Members Reviews: but Aird needs to either set the stories in a restricted time frame or let poor Crosby grow up a bit While this is still an enjoyable read it's just not on the level of her earlier works. One problem is the characters haven't changed at all. Crosby has been assisting Sloan for over forty years of books but is still written as an inept rookie. I know series detectives age slower than the rest of us, but Aird needs to either set the stories in a restricted time frame or let poor Crosby grow up a bit. The rest of the characters aren't as memorable as past ones. This didn't qualify as a good mystery novel for me. Catherine Aird has been one of the authors I typically turn to whenever I am in the mood for a good cozy mystery. I have just recently read this book even though it was published in 2005. I have to admit to being disappointed. Partially this is my own fault. I read one of her first novels (The Stately Home Murder - published in 1969 under the title The Complete Steel) just one day previous to starting this book. The contrast was unavoidable. All of the usual cast of characters is present, Detective Inspector C. D. Sloan, Detective Constable Crosby, Police Superintendent Leeyes, Pathologist Dr. Dabbe and all the other crime scene technicians. No time seems to have elapsed from the book written in 1969 to the one written in 2005. It was slightly jarring for me because I read two of the books so close together. This phenomenon of the non-passage of time is, however, the way all of Aird's books are written. The story is that two women golfers are playing a round at a private golf course. One of the women is unfortunate enough to hit her ball into a bunker (sand trap) which is notorious for being difficult to get out of. While hitting her ball several times she is still in the trap but uncovers a human skull. Sloan and his investigative unit must uncover (an unintended pun!) the identity of the victim and why he was placed in that exact spot. It certainly doesn't help matters any to know that Superintendent Leeyes is a member of the club and is in the running for nomination to the clubs governing board. He wants the mystery solved and solved quickly and quietly. It is my own personal opinion that this book qualifies as a short story or novella, not a full length novel. It only took me -- a very slow reader -- four hours to read it from cover to cover. That is not a good sign for me. The actual story begins on page 15 of a 202 page novel. The print is rather large and there are 27 completely blank pages within the story plus many other blank half pages at the end of chapters. They actually count the blank pages to add up to the 202 total. That is way, way too much white space for me. This means that all of this blank space was included so that the book would appear longer. It was something which irritated me. The story is totally centered around the game of golf. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/Blackout-Audiobook/B01CZ4C9I4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

When Bennett kills someone close to Doug, Doug's investigation - and his life - start spiraling out of control. He's placed on indefinite suspension from the police force and breaks things off with his fiancée, but he can't let the case go, and he continues an off-the-books investigation on his own.

When Doug finally awakens from his coma, however, he has no memory of the case or even the last several years of his life.

Members Reviews: Underrated David provides an excellent mixture of humor and suspense. I like these characters and hope for more books involving them. I've long admired, and highly recommend, his Andy Carpenter series. All his books are very entertaining and great listens! Missing Carpenter I did not enjoy this one nearly as much as the Andy Carpenter books. This may have been my least favorite Rosenfelt book. Having said that it is still above average to average. I saw several people say they would like to see more of these characters, but I'll pass. The story and characters are straight forward and there is not a lot of witty dialogue. I saw some reviews saying this one had witty dialogue but they must have been confused The narrator is decent and not as bad as I see in other reviews. He is simply not the witty satirical voice of Grover Gardner, who is perfect for the Carpenter books. He would not have fit this book as the characters and story were completely different. Overall a slight thumbs up. Just missing Andy. Hated the Narrator! What did you like best about Blackout? What did you like least? David Rosenfelt story How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable? Had another narrator! How did the narrator detract from the book? His voice for one of the characters sounds like a gorilla talking! He was attempting a big guy voice and it came out as a cartoon character...awful! Terrible narrator. What disappointed you about Blackout? I purchased the book without first checking who was the narrator. This is not the first book by David Rosenfelt he narrates. I did not like it the first 2 times. The characters sound as if they were 80 years old and lifetime smokers. Couldn't listen pass the first half hour. I love David Rosenfelt's books, especially the Andy Carpenter series. Good thing they have a different narrator. Would you recommend Blackout to your friends? Why or why not? Yes, great story line. Rosenfelt doesn't disappoint. Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Jeff Steitzer? Bobby Cannavale, Danny Mastrogiorgio, Scott Sowers, Jay Snider and many more. Any additional comments? The narration is terrible. Just bought it on e-book, and I like it. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/Dark-Crimes-Audiobook/B01MSN7EHM Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

In this case the mystery isn't whodunit, it's how to catch him. A good police procedural, but I was hoping for more of a puzzle. Almost Too Good to be True What made the experience of listening to Dark Crimes the most enjoyable? It was a very good crime procedural. Seems to have an inside view. Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How? Plot was fairly complicated but came together well. Which character as performed by Cat Gould was your favorite? Sophie Allen is the lead and she is very good. But she is almost too good to be true. I always need some flaws in my heroes. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Although I did not listen to it in one sitting I could have easily done so. Great Crime drama- good narration Would you listen to Dark Crimes again? Why? No because I want to get to the next book What was one of the most memorable moments of Dark Crimes? Was surprised by the actual culprits Which scene was your favorite? Favourite scene was when they realised what evidence was planted and what was real Any additional comments? I liked the narration, the characters were really different and easy to tell apart Fast-paced and gripping! Grabs your attention from the get-go and never lets go. Gripping and loaded with tension. Worst narrator I'm not sure the story didn't deserve more stars, although the writer's research into psychopathy was a little too much lesson and too little like believable speech from the characters. Nonetheless, the story could have been compelling with a better reader. Normally you get used to bad narrators, but this one made every word grate on my nerves. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/From-the-Cradle-Audiobook/B00NMQU0JK Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Twisted But Good Well done by Voss and Edwards! The story gets a little sloppy at the end but all is forgiven because overall, it was a great listen. A young child goes missing from a house in an upper middle class neighborhood in London. Coincidentally, or not, another young child was stolen from its car-seat at a shopping center. Are the cases related? The policeman assigned to the case lost his own baby in a horrific manner. Can he keep a clear head during the investigation? Voss and Edwards flesh out their characters well. The who-done-it isn't apparent until near the end of the book. Highly recommended for those looking for a good thriller who are tired of the hash put out by familiar writers who use co-writers and all the stories are the same. James Clamp was outstanding with the delivery of the story Intense and thrilling. This novel had a great storyline. It was full of raw emotion and had the most surprising twist. Lots of characters in the mix but surprisingly no one was lost. Read in the wrong order... I picked up This book after reading The Blissfully Dead- which was the wrong order! I must say that, though I wish I had done it the proper way, I very much enjoyed both books and am snatching up everything by these authors! Troublesome novel about kidnapped children From the Cradle is detective mystery about the abuse and kidnapping of very young children. It was difficult for me to listen to and now that I am finished I regret it. The book is excellent, but I cannot recommend it. Parents worst nightmare Very well written and performed! I loved every minute of it!! Can't wait to read the next one! https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/Hollywood-Moon-Audiobook/B002VACIQQ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

