening. Overall: Great plot twists, no dragging monologues, and most importantly: it's America's favorite serial killer! Excellent Thriller Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? I would defiantly recommend this book to a friend and have done so since listening to it. Who was your favorite character and why? It's a no brainer, Dexter is by far my favorite Character in this book. I love the way he thinks and process people and events.

Her change of voices makes you believe the characters. After my first listen of this series, I stopped reading the books and listen to them instead. I really enjoy Lulu!! One of my favorite Plum books What made the experience of listening to Twelve Sharp the most enjoyable? Starting from the beginning of the Plum series, this is one of the best plots. The dialogue and characters are always so much fun! What about Lorelei Kings performance did you like? I LOVE Lorelei's performances. Her character voices are wonderful and I could never listen to a Plum book read by anyone else. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? "Did somebody step on a duck?"

Robb Narrator: Susan Ericksen Format: Unabridged Length: 13 hrs and 18 mins Language: English Release date: 11-02-10 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 2341 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Modern Detective Publisher's Summary: When a murder disrupts the Irish vacation she is taking with her husband, Roarke, Eve realizes that no place is safe - not an Irish wood or the streets of the manic city she calls home. But nothing prepares her for what she discovers upon her return to the cop shop in New York City.... A driver for a top-of-the-line limousine service is found dead - shot through the neck with a crossbow. The car was booked by an executive at a venerable security company whose identity had been stolen. Days later, a stunning, high-priced escort is found killed at Coney Island, a bayonet stuck in her heart. And again, the trail leads to a CEO whose information has been hijacked. With a method established, but no motive to be found, Eve begins to fear that she has come across that most dangerous of criminals, a thrill killer, but one with a taste for the finer things in life - and death. Eve does not know where or when the next kill will be, or that her investigation will take her to the rarefied circle that Roarke travels in - and into the perverted heart of madness.... Members Reviews: Good story, great Eve/Roarke relationship Although there is some similarity to an earlier story, Indulgence stands well on its own because it takes a different approach. It's a procedural--you watch Eve and her team build the case a little at a time. There's more of the laugh-out-loud dialog and snide comments (which I love) than there have been in the previous two books. If you're a fan of the Eve/Roarke relationship parts, you'll particularly enjoy the first three chapters (and probably the last few as well). Susan Ericksen does an amazing job as always, really bringing the characters to life. Another great "In Death" entry. Keep them coming, J.D.! Eve Dallas Never Disappoints I love this series and this one doesn't disappoint! I really enjoy the interaction between the characters. It combines mystery, humor and romance in just the right amounts to equal a satisfying tale. Susan Ericksen really makes the audiobook with her excellent voicing of each character. An excellent narrator! I recommend this whole series! How does she do it? JD Robb delivers again! While most authors have trouble cranking out one interesting sequel, JD Robb is still giving us great stories over 30 books after the first! The only reason I did not give this 5 stars is because I felt we were cheated out of the final scene of the BBQ. But the character development in this series is so wonderful that I feel like I KNOW these people. And Susan Ericksen brings these characters to life flawlessly with her narration! If this is your first time meeting Eve Dallas and her clan, I suggest going back and starting with book one (Naked in Death) so you can get the full flavor of the series. You will not be disappointed! Homerun Although the book has a theme and it is similar to her prior books, for me that's the draw. That is what I crave. Basically, that???s how true life is "there is nothing new under the sun." I enjoyed the book. I do like some books more than others, and I enjoyed this one. Although there were some similarities, they fit and made the book interesting. I loved the interactions between the characters, again; it seems Eve is softer than other books. I felt this book was a bit different even with the similarities.

In the latest installment of the number one New York Times best-selling Charlaine Harris's Aurora Teagarden series, Robin and Aurora have finally begun their adventure in parenting. With newborn Sophie proving to be quite a handful, Roe's mother pays for a partially trained nurse, Virginia Mitchell, to come help the new parents for a few weeks. Virginia proves to be especially helpful when Robin has to leave town for work and Roe is struck with a bad case of the flu. One particularly stormy night, Roe wakes to hear her daughter crying and Virginia nowhere to be found. Roe's brother Philip helps her search the house, and they happen upon a body outside. But it isn't Virginia's. Now, not only does she have a newborn to care for and a vulnerable new marriage to nurture, but Roe also has to contend with a new puzzle - who is this mystery woman dead in their backyard, and what happened to Virginia? This heart-pounding and exciting next installment of the Aurora Teagarden series will leave fans happy and hungry for more. Members Reviews: Best book of the series I liked that the story grabbed my attention immediately and held on till the last word. The narration is amazing. I was so sure I knew who dunnit through most of the book, that I was surprised to find i was wrong. The previous book in the series stressed me out because of the main plot line. This story has danger, intrigue, and a corpse which all lead to a fabulous plot line. The story touches on all parts of Roe's past and neatly weaves the old with the new. It is done with a masterful touch that keeps the story feeling fresh and new. There is no sense of the author putting the story on while while refreshing the readers memories. Masterfully done. I love seeing how well Roe is adjusting to motherhood. It is written well and feels true-to-life. Yet, it doesn't overwhelm the murder plot line. It has been a while since I've picked up a book this good. I highly recommend it! Enjoyable A homey mystery, with enough turns and twists to keep you captivated. I was honestly a bit dissapointed with the end, but that could easily just be me. I finished within a few days despite how busy I have been because it hooked me quickly. And the narration was fantastic, brought the book to life. Happy for a new book in the series. I love this series! I was so happy to find that a new book was on the pre order list. If anything I think this is the best book in the series. Most of the time I have the "who" figured out before the reveal. Not this time! My favorite parts of the book are finding out what is happening with the minor characters from the series and the little hint at the end about a possible new story in the future. Better than the last one or two I really enjoyed this one. The first few in this series were riveting and then my interest waned a bit. I picked up this one though and thoroughly enjoyed it. Love Ro This story didn't disappoint. I love the storyline and the cast of characters are great. I also love how loose ends were tied up. Please keep them coming about Ro.

More than 300 five and four-star reviews. If you love Harlan Coban, Tami Hoag, Michael Connelly, or Lee Child, you'll also love Harry Starke. Harry is no Reacher or Bosch clone. He's a force unto himself, but the fans love him. If you like realism, fast-paced, nonstop action, you'll love Blair Howard's highly acclaimed series. Grab this box set of the first three stories now. You won't want to stop listening! Members Reviews: I'm a new Harry Starke fan! This is one of the best values I have ever gotten on Audible. Harry Starke is an interesting character -- part bad ass -- good guy-- and great detective. The novels all have a classic detective flavor similar to "Mike Hammer" "Spenser" or other classic detectives. The plots are in depth and pretty sophisticated --not the usual run of the mill detective stuff. His supporting staff and investigative partners (like Kate) are well developed and referenced in each novel. Sometimes I just like a good who-done-it novel and this is perfect! Three novels for 1 credit is a great bargain. New Detective Classics! What made the experience of listening to The Harry Starke Series: Books 1-3 the most enjoyable? While the location is modern day Chattanooga there is something about these books that take you back to the very best days of Raymond Chandler. What was one of the most memorable moments of The Harry Starke Series: Books 1-3? Finding the body in the bath tub in Book 1 Which character as performed by Tom Lennon was your favorite? Harry. He becomes Harry and you forget you are listening to a narrator at all. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Each individual book, yes. Any additional comments? Will be moving on to the next books in the series now. Hard to put down Would you listen to The Harry Starke Series: Books 1-3 again? Why? Sure, Interesting to see how even though Harry is a fully developed character right from the beginning of book 1, he definitely grows and fills out in each subsequent book. Actually gets even more likable. Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How? Three good plots though Hill House was my favorite. Which scene was your favorite? The finale of Hill House is great! If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? The Spencer of Chattanooga! Any additional comments? The narrator does a really great job. Being all in the first person he really is like listening to the real Harry tell of his adventures. Stories got better as characters were fleshed out Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? No. I don't know anyone else who listens to audio books. Their loss, I know. Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How? I like a great mystery and these were not complex situations but what I enjoyed were the meetings of the minds which went over and over the aspects of the cases and came to a conclusion. Not tingly but just a very enjoyable listen during our summer monsoon storms here in AZ. What does Tom Lennon bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Lennon's accent is great. I have never visited the deep south but I have read that the accent is a little Brooklynish and he added that to his narration.

Unpacking her belongings in her new hometown of Portland, Oregon, herbalist and reformed alchemist Zoe Faust can't help but notice she's picked up a stowaway. Dorian Robert-Houdin is a living, breathing three-and-half-foot gargoyle - not to mention a master of French cuisine - and he needs Zoe's expertise to decipher a centuries-old text. Zoe, who's trying to put her old life behind her, isn't so sure she wants to reopen her alchemical past... until the dead man on her porch leaves her no choice. Includes recipes! Members Reviews: Interesting premise, mediocre story. Any additional comments? I enjoyed Julia Motyka's narration very much. However, the story didn't hold my interest. The pace of the story moved so slowly that by the end I really didn't care who stole the book. If the characters had talked about one more meal or cup of tea...well, I was ready to scream with frustration! A very disappointing end to a promising beginning. She's fictional, so, no, you can't slap her! I wanted to like this, I really did. The premise seemed so promising: an ageless alchemist who's been hiding in plain sight for centuries, a living gargoyle with an mysterious alchemical text and a murder that may or may not have something to do with any of the above. Unfortunately, Zoe Faust is without a doubt the MOST IRRITATING protaganist I've encountered in a long time (and I include Scarlet O'Hara in that list, so that tells you something!). People steamroller right over her at every turn and she just blithely goes on her merry way. The gargoyle appears in her life demanding, not asking, for her help with the mysterious book. Then becomes irate when it is not her first priority. Then, when the book is stolen from her home, berates her for going out for a walk (if it's such a priority, why didn't he safeguard it himself). And he uses her credit card, without her knowledge, to buy an espresso machine and subscription to Le Match (BTW when EVER has a subscription started arriving the next day???). Instead of telling him where to put his precious book, she tells him to ask next time if he wants to buy something and has a cup of tea. A teenage boy breaks into her home and eavesdrops on her & the gargoyle. He, in her presence, openly snoops through her shelves and cupboards. Then attempts to manipulate her into teaching him alchemy. Then RECORDS the gargoyle cooking, so he can prove the gargoyle is real. Then lets himself into her Airstream trailer "looking for a snack." And, instead of sending down the road with a flea in his ear, she bandages the arm he cut breaking in and has a cup of tea. For someone who has lived as long as she has, she is remarkably clueless. And allows far too many liberties as far as I'm concerned. How on earth has she managed to survive as long as she has? There's being agreeable and being a doormat. Zoe is a doormat. And she drinks a lot of tea. There is a LOT of discussion of vegan menus, vegan cooking, vegan food options. And I gather there are recipes at the end of the hardcopy (I haven't gotten to the end yet, so I don't know if they're included in the audiobook recording). There is some interesting information about alchemy, but not a lot. Oh, I forgot about the murder...

He's been "chasing the dime" - doing all it takes to come out first in a technological battle whose victor will make millions. But he can't get the messages for a woman named Lilly out of his head: "Uh, yes, hello, my name is Frank. I'm at the Peninsula. Room six-twelve. So give me a call when you can." Something is wrong. Pierce probes, investigates, and then tumbles through a hole, leaving behind a life driven by work to track down and help a woman he has never met. The world he enters is one of escorts, Web sites, sex, and secret passions. The beautiful Lilly is an object of desire to thousands. To Pierce, she becomes the key that might fix a broken life. But in pursuing Lilly, Pierce has entered a landscape where his success and expertise mean nothing. He is a mark, an outsider, and soon he is also the victim of astonishing violence, the chief suspect in a murder case, and fighting for his life against forces he can barely discern. Critic Reviews: "A grabber from the beginning...utterly compelling." (Booklist) "It's the rare reader who will be able to finger the villain behind all the mayhem." (Publishers Weekly) "Connelly takes what could have been a typical suspense thriller and turns it into something exceptional through nonstop action and surprising twists." (Library Journal) Members Reviews: Nobody Could Be That Stupid That Many Times! This book was recommended to me by a good friend. He was highly complimentary and I've liked most of the Harry Bosch novels so I thought I'd give it a try. The main character in the story makes SO many stupid moves that I started getting so frustrated with him that I couldn't listen to the book for more than 20 minutes without pounding my steering wheel and screaming "NO, You idiot! Don't do that!!" The plot is good, the story is good, the narration is excellent. I give it three stars just for that. If you can handle a character that continually makes idiotic, self destructive decisions then get this book, you won't be disappointed. Our hero is an idiot I found this book very annoying. Our hero, who is supposed to be a PhD chemist, is a total idiot. He makes mistakes no person of normal intelligence would make, such as entering what is obviously a crime scene and leaving his fingerprints all over it. Would you do that? Me neither. I don't require the hero to be a genius, but I would like him to be at least one step up from a potato. Totally Unbelieveable I have enjoyed all of the Michael Connelly books I have read or listened to in the past; this one was a great disappointment. Pierce's total lack of judgement and very rash approach to the problem isn't consistent with the logical mind of an accomplished scientist. I found myself getting angry and could not finish. Michael Connelly's most frustrating book Thanks to the reviews, I left this book till last, over the last six months I have happily listened to all of Michael Connelly's books. They are great, I am a huge fan. However I found this book very frustrating and the first half rather boring.

Criminal Audiobook by Karin Slaughter

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 3681 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Modern Detective Publisher's Summary: Karin Slaughter's new thriller is an epic tale of love, loyalty, and murder that encompasses 40 years, two chillingly similar murder cases, and a good man's deepest secrets. Will Trent is a brilliant agent with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. Newly in love, he is beginning to put a difficult past behind him. Then a local college student goes missing, and he is inexplicably kept off the case by his supervisor and mentor, deputy director Amanda Wagner. Will cannot fathom Amanda's motivation, until the two of them literally collide in an abandoned orphanage they have both been drawn to for different reasons. Decades before - when Will's father was imprisoned for murder - this was his home Flash back nearly 40 years. In the summer Will Trent was born, Amanda Wagner is taking her first steps in the boy's club that is the Atlanta police department. One of her first cases is to investigate a brutal crime in one of the city's worst neighborhoods. Amanda and her partner, Evelyn, are the only ones who seem to care if an arrest is ever made. Now the case that launched Amanda's career has suddenly come back to life, and it is intertwined with the long-held mystery of Will's birth and parentage. And they will each need to face down demons from the past if they are to prevent an even greater terror from being unleashed on Atlanta today. Members Reviews: Explains a lot! For Karin Slaughter fans, this book provides the "backstory" for critical recurring characters, including revelation of the links that are implied in previous books, but not defined. This particular tale, bouncing back and forth from past to present, does a wonderful job of more fully developing the players we thought we knew. And, of course, the reader also is hooked into following the search, through time, for a heinous killer. Narration is excellent. I like to finish the "listening" and, in talking about the book to others, can't remember whether it was one I read or enjoyed on Audible! This book does not disappoint. Best Anti-Drug Campaign Ever.... I think that I've read or listened to most of Slaughter's books, and this one has to be one of the most bone-chilling. I had thought she was softening in her writing, as I hadn't read anything this disturbing since KissCut. (one of the original series that this series spun off from) I am enjoying the progression of Will's story, and hints that Sara's future in the books is assured. I have to admit, after being thrown Amanda in her iron/steel character, it was really hard to reconcile hearing her as a young, uncertain rookie. I had dropped this series for a while, and now I'm glad that I picked it back up again. I will be keeping an eye out for the next one. Best Will Trent Book I pretty much devoured the Will Trent books. Slaughter is really good...I mean wow, she is so descriptive and really masterful at weaving the lives of the main characters throughout the series. My only beef is that...the narrator of Fallen was horrible. I didn't quite care for the change-up from a male to female voice in the earlier books but could understand why the change was necessary in conjunction with the themes and central story tellers in each book. It was the change from one woman to another woman between Broken and Fallen...I really didn't like that at all.

Eve Dallas and her partner, Peabody, are following up on a brutal, senseless crime - an elderly grocery owner killed by three stoned punks for nothing more than kicks and snacks. And for the first time, Peabody is primary detective on the case, which means she has to get used to a new level of authority and responsibility. Good thing she learned the ropes from a master like Eve. But after rounding up the perps, Peabody stumbles upon a much trickier situation. Determined to start working out as hard as she grills suspects, she chooses to do it at the old, rarely-used gym at Central. After a grueling workout, she squeezes into one of the narrow shower stalls, happy to have the place to herself. Just after she shuts the water off, the gym door clatters open - and while she cringes inside the stall, trying not to make a sound, Peabody overhears two fellow officers, Garnet and Oberman, arguing. References are made to delivering product, and a house in the islands, and someone named Keener whos supposed to look like an OD. It doesnt take long for a naked and vulnerable Peabody to realize that both officers are crooked - guilty not just of corruption but of murder as well. Fortunately, the two clear out of the locker room without realizing there was a witness. Eve Dallas may have trained Peabody well - but this is too dangerous for one person to take on alone. Now Peabody, Eve, and her husband, Roarke, must try to get the hard evidence they need to bring the dirty cops down - knowing all the while that the two have already killed to keep their secret, and are no doubt willing to do it again. Members Reviews: Treachery in Death Another great story in the death series. Peabody played a greater role in this story and new character were introduced and I think at least one will show up in future stories. I think Robb did a good job showing the feelings of betrayal that police officers have toward a crooked officer. The past was fast and Susan Ericksen does a great job reading the story. Can not wait for the next in the series. Best book ever in J.D. Robb's Death Series Treachery in Death is my favorite of all J.D. Robb's Death Series books. I have listened to them all in and out of order. Thank you J.D. Robb for keeping Eve Dallas & Roarke alive with a new offering each year. In this book I feel J.D. Robb really lets us know each character to a fuller depth. From Eve, Roarke, Peabody, to the Chief, I feel I know them as if they were friends or family. The story is great and I loved every minute of it. I did not want it to end. Susan Ericksen makes these books come alive. She has got to be one of the best female narrator's of all time. I loved this new addition to the 21st Century's "In Death" Series. Thank you J.D. Robb. Outstanding Fast-paced and full of intrigue, Treachery in Death hits all the right notes. There's something for everyone who enjoys the In Death series: great character development and interactions, humor, action and some wonderful Eve/Roarke moments.

In the backwoods of suburban Atlanta, where Sara's patient was found, local police have set up their investigation. But Georgia Bureau of Investigation detective Will Trent doesn't wait for the go-ahead from his boss - he plunges through police lines, through the brooding woods, and single-handedly exposes a hidden house of horror. Then he finds another victim. Wresting the case away from the local police chief, Will and his partner, Faith Mitchell - a woman keeping explosive secrets of her own - are called into a related investigation. Another woman has been snatched. For the two cops out on the hunt, for the doctor trying to bring her patient back to life, the truth hits like a hammer: The killer's torture chamber has been found, but the killer is still at work. Members Reviews: SERIES IN WRONG ORDER!!!!!! Love the books, great series.....but I was disappointed to listen to Broken before Undone. Read/listen to Undone first. Broken happens after the Undone novel. After reading Triptych and Fractured, I was excited to start Broken. Right from the beginning, I felt like I missed a book. I went back to the series list, just to make sure I downloaded the right book. Audible, please fix. Triptych, Fractured, Undone, Broken. Starting Criminal now. Slaughter's got it goin on! Once again I flew through this one. By now, this is my fourth venture into Slaughter World, I've become so engrossed in the lives of her characters that I have to finish the entire series. Why only 4 stars? Well my first 3 experiences were homeruns but this one is a solid double. Many thanks to the reviewer tip that alerted us that the order was wrong. I liked the narrator, but she's in competition with 3 superior performances. If you like a really good mystery with great writing and characters you can identify with, you'll love this one! Too grisly and gory for me. What did you like best about Undone? What did you like least? Narrator was quite good. Main characters were realistic people and not Would you ever listen to anything by Karin Slaughter again? Unlikely. The book description and other reviews did not allude to the sadistic, ugly narrative. The best This is the best in the Will Trent series. Next is broken I can't wait to start it. Loved it! Where does Undone rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? This is a gripping tale. Number 3 in the series and the best so far. What was one of the most memorable moments of Undone? I like the introduction of "Faith" and "Sarah," both of whom are written as realistic women. The "Angie" character is a bit too extreme to seem real. Have you listened to any of Natalie Rosss other performances before? How does this one compare? Loved her narration. I'd put her up there with Divina Porter that narrates the Outlander books. I wish she would do all of the Will Trent books. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? I kept finding things to do so that I could listen. Any additional comments? The narrator really made the story so much more compelling.

