Title: Hard Going Author: Cynthia Harrod-Eagles Narrator: Terry Wale Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 14 mins Language: English Release date: 09-26-16 Publisher: Soundings Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 5 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: The late Mr Lionel Bygood, who looks, to all intents and purposes, like an old-fashioned sort of gentleman, has been bashed in the head with a bronze statue, in what Doc Cameron describes as 'our old friend the Frenzied Attack'. It soon emerges that Mr Bygood was a philanthropist, well-known locally for giving help and advice to all who needed it, from all walks of life. But with all signs pointing to the victim knowing his killer, Bill Slider and his team find themselves embroiled in an investigation that provides scant evidence or possible motive, but all too many suspects.... Members Reviews: "Hard Going", the most recent of Cynthia Harrod-Eagle's books featuring Bill Slider. Kindle version I had been waiting with great impatience for this book to become available, and it was worth the wait. As usual with her books, Harrod-Eagles uses beautiful prose, and the plot follows a clear path to the denouement. Although Slider and his fellow detectives are always trying to solve a murder, the author does not wallow in the gore, and she is too good a writer to depend on horror and shock tactics. I also enjoy the clever puns and sly allusions. The anxiety her readers endured while waiting to see if Bill and Joanna would find a way out of their financial and accommodation difficulties was finally laid to rest, but not until the last couple of pages, which kept the reader in suspense. I would certainly recommend this book to friends and family, though I think they should read the earlier books in the series first. Good Not great. Not enough Joanna and baby George in this one. Slider's interaction with his little son is one of my favorite things. For some reason this one seemed slower going than most of the previous, but since I found the victim and the people who cared about him so appealing I wanted to know who/why they ended his life. Not her best effort I love the characters in this series, but I found this particular book to be indeed "Hard Going". Also the puns and silliness that I enjoy so much, such as the fish dish Atherton makes called "Raison Sole D'etre", seemed contrived and -- dare I say it? -- even irritating this time around. Usually I laugh out loud at least once, but this book was lacking clever repartee. It was also sadly lacking Harrod-Eagles' deft hand with plot. Think I'll go back and re-read some of the earlier books to remind myself why I like this series. Most likable character Bill Slider is one of the most likable characters in the recurring police mysteries of today. Usually I tear through the latest effort by his creator. Having lived near, roamed often and still love London, I really enjoy the places he goes. He's smart, funny, empathetic and determined. Love his relationship with his "firm" of police; his wife; his father. All that remains in this book; so, why only 3 stars or 3.5, if allowed? It just wasn't up to the high standard set by the previous stories. Seemed just too....I don't like using this word because what book isn't?.....contrived. Still in the end, the bad folks were caught and the good will inherit! Better than 3 but not a 4. 3.5, say I. Four Stars Great police procedural.

The Saint on TV Audiobook by Leslie Charteris

Title: The Saint on TV Subtitle: The Saint, Book 38 Author: Leslie Charteris Narrator: John Telfer Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 2 mins Language: English Release date: 08-13-15 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: Two adventures based on episodes of The Saint with Roger Moore: In the first, Simon Templar is gassed by a toy soldier, shot with an arrow, mowed down with a submachine gun, and blown up by a plastic bomb hidden in a light fixture. The Saint has become an unwilling participant in The Death Game. In the second tale, having discovered who was behind Death Game, Saint discovers a blackmailer of evil distinction who just wont give up. Leslie Charteris was born in Singapore and moved to England in 1919. He left Cambridge University early when his first novel was accepted for publication. He wrote novels about the Saint throughout his life, becoming one of the 20th century's most prolific and popular authors. Members Reviews: A Review I Never Wished to Write I'm a realist when understanding the difference between the written work and that's what been televised. The author's original intent and that which makes it to the screen are two things entirely different. The Saint on TV is a different approach to the process. These two stories begin with the televised script and Leslie Charteris adding his own input to keep the stories the Saint the way he should be seen in his vision. The Saint On TV begins with Death Game and a story and a contrived plot to bring Simon into the mix. Bring on the most promising killers in academic thought and turn them into the real thing. Fine try and Templar is the fly in the ointment. The story should have been bigger and less superficial. The Power Artist is a lot better and enjoyable. Like the 1st story the Saint is drawn in, faced with mystery and deception, and plays more like Simon Templar as we know and adore his buccaneering moves. Admittedly, this was a fan episode and plays well with the television production and the written version. Sorry, Claud Eustace, the Saint far outplays you with humor and intimidation. Both the televised and the written work here in their own way. After so many celebrated years of the Saint in print, this book was destined to appear where the televised becomes the printed. It had to happen when the series took off and flew like an eagle. The Power Artist really is a cool story. My love for the writings of Leslie Charteris still remain unabated... Read on. I enjoyed the stories then still enjoy them now Adapted from scripts from the TV series starring Roger Moore. Read this book first in the 70's. I enjoyed the stories then still enjoy them now. They are not the the same as the novels and stories written by Charteris. For these stories the Saint had to be brought into line with the image of the acceptable TV hero. But still very enjoyable, I enjoyed the TV series as well. Another great adventure! This book is another great two-part adventure in which Simon Templar gives The Ungodly their comeuppance. Just as I have before, I recommend this book.

Snow Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 2 mins Language: English Release date: 08-25-15 Publisher: Geoffrey Neil Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 24 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: Some things are much worse than getting fired. A beautiful business consultant swoops in to rescue a struggling company from financial disaster. She cancels layoffs and dazzles everyone with her killer looks and corporate savvy. Employee, Lonnie Raiford, becomes skeptical when he and the other staff notice inexplicable, over-the-top attention and affection she showers on his best friend, Hugh Berish. As curiosity mounts about the woman's intentions, Lonnie launches a frantic investigation that uncovers her true identity and a secret plan more disturbing than anyone at the company had imagined. Human Resources has been optioned for film or TV adaptation by Mace Neufeld Productions, producers of titles such as The Omen, The Hunt for Red October, Patriot Games, Invictus, The Sum of All Fears. Members Reviews: The long walk down the hall to HR is looming ! Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not? Not the best offering I have listened to, but it did have several redeeming qualities. Certainly the principal characters were very well developed. As that pertains to time well spent, most audiobook offerings are a good diversion and transit time occupier, and this offering is no exception. How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable? Frankly, this story needed some editing and plot clarification. That said, I did get pulled along by the story, and it did resolve in a fascinating and creative way. What about Corey M. Snows performance did you like? The consistency and uniqueness of his characters , and his tone were outstanding. Very well done! Did Human Resources inspire you to do anything? Be thankful I work for an organization without an HR department ! Any additional comments? This is a better than average offering, with some unique concepts and strongly written characters. Recommended. This audiobook was provided by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review courtesy of Audiobook Blast. A really great Horror/Thriller hybrid! I was given this book by the Author for free in return for an honest review through Audiobookblast dot com. OK, Legalese over. This book is not normally in my wheelhouse, being more of a horror/thriller hybrid, But I am so glad I expanded my horizons. This book was so good! The prologue starts with a guy who hooks up a relationship with a woman way out of his league. She's perfect. In fact, she's so perfect, she takes him on a vacation to a private resort off Fiji.Well, Whings go badly there, and we are left to wonder about his fate until later in the book. For the rest of the book, we follow the main protagonist, Lonnie , who is the IT guy at a small Menu cover company that is struggling. Lonnie's best friend at work is Hugh, who is somewhat autistic and very childlike, but very nice. The company brings in a consultant, Miranda, who calls off layoffs, and seems to be making lots of changes for the better, at least at first. She also seems to be inexplicably attracted to Hugh, and becomes very possessive. She and Lonnie clash, and it becomes a running theme of the book. Who is Miranda, and what is she up to. A Private investigator is hired by Lonnie to find out, only to be found dead in Lonnies driveway later.

Title: Bloodletting: A Thriller Author: Michael McBride Narrator: Scott Thomas Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 22 mins Language: English Release date: 10-16-14 Publisher: Michael McBride Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 35 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: The butchered remains of Jasmine Rivers are discovered in the cellar of an abandoned farmhouse on the desolate eastern plains of Colorado, the fourth mutilated body found in the last two months. The FBI is still searching for the missing parts of the previous three. Hundreds of miles away in Arizona, 11 corpses are exhumed from the Sonoran Desert. Theyve been mummified and bundled in traditional Inca style. But the Inca lived in South America, and these bodies arent centuries old. Seemingly unrelated victims that share a common cause of death: exsanguination. Special Agent Paxton Carver follows the trail of blood, which leads him to the continuation of genetic experimentation that began during World War II and a designer retrovirus capable of altering human chromosomes. Can he track down the virus and prevent further exposure before the real bloodletting begins? Members Reviews: Bloodletting is a great thriller Bloodletting is an Audiobook available on Audible.com and Narrated by Scott Thomas. Scott does a great job with the Female voice and the male FBI agent in this story. The story itself is very intense involving multiple mutilated body's found in several states with no suspects. Hundreds of miles away mummified remains are found and an anthropologist is taken from her dig in South America, by the FBI, to look at the remains. The anthropologist and the FBI Agent are old Friends and wonder why they are brought together for this case. Plans for DNA manipulation going back to WWII and the Nazis comes to light and the mystery takes a sinister turn. This thriller makes you think and shiver as your listening. What possibly could happen next? Will they ever stop this serial killer? Will they ever solve this crime? Bloodletting is a wild ride and worth listening to more than once. This book was gifted to me for an honest review from a third party. It did not grab me I put a few hours into listening while being busy around the house and this did not catch me. If I have to write cheat sheets or flow charts to keep track of stuff, it is not for me. I did start from the beginning twice but...

Dread Journey Audiobook by Dorothy B. Hughes

Hughes Narrator: Gabrielle de Cuir Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 12 mins Language: English Release date: 10-09-14 Publisher: Skyboat Media, Inc. Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 4 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: On a transcontinental train, a starlet fears her director may be trying to kill her. Four years after she arrived in Los Angeles, Kitten Agnew has become a star. Though beautiful and talented, she'd be nowhere without Vivien Spender, Hollywood's most acclaimed director - and its most dangerous. But Kitten knew what she was getting into when she got involved with him; she had heard the stories of Viv's past discoveries. Once he discarded them, they ended up in a chorus line, a sanatorium, or worse. She knows enough of his secrets that he wouldn't dare destroy her career - but he may be willing to kill her. On a train from Los Angeles to Chicago, Kitten learns that Viv is planning to offer her roommate a part that was meant for her. If she lets him betray her, her career will be over. But fight for the part and she will be fighting for her life as well. Members Reviews: A noir classic that still packs a punch Aboard the Chief, a passenger train chugging along from Los Angeles to New York, Kitten Agnew knows she is going to die. Sheâs under contract to star as Clavdia in an adaptation of Thomas Mannâs The Magic Mountain, a film that director Viv Spender has been meaning to make for ages. Kitten is the last in a long line of starlets groomed for the role, only to be cast aside at the last minute as Vivian Spender becomes obsessed with another, younger starlet he imagines will make a superior Clavdia and complete his masterpiece. If only these young women didnât meet unfortunate endsâsuicide by overdose of sleeping pills in the case of the last one, Vivâs wife. But even as Kitten is forced to share a suite with Gratia, the nave young Newfoundland beauty that Viv has picked as the next Clavdia, she is unwilling to give up without a fight. Kitten has an iron-clad contract on the role, and her lawyerâuncle to a previous failed, dead Clavdiaâis eager to take Viv Spender to court. Thus, Kitten knows she will either land the role of her dreams or die in some nefarious accident aboard the Chief. Also on the train are a cast of washed-up Hollywood dregs. Leslie Augustin is an award-winning band leader and composer, but also something of a lecherous playboy looking for drink and dames; he may have struck gold after locking eyes with the innocent Gratia. Hank Cavanaugh is his drinking buddy, once a hotshot reporter now completing his descent to the bottom of a whisky bottle: broken by reporting on immense poverty and famine in China, and cracked for good after spending too much time on the Pacific Front. Sidney Pringle once had dreams of becoming the Great American Novelist now bumming a ride back home to the safety of his mother, a failed screenwriter whoâs just as broken and shamed as Hankâcrushed by his own pride and failures, devastated by his own ego. Also aboard are some couples more than thrilled to see such Hollywood icons in their same car, living their vacations or honeymoons without knowing Kittenâs immense dread. Dread Journey falls about as close to perfection as a book can get. The setting is an ideal confined space for suspense, and Hughesâ execution of the plot makes no mis-steps, using well-drawn characters and setting to the fullest. The excellent prose makes it a joy to read, compelling the reader onward by the weight of the oppressive tension. The suspense begins on page one, and doesnât relent until the electrifying ending.

A Private View Audiobook by Michael Innes

Title: A Private View Subtitle: An Inspector Appleby Mystery, Book 13 Author: Michael Innes Narrator: Matt Addis Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 17 mins Language: English Release date: 05-20-13 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 21 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: Sir John and Lady Appleby attend a memorial exhibition of the oils, gouaches, collages and trouvailles of artist Gavin Limbert, who was recently found shot, under very suspicious circumstances. As Assistant Commissioner of Police, Sir John is already interested, but he becomes even more intrigued when Limberts last masterpiece is stolen from the gallery under his very eyes. Born in Edinburgh in 1906, the son of the city's Director of Education, John Innes Mackintosh Stewart wrote a highly successful series of mystery stories under the pseudonym Michael Innes. Innes was educated at Oriel College, Oxford, where he was presented with the Matthew Arnold Memorial Prize and named a Bishop Frazer's scholar. After graduation he went to Vienna, to study Freudian psychoanalysis for a year and following his first book, an edition of Florio's translation of Montaigne, was offered a lectureship at the University of Leeds. In 1932 he married Margaret Hardwick, a doctor, and they subsequently had five children including Angus, also a novelist. The year 1936 saw Innes as Professor of English at the University of Adelaide, during which tenure he wrote his first mystery story, Death at the President's Lodging. With his second, Hamlet Revenge, Innes firmly established his reputation as a highly entertaining and cultivated writer. After the end of World War II, Innes returned to the UK and spent two years at Queen's University, Belfast where in 1949 he wrote the Journeying Boy, a novel notable for the richly comedic use of an Irish setting. He then settled down as a Reader in English Literature at Christ Church, Oxford, from which he retired in 1973. His most famous character is 'John Appleby', who inspired a penchant for donnish detective fiction that lasts to this day. Innes's other well-known character is 'Honeybath', the painter and rather reluctant detective, who first appeared in 1975 in The Mysterious Commission. The last novel, Appleby and the Ospreys, was published in 1986, some eight years before his death in 1994. Members Reviews: A real gem One of my personal treasures. The art gallery, the anarchistic artist, above all Appleby's junk shop duel -- priceless wit with a reasonable plot.

Title: The Day of the Lie: Father Anselm Series, Book 4 Author: William Brodrick Narrator: Gordon Griffin Format: Unabridged Length: 15 hrs and 3 mins Language: English Release date: 04-01-12 Publisher: Whole Story Audiobooks Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 9 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: Father Anselm receives a visit from an old friend with a dangerous story to tell - the story of a woman betrayed by someone close to her...someone still unknown. As a young woman, Roza Mojeska was part of an underground resistance group in Communist Poland. But after her arrest, a Stasi officer makes her a devil's bargain - and a terrible choice is made. Now, 50 years later, Anselm is called upon to investigate both Roza's story and a mystery dating back to the early 1980s. As he peels back years of history, he exposes a truth that an entire generation was killed to keep hidden. Members Reviews: Father Anselm is Superfluous Character With its flaws, I was moved by the main story of this book. If you are interested in Poland after WWII, I recommend it highly, even though I have only given it 4 stars. Father Anselm could be deleted and the book would be stronger. At the heart of this novel is a powerful story of the effects of war and totalitarianism. It is made even more powerful by the exploration of what motivates individual behavior when the world as they know it is threatened. What is the line between good and evil. I was only vaguely aware of the history of Poland between WWII and Solidarity. Through Roza's eyes, I was able to experience the pain, the fear, and the hopeless which overwhelmed the country. That said, the book is too long and revelations too convenient. It felt like the author did not know when to end the story. He eventually tied up every loose end so smoothly that many of the resolutions felt forced. The theological and philosophical dialogues (both internal and external) by Father Anselm were too long and distracted from the story. I have previously enjoyed Gordon Griffin's narration. In this book, however, the voices of the male characters were often not distinct enough in a scene and I had difficulty knowing who was speaking. Part of this may be due to editing. There was often no break when a scene shifted from one time period to another.

His girlfriend was killed during a fight for which an enraged Arkadin blames Bourne. In The Bourne Deception, Arkadin hunted Bourne to take revenge and kill him. Bourne, in a fight for his life, learned that Arkadin's skills mirror Jason's because he received the same original CIA Treadstone training. Now, in The Bourne Objective, Jason will turn the tables and target Arkadin. Hunter will become hunted. But revenge can cause great psychological devastation. Has this become too personal for Bourne? Will this hunt be Bourne's downfall? Members Reviews: Overall disappointing Maybe I over-enjoyed the previous Bourne's. Maybe the moon wasn't right. Maybe Scott Sowers' enthusiasm and funny accents finally began to irritate me. Other Bourne editions were thrilling. But this edition disappointed me. Just too much, too many twists, too many narrow escapes. The story wasn't compelling and even turned a bit Steve Berry/Dan Brown-ish with ancient mysteries and treasures. Bad ones, too. Eric van Lustbader, thanks for your effort but my cup is full. Please send out a bulletin and either let the man die or better, let him have his peace, let him marry the girl, make babies and build the house with the white picket fence. It's enough. Dissapointing and I didn't like the narration Having listened to The Bourne Legacy by the same author I was disaapointed by this book. I'm not 100% sure if it was the narration that put me off but I could never get into this book because of it. This book is trying to be more like a Dan brown Davinci code but it just doesn't work. I would whole heartedly recommend his other book though and give suggest you give this one a miss. oh dear... Big fan of both the Greengrass movies and Ludlum novels (different as they are). Unfortunately, this tripe falls far short of either. Won't be wasting time or money on further continuation novels. Actors voice is distracting Unlike other reviewers i thought the story was as good as the others, but the actors gravelly voice was distracting. The voices of the different characters were hard to distinguish. Also the music in the last few stories have been annoying and unnecessary the bourn objective Disappointing. Trying to out do James Bond ,but without any twinkle factor, also poorly read in a flat American accent

Title: Caribbean Sunset with a Yellow Parrot Author: Andrea Frazer Narrator: Patricia Gallimore Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 51 mins Language: English Release date: 01-01-18 Publisher: Soundings Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: Lady Amanda Golightly and her old friend Hugo Cholmondley-Crichton-Crump are off to the Caribbean. One of Lady A's old school friends is having a school reunion and is also trying to sell the villas she has built on part of a privately owned island. Some of the old girls already live there; others are crossing for the reunion by sea on the Seven Seas Floating Party Town. Life is eventful. Soon after disembarkation, the tropical island is rife with murder, smuggling, blackmail and much, much, more. Lady Amanda and Hugo are off on the detecting trail once more - and their adventures include Hugo's unfortunate experience with the local hot sauce. Members Reviews: Not bad, not great. The other books in this series were better. The story starts out with Lady Amanda's usual brand of outrageousness, but eventually the story becomes plodding and lackluster. By the time you discover whodunit, you don't really care anymore. Excellent I loved the whole series. Elderly sleuths were a great change. I loved the Carribean setting. I would recommend to all mystery lovers. Great British cozies I am totally hooked on this author at the moment. I finish a book and then look for the next. If you want this sort of addictive read, I recommend you give these a try. Great British cozies. Okay reading. If reading this series in order of writing this was very slow reading. Still good reading but no really surprises. Fun read Great cast of characters...lots of laughs wit a fun mystery thrown in...

La esperada continuación de la serie protagonizada por Valentina Negro y Javier Sanjuán. La inspectora Valentina Negro lucha por superar los traumáticos recuerdos de su último caso, cuando estuvo cerca de perder la vida a manos de un asesino en serie. Pero la maldad no da tregua: pronto se ve envuelta en una nueva y escalofriante cadena de muertes. La ayuda del criminólogo Javier Sanjuán será clave para desentrañar una compleja trama relacionada con la desaparición de varias chicas y el rodaje de unas terroríficas películas snuff que recuerdan extrañamente al cine expresionista de Fritz Lang.El dolor, la belleza y la locura se dan la mano en las páginas de esta adictiva novela negra, que es al mismo tiempo un excelente retrato de la mente del psicópata firmado por dos expertos criminólogos. El hombre de la máscara de espejosson: una invitación a asomarse al abismo. Please note: This audiobook is in Spanish. Crítica Comentarios: Si un par de criminólogos se dedicaran a maquinar sofisticados asesinatos, podrían poner en jaque a la policía científica. Por fortuna, Vicente Garrido y Nieves Abarca se limitan a imaginar los crímenes de sus intensas novelas. (El Mundo) Una exploración del mal libre de clichés. Las Provincias Esta pareja de escritores ha creado un juego auténticamente diabólico. (Corazón Literario.com) Opiniones de los miembros: Muy buena conclusión a la trilogía de Valentina Negro Empece a leer este libro sin haber leído su predecesor (falta que resolveré), por lo cual algunos detalles y alusiones se me escaparon. Aunque sigue el esquema familiar de "Crímenes exquisitos" sobre arte y destrucción, mantiene el suspense hasta el final y, faltaba menos el añadir esto, contiene una buena dosis de morbo. Um grand finale a la trilogía Tras leer los dos primeros libros, yo tenía dudas si los escritores lograrían mantener mi interés y atención en la secuela final. ¡Y lo han logrado! Aunque los protagonistas ya son muy conocidos, la trama fue sorprendente y mereció cada minuto de lectura. Gacosta Excelente novela, los personajes recrean de manera extaordinaria el entramado que poco a poco lleva al lector a beberse las líneas para saber qué es lo que está detrás de esa máscara de espejos. Totalmente recomendable. Magnífica Magnífico final para la trilogía Negro-San Juan. Una historia de suspenso y misterio brillante, precisa, casi cinematográfica. Deseamos leer más. Three Stars A veces me resultó aburrida.

Title: Strange Shores Author: Arnaldur Indridason Narrator: Saul Reichlin Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 47 mins Language: English Release date: 08-15-13 Publisher: Random House Audiobooks Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 22 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: A young woman walks into the frozen fjords of Iceland, never to be seen again. But Matthildur leaves in her wake rumours of lies, betrayal and revenge. Decades later, somewhere in the same wilderness, Detective Erlendur is on the hunt. He is looking for Matthildur but also for a long-lost brother, whose disappearance in a snow-storm when they were children has coloured his entire life. He is looking for answers. Slowly, the past begins to surrender its secrets. But as Erlendur uncovers a story about the limits of human endurance, he realises that many people would prefer their crimes to stay buried. Members Reviews: Brilliantly read by Saul Reichlin What did you like most about Strange Shores? I have read others by Indridason. This is not really a crime novel, more a poetic exploration of loss and death. That makes it sound grim, and it is in places. It is also slightly supernatural, almost a ghost story. What about Saul Reichlins performance did you like? This was the first I heard as an audio book. It was a revelation! Saul Reichlin is an excellent reader. It was a pleasure to hear the Icelandic names pronounced neatly, and his measured delivery fitted the story perfectly. Also I enjoyed the writing a lot more than I did when reading it. I am a fast reader, and have a tendency to skip the slower-moving parts. Listening to the book being read to me, skip-reading was not possible, so I found I entered much more deeply into the world of the story. Read the others first... ...and avoid the Amazon spoilers for this as it is, in all likelihood, the last. Ironic that it is the first of his books to be available on Audible. Beautifully read, simply written, gloomy and gruesome and tender. Of all the Nordic noir writers, Indridason is the most soulful. Not all the books in the series are as effective - they dip when Erlandur is not the main protagonist - nor are they always similar in mood or intent, but this, the seeming last of them, is one of the best. Strange shores Brilliant story telling! Bit lengthy but very absorbing - several tales in one sitting really, but all ends well Understanding grief I loved the moodiness and the ferocious Islandic scenery which provide a backdrop to a gripping mystery that the dogged detective pursues to the bitter end. But most of all I.liked the way the author got me to experience grief and sorrow that persists over decades and the additional twist of pain that comes from not knowing the details of how a death comes about or where the mortal remains are. If t here was anything that annoyed me (and not much I have to say) it was the way the detective constantly barges into houses, the doors of which have been left open and also the way he never leaves when he,s told to

Title: Murder by Magic Subtitle: Libby Sarjeant Mystery Author: Lesley Cookman Narrator: Deryn Edwards Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 54 mins Language: English Release date: 01-24-13 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 14 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: The tenth book in the Libby Sarjeant series of British murder mysteries which feature a retired actress as the female sleuth and are based in the picturesque village of Steeple Martin. Libby Sarjeant and her friend Fran Wolfe are asked to look into the sudden and unexplained death of a devoted churchgoer. The police appear to have lost interest, but the villagers are certain that their new lady vicar has something to do with it! But if it is murder, how was it done? Could it be - magic? Lesley Cookman started writing almost as soon as she could read, and filled many exercise books with pony stories until she was old enough to go out with boys. After following a varied career as a model, air stewardess and disc jockey, she turned to writing short fiction and features for a variety of magazines, before graduating from the University of Wales with an MA in Creative Writing. She has taught writing for both Kent Adult Education and the WEA and edited the first Sexy Shorts collection of short stories from Accent Press in aid of the Breast Cancer Campaign. She lives on the Kent coast and has four grown up children and a passion for community theatre. She has written 10 titles in the Libby Sarjeant Murder Mysteries series and has also published How To Write A Pantomime What the Narrator Says "Lesley Cookman's Libby Serjeant female sleuth series is a joy to read. I loved Libby and her best friend and psychic investigative partner, Fran. Their constant banter keeps you amused throughout their various crime-solving escapades. I felt as if I was part of the gang in "The Pink Geranium", the local restaurant, popping in to enjoy a few glasses of wine, a nice meal, and more banter with Libby's husband and various other pals, including the proprietors, Peter and Harry. Lesley Cookman draws you into Libby's world, spurring you on to share the next case and the next!" Deryn Edwards, narrator of the Libby Sarjeant Mysteries. Members Reviews: Quaint and Quiet Cozy Mystery This was my first time reading a Libby Sarjeant mystery, and I enjoyed it. I was a little wary because of the other weak reviews, but I think some people who listened are not into the "cozy" genre. This book IS slow, and...well, cozy. Libby and her friend Fran, two middle-aged retired women basically get asked to help investigate a mysterious death in a church, and in the process become entangled in a deeper mystery. The narration was good, the story was ok even if requiring a suspension of belief, and I enjoyed the characters. Not awesome, but not bad at all. narrator error... This title was the first of my Libby Sarjeant collection. I wish I'd chosen a different narrator for my first experience. She ruined an excellent plot and otherwise perfect characters. A difficult listen Gave up the first time. I understand that different characters need different voices but Libby and especially Alice were particularly harsh on the eardrums! Story a bit implausible.