He asks and answers questions about whats going through the minds of guards along the wall separating the anti-social from the social. And he presents their frustrations as a perspective thats missing from the smug truths that flow from 24/7 news cycles or academic studies tediously designed to prove the convictions of their authors' confirmation-bias. There are whacky, weird, and bewildering sparks that crackle from walking the beat between what different communities prize as normal. And these are Wambaughs teaspoon of honey to make his medicine go down. I like these stories Like the way theyre told and read by Christian Rummel. And I like the talent of Wambaugh that makes me wonder whether the wall between the social and anti-social needs more than guards patrolling its perimeter, serious maintenance to fill its cracks and crumblings or even redesign and restructuring.. Its above the pay grade of guards to heal fault lines. Its their job to alert us when shudderings increase. Wambaughs the guy whos saying, Houston, weve got problem. Enjoy this series from the first, Hollywood Station: A Novel then through Hollywood Crows and then Hollywood Moon. Im downloading the apparent last of the epic, Hollywood Moon right now. Thats the best recommendation I can give. Great Entertainment This third installment in the Wambaugh "Hollywood" series does not disapoint. Fast paced and entertaining, this book holds your interest from start to finish and is well worth a credit. great rendition aside from a few moments of real hilarity in the reading, this book was all over the place. So many disjointed characters, so few logical connections. Fun on the beat I have read several books in this series and they never fail to get a giggle out of me.The things these guys get into are just too bizarre not to laugh at.The narrator read with feeling,which is needed for an audio book and he came through very well here.I do miss the Oracle,however. A good sequel to Hollywood Crows Fast paced and fun read. As usual Christian Rummel does an excellent job. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/The-Burning-Room-Audiobook/B00OYDZP4A Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Burning Room Author: Michael Connelly Narrator: Titus Welliver Format: Abridged Length: 6 hrs and 51 mins Language: English Release date: 11-03-14 Publisher: Hachette Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 98 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: The new thriller from number one New York Times best-selling author Michael Connelly follows Detective Harry Bosch and his new partner as they investigate a recent murder where the trigger was pulled nine years earlier. In the LAPD's Open-Unsolved Unit, not many murder victims die almost a decade after the crime. So when a man succumbs to complications from being shot by a stray bullet nine years earlier, Bosch catches a case in which the body is still fresh, but all other evidence is virtually nonexistent. Now Bosch and rookie Detective Lucia Soto, are tasked with solving what turns out to be a highly charged, politically sensitive case.