Title: Brimstone Subtitle: Pendergast, Book 5 Author: Douglas Preston, Lincoln Child Narrator: Scott Brick Format: Unabridged Length: 19 hrs and 42 mins Language: English Release date: 12-17-11 Publisher: Hachette Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 3283 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Modern Detective Publisher's Summary: Art critic Jeremy Grove is found dead, his face frozen in a mask of terror. His body temperature is grotesquely high; he is discovered in a room barricaded from the inside; the smell of brimstone is everywhere... and the unmistakable imprint of a claw is burned into the wall. As more bodies are discovered - their only connection the bizarre but identical manner of death - the world begins to wonder if the Devil has, in fact, come to collect his due. Teaming with Police Officer Vincent D'Agosta (The Relic), Agent Pendergast is determined to solve this case that appears to defy everything except supernatural logic. Members Reviews: Be very aware of Pendergast Where does Brimstone rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? I would have to put this book in the top ten of all I have listened to so far. Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How? The plot kept me intrigued from the very start when Pendergast was introduced in tennis shorts to when he found Vincent and started to depend on him. This plot is unlike any I've listened to before in the way it runs two senerios at the same time. Which character as performed by Scott Brick was your favorite? Pendergast Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? When Pendergast acted as the decoy so his partner could escape. I'm new to the Preston Child but I'm hooked Harry Bosch has always been one of my favorites. I'm at the end of the series but I hopeful there will be addition stories released. Until then I'm in withdrawal searching for another series. I think I have found it. I could always tell when I was hooked. I listen mostly when driving so when I pull into the drive way an sit to keep listening. I'm hooked. It's been awhile but I find that I sitting listening and can't wait to get back into the car to see what going to happen next. Perfect! It was a mess about to become a F## mess. YOU GOT QUITE A SENSE OF THEATRE This is the fifth book in the series, but it is okay to start here. They bring back some characters from previous books, but it is not like they do much character development. Most of the people in the book are there to be straight guys to Pendergast. Even if you don't like the story there are some interesting facts about Alfred Noble, Italy and spontaneous human combustion. The Noble story was especially good. I liked this book better then the previous two. Relic is still the best of the group. A statement was made by a character that he does not read books written today because of the sex and violence, he would just read his bible. I have heard this before. The old testament is full of sex and violence. VEGAS AND L.A. WERE MERELY A SIDE SHOW TO NEW YORK. Another small town and small town people take a hit in this book. At least the whole book was not a put down and they kind of apologized for saying it, but still said it. This book had a real made for TV movie feel to it. I am not a fan of Brick, but he does a fine job in this one. Matter of fact he is perfect for the writing style of these two guys. Simply another great Pendergast novel. Another great read. Not the best one I've read of the series, but definitely worth the purchase. The latter books are better than the first ones I think.

Robb Narrator: Susan Ericksen Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 59 mins Language: English Release date: 05-15-13 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 1588 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Modern Detective Publisher's Summary: At exactly 7:30 p.m., Walter Pettibone arrived home to over a hundred friends and family shouting, "surprise!" It was his birthday. Although he had known about the planned event for weeks, the real surprise was yet to come. At 8:45 p.m., a woman with emerald eyes and red hair handed him a glass of champagne. One sip of birthday bubbly, and he was dead. The woman's name is Julie Dockport. No one at the party knew who she was. But Detective Eve Dallas remembers her all too well. Eve was personally responsible for her incarceration nearly ten years ago. And now, let out on good behavior, she still has nothing but bad intentions. It appears she wants to meet Dallas again - in a reunion neither will forget... Critic Reviews: "Edgy [and] sexy." (Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: Great Backstory for Roarke! I loved the side plot with Roarke even more than the main murder, which is becoming more and more of a thing as the series progresses. The murders? Interesting. The side characters? Engrossing. The voices are back Would you consider the audio edition of Reunion in Death to be better than the print version? Love Susan Ericksen's narration! This is a re-recording of one of the first audio books in the series (no, they weren't done in order) and the voices of the characters are what we've grown to know and love. Who was your favorite character and why? Eve, of course. Why, because she's Eve Dallas. What about Susan Ericksens performance did you like? Everything! She's very good. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? The hotels in Dallas.. the upgraded one from her childhood, and Roarke's. Any additional comments? I heard a year ago Susan Ericksen was going to re-record a number of the earliest recorded books, I think starting with Seduction, saying when the recording started, the characters were new to her and didn't know them as well. So good to see the releases are now coming.. Seduction, Reunion, Purity and now Portrait. Good move Brilliance audio!! The Best author for Scii-fi and Romance Nora Roberts (writting as JD Robb) delivers yet again in creating a realistic sense of what the future may hold while engaging the reader in a fascinating detective story. Flying cars, pedestrians on glides instead of sidewalks and the craving for a "tube of pepsi" or a meal from the "auto-chef" are all integrated seamlessly into the narrative. Like the best police partners, the narrator too does an EXCELLENT job allowing the reader to imagine each character. She is one of the few narrators for whom I am a groupie and would listen to any story she performs.

Vargus Narrator: Kate Marcin Format: Unabridged Length: 16 hrs and 26 mins Language: English Release date: 04-20-17 Publisher: Smarmy Press Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 319 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Modern Detective Publisher's Summary: Her body is broken. Wrapped in plastic. Dumped on the side of the road. She is the first. There will be more. A serial killer stalks women in rural Ohio. He is deranged but brilliant, known only by the grotesque nickname the media has given him - The Doll Parts Killer. The name is apt. He dismembers his victims and leaves them in garbage bags in public places. A residential neighborhood. Next to a roller rink. Behind a Burger King. The investigation is a disaster. No physical evidence. Unreliable witnesses. To make matters worse, the FBI has lost contact with the star profiler working the case. Now rookie agent Violet Darger gets the most important assignment of her career. When Darger travels to Ohio, she brings along demons of her own. Her last case ended in tragedy. The death of a 16 year old girl. Darger still has nightmares about the bloody scene, still has panic attacks when she remembers. The trauma shattered her core beliefs. Now she faces a killer unlike anything she's seen. Aggressive. Territorial. If she fails, more will die. He will kill again and again. Will this case restore her faith? Or push her over the edge? The victims harbor dark secrets. The clues twist and writhe and refuse to keep still. And the killer watches the investigation on the nightly news, gleeful to relive the violence, knowing that he can't be stopped. Members Reviews: Exciting Thriller I enjoyed listening to this exciting story with twists and turns at every corner! Great book! What made the experience of listening to Dead End Girl the most enjoyable? The suspense, and I love books that have a few of couple narrators. Just so we have an insight from the killer.... What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!) It was good, I wished so many people didn't have to die. What does Kate Marcin bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Listening to a book gives you the freedom to listen to it whenever. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? The ending, of course. Excellent book! Lots of twists and turns, fast paced. Looking forward to reading more from these authors! Just OK This was ok, nothing special. Nothing sucked me in. The performance was great. I liked how the killers voice was always different and I knew it was him from the get go. It was the story itself that was lacking. I always want to know the whys... I don't feel like I got that with this book. I'd really give this 3.5 STARS but no one let's you do halfs. Good Story, Hope for a Series First off let me say this is not a fast paced action filled thriller. The story is long and has a slower pace with lots of character development. I can see this becoming a series and I look forward to another one if it does. The pace of the book reminded me of a Penn Cage novel. It could have been much shorter but I find I miss the characters after getting to know them. The narrator is outstanding. She handles both male and female voice with, great tone, expression and emotion. I'm glad a gave it a listen.

Title: The Dirt on Ninth Grave Author: Darynda Jones Narrator: Lorelei King Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 11 mins Language: English Release date: 01-12-16 Publisher: Macmillan Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 3273 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Modern Detective Publisher's Summary: This audiobook includes a wonderful dedication to the longtime narrator of the series, Lorelei King, read by the author. In a small village in New York, Charley Davidson is living as Jane Doe, a girl with no memory of who she is or where she came from. So when she is working at a diner and slowly begins to realize she can see dead people, she's more than a little taken aback. Stranger still are the people entering her life. They seem to know things about her. Things they hide with lies and half truths. Soon she senses something far darker. A force that wants to cause her harm, she is sure of it. Her saving grace comes in the form of a new friend she feels she can confide in and the fry cook, a devastatingly handsome man whose smile is breathtaking and touch is scalding. He stays close, and she almost feels safe with him around. But no one can outrun their past, and the more lies that swirl around her - even from her new and trusted friends - the more disoriented she becomes, until she is confronted by a man who claims to have been sent to kill her. Sent by the darkest force in the universe. A force that absolutely will not stop until she is dead. Thankfully she has a rottweiler. But that doesn't help in her quest to find her identity and recover what she's lost. That will take all her courage and a touch of the power she feels flowing like electricity through her veins. She almost feels sorry for him. The devil in blue jeans. The disarming fry cook who lies with every breath he takes. She will get to the bottom of what he knows if it kills her. Or him. Either way. Members Reviews: Wonderful, Hilarious, Excellent And I havent even finished the book yet, so i haven't figured out what the title means yet. The author & the narrator are the best. There is mystery & suspense too. But I couldnt put this book down it made me laugh so much & left me with happy glow all day. Line after line of super comedy, made me think this authors real talent is being a stage comedian as well being great at improvisation. I keep thinking the author must be a family member who has experienced all the funny lines I have ever heard in my life. So cool! Ok OK I will stop now because we all know too great of a review will always back fire on some people. But for me this book could not have been improved upon. It gave my spirit a lift & my funny bone some great exercise. Warning: Do not try & read this at night even with earphones, unless you can laugh without being heard by the rest of the family! Wow just wow Great story telling. Best so far. I was so tempted to listen ahead because I just couldn't figure it out. So worth the wait though. Another winner!!!! Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Abso-freaking-lutely!!!!!!! What was one of the most memorable moments of The Dirt on Ninth Grave? When Charley first tied up Reyes. Have you listened to any of Lorelei Kings other performances before? How does this one compare? She's the reason I found Darynda Jones's books. I love her work...all of her work.

Title: Takedown Twenty Subtitle: A Stephanie Plum Novel Author: Janet Evanovich Narrator: Lorelei King Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 12 mins Language: English Release date: 11-19-13 Publisher: Random House Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 2750 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Modern Detective Publisher's Summary: Stephanie Plum is back in all-new adventure from #1 bestselling author Janet Evanovich. Critic Reviews: What do the New Jersey Mob, bingo, and giraffes have in common? Stephanie Plum and crew. Narrator Lorelei King performs the latest zany antics of Stephanie, Lula, and Connie, along with some sizzling smooches from Morelli and the ever hot Ranger. As Plum goes after the bail-jumping Uncle Sunny, a mobster who is Morelli's godfather, King's performance kicks into high gear, switching accents from Jersey to Italian without a hitch. Sleuthing for Stephanie includes a little black dress, funerals, and bingo. And the giraffe? He's the comic relief in this silly mystery flawlessly delivered King with a different voice for each character--except the giraffe. Combine King's vocal acting with Stephanie's adventures, and you laugh through the whole audiobook. (AudioFile) Members Reviews: Still funny Stephanie is the quirky friend I've loved for many years. But her stories seem to get shorter and the funny stuff is getting a bit worn. Let's ask Janet E. if she could take two years off and get us a great juicy plot that's a 12 hour read. New jokes, some old characters and some new characters mixed in. Who is with me? An improvment over the last -- but not by much This story opens with a giraffe and a tranquilizer dart in a thugs butt. Just when you thought you seen it all with Stephanie, you don't come close. This novel is a good improvement over the last. Lula is in fine form with some excellent one liners. All of the central characters are back and so is the love triangle between Ranger, Morelli and Stephanie. This particular story opens up very slowly and even in the middle of the novel, there is not much life to it. The sad fact is that this series in long in the tooth for those of us who have read them all. Evanovich does a reasonable job making this novel stand-alone. That is, if you read book 20, you will at least follow all of the ins and outs of the story and appreciate the characters. Evanovich needs to find a new way to breath life into this series and make some decisions for crying out loud. Or perhaps, a mega size novel to wrap it all up and start a new series with different characters. I am luke warm on this Takedown Twenty; an improvement over the last I admit; but not too much. Another Excellent Evanovich Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Absolutely. The reader and story keeps you engaged What did you like best about this story? After 20 books, it's still interesting. Which character as performed by Lorelei King was your favorite? I love the way she conveys Stephanie. She is so relatable. Slowly but surely getting better This book was entertaining. Yes, the series has become pretty predictable but it still makes me laugh out loud. I enjoy when Ranger's cars get blown up and/or totaled. I like when Bella gives Stephanie the eye. I like that there is a love triangle. Joe and Ranger are great characters and if Stephanie finally picks one, the other will probably fade away or maybe get his own series. King does her usual great job. I can't imagine anyone else as Stephanie. Not as amusing as her other books What would have made Takedown Twenty better? I have read all of the author's other books but was disappointed in this one.

With the help of a mysterious stranger, Joe lays his life on the line to protect an innocent girl before a wave of violence surges over the Bighorn Mountains. Members Reviews: I can not seem to put it down! Where does Winterkill rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? This was a good story. To begin with I did not think that I would be a fan of CJ Box, but I really enjoy his Joe Pickett series. What was one of the most memorable moments of Winterkill? The explosion of the compound and the death of little April. Which character as performed by David Chandler was your favorite? Nate Rama..... I enjoyed his characterization. I hope we see or hear from Nate again. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? Both. Any additional comments? Joe appears to be a good guy who tries to do the right thing regardless of the outcome. Very, very, very few people live life this way. CYA Joe Pritchard game warden, husband, and father steps out to do his job and law enforcements job in his corner of the world. Along the way he deals with a lot of good guys that are truly bad, and a lot of bad Guys that are not at all as bad as the good guys say the are. A great story about honor and doing what you say you are going to do Outdoor winter Wonderland Great story and descriptions. love the series. Characters are realistic and true to character. listening to next book. winter kill loved this book and now on to book 4. Easy and interesting read while I drive my truck down the road A Government-Hating Survivalists Group This is one of those stories that left me feeling empty. I can't declare that I enjoyed the story nor can I declare that I hated it. The characters are realistically drawn and the story was fitting to the circumstances. However, after finishing the story, I felt that something was missing, or incomplete. Or maybe the story was just not my cup of tea. I've listened to and liked other CJ Box stories but this one fell flat for me.

His family couldn't be more proud. He always was the smart one. The Cousin: Joe Morelli Joe Morelli, Dom Rizzi, and Dom's sister, Loretta, are cousins. Morelli is a cop, Rizzi robs banks, and Loretta is a single mother waiting tables at the firehouse. The all-American family. The Complications: Murder, kidnapping, destruction of personal property, and acid reflux Less than a week after Dom's release from prison, Joe Morelli has shadowy figures breaking into his house and dying in his basement. He's getting threatening messages, Loretta is kidnapped, and Dom is missing. The Catastrophe: Moonman Morelli hires Walter "Mooner" Dunphy, stoner and "inventor" turned crime fighter, to protect his house.

Morelli has his own ideas regarding Stephanie's evening activities. The Conclusion: Only the fearless should listen to Fourteen. Thrills, chills, and incontinence may result. Critic Reviews: "Stephanie Plum is a bounty hunter with a great sense of humor that balances out her attitude and worse luck...like Dorothy Parker with a lousy job and a Jersey accent." ( Time)"Evanovich's series is as addictive as Fritos...Evanovich serves up consistently craveable goodies." ( People) Members Reviews: A Wonderful Listen I have listened to the entire series. #14 is very,very cute and lots of fun. If you were a bit disappointed with 12 and 13, give this one a try.! She's back! I have to admit that I took a long break from the Stephanie Plum series. Somewhere around 8 or 9 I felt that the stories were getting to be too far-fetched, and the characters just too silly. It was like Evanovich was trying too hard to be funny, just for the sake of being funny. So for the last year or two I've been enjoying a couple of other series. However, when I saw that she was getting ready to release #18, I thought I might want to get caught up. I picked it back up at #13, and am delighted to report that I am enthusiastically on #16 in about one month's time! (Atlanta has a lot of traffic) Look out, boys and girls, Stephanie is BACK! Lorelei King's performances have never faltered. She is as animated as ever with her endless store of voices and characters. Expect to see a few new ones, and don't be surprised when a few of our old time favorites pop back up! Fearless Fourteen This was a classic Evonovich. The book was very entertaining, and included her usual humor. I really enjoyed the new characters in this book. Their personalities were really developed. Also, the reader does a very nice job creating different voices for the characters. One of her best! If you thought Stephanie Plum was getting a bit stale, this one will pull you back in. I'm not going to give anything away.

Obsession in Death Audiobook by J. D. Robb

Robb Narrator: Susan Ericksen Format: Unabridged Length: 13 hrs and 23 mins Language: English Release date: 02-10-15 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 3973 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Modern Detective Publisher's Summary: Lieutenant Eve Dallas walks the thin line between love and hate in this fabulous 40th thriller from #1 New York Times bestseller J. D. Robb.... Eve Dallas has solved a lot of high-profile murders for the NYPSD and gotten a lot of media. She - and her billionaire husband - are getting accustomed to being objects of attention, of gossip, of speculation. But now Eve has become the object of one person's obsession. Someone who finds her extraordinary, and thinks about her every hour of every day. Who believes the two of them have a special relationship. Who would kill for her - again and again.... With a murderer reading meanings into her every move, handling this case will be a delicate - and dangerous - psychological dance. And Eve knows that underneath the worship and admiration, a terrible threat lies in wait. Because the beautiful lieutenant is not at all grateful for these bloody offerings from her "true and loyal friend." And in time, idols always fall.... Members Reviews: Expecting in Death? The evolution of Eve Dallas has been amazing throughout the In Death series. The first book's reluctant friendship with Mavis started Eve down the road to relationships that she never could have imagined. This 40th installment puts people close to her at risk, forcing Eve to recognize the surprising number of people she cares about and who care about her. The villain is interesting but not central to this story -- the relationships are the focus. J.D. Robb's stories standing alone make great books, but Susan Ericksen brings out the true excellence with her character voices and dramatic reading. I really enjoy what her voices add to the series. With only a couple of exceptions, I can listen to every book in this series over and over. The entire series is built around a strong woman who has spent her life not just recognizing the difference between good and evil, but consciously battling evil and adopting the good that she finds in others. Her ability to adopt the good she finds can be painful and difficult for Eve, but it is just as often funny and endearing. This characteristic is the foundation for an excellent and long-lived series, and the murder, mystery and suspense only spice it up. Robb's vision of the future and the quirky humor really make this series stand out. And since the birth of Bella Eve, I can't help but see a hilarious pregnancy and baby in the future for Eve and Roarke, but likely no cows. Addicted in Death A fantastic #40. I listen to books whenever I am not working or sitting down - probably more than is healthy, but my greatest addiction is to this series. From time to time I wander back through the volumes and they never disappoint - even on a second or third listen. They are smart and funny and touching. Okay, so they are about homicides - but the misdirected puns and fear of cows and sheep never fail to make me laugh out loud. I am not otherwise a big fan of Nora Roberts, but this series never fails. Major credit goes to Susan Ericksen for her phenomenal development of each character's unique voice. Absolutely fantastic! Classic Eve Dallas. This installment takes a page from some of the earlier books in the series. The "Unsub" remains a mystery to both Eve and the rest through much of the narrative. My speculations as to the identity of the perpetrator had me chasing red-herrings.