Disobeyed direct orders by refusing to let a deadly terrorist live to kill another day. Francisco Pancho Rodriguez and John Landry: SEAL Petty Officers First Class. Took the pursuit of justice into their own hands with explosive results. Catherine Cat Fares. Navy Petty Officer. Holds an unbeatable record for pissing off the top brass with her strongly stated opinions on the combat readiness of women. The teams mission: Take out the seven terror merchants vying to take Bin Ladens place.The teams status: Expendable. When Americas controversial Phoenix Program was buried during the Vietnam War, a new program rose from its ashes. A top-secret Special Operations unit, with a core mission to combat terror wherever they find it, Bitter Ash grew ever more necessary in a new world of Islamic fanaticism. Now, Bitter Ash is forming a special team, a SEAL Team Six with a difference. It is Tier One, on par with SEAL Team Six and Delta, but it will report directly to Bitter Ash, and its fight will take place under the cover of dark. With Bin Laden dead, the petty leaders within al Qaeda struggle to assume his role at the top. The president of the United States doesnt want any of them left to dominate... and that means he has only one choice. But doing whats needed without political repercussions will take a small team flying under the radar. A team capable of finessing the U.N.s distinctions on national sovereignty and acts of war. A team like the Outcasts. With no official support from their government and no one to rely on but themselves, the Outcasts must track down each target. Hot on the tail of the third, Brandenburg and the team start to realize that they are closing in on a larger plot, one that puts the security of the United States in dangerous jeopardy. The terrorists are threatening American territory once again, and the Outcasts will have to do what SEALs do best. Whatever it takes to keep their country safe. Members Reviews: A great man, but a not-so-great work of fiction. I have read Dr. Wasdin's account of his naval service and found it to be very informative and well-written. However his jump into fiction was disappointing. I have the greatest respect for Dr. Wasdin and for what he has done for this country, but his fiction book is not worth purchasing. I am being charitable in giving it two stars. Outcasts This was the front end of other Stephen Templin novels that I had read and enjoyed. It help to flesh out the later novels and provide a background. If you like action packed historical fiction based on modern and current events, this book is for you. I just wish that it was a true account of actual events. Thanks Stephen. Keep up the good work. Really excellent and fun fiction. What I would first like to say is that the author(s) respects the readers and although this is a work of fiction, it is a FUN work of fiction. The characters are credible and the general credulity of the reader is not stretched beyond the breaking point as occurs with many of the plotlines of this genre. Good on ya' Mr. Wasdin. You broke the code. Now would I buy anothe from this author? Yep.

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 149 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: The Thief is a seasoned pickpocket. Anonymous in his tailored suit, he weaves in and out of Tokyo crowds, stealing wallets from strangers so smoothly that sometimes he doesn't even remember the snatch. Most people are just a blur to him; nameless faces from whom he chooses his victims. He has no family, no friends, no connections.... But he does have a past, which finally catches up with him when Ishikawa, his first partner, reappears in his life and offers him a job he can't refuse. It's an easy job: tie up an old rich man and steal the contents of a safe. No one gets hurt. Only the day after the job does he learn that the old man was a prominent politician, and that he was brutally killed after the robbery. And now the Thief is caught in a tangle even he might not be able to escape. Critic Reviews: I was deeply impressed with The Thief. It is fresh. (Kenzaburo Oe, Nobel Prizewinning author of A Personal Matter) Compulsively readable for its portrait of a dark, crumbling, graffiti-scarred Tokyoand the desire to understand the mysterious thief. (Booklist) Disguised as fast-paced, shock-fueled crime fiction, Thief resonates even more as a treatise on contemporary disconnect and paralyzing isolation.... Mystery/crime aficionados with exacting literary standards, as well as readers familiar with already-established-in-translation Japanese writers Miyuki Miyabe (Shadow Family), Natsuo Kirino (Out, Grotesque), and Keigo Higashino (Naoko, The Devotion of Suspect X), will especially enjoy discovering Nakamura. (Library Journal) Members Reviews: Well, it is short. The good news is that this book is short, so if it doesn't float your boat, you haven't lost much time. I'm not sure that there is anything wrong with the book per se other than the fact I just don't care for the characters or the themes. I'm sure there are people out there who will respond positively to this book...I'm just not one of them! It does pick up quite a bit in the second half and I was on the verge of liking the book, but I found the ending unsatisfying. Memories of Keruoac-- not cops and robbers! As I read (listened) to this book, my mind was drawn back to many years ago to the themes found in the writings of Jack Kerouac, which swept college campuses across the country. Nakamura approaches the timeless questions of value choices we must confront when searching to find meaning and direction in lives created day by day. He poses the timeless questions of good and evil, of love, hate or total indifference. Is it moral to live solely for myself and by myself? Was the Master Thief an evil man? He did take what was not his, but belonged to another. What if the owner was evil and harmed innocents? Is it immoral to steal from an immoral man? And, if the thief uses his stolen fortunes to save and shelter an endangered innocent, is his own life evil? I am not familiar with the author. This is the first of his books I have read. It is encouraging to find that we have fresh writers to carry on the quests of earlier generations. If you are looking for just another cops and robbers read, this is not for you. Gritty Japanese Noir Great Story. Easy to follow even though it's translated from Japanese. Gritty, hard edged story. Well told and a good reader for the most part. Story is short put packs a wallop. The main bad guy is really evil and spooky....

All alone she worries if she can make the deadline and navigate the roads since her driving partner husband died the year before in an accident. On her way, she feels sorry for and picks up a hitchhiker. Sam Emerson. Charismatically handsome, his moodiness hides a dark past that includes a dead girlfriend and a murder charge. Snow, a series of trucker murders and a sinister truck begin to haunt them on their route. She suspects Sams aligned with the killer even as she experiences feelings for him. Is Sam a good man down on his luck or is she falling in love with a murderer? In the end itll take a heroic show of love to prove to her that he is who he claims to be. Members Reviews: Nail-biting thriller! Would you listen to Winter's Journey again? Why? Yes! It was very enjoyable and in parts very frightening! It starts out with a simple situation, then it turns into a mystery, then builds into this terrifying thriller! Who was your favorite character and why? Main character, the woman driver. I guess I could relate to her because she was a woman and a normal person. What does Kimberly Henrie bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? She had a comfortable voice, if that makes sense. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes! It had an addictive quality to it. Any additional comments? I like that it starts fairly quiet, then builds. I think some people like thrillers to hit like a freight train from page one, and sometimes I do too, but I like the flow of this one. And the quiet moments are comfortable and enjoyable. I thought it was a great read. One of my favorites now. Life on the road can be deadly Would you listen to Winter's Journey again? Why? I would listen again. I enjoyed the narration. The story was very interesting. I would like to listen a second time to see if I pick up clues I may have missed. Who was your favorite character and why? It is a toss up between Loretta and Sam. They both have qualities that make them stand out. Sam is a puzzle to be solved. Loretta is a determined woman trying to provide for her family. Each has history to overcome. Which scene was your favorite? The scenes and circumstances were well written.

Title: Someone at the Door Author: Richie Tankersley Cusick Narrator: Luci Bell Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 34 mins Language: English Release date: 10-08-13 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 4 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: The phone and the radio were dead, but they'd already heard the news: a mass murderer was on the loose. Hannah and her younger sister, Meg, were miles from the nearest neighbor, trapped in a raging blizzard, home alone. When two wounded, bleeding strangers show up, Hannah doesn't know whether to help them or turn them away. Editorial Reviews: During a paralyzing blizzard, teenage sisters Hannah and Meg are stranded at home - alone. But, in Someone at the Door, suspense author Richie Tankersley Cusick ratchets up the anxiety; not only are the two girls fending for themselves, but there's also a killer on the loose. Audiobook performer Luci Bell's energetic, girlish voice easily embodies the two sisters as they face a series of mysteries: the two young, strange men who arrive at the door to take shelter from the storm, and the series of strange events that take place after their arrival. Intelligent, unpredictable, and bone-chillingly scary, Someone at the Door will keep listeners on the edge of their seats. Members Reviews: Good Mystery with a Few Blemishes Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? I would recommend it to someone who likes a good mystery. It is a classic who-dunnit. Two young sisters stranded at home (in the middle of nowhere) during a monster snowstorm have just heard that an psycopathic killer is on the loose. Two strangers appear at their door looking for refuge after a car accident. There are strange noises, things go missing, bodies turn up, the lights go out and the storm rages on. It definitely reminded me of Hitchcock. The narration was good in that it was consistent and understandable. But it was way too cutesy for me. I realize the two main characters where teens but the voices were irritatingly juvenile. It made me think of Scooby-do and the story is not on that level. Luci Bell is a good narrator but her voice choices for the two main characters were off-putting. If you can get past that the story will hold your attention as you try to figure out who the murder is. The only other minor negative is that story seems to stretch out a bit longer than necessary and got a little repetitive. Overall a 3.75.

Title: The Mandarin Cypher Subtitle: Quiller, Book 6 Author: Adam Hall Narrator: Antony Ferguson Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 37 mins Language: English Release date: 02-28-13 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 7 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: Quiller is in Hong Kong, where he thinks he's on vacation. But every alleyway leads dead to danger, and Quiller gets the message: He's never off duty. The plot moves into a high gear. Quiller always enjoyed his rides, but this one is taxing. He finds a woman as faithless as she is beautiful; he fails to reform her, but enjoys the effort. He takes on villains one, two, and three at a time and dispatches them on land with karate and in the South Seas with its aquatic equivalent. Members Reviews: Run Silent If you are anything like me, one reason to be intrigued with The Mandarin Cypher is the obvious one: a connection to submarines named Swordfish. My uncle commanded one. On the off-chance yours did not, it's still worth a go. Elsewhere a reviewer complains that Adam Hall's Energizer bunny is seen here too much in a cherchez la femme James Bond plot. But fans of the series, with all its various Arctic Circle freight depots and Amazon swamp fevers will say it's about time he got a nice vacation. And if he (unknowingly) has to break the commandment against adultery in the name of global arms restraint, well, let he who is without fault.... 'So forth', as the agent would say, which is more or less his motto, and there is something profound there. Is the book any good? Well, I've read 'em all, and it is this one, The Mandarin Cypher, that was the first in the series I encountered, in a pharmacy bookstore, during a high school lunch hour. That was thirty five years ago. Caveat emptor. A strong premise marred by flirtation with Bond formula. For those who prefer the more plausible exploits of Elleston Trevor's (who long used pseudonym Adam Hall for the series) Quiller to the often outlandish sweep of Bond, "The Mandarin Cypher" comes as a bit of a disappointment. Although there is much for longtime readers of Quiller to love about this book, there is an obvious, undeniable influence of Ian Fleming and the formula of the Bond films, especially as we near the climax. This isn't to say that Quiller's mission suddenly involves saving the world (there is always a level of realistic modesty regarding the expectations put on our protagonist) or that Trevor's amazing level of detail is any less rich, but rather that the "set pieces" here (submarine, oil rig, SCUBA fight), atypical for Quiller, would be standard for the climax to a number of Bond films. It is likewise difficult to read the aquatic scenes without thinking of the film "Thunderball" or to learn that sexual dysfunction is what is motivating a couple main characters without recalling any number of Fleming's villains. To be fair, as "Cypher" was published in 1975, there is a legitimate question of who is influencing whom. One could, for instance, easily imagine Raymond Benson's 1997 Bond novel, "Zero Minus Ten" (which is also set in Hong Kong and, thereby, shares a few locations in common) or even a few of the recent Bond screenplays (there is a scene in GoldenEye that comes to mind) as being partially inspired by "Mandarin Cypher". "Cypher" itself moves with such a frenetic pace that it practically begs for screen adaptation. In this sixth installment, Quiller is coaxed into investigating the death of engineer Tewson in Hong Kong.

Title: The Trinity Six Author: Charles Cumming Narrator: Jot Davies Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 19 mins Language: English Release date: 02-03-11 Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers Limited Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 43 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: Europe is still littered with the darkest secrets of the Cold War. And the most deadly revelation of them all is about to be madeHard-up Russia expert Dr Sam Gaddis finally has a lead for a book that could set his career back on track. He has staggering new information about an unknown sixth member of the infamous Cambridge spy ring a man who has evaded detection for his entire life. But when his source suddenly dies, Gaddis is left with just shreds of his investigation, and no idea that he is already in too deep. He is threatened, betrayed, hunted and alone. To get his life back, he must scour a continent still laced with lies to find the truth behind the Trinity Six. Both Moscow and MI6 will use everything in their power to keep their fragile peace intact. But why murder people to hide secrets that should by now be history? Gaddis starts to understand far too late that he is closing in on a discovery that will shake Europe to its foundations Critic Reviews: "The master of the modern spy thriller." (Mail On Sunday) "Cumming has clearly researched widely and his portrayal of life among China's louche foreign community is particularly convincing, if depressing. This novel adds to his reputation as one of the UK's best young espionage writers." (Daily Telegraph) Members Reviews: Could not stop listening What made the experience of listening to The Trinity Six the most enjoyable? The plot blended history of the Cambridge Five skillfully wih fiction. The novel is well constructed and suspenseful. This guy is definitely high on my espionage list, along with LeCarre and Daniel Silva. What about Jot Davies???s performance did you like? Good narrator - subtle use of accents. Very listenable. Brilliant thriller perfectly narrated This would be one of my favorite audiobooks that I've listened to. The novel was tight and well-written, a brilliant spy thriller that kept you guessing which traversed several countries and several decades of history. The narration by Jot Davies was absolutely perfect. I loved this audiobook and couldn't wait to keep listening to it. 5 stars. A great listen. If you like John LeCarre's style of writing you will enjoy this one thoroughly. It is complex and fast paced and interesting from beginning to end. Worthwhile. Outstanding Listen!! Wow! What a listen!! Not only was the story most interesting, it was read in an outstanding manner! Well done! I couldn't stop myself, had to finish it ASAP!! Better to savour slowly It helps to have some understanding of the Cambridge 5, and a little of the alliances during WW11, as well as the post war Cold War Charles Cummings in this novel, is putting up a sixth man as a double agent. Curiously, Robert Goddard in his 'Set in Stone' ( 1999 and available on Audible) also has a sixth man who was a double agent. While the stories are very different, I do wonder if fact is being hidden in fiction. There are a few similarities that feed my curiosity. While I would have stayed up all night reading a LeCarre, I have found this story is better taken more slowly. Having an urbane specialist in History as our hero, is a little refreshing. It is an interesting story and Jot Davies reads well.

Title: The Day She Disappeared Author: Christobel Kent Narrator: Alison Campbell Format: Unabridged Length: 14 hrs and 36 mins Language: English Release date: 05-18-17 Publisher: Hachette Audio UK Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: The gripping new thriller from the Sunday Times best-selling author of The Loving Husband. Your best friend will always be there for you...won't she? Have you ever had that sense that you're being watched? And you turn suddenly, but it's just a curtain blowing in the wind? Or the dress hanging in the doorway? Nat knows something's wrong. Her best friend, Beth, would never have upped and left without saying good-bye to her. But no one believes that Beth was taken - she is a fly-by-night, a party girl who can't be trusted. No one's listening to Nat. But someone is definitely watching her. Members Reviews: could not complete due to irritating narration voice, cadence...everything wrong...the ever present smugness was unnecessary and wrong from the start . not recommended. Narrator so abysmal I was gritting my teeth The narrator's tone, which honestly made me want to smack her, meant the story was impossible to follow because she added smug inflections in all the wrong places. She clearly loves the sound of her overacting, but we don't. Trash. average this was an ok story that I only persevered with as I wanted to know the ending. sadly the narrator, in my opinion, was not great at all and her voice and inflection jarred me. Narrator is so irritating. I got to chapter 4 with no idea what was happening because her narration is so awful. I couldn't face another 31 chapters so abandoning it and hope I can get a refund on my credit. She pauses slightly in inappropriate places in sentences and emphasises words that don't require it. It's a shame as the write-up sounds up my street but I can't do it. I hope Audible don't use this narrator again. Dull, irritating Tried downloading this despite reading two bad reviews about the narration, which is extremely slow & the intonation is all wrong. It can be improved a bit by listening at 1.25 speed if you think the story is interesting enough to carry on. I didn't, I found it a bit dull and will try to return this one.

Miller is there doing his own checks for the British Prime Minister. When both men get involved with a group of Russian soldiers about to commit an atrocity, Miller puts an end to the scuffle with a bullet in the forehead of the ringleader. But this action has dire consequences not only for Miller and Johnson but for their associates, too, including Britain's Sean Dillon and all the way to the top of the British, Russian and United States governments. Death begets death, and revenge leads only to revenge, and before the chain reaction of events is over, many will be dead.... Members Reviews: Sean Dillon - my favorite fictional hero I think that the ultimate review for Rough Justice is this: I cannot wait to find Sean Dillon Book 20 listed in the Kindle book list. Until then, I will just have to get by on Daniel Silva, Clive Cussler and the rest of the club. But Sean Dillon will always be my immediate next book when I look through my Kindle library of more than 300 novels. Good entertaining read Precise action without meandering paragraphs leading one to remain interested instead becoming bored with unnecessary blurb. Five Stars Sean...... your age is beginning to show. Four Stars quick read. entertaining Five Stars It was as expected

Her advice column, Dear Amy, gets all kinds of letters - but none like the one she's just received: 'Dear Amy, I don't know where I am. I've been kidnapped and am being held prisoner by a strange man. I'm afraid he'll kill me. Please help me soon, Bethan Avery.' Bethan Avery has been missing for nearly two decades. This is surely some cruel hoax. But as more letters arrive, they contain information that was never made public. How is this happening? Answering this question will cost Margot everything.... Members Reviews: Recommend it I'm not generally into the crime/thrillers/mystery genre, but a friend recommended this book so I decided to check it out. When I did, the summary sounded interesting and the audible sample drew me in immediately, so I bought it. I'm very glad I did! The story was compelling and the writing was brilliant - had a fresh quality to it and was so evocative; the author is obviously very observant. One of the reasons I tend not to read in this genre is that I feel there are pitfalls that tend to come up again and again that wreck the plausibility of a lot of stories - things like the characters doing stupid things in order to advance the plot - I was very happy when listening to this to find whenever I worried this would happen, it didn't! On the narration front, I was also super impressed. All three of the narrators were superb and I will be looking to see what else they've done. I listen to a lot of books and am really picky about narrators so I'm amazed to have found one book with three that I found faultless (this is pretty much unheard of in my world ;) All in all, definitely recommend this book if you're into this genre at all and also if you're not but are willing to give it a go. Brilliant in every way ! Where does Dear Amy rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? Amongst the top 10 What other book might you compare Dear Amy to, and why? Quite a few others. Books need to keep me guessing and not be predictable. What about the narratorss performance did you like? Absolutely splendid from Helen Baxendale. Faultless delivery. She picked up every nuance of the storyline and didn't miss a beat. Rare in an audio book reader unless the reader is the actual writer. Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? Indeed. I was so sad for Amy. Any additional comments? I defiinately look for this author again and for books read by Helen Baxendale. A good idea but explored to the point of tedium I am afraid i have to agree with the reviewer on here that struggled with this book. It started well and the premise is good but it began to get so far fetched and confusing towards the end of the first narrators chapters that i started to switch off. I sadly havent finished it and to be honest returned it. I found Helen Baxendale an excellent narrator, she is easy to listen to which is more than I can say for the books content. The author would have been better off simplifying some of the paths she went down. Not for me and I was looking forward to listening- quite dissapointed as on the surface was my cup of tea. Predictable Thus book has some great reviews. However I found the first half interesting, but then when it became obvious what had happened it was somewhat pedestrian.

Title: Someone Must Die Author: Sharon Potts Narrator: Elizabeth Wiley Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 4 mins Language: English Release date: 06-28-16 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 70 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: When her six-year-old nephew vanishes from a neighborhood carnival, Aubrey Lynd's safe, snow-globe world fractures; it shatters when the FBI's investigation raises questions about her own family that Aubrey can't answer. Aubrey picks apart the inconsistencies to expose the first of many lies: a ransom note - concealed from the FBI - with a terrifying and impossible ultimatum. Aubrey doesn't know what to believe or whom to trust. The abduction is clearly personal - but why would someone play a high-stakes game with the life of a child? The more she presses for answers, the more Aubrey is convinced that her mother is hiding something. Desperate to save her young nephew, Aubrey must face harsh truths and choose between loyalty to her family and doing the right thing. And she'd better hurry, because vengeance sets its own schedule, and time is running out. Members Reviews: Blah Hated the narrator. She grated on my nerves, especially when she would draw out the name Diana. Just couldn't stand listening to her. The story was boring. So very boring. No suspense, nothing exciting. It took me countless hours to finish because I kept falling asleep. Someone must die The story was okay and for me the narrator sounded like a 70 year old woman instead of a person in their late 20s. Overall I did enjoy the story. One of the most boring and silly stories ever I was really annoyed by this story from the beginning. The grandmother, Di, was one of the most self absorbed narcissists of all time and I am just not in the mood for one of those right now. So I was listening along hoping she would get locked up. The story was pedestrian and tedious. Facts were hidden to keep any mystery reader from figuring it out though I had the culprit pretty much all along. Aggravating story to listen to. I hope I had this through kindle unlimited and didn;t actually pay for it. Reminds me of a bad soap opera. During my whole listening time of this book there was something off. The story was fairly engaging, but something was just 'off'. Two chapters before the end and it hit me! Between the snooty accent of the reader and the storyline, I had been listening to a 1980s SOAP OPERA. So, decent plot, poor narration.. Three stars and a shrug of the shoulders. It wasn't a total waste. I did get some housework done, just like my Mom did when she watched her soaps. Don't bother! Not only was the storyline bad but the performance was worse. I only finished it because I paid for it. Avoid avoid avoid

Good characters as always, I just didnt get as emersed in the story as I usually do. Kurt Austin and Egypt As I get older I treat these like boys own stories , macho heroes and an impossibly survived storyline. Great way to pass away hours while recovering from illness. Another great story A well paced expertly read book. Could not put it down. A fantastic story from start to finish. very American found the performance irritating story was OK but found the performance very American to the point it became irritating Pharaohs Secret Great adventure and interaction between actors. Story line is good and keeps you wanting to keep reading on .

Long Way Down Audiobook by Michael Sears

Title: Long Way Down Author: Michael Sears Narrator: David Chandler Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 35 mins Language: English Release date: 02-05-15 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 45 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: From the author of the acclaimed, award-winning debut novel Black Fridays comes a story of murder, greed, and corruption--and the lengths to which one man will go for his family. He approached me in the street--bone thin, gray bearded, holding out a small envelope. The man said youd give me five bucks for it. Inside was a one-word message: "RUN." Two years in a federal prison has changed Jason Stafford, is still changing him, but one thing it has taught him as a financial investigator is how to detect a lie. He doesn't think Philip Haley is lying. An engineer on the verge of a biofuel breakthrough, Haley has been indicted for insider trading on his own company, and Stafford believes him when he says hes been set up. Haley does indeed have enemies. He is not a nice man. Doesn't make him a criminal. It does make him dangerous to be around, though. The deeper Stafford investigates, the more secrets he starts to uncover--secrets for which people would kill. And thats exactly what happens. Soon it is Stafford himself who is under attack and, worse, his family--his fiance, his young son--and he is a fugitive, desperately trying to stay one step ahead of both the killers and the law. Members Reviews: Very Good But.... Fist off... start this Jason Stafford series at the beginning with "Black Fridays". Stafford's an unusual detective in an unusual business... It's worth watching him grow through this, the third in the series. I liked "Long Way Down" both because of Michael Sears plotting, characterizations, and narrative imagination. And David Chandler's powerfully competent to create both a distinctive ensemble cast while acting out the tensions of both character and plot. So, why that "But" up there? Because of the torrential tension storm that Sears felt this story needed to bring it to a conclusion. No, not the conclusion itself, but the process started to intrude into the story in the last, oh, 20% of the story. And when I get distracted by the author's contrivances to create tension, I drop out of the moment. Still, I'll get the next Jason Stafford novel as soon as its written, hoping that maybe he'll become a tad less inexplicably super in his heroism, and consequent'y more believable as the story explodes into an ending. Yeah, I recommend "Long Way Down" but I wish the ending didn't demand that my disbelief get stretched quite such a long way... Too much saliva! Throughout the entire book, the narrator can be heard swallowing his saliva. Really distracting and very annoying. Why this wasn't edited out is beyond me. Sloppy work.

Their mission: to locate the boss of the world's most murderous drugs cartel - and terminate him with extreme prejudice. Now they can strike. But to get close enough to fire the fatal shot, Nick must reveal his face. It's a risk he's willing to take - since only the man who is about to die will see him. Or so he thinks... 2012: Nick is in Moscow; semi-retired; semi-married to Anna; very much the devoted father of their newborn son. But when the boy falls dangerously ill and the doctor who saves him comes under threat, Nick finds himself back in the firing line. To stop his cover being terminally blown, he must follow a trail that begins in Triad-controlled Hong Kong and propels him back into the even more brutal world he thought he'd left behind. The forces ranged against him have guns, helicopters, private armies and a terrified population in their vice-like grip. Nick Stone has two decades of operational skills that may no longer be deniable - and a fierce desire to protect a woman and a child who now mean more to him than life itself. Members Reviews: Andy McNab does it again. This guy is a genius, he takes you on the ride of a lifetime. This is Andy McNab at his very best, I have all his books and this is a masterpiece. Loved every second of it! Any additional comments? This was such an entertaining book I can honestly say I enjoyed every word of it. Not once did I find my mind wandering, Mcnab's storytelling kept me interested and wondering what could possibly happen next!! Action packed with a fantastic storyline, Stone begins his adventure in Russia where he and his partner now live, but before the book ends he will find himself fighting in Asia, Moldova and South america. This is action packed military storytelling at it's best with an exceptional storyline, bravo Mcnab!

Title: Over Her Dead Body Subtitle: A Bailey Weggins Mystery Author: Kate White Narrator: Julia Gibson Format: Unabridged Length: 13 hrs and 35 mins Language: English Release date: 08-12-14 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 4 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: New York Times best-selling author Kate White, editor in chief at Cosmopolitan, knows the glossy magazine world like the back of her hand. Her Bailey Weggins mystery series serves head-scratching whodunits with healthy dollops of dishy dirt. Fired from her job at Gloss, Bailey lands a new gig at celebrity gossip mag Buzz. When her slave-driving boss is murdered, Bailey investigates. Her friend and co-worker Robby is the chief suspect - but theres a long list behind him. Members Reviews: Review of the Unabridged Audio Book The problem with audiobooks is that if there is a editing screw-up or a phrase that the author uses repeatedly it is more obviously on an audiobook. For instance that space down the middle of a multi-lane highway is a "median" not a "meridian". And by the time Baily had finished her interview I was very, very tired of hearing "I just have one more question". I was complaining about the "one more question" to a friend who said she did that when doing cross and recently the judge had looked at her sardonically and said "No you don't-- you have a lot more." Which is what I wanted to say to Bailey. Anyway the audiobook was quite well read although the narrator was different from the first Bailey Weggans book I listened to a year ago. These books are a guilty pleasure to me. The only glossy magazine I read on a regular basis is Vanity Fair-- for the crime stories, yah know. I don't think I've ever read a Cosmopolitan magazine. I'm nowhere near the demographic that I believe Bailey Weggans is geared to and I doubt if I have any idea what a pair of Blahniks would look like. In fact it is a lot like reading a fantasy novel where the author has to do world building-- a skill Kate White has, as she makes me believe that this is what a glossy, gossip magazine would be like under these circumstances. I love Bailey Weggins I love Bailey Weggins. I love the suspense. Although, I have to check my door locks at times. I have just finished book#5 and I can't wait to read #6 but I have to wait a few days. Reading for 10-11 hrs at a time is too much. When I start reading Kate's books it is difficult to put them down. Five Stars Love this book....The whole series with character Bailey Wiggins is Awesome....wishing they turn them into Lifetime movies.... I enjoyed it After reading one book in the series, I had to buy all of the rest. I have loaned them out, so now it is hard to review each one individually. Five Stars It is hard to put down. Wish she would add to the series

(P)2009 Macmillan Audio Members Reviews: Just OK I usually love Barbara Taylor Bradford's books, and have especially loved the Emma Harte series, but this one took way too long to get very interesting and then went on way too long, without much in the way of character development or new plot lines. When Jonathan Ainsley finally emerged as the villain, again(!), the book was more than half over!! Maybe I would have like this better as a read than as an audio since I could have skipped over many sections. Basically I was disappointed. Hartes' didn't kill anyone The narrative wasn't as good as the last book. The males voices seemed pretty much the same, at times. The story dragged in the first half. Seemed tedious. I'm done with this saga. Breaking the Rules Another very enjoyable Bradford read!