Members Reviews: Way too much romance not enough suspense The story is not bad the narrator makes and already too sappy book even more sappy Great Audio book Loved the book had me hanging on every word. This book has plenty of twist and turns from page one. IT IS THE BEST BOOK I HAVE EVER READ If you could sum up The Lost Girls in three words, what would they be? CAN'T STOP READING What other book might you compare The Lost Girls to and why? THERE IS NO OTHER BOOK LIKE IT What does Ann Marie Lee bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? HER READING IS SO RELAXING AND AT THE SAME TIME KEEPS YOU EXCITED Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? YES WHEN HE DIDNT WANT HIS SON TO GO Any additional comments? MUST- MUST- MUST- READ THIS BOOK CANT WATE TO START ANOTHER BOOK BY ALLISON BRENNAN GOING TO START DEAD HEAT :) Disappointed All my life I have forced myself to finish books. like or not. This was hard to do with this book,first of all for the story line it was much too long. Not enough contents, confusing story line, narrator not invested in the story. Actually, I am going to ask for a refund.Sorry, just did not hold my interest. Easy listen, able to put down What did you like or dislike? I overall enjoy this series and this author. That being said, it really dragged in some places. It took me several weeks to finish the audio version. I like to listen when I'm making a long drive to work but when it's a really enthralling book I usually buy both book and audio and toggle between the two. This one I was content to just listen over several weeks. One huge distractor was the narrator. Her reading was so dramatic and so peppy I had to take a break some from that. I will probably avoid books with her reading in the future. Otherwise, story was not very original and seat gripping but entertaining. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/Gods-and-Beasts-Audiobook/B00BJQ7052 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Wonderful writing, not-so-wonderful performance Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not? Why, oh why, oh why didn't they have the wonderful Jane McFarlane perform this one? The writing is typical smart, lucid Mina -- the performance is distractingly mediocre. Not sure I'm going to finish listening -- and I've never done that before. Pity. Would you be willing to try another one of Moira Quirks performances? No. It's all about the dialog This is the third book in a cop series in which the same detective, Alex Morrow , and some of the same supporting cast reappear and evolve. This is not for those who crave action, suspense, a lot of violence and sex--which I also like if well written. Awash in judiciously selected minutiae , and more than adequqte plot lines, each book reveals a little more about the recurring characters, without rehashing the last book --which is great for listeners like me who read them chronologically and closely together. I happened upon Mina by accident, wasn't sure after the first one but by the second book was lhooked. Alex Morrow et al havgrown on me, but what I really have been enjoying is Mina's knack for richly nuanced exchanges between characters. Set in nicely detailed backdrops Mina creates a sense of intimacy unusual in your average cop series, So far the narrators have been pitch perfect for Mina's style. Hope that continues; I'd like to read the rest of the series, Disappointing Performance of a Decent Book This was an interesting continuation of the Alex Morrow series. The book itself was good, with the intricate plots I expect from Denise Mina. The performance, however, was barely average. I had enjoyed the performance of the first two books in the series, and wasn't concerned about the poor reviews of Moira Quirk's performance. After listening to at least 100 audiobooks, I can only think of two that I did not finish because of the performance. Well, this one was almost the third. For the next book they need to go back to the narrator from the first two books. The only other comment was that I did not like the ending - or rather I did not like that the book seemed to end without resolving a number of the plot lines. The ending made it obvious that there will be a fourth book. It just seemed to end at an incomplete point. MIna writes another brilliant crime novel Where does Gods and Beasts rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? Mina's Alex Morrow series is one of the best available in the mystery genre. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/The-Draining-Lake-Audiobook/B00E8ID0WU Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A delightfully dark and twisted story This series is just fantastic. The characters are rich and the crimes are fascinating. I enjoyed every minute. Far Too Much History This book went back and forth between the present mystery of a skeleton in a drained lake, and East Germany's communism. Iceland is the focus of a communist spy supposedly selling farm equipment fifty years ago. How he became that spy is told along with the history of Icelandic students being educated in Germany and exposed to communist propaganda. The story was just that that interesting. Not much of a mystery. The whole book could have been at least an hour shorter. Not one of my favorites. Thank goodness for hydrologists! I was really looking forward to this book. While it was very good, well performed, and interesting historically, I was hoping for more of a geology connection. Another great read! Thank you. History over mystery? An earlier reviewer noted "too much history." That may have been true for her, and this may be why: the story is centered on characters who left Iceland in the fifties to study at the U of Leipzig in East (Communist) Germany. One of the characters is an outspoken Hungarian woman in the time before the Hungarian uprising of 1956. If this isn't a topic that fascinates you (as it does me), then you too will find that it's too much history. I found the book intriguing, but that's because I like this kind of interweaving of history and mystery. If you do too, then you'll also like Adrian McKinty's Northern Irish mysteries--starting with The Cold, Cold Ground. Before I end, I greatly appreciate George Guidall's narration. I don't speak Icelandic but he certainly pronounces the Icelandic names with confidence and authority, so I hope he's correct as well. Glad I stayed with it. I agree with the others that said the unfamiliar names & the jumping back & forth in the past & present was difficult to follow, but I'm glad I stayed with it. I also enjoyed the history lesson. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/Death-in-Brittany-Audiobook/B01HC3Q8OO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The local village of Pont-Aven - a sleepy community by the sea where everyone knows one other and nothing much seems to happen - is in shock. The legendary 91-year-old hotelier Pierre-Louis Pennec, owner of the Central Hotel, has been found dead. A picture-perfect seaside village that played host to Gauguin in the 19th century, Pont-Aven is at the height of its tourist season and is immediately thrown into an uproar. Dupin and his team identify five principal suspects, including a rising political star, a longtime friend of the victim, and a wealthy art historian. An obstinate detective whose unconventional methods include good food, good wine, and taking in plenty of sea air, Dupin finds his case further complicated when ongoing incidents compound the mystery. As he delves further into the lives of the victim and the suspects, he uncovers a web of secrecy and silence that belies the village's quaint image.