Dead bodies are showing up in shallow graves on the empty construction lot of Vincent Plum Bail Bonds. No one is sure who the killer is, or why the victims have been offed, but what is clear is that Stephanies name is on the killers list. Short on time to find evidence proving the killers identity, Stephanie faces further complications when her family and friends decide that its time for her to choose between her longtime off-again-on-again boyfriend, Trenton cop Joe Morelli, and the bad boy in her life, security expert Ranger. Stephanies mom is encouraging Stephanie to dump them both and choose a former high school football star whos just returned to town. Stephanies sidekick, Lula, is encouraging Stephanie to have a red-hot boudoir bake-off. And Grandma Bella, Morellis old-world grandmother, is encouraging Stephanie to move to a new state when she puts the eye on Stephanie. With a cold-blooded killer after her, a handful of hot men, and a capture list that includes a dancing bear and a senior citizen vampire, Stephanies life looks like its about to go up in smoke. Critic Reviews: "No less than her plotting, Evanovichs characterizations are models of screwball artistry. . . . The intricate plot machinery of her comic capers is fueled by inventive twists. (The New York Times) Chutzpah and sheer comic inventiveness.... The Evanovich/Plum books [are] good fun. (The Washington Post) Members Reviews: Been there read that! I had given up on Janet and the Stephanie novels cause they were so redundant. I have been a loyal follower since the series started. I was taking a short solo business trip thought this would be lite easy listen. Well, it was so disappointing. I could have written this book. The only thing that is worth it is the excellent reader Lorelei and how she makes all the characters come alive. But that didn't even to it for me this time. Janet, next one needs to be Ending Eighteen! Thanks for the ride though. Stephanie Plum Fan While a fan of the series, it appears Janet Evanovich has gotten lazy in her writing. She is reusing lines from previous books and not developing the characters. Also, no longer developing the scenes between Joe and/or Ranger and Stephanie. Lots of obvious opportunities in this book for more details especially with the interaction between these primary characters, but all opportunities were passed up. In fact, some situations screamed for more explanation/reaction, but were ignored. Unfortunate, as these relationships are what we want to read about. Not even Ok. I have been a huge Janet Evanovich fan since discovering the series in 2005 and reading everything I could get my hands on by her. I have read MOST of her books (and loved them) BUT this book was not even 'ok.' It seems Janet got LAZY writting this book. I feel like I wasted my credit and my time by buying & listening to it. This book just sucks and did not leave me wanting to read another one in the Stephanie series. Inane 12 chapters into this book - I quit. It is stupid, has little plot and just doesn't hold my interest at all. The reader is very good, doing a lot of voices but the story isn't worth my time listening to it.

Robb Narrator: Susan Ericksen Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 50 mins Language: English Release date: 02-17-10 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 2170 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Modern Detective Publisher's Summary: Bart Minnock, founder of the computer gaming giant U-Play, enters his private playroom, and eagerly cant wait to lose himself in an imaginary world, to play the role of a sword-wielding warrior king, in his companys latest top-secret project, Fantastical. The next morning, he is found in the same locked room, in a pool of blood, his head separated from his body. It is the most puzzling case Eve Dallas has ever faced, and it is not a game. Lt. Eve Dallas is having as much trouble figuring out how Bart Minnock was murdered as who did the murdering. The victims girlfriend seems sincerely grief-stricken, and his quirky-but-brilliant partners at U-Play appear shocked as well. No one seemed to have a problem with the enthusiastic, high-spirited millionaire of course, success can attract jealousy, and gaming, like any business, has its fierce rivalries and dirty tricksas Eves husband, Roarke, one of U-Plays competitors, knows well. But Minnock was not naïve, and he knew how to fight back in the real world as well as the virtual one. Eve and her team are about to enter the next level of police work, in a world where fantasy is the ultimate seductionand the price of defeat is death. Members Reviews: Another Home Run! JD Robb knocks it out of the park once again! This book provides a great mystery with an interesting twist while allowing us the pleasure of seeing this fantastic cast of characters interact and evolve in their relationships. It amazes me that this author has managed to write 30+ installments in this series without compromising the quality and integrity of its characters or storyline (take note, Janet Evanovich!) If you are already a fan, you wont' be disappointed. If you are new to the series, I recommend starting at the beginning with "Naked in Death" and enjoying the ride! By the way, Susan Ericksen IS the voice of Eve Dallas. She, too, has done a great job with narration and character distinction throughout this entire series. Great Addition to the Series Since creating the Eve Dallas series, J.D. Robb (Nora Roberts) has made each new book in the series express growth in the characters and overall story of their lives. This book continues that tradition. The growth element in this book examines what "friendship" means to different people. The author twines this thoughtful and accurate assessment with a great 2060 E-game science fiction plot line. The detail she uses when writing about potential technology in the future makes the story so plausable -- it makes you excited to see those things actually created. I have read many complete series by different authors in sci-fi, fantasy, suspense, historical fiction, etc. All to often the characters remain mostly the same as they experience different events in new books. In this series, the characters grow, struggle with their less than stellar qualities, open their hearts to the risk of caring about others,... in other words...they evolve just like real people do in their own lives if their not sleep walking. There are many wonderful things in the way these stories are crafted, but this one aspect puts this series at the top of my list. They're back! After a more subdued showing in Kindred, Eve, Roarke and the whole gang are back in top form in a book that includes some laugh-out-loud exchanges, romantic interludes and an intriguing mystery.

Title: Eyes of Prey Subtitle: The Lucas Davenport Series, Book 3 Author: John Sandford Narrator: Richard Ferrone Format: Unabridged Length: 14 hrs and 6 mins Language: English Release date: 04-09-12 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 2010 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Modern Detective Publisher's Summary: The Prey novels by Pulitzer prize-winning journalist John Sandford consistently make the best seller lists, but they are not for the faint of heart. Featuring Minneapolis Lieutenant Lucas Davenport, these thrillers are raw, graphic, and impossible to put down. In Eyes of Prey, a depressed and unfocused Davenport takes on a macabre case, tracking down a serial killer who maims the eyes of his victims after he has murdered them. Members Reviews: Sí. Oui. Yup. Uh huh. Oh hell yeah.Yes. What a fun, scary romp through Lucas Davenport's chase to catch his creepiest arch enemy. Highly recommend! One of Sandford's Best If you could sum up Eyes of Prey in three words, what would they be? Chilling, Captivating, Intoxicating What was one of the most memorable moments of Eyes of Prey? The book was loaded with memorable moments. The name of "Bekker" will always bring a shudder. What about Richard Ferrones performance did you like? Ferrone is the perfect Davenport! He gives an articulate and stimulating read. Any additional comments? This was my first Sandford read. It scared me to death and I loved it! I am working my way through all his books now, but this remains vivid in my mind. Lucas Davenport, #1 reason to move to Minnesota! Where does Eyes of Prey rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? Easily top 2 or 3. Lucas Davenport, John Corey & Jack Reacher are always 1-2-3! Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How? Edge of my seat ... and standing up! Clever, convoluted plot ... strangers on a train ... and WHO is Loverboy?! What about Richard Ferrones performance did you like? Richard Ferrone IS the voice of Lucas Davenport. I think he must enjoy reading them as much as we enjoy listening. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? Lucas hanging on to all he holds dear ... while his guns are calling him from the basement. Any additional comments? This is a tremendous series that everyone should add to their wish lists. Good read I personally love books that just grab you from the 1st moment you pick them up, but unfortunately this book didn't do that to me. It was around the last 3 chapters that I got hooked and couldn't wait to see what happens. I'm going to continue to read this series because I don't like to leave a series unfinished if I can help it, but hopefully the rest of the series is epic :) Eyes are all Telling Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Most definitely. John Sandford's, Eyes of Prey, is a wonderful listen. The way he writes is awesome. His character's all have their place in his novel's. Look at the blue eye on the cover and you can't resist reading this book. They say the cover of a book tells how good the book will be. I am one to look at the cover and make a judgment about reading a book but I also read the plot and reviews, too. However, ALL of John Sandford's books are excellent, even if the cover isn't to my liking. What did you like best about this story? The story made me want to keep listening until the end. Which character as performed by Richard Ferrone was your favorite? The man, Lucas Davenport. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? I would get a smirk on my face at times, a little giggle once in awhile.

The Sixth Man Audiobook by David Baldacci

Title: The Sixth Man Author: David Baldacci Narrator: Ron McLarty, Orlagh Cassidy Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 36 mins Language: English Release date: 04-19-11 Publisher: Hachette Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 3861 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Modern Detective Publisher's Summary: Edgar Roy - an alleged serial killer held in a secure, fortress-like Federal Supermax facility-is awaiting trial. He faces almost certain conviction. Sean King and Michelle Maxwell are called in by Roy's attorney, Sean's old friend and mentor Ted Bergin, to help work the case. But their investigation is derailed before it begins-en route to their first meeting with Bergin, Sean and Michelle find him murdered. It is now up to them to ask the questions no one seems to want answered: Is Roy a killer? Who murdered Bergin? With help from some surprising allies, they continue to pursue the case. But the more they dig into Roy's past, the more they encounter obstacles, half-truths, dead-ends, false friends, and escalating threats from every direction. Their persistence puts them on a collision course with the highest levels of the government and the darkest corners of power. In a terrifying confrontation that will push Sean and Michelle to their limits, the duo may be permanently parted. Members Reviews: One of my favorite Baldacci Books I usually always love David Baldacci books and this was one of my favorites. The only problem I had was the female narration of Michelle Maxwell's character. To me, she sounded like a whining, southern grandmother not the tough as nails charachter Michelle seems to be. I am not sure I ever got over the narration of her charachter (usually bad narration kills a book for me) but the story was good enough to get over this hurdle. I do, however, think they should look for someone with a more "crisp" no-nonsense voice. Good story, terrible narrator of female part Would you try another book from David Baldacci and/or Ron McLarty and Orlagh Cassidy ? Yes, I've listened to 3 others and enjoyed them much more How could the performance have been better? They added a second narrator for the female parts. She's horrible! It ruins the entire performance. Was The Sixth Man worth the listening time? Barely due to the aforementioned duel narrator disaster. Another good book wrecked by terrible narrator It seems that good narration is hard to find. Ron McLarty is great here, but this is really co-narrated with Orlagh Cassidy, who seems to be more interested in 'pronouncing' than in speaking. The overly affected dialects are very distracting and even jarring. It sounds more like an 'acting practice, vocal rehearsal, over-emphasize the vowels' session than a telling of a story. It's too bad that it couldn't be just McLarty reading. Sigh. One more credit wasted. Sean King and Michelle My Southern Belle? The female narrator on this recording makes it almost impossible to listen to. She imparts a weird Southern accent to Michelle that is completely wrong for her character. Somebody needs to be fired... I'm not even 20 minutes into the book and I'm already fighting to continue. What on earth was wrong with Ron McLarty's solo work on David Baldacci's previous novels? Why ruin it with the horribly executed female character narration and not even mention said failed attempt before I paid for the audio book? I am disappointed. The only reason this gets three stars is because the story has me intrigued, however it looks like I'm going to have to wait to see if the local library's CD set is also ruined by this...

Celebrity in Death Audiobook by J. D. Robb

Robb Narrator: Susan Ericksen Format: Unabridged Length: 13 hrs and 54 mins Language: English Release date: 02-21-12 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 2846 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Modern Detective Publisher's Summary: Her career in homicide has taken her into the darkest depths of New York Citys underground - and sometimes Lieutenant Eve Dallas feels more comfortable in those kinds of places than in the high-rise, high-society world of her billionaire husband, Roarke. But while shes no party girl, shes managing to have a reasonably good time at the celebrity-packed bash celebrating the debut of The Icove Agenda. This time its Eve, not Roarke, whos a guest of honor, since the film is based on one of her famous cases. Her partner, Peabody, is practically giddy over rubbing shoulders with Hollywood royalty. Eve, on the other hand, is more likely to roll her eyes than have stars in them. But she has to admit its a little spooky seeing the actress playing her, who looks almost like her long-lost twin. Not as unsettling, though, as seeing K. T. Harris, the actress who plays Peabody - drowned in the lap pool on the roof of the directors luxury building. Talented but rude, and widely disliked, K.T. had made an embarrassing scene during dinner. She clearly liked being the center of attention. Now shes at the center of a crime scene - and Eve is more than ready to get out of her high heels and strap on her holster, to step into the role she was born to play: cop. Members Reviews: Susan Ericksen is amazing! Would you consider the audio edition of Celebrity in Death to be better than the print version? I've always found that the audio versions of the J.D. Robb books are more enjoyable to listen to over read due to Ericksen's narration. What did you like best about this story? Such a great, fun story (aside from the pesky murders). After a few darker entries into this series, this book really brings out what you love about the characters involved and I caught myself laughing out loud more than once. What does Susan Ericksen bring to the story that you wouldn???t experience if you just read the book? Susan Ericksen really outdoes herself on this one. Any potential pitfalls with the character v. actor voices confusing the listener are non-existent (I especially thought the Rourke v. non-Rourke voices are very well done). She's such a pleasure to listen to. Another score for J.D. Robb! I'm always waiting for the next installment of the In Death series, and as soon as it is possible I download it. I simply love it! The narration by Susan Ericksen is great. She does a great work distinguishing the voices of the characters, and after so many books is great to hear them back... It is one more good book for this series. Another Winner! Not a bad one in the bunch and this was no exception. I love this series, I love the narrator. Only bad thing is now I probably have to wait a year for another one. Awesome I absolutely love the characters in this series & this book does not disappoint! Great job J.D. Robb & Susan Ericksen is a superb narrator!!! Highly recommend! A great getaway book I started this series as I was curious how Robb would see the future(2060) in a NYC crime drama. The series does get off planet and cars can soar but many things are the same which I guess maybe the way it will actually be. Susan Ericksen narration makes this series work, she brings to life the various "odd" character. I often find myself chuckling to a comment made. In this book there was a lot less action and violence than in other books in the series.

Rough Country Audiobook by John Sandford

Title: Rough Country Subtitle: A Virgil Flowers Novel Author: John Sandford Narrator: Eric Conger Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 7 mins Language: English Release date: 09-29-09 Publisher: Penguin Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 1971 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Modern Detective Publisher's Summary: Which makes things all the more complicated for Virgil, because as he begins investigating, he finds a web of connections between the people at the resort, the victim, and some local women, notably a talented country singer. Members Reviews: Extraordinary Plot Twists The 'guy' point of view gets a little tiresome, but the plot is extraordinary yet again. This is the second Virgil Flowers novel for me and I'll get more. Best Listen in Quite Awhile This is the most completely entertaining audiobook I've listened to in quite some time. It's a well-plotted story played-out by a really likable protagonist and a great mix of supporting characters. The story has considerable humor, dry and otherwise, woven into it which actually enhances the listening experience. The reader is very good -- especially his interpretation of Virgil Flowers. This is audiobook dollars well spent. Sandford finally hits pay-dirt with Flowers I'm a big fan of Sandford's Lucas Davenport novels but have been disappointed with his Virgil Flowers spinoff. Not any more. Rough Country is a very good story with interesting characters, humor and a storyline that relies less on implausible twists and more on reasoned deduction. I also felt like Sandford didn't pad the story with a lot of details that were not germane to the story. He treated us to 10+ hours of narrative that was just enough to tell the story. I like long listens but I don't like it when I finish an 18-hour book and feel like it could have been told in 12-hours without losing anything. This book was the right length. Good narration makes this a must-listen for Sandford fans. Sandford Does Not Disappoint as Flowers Blooms Sorry, couldn't resist. When Sandford first spun off the Virgil Flowers novels, my reaction as a dedicated Davenport fan was "oh no, please don't distract your efforts from the next Davenport novel!" I listened to the first Flowers novel (Heat Lightning?), though, and really enjoyed it. This latest story is no different. As always, Sandford spins a complex plot with an unknown killer in an unusual situation in the Minnesota north country. As is often the case in Sandford's work, there are many characters and while they give the novel a sense of reality and complexity it is somewhat difficult to keep track of them all (a special challenge for an audiobook). In my view the way many of the characters are in the spotlight for a short time and then kind of fade away quickly leads too strongly to the real villain by a simple process of elimination in the reader's mind. That said, though, I really did not figure this one out until Virgil did. And when that key clue came to light - mentioned almost in passing - there was an AHA! moment that made the whole book worthwhile. And there was a twist at the very end in one of the book's key sub-plots that really got me. Others will see this coming but for me it was a bolt from the blue that again made the book really enjoyable. Eric Conger does a perfect job of the narration. For me his voice is now as much a part of Virgil Flowers as Richard Ferrone's voice is of Lucas Davenport. Production is flawless, well directed, and clear and easy to listen to. If Sandford holds to his usual cadence there'll be another Davenport story to listen to later this year, and another Flowers story at the beginning of 2011.

In Israel, a man clutching a backpack searches desperately for a boat. In Minnesota, Virgil Flowers gets a message from Lucas Davenport: You're about to get a visitor. It's an Israeli cop, and she's tailing a man who's smuggled out an extraordinary relic - a copper scroll revealing startling details about the man known as King Solomon. Wait a minute, laughs Virgil. Is this one of those Da Vinci Code deals? The secret scroll, the blockbuster revelation, the teams of murderous bad guys? Should I be boning up on my Bible verses? He looks at the cop. She's not laughing. As it turns out, there are very bad men chasing the relic, and they don't care who's in the way or what they have to do to get it. Maybe Virgil should start praying. Members Reviews: Flowers for Sanford This tome haas Virgil at his best, the hormonal sleuth fights off the babes as he fights crime in this caper with not only international intrigue, his is tossed into the world's hottest frying pan. Don't want to throw too much out there, but Sanford may rile some feathers with the light hearted touch he lays on terrorism and terrorists. This plot has a new, higher levels of deception and machination that will have some comparing him to James Bond (with a fishing rod rather than a Beretta)! Thoroughly enjoyed this romp! Also see my "Prayer Review" on other titles Would you listen to Storm Front again? Why? I might end up doing all of them again. All of John Sandford, I mean. Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How? Absolutely. There were SO many characters doing so many things, some expected and some not. Which character as performed by Eric Conger was your favorite? That f*ckin' Flowers, of course. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? I almost cried when it was over because I had nothing half as good lined up. I laughed a number of times but I think my favorite was Chapter 23. Any additional comments? I think I may be ready to say John Sandford is my favorite writer ever. Definitely my favorite one still working. Loved it but then I'm a little in love with Virgil If you could sum up Storm Front in three words, what would they be? I've listened to all of the Lucas Davenport books at least 4 times and love them. With Virgil Flowers, Sandford has given us another awesome character that engages in really interesting "whodunits". He gets the cases no one else can solve. I recommend ALL of the Virgil Flowers books including Storm Front. Still, if you haven't read one, don't start with this one. It's better that you start with the first or second in the series and get to know Virgil first. Needlessly convoluted This book wasnt for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more? As always, Virgil Flowers is a great character. Has Storm Front turned you off from other books in this genre? Sandford exagerated the twists and turns of a needlessly complicated plot. What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment? Dissatisfaction and disappointment with Sandford good story, but not John Sandford's best Any additional comments? The story was good, but many of the characters had conflicting loyalties and at times it was hard to keep them straight.