McKinnis Narrator: Jane Oppenheimer Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 47 mins Language: English Release date: 07-25-17 Publisher: Imbrifex Books Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 4 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: It takes a guilty bastard to make a justified bitch. When a severed finger shows up on her doorstep in a seedy section of Las Vegas, Helen Taylor does not freak out. She's already crazy, as evidenced by her junk-stuffed house and its ever-growing population of cats. There's also Bobby, her long-dead husband. Helen talks to him regularly, and Bobby talks back. The finger and the brutal murder reveals more than a hoarding cat lady with a phantom husband can ignore. Helen is a suspect, and she ends up in jail. Summoned by the detective on the case, Helen's sister Pat arrives from Phoenix with two teenage boys in tow. While Helen is AWOL from a mental facility, another gruesome murder is discovered. Pat, the boys, and the detective, struggle to separate fact from insanity, but it takes power beyond the ordinary to bring the truth to light. Members Reviews: A Justified Purchase What did you love best about A Justified Bitch: A Las Vegas Mystery (Las Vegas Mysteries)? I first read this book as an ARC and loved the characters, the plot, the Old Las Vegas vibe, and the books message of recovery and redemption, but I read it a second time as an audiobook, and I am enthralled! The narrator, Jane Oppenheimer, is magnificent. Ive listened to hundreds of audiobooks, and shes one of the best in the business. She is able to give a unique voice to a long list of diverse characters, from Helen, the wacky widow who still communicates with her dead husband, Bobby, to the uptight, prissy psychiatrist to whom she is assigned, to her solicitous sister, Pat, to teenage boys, to a pair of multi-ethnic lesbian hairdressers and to the various down-on-their-luck men and women in Helens circle of friends and neighbors. Helen Taylor wasnt always a crazy, voice-hearing hoarder. A Berkeley graduate, she and her husband lived a normal existence as high school teachers who loved the outdoors. Bobbys death in a hiking accident hurled Helen into another world where she survives by hoarding items and reselling them at a weekly flea market. When her neighbors dismembered body is found, Helen becomes the focus of the police and her estranged sisters attentions. The well-meaning sister, Pat, brings her son Jordan and Helens teenage son Marc, to Las Vegas to protect Helen and to try to establish normalcy in her life. Through Pat and Jordans efforts to sort through the detritus of Helens home and lifestyle the reader is exposed to a Las Vegas population of street people, flea market vendors, public servants and elite private health providers. Through Marcs efforts to appreciate Las Vegas as only a teenage boy can do, the reader is exposed to showgirls, the behind the scenes choreography of an actual performance and hotel security. A Justified Bitch is an engaging mystery with dark humor and witty repartee between characters. Bobby and Helens humorous observations of the people and situations around them are revealed in comical similes such as as busy as a pimp with one whore. H.G. McGinnis brings a unique perspective to the telling of a Las Vegas story. As a dresser for the big production feather shows of Las Vegas recent past, shes been at the heart of the glamour and excitement of iconic Las Vegas. As a native of Las Vegas, shes lived in the neighborhoods away from the bright lights of The Strip and has seen them transform as populations, housing trends and the economy change.

Her hope is buoyed when the couple decides to start a family, but what Dallin reveals in his sleep one night rocks Hannah to her core. As she starts to investigate a much darker side of Dallin than she ever knew existed, Hannah peels away the layers of a diseased relationship closely tied to her own abusive past. When Dallin attempts to have Hannah abducted, she is forced to run, doing so with the aid of a man named Black - an ex-con and expert at helping people disappear. Together they must keep Hannah safe from her husband's far-reaching grasp, all the while trying to solve the mystery behind Dallin's sudden violence. Does Hannah's dark family history hold the key to her survival? Critic Reviews: "Gritty, unflinching, and sometimes violent, this thriller is reminiscent of Gillian Flynn's Gone Girl and the television series The Equalizer. The characters are intriguing and the writing deliciously descriptive. Adrenaline junkies and fans of darker crime fiction will take to this book, which is compelling and exciting enough to be read in one sitting." (Library Journal) "Outstanding paranoid thriller." (Publishers Weekly) "In addition to its rollicking pace and complex characters, the book's turns of phrase and evocative imagery make it enjoyable. 'Hannah's premarital fling is a romance that lasted not much longer than the flowers.' A promontory is described as 'a snake of land'. Hannah thinks of the color black: 'She could hide in [it]. Wrap it around her.' Thriller aficionados, especially women, will wrap themselves in this novel's pages with gusto." (ForeWord Reviews) Members Reviews: Thrilling. Hannah's life hasn't always been easy, but now she has a handsome and successful husband, money and a happy life, but does she? When Dallin starts to become distant and less loving, Hannah is worried, but it's not till he talks in his sleep that Hannah discovers that her husband might not be who she thinks! She starts to delve deeper into his life only to have hers put in danger. Dallin attempts to have her abducted only for her to escape with the help of an ex-con named Black. As things start to become clearer though, Hannah doesn't know who to trust, and with past and present on a collision course, Hannah must do all she can to survive. Well this was a roller coaster to say the least!! When you think you know where it's going, bam, the author throws in something to turn the book on it's axis!! You never know who you can trust and you have no idea where it's going. It's an exceptionally well written and developed story and I loved it!! The whole way through you are questioning everything which, to me anyway, marks a great book. Character development was well done. Poor Hannah has had a hard life and finally thought all the hurt was behind her. She loves her husband and wants to start a family with him. My heart broke for her when the story took off. She finds out some devastating things, yet she still pushes through. She is by no means an angel, which you will find out when you read it, but you can't help but root for her. She is determined, has a strong spirit and is brave. Black was my favourite though.

Cooper Riley, a psychology professor, doesn't make it to work one day. Emma Green, one of his students, doesn't make it home. When ex-cop Theodore Tate is released from a four-month prison stint, he's asked by Green's father to help find Emma. After all, Tate was in jail for nearly killing her in a DUI accident the year before, so he owes him. Big time. What neither of them knows is that a former mental patient is holding people prisoner as part of his growing collection of serial-killer souvenirs. Members Reviews: Quirky & enjoyable book Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How? No, not that kind of thriller. This book was written more as a psychological character study of the leading protagonists. The plot itself was very different and well executed as it jumped from character to character. There was also a lot of irony and subtle humour so that the horror of the deeds undertaken were somewhat diminished but not absolved. Which character as performed by Paul Ansdell was your favorite? For me it was the mentally deficient, but cunning, Adrian, so well portrayed by the narrator. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? It made me laugh on quite a few occasions, and sad on a few too, but mainly it kept my interest. Any additional comments? I'm looking forward to reading this book again. It's my first Paul Cleave, but certainly won't be my last. A thoroughly enjoyable book, I recommend it to those who enjoy an intelligently written psychological thriller.

Title: Death at La Fenice Author: Donna Leon Narrator: Richard Morant Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 20 mins Language: English Release date: 09-20-12 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: The twisted maze of Venice's canals has always been shrouded in mystery. Even the celebrated opera house, La Fenice, has seen its share of death. But nothing so horrific and violent as that of world-famous conductor, Maestro Helmut Wellauer - poisoned during a performance of La Traviata. Even Commissario of Police Guido Brunetti, used to the labyrinthine corruptions of the city, is shocked at the number of enemies Wellauer has made on his way to the top - but just how many have motive enough for murder? The beauty of Venice is crumbling. But evil is one thing that will never erode with age. Members Reviews: This takes me to Venice I've read all of the books about Inspector Brunetti and loved every one. The stories are excellent but for me, it's the atmosphere and setting of them that wins hands down. I love the way that the author describes the food and the care with which it' s produced and the beauty and fascination of the city of Venice. The other heartening thing is the solid, loving relationship between Brunetti and his wife and their children, such a contrast with the tortured relationships in so many crime books today. Roll on the next book and perhaps a television adaptation? Slow start but it grows on you This was really multi layered and the characters had surprising depth to them. The book was more about the people then the plot. I have tried to read the book before and given up at about chapter two but I was a captive audience in my car on a long journey and I am really glad I persevered past the first couple of chapters. Enthralling A very engrossing read and recommended for vivid characterisation and accompanying a visit to the city of Venice itself Venice comes "alive" What did you like most about Death at La Fenice? Feeling part of everyday life in Venice What did you like best about this story? Descriptions of travel in Venice Which character as performed by Richard Morant was your favourite? Inspector Brunetti Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? No, wanted it to last Any additional comments? Made me want to read more of these books Excellent! The story wraps me in the very fabric of Venice. This narrator is a superb Brunneti.

The skeleton found in one of its sea-caves, shackled to the rock, looks like the relic of some long ago conflict, but the modern watch clasped around its bony wrist gives the lie to that. It presents a challenging, if not urgent case for DI Marjory Fleming. But in the village there is an atmosphere of fear and tension and unpleasant vandalism; a house set on fire. The rank smell of hatred is in the air and Fleming is desperate to prevent more violence. Members Reviews: too many notes Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not? Because this book has so many characters and so many "themes" it seemed to me to be disjointed and difficult to follow. Additionally, there were so many characters that none of them was developed into a character this reader/listener cared about. How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable? More character development. Fewer superficial twists of narrative. Did Lesley Mackie do a good job differentiating all the characters? How? Because there were so many characters, differentiating by the reader was probably not possible. Mackie is an excellent reader but in this reading there were so many sudden changes of direction as well as changes of characters that Mackie failed to differentiate between stories so this listener was constantly having to reverse to catch up with a new character in a new narrative. Could you see Evil for Evil being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be? Movies generally need to be more simplistic than books and this book was anything but simplistic. Any additional comments? Have the reader and recording separate not just chapters but also switches in narratives and characters.

He is planning a special show, one that will break the internet. However, that's only part of his plan. The second part will break the city. Special Ops agent Zeb Carter, recruited to help the NYPD, has never come across a killer as evil and cunning as the Flayer. The Flayer appears at will, disappears into the darkness, and all that he leaves behind his a mutilated body. As the body count rises and New Yorkers turn on the police, the Flayer amps the pressure. He releases a video of his killing and makes a chilling promise. His next killing will break the internet - it will be live. Zeb Carter has few clues; the only lead he has uncovered suggests that breaking the internet is not the Flayer's sole motive. He is building up to a terrifying climax the likes of which the city hasn't faced before Zeb decides to come out in the open in order to draw out the Flayer; however he might be too late. The Flayer has already set his plan in motion. The city that never sleeps is heading to a catastrophic nightmare. 'Hotter than the inside of a gun barrel.' Members Reviews: Great book it was a very good book I have one problem it said it was book no five but there is only four books all together where is five I brought the other three. Very fast pace excellent story loved it I received this book free for a honest review and unbiased option . Very slow start, but good in the end. The author provided me with a complimentary copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review. The book had a very slow start for me and honestly if I had been reading the ebook or paperback version I probably wouldn't have finished it. It did get better, but it jumped around so much that it was hard to remember what was going on. And the date header at the beginning of each chapter was just annoying. It wasn't just one day; it was a range of dates, but then it didn't seem like that much time passed in the actual storyline. The narrator also made the story difficult to follow. Several of the character voices sounded the same, so it was difficult to distinguish when the narrator switched from one character to another. Creepy story but it kept me interested Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Quite a thriller. Very creepy. I felt it could be a true story. Any additional comments? I was voluntarily provided this review copy audiobook at no charge by the author, publisher and/or narrator. outstanding job !!! I received this audible edition for free for a honest review.. I highly recommend this audible edition for true hard core action fans..Great story line bravo..wonderfully written and expertly narrated. Great action thriller This audiobook was provided by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review courtesy of AudiobookBoom dot com. Not my usual genre but I quite enjoyed this. A classic crime/action thriller, but with a twist. Add a serial killer and terrorists. Great mix of interesting characters. Loved the twins. Though Zeb seemed a bit fantastical to me. Great action. Kept me hooked the whole time. Narrator was decent but not my favorite. Not much emotion in the narration. I'll probably look into the rest of the series.

Bray Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 33 mins Language: English Release date: 03-08-16 Publisher: HarperAudio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 41 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: Former Army Ranger and thief Van Shaw is thrust into danger as lethal and unpredictable as the war he left behind in this emotionally powerful and gritty follow-up to the acclaimed Past Crimes. When an old crony of Van Shaw's late grandfather calls in a favor, the recently discharged Ranger embarks on a dangerous journey to the Olympic Mountains, in search of a missing girl tied to Van's own criminal past. What he finds instead is a brutal murder scene, including a victim from one of Seattle's most influential families. But the dead bodies are only the start of Van's troubles. A fellow Ranger from Afghanistan turns up at Van's doorstep, seeking support from his former sergeant even as Van wrestles with his own reemerging symptoms of PTSD. The murder investigation leads to heavy pressure, with a billionaire businessman on one side and vicious gangsters on the other, each willing to play dirty to get what they want. The price of his survival may be too high, demanding moral compromises that could destroy Van's relationship with his iron-willed girlfriend, Luce. And when a trusted friend's betrayal pushes him to the edge, Van has to enlist help from some unexpected places - including someone he believed was lost forever. The Ranger will need every ally he can get. A powerful, unseen player is about to unleash a firestorm on Seattle that will burn Van and his people to ashes - and it will take a miracle to stop it. Members Reviews: Twisty? Nope, Stupor-ifically Complicated Reeeeely disappointed! Three problems: 1 Reader R.C. Bray starts off with an over-the-top tough guy snarl leaving nowhere to go but down. What happened to the subtle interpretation of Jeff Harding in introducing us to Van Shaw and his crew in "Past Crimes"? 2 Do NOT attempt to listen to this book if you haven't first heard "Past Crimes". This isn't a sequel, it's Part 1b. 3 Complications are distractions, not twists.. Sadly Glen Erick Hamilton is a one hit wonder. Everything in the first book that made the protagonist Van Shaw intriguing is gone in hopes, I suppose, of creating a single dimensional tough guy action hero. He's become a bobble-head action figure. The first novel reverse-engineered a clever caper through the voices of a slightly looney crew of Irish/American rascals. This thing abandons all of that delicate plotting and characterization to maybe snag a movie contract? A BAD movie contract. I'd call Hamilton's characters one-dimensional only because I can't think of a lower number... .5 dimensional? .2 dimensional? Or maybe minus numbers dimensional? It takes about 700 hundred hours of sucky anti-climatic epilogue for Hamilton to end this thing. But, worst... is that Van Shaw becomes duller than the shine on an indigent's shoes. This is the first novel I ever pre-ordered as a result of my enthusiasm over "Past Crimes". It will become the last Erik Shaw novel I buy unless I develop throbbing insomnia. Even that will not make me again listen to R.C. Bray unless his work comes favorably pre-reviewed by reviewers I trust. Save cold hard cash by skipping "Cold Hard Winter." Good one for the series but not great Slow moving sometimes but overall the narrator is fantastic and the characters are interesting. I loved the first book better.

All of the books in this series are about the same - and I've enjoyed every one of them. Nothing too in-depth or thought provoking.

Title: The Candidate Author: Daniel Pembrey Narrator: Simon Vance Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 1 min Language: English Release date: 07-29-14 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 49 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: Nick Thorneycroft is a British headhunter working in Luxembourg. His company asks him to recruit a high-flying executive for the company's Russian business. The best candidate turns out to be smart, beautiful...and mysterious. Soon the effects of Russias political upheaval, and the arrival of an ex-girlfriend who wont leave him alone, make Nicks Luxembourg life increasingly perilous; worlds collide in this gripping, atmospheric tale. Members Reviews: Great Short Story For me 3 hours is not a book it's a short story. Pembrey starts off with a great concept for a book and I totally enjoyed it. I am not familiar with this narrator either but I was impressed by his presentation of the material. The only thing wrong with this story is that it just was not developed into a total novel. The ending was very abrupt, which was disappointing but I will still give what was there 4 stars! So if you need something to do for a 3 hour flight or layover this would be an excellent choice. I would like to see this author pick this book back up and really develope it. look forward to more from this author on Audible Simon Vance is in top form. Engaging suspense but.... but it stopped with a 'then I woke up' ending. more experimental than a 'short story' story to my thinking. OK it added to the character, and not the story Now we know Daniel Pembrey can write, "bring it on" and do have Simon as narrator please. At the end, you went 'what?' Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not? Not really, this book had no point. The mystery wasn't really a mystery and didn't ever really tie into the story in a real way. What was most disappointing about Daniel Pembreys story? It didn't make sense. The people after him and the reason why he lost his memory and why they were all trying to get the candidate had no big payoff, no explanation that mattered. The end of the story was just bleh. Was The Candidate worth the listening time? Not really, the performance was fine and it passed the time but the story not worth it.

Title: Lovely, Dark, and Deep Subtitle: The Collectors, Book 1 Author: Susannah Sandlin Narrator: Amy McFadden Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 28 mins Language: English Release date: 06-24-14 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 101 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: From award-winning author Susannah Sandlin comes a heart-pounding romantic thriller that pits a quick-witted scientist and a scarred excombat diver against a ruthless billionaire treasure hunter with ties to the White House. When biologist Gillian Campbell makes an offhand comment about a family curse during a TV interview, she has no idea what her words will set in motion. Within days, Gillian finds herself at the mercy of a member of the C7, a secretive international group of power brokers with a dangerous game: competing to find the worlds most elusive treasures, no matter the cost, in money or in lives. To save her family, Gillian teams up with Shane Burke, a former elite diver whos lost his way, navigating the brutal "death coast" of the North Atlantic to find what the collector seeks: the legendary Ruby Cross of the Knights Templar, stolen by Gillians ancestor and lost at sea 400 years ago. Members Reviews: Couldn't stop listening Great storyline with suspense, mystery, romance and comedy rolled into one. Love this author and narration was excellent! Can't wait to listen to the next one. Awesome book and narrator.. Any additional comments? Such a great story! From beginning to end I couldn't turn the pages fast enough. But how Shane and Gillian could let one of the bad guys go is beyond me. And speaking of Shane and Gillian they were were a wonderful pair. Loved Jagger and Charlie. Hated Tex, Son of Tex and Weston Flynn. A really great read. As to the author: WOW! All the voices were individual and distinct. Ms. McFadden just keeps getting better and better. Absolutely loved her voice for Uncle Charlie. Perfect job, Ms. McFadden grating valley girl voice and flimsy plot I couldn't get past the narration. Also, although I enjoyed her other series, the damsel in peril for no good reason really didn't do it for me. Threats to family and children within 10 minutes. Evil, smarmy bad guys. Good Book @ $7.34 This book is a stand alone mystery/romance with an HEA. This story begins with a mysterious man playing a treasure hunt "game". The person who instigated the hunt is a widowed alligator wrangler named Gillian. She has a sad past that is hinted at. Gillian is forced to find a treasure rumored to have been lost by one of her ancestors in the 1700's, off of a Canadian coast. Now we meet down on his luck captain-for-hire, Shane. Shane comes with some colorful characters who each play roles on the story, especially Jagger and Harley. Gillian lets Shane know the truth about this mission. People she cares about are being threatened unless she gets the treasure within 30 days. Shane begins to be threatened as well and the 2 start out on the adventure. I had a hard time with the time line. Gillian, Shane and the boat are in the Florida Keys. They have to research where this alleged boat sunk, retrofit and update a boat and travel to Canada, not to mention finding a gold cross in the ocean. The ease with which everything falls into place is the only thing I didn't buy. The romance and discussion into the respective tragic pasts was very moving. The quirky friends and even the "Demon dog" Tank, were quite funny.

Elite bodyguard Ryan Lock has become a convicted felon, sentenced to twenty years in Pelican Bay, California's notorious supermax prison. Or at least that's what the United States Justice Department wants everyone to believe. In reality, he's there to protect one man. Frank 'Reaper' Hays is a founding member of the white supremacist Aryan Brotherhood, and is about to give evidence against members of his own gang for the brutal slaying of an undercover ATF agent and his family. And just to make an already difficult job next to impossible, Reaper refuses to go into protective custody. In a world dominated by violent men, where alliances are constantly shifting and no one can be trusted, Lock knows that he faces the toughest assignment of his career - just to stay alive... Members Reviews: Not Recommended Superficial character development. There is no depth to the characters, not enough reader/listener connection to care about what happens to them. This leads to a lack of tension and suspense. Plot is a bit ridiculous. The book is the opposite of a page turner. I could have stopped listening at any time. I did listen to the first book in this series first and I think it is better than this one but still not stellar. I had hoped I would see improvement from the writer Sean Black but alas it did not improve. Steven Cooper's performance was adequate. I think there are better stories in this genre and recommend Mason Cross, Brad Taylor, Brett Battles, Michael Connelly, Brian Haig, and Alex Berenson .

House Rules Audiobook by Jodi Picoult

Title: House Rules Author: Jodi Picoult Narrator: uncredited Format: Unabridged Length: 20 hrs Language: English Release date: 09-30-11 Publisher: Whole Story Audiobooks Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 63 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: Teenager Jacob Hunt has Asperger's syndrome. A forensic science wizard, he shows up at crime scenes and gives law enforcement officials his advice. But when his tutor is found dead, he becomes a suspect. Suddenly, his Aspergers traits - not looking people in the eye, tics and twitches - look more like guilt in the view of police. And Jacob's mother must ask herself the hardest question in the world: is her child capable of murder? Members Reviews: Lovely and a little frustrating I thoroughly enjoyed this book right up until the last two hours. What actually happened to Jess was all but spelled out for us in the first section of the story, so it felt like Picoult was trying to create a tension in the reader that wasn't there, by dragging out how long it took her characters to figure it out. Instead, I just felt frustrated by their lack of perspicacity - because they all seemed suddenly too dumb to ask the obvious question. The book on the whole, however, was a joy to listen to. The narrators were excellent, and I loved the switching viewpoints, as the story is told by Jacob, Emma, Oliver, Rich and Theo. Jacob and Theo's perspectives are the best, as two teenagers who are frustrated and conflicted, but thoroughly good at heart, and while one has Aspergers and all the challenges that brings, the other suffers the fallout of a mother too busy for him. The tears I shed were always when one of these two characters was talking. Overall, I would definitely recommend this book. It is thoroughly researched (as all Picoult's novels are), and aside from a little impatience and frustration towards the very end, I spent a very happy 20+ hours listening to this. Great re-read I read this book years ago and it was great to hear it come to life. It's a fantastic story about family love and acceptance. As usual Ms Picoult has done her research into every little detail and the characters are believable. I would agree with another poster that the book was a bit too long but that doesn't mean it wasn't packed with twists along the way. One minor frustration is that Audible has posted the narrator's as uncredited and I had to wait to the end until I could find out the names of the voice actors so I could look up to see what else they'd done. Some of the other books by these actors haven't been reviewed yet and I have two lined up (Joah and Jehnna - Andy Paris) in my wishlist. For your convenience here are the list of actors: Nicole Poole - Emma Andy Paris - Theo Mark Turetsky - Jacob Rich Orlo - Rich Christopher Evan Welch - Oliver One thing is that the book states Jacob speaks in a monotone but his own parts of the book are considerably more animated but that may have ben to stop the reader from turning off. A great read even it was a bit long! Insightful As a person with Asperger's myself I found the insights into autism so accurate. The character dynamics are the real grip to this story with well thought out story arcs and sub plots. Thought provoking. A bit long , could have been more compact and still had enough content to keep the reader interested. Well narrated audiobook . Exceedingly long You can't fault Jodi Picoult research about the subject of her books and she certainly did a lot for this book. What I don't know now about Asperger's isn't worth knowing. As per previous reviewers comments the final outcome was a bit predictable.

I was captured by her exquisite writing, her ability to depict that world so vividly, and her skill in weaving a complicated but believable plot. (Joan Hansen, founder, Men of Mystery Festival, and winner of the Raven Award from the Mystery Writers of America ) Members Reviews: This is a great narrator! What did you love best about Dead Mans Switch? The narration! What does Nicole Vilencia bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? The narrator deliver's a wonderful read. This book is a great little murder mystery. If you like these stories, you will love this book.

Barrett Narrator: Dino Marnika Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 44 mins Language: English Release date: 05-20-10 Publisher: Bolinda Publishing Pty Ltd Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 32 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: From the best-selling author of the Les Norton series. The Tesla Legacy, set in Newcastle, Muswellbrook, Scone, and the mysterious Burning Mountain in New South Wales, is an action-packed, pace-driven thriller woven with intrigue and a delightful touch of humour and romance, and an ending guaranteed to send chills down your spine. Nikola Tesla was a scientist that some argue was a greater genius than Einstein. He died in the United States in 1943, but what was he doing in Australia in 1925? A Newcastle electrician and his girlfriend try to find out, but it seems more than one person wants to stop them, including the CIA. The Tesla Legacy proves, once again, why Robert G. Barrett is, according to The Australian newspaper, the king of popular fiction. Critic Reviews: "Do not read this book in public unless you are comfortable laughing in front of strangers." (Sidney Morning Herald) "A cracker of a read...a good touch of the smarts and lashings of heartfelt humour." (West Australian) Members Reviews: interesting story this is an interesting story that had a few twist. not what i was looking for but i did listen to the entire program. i did enjoy the Australian accent. The grouse! Very funny Love this author and narrator. Just a romping good story. It is very funny in an unique Australian way. I am not sure that non Australians will understand the book This book was ridiculously disappointing. This was the biggest disappointment yet to be found on audible....I was really hoping for a book about tesla, not some two bit made up version of how his life "might have played out from teen years". ugh. This made me want to delete audible.com Hard to understand. Couldn't get passed chapter 1 Would you try another book from Robert G. Barrett and/or Dino Marnika? To distorted and a Aussie narrator made it difficult to listen to. Audio poor. Not what I even expected. What do you think your next listen will be? Depends more marketing social media books but I will listen to the sample very carefully. Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Dino Marnika? Definitely not Dina What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment? Disappointed Any additional comments? I went by the title. Can't judge by the cover alone The Tesla Legacy I enjoyed the Australian accent,at least for one hour-the book is terrible.I gave after an hour.