Members Reviews: keep this author's books coming Where does Death in Brittany rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? I've given it 5 stars, so, obviously, I rank it highly among the audiobooks I've listened to What was one of the most memorable moments of Death in Brittany? It's not a book of "most memorable moments" but rather a book that slowly unfolds and believably moves toward its conclusion. What does Jean Brassard bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? His accent. His accent. His apparent knowledge of Brittany. His apparent respect for the characters. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? It's not a "moment" kind of book. I was drawn into the book from the first sentence to the last. Any additional comments? I hope to be able to listen to many more of this author's books. A Murder in Brittany Was Superb! This was the first in the series of mysteries set in Brittany featuring Commissioner Dupin. It was an excellent who done it with a reader who evoked a true French feeling for the local. Dupin's character was beautifully drawn out and by the end of the novel you can't wait to read the next one. Dupin is frustrated with some of the people that he works with and he has a definite eye for the ladies. I can truly recommend this book. A mystery of art and murder solved in Brittany A light murder mystery was made a very enjoyable listen by affectionate and amusing descriptions of Brittany, its people, pleasures, and landscapes. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/The-Darkness-of-Evil-Audiobook/B076HS8RDG Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Good Book, needs a better narrator... At 14 Jasmine Marks went to the police with bloody duct tape and tried to turn her father in for being a serial killer, they didn't believe her. She tried again at 17. This time they believed her but had no evidence. When she was 21 her father was finally put in prison for life. Ten years later she writes a book called The Serial Killer's Daughter and he vows to get her after reading her book. Roscoe Lee Marks escapes from prison and the hunt (and murders) are on a fast track right to the end. But all is not as it seems and it's up to the protagonist, Karen Vail to figure it out before the killer gets to her own son. This is an excellent addition to the Karen Vail series. Lots of fast paced suspense and unexpected twists. Daniela Acitelli's narration is ok but I think the book could be a better audio book with a better narrator. She does sad very well but exciting is rather monotone. I recommend this book as well as the others in this series. If you found this review helpful please indicate so. Thank You. great book. I was not expecting that, and really enjoyed this book. I would and have recommended this book to friends. I love the suspense and mystery of it. it was well written and the Mayan was great. One of the better 'who done it's' out there The story is a good one. Lots of story, background, movement and excitement. Definitely made me think. I listened to the audible narrated by Daniela Acitelli and, at first, I was a bit put off on her narration. Seemed almost monotone, but wasn't. Not sure exactly what it was, but, she won me over. She does an excellent job of characterization of each person in the book, and when it came to a point where Vail was stressed, I felt the stress based on the intensity of the narration. I definitely recommend this book and will look for more in this series. could not put it down If you could sum up The Darkness of Evil in three words, what would they be? real good book What other book might you compare The Darkness of Evil to and why? not sure what to compare to Which scene was your favorite? FBI agent getting free Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? no Any additional comments? page turner really liked this book What a great ,Catch me if you can' A very entertaining thriller about the hunt of an escaped convict. Only sometimes one cannot say for sure who is hunting who actually. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/Gladly-the-Cross-Eyed-Bear-Audiobook/B00J7WAKJ8 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: My first Ed McBain book. Good read, interesting enough to keep me coming back for more. I was sure that I knew what the ending would be but I was wrong. Mr. McBain weaves a tale that shows apparently straight forward crime evidence can have multiple sides, leading to totally different outcomes. I didn't give this a 5 star rating as the secondary plot did not seem to move forward very effectively and as a result, I lost interest in the storyline at intervals. I look forward to reading more books by this author. Not Michael Connelly Ed McBain does a great job with the 87th Precinct books, but not so much with the Matthew Hope series -- at least not the ones I've read. I like courtroom drama, and there is some in Gladly the Cross-Eyed Bear, but the drama here cannot compare with Michael Connelly's Mickey Haller series. Gladly was a nice easy read, fairly interesting mystery, but the ending was pretty predictable and not particularly satisfying. Characters were developed fairly well, with the main character being the most interesting, but some were a bit on the stereotypical side. If you are going to read McBain, start with the 87th Precinct novels. I love this one once again As all of his books, I love this one once again. who's bear is it? It's all about the bear, or is it? Who's idea was it? , the video, the life style, the boat, the affair, Ahhhh.... the murder! I enjoyed the book but felt the ending needed one or two more paragraphs to truly satisfy certain points. Worth reading! Does not Grab Interest Did not continually keep my interest; maybe because I did not know Matthew Hope's history. Really enjoyed McBain's 87th(?) precinct books. Hope pales by comparison. I would recommend to friends who like mysteries. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/Death-Song-Audiobook/B002V5CQ2C Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Disappointing ending What started out as an engrossing story about a black ops type bad guy killing cops and civilians ended up so anti-climatically that I swore off this author forever. It was like the publisher decided the book was getting too long, so the last couple of chapters that described specifically the personality and motivations of the evildoer were chopped off. Too much in-depth description of trivia also bloated this mediocre police procedural. Another Hit! Where does Death Song rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? Probably around the top 20. What was one of the most memorable moments of Death Song? The snow storm and the when they were closing in on a suspect. A good description and feel for what it is like to work in and around the very bad weather that can happen in New Mexico. Which scene was your favorite? The scenes between Kevin and his Srgt. Este. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? There was a death near the end that was so sad and avoidable. All the wrong choices led up to it and it affected everyone. quick finish the story was good, but the ending came as if the author ran out of time and just threw in a finish without explaining much about the murderer and motives. I would have expected more of a conclusion. Wish it had an ending I really enjoy the stories but the last several books have had NO ENDING. If Mr McGarrity would spend a tenth of the time on the ending that he spends on on devising a great plot it would be a five star book for sure. As is I can not recommend this book. The only reason that I would buy another of his books would be just to hearMr. Guidall's wonderful performance! My last McGarrity book Any additional comments? If this book had been a print version, I would have thrown it across the room after getting to the final page. McGarrity seems to have a consistent problem with endings--after intense suspense, the books consistently end in a big anticlimax with many strings left hanging. A major factor in this one was that the suspect needed to be a world-class computer hacker, capable of not only deleting emails and phone records from the source, but also from the commercial backup systems. No consideration of this in the ending when the arrest was of someone with little or no computer abilities. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/Keeping-Secrets-Audiobook/B0756SJM41 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: This series is quite good! Chief Sam Mason and Sergeant Jody Harris are investigating the murder of a victim who is unidentifiable at the onset. They are still trying to figure out the circumstances of Tylerâs murder, and both Sam and Jo have secrets from their pasts which they are not comfortable sharing with each other yet, even though they trust each other. Very good book. In fact, so good that I bought and read the next installment this same weekend! Where...next book? I have read both of the "Sam Mason" books. The only criticism that I have is that the author sets the reader up for "book 3 of the Sam Mason" books, but it never materializes. There are mysteries left without solutions, and the promise is there that those will be revealed in the next book. My question is, "Where is the next book?" luv4rdg Murder or suicide? The second book in the Sam Mason series has the Chief and his Sgt of a small New Hampshire town looking into the death of an older man at his camp. The condition of the body makes everything about the case more difficult. Was it murder or suicide? At the same time the mayor and a contractor are trying to bring the big city to the peaceful rural town. Are they at all responsible for the death? Mysteries deepen Enjoying this series greatly including the friendship between Sam and Jo. I will be relieved when the time comes for them to discuss their secrets. It's those secrets from the past that are a connecting thread throughout the books as well as solving the death of their fellow officer. The murder mystery in Book 2 was out of the ordinary and kept me guessing. Looking forward to Book 3. Spellbinding story line The story line was one that held my attention to the end as I couldn't seem to put the book down until the last word in the last chapter, lost a little sleep. The end leaves the reader with another mystery and wanting to keep following the series of mysteries until closure. Looking forward to following the story line as it threads its way to conclusion in additional books in this series. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/Laying-Down-the-Paw-Audiobook/B012OVXLC6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Loved hearing the dog's thoughts. Fun and sweet story. Liked that justice prevailed! German Shepherd lovers will especially love this audio book. Good fun Another good story but one clarification should be made. Houses are not robbed they are burglarized. People are robbed if they are beaten, held at gunpoint or otherwise endangered. It's a common mistake but one that writers need to be aware of. Love Bridgett and Officer Megan Hit & Miss, but humorous What made the experience of listening to Laying Down the Paw the most enjoyable? The dog, Bridgett If youve listened to books by Diane Kelly before, how does this one compare? about the same as the others If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? slap stick comedy Any additional comments? I'm listening to this whole series because I really like dogs and the jobs they do. It's sad that Bridgett is portrayed as a Diva, but she is funny and does some cool things. I much prefer strong women characters and Megan does not fill this role. I keep hoping as the series goes on, maybe she'll get better. Overall, the series is humorous, the story lines are goofy and the characters remind me of Police Academy. Ugh! Would you try another book from Diane Kelly and/or Coleen Marlo? Not Diane Kelly. What was most disappointing about Diane Kellys story? So many ridiculous details - such as a police officer throwing up at the sight of blood. Really? A valued drug dog being fed junk food. It goes on and on. Would you be willing to try another one of Coleen Marlos performances? Yes. Nice voice. Needs a different author. You didnt love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities? No. Any additional comments?