Title: The Keeper of Lost Causes Subtitle: Department Q, Book 1 Author: Jussi Adler-Olsen Narrator: Erik Davies Format: Unabridged Length: 15 hrs and 41 mins Language: English Release date: 08-26-11 Publisher: Penguin Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 4218 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Modern Detective Publisher's Summary: Jussi Adler-Olsen is Denmark's premier crime writer. His books routinely top the best-seller lists in northern Europe, and he's won just about every Nordic crime-writing award, including the prestigious Glass Key Award - also won by Henning Mankell, Stieg Larsson, and Jo Nesbo. Now, we're thrilled to introduce him to America. The Keeper of Lost Causes, the first installment of Adler- Olsen's Department Q series, features the deeply flawed chief detective Carl Mrck, who used to be a good homicide detective-one of Copenhagen's best. Then a bullet almost took his life. Two of his colleagues weren't so lucky, and Carl, who didn't draw his weapon, blames himself. So a promotion is the last thing Carl expects. But it all becomes clear when he sees his new office in the basement. Carl's been selected to run Department Q, a new special investigations division that turns out to be a department of one. With a stack of Copenhagen's coldest cases to keep him company, Carl's been put out to pasture. So he's as surprised as anyone when a case actually captures his interest. A missing politician vanished without a trace five years earlier. The world assumes she's dead. His colleagues snicker about the time he's wasting. But Carl may have the last laugh, and redeem himself in the process. Because she isn't dead....yet. Members Reviews: Fantastic New Scandinavian Series!! I love Scandinavian mysteries and thrillers. I find that the scenery and culture along with their descriptions about their governments and daily life make for a fascinating background to a story. So when the mystery or characters are excellent, too, it is like the icing on the cake. If you enjoy books by Stieg Larsson, Jo Nesbo, Camilla Lackberg and Henning Mankell, you will love Jussi Adler-Olsen's first translated book. Adler-Olsen has written such a compelling, but unique book, it is hard to compare to others, except for the obvious similaries with background. The main character, Carl Morck, of Copenhagen's homicide squad is transferred to a new "Department Q" that is responsible for investigating cold cases. Morck is a very flawed, but brilliant, criminal investigator. His personality would have held my interest, but every character introduced by Adler-Olsen was three dimensional and not stereotypical. My absolute favorite is the mysterious Syrian immigrant, Assad, that was hired as Morck's custodian in the basement facility. Assad turns out to have an incredible talent for memory and police procedure. I love the interactions between Morck and Assad -- just wonderful writing! You will find the mystery is so different than any other you may have encountered, that I will let it develop for you. It builds and builds and grabs you in a very strong hold. Like most Scandinivian writing, there is some melancholy and darkness that dictates the mood of the book. Carl's interactions with his seriously injured former partner will bring tears to your eyes. How do these wonderful authors get me so involved with their characters and stories. I just can't stop with this book. I look forward to reading the new book out by Adler-Olsen.

Title: Iron Lake Subtitle: Cork O'Connor, Book 1 Author: William Kent Krueger Narrator: David Chandler Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 47 mins Language: English Release date: 05-21-10 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 2067 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Modern Detective Publisher's Summary: Anthony Award-winning author William Kent Krueger crafts this riveting tale about a small Minnesota towns ex-sheriff who is having trouble retiring his badge. Cork OConnor loses his job after being blamed for a tragedy on the local Anishinaabe Indian reservation. But he must set aside his personal demons when a young boy goes missing on the same day a judge commits suicideand no one but OConnor suspects foul play. Critic Reviews: "Krueger makes Cork a real person beneath his genre garments, mostly by showing him dealing with the needs of his two very different teenage daughters. And the author's deft eye for the details of everyday life brings the town and its peculiar problems to vivid life." ( Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: Good start to a mystery series This is my first book by William Kent Krueger and I was really pleased. I really enjoyed the background of this upper Minnesota setting and the Native Indian culture. I figured out the "whodunit" too soon, but the story was still interesting. There were some parts of the story where my heart was really beating fast so I am looking forward to continuing this series. I love the main character, Cork O'Connor. The narrator, David Chandler, did a good job. I don't remember him using different voices for the different characters, but the writing was so well done that I always knew whose voice was talking. The dialogues were very well done and fun to listen to throughout the story. Crackerjack Beginning to a Great Series I have been re-visiting in audio the first volumes in some of my favorite series! William Kent Krueger's is as good as I remembered, and, with David Chandler's terrific narration, listening is even better than reading. "Iron Lake" is full of non-stop suspense and introduces characters who grab your interest and sympathy at once. Ex-Sheriff Cork O'Connor is a decent man with an interesting cultural heritage, a troubled past, and a complicated family life. You'll want to follow him anywhere! Who came first - Wm Krueger or CJ Box ??? I'm a HUGE CJ Box fan. As I listened to this narrator - David Chandler (also the voice of Box's Joe Pickett) I had to keep reminding myself this was Cork nor Joe. Cork and Joe are brothers from different mothers. Finding Krueger and his large collection of Cork novels I feel like I've found long lost CJ Box stories. Both involve rural outdoors and a straight arrow hero with a family. Just enough differences in the two (Joe and Cork) to make all the books interesting. A Frozen Minnesota Thriller This was a complex, well written and at times just plain terrifying first book in a series set around Christmas time in ice cold Minnesota. Don't get me wrong--Christmas is woven into the book but this isn't a Christmas story. For me, it was perfectly timed for a cold December listen. Chandler did an excellent job with the narration. I really loved the way he captured all the different characters and voices. His timing was perfect. The descriptions of Native American myths and lore were fantastic. The characters were fully developed and had real depth. Heart pounding, fast paced, keep you guessing storytelling captured a sense of isolation, disappointment and the need for strength in the hunt for truth.

Title: Midnight Riot Subtitle: Peter Grant, Book 1 Author: Ben Aaronovitch Narrator: Kobna Holdbrook-Smith Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 56 mins Language: English Release date: 09-28-12 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 4136 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Modern Detective Publisher's Summary: Probationary constable Peter Grant dreams of being a detective in London's Metropolitan Police. Too bad his superior plans to assign him to the Case Progression Unit, where the biggest threat he'll face is a paper cut. But Peter's prospects change in the aftermath of a puzzling murder, when he gains exclusive information from an eyewitness who happens to be a ghost. Peter's ability to speak with the lingering dead brings him to the attention of Detective Chief Inspector Thomas Nightingale, who investigates crimes involving magic and other manifestations of the uncanny. Now, as a wave of brutal and bizarre murders engulfs the city, Peter is plunged into a world where gods and goddesses mingle with mortals and a long-dead evil is making a comeback on a rising tide of magic. Members Reviews: I LOVE this Book! For several years now, I have studiously avoided any and all of the current books involving vampires, ghosts, werewolves, spirits and similar creatures in mystery and other genres. I didn't read horror stories, period. Then I read some member reviews of "Midnight Riot," and thought I'd give it a try, despite the dead, undead and non-human monsters. What a revelation! This book gives the reader a rollicking ride through modern day London in the course of a murder investigation. It is fast-paced, engrossing and hilarious. I laughed out loud repeatedly when listening. In addition, I learned a bit of history about various sites in and around London. Constable Peter Grant, having just finished his probationary period with the Metropolitan Police, interviews a witness to murder, only to find out that his witness is the ghost of a man who died 120 years before. As a result of his being able to see and converse with the ghost, he is recruited by Inspector Thomas Nightingale to work in a unit (made up of only Nightingale and Peter) whose "beat" is anything non-human, undead or uncanny. Turns out Nightingale is a wizard, and Peter becomes his apprentice. Now, sweep all ideas of Harry Potter out of your mind -- this is not a Hogwarts type of story. As Peter, Nightingale and Constable Lesley May, a friend of Peter's, work their way through the mystery. they encounter a great deal of violence, a number of River Spirits, ghosts, vampires, and general confusion. Peter Grant is a lovely character, who is smarter than he realizes, and who looks at London and its residents with a jaundiced eye and very ironic comment. Other reviews give a much more detailed description of the book, and I refer you to those other descriptions. I want to talk about the narrator, Kobna Holdbrook-Smith. He is perfect! He gives Peter's character just the right accent and attitude, that of a young mixed race man from a working class background who has a breezy attitude and many a smart remark to make. Then he makes Nightingale a well educated gentleman of at least a century earlier. Male and female voices, London accents, German, Indian, Middle Eastern, African, Caribbean and Japanese voices are all wonderful. KHS brings the book to life beautifully. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Disc World Fans...This Way Please This book is greatits Disc World great, its PG Wodehouse great, its Tom Sharpe great. Its as British as Chicken Vindaloo or Soccer Violence.

Title: Sanctuary Author: Nora Roberts Narrator: Sandra Burr Format: Unabridged Length: 14 hrs and 57 mins Language: English Release date: 12-01-08 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 895 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Modern Detective Publisher's Summary: But now, the sprawling resort off the coast of Georgia haunts her dreams. Even more haunting are the pictures that someone is sending her - strange close-ups, candid shots, and finally, the most shocking and heartbreaking portrait of all: a photograph of her long-lost mother. . . naked, beautiful, and dead. Jo realizes that it's time to return to Sanctuary. The island inn, still run by her estranged family, brings back painful memories and the troubled relationships she struggled so hard to escape and forget. But it seems that her stalker can even breach the safety of this tiny island, where everybody knows everybody - or thinks they do. And Sanctuary may be the most dangerous place of all. Members Reviews: Good book! Let's face it, Nora Roberts is a master at this stuff, and even though this is obviously an older novel, it doesn't disappoint. The characters are very well-developed and I fell in love with all of them! There are about 4 different romantic stories going on, but enough time is given to each story so that you feel invested in the characters. I found myself smiling a lot and even chuckling aloud in a couple of places. The mystery aspect was also well-played. The narrator, however... while she did a great job with character distinction, the voices she chose to represent each character seemed a bit off, particularly with the males. I don't mean to nitpick, but isn't that one of the reasons we choose audio books over hard copies? Anyway, if the narration had been a little better, it would have made a good book great. Keep in mind this is from the 1990s Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not? I enjoyed the setting, and the mystery itself was fun, but it's glaringly obvious it's set in the 1990s. I'm amazed at how much female/male characterization in Robert's books has changed over the years. The men in this book almost always force themselves on the women - and the women just melt in their arms and give into their passions... which had me rolling my eyes at points. Puh-lease. What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!) I'd read it was a "surprise" twist ending... can't say I was blown away by it. It was a good plot generally. What does Sandra Burr bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? She did a good job, but nothing stellar. Was Sanctuary worth the listening time? Yes - interesting just to see how Roberts' writing has changed, and gotten better over the years. Any additional comments? I wish they'd post the publishing date of the book on the main page. Obviously nothing wrong with reading books written 10-20 years ago - but it helps prepare me for the tone of the book. Intriguing When Nora Roberts writes a book that scares me it really scares me. This was a very well written interesting book.

If he breaks a heart, or bends the law in order to catch a criminal, he does so without hesitation or apology. That's why he's the first person Caroline Kingwho after a 30-year separation continues to haunt his dreamsasks for help when a deranged stalker attempts to murder their daughter...the daughter Dodge has never met. He has a whole bagful of grudging excuses for wishing to ignore Caroline's call, and one compelling reason to drop everything and fly down to Texas: guilt. Dodge's mind may be a haze of disturbing memories and bad decisions, but he arrives in Houston knowing with perfect clarity that his daughter, Berry, is in danger. She has become the object of desire of a co-worker, a madman and genius with a penchant for puzzles and games who has spent the past year making Berry's life hell, and who now has vowed to kill her. Dodge joins forces with local deputy sheriff Ski Nyland, but the alarming situation goes from bad to worse when the stalker begins to claim other victims and leaves an ominous trail of clues as he lethally works his way toward Berry. Sensing the killer drawing nearer, Dodge, who's survived vicious criminals and his own self-destructive impulses, realizes that this time he's in for the fight of his life. From acclaimed best-selling author Sandra Brown, Tough Customer is a heart-pounding tale about obsession and murder, the fragile nature of relationships, and, possibly, second chances. Members Reviews: Really like Sandra Brown I almost didn't buy this book because of the one review written when I purchased it. But I love Sandra Brown, and I'm glad I disregarded the review and gave the book a try. While I agree that it isn't her best novel, and that it was a little slow in the beginning, there were unexpected twists later in the book that kept me interested. I especially sympathized with Dodge and Caroline in the choices they made and lived with for 30 years. If you're a fan of Brown, I wouldn't call Tough Customer a wasted credit. I was leary at first Sandra Brown is one of my favorite authors but I wasn't sure about a book featuring the private detective from Smash Cut. Then I read the reviews about book and since most of them were negative I decided not to get this book. Glad I changed my mind. I should have known that a Sandra Brown book narrated by Victor Slezak couldn't help but be excellent. Having said all of that I agree that isn't the best book that Sandra Brown has ever written. Not her best - but it is Sandra Brown I always look for new releases by Sandra Brown, so I came across this one. I would always choose one of her novels. I went with it despite the negative reviews. It was entertaining, but definitely all over the place! Too many subplots. When I thought I was winding up the book, I was surprised to see that I had 3 hours left! A bit formulaic, but entertaining enough. Lots of Sandra Brown signature moments. I wouldn't put it at the top of your list, but when you need a new read, I wouldn't pass it up because of the reviews. "Sue Me" Would you listen to Tough Customer again? Why? yes, I did listen twice, as I missed some good parts the first time. S.B.

Seven Up Audiobook by Janet Evanovich

Add a series of unnerving break-ins, not to mention the bombshell revelation leveled by Stephanie's estranged sister, and Stephanie's ready for some good news. Unfortunately, a marriage proposal from Joe Morelli, the love of her life, isn't quite cutting it. And now, murder, a randy paramour, a wily mobster, death threats, extortion, and a triple kidnapping aside, Stephanie's really got the urge to run for her life. Critic Reviews: "A madcap comic mystery, Jersey-girl style." (New York Times) "Funny, sexy, and scary." (Booklist) "It's always a treat to go out on a case with Stephanie Plum, the sassy, adventurous, but not always successful Trenton, N.J., bounty hunter." (Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: Love Stephanie Plum I started with book 1 on Audible and fell in love with the character, Stephanie Plum, and the narrator, Lori Petty. I listened to a sample of Loralei King and swore I was not going to listen any further (I loved Lori Petty's Jersey accent). But when it came time for book 7, I caved because I wanted more Stephanie Plum. After listening to this book -- I must say, Loralei King does a tremendous job and I've become a fan. It takes me some time to get use to different narrators but after the first little bit, I was able to adapt. I'm glad I caved because I really enjoy Loralei's rendition of Stephanie and all the other wonderful characters. As for the book itself--loved it--true to form for the series and Janet Evanovich. Using my trick to enjoy this one! Lorelei King's distracting voice characterization for Grandma Mazur was the worst of all of the three readers of the series. I was glad to see they did not keep the reader for the abridged versions of books five and six of the series because she was the "speedy gonzales" version of narrators and I felt I needed a Valium trying to listen to her read. King's calm eloquent reading style made the story a less excitable journey than it could have been but, otherwise she was passable. At first, I felt C. J. Critt was the worst narrator I had ever heard, but now, since these books took me on the "Goldi Lockes" hunt for the perfect narrator, I believe she was actually the best reader of the Stephanie Plum Series! Critt did at least make the exciting fight scenes exciting, and Grandma Mazur's comic relief scenes comical, unlike King's annoyingly shrill voice choice for Grandma which loses all of the comedy in the lines for me. So I'm eating my bowl of "crow" on this one. All in all, it is still a good book and I will listen to the others. I found a trick for listening to good stories read by narrator's who have reading styles that irritate me. I choose to think of them as a favorite aunt or uncle telling me about their life experience. This mental view makes me more patient and accepting of the narrator's vocal flaws. So, I had to use my trick with this one too! Huge Disappointment! Any additional comments? Recently started this series and had great fun listening to the first six books read by CJ Critt (although I had to get #5&6 from the library because Audible only had the abridged versions with a different narrator).

Explosive Eighteen Audiobook by Janet Evanovich

Her dream vacation turned into a nightmare, and shes flying back to New Jersey solo. Worse still, her seatmate never returned to the plane after the L.A. layover. Now hes dead, in a garbage can, waiting for curbside pickup. His killer could be anyone. And a ragtag collection of thugs and psychos, not to mention the FBI, are all looking for a photograph the dead man was supposed to be carrying. Only one other person has seen the missing photo: Stephanie Plum. Now shes the target, and she doesnt intend to end up in a garbage can. With the help of an FBI sketch artist, Stephanie re-creates the person in the photo. Unfortunately, the first sketch turns out to look like Tom Cruise, and the second sketch like Ashton Kutcher. Until Stephanie can improve her descriptive skills, shell need to watch her back. Over at the bail bonds agency, things are going from bad to worse. The bonds bus serving as Vinnies temporary HQ goes up in smoke. Stephanies wheelman, Lula, falls in love with their largest skip yet. Lifetime arch nemesis Joyce Barnhardt moves into Stephanies apartment. And everyone wants to know what happened in Hawaii. Morelli, Trentons hottest cop, isnt talking about Hawaii. Ranger, the man of mystery, isnt talking about Hawaii. And all Stephanie is willing to say about her Hawaiian vacation is... its complicated. Members Reviews: to quote Lula 'I really expected a better story' Spoiler Alert! After having given up on the series several books ago, I was persuaded to read #17 and thought that maybe things were back on track. Explosive Eighteen was a massive disappointment. After teasing the reader (for ages!) with hints about what happened in Hawaii, we get a brief (and unsatisfying) few lines to explain why the stagnant love triangle is still in place and then it's on to the rest of the convoluted storyline that seemed to drag on forever. In the past, even when I've been frustrated by the refusal to choose between Ranger & Joe, I've been able to appreciate the screwball comedy. This book lacked the laugh-out-loud moments that, for me, partially redeemed a few of the books beyond #9. In 18, I spent a lot of time feeling like I was waiting for a punchline that never arrived. Worse, still, is the fact that Joe & Ranger have been reduced to shadows of their former selves and neither one bears much resemblance to the alpha-types I knew and loved. They just seemed worn out and as tired of dealing with Stephanie as I am. I cannot for the life of me figure out what either man is supposed to find so irresistible about Stephanie that they would be willing to settle for whatever crumbs she's willing to give them. Even without being able to blame a "curse," Stephanie is still casually sleeping with both of them, willing to commit to neither of them and they just jump in and rescue her incompetent self over and over again. (IMO) It's not charming, it's not cute, it's not endearing and I spent most of the book being bored by the litany of junk food she consumes and wondering why she was so stupid that she allowed the same guy to steal her car over and over again. Without totally giving away the ending, I will say that I thought it was a lame attempt to persuade readers that an actual choice might be in the making.

Murphy's Law Audiobook by Rhys Bowen

Title: Murphy's Law Author: Rhys Bowen Narrator: Nicola Barber Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 32 mins Language: English Release date: 12-17-13 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 1876 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Modern Detective Publisher's Summary: Murphy's Law is the captivating first entry of Rhys Bowens New York Times best-selling Molly Murphy series. Molly Murphy always knew she'd end up in trouble, just as her mother predicted. So, when she commits murder in self-defense, she flees her cherished Ireland, under cover of a false identity, for the anonymous shores of late 19th-century America. When she arrives in New York and sees the welcoming promise of freedom in the Statue of Liberty, Molly begins to breathe easier. But when a man is murdered on Ellis Island, a man Molly was seen arguing with, she becomes a prime suspect in the crime. If she can't clear her name, Molly will be sent back to Ireland where the gallows await, so using her Irish charm and sharp wit, she escapes Ellis Island and sets out to find the wily killer on her own. Pounding the notorious streets of Hell's Kitchen and the Lower East Side, Molly undertakes a desperate mission to clear her name before her deadly past comes back to haunt her new future. Members Reviews: A clean mystery. Where does Murphy's Law rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? This was a great read. Who was your favorite character and why? Molly is such a great character, full of fire and persistence. Have you listened to any of Nicola Barbers other performances before? How does this one compare? I haven't listened to Nicola Barber before but I loved her performance. She has a great voice and does the accents well, Any additional comments? I like to listen to Audio books in the car with my family. It is difficult to find adult books that are appropriate for my young kids to listen to. I do love to listen to kids and young adult books but it is so refreshing to listen to an adult mystery that is not full of sex and graphic violence. This book does have a love interest and there is some kissing but nothing graphic or that I would feel uncomfortable with my kids hearing. The book is a murder mystery and so there are a few deaths in the book, but no graphic violence. I look forward to listening to all the Molly Murphy mysteries. Cream Puff Read 3 near rapes, 3 murders and one more attempted... sounds a bit intense, but it is really a cream puff read. We follow beautiful, naïve, and spunky, Molly Murphy as she immigrates from Ireland to New York and watch as one little lie has to follow the next. I enjoyed the historical background wound into the story, the plucky heroine and that it really is a clean, positive read. The plot depends on repeated coincidences, that at times strain belief... but I personally enjoyed it more than Rhys's "Royal Spyness" series. The narrator is fantastic. Yep, I'll be getting next one, but will wait for a while since it's a dessert read and cream puffs can be addictive. A genuinely fun listen. Just finished this one and the second in the series and can't wait to keep going. The narrator I already loved from The Rose Garden (check it out!!--I've listened to it twice and my daughter loved it too.) The narrator makes this character completely believable. If you liked Nancy Drew once upon a time, think of this as Nancy-Drew-for-grown-ups except without the unbridled confidence and worldly-wise-ness of Nancy (which was always annoying anyway--so this character is far more believable than Nancy). Light and relaxed adventure/detective/romance. I always looked forward to turning it back on. Just enjoy them.