The Murder When two journalists are found dead in a Stockholm apartment, police are baffled by what appears to be a professional killing. The Suspect Ex-security analyst and former child delinquent Lisbeth Salander is wanted for murder, but the trail has gone cold. The only way Salander can be reached is by computer. But she for her part can break into almost any network she chooses. Members Reviews: Excellent! I loved The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and was anxious to get the second book of the trilogy, so when I saw it was available I inmediately downloaded, the only dissapointment that it is the abridge version, hope the unabridge it's avalaible soon. Maybe the book is fine, the abridged version isn't After listening to the first book in the series (The girl with the dragon tattoo) which I enjoyed, I went ahead and listened to this one. Like I said in the title maybe the book itself is just as good as the first one, but the abridged version is very bad. It mostly feels like reading a book for children (in terms of details, and complexity). I would not recommend this, and I won't buy the last one in the series as it is only currently available abridged. One last note about the narration, if you listened to the first book, it will take you quite some time to get used to the narrator, it's not that it's bad, it's just very different. Fired-up The second in the Millenium series, by late Stieg Larsson. This book maintains the momentum of the first one (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo). A story with pace, action and surprises, it is well worth a listen. At time it stretches credulity somewhat, but then, what good thriller does not? Somewhat surprising, different narrators are used for the two books. Both are good, but this does break the continuity unnecessarily. Excellent Crime Drama Intriguing, captivating with a super voice performance. The second entry in the series threw so many twists and turns at the reader, keeping your engaged, vociferously waiting for the next big reveal. Excellency in crime drama personified, with an excellent cast of characters, settings and tones that keeps the reader locked in to the story. Not clever, I struggle to keep interested... Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not? I am half way and not so eager to finish... its just rather boring and full of unnecessary mundane things with a bit of interesting sides of the characters. Would you recommend The Girl Who Played With Fire to your friends? Why or why not? I wouldn't really recommend this novel, the performance is dull and the voice is a weird interpretation. Also the performer for some reason reads as if it was set in England and that Lisbeth was from a ghetto. The author is just desperately trying to fill my mind with nonsense and the story (which is rather simple so far) is taken too long to unfold. Was The Girl Who Played With Fire worth the listening time? Not really.

Now it's his job to make sure the president-elect doesn't lose his. For eight years, America has been led by a president hell-bent on aggressive foreign policy and rebuilding the nation on Christian values. A new administration is on its way in, but the president has a few power moves left to see his legacy solidified. Moderate conservative Edward Carson is taking the reins, hoping to set America on a new course. But weeks before Inauguration Day, Carson's daughter, Alli, goes missing from her college dormitory. Jack McClure is an ATF agent who recently lost his daughter in a terrible accident...and Jack's daughter was Alli's roommate. When the president-elect chooses him to lead the search for the first daughter, Jack approaches the quest fiercely. The investigation leads him onto the path of a dangerous and calculating man - someone whose actions are as cold as they are intelligent, a man whose reach is seemingly infinite. Faith, redemption, and political intrigue play off one another as McClure journeys into the path and mind of a calculating genius who always manages to stay one step ahead of him. And Jack will soon discover that this man has affected his life in more ways than he ever realized. Critic Reviews: "Rarely have I read a book that grabs you so fast in the opening scene (and, oh, how it grabs!), then keeps up the pace until the very last page. Goodbye sleep; hello First Daughter." (Jeffery Deaver) Members Reviews: Not worth the read The plot of the book has great potential, however the Author rambles on and on and takes forever to move the plot. There are so many people floating in and out of the story from the present to the past that it's hard to keep track of everyone. You can figure out most of the ending early on, which also takes the luster off of the story. The main character is emotionally unstable hearing voices and seeing visions of his dead daughter which is totally unbelieveable. The most troubling part of this book is the Author's intent to force his secularist views down your throat. He belittles the people in the book who have morals and any sort of Christian background, making sure they commit heinous sin or acts against God or others. I've read a lot of books/books on CD, and this one is the worst of them all anti Bush anti religion bigotry I liked the book in general but every single chapter had as the current president a religious zealot who was a war monger and wanted to change the US into a theocracy. As if. It was one bigoted stereotype after another. I am NOT religous thats for sure. I can see a Bush bashing book when I read one. All the "reformers" and "moderates" are wonderful and anyone willing to be religious (conservative christians only mentioned not jews or islamics) etc. are the evil bad guys. HORRIBLE BIGOTRY THINLY WRAPPED IN A STORY. A Great 'Who Done It' I liked this book from the very first moment I listened. A very good story with a tight timeline for adventure lovers. And an interesting main character that I could relate to him and his childhood, and his life. And has a twist at the ending that left me 'jaw dropped'. First Daughter I confess - I will pick up/purchase and/or listen to books written by Eric Van Lustbader.

Title: Bad Press Author: Maureen Carter Narrator: Clare Corbett Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 44 mins Language: English Release date: 05-03-16 Publisher: Creative Content Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: A Bev Morriss crime novel A serial killer is targeting paedophiles in Birmingham, and crime reporter Matt Snow always gets there first - ahead of the pack and the police. Is the murderer tipping him off? Snow isn't revealing his source - not when it's a story to die for. But is the reporter breaking the news - or making it? Through it all, Bev has an exclusive of her own...a news item she'd rather didn't get round the nick. The guv knows, but he's on sick leave. Should she let DC Mac Tyler in on the secret - or keep mum? Members Reviews: Fab British Police Procedural starring Bev Morriss Review I'm not quite sure of the reason why I like the Bev Morriss series so much. I don't usually enjoy the "feisty but foolhardy" type of female protagonist so popular in crime fiction, but there is something appealing about Bev. Maybe it's all in the writing. The opening chapter describes a man carefully performing his morning grooming ritual, he is a handsome man, always carefully dressed, yet on this morning he is taking extra care with his appearance, he has something of great importance to do today. He kisses his wife goodbye and leaves their beautiful home. Be careful, all is not what it seems! When ambitious crime reporter Matt Snow took a call from the office to attend a crime scene he was so hung over that he almost refused. Only the thought that it might be the "Big Story" that would propel him to fame and fortune got him out of bed. Little did Matt know what he was in for. Matt was first at the scene, there were none of the blue lights or any of the police activity he had expected to see, just him and the dead man who, it transpired, was a paedophile. Two patrolling police constables spotted Matt with the body. More paedophiles were murdered and Matt was always first on the scene, yet he insisted his information came from an anonymous caller. Despite his protestations the police believe he is involved. Yet much as she herself dislikes Matt she can't see him as a serial killer and so does a little more poking around on the side. She makes friends with another reporter at Matts newspaper, this reporter is happy to give Bev as much information on Matt as she can find. Information that leads to a very strange world. Bev has her own private worries to deal with, confiding only in her friend Frankie and "the Guv" D.S. Byford who is on sick leave. Both are, in their own ways, trying to help Bev who, living up to her reputation, is being as difficult as ever. I thoroughly enjoyed this story, it has a fast moving plot, interestingly drawn characters and a great ending. Narrator Narrated by Clare Corbett, a noted actress of screen stage and radio. Clare is a very polished narrator with a lovely, easy to listen to voice. however, in my opinion Clares' weakness is the male voice, they aren't believable and I found it difficult to differentiate between some of them, particularly the ones with the Birmingham accent.

A wife with a thirst for revenge desperately trying to save her marriage while hiding in the shadows of her memories...A woman with questionable intentions, a sketchy past, and a taste for unavailable men...A husband in love with his wife, a man mesmerized by his mistress, a willing hostage caught between two obsessive women. A murderer, a liar, and a cheater. You think you know which one is which, but nothing is as it seems. After all, everyone wears a mask. Some are just better at hiding the truth than others. Lies will be exposed. Truths revealed. Blood shed. All in the name of something far more potent than love and much more toxic. Members Reviews: 5 star story w/ 2 narrators: 1 fantastic, 1 awful STORY: 5 stars FEMALE NARRATOR REBECCA ROBERT'S PERFORMANCE: 5 stars MALE NARRATOR MATEO REATE'S PERFORMANCE: 1 star OVERALL: 3.5 stars (rounded up to 4) I received a free Audible audiobook in exchange for my review. STORY: Ella Dominguez hit a home run with Altered State! This exciting, suspenseful, sizzling hot erotic romance had me on my toes, guessing at what was going on from page 1! This truly is a story unlike anything I've ever read which impressed the hell out of me since I read a LOT of books! Not only was the plot unexpected, it was well written. Because of Ms. Dominguez's remarkable character development, I felt like I, "met" some new people. At times I'd forget that I was reading a fictional book, the characters becoming companions who were sharing their personal stories with me. Not only did Dominguez hit a home run with Altered State but she also proved that she's capable of throwing some incredible curveballs! Early in the book I thought I knew what was happening, certain that this book was going to be predictable but I was so wrong! The twists in this book are mind blowing and come when you least expect them! Altered State is a great mindfuck that readers of all genres will enjoy! With mystery, romance, secrets, suspense, passion, crime, obsession, lies, love, heartbreak and more, there really is something for everyone in this book! REBECCA ROBERTS' PERFORMANCE: 99% of the male character dialogue was narrated by Mateo Reate while the remainder and majority of this audiobook was narrated by Rebecca Roberts. Ms. Roberts' performance was great, making it clear that this was not her first time recording an audiobook. Throughout the recording, she was able to produce just the right amounts of emotion, pause for just the right amounts of time and kept her tone of voice and volume at just the right levels. Because she was able to create two distinct voices, Ms. Roberts made it easy for listeners to decipher between the two female main characters. Ms. Roberts is a talented narrator capable of bringing the characters and the story to life! She's fun to listen to and she makes narrating seem like a piece of cake! MATEO REATE'S PERFORMANCE: It took me over 90 minutes to write this review, attempting to use the least hurtful, derogatory words possible while still being 100% honest about Mateo Reate's performance. Despite the time and energy spent, the truth is that I've never heard a performance worse than Reate's (& I've listened to 40 approximately audiobooks during the past 5 years). Prior to hearing Mr.

He doesn't have the resources he once did, but he's already hatched a new plan to sell a forgery of a stolen Van Gogh painting through the shady underground art market. He and his new partner, the smooth-talking Paul Reece, have a mark in mind: The sleazy con-man art dealer who swooped in on Mickey's beloved ex-wife after he was locked up.

Members Reviews: Conning a con-man Mickey has been in prison for three years for insider stock trading. His beloved wife has taken up with an "art dealer" who is really a con-man who has take $8 million from her, although she believes he has invested it for her. Mickey and a friend hatch a scheme to get Mickey's wife and the $8 million the con man has stolen from her back. The go to great extremes to con the con-man. This is a light and fun novel that is well worth the cost and the time invested. Good Book Kept my attention through out, I also listened to this book on audible and made it very enjoyable Couldn't Ask for More Would you listen to Mickey Outside again? Why? Most definitely. Audiobooks ought to be listened to multiple times. You get something different out of each experience. I feel like with Mickey Outside, it would be easier to pick up the little details and foreshadowing the second time through. Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How? Indeed. It wasn't as predictable as I thought it would be. I constantly was second guessing myself on what was going to happen next. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? It was always about Goldstein.

The Matlock Paper Audiobook by Robert Ludlum

Title: The Matlock Paper Author: Robert Ludlum Narrator: Stephen Hoye Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 35 mins Language: English Release date: 07-10-12 Publisher: Random House Audio Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 21 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: The name on the computer screen is James Barbous Matlock. Vietnam veteran. College professor. He's Washington's choice to stop a far-reaching conspiracy, an undercover assignment destined to put Matlock's neck against the razor's edge of danger. And the faceless men in Washington don't care if it means savaging the women Matlock loves, or trapping Matlock in a maze of unrelenting terror. They care about just one thing: that Matlock is the perfect man for the job... for a reason that is disturbing, violent, and extremely deadly. Critic Reviews: "A sure winner... fast paced, suspenseful, and bound to keep you turning the pages." (The Denver Post) Members Reviews: Not up to par, Mr. Ludlum What would have made The Matlock Paper better? The story takes place in the 1980's but the book was released July 10, 2012. I'm not sure when it was written but it did not measure up to prior Ludlum standards. The story was so contrived that I had difficulty suspending my disbelief with many of the scenarios, especially the premise that organized crime has co-opted control of many prestigious northeast universities, and that these universities now augment their foundations with money from drug, gambling, and prostitution activities, all with the help of their students. Stephen Hoye did not add much to the mix. I don't think I will purchase another audio book narrated by him. Although I have enjoyed many Ludlum books in the past, I am reluctant to try another in light of this experience.

Heartstone Audiobook by Phillip Margolin

But the youthful passion that led them to Lookout Park that terrible evening would prove fatal. For Richie Walters the end came swiftly, as death descended upon him in a savage orgy of horrific violence. Elaine Murray would live long enough to learn just how lucky her boyfriend had been.... Two brutal slayings have rocked a stunned city. But the murders are merely the nightmares beginning, flinging open a terrifying Pandoras box of sordid secrets and dark revelations more deadly than the bloodlust that lives in the rock-hard heart of a killer. Members Reviews: Margolin's 1st novel. He got better. Phillip Margolin published "Heartstone" 'way back in 1978. It has an acceptable plot, and acceptable writing for a first attempt. If it had been given excellent narrator ??? like, say, Ray Porter, Oliver Wyman, or even George Guidall ??? this audiobook might warrant four stars. Mel Foster has a good voice, but inadequate acting chops to rescue an almost-good audiobook like "Heartstone." He drags this audiobook down. Somehow, Mr. Foster sounds like he is reading a children's book ??? which category definitely does not apply to "Heartstone." Margolin fans might want to listen to "Heartstone" just to complete their collection; and legal-thriller fans might want to include it in theirs. Otherwise, skip this one, and go on to later Margolin audiobooks. Not very contemporary This must've been written a while back. Going steady and thinking someone is a square? Waste of time. Who Dunit? This is a great listen. A young couple are killed at a make out spot and the police can't prove who did it. There are suspects, but dubious hypnotherapy sessions and determined cops and DAs twist the facts. Keeps you guessing to the end.

Phelps Narrator: Jessica Geffen Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 11 mins Language: English Release date: 11-16-12 Publisher: Jean Wise Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 26 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: New job. New name. New assignment. When Alexis Stanton, a.k.a. Ms. Grey, is assigned to uncover the true identity of the infamous sniper Penumbra, she's also expected to protect the business mogul next on the assassin's hit list. The one person who holds the key to the sniper's true identity warns Alex not to dig any deeper. Penumbra has never missed his mark and will take out anyone who gets in the way. Members Reviews: Boring, poorly edited, no suspense This book was simplistic at its best. It was not properly edited and the grammatical errors were distracting. The author wrote the whole story from the main character's mind in first person. It lacked depth, was bland, and where there was supposed action, it lacked suspense and was quite predictable. The only emotions in the whole story were the endless insecurities about the main character's attractive co-worker. The main character whined annoyingly. I gave it two stars rather than one because I read it to the end. I guess I was hoping it would get better as I went on. I won't be continuing with the next in the series. Five Stars Wonderful story. Great author. Alexis the strong! This series takes twists around the steam engine paradigm that amaze and delight me...not your average reader either. I require entertainment at every page turn...and Phelps delivers with humor and compassion. Those are Alexis traits artfully woven into a strong feminine personality that remains humble and ever ready to lead her team into dodges and scraps that defy gravity. And there may be some credit due to her mentor character, I credit the fortitude and determination to Alexis who strives to make life better for a society that's bound by the greed of emerging business minds who ignore the needs of anyone beneath their station in life. Oh ya...looks alot like my world today too. I am inspired by this tale of triumph and tragedy. Sassy and fun A little undercover special non military rich girl with romance? I'm in! Loved following the characters of the series, although I do wish there had been more follow up or spin offs on some of the other characters (maybe Brown or Black?). Fun & Fast I have read two in this series so far and really like the characters. One reveiw mentioned she (Alexis) had a really bad mouth. I did not see that. I will read another for sure.

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 31 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: I'm not who they say I am. Trust me. But can she? Reclusive novelist Aaron Westhaven, a man she's admired - and more - for years, has accepted Olivia Dupree's invitation to speak at a local fundraiser. But the day he's due to arrive, she gets a call summoning her to the bedside of a John Doe whose sole possession is her business card. Can this undeniably compelling man - survivor of an execution-style gunshot wound - really be the novelist the lonely Olivia has grown to think of as a near soul mate? If not, he can be in Shadow Falls for only one reason: to kill her. Olivia, too, has secrets. And discovering the truth about the man in the hospital bed means dredging up her own past - a past she's been hiding from for 16 years. Members Reviews: Can't listen to anymore... I am into chapter 2 and just can't listen to the narration anymore. The voices given to the characters are ludicrous. The cop sounds like a bumbling idiot and the heroine like Betty Boop. The story line is interesting enough I'll switch to the printed version. Loved the book. I enjoyed this book. It was great. I read the second story, or third. I liked this story just as wonderful. I love Maggie Shayne. Olivia or Marge Simpson??? The narator does not do well with voices. The 2 main characters sound like a mob hit man and Marge Simpson! Narration is an important part of an audiobook and bad narration can destroy an otherwise excellent story...unfortunately I have been finding alot of that from Audible lately. Fast moving romantic thriller Olivia's past is about to catch up with her and she may not get out alive. Unsure of who to trust she finds herself on the run with an amnesiac who may have been hired to kill her. With the enemy on her trail, she must use her wits and limited resources to outwit those after her and reclaim her life, once and for all. Maggie Shayne's inimitable style is evident in this second of the Shadow Falls trilogy. Well written and fast paced, the listener won't want to hit pause. The only complaint I would register is the narrator; the voice was oddly nasal and distracting. Still, don't let that keep you from the great story! lame story, awful narrator The narrator tried to use different voices for the various characters in this book. Unforttunately she chose the most irritating "little girl" voice for the heroine who is supposed to be a university professor. It made it excruciating to finish the story. The book itself starts out fairly well, but the story line got lamer as it progressed.... with the events and behavior of the characters becoming more ludicrous. A very disappointing listen.

Slip Knot: Martha Gunn, Book 2. Audiobook by Priscilla Masters

Author: Priscilla Masters Narrator: Patricia Gallimore Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 38 mins Language: English Release date: 06-24-08 Publisher: Whole Story Audiobooks Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 13 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: When Callum is found dead in his cell just two days after his arrest, it is accepted that he simply could not cope. But was such a timid and intelligent boy really capable of murder? Or of taking his own life? Coroner Martha Gunn dares to dig a bit deeper, unravelling a truth far more disturbing than anything the papers could have made up. Members Reviews: Narrator best part of this book! Martha Gunn is a coroner who must rule on deaths that have occurred as a result of bullying in a school yard. I would not call this a traditional mystery, so much as a study in the psychology of the minds and motives of the people involved, though there is an unknown regarding the deaths in a certain way. Priscilla Master's strength as a writer is in the way she makes parallel stories have an emotional connection, as there are several mothers who are losing their sons for different reasons weaving in and out of the story. Actually, in truth, that is the heart of the story. There are parts of this book left unfinished, so I assume it must pick up in the next episode. I felt unsatisfied not knowing if it just abruptly ends with parts unknown, or the reader is supposed to expect the unfinished parts to pick up in a future book. Patricia Gallimore is an excellent narrator. She does such a wonderful job with different voices. Better with women's than men's, but that is not surprising. The reverse is true for most male narrators. She is rapidly becoming one of my favorite readers, and I am looking for more books she has narrated! Gripping! I'd highly recommend this book. Great story and great narration. This is definitly one of those books that I could listen to in one go. 7+ hours of gripping storyline. It's not fast paced at all but it really grabs your attention! fantastic thriller realistic and has many twists and turns,I could not press the stop button,highly recommended,brilliant characters and well read.

What drives Edward to commit such heinous acts? Who will survive yet another of his moments of madness? The action takes place in Jersey, Cornwall, Manchester, London, and places not of this world. Random Bullets is a crime thriller with a paranormal twist. Members Reviews: Random Bullet This audiobook is very enjoyable not the usual crime thriller I listen but it was easy to get into plus held my attention from beginning to the end several stories mingling into one a bit raunchy in places and a bloodbath at the end Great story I really enjoyed this story. I have to be honest, I didnt at first. I had a difficult time following the switches that take place. Once I figured that out, I still had a little trouble, but it was much better. I almost quit, but I am glad I didnt. It is a great story with a great ending. I think you will enjoy it. This audiobook was provided by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review courtesy of AudiobookBoom dot com. Dark but not in a good way. This book wasnt for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more? This book may be enjoyed by someone with a different tolerance for fringe behaviors and thicker skin, I was turned off at every turn. Has Random Bullets turned you off from other books in this genre? No, I will pay closer attention to the overall storytelling though, not at all my taste. How did the narrator detract from the book? The narrator didn't match the vocal inflection to the story, the highs and lows in volume and timbre were very distracting in being overdone in simple conversation and almost missing when needed to sell the story. A bit to Monte Python, over the top for me. You didnt love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities? Not really, fat shaming, victimizing young girls, etc. Not my kind of mystery. Any additional comments? The overall writing style and pace was well done but the sensationalism was overkill, just present the story simply and give us the needed details, there really is no need to waste a whole chapter on why someone is overweight, sum it up and move on, we get it. There was really no way to follow the book with this narrator, he was all over the place in his infliction and didn't even bother to change his voice or even the pace of his narration with different characters. His rather cheery voice saying "And he shot him in the back of the head." was so distracting and out of place, I had to take a month long break from this book. Very random, difficult to follow. I received this audiobook for free from the author / narrator / publisher in exchange for an unbiased review. Looks like the author wanted to mash multiple genres in this book and as a result, created a confusing mess of a story. It proved very difficult to get into and I couldn't understand what was really going on or where it was all headed. I had to abandon the after a point. The narration too was pretty bland. What just happened? Im not sure what is going on in this book. I couldnt get into it or see the point in finishing it. Its very choppy and the narration is not great. I received a review copy at my request and voluntarily reviewed.

Fans of Tess Gerritsen, James Patterson and Karin Slaughter will not be able to tear themselves away from this explosive thriller. Homicide detective Adam Kimble is no stranger to battling demons. But Meredith Fallon is a different kind of weakness: one that could actually be good for him, if only he would let himself depend on her. Meredith has loved Adam for a year, and seeing how hard he's worked to deal with his PTSD makes her feelings only stronger, but she respects his needs. Her work keeps her busy anyway: she counsels sexually abused women like Mallory Martin to help them reintegrate into the world. But someone doesn't want Meredith helping women like Mallory, and Meredith finds herself the target of a very determined killer. Adam would risk anything for Meredith, but they'll soon find out the killer is just a little too close to home.... Members Reviews: Excellent series The latest in the Cincinnati series is another gripping story with twists. I like the characters who fill each book yet a new set take the lead in the following book. This one focuses on Adam, his love interest being Meredith. Each has their own story, plus the main theme, all of which intertwine intriguingly. Karen Rose has another success here. Another fantastic read
Once again another great book I Can't wait for the next installment of the series loved it I loved Adam and Meredith's story and it was great to hear from some other familiar favourites

When another death occurs, investigations suggest a possible link. Ramsay realises what could have provoked someone to kill...and kill again. Members Reviews: Not For Me Although I like the Ann Cleeves books I found the narration on this too fast and bland. It was difficult to get into the story as it seemed to be read as if the narrator was bored and wanted to get the story off as quick as possible. I hope others enjoy this much more than I have.

Davies Narrator: Nigel Patterson Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 14 mins Language: English Release date: 08-22-17 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: With a damaging, violent case behind him, Adam Park is happy tending to his late mother's canal barge, catching up on his reading, and hoping his increased training is never required. Unfortunately, he owes favors, and when an aid worker is murdered on the Greek island of Paramatra, one such favor is called in. Kai Pace's parents believe the investigation into their son's death is deeply flawed, and Adam is tasked with reviewing the police's conclusions and - if found wanting - identifying the real killer. On an island struggling to cope with the influx of refugees from war zones across the Mediterranean, Adam must battle corruption and ruthless smuggling gangs, all amid people so desperate they will do anything to reach the paradise of the west. If he cannot stay the course and dig out the truth, a murderer will go free, and Adam will fall prey to the same evil. An international investigation that thrusts a private detective from the heart of Greece into northern Africa, where fear and violence will take their toll upon him and challenge the very nature of his soul. Members Reviews: Excellent Adventure I enjoyed the first Adam Park thriller, The Dead and the Missing, immensely. A Desperate Paradise, the second book in the series, is, dare I say it, a masterpiece. This saga has Park, a British private investigator, attempting to solve a murder in Greece, and he ends up in northern Africa in a tense situation involving international intrigue. There are many surprises. I don't want to give anything away, but Park encounters a middle aged couple who turn out to be ex assassins for MI-6. You will end up rooting for them as much as for Park. The hero, Adam Park, is unique. You will, like me, end up anxiously awaiting the next Adam Park adventure. A. D. Davies is a truly talented writer. Adam Park Is Unorthodox But Caring For the Little Guy...Violence Seems To Follow Him Another intriguing adventure with lots of today's issues included. Adam Park is someone who cares about righting wrongs but is he in too far this time around? He responds to a request from his good friend, Jess, to find out who murdered a young man working with migrants on a Greek island. He winds up in the midst of a battle for the drug markets where lots of very bad people are fighting for supremacy. Adam arrives on the island and meets up with the police chief who introduces him to the cousin of the man murdered and who then introduces Adam to many of the migrants. These are people running from wars and who want nothing more than to be safe in another country. The story involves Adam in several adventures where anyone else would probably wind up dead but he has his 'friend' Vila Fanuco watching out for him. This is a very good book and one I could not put down. I read it all day today to finish it so I can get on to the next Adam Park Thriller. Yes, I like this guy and the writer is superb. If you liked Jack Reacher, and Travis McGee, you will love Adam Park... This is my second Adam Park novel. Adam is sort of a cross between Travis McGee and Jack Reacher...He is sort of a PI, has unlimited funds, and he doesn't take any stuff from anyone. The author has scored a hit with these first two Adam Park novels, I hope the rest are as exciting.

Title: Sherlock Holmes and the Affair in Transylvania Author: Gerry O'Hara Narrator: Steve White Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 29 mins Language: English Release date: 02-22-17 Publisher: MX Publishing Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: Sherlock Holmes and Doctor John Watson are returning to London from Bucharest after the great detective has interceded in a delicate matter relating to the Rumanian Royal House. As they depart from Bucharest they receive their mail forwarded from London. Doctor Watson opens a distressing letter from his niece, Mina, now living in Budapest with her young husband, Janos, a newly qualified lawyer. It seems that the young man has not returned from a business assignment in Transylvania. Holmes advises that he and Watson should postpone their return to Baker Street. Watson wires ahead and they are met at the station by Mina and her friend, Lucy Westenra. Holmes is duly intrigued by their stay overnight at the home of Dr. Westenra in the grounds of the asylum of which Dr. Westenra is the Administrator. Holmes suspects that letters from the young lawyer may have been forged, or written under duress. Next day they set off for Castle Dracula. Members Reviews: Guilty pleasure If you've read Stoker's Dracula you will recognize what can only be described as shameless stealing of whole sections of Bram's story. Just substitute Watson for Jonathan Harper at the castle. A monk for several other characters. Holmes, of course, is Van Helsing. If this is an homage it is well done. I have to admit I enjoyed recognizing each blatant robbery. The narrator seemed hesitant at first but was much better as the story progressed.