This is an excellent opportunity for Tully, his tracker pal Dave, and his retired sheriff father, Pap, to enjoy a few evenings of hot tubs and single-malt scotch at the luxurious lodge while working the case. However, visions of R&R vanish in a flash on the drive up, when Tully and Pap suddenly realize an avalanche is thundering down the mountain, straight toward them. Tully manages to outrun the crush of snow, but the road behind is blocked, and there's no telling for how long. Tully's stranded at the lodge with a motley group of vacationers and locals - a sassy co-ed, a group of rambunctious fraternity boys, a shadowy group of what looks like ex-cons, the missing owner's wife, a suspiciously good-looking bartender, and worst (or perhaps best) of all, Tully's old flame, who shows up with her dogsled and naughty intentions. Both vacationers and locals start to look like suspects when Tully discovers startling evidence proving that the avalanche was no accident of nature. But why would anybody want him dead? And then the missing persons case turns into a murder case when Mike Wilson's body turns up in the river a couple of days later. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Patrick F.

Tully's stranded at the lodge with a motley group of vacationers and locals - a sassy co-ed, a group of rambunctious fraternity boys, a shadowy group of what looks like ex-cons, the missing owner's wife, a suspiciously good-looking bartender, and worst (or perhaps best) of all, Tully's old flame, who shows up with her dogsled and naughty intentions. Both vacationers and locals start to look like suspects when Tully discovers startling evidence proving that the avalanche was no accident of nature. But why would anybody want him dead? And then the missing persons case turns into a murder case when Mike Wilson's body turns up in the river a couple of days later.

McManus Narrator: Danny Campbell Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 48 mins Language: English Release date: 08-08-17 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 19 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: When the call comes in that Mike Wilson, the unlikable owner of West Branch Lodge, has gone missing, Sheriff Tully is delighted. This is an excellent opportunity for Tully, his tracker pal Dave, and his retired sheriff father, Pap, to enjoy a few evenings of hot tubs and single-malt scotch at the luxurious lodge while working the case. However, visions of R&R vanish in a flash on the drive up, when Tully and Pap suddenly realize an avalanche is thundering down the mountain, straight toward them. Tully manages to outrun the crush of snow, but the road behind is blocked, and there's no telling for how long. Tully's stranded at the lodge with a motley group of vacationers and locals - a sassy co-ed, a group of rambunctious fraternity boys, a shadowy group of what looks like ex-cons, the missing owner's wife, a suspiciously good-looking bartender, and worst (or perhaps best) of all, Tully's old flame, who shows up with her dogsled and naughty intentions. Both vacationers and locals start to look like suspects when Tully discovers startling evidence proving that the avalanche was no accident of nature. But why would anybody want him dead? And then the missing persons case turns into a murder case when Mike Wilson's body turns up in the river a couple of days later. Members Reviews: Another fun romp with the Sheriff Would you consider the audio edition of Avalanche to be better than the print version? Haven't read the print version What three words best describe Danny Campbells voice? Old and crusty Any additional comments? Overall, the book is another fun little mystery that doesn't feel the need to delve into the gory details and depravity that many murder mysteries do. However, Danny Campbell's narration leaves a little to be desired. His voice is enjoyably gruff and gravelly but, much like Tim Curry's reading of A Christmas Carol, it serves certain characters extremely well while becoming a liability to others. Pap and even Sheriff Tully are well served by this vocal performance but any female character has trouble coming across as very feminine. Patrick F. McManus also writes certain pieces of dialogue without identifying who is speaking at different points in the conversation. In print this usually isn't much of an issue because you can keep track of this as you read. It also doesn't cause a problem in audiobooks if the narrator can sufficiently separate each character's voice. Alas, Mr. Campbell doesn't do that too well here and so there are a few conversations that tend to get a little confusing. Still, I would fully recommend anyone who likes a comedic mystery pick this up even at full price, I think it's worth it. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/Borderlines-Audiobook/B017WJPCQI Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

It creeps along sedately as the cast members are introduced and suspicious deaths are shuffled into the mix... then the down hill pace quickens as a gory murder scene amps up the action.

Kept me some what interested. Had taken longer then usual. I took many breaks throughout the book. Great Mystery!! This was a great read and listen! I got the Kindle version and the audio book. Great story that kept me guessing till the very end. The characters were believable and engaging. Couldn't put it down! What a great "who done it"!! Celina Grace dies not dissappoint in the second book of the series!!! Good to have the familiar characters back, and learn more about them. The mystery of who did it caught me by surprise for sure! I will be grabbing the next book asap...and the next one...and on and on! Good Book - Shame About the Narrator I would recommend downloading this on kindle rather than trying to listen on Audible. As other reviewers have said the Narrator is truly awful. Nope, still awful narration I really wouldn't have listened to this if I hadn't already paid for it. The last book was ok but destroyed by the worst narration ever. Laughable really. Anyway this book no better.