What the Dead Know Audiobook by Laura Lippman

But her involuntary admission and subsequent attempt to stonewall investigators only deepens the mystery. Where has she been, why has she waited so long to come forward? Could her abductor truly be a beloved Baltimore cop? There isn't a shred of evidence to support her story, and every lead she gives the police seems to be another dead-end: a dying, incoherent man; a razed house; a missing grave; and a family that disintegrated long ago, torn apart not only by the crime but by the fissures the tragedy revealed in what appeared to be the perfect household. In a story that moves back and forth across the decades, there is only one person who dares to be skeptical of a woman who wants to claim the identity of one Bethany sister without revealing the fate of the other. Will he be able to discover the truth? Critic Reviews: "Edgar-winner Lippman...shows she's as good as Peter Abrahams and other A-list thriller writers with this outstanding stand-alone." (Publishers Weekly) "An uncommonly clever impostor story, so cagily constructed that it easily fulfills the genre's two basic demands. First, Ms. Lippman is able to keep her reader guessing about the main character's disputed identity until the very end of this book. Second, when the revelation comes, it makes perfect sense, and it has been hiding in plain sight. This is not one of those mysteries with a denouement that feels tacked on, half baked or pulled out of thin air." (The New York Times) Members Reviews: Worth it indeed! I thought this was an exceptionally good audiobook. Great, fascinating plot that grips you, fascinating characters, excellent narration. Yes, you should be prepared to go back and forth in time, as you can tell from the book description, but it always marks a time change with a new chapter and/or music that breaks it up, and I did not find it difficult to follow at all. Very highly recommended. A page turner As a photographer, I spend long hours editing photos at my computer and I need quick paced, story driven books to keep me working. As a long time Audible customer, I've learned to read reviews and try to narrow my choices to reads that meet that criteria. Despite my care, I've run across several recently that I simply couldn't get through. So I was very happy when I came across "What the Dead Know." I thoroughly enjoyed the story and loved the pace of it. And, even as a long time thriller and mystery reader, it surprised me in the end. excellent narrator My first Laura Lippman. Although the solution to the mystery was easy enough to predict, the writing was good enough to keep me listening. And the narrator was excellent. You audible listeners know how a poor narrator can almost spoil a good book, This one was very good. Great mystery I loved the complexity of the central mystery, and how pieces of the puzzle were shared a little at a time. It's a cliche, but this story was like peeling back the layers of an onion. The author played fair - no outrageous curve balls that changed the essential trajectory of the mystery. The solution made sense and was satisfying, but I didn't have it fully figured out. Nice to have some surprises in the middle of the onion.

Selchester Castle in 1953 sits quiet and near-empty, its corridors echoing with glories of the past. Or so it seems to intelligence officer Hugo Hawksworth, wounded on a secret mission and now reluctantly assuming an altogether less perilous role at Selchester. The Castle's faded grandeur hides a web of secrets and scandals - the Earl has been missing for seven years, lost without a trace since the night he left his guests and walked out into a blizzard. When a skeleton is uncovered beneath the flagstones of the Old Chapel, the police produce a suspect and declare the case closed. Hugo is not convinced. With the help of the spirited Freya Wryton, the Earl's niece, he is drawn back into active service, and the ancient town of Selchester is dragged into the intrigues and conspiracies of the Cold War era. With a touch of Downton Abbey, a whisper of Agatha Christie and a nod to Le Carré, A Man of Some Repute is the first book in this delightfully classic and witty murder mystery series. Members Reviews: Pretty good "pseudo" golden age mystery I enjoy the English "Golden Age" mystery, and have read Sayers and Marsh and Heyer and Wentworth and Christie, etc. For an author who grew up outside of England and is modern rather than someone born before WWI, I think Elizabeth Edmondson does a pretty good job of creating a pseudo Golden Age mystery. I don't know enough about upper class Catholics in England during an just after WWII to know if she got those details right, but otherwise I was pretty satisfied with her period detail. Bonus points for remembering that food and other items were still rationed in England for some years after WWII ended. The mystery itself was good, plenty of red herrings, the actual killer not telegraphed too early, but not appearing out of thin air either. And good, competent writing. The thing I disliked the most about the story is the pretty obvious set up for the next book. I like a series, but I tend to prefer that each book stand alone. In this case many loose ends have been left, basicly getting ready for the next book, which will really be mainly a continuation of this book, with more family secrets coming to light. If she ties things up in A Question of Inheritance, which comes out soon, I will be satisfied. If she strings things on and on, I think it will get old. The reader does a good job making an interesting read, and distinguishing the characters well enough so one knows who is speaking. Over all, a good listen Amusing cozy mystery with a twist This book would be a traditional cozy mystery, set in an English village in 1953, except for the twist that it's also a spy novel. The characters are well drawn, if stereotypical; the dialogue is sharp, and there's just enough of a cliffhanger--or maybe two--to hint at a satisfying series to come. I recommend this for cozy fans who are getting a bit tired of the standard whodunit murder puzzle. Intriguing Plot & Characters Become Talking Heads I finished listening to this book because I liked the characters and wanted to know whodunit. That said, the book often becomes long scenes with talking heads. Narrative description, setting, and period detail are almost completely missing. In scenes with only two characters, the author uses no taglines, an affectation that can be taken too far.

A young Templar knight, his mentor, and a handful of others escape to the sea carrying a mysterious chest entrusted to them by the Order's dying Grand Master. The ship vanishes without a trace. In present day Manhattan, four masked horsemen dressed as Templar Knights emerge from Central Park and ride up the Fifth Avenue steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art during the black-tie opening of a "Treasures of the Vatican" exhibit. Storming through the crowds, the horsemen brutally attack anyone standing between them and their prize. Attending the gala, archaeologist Tess Chaykin watches in silent terror as the leader of the horsemen hones in on one piece in particular, a strange geared device. He utters a few cryptic Latin words as he takes hold of it with reverence before leading the horsemen out and disappearing into the night. In the aftermath, an FBI investigation is led by anti-terrorist specialist Sean Reilly. Soon, he and Tess are drawn into the dark, hidden history of the crusading knights, plunging them into a deadly game of cat and mouse with ruthless killers as they race across three continents to recover the lost secret of the Templars. Members Reviews: Fantastic I have two friends who agree with me. If you enjoy DaVinci or Templar lore, this book is for you. Great story line and intriguing to the end. Lots of action and interesting premise for a story compared to other Templar stories. The reading and intonations of the narrator are excellent as are his other readings. You will not be disappointed! A Good Listen I thought about listening to this book after enjoying the DaVinci Code about a year ago. Then I recently noticed it was narrated by Richard Ferrone, who does such a great job with John Sandford's Lucas Davenport series. Ferrone is good here, too, but not to the level of his Sandford reads. The author's jumping back and forth between the 14th and 21st centuries was sometimes hard to follow. Some of the premises of the plot, such as the link between the Vatican and the CIA were also a little hard to swallow. And the hurdles that some of the main characters are able to leap in the latter stages of the book are somewhat unbelievable. And Christians who read this book should never lose track of the fact that the book, like the Davinci Code, is a work of fiction. You'll feel better about it. Sporadically intersting Richard Ferrone did an excellent job in this narration. This is perhaps the only reason why I finished the book. Otherwise, I found the plot hardly believable, and to me it was the book equivalent of a bad Hollywood action flick. Fun listening Though some of the things in this book were a bit unrealistic, it was a fun read kept my mind busy while I was stuck at work and traveling. If you're looking for something similar to DaVinci Code, this might be a good choice for you. Great book I have read the paperback and the audio is awesome. The narrator really bring the charactors to life. The history parts that most people skim through when they read were very interesting. I listen to this book several times, and still love it more each time.

Kate O'Hare is the FBI agent who is hot on his trail. At least that's what everyone thinks. In reality Fox and O'Hare are secretly working together to bring down super criminals the law can't touch. Criminals like brutal casino magnate Evan Trace. Evan Trace is running a money-laundering operation through his casino in Macau. Some of his best customers are mobsters, dictators, and global terrorists. Nick and Kate will have to go deep undercover as high-stakes gamblers, wagering millions of dollars - and their lives - in an attempt to topple Trace's empire. It's a scam that will take Fox and O'Hare from the Las Vegas strip to the sun soaked beaches of Oahu's North Shore and into the dark back alleys of Macau. Their only backup - a self-absorbed actor; a Somali pirate; and Kate's father, an ex-soldier who believes a rocket launcher is the best way to solve every problem. What could possibly go wrong? Members Reviews: Crazy cliffhanger, #5 better not take a year! I love this series. Scott Brick does a great job bringing Nick & Kate to life. While this book felt like the job was a little rushed (almost like listening to an abridged version) I enjoyed every second up until (and including) the cliffhanger. With a cliffhanger like this one, it better not take a year to put out the next Fox and O'Hare book or that would be pure torture! my heart.. :( SPOILERS Finally not one of their usual endings, but.....my heart is hurting cause Nick is missing. I swear to goodness he better be alive. I thought he he standing her up at first but now....all crys are coming out. and I have to wait, what another year to find out? man Another excellent book from Evanovich and Goldberg I liked it more before Nick was caught and forced to go to work for the FBI. On the other hand Kate's dad Jake adds to the interest. Scott Brick is the perfect narrator for this series. My favorite so far This is my favorite of the four in the series. Word of advice to Janet and Lee.....NEVER REPLACE SCOTT BRICK!!! he does an incredible job with your characters Another Addictive Wild Ride I stumbled upon this series a couple of years ago and have enjoyed them immensely. I love the playful flirting on Nicks part and Kate's ultimately futile resistance. The story was suspenseful and action packed. I like the return of familiar characters, most especially father, Jake, and Boyd the delusional actor. Laugh out loud funny. I also love the names of the characters Nick uses, as a child of the 60's I recognize them all. In my mind if this series came to the small or large screen, I see him played by Matt Bomer (White Collar and Magic Mike!). I saw another reviewer who had the same idea. The end of this story left us with a serious cliff hanger regarding Nick, so I can't wait for the next installment. Evanovich and Goldberg make a great writing couple. Keep up the good work.

Title: Two Kinds of Truth Author: Michael Connelly Narrator: Titus Welliver Format: Abridged Length: 6 hrs and 30 mins Language: English Release date: 10-31-17 Publisher: Hachette Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 238 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Modern Detective Publisher's Summary: Harry Bosch searches for the truth in the new thriller from number-one New York Times best-selling author Michael Connelly. Harry Bosch is back as a volunteer working cold cases for the San Fernando Police Department and is called out to a local drugstore where a young pharmacist has been murdered. Bosch and the town's three-person detective squad sift through the clues, which lead into the dangerous, big business world of pill mills and prescription drug abuse. Meanwhile, an old case from Bosch's LAPD days comes back to haunt him when a long-imprisoned killer claims Harry framed him and seems to have new evidence to prove it. Bosch left the LAPD on bad terms, so his former colleagues aren't keen to protect his reputation. He must fend for himself in clearing his name and keeping a clever killer in prison. The two unrelated cases wind around each other like strands of barbed wire. Along the way Bosch discovers that there are two kinds of truth: the kind that sets you free and the kind that leaves you buried in darkness. Members Reviews: Another Great Harry Bosch Ive read or listened to every book in Connellys Harry Bosch series. Im a cynic and keep waiting for the first time Connelly merely mails it in. Hasnt happened yet. Two Kinds of Truth is a tightly written, character consistent work that is as enjoyable a listen as any in the series. As for the reader, Titus Welliver is a perfect Bosch, especially if you watch the Harry Bosch series on Amazon. Outstanding! This book is outstanding. Great having Titus Welliver narrate. Michael Connelly at his best with both Bosch and Haller involved. My only complaint My only complaint, I have to wait a year to get the next one in the series. Another well done novel. Started it at work this morning and spent 2 hours after work sitting in my car in the driveway to finish it. MC does an excellent police procedural. Right up there with James Lee Burke. Not every writer can bring humanity to their character book after book. MC does. Fun I just love Titus's Bosch. The intertwining stories and characters are enjoyable and I root for them. Connelly at his best A barn burner. . . . right from the beginning to the end . . . I got a lot of walking in with one . . . Titus Welliver is great

At Midnight's local pawnshop, weapons are flying off the shelves - only to be used in sudden and dramatic suicides right at the main crossroads in town. Who better to figure out why blood is being spilled than the vampire Lemuel, who, while translating mysterious texts, discovers what makes Midnight the town it is? There's a reason why witches and werewolves, killers and psychics, have been drawn to this place. And now they must come together to stop the bloodshed in the heart of Midnight. For if all hell breaks loose - which just might happen - it will put the secretive town on the map, where no one wants it to be.... Members Reviews: Midnight Texas series I'm so glad I decided to listen to the last 2 books in the series. Susan Bennett does such an amazing job with all the voices. My absolute favorite is Mr. snuggly the cat. I laugh every time he speaks. Surprisingly funny One of my favorite things about Charlene Harris's books is that they tend to be funny when you don't expect it. And though I felt for Fiji's dilemma I could not help but crack up at its description and her reactions. Amazing full circle Some of the details got a little overdone but in general everyone story really came full circle the climax of the west fantastic. There was so much more action on this one and so much more going on which made it fantastic. This third book in the series is not something that disappoints at all this go around. Lots of little other stories made it fantastic. The TV show midnight Texas is the air May 2017 and I hope it will do some of the story justice. I can already see from the commercials that they will not be portraying Fiji accurately at all but I'm excited for it anyway. Wonderful Not only are the words brilliant but the voice of the reader is as brilliant and entertaining. She captured each characters personality and sense of humor. So memorable. Fantastic in every way. I love the stories about this enchanting town and its one of a kind characters. I hate to see the series end. A trilogy is not enough. Ms. Feehan's writing captures you completely. What a great world builder. Laughs and Magic I've listened to all three of the Midnight Texas books now and this, by far, is my favorite. Charlaine Harris has a wonderful sense of humor and Susan Bennett does a fantastic job in translating this for your audio pleasure. Without saying too much, Night Shift again focuses on the little town of Midnight and its eclectic and diverse residents. The town is again threatened. As dead bodies begin to pile up, will the residents, both magical and not, survive? My favorite character, Mr Snuggly the Cat, has more of a presence and I cannot get enough of hearing from him. If you haven't read or listened to the two previous books, get in it! If you haven't read any of her other series, get on it as well. Fantastic work.

The FBI had one demand when they secretly teamed up Special Agent Kate O'Hare with charming con man Nicolas Fox - bring down the world's most-wanted and untouchable felons. This time it's the brutal leader of a global drug-smuggling empire. The FBI doesn't know what their target looks like, where he is, or how to find him, but Nick Fox has a few tricks up his sleeve to roust this particular Knipschildt chocolate-loving drug lord. From the streets of Nashville to the back alleys of Lisbon, from the rooftops of Istanbul to the middle of the Thames, Nick and Kate chase their mark. When they find themselves pitted against a psychopathic bodyguard and a Portuguese enforcer who gets advice from a pickled head, they decide it's time to enlist some special talent - talent like a machete-wielding Somali pirate, a self-absorbed actor, an Oscar-winning special effects artist, and Kate's father Jake, a retired Special Forces operative. Together they could help make this Fox and O'Hare's biggest win yet . . . if they survive. Members Reviews: Interesting and entertaining The story caught my interest and was entertaining and at times funny. It wasn't roll on the floor type funny but it had enough humour mixed in with the plot to keep it light. Waiting for the next book!! love this series big fan of USA White Collar series, this reminds me of that show, can't wait to reas the next one. The Good, the Bad , and the Funny! Another Great Fox and O'Hare book. I really like the narrator Scott Brick. Scott Brick is th reason I buy so many of his narrated books. twists and turns loved it, love the team these writers make, and plan to purchase all their collaborations, as well as each of their individually written books The Job is not that good a job This book falls short in entertainment value compared to the other two books in the Fox and O'Hare series. The action parts were good. The con was detailed and dangerous. The part that is lacking is the relationship(s) building. All the interactions between the main characters, as well as the rest of the nutty crew, were too brief and inconsequential. In sum, the lack of further character development was unsatisfying. Though it earned a 2 with me, I'm still hooked and waiting for book 4.

It's hard to tell what's the best part of The Killing Lessons: the sweaty-palm plot that races along like a squad car on a high-speed pursuit, the breathtaking depictions of the characters, good and bad, or author Black's inimitable style. My vote? All three." Jeffery Deaver, New York Times bestselling author of The Skin Collector and Solitude Creek In their isolated country house, a mother and her two children prepare to wait out a blinding snowstorm. Two violent predators walk through the door. Nothing will ever be the same. When the two strangers turn up at Rowena Cooper's isolated Colorado farmhouse, she knows instantly that it's the end of everything. For the two haunted and driven men, on the other hand, it's just another stop on a long and bloody journey. And they still have many miles to go, and victims to sacrifice, before their work is done. For San Francisco homicide detective Valerie Hart, their trail of victims-women abducted, tortured and left with a seemingly random series of objects inside them-has brought her from obsession to the edge of physical and psychological destruction. And she's losing hope of making a breakthrough before that happens. But the murders at the Cooper farmhouse didn't quite go according to plan. There was a survivor, Rowena's ten-year-old daughter Nell, who now holds the key to the killings. Injured, half-frozen, terrified, Nell has only one place to go. And that place could be even more dangerous than what she's running from. In this extraordinary, pulse-pounding debut, Saul Black takes us deep into the mind of a psychopath, and into the troubled heart of the woman determined to stop him. This audiobook includes an interview with the author. Members Reviews: After several Ho-Hum books, it's back to twisted, broken criminals tormenting their human prey with high octane gore. This Audio book was very well performed, each character's voice clear and delineated from one another. The plot was a bit predictable, though quite nicely woven, exploring the psyche of the killers: a peek at the ruination of the Good committed by people who were supposed to nurture and protect the boys, now grown serial murderers. The author explores a taste of the psyche of the victims who die and the victims who will live as they are wounded, captured, and waiting for what they feel is certain death. Life well lived-- what's that?Ready to die? Fight, flight. Superhuman efforts to save others. For all that, this book has PLENTY of gore and strange twists for readers that appreciate books such as Silence of the Lambs. There is motivation and method as the killers move along. This book won't make readers better people. But it will entertain those of us who enjoy a creepy, gory tale that probably could happen in real life. Really really well written!!! If you could sum up The Killing Lessons in three words, what would they be? Engaging nailbitting fun What did you like best about this story? I love the way the individual character plots are woven in to each other. The people are real. The story is fightening. Which character as performed by Christina Delaine was your favorite? Vanessa is my favorite. She is uniquely likable. Any additional comments? The narrator does an amazing job!!!! Compelling An interesting plot and well-developed characters.

Reflective points. Poignant. Just a good fun read. I'm hooked on the whole alphabet! Have to read them all! A good one. Another good one in the series. Her latter ones are better with more twists and turns, but the beginning ones are also a good read. A must buy if you want to follow the story. Great listening. Loved it. many twists and turns, with a booming ending. one of Grafton's best in alphabet series! A lot of names Too many names makes one struggle to keep everyone straight. Just a little on the depressing side too. Good but short it is a good book. I did enjoy listening to the book , one thing though you have to listen carefully otherwise you miss the details.