Title: The Fourth Rule of Ten Author: Gay Hendricks, Tinker Lindsay Narrator: Jeremy Arthur Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 27 mins Language: English Release date: 09-22-16 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 18 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: Ex-Buddhist monk, former LAPD detective, and current private investigator Tenzing "Ten" Norbu knows Bill Bohannon as many things: loving husband, devoted father, police administrator, former partner, and best friend. But then an uninvited guest from Bill's past upends the Bohannons' Fourth of July barbecue, revealing in levelheaded Bill the most unexpected behavior - behavior that awkwardly drops Ten in the middle of a crumbling marriage. Ten makes an unexpected move of his own when he agrees to pro bono work for a convicted felon. But it was dope slinger Godfrey Chambers Ten had repeatedly busted during his days on the force, not the reformed and rechristened G-Force who is now asking for Ten's help in claiming money left to him by a kind-hearted benefactor - and contested by the benefactor's self-serving family. Soon Ten's investigations lead him down the darkest corridors of the Internet and halfway around the globe to Sarajevo as he navigates the seedy worlds of human trafficking and personal regret. As his cases intertwine, Ten will rely on the wisdom of the Buddha and his own network of relationships - with super hacker Mike, outrageously idiosyncratic assistant Kim, old monastery friends Yeshe and Lopsang, Serbian cabbie and former policija Petar, and, of course, feline rock Tank - to solve the puzzle and keep free of his own tangled past. Especially when an old flame returns. The Fourth Rule of Ten, the thrilling fourth book in the Dharma Detective series, proves the only thing better than exceeding expectations is having none at all. Members Reviews: Another tour de force Tenzing Norbu is engaging and the plotting and narration are outstanding. My new favorite binge! Thrilling and philosophical adventures Any additional comments? Jeremy Arthur's smooth and distinctive voice enhances The Fourth Rule to a sublime and enthralling listen. His ability to voice accented and still accurate dialogue by the many characters is truly delightful. I found myself smiling at his versatility and solid cadence many times during this 4th book. He takes great care in matching his choices to the written description and with the addition of foreign accents, adds immeasurably to this wonderful story. The description of the cat, Tank, and his antics are truly one of my favorite parts of the book. WONDERFUL work, sir! Enjoyable & involving! Great detective series if you have a rather Zen turn of mind! Jeremy Arthur is the perfect reader! Bring on the next one!

But her self-imposed exile in Italy comes to an abrupt end when she has to return to New Orleans for the sale of her jewelry company to an international conglomerate. There, she comes face-to-face with Clay Duvall, the duplicitous lover who betrayed her. TriTech CEO Jake Williams has no inkling that the employee behind his company's acquisition of Rossi Designs is a man obsessed with its owner. Now a murder shockingly close to home raises the stakes as a fiendishly orchestrated plot could cast suspicion on Alyssa again - or make her a killer's final victim. Members Reviews: Cinderella Mystery What did you love best about Closer Than She Thinks? This is set in the deep south and shows the values of the elite. The story starts out about wearable art then a long mystery slowly is uncovered. What other book might you compare Closer Than She Thinks to and why? As a 20 yr fan of the author, the audio version has prompted me to purchase this book. Author is a good romance mystery writer. Some books better than others. The Hideaway is not to be missed and hopefully soon on Audible. Tempting Fate is a great book don't miss it, even though the reader is not a fave of mine. Must use the new 1.25x speed to get author's intent. What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike? This author doesn't have the feel good humor of Rachel Gibson so Ms Bean had to work with humor that was quaint but not hilarious, even our hero mentions this in a scene. Do not miss Tami Hoags Still Waters mystery romance read by Ms Bean. It will knock your socks off. (I am making this reads comparison to Still Waters, which maybe unfair) Ms Bean does such justice to Sandra Browns Witness another don't miss read. Any additional comments? I noticed that author or distributor has opted for a different reader for each book. Smart as each reader has a different style and author has a different rhythm in each of her stories. I hope they pair Ms Angela Dawe for The Hideaway. Karen White, Christina Traister could also do a great job. For whatever reason, the selected group of readers for author's new audio releases of previously published books are not on my top 5 list, so use a Gold credit if you can.

The Last Victim Audiobook by Kevin O'Brien

But everything changes when Bridget is reminded of the secret she and Brad have been keeping since high school, a secret that could destroy the campaign - and their lives. Someone else knows what they did. Someone who's been picking off the members of their little group one by one.... His job keeps him busy, but he loves every moment of it. Following them, photographing them, and immortalizing them on canvas. He knows exactly how they'll look when the last breath is drawn, because he has planned out their deaths with perfect precision. And the best is yet to come: Bridget Corrigan. He has very special plans for her portrait; she just doesn't know it yet. With every "accident" that befalls the members of her old clique, Bridget feels danger edging closer to home. Yet uncovering the truth about the killer would mean revealing what really happened that horrible night years ago. She'll have to find someone to trust - the question is, who? Because turning to the wrong person could be the last mistake she ever makes.... Members Reviews: Secrets can be a killer... Any additional comments? I did not realize this is not a new book, only new to Audible. However, I found it to be another excellent book written by Kevin O'Brien. This is a book about keeping secrets. Teenage fraternal twins, boy/girl and their friends do something they will live to regret. Now, 20 years later someone is killing them one at a time. By this time the Brad, the male twin is in politics while his recently separated sister does his PR, scheduling and various out her duties to make his run for the senate a success. In the midst of all this everyone involved in their "mistake" is being killed, ditto for everyone any of them have ever told. Who knows what they did and who wants revenge? And one of the twisted killers had his own agenda and this really puts Bridget in all sorts of danger. The ending gives this book a final twist that is one of those "I knew it!" moments. It is a little dated but mostly by the use of pay phones! I thoroughly enjoy this author, his books are complex and twisted. I like that you almost never know if someone is a good/bad guy until the end and you never know who is trustworthy. Happily this book has two (maybe three) such characters. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. If you found this review helpful please indicate so. Thank You. Boring Narrator was ok. I really Love Kevin O'Brien books, but this one didn't do it for me.

Through Smoke Audiobook by J.R. Tate

Tate Narrator: Chris Okawa Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 33 mins Language: English Release date: 12-14-15 Publisher: J Tate Publications Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: Firefighter Michael McGinnis is no stranger to intense situations. Veteran of New York's Ladder 21 Company as a search and rescue man, he has seen his share of burning infernos, high-rise saves, and intense emergency situations. Despite McGinnis' years on the job, nothing can prepare him for getting tangled in his brother's mistakes as a drug addict and gambler, especially when a bloodthirsty bookie gets involved. A romance sparks between him and fellow paramedic, Eva Crisante, catching him even more off guard. Morals are tested, lies are told, and relationships are built and then torn to ruins. The problems ahead are more challenging than any fire McGinnis has experienced. He learns that bravery is not only needed in his job with the department, but also in dire situations away from work. His tough love for his brother is tested, proving that there truly are things more dangerous than a five-alarm fire. Members Reviews: Have a few hours to burn? Good escapism in a book..... Basically a romance set in a firehouse/rescue station. The hero Mike or Mikey ( what adult male firefighter would want to be called Mikey?) Spends more time having days off, recovering from injury, or other incidents ( I won't spoil the story line ) than he does fighting fires. The villain of the story is pretty one-dimensional , while parts of the plot are pretty transparent. Once the characters were in a situation, you pretty much knew how that situation would end . Been there, read that before a hundred times. That said, the writing itself was actually enjoyable . No complaints there. You may have been able to guess that the book was going from point A to point B, but the trip getting there was quite well done. I would have like to give this book 3 1/2 stars if possible . But half stars are not an option . It's not a bad book by any means, just one that you've read before with different characters in different settings. Good escapism when you want to get away for a few hours . Recipe for Trouble In Through Smoke, J.R. Tate stirs up a recipe for not only trouble but danger and disaster. This is no cookbook thriller, however, because the ingredients of drug addiction, alcoholism, gambling, and family dysfunction create a mixture that is volatile, explosive and altogether edgy. Tate's characters are believable and realistic. She has developed each person so that you are drawn into their struggles and find yourself loving and hating at the same time. You are attracted to the hero, Michael McGinnis, and begin rooting for him from the very beginning of the story. His family relationships are sadly all too familiar. His own struggle with alcohol, his brother's drug addiction and gambling problem lead Michael down the primrose path of enabling an addict and all the while rationalizing why he is putting himself and his girlfriend, Eva, in harm's way by protecting Casey, his younger brother. Stir in the consequences of finding himself on the wrong side of Casey's bookie, mounting danger as the bookie seeks retribution, a workplace romance, some guilt and shame and you have a thrill ride that keeps you on the edge of your seat. You cheer Michael on as he does his job as a search and rescue firefighter and you hiss and boo as Viper, the bookie does his vilest to destroy not only Casey, but Michael and his girlfriend and their very lives.

Title: The Dead Can Wait Author: Robert Ryan Narrator: Richard Burnip Format: Unabridged Length: 14 hrs Language: English Release date: 04-23-15 Publisher: Simon & Schuster UK Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 33 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: Deep in England's green and pleasant land something evil lurks.... Dr. John Watson is back home, fresh from his time in the trenches of Flanders Fields. The horrors of war weigh heavy on his mind, and now his task is to help rehabilitate soldiers suffering from the crippling effects of shell-shock. But the war is not yet over and in one corner of England lies a secret, one that the establishment is determined to keep under wraps. For in the woodlands of the lush countryside, the government is building the secret weapon which will win the war for Britain. Here, they are developing the land ship - never-before-seen "tanks" which the army is convinced will end the stalemate on the Western Front. But then disaster strikes. After a training exercise in one of the tanks, eight men are mysteriously struck down, seven of them dead. There is just the one survivor, and he's not talking. It is clear something is horribly wrong, and the army calls in the only man who will know how to solve the mystery: Dr. John Watson. Members Reviews: Oh dear, Watson. Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Yes, for twenty die hard fans of Holmes there are at least 20% hard core Watson fans who wanted to get to know the 'real' Dr.Watson uncensored by his own pen. In order to be best pals with Sherlock Holmes, one cannot be a total idiot who goes about pointing at things in total cluelessness. Yay, for Dr. Watson! Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How? Ouch! The number times Dr. Watson got injured, I'm surprised he managed to make it to the final pages. However, the book did indicated that the good Doctor (or Major, if you prefer) have weeks to recover after a serious bout of injury, so, not quite so out of bounds. What about Richard Burnips performance did you like? I like Dr. Watson and Sherlock Holmes' voices. It was not particularly outstanding, but the little errors and inconsistencies with non-major characters can be easily overlooked as the plot pushes on. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? I listened to it when I drive, so not really. But I did drive more slowly so I can listen to it longer. Any additional comments? If only there are more Dr. Watson books out there. Good follow up. Watson on his second outing without Holmes and this book is every bit as good as the first. Okay it's a bit slow to start but it does pick up and move along nicely. Dead bodies, new inventions, zeppelins and spies all running alongside a budding romance what's not to like :) It looses a star as I worked out a major twist early on. Richard Burnip narrates well and his Winston Churchill is recognisable. An excellent WW1 novel sprinkled with factual data. Well worth a credit. :) Just Not Grabbing Me... I don't know what my problem is with this title, but it's just not grabbing me at all. It's 1916 and the British Army are developing a new weapon that they hope will bring an end to the Great War. However a live test has killed 6 out of 7 operators, and left the 7th man a deranged mute. Call in Dr Watson to see what's up. There, I've just summarised the first 12 chapters. (Yes, I did say 12 Chapters) To say the pace is slow would be an understatement.

Les Norton is back in town! Trouble seems to follow Les like a blue heeler after a mob of sheep. Maybe it's his job - being a bouncer at the infamous and illegal Kelly Club in Kings Cross isn't exactly the stuff a quiet life is made of. Maybe it's his friends, like Price Galese, the urbane and well-connected owner of the Kelly Club, or Eddie Salita, the hitman who learned to kill in Vietnam, or Reg Campbell, struggling artist and dope dealer. But then again maybe Les is just unlucky.... Members Reviews: good story good story but narrator was difficult to understand. sounded a bit muffled so had to adjust audio settings

Ever since their paths first crossed, Sergeant Doakes hasn't let Dexter Morgan out of his sight. Dexter may well be the Miami PD's blood-spatter analyst, but Sgt. Doakes has a pretty good idea of how Dex likes to spend his free time, and he's determined to catch him in the act. Dex hasn't killed in months and is getting twitchy. To throw Doakes off his scent, he's spending more time with Rita, his girlfriend. But no matter how many cosy nights they spend in front of the TV, Doakes is still watching. Then a body turns up, horribly mutilated and barely alive. To trap the torturer, Doakes and Dexter will have to work together - if they can trust each other. It's a devil's pact, and one of them will have to be the bait.... Members Reviews: Definitely digging Dexter Ever since watching the TV show Iv really wanted to read the books and Iv not been disappointed. Enjoying them so far and will definitely be buying more in the series. If your a fan of the show and haven't read any of the books I highly recommend them Darling dexter Very, very dark & gory. Though Dexter, as always, is a humorous & delightful narrator. Enjoyable & not for the faint hearted xx One of my favourite Authors If you could sum up Dearly Devoted Dexter in three words, what would they be? Disturbingly great story What other book might you compare Dearly Devoted Dexter to, and why? Thomas Harris - Hannibal What does Jeff Lindsay bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you had only read the book? I tend to rush books have them read gives me greater detail Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? Amused Any additional comments? Was not, and probably still not sure about the narration. Usually its one of the important details, other being story. At first I was not sure about an non-professional actor doing the narration. But Jeff grew on me. Yes, he does not have the vocal range of a trained voice but he puts so much humour into the story I will definitely get another of the Books. Second Superlative Serial-killer Jeff Lindsey continues to both write and narrate this episode in the life of Dexter, the serial killer who dislikes the messiness of blood but, ironically . also works for the police in his capacity of a blood splatter analyst. The story is again told from Dexter's point of view as he tries to pursue his own chosen 'hobby' whilst assisting in the tracking of a particularly unpleasant butcher of men. It is a bit gruesome in part but told with such wit and narrated with delicious style so that the whole is a joy to hear. Another highly recommended listen.

Kasch Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 123 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: Malcolm Carter and Ryan Boone, two New York City friends whose lives have been dominated by the financial markets, are about to exchange their charts and reports for guns and survival supplies - but not because they want to. When China and Japan decide it's time to dump US Treasury bonds, an economic nightmare plays out in America. The Federal Reserve watches helplessly as the dollar is decimated, and the resulting food shortage spreads lawlessness across the land like a virus. Malcolm is a successful day trader who always needs to make one more score before he'll listen to Ryan and diversify some of his assets into real estate or gold. He figures an impressively larger bank account might be the only way he can lure his Secret Service agent ex-wife back. Malcolm finally hits it big by aggressively shorting bonds when the market crashes but waits too long to invest in tangibles. All that newfound money suddenly won't buy him a bar of gold, a pint of beer, or a minute of Hannah's attention - especially when she's in the field chasing down a former counterfeiting gang. As luck would have it, Ryan turns out to be a closet doomsday prepper. The two of them attempt to escape the chaotic Big Apple and reach Ryan's land in West Virginia, supplied by only the contents of Ryan's bug-out bag. But it's not going to be an easy journey. Traveling has become difficult and dangerous. Malcolm learns he must redirect the same tenacity that helped him beat the markets toward staying alive on the road...and, hopefully, finding Hannah. Members Reviews: Well worth the time..enjoyable. Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Yes..It's a good story with a believable situation and characters you end up caring about...draws you in. What other book might you compare Buck Out to and why? WANTED by Jason...something... was the best SHTF ( You know what hits the fan ) story I heard before this but it was much darker than this one. Both are good but I would rate this as the better of the two and certainly the best such book I've read..or heard. Have you listened to any of Jim Robertss other performances before? How does this one compare? I don't think so...but will look for him again. Just did his job and did it well... and yes, I am a Patriots fan...living in New Hampshire, what do you expect? :) If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? Buck Out - End or Beginning? Any additional comments? This story was different than most end of civilization novels but in a very good way. It wasn't all doom and gloom, and society doesn't totally crash in one day. In fact, it has a hopeful ending..maybe leading to a squeal, I hope. Best of its type Would you listen to Buck Out again? Why? No..been there, done that. Would read a sequel, if there is one. Who was your favorite character and why? Malcom..reminds me of myself a bit. Which character as performed by Jim Roberts was your favorite? I thought they were all pretty good but I especially liked the minister. Any additional comments? I'd read a lot of these "when the s... hits the fan" type of books. So far, this has been the best. Good plot, good premise and very believable characters. I am retiring soon and may look for a plot of land in the sticks like Malcolm did.

Mia trembles as she reads the letter that arrives from Ridley Prison. Seduction. Bondage ropes. Descriptions of things Mia has never experienced or known. The man's words are desperately passionate. He longs for a woman who must have given him a fake address. Mia's address. She plans to send the letter back. He's a convicted felon. But his words gnaw at her. She's never done anything dangerous. And no man has ever talked to her like this. So Mia writes him, pretending to be the woman he desires. It's her one dark thrill in her dull, solitary small-town life. The man is in prison for another 15 years. It's harmless. She is safe enough...until he escapes. Members Reviews: Love it Where does The Vigilante's Lover: A Romantic Suspense Thriller rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? I really like this story, It has just the right amount of suspense along with the romance and keeps you on the edge of your seat. This is ranked in my top 3 of books listened to so far. Which scene was your favorite? The scene at the end where she is on top of him. Any additional comments? This is a great book, and I can't wait for the next one. Different Not my type of book, but it was well written and very well narrated. I personal prefer a story with an hea. If you go for a fast paced mystery you will love this one. Except for the ending, the book was good. Not a whole book This is a story where a misunderstanding leads a girl to get caught up in an exciting game of cat and mouse. I'm really enjoying the ride but the story abruptly ends in a cliffhanger! You have to buy the next book or you are left hanging! Hooks You! This books hooks you and wont let you go. I read/listened to all 4 books. I couldn't turn it off in the car or put it down once I got home from work. The second it ended I jumped right into the next one! Interesting story but annoying cliffhanger The story and narration are fairly good but the cliffhanger just stops mid story. It's a short novel and truly the three should/could be just one. I hate when authors split up a story like this just to get you to buy three books instead of one or even possibly two but it's not worth three credits with how short they are and definitely not worth 24 bucks to buy outright. Too bad I was interested but not this much

'I'm going to do you a favour: I'm going to tell you my name, and then I'm going to give you 30 seconds to turn and run. If any of you are still here after those thirty seconds, then we're going to have a problem'. Jason Green's life is changed for good after he is saved from a mugging by crime boss Harry Irwell. He is then drawn into Manchester's notorious underworld, where smash and grab is as normal as making a cup of tea. But Jason isn't a casual thug. He has a life plan that doesn't involve blowing his money on the usual trappings. That is until a woman walks into his life offering the one thing that money can't buy - salvation. Members Reviews: So much promise early on, sadly unfulfilled. Any additional comments? Let me begin by saying that I had been looking forward to this latest offering by Wilkinson, having really enjoyed all of the Jessica Daniel series. This book started really well and I was loving it until nearly half way in. Up to that point, I felt it was a 5* read/listen. Unfortunately, the further it went, the more disatisfied I became. I realised that none of the characters had any real depth, including the main protagonist Jason. They were all superficially drawn and I couldn't feel strongly about any of them. Ultimately, it was simplistic and formulaic. The author was once asked in interview how he dealt with periods of writers block. He replied that simply wasn't an issue for him, since writing was his job and he treated it like a job, not getting involved with characters, but just writing a story during his working hours. In my opinion (despite many glowing reviews in Amazon), that really showed here. It had the requisite violence, some quite gruesome, but little that revealed any great attention on the part of the author. There was a particulary sloppy moment when a car was found to have been leaking diesel along the road. It was decided to dispose of the vehicle, so our boy lit a match, tossed it into the fuel and watched as it went up in flames. Since diesel has a much higher flash point than petrol, unless it was on a hot surface, it would not catch fire. There was no reason why the author could not have stated that it was petrol and this illustrates a real lack of attention by him. There was a twist at the end, but it wasn't particularly interesting. So many crime fiction authors write wonderful, rich characters (Elizabeth Haynes, Jane Casey, Robert Galbraith, Linwood Barclay, Harlan Coben etc), that I have no need of lazy fiction such as this. I will be wary of purchasing Wilkinson's books in the future.

Title: Dexter by Design Subtitle: Dexter Book 4 Author: Jeff Lindsay Narrator: Jeff Lindsay Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 4 mins Language: English Release date: 06-25-15 Publisher: Orion Publishing Group Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: Being a blood-spatter analyst who hates the sight of blood has always made Dexter's work for the Miami PD tough. But it means he's very neat when it comes to his out-of-hours hobby: murder. Of course the fact Dexter kills only bad people helps, too. Now Dex is facing a disturbing situation. He's used to blood at work and blood when he's out with the dark passenger (the voice that guides him on his deadly outings). But he's not sure what to make of the man who says blood is art. Using bodies as his canvas, someone is out there expressing himself in the most lethal and painful of ways. If Dexter's to escape the scalpel and avoid becoming the latest exhibit, he needs somewhere to run...and he might just have found the perfect place. With his wedding looming, completing his nice-guy disguise, Dexter's honeymoon might just save his skin. From the most original voice in crime fiction, Dexter by Design is an enthralling, macabre and gruesomely entertaining thriller. Narrated by the author. Members Reviews: Honeymoon Homecoming Horror Dexter is married! After enduring Rita's dream Parisian honeymoon, our hero is home and looking to pursue his homicidal hobby as well as helping his new family to further their own ongoings. But there is another plan afoot and it catches Dexter by surprise; even the dark passenger seems at a loss. Another glorious romp with our blood hating serial killer delightfully read by the author, Jeff Lindsay. The writing is good, the humour bubbles throughout the story but what makes this such an excellent listen is Jeff Lindsay's narration. He really is Dexter with all of his self examinations and expectations. He turns a good READ into a joyously delightful listen. For the book alone, I would not have scored this nearly as well starred, but the narration pushes it easily nto a five star rating Love this series.

The Running Game Audiobook by L E Fitzpatrick

Title: The Running Game Subtitle: Reachers, Book 1 Author: L E Fitzpatrick Narrator: Mil Nicholson Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 17 mins Language: English Release date: 02-06-15 Publisher: L E Fitzpatrick Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: Her father called it the running game. Count the exits, calculate the routes. Always be ready to run because they'll always be coming for you. Whatever happens, they'll always be coming for you. Rachel had let her guard down and they had found her. She could run now, leave the city and try her luck beyond the borders, but with no money and a dark secret to hide her chances of survival are slim. But then she meets two brothers with a dangerous past and secrets of their own. Can they help her turn the game around? Members Reviews: Awesome scene-setting Imagine being part of an elite group of people with special powers. People comment that you have been appointed by God to serve in this capacity. Among other things, you can read peopleâs memories. Unfortunately, this also makes you dangerous to the criminal element and to various shady government agencies. In L.E. Fitzpatrickâs novel The Running Game, Rachel Aaron, a physician in an outskirt of London called Sâaven, is one of these so-called Reachers. Having been raised in a convent, Rachel has lived most of her life on the run from those who want to take her. One of these criminals is Pinky Morris, a thug night club owner who is determined to chase down Rachel. It is never made quite clear what Pinky wants Rachel for. A couple of possible reasons include using her powers for his own gain or revenge (he seems to believe that Rachelâs sister Isobel killed Pinkyâs brother). He contracts the Smith Brothers, John and Charlie. But Charlie is also a Reacher, and amongst themselves, the Reachers have an unbreakable, unspoken bond. Although I thoroughly enjoyed this story, the number of subplots was a bit confusing, and the characters, although well-developed on their own, were a little difficult to keep up with. A subplot involving Charlieâs family was never resolved, which bothered me a little. Readers will absolutely love the Smith brothers: the brooding Charlie and the gruff John who has a big heart. Readers will also get a kick out of Roxy. One of my favorite parts of this book was the scene setting. Ms. Fitzpatrick does an excellent job of ironically depicting Sâaven (short for Safe Haven) as an industrial wasteland overrun by criminal elements. Food and water rationing, substandard housing, mass unemploymentâin one memorable scene, Fitzpatrick describes how workers clamor for the chance to work for a day in one of the many factories. Those who got work got paid but risked life and limb. Those that didnât work were kept out of the hazardous conditions but were often unable to buy food.âand corrupt police all come together to create a truly frightening scene. Overall, I was very impressed with this book and will most definitely be reading the second in the Reachers series, Borders Lines. Suspense-filled, GrippingâRUN! Right from the first chapter, The Running Game got my attention. Though I wasnât running, my breathlessness made onlookers think that I was. I was reading this book while walking on the treadmill surrounded by other gym rats. However, my own forward movement was slow compared to the pace of this intense, suspense-filled novel. Charlie, one of the main characters, is not your typical human being. And I really want to tell you all about him, but youâll love him even more if you come upon what makes him special during your own reading experience. L. E.

When she starts asking questions no one wants answered, she becomes the killer's next target. Still grieving the death of her husband, Anna must draw on her wounded faith to enter a world of wicca and paganism - reminders of a past she buried long ago - and discover the secret of The Witch Tree. Members Reviews: love karins writing, wonderful book What did you love best about The Witch Tree? the way the story played out. What does Becky Doughty bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? i liked her style of reading. she was very expressive in her voice. it really brought the story to life for me. Any additional comments? i really like karins style of writing, she knows how to bring her charactors to life. for me its like seeing the movie play out in my mind, that to me is a great writer. I was told once by my english teacher to write your story so that i can visualize it in my head. that is what karins writing does for me. excellent!!!!!!!!!! Interesting story...bad narration. What made the experience of listening to The Witch Tree the most enjoyable? Unfortunately, I didn't find the listening all that enjoyable. I stuck with it because I liked the story. I didn't feel the narrator was a very good one. Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Becky Doughty? Someone that could make the characters clearer. Half the time, I couldn't tell which character was speaking, not even the difference between the men and women. It can make it a bit hard to follow the story. There was little to no inflection or dramatization of the story, as she read it. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? No. Any additional comments? If I decide to get any more of the Anna Denning novels, I will be buying them to read myself. I just didn't care for Becky Doughty's narration. Suspense! The Witch Tree may be a cozy mystery, and the setting is lovely, but the suspense is intense. When genealogist Anna Denning is drawn into a murder investigation, she realizes she has been enlisted--or used--to uncover something dangerous. She just isn't the kind of woman who would leave an investigation alone when she has the smarts to figure it out, but as she digs deeper the threats against her, her business, and her safety grow more sinister and deadly. Politics, money, and love are all in the mix, but is the real danger be supernatural? The Witch Tree's narrator has a smooth and clear voice, with just enough modulation at times to let you know when the speaker or the scene has changed. It's the kind of reading in which the narrator "disappears," leaving nothing that is too rushed, loud, or strange to distract you from the story itself. Pull you in entertainment! I have had the pleasure of reading/listening to all three of the Anna Denning books and they are all fantastic reads. From the genealogical aspect to the mystery of each they will keep you reading and wanting more. The characters are easy to love and the stories themselves will keep you guessing until the end. Worst narrator ever I really can't tell you if the book is good or not, I could not get past the narration so I gave up. This person talks sooooo slow and without inflection that I could not keep listening.