(P)1994 Books in Motion Members Reviews: Great, exciting "read," I drive a lot, and listening to books makes the time go very quickly. I am a huge fan of J.P. Beaumont. I am listening to each book in order. I like how the characters are built from book to book. This one has a great plot, and Gene Engene's narration is so good. He makes the characters come alive. Nice twist on the plot I like the closure for the other side plots. I also enjoy the more life-mimiccing struggles Beau faces. Another excellent J. A. Jance book! Where does Failure to Appear rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? Definitely among the top few. Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How? All of J. A. Jance's books are intelligently written. I have never been able to guess the killer or the ending. Have you listened to any of Gene Engenes other performances before? How does this one compare? Yes, several. Gene IS J. P. Beaumont! Always will be. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes! I had to break to go to bed, but continued listening as soon as I could the next morning. I get involved with the characters, I know them, I feel a part of their world. Any additional comments? I'm from the Seattle area and love to hear references to real places that I know about or have visited. The rating of 4 for the overall category is only because the recording had background noises that sounded like shuffling papers and even people's voices. Annoying and distracting. Ms. Jance's writing and Gene's reading is a great combination! Bad Decisions Where does Failure to Appear rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? I'm really enjoying this series, but this was the most disappointing one for me. Beau made some decisions that just didn't make sense to me. It wasn't awful, but just wondered why he made several decisions that just didn't follow suit for me. How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable? Beau make some better decisions when he was thinking of family... Have you listened to any of Gene Engenes other performances before? How does this one compare? He's grown on me and I really like him, it would be hard to hear anyone else read as Beau - he does a good job. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? Yes - but not going to give anything away. Nothing's changed What did you love best about Failure to Appear? I would have thought by now Gene Eugene would have found a cure for his stomach problems. Listening to him trying to cover the burps and stomach rumbling gets a bit annoying. He still rattles papers and mispronounces words. Oh well. He is the voice of JP Beaumont. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/Middle-of-Nowhere-Audiobook/B00AZNOIQO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: 3.5 Stars Fun read with very complex plot & huge cast of both recurring & book-specific characters, who are sometimes difficult to keep straight. Not merely a "beach" book because it requires more concentration & focus than that so at least a few steps above that category. But not nearly as good as "Undercurrents" because "Middle of Nowhere" too often strains credulity by including life-threatening situations that turned out much too well for the 2 lead characters. Not that I wanted them to be killed off - just to reign in the flights of fancy just a bit. Even so, it was an enjoyable read plus you must give the author props for weaving these very intricate plots! If there are flaws in them, I will leave that to others' discerning eye to follow those loose ends through 400+ pages! Surprisingly slow-paced for a Pearson Book The plot and characters in this book are great, but it would have been a lot better if the length was cut by about 100 pages. Just one chase sequence goes on for so many pages uneccesarily. The police are following a suspect on foot, and Pearson goes on and on with the suspect getting on a bus; off a bus; in a building; out of building; etc., while the police keep switching off chasing. Rather than being suspenseful, the story comes to a complete halt. This happens repeatedly througout the book. This book just took too darn long to get where it's going. But there's also a lot to like. The recurring character of Lou Boldt is an interesting one, and his relationship to his fellow detective, Daphne Matthews, is interesting. The plot, in which Boldt is trying to solve the brutal attack on a fellow officer, whose neck was broken, is quite good. The attack took place during a "Blue Flu" and pits striking officers against working officers like Boldt. There are clues that suggest cops might have been involved in this and other attacks. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/Double-Cross-Audiobook/B00VN96RIQ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Many twisted and turns. Never sure who was honest. Good ending. Kept me listening all the way through. On the edge What made the experience of listening to Double Cross the most enjoyable? The different voices were extremely well done. Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How? Constant twists and surprises. Who is/are the villain(s)? Have you listened to any of Suzy Jacksons other performances before? How does this one compare? The first one. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? It made me tense with suspense. Any additional comments? The story keeps you guessing, but in the end, the denouement is wonderful. Nice and clean - grateful The story is underdeveloped in many areas. While you can follow it and the story makes sense from beginning to the end. There's just several areas in the story that are just blatantly not developed such as the attraction between the two main characters; we never really know what attracts them to each other, we only know they have nice eyes. I won't go in to the several areas where things take you off guard because story hasn't developed to make sense. I appreciate that this is a clean story. Great Story Loved it, good twists and turns. Highly recommend it and the author. Listen to this one! unbelievable This is the first time I have heard of a convicted murderer of a police officer being set free from prison to help police investigate a scam. I lost count of the number of people killed in this story, it was like a war zone. I enjoyed the first book in this series a lot more. The narrator was very talented in telling the story and changing her voice for all of the different characters. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/Hollywood-Station-Audiobook/B002V0PQ9C Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

He's got 46 years under his belt and more hash marks than a football field. More importantly, he has a crew of cops to look out for on the streets of Hollywood. From his understaffed office at Hollywood Station, he keeps a close eye on his squad who spend their day in patrol cars, and their nights in the underbelly of a city that never sleeps. As they make their way from the drug dens to dirty street corners, a string of seemingly unrelated events lures the cops of Hollywood Station to their most startling case, reminding them that nothing is too horrific or extreme for Los Angeles. In his long-awaited return to the LAPD, Joseph Wambaugh takes his listeners on a raucous ride through the streets of Los Angeles and into the heart of the LAPD, where no one's safe from the gritty city - especially the cops.

(Booklist) Members Reviews: Excellent Great listen/book. Believable intertwined plots, and Adam Grupper's reading is superb;very fluid and his instant use of different voices for the different charcters gives the reading a "movie" type feel. GOOD JOB ADAM!! Patience...it IS classic Wambaugh The first chapter of this book is VERY off-putting. Two supposedly older cops talking in surfer/valley girl accents that nearly drove me crazy, dude. Also, I thought might be a collection of vignettes from one LAPD division, but it was more than that. Eventually, all the threads come together and the crime/investigation unfolds before your eyes. Classic Wambaugh style. It is a pretty good listen. I was a little bothered by the somewhat overdone narration for some parts, but the overall story kept me listening even when the narration was not very good. I wouldn't rate it up there with Wambaugh's best or even second-best, but it's okay. If you've liked Wambaugh in the past, just get passed the first, oh, 20 minutes or so and you'll be hooked...like really, dude. It's Wambaugh! Nuff Said, K? This guy's the gold standard for procedurals. The gold mining continues in Hollywood Station. Hadn't read a Wambaugh in years... Listened to this and the master pulled me right back. Adam Grupper's fine. Chuck I think the old master has returned. Yes, this is better than his last and approaches to the level of his novel entitled "Lines and Shadows." The story is a must read! typpical Wambaugh authenticity Mixes anecdotes about the daily life of a LAPD street cop with a story line to make this an interesting read. As an ex-consultant for the LAPD who rode around in police cars with the troops, I can attest to the authenticity - periods of routine and boredom punctuated by moments of sheer terror relieved by the "black humor" of the streets. I liked the read. It's not destined to be a classice but if you like cop stories, you'll like this book. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/The-Ice-Maiden-Audiobook/B0746Q4T6V Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Seeming to select his victims at random, he acts out the rituals of the Spanish Inquisition before committing their bodies to the sacred waters of nearby Sebec Lake. Anne Quinn, an investigator for the Piscataquis County sheriff's office, and Detective Douglas Bateman with the Major Crimes Unit of the Maine State Police join forces in tracking him down. Hiding in plain sight, the killer is clearly from the local community and plays a deadly "catch me if you can" game with Quinn and Bateman.