One late fall Sunday in southern Minnesota, a farmer brings a load of soybeans to a local grain elevator - and a young man hits him on the head with a steel bar, drops him into the grain bin, waits until he's sure he's dead, and then calls the sheriff to report the "accident". Suspicious, the sheriff calls in Virgil Flowers, who quickly breaks the kid down...and the next day the boy's found hanging in his cell. Remorse? Virgil isn't so sure, and as he investigates he begins to uncover a multigeneration, multifamily conspiracy - a series of crimes of such monstrosity that, though he's seen an awful lot in his life, even he has difficulty in comprehending it...and in figuring out what to do next. Members Reviews: EXCELLENT! I think this is Sanford's best book yet. It is definitely the best Virgil Flowers book I've read. The flow of the story is perfect. Frighteningly, it is very believable and well researched. Unfortunately, these type of issues do exist to some extent. He put together a great mix of mystery, thriller, action, suspense and even some romance. Eric Conger did his usual good job with the narration, especially during the big scene. He made it come to life and make it a real white knuckle event. I Highly recommend this book.It is one of the best credits I've used this year! Virgil Flowers is for real This outing with Sanford's laconic Virgil Flowers solidifies the characters as one of the best in current police procedural fiction. Down-to-earth rogue Virgil is smart and sensible with an honest feel for the people of small town America. The smooth pace takes you from point to point, with Virgil always a step or two ahead. My new favorite character! That f---ing Flowers. Gotta love him. John Sandford has kept me pleasantly engrossed with the Prey series of books. I am grateful that he saw the opportunity to create a spin-off series based on one of Lucas Davenport's cohorts. Since the first Virgil Flowers book, I have been faithfully looking forward to each next one. Bad Blood is as enjoyable as its predecessors, and has left me wanting more. Mr. Sandford, please keep them coming. Don't Start With This... Go Earlier In Series! Hey... this is a totally good listen. More a police procedural than a mystery, it's still fun to take a ride with Virgil Flowers around the cold-weather cults. But to both get the nuances re. Flowers' character and to not ruin (there are spoiler alerts throughout this book) earlier Flower novels that are GREAT listens... Enjoy this Sanford novel AFTER the others in the series. Eric Conger is so comfortable that I've come to believe that he IS Virgil Flowers... crime solving and woman-loving cop. And the women are his bright, strong, equals. Hey... I gave it five stars.. so... I say... listen to Bad Blood, but do it in the order that Sanford's written these books. You'll thank me, or thank Sanford and Conger when you do. Engrossing story; favorite new audio reader! I'm a fan of John Sandford books, yes; now I'm a fan of Eric Conger's narration, too. Enjoyed both the story and the narration; always waiting for the next Virgil Flowers story...

Pump up the heat: Chipotle's sponsor is offering a million-dollar reward to anyone who can provide information leading to the capture of the killers. Stir the pot: Lula recruits bounty hunter Stephanie Plum to help her find the killers and collect the moolah. Add a secret ingredient: Stephanie's Grandma Mazur. Enough said. Bring to a boil: Can Stephanie hunt down two killers, a traitor, five skips, keep her grandmother out of the sauce, solve Ranger's problems and not jump his bones? Warning: Habanero hot. So good you'll want seconds. Members Reviews: So It Isn't Just Me! I am glad to read the comments here. On another site, a group of mature women all raved about this book so I rushed to download it s I have read all from the third installment. I love the dark mysterious Ranger but even he is starting to get on my nerves allowing this woman to pop in and out of his bed at will and play this teenage bimbo game. And what does it say for the tough guy cop and the dog who could use with some serious obedience traning. As for grandma, she needs to grow up! Maybe it is time for both of the men to have a potential love interest other than Steph just to heat things up and force this girl to make grownwoman decisions. I'm sick of hearing about that disgusting thong and what Bob did to it. A little Disappointed I love the 'Number' books and have enjoyed all of them. This one, kinda left me, less than enthused. First, it is only a little over 6 hours long. That is one travel day for me. Second, I just didn't think it had the same fun as the other ones I have read. It is still a fun read but leaves you wishing there were more meat to the story, rather than just pineapple upside down cake. Try some other of her books first I have read all of the Stephanie Plum books and this was not one of my favorite. It was not as funny as her previous books. But I would not discourage you from reading her other books - Four to Score is one of my favorites. disappointed I'm a huge Janet Evanovich fan and have read all her books but was really disappointed in "15". What happened to Lula and Tank's engagement? When is the plot going to move on? The relationships are still the same. Joe or Ranger, Ranger or Joe? Stephanie still doing the same old thing. I was hoping for a little progression in the story line. Tired of the predictability! I enjoyed most of the books in this series. They entertained me and made me laugh. But this one did not make me laugh. The characters are becoming to predictable, and the dialogue is always the same. This book focuses entirely too much on unpleasant bodily functions; and seriously, a little of that goes a long way. It isn't cute anymore.

One question, a split-second decision, and Brian Darby lies dead on the kitchen floor. His wife, state police trooper Tessa Leoni, claims to have shot him in self-defense, and bears the bruises to back up her tale. For veteran detective D. D. Warren it should be an open-and-shut case. But where is their six-year-old daughter? AND HOW FAR WOULD YOU GO... As the homicide investigation ratchets into a frantic statewide search for a missing child, D. D. Warren must partner with former lover Bobby Dodge to break through the blue wall of police brotherhood, seeking to understand the inner workings of a troopers mind while also unearthing family secrets. Would a trained police officer truly shoot her own husband? And would a mother harm her own child? ...TO SAVE HER? For Tessa Leoni, the worst has not yet happened. She is walking a tightrope, with nowhere to turn, no one to trust, as the clock ticks down to a terrifying deadline. She has one goal in sight, and she will use every ounce of her training, every trick at her disposal, to do what must be done. No sacrifice is too great, no action unthinkable. A mother knows who she loves. And all others will be made to pay. Love you more... Critic Reviews: "This book had me at the authors name. Lisa Gardnerno one owns this corner of the genre the way she does - And Love You More might be her best ever." (Lee Child) "Tessa Leoni is a dedicated single mom when she is swept away by a man who turns out to be the wrong guy. Emotionally true, harrowing, and unputdownable. Brava, Lisa Gardner!" (Lisa Scottoline) "A heart-pounding tale of family drama by the Mozart of thriller writers. I could not tear myself away." (Tess Gerritsen) Members Reviews: Keeps you guessing all the way through! I love Lisa Gardner's writing style. I couldn't imagine how she could come up with another top notch book complete with deep characters, a compelling plot, superb mystery and her signature emotional hooks. By turns, you find yourself pulling for a character and being quite certain they're the evil genius. Somehow Lisa Gardner makes you doubt your own conclusions, reverse your decisions, curse the good guys and root for the criminals. Lisa guides you through the twists and turns with more reliability than a GPS and at the end you know she's manipulated the heck out of you and you love her for it. "Love You More" was so tough to put down that I actually listened all day at work while pretending to get things done. Shhhh. Don't tell. Go Lisa! GREAT book! Edge of your seat listening! Spell-binding, spine-chilling, beautifully executed twists and turns, always another story behind a story, making for a great plot and interesting surprises. Also, very importantly, GREAT NARRATION. Without good narration, any story, even an excellent one, can be rendered frustrating and non-listenable (which unfortunately, I've run across a few times with my Audible purchases). Not so here. Great story, great narration, a winning combination! Recommended thriller - with substance I like the way this book is narrated with a different voice for each of the two main characters -- both rather under-dramatized but introspective, as if speaking from a personal level rather than acting.

Emerson Knight is introverted and eccentric and has little to no sense of social etiquette. Good thing he's also brilliant, rich, and (some people might say) handsome, or he'd probably be homeless. Riley Moon has just graduated from Harvard Business and Harvard Law. Her aggressive Texas spitfire attitude has helped her land her dream job as a junior analyst with megabank Blane-Grunwald. At least Riley Moon thought it was her dream job, until she is given her first assignment: babysitting Emerson Knight. What starts off as an inquiry about missing bank funds in the Knight account leads to inquiries about a missing man, missing gold, and a life-and-death race across the country. Through the streets of Washington, DC, and down into the underground vault of the Federal Reserve in New York City, an evil plan is exposed. A plan so sinister that only a megalomaniac could think it up, and only the unlikely duo of the irrepressibly charming Emerson Knight and the tenacious Riley Moon can stop it. Members Reviews: Next book please!!!! Her voice! Riley's voice is exact Teaxan and priceless. I love how she can adapt new voices. I do recognize one from another book but great nonetheless. This book is Stephanie Plum( who I love, hands down the best books ever in her category) subdued. Absolutely, positively entertaining. This is a calm breeze Stephanie Plum where the action is not overworked and the jokes are for those with intellectual comedic understanding. Emerson is a true pleasure. Thank you so much for another great series!! I loved it. A fun twist on sherlock holmes style mystery. It's fun to see the mad conspiracies that are so vast they don't make you worry. Emerson was charmingly awkward. Eccentric and ridiculous but with an odd sweetness that negated the urge I get when I watch sherlock to punch the brilliant mind. Riley was fun down to earth, and grounded (in student debt). She reacted in a very natural way to the man and the mystery. I can't wait for future stories, I definitely recommend this book. Stephanie Plum part 2 Same characters:different names. Riley is Stephanie; Myra is a cross between Lula and Grandma. Knight is part Ranger and part nut. Having the same narrator didn't help. fantastic!!!! I could not stop listening. Fun, adventurous, humorous, and well worth the credit used!! I can't wait for the second book!! loved it. Awesome Janet Evanovich always writes stories that make me laugh, hold my breath a moment and genuinely entertains. I always anticipate her next release and mark my calendar to remind myself. By far my favorite author. I own over 600 audible books in my library and she has always been the go to author when I want to just unwind!

Given her experiences so far in the New World, Molly has decided that her first order of business is to become a private investigator, a people finder of sorts, working for families in Europe who've lost touch with relatives in America. Not only might this put some food on her table, but her second order of business is to hook the handsome NYPD police captain Daniel Sullivan, and she envisions lots of opportunities to "seek his counsel" in her new profession. Paddy Riley is a tough old Cockney P.I. who specializes in divorce work, and with a little persuasion he's ready to take on Molly as an apprentice. It's not exactly what she imagined, but she plans to make the most of it. That is, until she comes in to work one day to find her new world turned upside down and all expectations for her professional life suddenly up in the air. Before long, Molly has set off on a journey that will take her through the back alleys of Manhattan and into the bars and lounges of the literary scene, where she spends time with writers, actors, poets, and musicians. It's quite an eye-opening turn for innocent young Molly, but she's resolute in her decision to find out exactly what happened that day in the office of Paddy Riley. Armed with nothing more than her fiery will and matching wild red hair, Molly has no idea of the danger her pursuit may bring in this fascinating, well-researched, and suspenseful second novel in Rhys Bowen's Agatha-award winning series. Members Reviews: Delightfully fun series Just finished this and Murphy's Law (#1) can't wait to keep going. The narrator I already loved from The Rose Garden (check it out!!--I've listened to it twice and my daughter loved it too.) The narrator makes this character completely believable. If you liked Nancy Drew once upon a time, think of this as Nancy-Drew-for-grown-ups except without the unbridled confidence and worldly-wise-ness of Nancy (which was always annoying anyway--so this character is far more believable than Nancy). Light and relaxed adventure/detective/romance. I always looked forward to turning it back on. Just enjoy them. (I've gotten the whole series.) Enjoyable historical cozy mystery series I enjoyed this second book in the series just as much as the first. This one was more mystery and less history. Molly's naïveté can be frustrating sometimes but she is so delightful that it doesn't bother me as much as it might in a different character. Nicola Barber does a very good job narrating the audiobook despite the fact that her American accents are not the best and all American men basically sound the same. Her voice for Molly is great as are her voices for all the immigrant characters. All in all, a solid performance and an enjoyable series. Mystery at the Turn What made the experience of listening to Death of Riley the most enjoyable? Nicola Barber does a fine job of bring the colorful characters within Rhys Bowen's book. I love the setting of New York city during the first of the 1900s.

Title: Night Prey Subtitle: A Lucas Davenport Novel Author: John Sandford Narrator: Richard Ferrone Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 48 mins Language: English Release date: 04-12-11 Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 1436 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Modern Detective Publisher's Summary: John Sandford's best-selling Lucas Davenport series continues with the fast-paced, compelling thriller, Night Prey. A series of deaths leads to the possibility of a brutal serial killer of unusual skill and savagery. And if Lucas is right, the killer is just getting warmed up.... Members Reviews: Tense and builds steam So happy early books were re-recorded with Richard Ferrone. He is Lucas Davenport and makes tyhe books so much better. Story builds with intensity throughout the book until the eventual ending. Good book I enjoyed it very much. I enjoyed this..... These are never brain surgery but it's fun to see the way Lucas and his crew works and there is always a pretty good degree of tension. Lucas tends to be kind of a dog but a smart one. This one makes me wonder if he's growing up. Have to wait and see. I'm sure I'll get more, I just wished I wasn't going to have to switch to Abridged if I want to listen to some of them. I really don't want abridged...... Like the narrator. He works well with the characters. I'm glad he does the next two unabridged ones. Night Prey is a Thriller A single killer rarely creates as much mayhem as Koop. As Davenport moves in tension rises to OMG moments. Great thriller! finishing up on Clara Rinker I enjoyed this one best of all because it finished Clara Rinker. I was surprised on the ending but if you know the ending what is the point in reading the story anyway. I am however disappointed that Naked Prey is not in the list to be read. Audible will have to take care to put it in their package. I'm Picky & Cranky & I Liked It A Bunch Wuddaya want from a police recedural thriller? It's here. Sandfrord was very good when he wrote this one. Which means that Lucas Davenport holds up as a rich, macho, intelligent cop/detective. If you read for more entertainment than TV or the movies are generally giving out.... Read this. If you want War And Peace... I see that it's on sale. That's not what I wanted, this was... It did not disappoint.

Title: Dead Souls Subtitle: Detective Kim Stone Crime Thriller Series, Book 6 Author: Angela Marsons Narrator: Jan Cramer Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 14 mins Language: English Release date: 05-02-17 Publisher: Bookouture Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 479 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Modern Detective Publisher's Summary: UPDATE FOR ANYONE WHO PURCHASED THIS AUDIO TITLE PRIOR TO MAY 10 2017:The complete audiobook edition of DEAD SOULS is now available. The truth was dead and buried...until now. When a collection of human bones is unearthed during a routine archaeological dig, a Black Country field suddenly becomes a complex crime scene for Detective Kim Stone. As the bones are sorted, it becomes clear that the grave contains more than one victim. The bodies hint at unimaginable horror, bearing the markings of bullet holes and animal traps. Forced to work alongside Detective Travis, with whom she shares a troubled past, Kim begins to uncover a dark, secretive relationship between the families who own the land in which the bodies were found. But while Kim is immersed in one of the most complicated investigations she's ever led, her team are caught up in a spate of sickening hate crimes. Kim is close to revealing the truth behind the murders yet soon finds one of her own is in jeopardy - and the clock is ticking. Can she solve the case and save them from grave danger before it's too late? An addictive, sinister crime thriller that will have listeners on the edges of their seats. Members Reviews: Stunning, Perceptive, Terrifying Thriller Dead Souls, Angela Marsons' 6th novel in her knockout DCI Kim Stone series, is a standout in many ways. This is one of my favorite crime thriller series, and Dead Souls may be the best yet. This novel breaks the mold of the suspense genre. The writing is fluid, descriptive, engaging. We are given outstanding characters, exciting plots, and interesting relationships within the team. Dead Souls takes it a step further by making the somewhat risky move into splitting Kim's team for this book. We start with an unlikely pairing of Kim (not her idea!) with her archenemy, DCI Tom Travis, from the neighboring West Mercier precinct to investigate the discovery of bones buried in a large piece of land straddling both territories. Dawson, Bryant and Stacie are left to fend for themselves, missing their strong leader, to investigate a series of disturbing, seemingly random assaults that soon begins to look like a rash of hate crimes. But latent discord among the detectives sans Kim Stone starts coming to the surface, leading to splits among the team and one detective making the fateful decision to follow a dangerous hunch without a word to her colleagues. When Kim's investigation into past murders looks like it might be related to the current crimes, the tension ramps up, and one of their own is thrust into a horrific life- or- death situation that will have your heart racing. I commend the author for having the guts to not only risk a potential reader revolt with the temporary team-splitting in Dead Souls, but also to delve into the highly sensitive and emotionally-charged social issue of racism and hate crimes. The crimes in this novel are devastating. Reflecting on how crime can be so cruelly arbitrary left me with a sense of loss and sadness. The author conveys the victims' fear &confusion to the reader through brief yet powerful statements that are realistic, not maudlin. The author makes the reader feel the detectives' level of understanding and outrage grow as they educate themselves, and thus the reader, about the crimes they investigate. I love that Ms.

AudioFile Magazine She almost caught him once. Now, he's back. For three years, Investigator Cassie Dewell has been on a hunt for a serial killer known as the Lizard King whose hunting grounds are the highways and truck stops where runaways and prostitutes are most likely to vanish. Cassie almost caught him...once. Working for the Bakken County, North Dakota sheriff's department, Cassie has set what she believes is the perfect trap, and she has lured him and his truck to a depot. But the plan goes horribly wrong, and the blame falls on Cassie. Disgraced, she loses her job, and investigation into her role is put into motion. At the same time, Kyle Westergaard, a troubled kid whom Cassie has taken under her wing, has disappeared after telling people that he's going off on a long-planned adventure. Kyle's grandmother begs Cassie to find him, and, with nothing else to do, Cassie agrees - all the while hunting the truck driver. Now Cassie is a lone wolf. And in the same way that two streams converge into a river, Kyle's disappearance may have a more sinister meaning than anyone realizes. With no allies, no support, and only her own wits to rely on, Cassie must take down a killer who is as ruthless as he is cunning. But can she do it alone, without losing her own humanity or her own life? Members Reviews: Excellent This was a fantastic book! So well written! Loved Cassie and hope to see her in another book or series! I now have listened to all of CJ. Box's book! Five star everyone! Thank you Joe, Nate and Cassie Awesome As always CJ Box has written an exciting mystery. ,filled with surprise twists and turns. He goes about the evil things very well, but keeps the good shown in his protagonist Cassie Dual and some of the law enforcement that assist her in tracking down killer's. The evil one Lizard King has been around too long, in his previous books, so I'm glad this is the last of him. The narration by Christina Delaine was excellent, she does male and female interpretations beautifully. I look forward to hear more of her narration. Looking forward to more CJ Boxes's novels. I'm a fan. Janice Nice! A female protagonist! I liked the cast of characters in this story. I liked the plot--mostly. It was a little bit too coincidental, but that's C. J. Box. You buckle up and go along for the ride. I'd like to give it more than 4 stars, but I can't quite get to 5. I'd definitely read more about Cassie, but there's something lacking in the character development. I came away with a better sense of Bull than I did Cassie. Of course, Bull hits right in that sweet spot that Mr. Box does so well. Cassie is a departure for him. For a first effort, it wasn't bad. Solid B+. He still has a ways to go to effortlessly describe a female character. I think he could benefit from reading some female authors (oh, the horror!) like Karin Slaughter. She absolutely nails that female, career cop character with Amanda. Gripping Story Hereis the ideal audiosuspense novel. Tension starts with the first Word and is relentless throughout.

In Munich, writer Benjamin Stern enters his flat to find a man leafing through his research. When Stern confronts him, the man shoots him, murmurs a few words in Latin, gathers the papers and leaves. In Venice, art restorer and Israeli agent Gabriel Allon reads a message saying that Stern is dead; can he leave immediately? At the Vatican, a priest named Pietro paces in the garden, pondering the discoveries he has made, the enemies he will make, and the journey he must undertake. Silva weaves these three threads into a multilayered mystery peopled with memorable characters and distinguished by rich prose. ©2003 Daniel Silva (P)2003 Books on Tape, Inc. Critic Reviews: "Silva...writes with the atmospheric grace and whiplash tension of le Carre." (Booklist) Members Reviews: Exciting, intriguing If you like history, ancient cities, espionage, religious corruption and intrigue then this book is for you. The story dabbles a bit in art history and lots in world history, specific world war II and the catholic churches involvement in the holocaust. The Confessor is about two less than specific groups of people directory tied to the the Holy See (Vatican City) who have different points of view on what is right for the Roman Curia and the disposition of their involvement in the events of World War II. It's very exciting and worth a listen, without a doubt. good story but over rated I was influenced to listen to this book due to it's raving reviews and high stars. It was an entertaining story but it was not stellar. It wasn't particuarly the best thriller I've read and the writting style was a bit clumsy. the reader was excellent and brought what would have been a drab read to life. The Confessor (Unabridged) A truly great book with John Lee doing a fantastic job of narrating. Well written with totally unexpected twists and turns and a story that spans from 1942 to the present that brings together cultures, religions, the inner workings of the Church in Rome, politics, intrigue and mystery. Don't miss this one. Silva's Consistant Daniel Silva wraps action advenure, mystery and recent history into an entertaining listen. His Israeli Mossad characters expose the horror of the Holocaust using fictional modern day events. The narration is reserved and sets an excellent tone for the theme. Great characters I like spy thrillers but so many of them are populated with unbelieveable characters in weak plots. The confessor had a very interesting story, with people I developed an affection for. It is definitely worth listening to.