Bino Audiobook by A. W. Gray

Gray Narrator: Joe Barrett Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 32 mins Language: English Release date: 01-02-14 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 62 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: Bino Phillips, a tough Texan crime lawyer, links the murder of his seedy underworld client to the assassination of one of the most prominent politicians in Texas. As a result, Bino finds himself the most unpopular man in the state, but this does not stop him digging deeper into therotten heart of Texas. His search takes him from the halls of Congress to the arms of a sexy FBI agent to the sleaziest bars in Dallas. Members Reviews: Bino is Sharp and Funny, Buy This Now This is an older series that is brand new new to Audible. What a coup! Bino, short for Albino, is a country lawyer in a big city. He's called Bino because he's a former white forward/center for SMU. He grew up poor, but parlayed his height and hook shot into a law career. He's a Democrat, (I'm not so don't let that sway you), in a Republican world, with a bookie for a P.I. and an ex stripper for an assistant. His law practice delivers non stop laughter while remaining legitimate. This is a great story with great characters and a really good mystery as well. Joe Barrett is wonderful as the narrator. I'm going for the next in line, this one was so good. It appears they released them all at once! Couldn't get into it..Totally MY bad! I usually have excellent results following positive reviews by master reviewer Charles Atkinson...if you don'y follow him,do so. Bino, however, simply didn't appeal to me-I couldn't get into the plot, and though narrator Joe Barrett can normally make a menu sound interesting, I fell asleep during Bino. It's well written..but not my cup of tea. I only lasted thru 2 hours..and am sure it's my problem, not the author or narrator. Read other reviews before you make a decision. Just Like the Good Ol' Days in the Legal Scene Would you consider the audio edition of Bino to be better than the print version? Don't know; haven't read the print version. What was one of the most memorable moments of Bino? The scene when Bino was running down the street covered only in a towel! Have you listened to any of Joe Barretts other performances before? How does this one compare? Yes, have listened to many of his performances in the Brian Freeman books. I really enjoy his voice. He does a great job of bringing the characters to life. This book is no exception! Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? I laughed many times, rooted for the good guys, and felt sad at times. Any additional comments? Another listener recommended this books in a review. I wish I could remember who it was, because I'd like to thank him or her. The first of this series is excellent, and hit home for me, because I live in Dallas and spent my working life employed as a secretary/assistant to lawyers like Bino. It was fun to revisit the 80's Dallas legal scene and recall what times were like in Dallas, especially the singles scene. We did some serious partying back then. My bosses were often passionate about the law, and so was I, though we practiced civil, not criminal law. I thoroughly enjoyed Bino and can't wait to listen to the next book in the series.

Title: Raymond Chandler: The Lady in the Lake (Dramatised) Author: Raymond Chandler Narrator: Toby Stephens, Sam Dale, Barbara Barnes, Steve Toussaint, Bathan Osgood, Claire Harry, Lloyd Thomas, Sean Baker Format: Original Recording Length: 1 hr and 27 mins Language: English Release date: 07-06-11 Publisher: BBC Worldwide Limited Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 46 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: A brand new BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatisation of a classic Raymond Chandler mystery featuring private eye, Philip Marlowe. Derace Kingsleys wife ran away to Mexico to get a quickie divorce and marry a Casanova-wannabe named Chris Lavery. Or so the note she left her husband insisted. Trouble is, when Philip Marlowe asks Lavery about it he denies everything and sends the private investigator packing with a flea lodged firmly in his ear. But when Marlowe next encounters Lavery, hes denying nothing - on account of the two bullet holes in his heart. Now Marlowes on the trail of a killer, who leads him out of smoggy LA all the way to a murky mountain lake... Members Reviews: Far Too Much Content To Condense Into 1.5 Hours Any additional comments? As great as the performance in this radio play was, it just seemed rushed. Almost as if they were struggling to fit in EVERY little detail from the original book into their 1.5 hour time limit. The result comes across as confusing at times due to how quickly paced the story is being presented. Why did they change the story? Is there anything you would change about this book? They needed to make it fit in the time allocated so they butchered the novel. What could Raymond Chandler have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you? What would Raymond Chandler do? Not do this travesty. At least they did not invent another character to conveniently move the plot along quickly this time - they just cut a slew out. Would you listen to another book narrated by the narrators? I listened to a couple of these "dramatized" versions. It is first person narration. Geez, morons one guy doing it all is OK. If he can't do a voice exactly that is OK since it is Marlowe imitating them. Fun, though English dialect is obvious If you could sum up Raymond Chandler: The Lady in the Lake (Dramatised) in three words, what would they be? Slick, cool, moody Have you listened to any of the narratorss other performances before? How does this one compare? Never heard the narrator before, but I get the feeling that he's English, since he does not pronounce American words correctly. For example, the word "idear" for "idea". In America, only certain southerners put the letter "R" at the end of the vowel "A" and it's not nearly as pronounced. Philip Marlowe isn't southern, so this is a grave mistake since it's said over and over and over again. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? There isn't a single moment that moved me since this is noir. I just love the dialogue, music and descriptive writing. This is truly a lot of fun. Other than what I've mentioned, I really enjoyed it. I just wish it were longer. Any additional comments? It's too short. I've not read the paper book, so I can't say that it's similar. It's just that this says it's unabridged and maybe it is. It just doesn't seem like it with only three chapters. Deep and Dark as Lake Michigan This is very dark stuff... but as always, the beautiful dialogue, tense and dense plotting, and fine acting elevate this classic above other so-called 'hard-boiled' thrillers. as always the protagonist is a woman, and what a schemer she is...

Within hours, Rafferty, his wife, Rose, their adopted daughter, Miaow, and Poke's best friend, honest Bangkok cop Arthit, have become disposable pawns in a brutal power struggle among some of Thailand's richest, most ruthless citizens. There are those who would go to any length to ensure the book is never written and others equally desperate to have Pan's darkest secrets exposed. Suddenly, Rafferty is sinking deeper in a perilous sea of treachery and intrigue - and caught up in the inhuman machinations of an Asian baby-selling ring - as he searches frantically for the only chance he may have to get everyone he loves out alive. Critic Reviews: "Cleverly crafted, masterfully written, characters and dialogue rooted in reality, Breathing Water offers fascinating insights into the dark side of crime in another culture. Written with the authority of one who knows life on the hard edge in southeast Asia. Another wonderful read from an author who knows his business." (Steve Martini) Members Reviews: Thai mystery will take your breath away I recently discovered the Poke Rafferty series and have now listened to them all. Excellent and enjoyable series. These books have a lot going for them. tight story, interesting characters lots of local color and a point that the author is making. They are not just mindless excursions. Also, there is great heart quality just below the surface. May be my favorite series followed by Harry Bosch. If you get into them don't miss the Queen of Pat Pong either. So, so good! What did you love best about Breathing Water? As before I love how there is good in all the bad in the world and I can almost taste it in these books about Rafferty, his family and adventures. Although incredible crimes and horrific are committed that make these stories both exciting and sad, there is always good people and resistant. What does Victor Bevine bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Victor Bevine brings live to this story, I could not ask for one better. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? The children. They adapt to life unthinkable living conditions. Any additional comments? Just read/listen to these books. They are very good. Hallinan does it again! What does Victor Bevine bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Victor Bevine is a skillful and nuanced narrator. He channels Hallinan's Bangkok like a native. His characters are brave and subtle and compelling. He can make you laugh out loud or tear you apart with a whisper. Great writing deserves a clear and sympathetic voice. Timothy Hallinan is a National Treasure and Victor Bevine is a loyal guardian of his prose. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? If I were to make a film of the book the tag line might be: "Save your money! Listen to the audiobook!" And that's why I live on the East Coast. Any additional comments? About to download the next in the series. Thank you.

Then her eccentric friend Venice, a complication all by herself, leaks the story to a reporter, and Kate's life turns upside down. The police don't take her seriously, but the murderer does. Kate's distrust of the press causes her to clash with the one person who can help her - the skeptical reporter who got her into trouble in the first place. Now it's up to Kate to find the killer before anyone else dies. This is the first audiobook in the McGuire Women psychic series; each audiobook features a different member of the family. Members Reviews: Thrilling and exciting... What a thrilling and exciting book! It is spooky and eerie and even amazing. This cozy mystery comes complete with unsolved murders and a psychic. This is my first read by this author and I am looking forward to book 2 of this series. The plot is well worth reading and all around enjoyable. The author, Ellis Vidler did a fantastic job on this book! I was thoroughly entertained and listened to this audio book straight thru the entire day today! I just couldn't turn it off, being afraid I would miss something. The narrator, Jodie Bentley does a great delivery of this story to us with many different voices and accents. Lots of fear and emotions in the voices too. I received this audio book as a gift in exchange for my honest and unbiased review. I honestly can't say enough how much I loved this book! Haunting indeed! This was an involving story, and I enjoyed the narration very much. I sometimes had a little trouble telling characters apart but quickly understood as the scene continued. Kate, the main character, is a little annoying in a good way for a character. The way she constantly resists John the love interest made the personal tension interesting as the larger mystery plot unfolded, I liked that. And also Venice (a character in the book) is a hoot. Good writer, good narrator. Glad I gave it a chance. Lovely blend of mystery, paranormal, and suspense! Where does Haunting Refrain rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? Definitely among the top and most entertaining! What was one of the most memorable moments of Haunting Refrain? I love the visions that Kate lived through - very realistic, yet spooky. The element of water/trees was revealed very nicely in the end when the body was found, in a unique and fascinating way. I also loved the scene when she broke into the villain's house, there were some very tense moments! Which character as performed by Jodie Bentley was your favorite? Jodie was outstanding - all of her voices were so unique. I think I particularly loved her Venice voice - that character was written beautifully and she played her well. Kudos to both author and narrator! Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Absolutely! But then again, I wanted to savor it, to make it last. So that made it perfect to listen to on morning walks and driving to and from work. Delightful! Any additional comments? Ms. Vidler is a very talented writer, whose prose flows smoothly and whose dialog feels natural and real.

Geoffrey Cubbin, facing trial for embezzling millions from Trenton's premier assisted-living facility, has mysteriously vanished from the hospital after an emergency appendectomy. Now it's on Stephanie to track down the con man. The problem is, Cubbin has disappeared without a trace, a witness, or his money-hungry wife. Rumours are stirring that he must have had help with the daring escape...or that maybe he never made it out of his room alive. Since the hospital staff's lips seem to be tighter than the security and it's hard for Stephanie to blend in to assisted living, Stephanie's Grandma Mazur goes in undercover. But when a second felon goes missing from the same hospital, Plum is forced into working side by side with Trenton's hottest cop, Joe Morelli, in order to crack the case. The real problem is, no Cubbin means no way to pay the rent. Desperate for money - or maybe just desperate - Plum accepts a secondary job guarding her secretive and mouth-watering mentor Ranger from a deadly special-forces adversary. While Stephanie is notorious for finding trouble, she may have found a little more than she bargained for this time around. Then again - a little food poisoning, some threatening notes, and a bridesmaid's dress with an excess of taffeta never killed anyone...or did it? If Stephanie Plum wants to bring in a pay check, she'll have to remember: no guts, no glory.... Members Reviews: loved it! entertaining! a barrel of laughs shes back with the.humour keep.them coming!!!! on to.the next one Disappointed Would you try another book from Janet Evanovich and/or Lorelei King? I used to love all of Janet Evanovich books. I brought this book expecting to be amused and entertained. It felt to me that it was quickly written for Christmas and I was disappointed!! I think I only laughed once and that is only due to Stephanie once again having her car blown up and this is to be expected in all of the Stephanie Plum books. I found the book so disappointing I'm not sure I will buy another in this series. What do you think your next listen will be? Listening to latest James Patterson book at present. Also listening to the J D Robb series which I find amusing. What character would you cut from Notorious Nineteen? If you cut any of the characters from the book you wouldn't have a book. It was short enough as it was let alone cutting characters. More of the same.. Who cares... As a big Stephanie Plum fan I was pleased when 19 was released, Ok it is pretty much the same as the others, but with such great characters who cares, probably the funniest to date it had me laughing out loud on the train. Janet Evanovich has the uncanny knack of always managing to write "feel good" stuff. If I am feeling lonely, low or generally sorry for myself she never fails to cheer me up. Roll on 20. Really Funny I read the paper version of this book and enjoyed it. The talking book version is hysterical and made me laugh out loud on numerous occasions. I think this is due to the narrator, she is brilliant. She bring the characters to life, my favourite is Lula. I think audible should commission all the earlier Stephanie Plum novels and get Loreli King to read them all, unabridged please.

Ever since her childhood she has loved the Summer House, a charming folly in the grounds of a beautiful and ancient house on Exmoor, and now they have the chance of buying it. But the Summer House provides the key to the strange and tragic secret which has affected Matts whole life. Members Reviews: A Must by Marcia Willett All of Marcia Willetts books are wonderful... Her style reminds me of Rosamonde Pilcher. Always a good story filled with great descriptions of pastoral England, settings are mostly in Cornwall. Anything by her is worth a listen ,some I have listened to more than once. I hope Audible is able to get more of her books,I know they are available in England. Julie Barrie is a great narrator with a British accent that is easy to understand

Suspicion of Betrayal Audiobook by Barbara Parker

Title: Suspicion of Betrayal Subtitle: A Gail Connor and Anthony Quintana Novel Author: Barbara Parker Narrator: Barbara Rosenblat Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 16 mins Language: English Release date: 10-07-11 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 13 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: Best-selling author Barbara Parker has earned her place among the top mystery writers with her trademark blend of suspense, legal procedural, and a touch of romance. Suspicion of Betrayal is a riveting story filled with enough plot twists and shady characters to keep readers puzzled through the conclusion. Miami attorney Gail Connors plate is already full when trouble comes calling. First, there is a menacing phone call, and then doctored photographs arrive that foretell the violent death of Gail and her 10-year-old daughter, Karen. As Gail searches for answers, the problem isnt that there arent any suspects--the problem is that there are plenty. A former prosecutor in Florida, Parker spins a seedy tale and infuses the narrative with a chilling authenticity. Narrator Barbara Rosenblat is the ideal voice for the intelligent and strong-willed Gail. Rosenblat also narrates Parkers Suspicion of Deceit and Suspicion of Guilt. Members Reviews: LOVE, love, Barbara Parker "Suspicion of'' series Where does Suspicion of Betrayal rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? This book was the biggest best seller of Parker's "Suspicion of'' series featuring tempestuous lawyers Gail Connor and Anthony Quintana. It's also one of my favorite audiobooks because of Rosenblat's stellar narration. I bought this audio after already listening to it via the library. I'm just sorry that Audible.com has yet to make avail No. 1 and No. 2 in the series -- Suspicion of Innocence and Suspicion of Guilt. Audible does offer 3, 4, and 5. This book is No. 4. Suspicion of Deceit is No. 3 and Suspicion of Malice is No. 5 -- both avail via Audible.com, and both narrated by Rosenblat. Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How? This book is the most emotional, troubling and frightening of the eight books, and also is terrific. It really mixes the world of law and crazy clients with the changing ethnic world of Miami, and the rocky relationship of these two lawyers -- which reaches its height in this book. The main characters also are flawed, which makes them more human, and the plot more believable. Which scene was your favorite? The scenes with Gail and Anthony are all top-notch, whether they are sparring or making love. Parker wrote fabulous bedroom scenes, which really reflect the tension and passion of the pair, in and out of the courtroom. This book is a thriller, though, not a romance novel -- although sex and passion play a role throughout the series. Any additional comments? I REALLY hope Audible makes No. 1 and No. 2 available -- both also narrated by Rosenblat. The last 3 books (Suspicion of Vengeance, Suspicion of Madness and Suspicion of Rage) were narrated by others and are much less satisfactory. Would be wonderful if Audible re-recorded those books with Rosenblat -- who should have been hired to complete the series to begin with. She particularly does male voices well, especially Anthony. And she is unmatchable as Gail. I am just sorry that Parker died in 2009, since she was a terrific legal/thriller author (she was a lawyer) and likely would have written more books in this series. And I'm surprised I didn't trip on this series until this summer. Audible's available versions are well done. There's just not enough of them. Great emotion, great narration I was new to this series.

Thousands of years ago, the mighty Persian king Xerxes the Great was said to have raided the Treasury at Delphi, carrying away two solid gold pillars as a tribute to his glory. In 1800, while crossing the Pennine Alps, Napoleon Bonaparte and his army stumbled across the pillars. Unable to transport them, Napoleon created an inscrutable map on the labels of twelve bottles of rare wine. When Napoleon died, the bottles disappeared - and the gold pillars were lost once again. Treasure-hunters Sam and Remi Fargo are exploring the Great Pocomoke Swamp in Delaware when they are shocked to discover a German U-boat. Inside, they find a bottle taken from Napoleon's 'lost cellar'. Fascinated, the Fargos set out to find the rest of the collection. But another connoisseur of sorts has been looking for the bottle they've just found. But not for the wine; he wants what the bottle may lead to. For he is Hadeon Bondaruk - a half-Russian, half-Persian millionaire - and he claims descent from King Xerxes himself. And the treasure will be his, no matter what.... Critic Reviews: "No holds barred adventure... a souped-up treat." (Daily Mirror) Members Reviews: Good easy adventure Haven't listened to cussler before just what i was looking for. Will listen to next one. A cross between indiana jones and uncharted on play station Just as good as the Isaac Bell series...! Really enjoyable tale, following the Fargo's on a global hunt for lost Napoleon treasure. I've mainly enjoyed Clive Cussler's work with Isaac Bell, but this is without a doubt a great, action packed adventure, and I'll certainly be listening to more :) History lesson included I like this author and narrator they work well together. Always good to find out a bit about history too an amazing listen loved it i'm going to listen to it again after some others from clive cussler I paid 1.99 for this, I can see why. Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not? Any piece of literature is worthy of time to read or listen to. It is the quality of that time that matters. In consideration, I was not surprised by the content nor the characterisation. This was typical Cussler. A winning recipe for him, and in my younger days I read many of his books, particularly the Dirk Pitt sagas. Uncomplicated. Unbelievable but fun. Sort of James Bond at Sea. This was no different, albeit not at sea. The two principle characters, the Fargo couple dropped one-liners every other sentence, regardless of the perils they faced. So, was it time well spent. Yeah, but I won't visiting Clive's work for a while. If youve listened to books by Clive Cussler and Grant Blackwood before, how does this one compare? Hhhmmmm. How does one bowl of cornflakes compare to another bowl of cornflakes? What three words best describe Scott Bricks voice? Predictable, Untested, Potential If this book were a film would you go see it? No. Why, because it's far too fanciful. What was the last Cussler book to make the big screen? Was it "Raising the Titanic", one his first? Fun books, but require big sets, international filming.

Title: Magic Terror Author: Peter Straub Narrator: Ron McLarty, Beth MacDonald Format: Unabridged Length: 14 hrs and 30 mins Language: English Release date: 08-25-00 Publisher: Random House AudioBooks Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 117 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: "Bunny is Good Bread" takes you into the mind of a small boy trapped in grotesque circumstances to portray the creation of a serial killer in a manner that compels pity, sorrow, comprehension, and grief - as well as judgment. "Hunger and Introduction," narrated by the ghost of a pompous, self-pitying murderer, evokes a profoundly beautiful vision of earthly life, one appreciated far more by the dead than the living. The Award-winning novella "Mr. Clubb and Mr. Cuff," a masterpiece of black comedy, draws upon Melville's "Bartleby the Scrivener" to create a revenge tale in which torture is a moral art and the revenger undergoes a transforming, albeit painful, education. In the words of Mrs. Asch, the visionary narrator of "Ashputtle," "The Main feature of adventure is that it goes forward into unknown country." Straub's devotees will be entranced by what their fearless guide has in store for them. Those as yet uninitiated are in for a harrowing literary journey. Enjoy the ride. Critic Reviews: "When Peter Straub turns on all his jets, no one in the scream factory can equal him." (Stephen King)"This selection is less about magic or gothic terror than about pinching the reader's psychological nerve..." (Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: Had to re-listen twice I am not sure if I was just missing something or if I really did not get it. I did not read the other reviews before I purchased this book and I really wish I had. I had to play it twice to make sure, but the stories did not make since to me and it flowed from one to the next without any closure. I was still on Ms. Ash and next thing I knew I was in Paris with someone else waiting for a connection. Like the other reader stated, don't waste a credit. I call this pretty good There are some pretty excellent stories here. Maybe they aren't everybody's cup of tea, but they are good. Porkpie Hat I call brilliant. Don't buy this expecting 12 page O Henry ironic twisters. These aren't those kind of stories. These stories are longer and darker. They don't necessarily end neatly resolved. More than once I got to the end thinking, "what just happened here?" I savored each story for quite a while after finishing. Magic? Terror? On the whole I enjoyed this book and find myself coming back to a few of the stories again and again (while others I wish I could permanently delete). I find myself scratching my head over the title, while some of the tales definitely had visions of 'terror', there was little 'magic' and a great majority of stories were completely lacking both! My greatest problem was with Audible's lack of effort in separating the download by story. They resorted to throwing in a series of random breaks that succeeded in turning a 'meandering compilation' into a 'labyrinthine compilation'. HUH? I'm not the smartest guy in the world, but I have some intelligence. That being said I found myself wondering what the stories were about. I just didn't get it. Each one seemed to go on forever with no real begining or end. I enjoyed the last story a bit but that was it. Great Stories, Bad Formatting The stories in this book are terrific -- creepy and disturbing.

Kate Rafter is a successful war reporter. She's the strong one. The one who escaped Herne Bay and the memories it holds. Her sister Sally didn't. Instead she drinks. But when their mother dies, Kate is forced to return to the old family home. And on her first night, she is woken by a terrifying scream. What secret has Kate stumbled upon? And is she strong enough to uncover the truth...and make it out alive? Members Reviews: hard going very well narrated, compelling, but unremittingly miserable. Avoid if you are given to bouts of depression!!! A very good and gripping story My initial attraction to this book was because of its setting (I have intimate knowledge of Herne Bay) and I was very curious to find out how well a thriller would work in what I think of as a pleasant but fairly boring seaside town. I have to say I was very impressed by the way the author captured the atmosphere of the place and gave it a very believable sinister edge. OK - some liberties were taken with some of the minor facts about the geography but there was perfect logic in setting this story in a location like Herne Bay where nobody expects really dreadful things to happen. The underlying themes of war, PTSD, child abuse and false memories were intelligently explored and I was genuinely gripped throughout the tale. The structure of the story (including an interrogation of the main character by a psychologist) kept me intrigued and this was one of the few books of this type where I felt there was a plausible plot. The narrators were very good and added character to the voices of the two female protagonists. My only quibble (and not enough for this to lose a star) is that the reading was quite slow and this was remedied by me changing the setting to 1.25. I recommend this highly and will look out for more books by this author. Is better in x1.5 speed I nearly gave up on the book as I found the narration very melodramatic and needlessly slow with too many dramatic pauses. It actually ruined the main character for me. But then I decided to to play with the speed of the book reading (wanting to power through it faster) and found that playing it x1.5 cut out most of the melodrama and you got to enjoy the story. very good read! I thoroughly enjoyed this book and would definitely recommend it. I thought the narrator was ok. WOW !!!! I never write reviews but this book is fantastic, twisty turns and keeps you guessing right to the end, I mogen Church is one of the best narrators going and the other narrator is close on her heels. Amazing !!!

And why does Sam have the eerie feeling that she too is being watched? When Sam finally discovers the truth, it will draw her into a dangerous world of darkness and deception.... Members Reviews: Great book Really enjoyed this book great characters tense and humorous Scarlett Mack brought the story to life Like a children's story for adults Would you try another book written by Clare Carson or narrated by Scarlett Mack? Probably not What was most disappointing about Clare Carsons story? The characters are just too unbelievable. Too much of ' the heroine enters the deserted house when we all know it's stupid and dangerous'. It takes far too long to get to the point of the story. I gave up on first listen - went back later and listen to the end but it didn't get any better. Ponderous and boring in the first half, third rate thriller stuff in the second. What three words best describe Scarlett Macks performance? Ponderous, lacking animation If this book were a film would you go see it? NO! Any additional comments? This is supposed to be based on the writer's life but like most people's lives it's just ordinary and not very interesting.

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 30 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: Trapped on a burning mountain, the Queens take refuge with a killer. Dashing detective Ellery Queen and his father are driving over the pothole-scarred Arrow Mountain Road when they come face to face with a wall of flame. They tear back in the other direction, fire at their fenders, and finally find safety in a clearing, at the home of Dr. Xavier, a renowned surgeon. He is a genial man, but his distracted, mysterious smile conceals dark secrets. Passing through one of the drafty hallways, Ellery's father is startled by a pair of eyes burning in the darkness - the eyes of a monster. Could they be trapped on some kind of mountain of Dr. Moreau? Dr. Xavier introduces them to the rest of his household, including his wife, brother, and medical assistant. Everyone's welcoming, but they also seem anxious and cagey. When the good doctor is found shot to death in his study, Queen realizes that he and his father have more to fear than a pair of sinister eyes. The Queens might have escaped the forest fire, but they have leapt into a situation that's every bit as hot. Members Reviews: Classic Ellery Queen Would you listen to The Siamese Twin Mystery again? Why? This is my third time through the Siamese Twin Mystery. It seems to keep getting better with each read/listen as I see the plot and solution from new perspectives. What did you like best about this story? I really like the menagerie of characters portrayed and the Dr. Moreau feel to the entire story. What about Fred Sullivans performance did you like? Fred Sullivan does a great job with Ellery Queen, Detective Queen and the rest of the cast. A murder during a forest fire... Ellery and his father are trapped at the summit of Arrow Mountain, as a fire rages below them. There's only one house where they can seek refuge, a mansion owned by the very strange Dr. Xavier. The staff and guests are equally strange. And, of course, one of them gets murdered. Ellery races to solve the mystery...although, as the fire creeps nearer and nearer, he has to wonder if it's really worth the trouble. An interesting case, with plenty of the Queen tricks (false solution, dying clues, etc)...one of Ellery's theories is so laughable it's hard to believe he seriously considered it. Still not a fan of Sullivan's narration, although he's less whiny here than previously.

It's in the news every day. Where do they go? What happens to them? Who has taken them? While covering a story for his tabloid newspaper, reporter Bentley Noble accidentally stumbles onto something else entirely...a story about something so unspeakable, he doesn't know if anyone will believe it...a story that pulls him down into the depths of evil and depravity and threatens his very life. With the help of a best-selling true-crime writer, Noble descends into the dark world of human trafficking, where fear and pain are tools of control and innocence is sold to the highest bidder. As a handful of good and decent people try to combat a monstrously powerful and all too real evil, some lives will be shattered, others will be ended...but none will be the same. Members Reviews: Disappointed Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not? I would recommend this book in written form and not the narrated format as it is here. Seth Michael Donsky is the worst narrator I have ever cone across. He makes the characters sound like backwood idiots or B movie actors. The actual book is very good, however, the narrating really detracts from the overall enjoyment of this book. I will not buy another book narrated by Mr. Donsky. Would you be willing to try another one of Seth Michael Donskys performances? Not ever.!. The narrator absolutely ruins this book The subject matter in this book is gruesome, and although the introduction seemed to treat it with the seriousness it deserves, the narrator did not. He made a parody of many of the major characters- giving them voices that sounded as if some gross jerk was doing stand-up in a seedy bar. The geeky teen computer genius sounded as if he was dull, high, and sucking on marbles. The worst is the preacher, who slowly enunciates at all times as if he is a comedian mocking the delivery of a sermon to a very slow audience in a tent revival- even during those scenes I'm sure the author intended to be thrilling, and fast paced. I actually laughed out loud, which is a reaction I'm sure the author never intended. His rendition of characters who are supposed to be expressing really intense emotions during some really extreme situations renders this a grisly comedy. Although the ending is a little clunky, regardless of the narration; my advice is read the book- because without the comedic rendition, it's a good story. great story, horrible narrator! Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? I think I might recommend this book to a friend, but I would say that you can only enjoy it if you can get past the narration. If you can get past the cartoonish characterizations. Every character sounds russian, or sort of british. The laughs are all the same for every character, sort of maniacal! Would you be willing to try another one of Seth Michael Donskys performances? Only if it had another narrator. Pretty good story - awful narration Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not? I would recommend reading the book. The horrible narration was so distracting it was hard to really get into the story. Dark and disturbing story with sub par narration. This one is about as brutal as it gets. Every bad thing that could possibly happen, happens. In spades. Yep, this baby has it all. Clocking in at over 24-1/2 fricking hours, the narration was not very good and that was a big problem for me.