Members Reviews: Great story - Horrible narration Narrator doesn't change his voice at all, I felt like Ben Stein was reading to me. I will recommend the actual book and an ebook but not the Audible version. This story would make a great movie! Could have been better Robotic narration detracted from story, which was actually pretty good. Didn't read the book, but stilted text may have been part of the problem. Normal conversation is not so precise, includes contractions. Good sounding story overall The story (what I could slog through of it) sounded like a good story. However the narrator/reader was closer to a text-to-speech reader than an actual voice talent. No inflections of any kind, like a 5th grade English teacher. I will have to read the book directly to see if the story is as good as it started out at a later date. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/Even-Dogs-in-the-Wild-Audiobook/B018SU3O3S Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Even Dogs in the Wild Author: Ian Rankin Narrator: James Macpherson Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 10 mins Language: English Release date: 01-19-16 Publisher: Hachette Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 370 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: Rebus comes out of retirement...to save his nemesis. Detective Inspector Siobhan Clarke is feeling the heat. She's investigating the death of a senior government prosecutor, David Minton, who has friends in high places. When one of their own is killed, the powers that be want answers fast. But Clarke is puzzled: If Minton died in a robbery as everyone thinks, why is nothing missing from his home? The answer may lie not in what was taken but in what was left behind at the scene - an ominous note. Malcolm Fox is feeling useless. Shunned by his colleagues because of his past in the Complaints bureau, he's been reassigned to a grunt detail, helping a surveillance team - one that trusts him even less than his own boss does - track a notorious Glasgow crime family. Helping Clarke with the Minton case is the only thing that makes Fox feel like a real cop. Newly minted civilian John Rebus is feeling restless. Being a cop is in his blood, and he's failing miserably at retirement. So when Clarke and Fox ask for his help, Rebus doesn't need long to consider his options. But before he can get his bearings, a call comes from Rebus' old nemesis - "Big Ger" Cafferty. Someone just fired a bullet through his front window - and sent him a note identical to Minton's. The normally unflappable old gangster is on edge, but for the life of him Cafferty can't figure out who he's wronged. And the only man he trusts with his life is Rebus. As the cases collide, it's up to Clarke, Fox, and Rebus to connect the dots and save their unlikely ally, Cafferty, whose past harbors a shocking secret that implicates Minton's friends in an unspeakable crime. Even Dogs in the Wild reunites crime fiction legend Ian Rankin's greatest characters in an explosive story exploring the darkest corners of our desires. Critic Reviews: "Retired Edinburgh Inspector John Rebus is back in the detecting game, and, thanks to narrator James Macpherson, he sounds as brilliant and curmudgeonly as ever.... [Macpherson] has a way with pacing as well; conversations move with realistic rhythm, barroom sections have the temper of single-malt whiskey, and action sequences are rat-a-tat-tat."

(AudioFile) Members Reviews: The Scottish accent is as much fun as the story! The best thing about Rebus novels is the dialog, with its Scottish humor. The narrator's Scottish accent and lilt makes the dialog twice as good. Although it is true that for a Yank like me it was harder to understand what was being said and I had to pay closer attention, it was easily worth it. Ian rankin Ian Rankin can really write, and I love John Rebus. I'm so glad he's back in the game. The reader was perfect. Ian Rankin does it again Would you listen to Even Dogs in the Wild again? Why? Unlike too many other icons of the mystery genre, Ian Rankin has evolved and updated this wonderful series with new, beautifully developed characters, partnered with Rebus, that old stalwart. If you have never tried him, this is the one for you. Rankin masterpiece Another masterpiece by Rankin - my only disappointment - not another one ready to go! When will Rebus be in action again? Listen on 75% speed I had to listen on 75% speed to be able to understand the accent. It work well and I was able to understand the content. The story was a little slow, not withstanding the slower listening speed. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/Undercurrents-Audiobook/B00852GMBQ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