Silken Prey Audiobook by John Sandford

Title: Silken Prey Subtitle: Lucas Davenport, Book 23 Author: John Sandford Narrator: Richard Ferrone Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 18 mins Language: English Release date: 05-07-13 Publisher: Penguin Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 2243 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Modern Detective Publisher's Summary: Murder, scandal, political espionage, and an extremely dangerous woman. Lucas Davenports going to be lucky to get out of this one alive.... Very early one morning, a Minnesota political fixer answers his doorbell. The next thing he knows, hes waking up on the floor of a moving car, lying on a plastic sheet, his body wet with blood. When the car stops, a voice says, "Hey, I think hes breathing." And another voice says, "Yeah? Give me the bat." And thats the last thing he knows. Davenport is investigating another case when the trail leads to the mans disappearance, then - very troublingly - to the Minneapolis police department, then - most troublingly of all - to a woman who could give Machiavelli lessons. She has very definite ideas about the way the world should work, and the money, ruthlessness, and sheer will to make it happen. Critic Reviews: "If you havent read Sandford yet, you have been missing one of the great summer-read novelists of all time." (Stephen King, Entertainment Weekly) Members Reviews: Politics, Pornography, and Murder The Prey series continues with another solid Lucas Davenport "mystery"--although it's not really a mystery as we know from the beginning who did it, what was done, and why they did it. The fun part is riding along with Lucas and the gang while they figure it out and get the culprits. The author has lightened up on his gruesome, bloody, murder scenes which I remember so vividly in his early novels. However, the witty banter and close relationships shared by Lucas and his fellow detectives and cops are still a big part of his stories. These guys really seem to like their jobs, and truly like each other, which is part of their appeal. This one is set on the political stage as Lucas is called in to find out if there are dirty tricks being played in a new Senate race. It starts out with allegations of pornography and develops into murder. This isn't the best John Sandford, but it did have enough intrigue and interesting characters to keep me listening. As with any series, there is a chance of becoming tired of the same type of storyline unless the author steps it up somehow, and I would like to see something new in his next one. Recommended for any long time Davenport fans, as well as new readers. If you're new to this series, starting from the beginning will introduce you to family members and friends as they developed over the years, however, this is fine as a stand alone novel. one of the better Prey's I like the PREY novels for several reasons. I like, for example, the companionable ways in which the police work together -- as distinct from the angst-ridden, loner-detective at odds with all fellow cops and especially his superiors. And this is one of my favorite PREY novels. The villains are more nearly recognizably human than are some of Sandford's villains. Still my favorite combo of author and reader If you could sum up Silken Prey in three words, what would they be? Classic Lucas Davenport. What other book might you compare Silken Prey to and why? Silken Prey harks back to the early books in the Prey series when Davenport was beginning to emerge as a master blender of political 'management' and police procedure.

Blue Labyrinth Audiobook by Douglas Preston, Lincoln Child

Title: Blue Labyrinth Author: Douglas Preston, Lincoln Child Narrator: Rene Auberjonois Format: Unabridged Length: 14 hrs and 11 mins Language: English Release date: 11-11-14 Publisher: Hachette Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 4081 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Modern Detective Publisher's Summary: A long-buried family secret resurfaces when one of Aloysius Pendergast's most implacable enemies shows up on his doorstep as a murdered corpse. The mystery has all the hallmarks of the perfect murder, save for an enigmatic clue: a piece of turquoise lodged in the stomach of the deceased. The gem leads Pendergast to an abandoned mine on the shore of California's desolate Salton Sea, which in turn propels him on a journey of discovery deep into his family's sinister past. But Pendergast learns there is more at work than a ghastly episode of family history: he is soon stalked by a subtle killer bent on vengeance over an ancient transgression. In short order, Pendergast is caught in a wickedly clever plot, which will leave him stricken in mind and body...and may well end with his death. Critic Reviews: "The best Pendergast book yet - a collision between past and present that will leave you breathless." (Lee Child - White Fire) "Preston and Child have created a terrific mix of mystery and the unexpected that will keep you reading into the late hours of the night. They promise a great read and they have delivered." (Clive Cussler) Members Reviews: Twists and Tuns in the Pendergast Family Tree This novel opens with a surprise on Pendergast's doorstep. This novel explores the Pendergast tree and dig into his history. I liked this aspect. I like that Constance green is back in the picture. The whole series is a modern day Sherlock Holmes series of stories (with many different Watsons). Rene Auberjonis is the long time narrator and does an outstanding performance. If you have not read any of these novels, you really have a great deal of work ahead of you. I love these novels because they are heavy on thrill and very light on blood and gore. I recommend you read this latest, more of the Pendergast story is always interesting. Pendergast novels just keep getting better I am a huge fan of this series and have enjoyed all the books, some more than others. However, this one is absolutely my new favorite. This story will be most meaningful for those of us who have read all the Pendergast novels and can keep track of the characters. The authors pull characters and events from the past into this story so well. I really enjoyed some of the "old characters" back again in a new adventure. Constance was wonderful. This story is full of the usual action, but very moving also, as Pendergast deals with facing death himself as well as the violent death of a family member. The relationship between Pendergast and Constance becomes clearer. The narrator, as always, was great. You will love this book and it will be especially meaningful for you if you know the characters. Now I have to wait for the next Pendergast novel! Hurry up guys!! Bizarre, Outlandish, Wonderful Fun One does begin to wonder how many homicidal billionaires bent on exacting some sort of multi-generational revenge there can realistically be in the world - but of course, if you're a fan of P&C, you're probably pretty comfortable suspending disbelief so you can enjoy the spectacular ride. As a fan since "The Relic," I found this story really satisfying - a deliciously twisty mystery that takes us from an abandoned resort town in California to the slums of Rio de Janeiro to the basement of the New York Museum of Natural History.

His best friend is his low-energy Basset hound Jake, with whom he shares a simple life of stealing cars. Simple, that is, until Ruddy starts hearing a voice in his head. The voice introduces himself as Alan Lottner, a dead realtor. Ruddy isnt sure if Alan is real, or if hes losing his mind. To complicate matters, it turns out Katie, the girl hes fallen for, is Alans daughter.When Alan demands Ruddy find his murderers, Ruddy decides a voice in your head seeking vengeance is best ignored. When Alan also demands he clean up his act, and apartment, Ruddy tells him to back off, but where can a voice in your head go? With a sweet romance, a murder mystery, a lazy but loyal dog and a town full of cabin-fevered characters you cant help but love, New York Times best-selling novelist W. Bruce Camerons The Midnight Plan of the Repo Man, yet another laugh-out-loud, keep-you-up-late, irresistible read. Members Reviews: As Good As It Gets Bruce Cameron has combined remarkable wit with uncanny dialogue to create one of the best new heroes and most fun novels ever. I loved every character, every scene every moment of this book. Narrator George Wilson's performance and timing is flawless here. I'd put him in the top 5 narrators. Ruddi McCann, ex football star, ex con turned repo man has a peculiar problem. He hears voices. I'd go further, but it would spoil too much of the story. In some ways he is a combination of Jack Reacher and one of Carl Hiasson's quick witted stars who is surrounded by a bizarre set of characters in an even more bizarre set of circumstances. I laughed and smiled through the one day it took to finish the book I'd put this book up on the same level as Big Little Lies, and that should be enough said. Promising new series Mystery-solving with wisecracking humor, good characters, adventures of a resilient repo man. Definitely worth your credit if this appeals--There is a "prequel" story introducing the characters, especially the dog, called "Midnight Dog of the Repo Man"--short, inexpensive, worth "reading." The Repo Man Gets Lucky This book is just an overall fun book, the foremat was a little different, the characters were is dysfunctional as most people I know. That made me feel a little more comfortable about the world I liven. George Wilson did a really good job bringing the characters to life, and I truly enjoyed his laid back matter of fact style when he tells the story. Bruce Cammeron created a new concept on dealing with 2 characters in one physical body...I told you it was fun! Kept me running This is the rare audiobook that I ran more miles to keep listening and I run for my health, not the love of it. I'd downloaded it because the reviews said it was funny and it certainly was, but I cared about the characters. I think this was my favorite of 2016--at least so far. I'm definitely on board for the series. Definitely recommend! Mystery, Murder, Comedy, And A Little Love! This is a fun, easy listen, a pleasant change of pace for me after a bunch of more serious listens. Ruddy McCann is an entertaining character, a repo man who suddenly finds himself sharing his body with a dead realtor, Alan Lottner.

The result wasnt what Mrck - or readers - expected, but by the opening of Adler-Olsens shocking, fast-paced follow-up, Mrck is satisfied with the notion of picking up long-cold leads. So hes naturally intrigued when a closed case lands on his desk: A brother and sister were brutally murdered two decades earlier, and one of the suspects - part of a group of privileged boarding-school students - confessed and was convicted. But once Mrck reopens the files, it becomes clear that all is not what it seems. Looking into the supposedly solved case leads him to Kimmie, a woman living on the streets, stealing to survive. Kimmie has mastered evading the police, but now they arent the only ones looking for her. Because Kimmie has secrets that certain influential individuals would kill to keep buried... as well as one of her own that could turn everything on its head. Every bit as pulse-pounding as the book that launched the series, The Absent One delivers further proof that Jussi Adler-Olsen is one of the world's premier thriller writers. Members Reviews: New favorite author Where does The Absent One rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? Top 25 percent Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How? Enjoyed the story development. Enough "I didn't see that coming" to keep me on my toes. Have you listened to any of Steven Paceys other performances before? How does this one compare? No. At first I missed Erik Davies but then fell into step with Pacey and enjoyed his narration as well Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Pretty much Any additional comments? Anxious for Adler-Olsen's third book translation. This is a lot like I felt reading Steig Larsson....but Adler-Olsen is a little less graphic! Great story done justice by a great reader Would you listen to The Absent One again? Why? Yes! Steven Pacey does a great job of bringing to life the world of Department Q. Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How? The plot is smart and twisted and brought to life by quirky and complex characters. Have you listened to any of Steven Paceys other performances before? How does this one compare? This is my first Steven Pacey book. Any additional comments? Erik Davies read the first book in this series, Keeper of Lost Causes. It was an adjustment to switch to Steven Pacey, but he did the book justice. I think you really have to read the first book to truly appreciate the second one. Into Withdrawal...Can't wait for the next Dept. Q! Weirdly haunting. Carl Mrck is strangely intriguing. His dank character interplays with the grayness of Jussi Adler-Olsen's Denmark. He peers about the culture like a flashlight into murk collecting pieces for us to support his finely plotted tale. This is the second chapter in Merck's tale and ideally you should start with "The Keeper Of Lost Causes" to fill in the background - and enjoy an entirely different storyline. Warning... Merck's not for the squeamish... this is adult stuff, but stuffed into a satisfying treat. Beginning to shudder now... waiting for the next Dept. Q investigation. Soon? Who knew? Titles can tell much about a book. The Danish title is "The Pheasant Killers", the U.K.

Media coverage quickly reaches fever pitch: Could this be the work of a serial killer? The crime scenes offer no coherent clues, the police investigation is stalled, and the one man who might be able to help doesn't want to be found. Traumatized by his last case, Inspector Harry Hole has lost himself in the squalor of Hong Kong's opium dens. Yet when he is compelled, at last, to return to Norway - his father is dying - Harry's buried instincts begin to take over. After a female MP is discovered brutally murdered, nothing can keep him from the investigation. There is little to go on: a piece of rope, a scrap of wool, a bit of gravel, an unexpected connection between the victims. And Harry will soon come to understand that he is dealing with a psychopath for whom insanity is a vital retreat, someone who will put him to the test in both his professional and personal lives as never before. Ruthlessly intelligent and suspenseful, The Leopard is Jo Nesbo's most electrifying novel yet - absolutely gripping from first to last. Critic Reviews: Intense . . . Nesb moves the action easily from Hong Kong to Norway, with side trips to the Democratic Republic of Congo, without ever losing the plots sense of urgency. ( Publishers Weekly, starred) Nesb knows exactly what hes doing [in] this gripping, intricately plotted tale . . . Like all intelligent crime fiction, this book is not only about multiple murders by heinous means. It is also about legacies, most specifically about the good and evil, love and hate, passed from one generation to the next. This vivid, violent novel promises to speak on many levels to many readers. ( Library Journal) Outstanding . . . Probably the best big crime novel you could lay your hands on this year. ( BBC Radio 4) Members Reviews: A Tough Listen, an Irresistible Series I've listened to every available Jo Nesbo Harry Hole book. Each one seems to get more violent and harder to listen to, yet they keep me hooked. The plots are intricate and twisted. Mistakes are made. But I want Harry to be happy, and it seems that he suffers more emotionally and physically with each book. The author is literally dismatling Harry by bits--a finger in the Snowman, his jaw in the Leopard. A brilliant, flawed and doomed hero. How can you resist that? I hope the books currently unavailable in the US are soon translated; I want to know what happens in between those now available and in the beginning. I'll keep coming back as long as the books keep coming over. Simply Fantastic! A great buy! I have to say I've enjoyed the Harry Hole series just as much as the Dragon Tattoo trilogy, if not more. The detective work is fascinating and clever. The infighting and inter-dept police politics bring both frustration and humor to this remarkable novel. Best of all we are blessed to see inside the mind of a genious detective and possibly the best hero I've encountered in any series. Buy this book! You will not regret it. The Gauntlet Has Been Thrown Down, Michael Michael Connelly, Jo Nesbo - the two best writers of detective fiction over the last decade in this humble reviewers opinion.

Title: Cockroaches Subtitle: The Second Inspector Harry Hole Novel Author: Jo Nesb Narrator: John Lee Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 48 mins Language: English Release date: 02-11-14 Publisher: Random House Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 914 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Modern Detective Publisher's Summary: When the Norwegian ambassador to Thailand is found dead in a Bangkok brothel, Inspector Harry Hole is dispatched from Oslo to help hush up the case. But once he arrives Harry discovers that this case is about much more than one random murder. There is something else, something more pervasive, scrabbling around behind the scenes. Or, put another way, for every cockroach you see in your hotel room, there are hundreds behind the walls. Surrounded by round-the-clock traffic noise, Harry wanders the streets of Bangkok lined with go-go bars, temples, opium dens, and tourist traps, trying to piece together the story of the ambassadors death even though no one asked him to, and no one wants him to - not even Harry himself. Critic Reviews: "Another excellent thriller, the most popular among his earlier novels and one that casts a cold eye on the reality of expatriate life of some Europeans in Asia." (The Irish Independent) "Nesb writes like an angel. As in Lucifer." (The Philadelphia Inquirer) "Nesb explores the darkest criminal minds with grim delight and puts his killer where you least expect to find them.... His novels are maddeningly addictive." (Vanity Fair) Members Reviews: The Rest of the Harry Hole Series is Excellent! If you read reviews of any of the other books in the Harry Hole series, you will notice that Jo Nesbo is held in the highest esteem from listeners of thriller / mystery audio books. There are parts of this 2nd book in the series that are not great, but I never wanted to stop listening and found parts of it enjoyable. Here are some of my thoughts regarding this book: 1) The story was written with very short chapters so that you sometimes got lost with the changing scenery and people. I had to listen to several sections over again. Nesbo's plots are always complex so you had to constantly concentrate while listening. 2) If you try to read the books in some sort of order, you will realize that Nesbo's writing improves dramatically after this 2nd book.I also enjoyed the first book, but it probably got lots of editing and re-work since he was a new author. 3) The narrator, John Lee, was not a great choice for this book. His voice for Harry was acceptable, but his accent and voice for every other character was so affected that it could drive you nuts. In the end though, there was some interesting scenes and the descriptions of Thailand were good. Give Harry Hole and Jo Nesbo another try. My favorite is "The Snowman." Confusing, Glad I Read This Last. The Harry Hole series remains the best detective series I've experienced in literature. It's a shame some folks may not get past this one. Like a previous reviewer, I found myself going back over chapters as if I missed something. As for John Lee, I think he's one of the best. His work on Noble House may be the best performance on Audible. Dissappointing This is the first Harry Hole book I haven't finished. It was just plain boring, perhaps in part because of John Lee's narration. His voice was annoying, and he didn't differentiate the characters. This made keeping track of the Norwegian and Thai names so difficult that I actually downloaded a sample to my Kindle just so I could identify the cast of characters. Jo Nesbo is on my favorite authors, and his Harry Hole one of my favorite characters and series.

Title: What the Night Knows Author: Dean Koontz Narrator: Steven Weber Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 25 mins Language: English Release date: 12-28-10 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 3402 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Modern Detective Publisher's Summary: In the late summer of a long-ago year, a killer arrived in a small city. His name was Alton Turner Blackwood, and in the space of a few months he brutally murdered four families. His savage spree ended only when he himself was killed by the last survivor of the last family, a 14-year-old boy. Half a continent away and two decades later, someone is murdering families again, re-creating in detail Blackwoods crimes. Homicide detective John Calvino is certain that his own family his wife and three children will be targets in the fourth crime, just as his parents and sisters were victims on that distant night when he was 14 and killed their slayer. As a detective, John is a man of reason who deals in cold facts. But an extraordinary experience convinces him that sometimes death is not a one-way journey, that sometimes the dead return. Here is a ghost story like no other you have read. In the Calvinos, Dean Koontz brings to life a family that might be your own, in a war for their survival against an adversary more malevolent than any he has yet created, with their own home the battleground. Of all his acclaimed novels, none exceeds What the Night Knows in power, in chilling suspense, and in sheer mesmerizing storytelling. Critic Reviews: Dean Koontz... has the power to scare the daylights out of us. (People) Koontz seems to know us, our deepest foibles and fears. (USA Today) Koontz writes first-rate suspense, scary and stylish. (Los Angeles Times) Members Reviews: One of the better Koontz books Yes, he's wordy and overly descriptive. It's his style. If you don't like it, don't read a Koontz book. But if you do like his style and his books, you will love this book. I didn't find it predictable at all. The narrator was perfect and drew me into the story and kept me totally entertained. I'm ready to start listening to it all over again. Koontz is back! I have read all of the Koontz books,new and old, and was disappointed in the last few but "What the night knows" brought back the Koontz I love to read or listen to. Very enjoyable. I LOVED it! This was a very good book. If you have read a lot of Dean Koontz books then you are used to the super-natural aspect that they sometimes have. I would suggest not reading them if you can not free up your mind a little because some on them, like this one, require an open mind for a part or two! If you can do that just a little then this book won't disapoint, but if you have to understand the science behind every aspect of a book then you will have a moment or 3 that will have you unhappy. Again, I loved this book and I look forward to the next one. Finally, a Dean Koontz that reads as a Dean Koontz I have been a Dean Koontz fan for more years than I can count. I had been disappointed in some of his newer stuff, and preperred to re-read his older stories. Finally! Here is a new one that was suspensful, great storyline and the dialog was believable. However, in some places in the story, I did get a little confused but was able to catch up quickly. I felt this was Vintage Koontz and it was very enjoyable. I may read it again next week! nice surprise Although I know Koontz can be somewhat redundant in his plots, I thought this was an entertaining and fresh approach to his supernatural narrative. I have been disappointed by some of his recent work, but thoroughly enjoyed this story.