Thorndecker is secretly breaking every law of God and man - and faces an ultimate decision. Lawrence Sanders at his suspenseful best. Members Reviews: Disappointing I have been a fan of Mr. Sanders for a long time but that has ended with this book. It didnât seem like Mr. Sanders wrote the book. If his writing was always like this I wouldnât have been a fan. I was thoroughly put off by the many witticisms and drinking. Seems like the entire book revolved around those 2 things. When he took Betty to bed, that was the final straw. I can understand a moderate amount of drinking but it was way too excessive. More time was spent on either drinking or being witty than on the story. I love mysteries and that might have been what he intended but he fell way too short. Pedestrian with Sanders' Wit Still Working I like Sanders' writing, especially in his "Deadly Sin" series. The Sixth Commandment is a slower moving narrative of a grant giving agency inspector who visits a scientist conducting medical experiments in a backwoods town. It is an interesting story, but the content is outdated in a way that makes its bit of history uninteresting. Sanders seemed to be walking slowly through this one and the reader must tag along somewhat unwillingly. This is Lawarence Sanders? I am half way through this book. Switched to another. While the text is ok to read, I think the author is taking too long to develoup the story. I have been an avid fan of Lawrence Sanders in the past. Captivated by 1st deadly, second deadly, ect. This book is not holding my attention anywhere near the previous stories. Unusual Book I initially had a hard time getting into this book, but by the next chapter I was hooked. The ending didn't trill me though. I thought more could have been done legally. I did really like what the main character learned about himself. The last 2 pages were great. Warm and interesting book. Many years ago I read the books by this author. It was fun to find and read one that I hadn't read before. I inadvertently learned some Jewish history and customs which I found fascinating. The story was interesting and kept me engaged, and I hadn't guessed who-done-it! A good read.

Meanwhile, across town, Hitch smells a rat, maybe two, in the nursing home where an old friend of his has taken up residence. With his matchless wit and uncommon ability to dig out the truth, Hitch is once again up to his old tricks...and mystery listeners couldn't be happier. Critic Reviews: "Cockey keeps the pace fast, the plot twisted and the laughs plentiful - as always, he does not disappoint." (Publishers Weekly) "Great entertainment for fans of comic crime capers." (Booklist) "A winning series." (Seattle Post-Intelligencer) Members Reviews: Thank you Mr Cockey What a delight! A first rate "Who done it?"! Tim Cockey has created a tale with mystery, intrigue and humor. His first person depiction of the adventures of Hitchcock Sewell, the undertaker hero of this story, is fast paced, liberally scattered with clues (and a few red herrings) and is always engaging and fun. As we all know, the quality of the narration is critical to the enjoyment of any audio book. Patrick Girard Lawlor's reading fully compliments the story, drawing the listener into the situation whilst never overwhelming it. One can only hope Audible will offer more books from this series. I for one will not hesitate to add them to my wish list.

Title: The Mineral Palace Author: Heidi Julavits Narrator: Susan Ericksen Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 9 mins Language: English Release date: 10-17-08 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: In the drought-ridden spring of 1934, Bena Jonnsen, her husband Ted, and their newborn baby relocate from their home in Minnesota to Pueblo, a Western plains town plagued by suffocating dust storms and equally suffocating social structures. Little can thrive in this bleak environment, neither Bena and Ted's marriage nor the baby, whom Bena believes - despite her husband's constant assurances - is slipping away from her. To distract herself from worrying, Bena accepts a part-time position at Pueblo's daily newspaper, The Chieftain, reporting on the "good works' of the town's elite Ladies' Club leaders, women such as Reimer Lee Jackson and her plans to restore the town's crumbling monument tot he mining industry - the Mineral Palace - to its turn-of-the-century grandeur. Bena is drawn to the Mineral Palace and to the lurid hallways of Pueblo's brothel, befriending a prostitute, Maude, and Red, a reticent cowpoke. Through these new emotional entanglements, Bena slowly exposes not only the sexual corruption on which the entire town is founded, but also the lies enclosing her own marriage and the sanctity of motherhood. She returns again and again to the decaying architecture of the Mineral Palace; within its eroding walls she is forced to confront her most terrifying secret, which becomes her only means for salvation. With her gritty and magical prose, Heidi Julavits elegantly examines the darker side of paternity and maternity, as well as the intersection of parental love and merciful destruction. The Mineral Palace is a startling and authentic story of survival in a world of decadence and depravity. Members Reviews: Missing her trademark Julavits is certainly an unusual author. She's not the best at making believable, relatable characters, and she doesn't quite succeed in pulling the reader in to the story -- usually you feel more like a disjointed spectator. However, she does a fabulous job of playing these little mind games with you that make you question your own reality, question people's motives, and ultimately makes the book almost an interactive experience to the text because your interpretation of events affects the story that takes place. She did an excellent job of this in The Effect Of Living Backwards, and a decent job in The Uses of Enchantment. Unfortunately, this book contained the shortcomings of her writing without the strengths. You still feel a lack of empathy for the characters and a disjointedness from the setting, but the story is missing her trademark psychological elements. I guess it didn't become her trademark until later. A Stone's Throw Everything worthy of a wonderful story was available for the author. Unfortunately, it just was not pieced skillfully together. Bena Jonssen is an accomplished young mother married to a doctor. Unfortunately, she is presented with some worthy obstacles that are formidable for the time. Her husband, a boozing, skirt-chasing doctor is no support when they move their obviously physically and mentally handicapped infant son to her husband's new job in Pueblo, Colorado in 1934.

Faithful Addiction Audiobook by Kennedy Layne

Title: Faithful Addiction Author: Kennedy Layne Narrator: Basil Sands Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 32 mins Language: English Release date: 12-07-17 Publisher: Audible Studios Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: USA Today best-selling author Kennedy Layne follows up her latest romantic suspense novel with a romantic thriller that will have you leaving the lights on at bedtime.... Former marine Royce Haverton had needed a break from the bloodshed he'd witnessed time and again during his last combat tour. He'd fulfilled his contract to the corps, and it was now time to move on. Little did he know the job he'd just accepted would lead him down the same violent path as before. Cailyn Geneva had spent the last three months recovering from a brutal hit-and-run her family swore was intentional. Another vicious attempt on her life proves their suspicions to be true, and her brother takes matters into his own hands by hiring a security firm to look after her. She agrees to do whatever it takes to stay alive...even if that means facing her past mistakes. Royce doesn't like surprises, so walking into the office to find an old family friend desperate for a favor certainly doesn't make his morning. Neither does discovering a cold-blooded murderer is after the one woman who had once meant everything to him. Will they be given the time to explore the still smoldering desire that lies beneath the surface before a ruthless killer tries to finish what he started? Series description: Safeguard Security & Investigations (SSI) is owned and operated by Townes Calvert, a retired marine gunnery sergeant who returned home to the States a bit more damaged than he'd care to admit. Not that anyone could tell outside of a very select group of former active duty buddies. It took Townes quite a while to acclimate to civilian life, and he kept himself busy in the interim working in treacherous situations with even more dangerous friends. The final result is a close-knit unit of highly trained former military men who have the experience to protect the innocent, investigate crimes on the gritty edge, and aid local law enforcement when justice has taken a back seat to political correctness. Follow along as Kennedy Layne conveys each of their gripping stories as they work together on investigations that lead them down perilous paths of passion, intrigue, and suspense.... Members Reviews: Addicted to Kennedy's books Beautifully descriptive. Wonderfully suspenseful. Great characters. Second chance at love. I didn't think the author could write another series as good as her CSI series, I was so wrong. The guys of SSI are engaging, alpha and damn good at their jobs. Leading the guys is the secretive and enigmatic Townes Calvert who has brought together a team of the best. Book two of my new favorite Kennedy Lane series has his operative Royce Haverton on personal detail while his partners investigate the murder attempts on Cailyn Geneva. Cailyn is writing a human interest story on the murdered sister of a convicted serial killer who was charged with her murder and executed. In the background the threat of an active serial killer ups the ante on Townes secretive past. A real blast from the past for Royce has him questioning the last 12 years and Cailyn in a tailspin. I was able to connect with the characters and the secondary characters held up well. Wonderful Can you go back years and rekindle a love you thought you lost - Royce is assigned to protect Cailyn when they find out that neither one has stopped loving the other - lots of twist and turns in this one and a shocking suspect Lots of twist in turns through out Calvert who is a retired U.S.

Jefferson Farjeon Narrator: David John Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 22 mins Language: English Release date: 08-11-16 Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers Limited Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: Ben the tramp's uncanny knack of running into trouble is unsurpassed in the final crime thriller written for him by J. Jefferson Farjeon. On a grey afternoon he was destined never to forget, Ben sat down on a park seat and proceeded to think, not of cabbages and kings but of numbers, lucky and unlucky. But it wasn't Ben's lucky day, or that of the nondescript-looking stranger sitting at the other end of the bench - murdered before his very eyes! That was the prelude to the most uncomfortable and eventful 24 hours Ben had ever spent in an uncomfortable and eventful life. J. Jefferson Farjeon's famous Cockney character, Ben, who first appeared in No. 17 and six other novels, was never so richly humorous or so absurdly heroic as in this, his last hair-raising adventure taking place at No. 19 Billiter Road. Critic Reviews: "Few authors of detective stories are so persuasive as Mr Farjeon." (Times Literary Supplement) "Mr Farjeon discovered some time ago a good recipe for an entertaining story by mixing humour with thrills." (Daily Telegraph) "Mr Farjeon always interests as well as thrills his readers." (Queen) "A very efficient narrator of thrillers." (News Chronicle)

Ben encounters a dead man on a London bridge and is promptly rescued from the same fate by a posh lady in a limousine. But like most posh ladies of Ben's acquaintance, this one isn't what she seems. Seeking escape from a gang of international conspirators, Ben is whisked off to the mountains of Scotland to thwart the schemes of a poisonous organisation and finds himself in very unfamiliar territory. With its startling prelude, Detective Ben is a glorious adventure, told with the unsurpassed mixture of humour and creepy thrills that made J. Jefferson Farjeon famous and Ben the tramp one of the best-loved characters of the Golden Age. Critic Reviews: "Jefferson Farjeon is a master of the particular art of blending horrors with humour." (Sunday Times) "Ben is a sheer joy." (Glasgow Herald)

For the Manchester Metropolitan police team its the start of a gruelling and complex case that exposes the fractures and fault lines of a community living on the edge. DC Rachel Bailey, recently married, is trying to come to terms with her new status and deal with the fallout from her chaotic family. She throws herself into work but her compulsion to find answers and see justice done leads her into the deepest jeopardy. DC Janet Scott's world is shaken to its foundations when death comes far too close for comfort and she finds one of her daughters on the wrong side of a police investigation. DCI Gill Murrays ex Dave, a Chief Superintendent, crashes back into her life, out of control and bringing chaos in his wake. Gill attempts to get Dave to face the truth of his situation, and to stay the hell away from her, but things are about to get a whole lot worse. And then a second building goes up in flames. Members Reviews: Wonderful listen... Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Yes. The book is well-written, the characters well-drawn and the narration brings it all to life. What did you like best about this story? I appreciate how the three protagonists are developed both in terms of their professional work as investigators and their personal lives. Of course the two threads intersect at times making the narrative flow that much more intriguing. What about Julia Barries performance did you like? Oh, where to begin. Listening to her I felt as though I was watching a film, seeing and hearing each of the characters come to life, even the most minor ones. Her narration is remarkable. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Sure, if I had the time. I didn't want it to end. Intriguing Good insight into the hearts & home lives of truly dedicated police officers, as well as the empathy they feel but cannot show the perpetrators they deal with. Lived up to expectations. Couldn't stop listening. Love the way Cath intertwines the personal lives of the women with their professional live.

Cooley Narrator: Marguerite Gavin Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 1 min Language: English Release date: 07-22-14 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 88 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: A small-town cop's murder investigation turns deadly when she uncovers a web of politics and drugs linked to an outlaw motorcycle gang in this gripping debut suspense audiobook for fans of Winter's Bone, Frozen River, Breaking Bad,and Sons of Anarchy. As a cop on the night shift in Hopewell Falls, New York, June Lyons drives drunks home and picks up the donuts. A former FBI agent, she ditched the bureau when her husband died, and now she and her young daughter are back in upstate New York, living with her father, the town's retired chief of police. When June discovers a young woman's body impaled on an ice shear in the frozen Mohawk River, news of the murder spreads fast; the dead girl was the daughter of a powerful local congresswoman, and her troubled youth kept the gossips busy. Though June was born and raised in Hopewell Falls, the local police see her as an interloper - a resentment that explodes in anger when the FBI arrive and deputize her to work on the murder investigation. But June may not find allies among the feds. The agent heading the case is someone from her past - someone she isn't sure she can trust. As June digs deeper, an already fraught case turns red-hot when it leads to a notorious biker gang, a meth lab hidden in plain sight - and an unmistakable sign that the river murder won't be the last. Members Reviews: Interesting characters, strong plot, good writing Where does Ice Shear rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? A totally absorbing story; I listened compulsively. After my long commute, I sat in the driveway listening...and then broke out the headphones to listen more indoors. There is a wide range of interesting, layered characters. The main character, June, is especially compelling: she's a former FBI agent turned small-town cop, a mom and a grieving widow, with good insight and a wry wit. The plot was complex and interesting--it kept me guessing not only about 'who dunnit' but also about how June would overcome the obstacles in her way . I also appreciated the many witty/humorous lines and well-turned phrases throughout the book. What other book might you compare Ice Shear to and why? It reminded me of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo: both books have lots of interesting characters, and a complex plot that made me want to keep reading the next chapter. Which character as performed by Marguerite Gavin was your favorite? The narrator does an impressive job with the wide range of characters in the book; each character was distinctive. I thought her voicing of the suspect Marty was especially good. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Absolutely! Any additional comments? Great read! Good Story kept me listening I did enjoy the story line and Marguerite Gavin is one of my favorite narrators. I do hope there will be more than 2 books in the series.

(Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: Super supernatural thriller Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? If it was a friend that liked supernatural thrillers. What does Scott Brick bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Scott Brick as always is fantastic.

Hunted by both sides, fighting for her life, Tess races toward the dark heart of a secret that will rock the world. Critic Reviews: "Reader David Regal's basso profundo engages both emotionally and intellectually as he ably portrays both male and female characters. Highlights include extraordinary action scenes set in New York, Washington, and ancient European caverns." (AudioFile) Members Reviews: Bad narrator Terrible, just terrible narration. I made it through 30 minutes. I wish we could get refunds... good story great book Was a good book and was a great story to hear terrific narration on this book. Most stilted dialogue I have ever heard Would you try another book from David Morrell and/or David Regal? While the book had an interesting premise, I had extreme difficulty getting past the stilted dialogue. Does the author think anyone really speaks this way? I think the narrator did what he could with the dialogue, but couldn't overcome the starched language. I would not order another book by Morrell.

If they're lucky, I only have to rough them up. It's rare they're lucky. I know I work for a tyrant. Anyone who has the misfortune of getting on George Lynch's bad side should know their days are numbered. I'm the gun in his holster, the one he draws to take care of 'problems'. The one he uses so he doesn't have to get his hands dirty. George saved me from a life of crime that would have landed me in jail. Now I commit even worse crimes that would earn me the death penalty if I ever got caught. George has me under his thumb. I guess we're both lucky that I never get tired of killing. That's why I don't understand why he assigned me this little project. Kidnap a girl and keep her locked away in one of his houses with all the creature comforts like some pampered pet. The job was supposed to be easy. Kendall was supposed to be a submissive little mouse. I thought she would obey my every command. I was wrong. Now I'm caught up in something that could cost me everything. Having to choose between love and my very life. Is it even worth it? Because who could ever love a beast? This is a standalone story with no cheating and a happily ever after ending. Members Reviews: Captivating from the Start Powerful. A complex story, this isn't something everyone will understand, but the author does a great job of giving us insight into why Beast and Kendall do what they do. This book is so much more than a twist on Beauty and the Beast. It breaks everything apart and create something both dark and beautiful. Kendall and Beast have this magnetic heat and chemistry, plus a devotion that is so deep. The tension remained high throughout, and I certainly couldn't wait to continue. The writing is well done, characterization is excellent, and I recommend grabbing this audiobook. Why are bad boys so hot? Kendall is a fantastic character, put in a situation where most people would crumble instead she stands up for herself and refuses to be dictated to. It creates some interesting situations. Beast is a very bad boy, an assassin for the last 10 years he's not the sort of person you want to end up in contact with. Yet he has distinct morals which seems like it should be a contradiction and yet it works. The story line is interesting, the chemistry is there and it's a quick listen. In fact the only thing I'd change is the length, I'd have liked it if it was longer. The narration is well done, good character voices and a nice natural delivery. I received a free copy of this book from the author and/or narrator and/or publisher in exchange for an honest review. If you found this review helpful would you please take a moment to click yes below. Loved the narrator! I love when male narrators have a growl in their voice. Narration for all characters were amazing and I enjoyed the story. I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher. Beasty... This was a shorter read. That is not a bad thing, just doesn't give us as much time to get invested as a longer read. Story was good- Narration was good :) This is a standalone book.

That is, until she learns it must be on Valentine's Day - just nine days away. Oh yeah, and one other little hitch - the groom disappeared at sea a week earlier. But the bride's convinced he'll be found safe and sound, so she's got a plan - and a man - to do a proxy ceremony if necessary. The day before the big nuptials a man's body washes ashore on a South Maui beach. Has the groom finally shown up? If so, what's it going to be - a wedding...or a funeral? This is the first book in the Islands of Aloha Mystery series. This is a cozy mystery, which means no graphic sex or violence and very little "bad" language. It's set in Hawaii, and the main character is a local girl, mid-30s. This is the first book in an eight-part series, and I'd like the voice actor to be willing to commit to all eight projects. Members Reviews: Good, but not exactly my style The premise & basic story line of this book were good, but I struggled with a couple of things. One was that the main character didn't really get involved in the actual mystery or show any leaning toward sleuthing until near the end of the book. The main thing for me though was that I didn't feel any real connection to the characters. They felt only partially developed to me & I didn't have much in common with any of them, so it just didn't click for me. This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review. Head to Maui! Where does Maui Widow Waltz rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? This book was easy to listen to and held my attention. The narrator was great so this book ranks as one of my favorites that I will go back and listen to again. What was one of the most memorable moments of Maui Widow Waltz? The puppies and Sir Lipton will not soon be forgotten. Which character as performed by Rebekah Amber Clark was your favorite? My favorite character was Farrah. I just loved her. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? When Farrah gave Hatch the little puppy. Any additional comments? This was so much fun to listen to and I will be looking for the next title in this series to delve into. I loved it.

In rushing to join him, the Fargos are thrown into their most daring quest to date. The clues point to the hidden tomb of Attila the Hun, the High King who was reportedly buried with a vast fortune of gold and jewels and plunder, a bounty that has never been found. But as Sam and Remi piece together the puzzle, the trail takes them not to a single tomb but five. And into the path of deadly danger. They are not the only ones hunting for the High King's riches. The Fargos find themselves pitted against enemies who will stop at nothing to claim the tombs' riches as their own. Members Reviews: The Tombs - A great adventure Any additional comments? Another great adventure with the Fargo couple, this time on the trail of treasure hidden by Attila The Hun. Once again the race is on to stop the treasure falling into the wrong hands, and the adventure takes the Fargo's globetrotting in order to try and figure out the clues which lead to the treasure. A mix of Dan Brown intrigue, coupled with Indiana Jones - type adventure.

Title: Man in the Middle Author: Ken Morris Narrator: Tim Danko Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 56 mins Language: English Release date: 04-08-15 Publisher: Bancroft Press Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: A natural contender for trading stardom, 28-year-old Peter Neil buys into the game of wealth-creation with such unbridled enthusiasm that he nearly gets sucked into the patent amorality of one of the world's most successful hedge funds. He's well on the way to becoming a Wall Street legend, but he has more obstacles than he's bargained for - a simmering romance, a persistent SEC agent, a long-buried secret, and a deep-rooted conscience. Together, these hurdles conspire not just to derail Neil's ambition, but to place his life, and the lives of those he cares about, in mortal danger. Neil is faced with a seemingly insurmountable task: how, as one reviewer puts it, to survive his "trek through the piranha-inhabited waters of high finance". The object of this game is no longer to come out on top - it's to come out alive. Reviewers call Man in the Middle "an insider's foray into the cutthroat, rip-your-face-off culture of big-time global trading and corporate misconduct", "offering up a smorgasbord of insider trading, murder, and protection money". Ken Morris, whom the London Times dubbed a "Wall Street trading legend" and a "big-time master of the Street", is that insider, acting as tour guide through the treacherous trails of the financial jungle. Nearly 20 years at the top of the world's financial markets have made Morris an expert among experts, with a unique, finely-honed flair for storytelling. He's destined to become one of the day's foremost thriller writers - an "early John Grisham - at his best - with the investment world instead of law as the backdrop". No other novel to date has successfully placed the listener so far inside the inner workings of today's capital markets - or made it so understandable and gripping. Members Reviews: Great Financial Novel As an investment banker I enjoy reading novels built around finance intrigue vs. lawyers, doctors or policemen. This is a very good book of a recent college grad who after the death of his mother is given an opportunity to be a hedge fund trader. In a year he goes from not wanting the job to being one of the top traders and all the internal office politics that develop. But this is no ordinary job and he wasn't recruited based upon his intelligence. The novel starts with two deaths of people who do business with the hedge fund as well as the death of his mother. Morris weaves many different plot lines like the death of his mother, his family life and a relationship with the attorney of the hedge fund, his love life involving the daughter of the attorney, and his conflicted views of wealth. Overlapping these story lines is a great "whodunit" as the new trader fights to learn a business and duck clues that may involve him in an elaborate scheme. I strongly recommend this book for anyone interested in a good murder mystery built around a financial world background. Satisfying tale of greed, power and vengeance Well written smoothly moving story of an ordinary guy who cleverly outwits Wall Street villains. It has a great line, when the hero tells his girlfriend "the heart is the last to learn".

Six years of hiding a broken heart by throwing himself into his career as a college professor. Six years of keeping his promise to leave Natalie alone, and six years of tortured dreams of her life with her new husband, Todd. But six years haven't come close to extinguishing his feelings, and when Jake comes across Todd's obituary, he can't keep himself away from the funeral. There he gets the glimpse of Todd's wife he's hoping for...but she is not Natalie. Whoever the mourning widow is, she's been married to Todd for more than a decade, and with that fact everything Jake thought he knew about the best time of his life - a time he has never gotten over - is turned completely inside out. As Jake searches for the truth, his picture-perfect memories of Natalie begin to unravel. Mutual friends of the couple either can't be found or don't remember Jake. No one has seen Natalie in years. Jake's search for the woman who broke his heart - and who lied to him - soon puts his very life at risk as it dawns on him that the man he has become may be based on carefully constructed fiction. Kerry Shales stage credits include His Girl Friday (National Theatre) and Frost/Nixon (West End). TV credits include Dr Who and Lifes Too Short. Recent films include A Fantastic Fear of Everything. He has won three Sony Radio Awards, the APA Award for Best Male Audio Book Reader (UK) and the Audie Award for Best Male Audio Book Reader (USA).

Members Reviews: disappointing Would you try another book from Harlan Coben and/or Kerry Shale? no What could Harlan Coben have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you? written a better plot How could the performance have been better? not sure You didnt love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities? not really Any additional comments? plot was banal, so stupid and predictable, hated myself for wasting the time taken to listen ! Classic Coben Excellent thriller away from the Bolitar series which are also great but slightly more predictable. Like most of his one off's, 6 years is a great mystery that slowly unfolds chapter by chapter. Unputdownble Holiday Listen! Enjoyed this, and it was about the right length as I wouldn't have wanted it to go on for too much longer, its got a good pace the only thing I didn't like is that it reminded me of Tell No One in places. Good listen for a commute or a holiday! A gripping read Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? I would recommend this book to a friend as it exciting and engaging with lots of twists and turns along the way. What other book might you compare Six Years to, and why? I'm a fan of Harlan Coben, this doesn't fail to impress like his other mystery thrillers. Which scene did you most enjoy? The ending is just fantastic! Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? I don't think that I've ever gotten through an audiobook so fast. Any additional comments? I'm keen to download Coben's other books that I've not yet read. Gripping. Vintage Coben I listened to the whole book in just a couple of days. It is another page-turner. Some of the themes and plot lines will be familiar to Coben fans ....

Title: Riders Down Author: John McEvoy Narrator: Tom Weiner Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 9 mins Language: English Release date: 10-10-12 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: No one really notices that a certain horse race might have been fixed until Matt OConnor, a Chicago-based columnist for a national racing newspaper, gets a call from Moe Kellman, a horse-owning acquaintance. Kellmans question for Matt: Was the death of 92-year-old Bernard Glockner, Chicagos oldest active bookie, suicide or murder? Glockner was Kellmans late uncle, and Kellman, a man familiar with the Chicago mob, wants Matt to check it out. Matt quickly comes to believe that the fate of the bookmaker is tied to a series of races whose outcomes have been manipulated. His quest is aided by horse trainer Maggie Collins and Dave Zimmer, a professional gambler known as the Fount for his reputation as an encyclopedic source of information. Eventually, going as far afield as Las Vegas, they focus their sights on a brilliant sociopath. But why would this psycho have plotted a race-fixing scheme? Spiced with lively language from the world of horse racing, Riders Down offers striking insights into that world and the possibilities of its corruption. John McEvoy, former journalist for the Daily Racing Form, is the author of several nonfiction books on Thoroughbred horse racing and mystery novels set in the world of horse racing. Critic Reviews: McEvoy has created a winning protagonist in Chicago turf writer Matt OConnor, who has an abundance of friends in mostly low places and his finger firmly on the pulse of the national horse racing sceneMcEvoy, who was himself a correspondent for theDaily Racing Formfor many years, is dead-on in his descriptions and accounts of Thoroughbred racing. He also gives us characters we can care about and suspense enough to make the blood race like a stakes-winning sprinter. Thats all we ask of a racetrack thriller, and McEvoy delivers." (Booklist) Horse racing has always attracted a wide range of colorful characters, and McEvoy portrays them all with an obvious affection and a sharp eye, from jockeys, trainers, and touts to fans, newsmen, and suckers. OConnor has few illusions about the sport, but even he is unprepared for the kind of peril unleashed by his probing a race-fixing scamOConnor is a natural with all the makings of a series hero. He combines charm, racing expertise, and a willingness to go the distance that will carry the reader all the way to the finish line. (Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: New Series - great start This book, part 2 of a series I believe, is full of fascinating characters from the world of gambling and horse racing. A very clever plot and keeps the pages turning fast. Love the "little furrier"

The Judas Gate Audiobook by Jack Higgins

Title: The Judas Gate Author: Jack Higgins Narrator: Simon Vance Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 46 mins Language: English Release date: 01-04-11 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 103 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: Treachery has a price, in the mesmerizing new thriller from the New York Timesbest-selling writer. With his latest novels, Jack Higgins has showed himself on top of his game (Publishers Weekly), his books infused with a timely edginess [that] pulls you along like the surprisingly strong current of the Thames River (Associated Press). The Judas Gate is just as timely and just as surprising. A disturbing audiotape has made its way to General Charles Ferguson, adviser to the Prime Minister, and from him to the President of the United States: battlefield chatter from an ambush in Helmand province, Afghanistan, in which twelve U.S. Army Rangers and a British medical team died. Most of the Taliban voices are Afghan, but not all of them shockingly, some of them are British, and one in particular, the voice of the commander, bears an Irish accent. The idea that one of their own could be responsible for such a massacre is appalling, and Ferguson immediately puts Sean Dillon in charge of hunting the traitor down. But Dillon has his own way of doing things and, he will eventually discover, so does his quarry. Not only will Dillon be going to war the war will be coming to him. Filled with suspense, driven by characters of complexity and passion, The Judas Gate is an unforgettable novel by the man who has produced some of the best suspense fiction of the past 50 years (The San Diego Union-Tribune). Members Reviews: Great intrigue What made the experience of listening to The Judas Gate the most enjoyable? The reader did a good job of taking you into the scene. Who was your favorite character and why? Sean Dillon is always my favorite. I love his tongue-in-cheek style. Which character as performed by Simon Vance was your favorite? Sean Dillon, same as above. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? When Billy Salter was shot outside the Dark Man. I was afraid we'd lost him. Any additional comments? Jack Higgins is a great read, and now I've found him to be a great listen as well. Riveting! I liked this and all of the Sean Dillon books! He is my favorite character! He aaudacously deadly? disappointing Hard to believe that Tom Clancy of previous Sean Dillon novels is the same author of this one! boring and unbelievable I was very disappointed with this book , very predictable expect a bit more from this writer. The characters were impossible to believe everyone one of them was a certified corporate jet pilot, expert warrior with every weapon and spoke perfect arabic. I won't make a mistake of getting anything from this author again. Narrator was good though.

Salzman Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 17 mins Language: English Release date: 07-04-17 Publisher: Mike Evans Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 8 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: When hell comes knocking at The Stranger's door, the Devil answers with a smile. The Stranger tries to find peace living alongside his father, but the beast can only be kept tame for so long, and when the woods are no longer theirs to live in uninterrupted, the unwelcomed make their way in. ©2017 Mike Evans (P)2017 Mike Evans Members Reviews: No turning back The Stranger thinks it is time to retire and goes and finds a place deep in a huge piece of woods where hopefully people won't bother him and most of all temp him back to killing ways. But that doesn't happen and the stranger finds he was ready to hang up his ax. But how close did FBI agent Grey get while the Stranger was taking his break? This is another welcomed book from Evans, after almost a year since The Stranger came out on audio, and another warning it is probably no one you want to listing to late at night, by yourself, especially in a older creakier house. Narrator SW Salzman makes it creepy enough with the voices he uses, you won't want anything else to freak you out, as this book is not for those faint at heart. But both author and narrator do such a awesome job that you just can't stop once you get started, so I am warning you now, last time, really no turning back. Excellent! An awesome continuation of the story, this book was vile and nasty, as expected. I'm a huge fan of this author's works, especially The Orphans, and this series is just that much MORE than the rest of his stuff. Not funny, not suitable for children, and absolutely over-the-top, this is some of extreme horror's finest. Looking for something to challenge your mind? ...look no further. Uninvited Whew, I made it thru this book alive!!! Lol. if you need or like to read something that will scare the pants off of you, this series will do it. I love Mike Evans books and on the audio, Shawn Salzman did an amazing job (like always).i don't want to say too much about this series, I don't want to spoil anything. Just always beware of Strangers!!! And don't forget to read this series. Aaahhhh!!! Holy crud!! Mike Evans did it again! This might be the bloodiest, goriest one yet! Could not stop listening to this book! Had me hooked from first chapter. Loved it! A Bloody good time. A bloody good time of a book. Great Story, and the audio performance was top of the line. The narrator has an excellent voice and a great range of voices.

Title: Block 46 Subtitle: Roy and Castells, Book 1 Author: Johanna Gustawsson Narrator: Patricia Rodriguez, Mark Meadows Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 8 mins Language: English Release date: 06-15-17 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: An award-winning debut French noir thriller, first in the Roy & Castells series. A true-crime writer and a profiler join forces in the hunt for a serial killer. Evil remembers.... Falkenberg, Sweden. The mutilated body of talented young jewellery designer, Linnea Blix, is found in a snow-swept marina. Hampstead Heath, London. The body of a young boy is discovered with similar wounds to Linnea's. Buchenwald Concentration Camp, 1944. In the midst of the hell of the Holocaust, Erich Hebner will do anything to see himself as a human again. Are the two murders the work of a serial killer, and how are they connected to shocking events at Buchenwald? Emily Roy, a profiler on loan to Scotland Yard from the Canadian Royal Mounted Police, joins up with Linnea's friend, French true-crime writer Alexis Castells, to investigate the puzzling case. They travel between Sweden and London and then deep into the past as a startling and terrifying connection comes to light. Plumbing the darkness and the horrific evidence of the nature of evil, Block 46 is a multilayered, sweeping and evocative thriller that heralds a stunning new voice in French Noir. Members Reviews: A dark serial killer suspense novel with a grippin Where does Block 46 rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? Even though I had read this book previously, having the chance to listen to the audio book brought the story to life for me. It may sound cliche, but narrators Patricia Rodriguez and Mark Meadows voices reinvigorated the suspense for me. As the minutes ticked away, I found myself wanting to know what happens next even though I already knew it. Loved it. What did you like best about this story? BLOCK 46 is one of those disturbing, menacing thrillers that pulls you in with the crime, but keeps you reading because of the characters. I loved the way that Johanna Gustawsson not only developed the story, but also how set set the stage with a cast that will no doubt become even more intriguing as the series progresses. Their flaws and honest depictions really rounded out the more technical aspects of the police work that is within the story. Then on top of all of that, Gustawsson taps into the history of the Holocaust and what was happening in Concentration Camps around 1944. There is a moment when I was reading that I thought the author would just be using this to create drama within the book, but the reverence and candid depiction was humbling as well as thought provoking. The author used this element in a way that didnt exploit such a horrible time in world history. BLOCK 46 is a perfect start to a series and with a serial killer that is intense, intelligent, and vicious, those who love murder mysteries/thrillers will not be disappointed.

McLean Format: Unabridged Length: 45 mins Language: English Release date: 03-16-17 Publisher: Brash Books Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 13 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: Hobbs is a professional thief who takes on a heist even though the money doesn't match the risk...but the woman behind the job does. It's a bad play that blows his world apart. This novella is a prequel to The Soak, a searing crime novel that introduces an exhilarating new voice in noir fiction that's as sharp, cruel, and relentless as the story's unforgettable hero. Members Reviews: Short and to the point This was a fairly quick listen, and for those new to the lead character (like me), it didn't take long to suss out his nature and the situation he was in. This reads more like an old noir story, with the dame falling for the bad guy instead of the private eye. There isn't much else to say without spoiling things, but I enjoyed the main character, the female interest and even a couple of the bit players. Not knowing the world this story is written in, I can't get too much of a grasp on some of the others, but I'd be interested in hearing more. I was provided this story, for free, in exchange for my unbiased review A Good Introduction To The Soak The Lucky Dime was a good noir prequil to The Soak. It was very well done but I want to hear more. This story I think is giving the listener a little back story about Hobbs. It was almost like an introduction. I'm curious as to where the author Patrick E. McLean goes with the novel. I liked that he narrated his own book. He did an excellent job. He has a nice voice with good voice inflections. I can see why he read his own book. Hopefully The Soak will be available soon. "This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review." well worth your money I was gifted this audio ARC for a honest and unbiased review from the author/narrator. I enjoyed that the author Patrick E McLea narrated his own work. His voice made the story flow in my head nicely. I hope The next book Soak is as good and McLea narrated that one as well. Great buy for you, worth a credit. Fast, fun, now I have to hear more. Any additional comments? Great character background and wonderful narration by the author make this a fun and fast listen. Set in the world that I want to know more about. This is a highly entertaining character and story I highly recommend it.I was voluntarily provided this review copy audiobook at no charge by the author, publisher and/or narrator. This review is my honest opinion. A winding web of suspense.. Character development in this novel is simply astounding. But don't for a minute imagine you can think ahead and guess the plot. It twists and turns like a flag flapping in the wind. You'll never see the next thing coming. Suddenly, it's just there. .. A Great into to what seems like an outstanding series.. Can't wait for the next one.. "I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review

George Dixon became one of the best-known and most-loved fictional policemen during the course of three decades of BBC TV's Dixon of Dock Green, in which he was played by Jack Warner. In these 12 radio adaptations, he once again upholds the law on the streets of 1950s Dock Green. David Calder stars as PC George Dixon, with David Tennant and Hamish Clark as PC Andy Dixon. Running time: 6 hours approx. Members Reviews: Dated and lame The audio acting and performance are fine but the stories are dated and a bit weak. A blast from the past! I stumbled across this little gem by accident and have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed it. The stories have been based on the original tv scripts and are, therefore, true to the era. The quality of the performances (well David Tennant as Andy in the first series says it all!) was excellent throughout and the whole thing was so well done that I found myself searching for more - sadly there are none. A genuine delight, particularly if your memories of tea time on Saturdays at the age of nine or ten, involved Jack Warner's 'Evening all'! Fantastic! Loved it. thought the cast were brilliant. Wish there were more! ! ! ! ! Enjoyable radio drama to discover the character by Nice salt-of-the-earth feel to the dramatisation. I liked the stories and the character of George Dixon. I never watched the series but I guess it would be very nice for nostalgic viewers too. Almost perfect Really enjoyed this book. Some good storylines: But why oh why did we have to have David Tennant (good actor though he is) playing Andy? His Scottish accent just does not fit the role. Anyone who knows Dixon of Dock Green knows Andy was typically a Londoner, not a hint of a Scottish accent. Fo this reason, I do not award five stars as, for me, this spoilt it a little.

Title: Crusader's Cross Author: James Lee Burke Narrator: Will Patton Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 42 mins Language: English Release date: 09-01-12 Publisher: Whole Story Audiobooks Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 7 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: For Dave Robicheaux, life in Louisiana is filled with haunting memories of the past - images from Vietnam, the violent streets of New Orleans, and his own troubled youth. In Crusader's Cross, a deathbed confession from an old schoolmate resurrects a story of injustice, the murder of a young woman, and a time in Robicheaux's life he has tried to forget. Her name may or may not have been Ida Durbin. It was back in the innocent days of the 1950s when Robicheaux and his brother, Jimmie, met heron a Galveston beach. She was pretty and Jimmie fell for her hard - not knowing she was a prostitute on infamous Post Office Street, with ties to the mob. Then Ida was abducted and never seen again. Members Reviews: Will Patton is a gem with a JLB story This is my fourteenth Dave Robicheaux story and it is my second audio book read by Will Patton. For me, Will Patton's evocative Southern style, brings to life so much of the lyricism of JLB. Will Patton complements JLB, like Cletus complements Dave! 'Crusader's Cross' is a terrific tale, interweaving events from the past and present, that are both tragic and forgiving in nature. As usual, Dave and Clete find themselves in diabolically terrible situations - at one point we fear for the life of Cletus and for a good part of the book, we wince at the catastrophe Dave brings down upon himself. It is difficult not to be empathic and sympathetic to the flaws in the character of Dave Robicheaux, because it is in enabling Dave's atonement (Crusader's Cross), that JLB gives hope for the redemption of everyman - including me!.

Meanwhile, an unknowing Quincey Harker, the grown son of Jonathan and Mina, leaves law school for the London stage, only to stumble upon the troubled production of Dracula directed and produced by Bram Stoker himself. The play plunges Quincey into the world of his parents' terrible secrets, but before he can confront them, he experiences evil in a way he had never imagined. One by one, the band of heroes that defeated Dracula a quarter-century ago is being hunted down. Could it be that Dracula somehow survived their attack and is seeking revenge? Or is their another force at work whose relentless purpose is to destroy anything and anyone associated with Dracula? Critic Reviews: "Energetically paced and packed with outrageously entertaining action, this supernatural thriller is a well-needed shot of fresh blood for the Dracula mythos." (Publisher's Weekly) Members Reviews: Dracula Re-Imagined.... First, this is a very entertaining book with a flawless narration by Simon Prebble. I enjoyed it immensely. Less of a sequel and more of a "re-imagining," this novel is built on the premise that Bram Stoker, in his original book, distorted the truth about the ancient vampire's motives and purpose. Prince (not Count) Dracula, it turns out, has been grossly misunderstood. Successful in capturing the mood and tone of the original, "Dracula the Un-Dead" also brings back the first book's principal characters, rejoining their lives 25 years after the events of the previous book. Though the story suffers from a few disturbing inconsistencies and several plot twists and action scenes obviously designed for Hollywood, it is a commendable effort that should please most fans of the original Bram Stoker novel. Great Delivery but Horrible Story I had high hopes for this book but was greatly towards the halfway point of the book. It was very much divorced from Bram Stoker. What I would have liked was journal and letter entries from the characters as Stoker originally wrote. Furthermore, I truly did not like the story. It was unnecessarily gory, it was not in the same vain as the original and the characters were not believable. I felt that this was a sequel to the film, Bram Stoker's Dracula in 1991. None of it made any sense and the authors take on the original story was not what I expected. I forced myself to finish it. It was just not that good and I wasn't happy with my decision to download it. Just not good writing although the performance by Simon Prebble was very well done. By the way, ending...was god awful. Very let down. I'd like my credit back please. I actually feel bad about making this review but, this book is so horrible that I feel cheated. I saw it in Barnes and Noble and wanted to buy it but knew that somehow it was going to be in audiobook format. I used a credit to get this book and now, I want it back. There is such a difference between the historical Dracula and the character that "Bram" Stoker created. It seems as if Dacre and Holt took more from Coppola's version than Bram's. I'm really let down by this book. I expected more from a Stoker, but then again, talent doesn't always run in the lineage.

Their escape would seem inconceivable. Only one thing is certain: they aren't stopping for anything. ©2009 John Godey; (P)2009 Random House Critic Reviews: "Hurtles along like a runaway express train. Harrowing, terrifying, and so, so good." (BusinessWeek) "This one rates all the adjectives... grippingly suspenseful, chillingly real." (Newsweek) "A cliff-hanger...fast-moving and believable." (New Yorker) Members Reviews: Still Exciting After All These Years Inspired by the recently released Travolta/Washington film, I redid Pelham after three decades. The work still holds your attention, riveting, compelling. The few anachronisms (no cellphones, no computers, references to Cuban hijackings and Vietnam) do NOT detract from the compact, precise, edge-of-your-seat story. Take Pelham; it's worth it. Compelling! I loved the movie in 1974 so I thought I would try the audiobook. I had only a little time one day to listen, so I thought I would just sample it, give it maybe ten minutes or so. Four hours later I was still sampling. The reader does a great job of performing this audiobook. He changes his inflection and tone just enough at times to make this compelling mystery even more interesting. I think it would be a great idea to hear the book prior to seeing the film, and I strongly recommend the 1974 version, which was a compelling experience in its own right. Hearing the book first is a good idea because the 1974 film varies from it at times in some really creative and surprising and exciting ways. I have not seen the new film, but reviews say it is not as good as the earlier one. Dont buy it Don't buy this one,waste of money....

The press are going to be all over this one like a nasty rash: the pressure's on Slider for a result, and soon. Egerton's partner, the bulky, granite-faced John Lavender, found the body; did he also do the deed? Or was it a burglary gone wrong? A missing Faberge box and Impressionist painting point that way. But as Slider and his team investigate, none of the facts seem to fit. And it soon becomes clear that the much-loved, charming Mr Egerton wasn't as universally loved, or perhaps as charming, as Slider was first led to believe.... Members Reviews: Terry Wale is an awful narrator If, like me, you enjoy reading Cynthia Harrod-Eagles' work, give this audio book (and any others read by Terry Wales) a wide berth. His voice sounds like an unpleasant old-time villain; I can practically see him stroking his long mustache. In the right acting role, he is probably great, but not here. Couldn't get past minute 47.

James Hawker finds her in the Yellow Pages, listed under "P" - for prostitution. This is Las Vegas, after all, where the world's oldest profession is just another business. Vegas has been a wide-open town for more than a century: a place where respectable Americans can indulge their darkest fantasies. But an unpleasant new attraction has been added to this paradise of gambling and perversion - the forbidden vice called murder. Hawker isn't a gambling man, but murder is his business. Barbara Blaine is the most talented madam in Sin City, savvy and tough and radiantly beautiful. A syndicate of gangsters wants to take over her brothel, and Blaine is ready to fight them tooth and claw. But when her longtime lover disappears, she knows the only man who can help her is Hawker, America's deadliest vigilante. Vegas Vengeance is the sixth book in the Hawker series, but you may enjoy listening to the series in any order. Members Reviews: Four Stars Good book, good price Hawker is good escapist reading! Only complaints I have with ANY of the Hawker series are: They're too short. And, we need more of them. The main premise of why Hawker is doing what he does is intriguing. Not sure I buy into the developing story line about all the LEOs exchanging data on him; that doesn't match my personal experience. But hey, it's FICTION. I like them all. Five Stars Like all Hawker books easy read. Fast moving, easy read. Good story When Hawker went to Vegas to find out what happen to Jason he also found trouble. The story is about death, treason and enemy infiltration. A good moving story

A terrifying new thriller from Lauren Beukes, award-winning author of The Shining Girls. Detective Gabi Versado has hunted down many monsters during her eight years in Homicide. She's seen stupidity, corruption and just plain badness. But she's never seen anything like this. Clayton Broom is a failed artist, and a broken man. Life destroyed his plans, so he's found new dreams - of flesh and bone made disturbingly, beautifully real. Detroit is the decaying corpse of the American Dream. Motor-city. Murder-city. And home to a killer opening doors into the dark heart of humanity. A killer who wants to make you whole again Members Reviews: Beukes has great metaphors :-) I love the book however I had to really consentrate to ignore my annoyance of the narrator's horrible voices. Every man sounds like poor imitations of Keanu Reeves in Bill and Ted's or very idiotic. Teenage girls have these really high pitches "OMG-Whateva" annoying accents. Makes it difficult to take some characters seriously. Maybe Laurence Bouvard should rather narrate Sweet Valley High Books or stop with the terrible voices. Grimpsons! Any additional comments? Don't know which was grimmer, the story or the narration. I found the story horribly fascinating but the narrator made it sound like an episode of the Simpsons. I would recommend getting the version for the eyes, rather than the ears. Disappointing The narrator made all the males in this sound dumb. The story was disappointing and protracted in all the wrong places. Won't be looking for any further books by this author or narrator. The most irritating narration you can imagine. What disappointed you about Broken Monsters? The narration prevented me from listening past the first chapter or so. How could the performance have been better? Female trying to do male voice. Terrible. What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment? . Any additional comments? .

Title: House Reckoning Subtitle: A Joe DeMarco Thriller, Book 9 Author: Mike Lawson Narrator: Joe Barrett Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 58 mins Language: English Release date: 07-02-14 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 96 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: The ninth installment in Mike Lawson's Washington, DC, political thriller series takes listeners back into Joe DeMarco's past - to the murder of his father, which was never investigated, let alone solved. DeMarco always knew that his father, Gino, had a shady job for a local mafioso, but he didn't understand that Gino had been a hit man until he was murdered. Now, nearly 20 years later, one of Gino's former mob associates is dying of lung cancer, and he wants to get something off his chest before retiring to his grave: the truth about Gino's killer. The shocking information, and the powerful position the killer now occupies, sends DeMarco on a mission of revenge with terrible consequences. Now that the secret has been kept for so long, DeMarco has to rush to do something about it because the killer is on the brink of taking a job in Washington, DC, that will leave him untouchable. With his job, his morals, and his very life on the line, DeMarco must ask himself: How far will he go for revenge? Members Reviews: New Mike Lawson/Joe DeMarco Fan Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How? Yes. This is a good fast paced book with enough suspense to keep you on the edge. What does Joe Barrett bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Joe Barrett's performance is Excellent! He brings such life to each of the characters. I thoroughly enjoy listening to his narration of the Joe DeMarco books and don't think I would enjoy them as much if I were reading them myself. Any additional comments? I have had the first two books in this series in my wish list forever and was on the fence thinking they might be OK. They were Much MORE then OK! I have just finished listening to ALL 9 books in a row! All of the books are Wonderful! I just can't say enough about this series. Each one can be read/listened to as a stand alone, in or out of order but I really enjoyed listening to them as one Very long book :) This one is the last in the series so far but may be the best. After hearing about Joe DeMarco's hit man father in the previous 8 books this one finally details how he became a hit man and why. This book is about who murdered him and why and who he is now and DeMarco's quest to stop the man before he becomes a (more) powerful man then he already is. His internal conflict over avenging his father and becoming the same kind of man his father was is almost palpable. But then Ta Da here come Emma to the rescue. The final assassination scene with the Russian assassin is a jaw dropper. This was one of those scenes I had to mull over just because it made me realize just how gifted of an author Mike Lawson really is. I am impressed and I don't say that too often. I Highly RECOMMEND this book and the previous books in this series. Great story I've listened to 9 DeMarco books in order through Audible. Mr. Lawson's characters are so well developed and I feel that I have actually met each one personally. Can't wait to listen to #10. Solid,minteresting and enjoyed it Any additional comments? Not o my do you like so,e of the characters, but you get angry and ticked off at others! Best in Series Would you consider the audio edition of House Reckoning to be better than the print version? Having the story told to my by the likes of Joe Barrett is better for far then reading it myself.

Locals believe the site is cursed, but Benjamin Franklin is too curious about the apocryphal Library of Vectis to turn away.... Florida, 2026: Will Piper, former FBI agent, is retired and living a life of leisure, his thoughts far from the notorious Doomsday Killer case that vaulted him into minor celebrity status 15 years earlier. But according to what that investigation uncovered at a secret government site in Nevada, the world will change irrevocably on February 9, 2027. Is it the End of Days? No one knows what the Horizon, as its been called, will bring, and much of the world is suspended between preapocalyptic hedonism and despair. When a new Doomsday Killer emerges - inexplicably targeting only Chinese people - and Wills son, Phillip, disappears, he is instantly drawn back into the case. The breathless, high-stakes adventure that Will is pulled into spans centuries and continents, and may at last reveal what the Library cannot about the future of humankind - if there is to be one....

There is panic in the streets as banks close their doors, seemingly forever, at noon. Store shelves are swept bare and the gas pumps soon run dry. Jimmy Logan watches in disbelief as his world crumbles before his eyes. Luckily, he has friends who have planned ahead for this nightmarish scenario and he joins up with a group who plan to ride the storm out in northern Minnesota. Some of their group will be dead before the sun sets. Jimmy soon finds himself in the battle of his life. The world changes in a single day and there seems to be no going back. People want what they have and they are willing to do anything, even kill, to get it. The government responds to the crisis by using the National Guard to round up the population and to secure them in relocation camps. Those who resist are shot. This is Jimmy's story, but the premise might have been torn from today's headlines. The diverse group of people in this story could be your neighbors; your relatives, and this is a very realistic look at what the future might hold for all of us. What would you do to feed your family if you suddenly found that your life savings was as worthless as yesterday's newspaper? How far would you go to protect what you had, in case it was all that stood between you and starvation? Desperate Times explores these questions from Jimmy's point of view, the result is a thought-provoking story that may change the way you look at the world. Members Reviews: DON'T DO IT Would you try another book from Nicholas Antinozzi and/or Joe Cirillo? If he was to create a story involving main character with a pair and a story line that doesn't sound like the next line should read "A is for apple, see the dog run." One (or a hundred) too many tears down a cheek, in an eye, through a beard. Ridiculous writting, descriptions and progression of a weak story line that started off pretty good; good enough to keep me listening, but eventually at 3X speed to see if the story would regain what it had in the first couple chapters; it didn't. Has Desperate Times turned you off from other books in this genre? Not at all. I am still looking for the next "Swan Song, Breakers, Escaping - Surviving - Going Home, This Shattered Land - No Easy Hope, Run, The Remaining Series, 77 Days in September etc...This was NOT it! How did the narrator detract from the book? He did a fair job with what he had to read. Work on your female character voice. Any additional comments? This was my first single star rating, I hope it is my last. Horrible Narrator How did the narrator detract from the book? He over does it when he's narrating characters other than the main one. He reads the book in a childish way and adds inflection in the wrong way. It adds excitement or apprehension to the character when there shouldn't be. It's not fluid. Very hard to listen...feel like I listening to a Japanese cartoon. The narration is so bad it's funny. The storyline is really over the top. I realize that it's fiction but a story has to be a bit more believable The narrator when he does female voices sounds like a ten your old having a tantrum.

Soon enough Jas has traded in his jogging sweats for neon shorts and finds himself matched against the king of the beach, Collin Fraser, an Australian who is popular with the women as he is ruthlessly cruel. A loose 40 million dollars and a string of prominent businessman who seem to have trouble staying alive add spice to the game. Jake soon discovers there is a deadly undercurrent as he gets closer to finding answers - someone is after him. Members Reviews: Great mystery by an excellent Actor-Writer. Excellent book by that rare animal - an actor who actually has both the real props as an actor AND a writer. Yeah, sure most of them try it, but few really pull it off. Ron Ely, better known as Tarzan and Doc Savage to most, brings his investigator/recoverer Jake Sands back to life in his second novel. The story's an excellent, lightly hard-boiled tale with enough twists and turns, and good characterization, to make things interesting. Ely's writing is distinctive and detailed, and puts the reader right in the middle of the Santa Barbera beach scene. And the best part is that the story never drags or makes you lose interest. This is an A-1 detective tale. East Beach I was excited to first see who wrote the mystery. As far as reading, I could not put it down...always seeking the next detail. It sets your mind to embrace the plot and then takes you away. Read this mystery in 4 days. Oh my....wish Mr. Ely had continued his writing's. Pleasant and recommended reading (but plot could be better) The elegant writing and the well-paced daily life of the main character in this book make for a pleasant, rewarding reading. The descriptions of places and people are very nice. It's good to learn that Ron Ely, after gracing our TVs in Tarzan stories, produced a nice written work like this. I found the plot a bit weak, and it shows especially at the end. I would have given the book 3 and a half stars, if that was possible. They are both great and this is the second time I have purchased ... Same as the other Ely book I reviewed. They are both great and this is the second time I have purchased the first book. I didn't know about the second book until a few weeks ago. Five Stars It is a shame that he had not written any more in the series.