Logan Harper isn't looking for redemption. He just wants to live in peace and forget his troubled past. But one morning his quiet life is upended when he interrupts the attempted murder of his father's best friend Tooney. The next thing Logan knows, he's on his way to Los Angeles, searching for Tooney's missing granddaughter and uncovering a sinister plot connected not only to Tooney's Burmese past, but also to the boardrooms of corporate America. As the odds stack up against him, Logan must fall back on old skills from the life he'd rather forget. He's made a promise, and the only way to fulfill it is to bring the girl home alive. Critic Reviews: "The best word I can use to describe his writing is addictive." (James Rollins) "Battles has a true gift for writing thrillers." (Crimespree magazine) Members Reviews: Oustanding! Battles does it again! Brett Battles does it again with this great new series. It's definitely different from the Jonathan Quinn series (which you should read too), but Logan Harper is an equally thrilling, complex, and interesting character. And also once again, Battles takes us on a thrilling ride across the globe --- all to save a girl. I could not recommend this any more! Great Story Brett Battles is a great writer! His stories keep you involved to the end. I haven't been dissappointed in any of his writings nor have anyone that I have referred him too! Logan Harper is a great and complex new character! Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How? Oh definately! I even listened to this book while doing my house work. Which character as performed by Jeff Woodman was your favorite? Harp, Logan's dad, was my favorite. Jeff did a great job depicting both father and son even when the chafracters were terse with each other. Great narrator, great story This book was really good. The narrator made it even that much better. Great job. The story took place in several locations but kept everything cohesive. No depth What would have made Little Girl Gone better? Different narrator & more depth to the characters Has Little Girl Gone turned you off from other books in this genre? No How did the narrator detract from the book? It felt amateurish. The scene could be serious or dire but the narrator sounded light hearted. You didnt love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities? Not really. Any additional comments? I have really enjoyed other works by Brett Battles but I will not pursue the rest of this series.

Lean Mean Thirteen Audiobook by Janet Evanovich

Title: Lean Mean Thirteen Author: Janet Evanovich Narrator: Lorelei King Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 43 mins Language: English Release date: 06-01-07 Publisher: Macmillan Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 1906 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Modern Detective Publisher's Summary: From coast to coast and around the world, Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum novels continue to make best-selling history each summer. In the 13th book in the series, the stakes are raised even higher as Stephanie Plum finds herself in her most dangerous, hilarious, hottest, chase yet. With her lovable, offbeat family along for the ride (as well as a few new faces), there's no doubt that the Stephanie Plum novels put the "fun" in dysfunctional. And it's clear to see why they're called "Hot Stuff" by the New York Times - and why Evanovich herself is called "the master". Jersey girl: listen to more in the series. ©2007 Janet Evanovich (P)2007 Audio Renaissance, a division of Holtzbrinck Publishers LLC Critic Reviews: "Best-seller Evanovich is in top, quirky form....[she] proves once again that Stephanie Plum and her entourage are here to stay." ( Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: Same flavor, different package "Thirteen" is good if you liked "Twelve"; if you did not, then skip it. Props to Ms Evanovich for the exploding taxidermy, for Grandma Mazur's continuing romantic exploits, for Tank and Lula's ongoing intrigue (we learn Tank's first name in this one), and for more plausible FTAs. It's a pleasure to see Stephanie becoming more capable and self-sufficent. Morelli is conveniently absent for much of the story and Stephanie is with Ranger. Both guys are likable characters, Ranger has more dimension than in the books before #12 but the continuing three-way with Ranger and Morelli is just not believable. (Steph, go with Ranger.) Glad there were not sightings of the idiot sister Valerie in this book. I get the impression that Ms. Evanovich is reframing her formula for these books and I like the change. Plum Lovin'! I am a Stephanie Plum fan and this is her best yet! It makes me wonder where we will go next with these original, sassy make-you-laugh-out-loud characters. If need a light-hearted, fun, feel-good read this is for you! Plum Funny Stephanie Plum is a "bounty hunter" extraordinaire who somehow manages to blow up a car or two in every book. Lula, her sidekick is an ex-"ho" who carries a Glock and seems to always be around when trouble starts. And trouble does follow Stephanie in her quest to track down her "skips", people who have missed their court dates. The two men in her life, Ranger (dark, dreamy and dangerous) and Morelli (100% sizzling Italian cop), are very protective of Stephanie and have found a way to work together to keep her from getting killed by the many crazy people in her life. This book is by far the funniest book in the series and I found myself laughing out loud many times while listening. In the interview after the book, the author offers some insight into a possible movie starring Sandra Bullock as Stephanie Plum. She said there was nothing in the works but that there might be something "someday". She said maybe the "Rock" for Ranger but didn't know who would play Morelli. Another Evanovich Perhaps I have just read too many of her books, but there is definitely something missing when listening to this one. I truly enjoyed the first 9 of this series (I read those in print).

She knew living in Rockton meant living off the grid completely: no cell phones, no Internet, no mail, very little electricity, and no way of getting in or out without the town council's approval. What she didn't expect is that Rockton comes with its own set of secrets and dangers. Now, in A Darkness Absolute, Casey and her fellow Rockton sheriff's deputy Will chase a cabin-fevered resident into the woods, where they are stranded in a blizzard. Taking shelter in a cave, they discover a former resident who's been held captive for over a year. When the bodies of two other women turn up, Casey and her colleagues must find out if it's an outsider behind the killings or if the answer is more complicated than that...before another victim goes missing. Casey Duncan returns in another heart-racing thriller from number-one New York Times best-selling author Kelley Armstrong. Members Reviews: Amazing thriller!! This book was amazing!! I couldnt stop listening. Plummer is the best narrator out there! She made the story soooo much more exciting! Could have done without all the F bombs!!! Unputdownable I enjoyed A Darkness Absolute very, very much. I can't wait for the sequel! The setting is particularly interesting. Enjoyable 2nd book in series I enjoyed traveling to Rockton and working on a case with Casey and Eric. figuring out who done it was interesting . I get the feeling that the author set up some Loose Ends will have to be tied up in a later book. I look forward to the next Excellent story and characters. Love this series! in depth interesting characters, compellijng story line and action packed. A total winner start to finish. Best Narrator I loved this from start to finish. With my favorite author and with a narrator who you can always clearly distinguish who's talking before she even says their name. I love everything Therese Plummer does and I pray to god that she will be able to narrate the third book of the series. <3

Robb Narrator: Susan Ericksen Format: Unabridged Length: 14 hrs and 17 mins Language: English Release date: 09-13-11 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 3209 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Modern Detective Publisher's Summary: It was one of Eve Dallass earliest takedowns, back in her uniform days. A monster named Isaac McQueen had been abducting young victims and leaving them scarred in both mind and body. Thanks to Eve, he wound up where he belonged, removed from civilized society in Rikers. But hes not behind bars anymore. After his escape, McQueen has two things in mind. One is to take up where he left off, preying on the young and innocent - when necessary, with the help of a female partner all too willing to be manipulated and to aid and abet his crimes. His other goal: to get revenge on the woman who stopped him all those years ago, now a high-profile lieutenant in the NYPSD and married to one of the citys richest men. Commanding Eves attention with a chilling and brazen crime, McQueen sets off the chase - forcing Eve down a road marked with blood and tears, a road that eventually leads southwest to Dallas, Texas, the home Eve fled long ago. And each new twist brings her closer to the harrowing memory of when she wasnt a hardened detective but a vulnerable girl just like McQueens innocent prey. As her husband, Roarke, tries to rescue her from the nightmares that claw at her mind, and her partner, Peabody, doggedly works to support her, Eve must confront - and call upon - the darkest parts of her own soul in order to survive. Members Reviews: Another WInner! I have every "In Death" book in audio and I love every one of them. Always a great listen. There can't be enough said for Susan Ericksen's performance. Her voice range for various characters is nothing short of amazing. Even her sultry voice of Roarke makes you want to swoon. Eve Dallas and Susan Ericksen make for a very commanding team! NY to Dallas One of the things I love most about the in Death series, is how the characters, especially Eve, have evolved over time. The author manages to keep Eve's toughness, while allowing her to show her softer, loving side, and also keep the raw terror of her childhood memories. It is brilliant, and the narrator is perfect. She is Eve, as well as all the other characters. I especially love her portrayal of Peabody. I definitely recommend New York to Dallas. Worth the Wait I think it rare for a series to survive with such an eager audience after more than 30 books, but Robb delivers every time! There is much life yet in this Dallas-Roarke storyline. I finished it in a day, and eagerly await the next installment. How does she do it? Where does New York to Dallas rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? It's another of the best in the Eve Dallas series, if I could say it was page turning I would but instead I will say that I couldn't turn it off. The stories are all good but this is one of the best. What did you like best about this story? It had intrigue, horror, suspense and got to answer some of the questions we have had about Eve (the main chararcter). Simply stunning story What about Susan Ericksens performance did you like? She is now and will always be Eve Dallas....I couldn't after so many books think of her as anyone else. She captures in my mind the true essence of the characters in the series and has made them her own so that they come alive in our imaginations as we listen.

Fever Dream Audiobook by Lincoln Child, Douglas Preston

Title: Fever Dream Author: Lincoln Child, Douglas Preston Narrator: Rene Auberjonois Format: Unabridged Length: 14 hrs and 22 mins Language: English Release date: 05-11-10 Publisher: Hachette Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 4180 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Modern Detective Publisher's Summary: At the old family manse in Louisiana, Special Agent Pendergast is putting to rest long-ignored possessions reminiscent of his wife Helen's tragic death, only to make a stunning - and dreadful - discovery. Helen had been mauled by an unusually large and vicious lion while they were big game hunting in Africa. But now, Pendergast learns that her rifle - her only protection from the beast - had been deliberately loaded with blanks. Who could have wanted Helen dead...and why? With Lieutenant Vincent D'Agosta's assistance, Pendergast embarks on a quest to uncover the mystery of his wife's murder. It is a journey that sends him deep into her past where he learns much that Helen herself had wished to keep hidden. Helen Pendergast had nursed a secret obsession with the famed naturalist-painter John James Audubon, in particular a long-lost painting of his known as the Black Frame. As Pendergast probes more deeply into the riddle - the answer to which is revealed in a night of shocking violence, deep in the Louisiana bayou - he finds himself faced with an even greater question: who was the woman he married? Critic Reviews: "Once again, the bestselling authors show they have few peers at creating taut scenes of suspense. Their restraint in the book's early sections make the payoffs all the more compelling." (Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: Intelligent, spooky thriller Preston and Child never miss a beat. In fact, with each outing they seem to improve, don't they? "Fever Dream" tells us another exciting story in the Agent Pendergast series. With each episode, Preston and Child always find some primal human phobia to tap into. Frequently, they take us underground, into dark tunnels; but this time they bring us into a Louisiana swamp, teeming with alligators, bugs, and snakes. Even more than the scare factor, Preston and Child triumph with intelligent, well-researched, scientifically plausible plots. Like Sherlock Holmes, Pendergast seems to know everything needed to solve the most arcane riddles; and, like James Bond, he can wield the weapons needed to punish the bad guys. In this case, he unearths the deadly secret that had gotten his beloved wife murdered twelve years before. Then he issues the bad guys their belated just deserts. Rene Auberjonois does a good job of reading "Fever Dream," giving each character a unique voice. I don't know exactly how to classify the Preston/Child thrillers -- they contain elements of horror, techno, sci-fi, adventure, and mystery -- but any fan of any of those genres will love "Fever Dream." (By the way -- explaining the title would give away the plot; so you will just have to listen to the audiobook in order to get it.) Finally, some of Agent Pendergast's History To be honest, I've not read most of the Pendergast books. Only (Relic, Reliquary, and Still Life with Crows). I thought that I had probably missed to much in the intervening books to enjoy "Fever Dream", but this has got to be best book of 2010 that I've read. As you have probably seen from the author's notes that this story reflects around the revelation that Agent Pendergast wife death was actually a murder and the ensuing investigation by Pendergast and D'Agosta. I usually expect the story to revolve around Pendergast et al.

Roe concludes that the elderly women has purposely left her a murder to solve. So she must identify the victim and figure out which one of her new, ordinary-seeming neighbors is a murderer - without putting herself in deadly danger. Solve another mystery with . ©1992 Charlaine Harris (P)2009 Recorded Books, LLC Critic Reviews: "Pleasant reading...heartily recommend[ed]." ( Pen & Dagger) Members Reviews: Another Meander with Aurora In this installment we jump over the possible double lover dilemma that ended the first book and go straight into the aftermath of both a failed relationship and the death of a friend. It is another slow meandering stroll through Roe's life and it is mostly pleasant, witty, and humorous enough. The biggest problem with this story is that, even more so than in the first, the solution to the mystery is revealed rather than solved. The action at the end seems more than a little implausible as well. Moreover, we discover at the end that if Roe had been a little more methodical and a little less clever in the beginning, there would have been no mystery for her to solve--or attempt to solve, rather. The narrator does a generally good job, but she does not use a Southern accent and her nasally voice doesn't hint of the South. Still, this is a mildly enjoyable pleasant stroll through Aurora Teagarden's evolving life and worth the few hours of listening. Team Teagarden All the Way!!! Where does Bone to Pick rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? Bone to Pick ranks pretty high among the audiobooks I have consumed. It kept my attention start to finish. Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How? Yes, it was engaging, funny, and an enjoyable read (listen). Which character as performed by Therese Plummer was your favorite? All of them. Some books really don't transfer well to audio, mainly because the characters are not distinctive enough for you to recognize them based on their actions/attitudes/tone. But Ms. Harris defined distinct characters who stand out alone. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes it was, and yes I did. Kept my attention Not as good as "Real Murders" but was pretty good. It kept my attention. Worse then book one This book wasnt for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more? This is not a book for those who enjoy mysteries and like topics. It is too simple and incomplete. Book one ended with Aurora having two potential beaus. Book two starts off with both of them gone out of her life. No real explanations are given. They are just written out. Aurora had an apparently strong and personal relationship with her father and six year old half brother in book one. They are dropped out by moving across the country. Aurora's strong and influential mother is married off. She is sent out of the country. Aurora's library in book one is shown to be in a strong state of being. Suddenly, without any apparent factors it is given budget cuts. She is laid off. In book one there was barely enough staff to cover the daylight hours.

Confronted by a restraining order and the threat of a lawsuit, failed journalist Leah Stevens needs to get out of Boston when she runs into an old friend, Emmy Grey, who has just left a troubled relationship. Emmy proposes they move to rural Pennsylvania, where Leah can get a teaching position and both women can start again. But their new start is threatened when a woman with an eerie resemblance to Leah is assaulted by the lake, and Emmy disappears days later. Determined to find Emmy, Leah cooperates with Kyle Donovan, a handsome young police officer on the case. As they investigate her friend's life for clues, Leah begins to wonder: did she ever really know Emmy at all? With no friends, family, or digital footprint, the police begin to suspect that there is no Emmy Grey. Soon Leah's credibility is at stake, and she is forced to revisit her past: the article that ruined her career. To save herself, Leah must uncover the truth about Emmy Grey - and, along the way, confront her old demons, find out who she can really trust, and clear her own name. Everyone in this rural Pennsylvanian town has something to hide - including Leah herself. How do you uncover the truth when you are busy hiding your own? Critic Reviews: "YA author Miranda, who moved into the adult market with All the Missing Girls, proves she isn't a one-hit wonder with this exciting thriller. Its twisty tale with many layers - a little romance, great writing, and an awesome story line - will keep psychological suspense fans turning the pages." ( Library Journal) "Solid plot...an entertaining read." ( Kirkus Reviews) Members Reviews: ending lacking the ending is not that great, leaves you uninterested and feeling like you wasted you time. story is long and drawn out for no reason. okay book Whoa So good!! I had no idea where this story was heading next. All I can say is, "Wow!" Excellent! Another Miranda classic! Applause. Such an intricately woven story. Compelling, well developed characters. Not a boring minute, definitely keeps you on your toes. Highly recommended! boring What would have made Perfect Stranger better? Endless, unnecessary details--made a boring, drawn out story line. Narrator was weak. Has Perfect Stranger turned you off from other books in this genre? No Would you be willing to try another one of Rebekkah Rosss performances? No, not at all. Her voice is that of someone very young, and her inflections were distracting. What character would you cut from Perfect Stranger? Assistant pruincipal. Any additional comments? This does not deserve a 4 star rating. It was ok I have read a couple other books by the author that I enjoyed very much but this one I just struggled to get through. the big plot twist became pretty clear about half way through so I felt like I was just waiting for it but worst of all I had to keep rewinding the book (like several chapters back) because I would suddenly realize I had tuned out many chapters back. Narrator was great as usual but book was just lacking something major.

A spoiled kid awash in gambling debt thinking he can beat the system. A lonely widower mourning the death of his lover, desperate for answers that may be worse than the pain of his loss. An elegant but ruthless businessman whose dealings are definitely outside the law: the spider at the center of the web. And Kinsey Millhone, whose thirty-eighth-birthday gift is a punch in the face that leaves her with two black eyes and a busted nose. V: Victim. Violence. Vengeance. Members Reviews: A credit well spent... I listen to audio books to be entertained while I go about doing mundane chores like ironing and vacuuming. I get transported by fiction and the time goes by quickly. The better the book the easier my chores. I have the whole alphabet in this series and I have enjoyed all of them. This was just as entertaining as the first one and all the ones in between. I especially liked the ending. Worth The Wait! I believe Sue Grafton just gets better with time. Kinsey Millhone is an interesting character that never fails to hold my attention. A well conceived protagonist can feel like a long time friend and that's what Kinsey is to me. Judy Kaye also does a great job presenting the story. A very enjoyable and interest-holding read! Totally amazing... Every other major novelist with a single protagonist seems to sort of peter out after 10 or 12 books, apparently losing their edge, running out of plot lines, or having said everything they had to say. But not Sue Grafton. Every book is great -- some I like a little bit better than others, for personal reasons, but every book is compelling and hard to put down. I'm crushed to recall there are only four to go -- but the good news is, I've aged even if Kinsey hasn't. I've already reread several of them, and they're just like new. (Pretty soon I'll need only one book.) One thing about this particular tale made me giggle: Friends in the Santa Barbara/Montecito area note that Sue Grafton herself is quite a fixture in local high society. Very active and well respected. So as she was describing some of the wealthy female denizens of the "Santa Theresa" xray women, the ladies-who-lunch bunch, she was most probably describing a good many of the women in her own social circle. Made me laugh, wondering if they'd recognize themselves.... Whatever. It's a great book, wonderful fun and now probably a long wait until "W" appears. Fantastic ! I really enjoyed this book. Must be the best in the last 10 letters. Judy Kaye is easily the best narrater of this series. I hope Sue Grafton finds a way to keep giving us Kinsey Millhone mysteries after the alphabet comes to an end.

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 215 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Modern Detective Publisher's Summary: Filled with holiday charm and perfect for fans of Leslie Meier, Jacqueline Frost's charming series debut Twelve Slays of Christmas is set at a Christmas tree farm when the jolliest time of the year turns deadly. When Holly White's fiancé cancels their Christmas Eve wedding with less than two weeks to go, Holly heads home with a broken heart. Lucky for her, home in historic Mistletoe, Maine is magical during Christmastime - exactly what the doctor prescribed. Except her plan to drown her troubles in peppermints and snickerdoodles is upended when local grouch and president of the Mistletoe Historical Society, Margaret Fenwick, is bludgeoned and left in the sleigh display at Reindeer Games, Holly's family tree farm. When the murder weapon is revealed as one of the wooden stakes used to identify trees on the farm, Sheriff Evan Grey turns to Holly's father, Bud, and the Reindeer Games staff. And it doesn't help that Bud and the reindeer keeper were each seen arguing with Margaret just before her death. But Holly knows her father and is determined to exonerate him. The jingle bells are ringing, the clock is ticking, and if Holly doesn't watch out, she'll end up on Santa's naughty list. Members Reviews: A Delightful Christmas Treat I was drawn into this book from the beginning. The characters are fully fleshed out with realistic behavior and intentions. The plot is well developed and the villian isn't revealed until the end. I enjoyed the relationships of Holly and her parents, and the budding relationship between Holly and Evan Gray. This is a really entertaining book. I look forward to the next book. Christmas Cozy - just right! This book is the definition of a cozy mystery. Wintery fun holiday imagery is woven throughout an ungory mystery. A pleasant, mild romance adds a nice touch without distracting from the mystery. Absolutely loved this book! I absolutely loved this book (and have already listened to it twice). After I finished it, I checked to see if there were more in the series. Sadly there weren't, but I'm hoping it will become a Christmas tradition for a new book in the series to come out every year. Reindeer Games is a magical place and I would love to have grown up there. I loved the mystery, romance, and magic of this story. More please....... Great New Series!!! Happy to have discovered this just in time for the holidays. Looking forward to more from this author. I loved it too! This was a delightful read, I wish she had more books on audible as I am now hooked on the author.