And, please, the only character who hadn't a high pitched, nasal, annoying voice was the protagonist. Didn't like it. Waste of a credit Would you try another book from Ridley Pearson and/or Jeff Cummings? Cliched writing, unsympathetic character, uninspired plot. Some of the writing made me wince. This book got good reviews but there are so many more & better mysteries out there. I was hoping to find another series that I would enjoy, but I only listened to the whole book because I paid for it. Would you ever listen to anything by Ridley Pearson again? no Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Jeff Cummings? He was fine as the main character but when he gave voice to some of the others his voice was high pitched and grating. You didnt love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities? No Outdated What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you? The outdated criminology methodology made me wince. What was most disappointing about Ridley Pearson???s story? I'm sure it was captivating when first published. How did the narrator detract from the book? Male and female voices overlapped. You didn???t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities? I liked the local. Any additional comments? I wish audible would publish the original date as opposed to the audible date of issue. Disappointing x 2 Stilted, monotonous reading squelches any prospect of appreciating the mediocre story. Won't be trying more from author or reader. Couldn't Put It Down Listened to last half almost straight through. Loved the Bolt/Daphne team. The performer did a great job with the various characters. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/But-Not-Forgotten-Audiobook/B076XH3CYS Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: 3.5 Stars The Ending Was Deflating!! This was a well written book. I enjoyed most of the story, and had a good time trying to predict what was going to happen next, or the overall plot. One minute I am leaning to one character as favourable, and then I find myself despising them later. I ended up liking characters, and could feel my emotions begin to spike when dramatic things would happen with them. It keeps your attention, and has a great plot. The main issue is the cliff hanger ending which really annoys me. Having said that I am going to get the next book. I was privileged to be provided a copy of this book for a honest and unbiased review J. Scott Bennett was good with the delivery of the story although I found his voice a little monotone Book 1 The characters were real and beautifully written. You will feel as if you actually know these people- This author paints his characters with a colorful brush, and they come out quite three dimensional. An Awesome Listen I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request, and have voluntarily left this review. I really enjoyed this book. It has great characters and a fast paced plot. The hero is flawed, but does his job as police chief so well. As he tries to solve a murder, he is drawn into a mysterious plot. Between the writing and the narration this is a great audiobook. I will be listening to Book 2, if its half as good as the first one, I'll be thrilled. Great! Great mystery that had me guessing all the way through. I need book 2 right away! Well written and fantastic narration! I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. The fact that I was gifted this book had no influence over my opinion of it Not forgotten and not forgiven... It's one of those suspence / crime novels that keeps you glued to the pages late at night... It starts with a horrible incident, an unimaginable tragedy which leaves Clint Wolf scarred for life and then goes on a rollercoaster of at first seemingly unexplained and illogical events, with lots of red herrings on the way, to end with a big boom when we finally get to know the solution to all this plotting and machinations. Then it all becomes clear and we wonder why we didn't see it coming...:) The characters are very well drawn with just a few sentences, their personalities are diverse and definitely not white and black - there are a lot of grays in all of them. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/Brotherhood-in-Death-Audiobook/B019S9INXO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Good read London Carter is a moral, brave detective. This story had lots of twists that kept me looking back at who was who. Should have read it in one sitting! Action Packed A highly trained sniper is killing cops and London Carter is caught in the cross-hairs trying to get to the bottom of who is the killer before he loses more people he cares about. He finds that things aren't what they should be in this law enforcement community and trusting the wrong person could be deadly. There is love, deceit, lies and possibly even dirty cops as things begin to unravel. The book is fast paced, action packed, and there are a couple of good twists that I didn't see coming. I will definitely read another in the London Carter series. A damn fine story! I kept thinking that James 516 was from the Bible. Boy was I wrong! And even though I kept thinking that there was something wrong with this one character; it just kept me guessing until the end. It was so complex that I was surprised at the end, although I had the feeling but then I'd say, no way. Guess it pays to listen to your gut feelings. Actually there were two surprises, but then....that's ok. It was a really well written book; the plot was well thought out. It's a damn fine story! Another GREAT London Carter Story! I love this series. This was a fast paced, interesting story with so many twists to it, the final twist was so unexpected. Wow, this was good. London doesn't let up til he gets to the truth even if the truth is really hard to take. I read these out of sequence but it didn't matter, they are each so very good. The writing flows along perfectly, detailing every step as you go. I recommend this book to everyone who likes a enjoyable, interesting mystery. Reminds me of the TV show Flash Point Pretty action packed. I liked the main character, London Carter. I was rooting for him and Bethany for most of the book. The author did a good job of weaving together various plot points and of hiding clues to the identity of the rogue sniper. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/Kate-Burkholder-Three-Novellas-Audiobook/B01M2WFC88 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Long Lost After closing a difficult case, Kate Burkholder and John Tomasetti look forward to some downtime, but their relaxation is cut short by rumors that the old house where they're staying is haunted by a girl who disappeared 20 years earlier, leaving nothing behind but some bloody clothes by the river and rumors of a volatile relationship. Swept up in the girl's story and a need for justice, Kate and John begin looking into the mysterious disappearance. A Hidden Secret When a baby - only hours old - is discovered on the Amish bishop's front porch in Painter's Mill, Ohio, Chief of Police Kate Burkholder is called in to investigate. The newborn is swaddled in an Amish crib quilt, and the only other item found with the child is a hand-carved wood rattle, which Kate also recognizes as Amish. With the rattle and quilt as the only clues, Kate must call upon her own Amish roots and, with the help of state agent John Tomasetti, search the Amish and "English" communities of Painters Mill for clues to unravel the poignant, puzzling mystery. Seeds of Deception Listeners get a glimpse into Chief of Police Kate Burkholder's past and her Amish roots. Fourteen-year-old Katie Burkholder has been tasked with picking apples in Zimmerman's Orchard with her best friend, Mattie, when a group of older "English" boys, known troublemakers, interrupt. Mattie, no stranger to trouble herself, disappears into the old barn with one of the boys, and moments after they both run out, the Zimmermans' barn is consumed by fire. Katie suspects the boy had something to do with the blaze, but he denies it. When the facts don't add up, Katie begins her own investigation - and she doesn't like what she finds.

Members Reviews: misleading Any additional comments? when you look at the title it said (three novellas) but the book is only one story four hours long. the title is vary misleading and i think it needs to be reserved Missed the full story I really like Kate Burkhart, none of these stories had the punch that most in the series have. Guess I'm not a Novella person, I always feel somethings missing. I'm just a big fan. Loved these short stories. What made the experience of listening to Kate Burkholder: Three Novellas the most enjoyable? I really like these books and Katie the main player. The mysteries are interesting and the stories of Amish country are well written. This is a great intro to the serious if you have not read them. Some interesting background to the main stories Three short stories. Two with Kate as the Chief of Police and one with her as a child living in the Armish community. An interesting interlude but I prefer the full, rather than short, stories. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/Dance-Hall-of-the-Dead-Audiobook/B002VA9VWK Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

(The New Yorker) Members Reviews: Pace was off The problem with an abridged book is that it lacks the depth that a good author can give in a full length treatment. That was clearly the case here. Other than that, it was a pleasant experience. Why no other books by Hillerman at Audible.com? wished it was longer Always enjoy these books - just wish they were longer. Dancehall of the Dead Hillerman is an easy read and has a pleasant way he approaches his characters. This is the first book I have listened to but have read 6 or 7 and they are just as good anyway you take them. I would like to see more audibles done as I don't mind listening over and over. I highly recommend him to anyone who enjoys a good wholesome story with intrigue and down to earth approaches. Great listen This is a wonderful mystery that is both clear and easy to listen to and keep up with. I'm a big fan of Hillerman, and hope that many more of his books will be available on Audible! Great story, good narration, poor production I love Hillerman and Michael Ansara did a good job of bringing the story to live with voice characterizations. I was disappointed by the sound quality and uneveness in production. It definitely detracted from an otherwise excellent book narrated with a memorable voice. Accordingly, I was disappointed overall and wouldn't have purchased this audiobook had I know of the issues in the recording. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/Zack-A-Thriller-Audiobook/B078P42ZYB Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Between the twists and turns, the "double" life of Zack Herry, the characters, and the plot, I couldn't put this book down. This book is written with such precision and detail. There was no stone left unturned. There was no question of who was who or what was what. Although the story as a whole was pretty straight-forward, it was also complex. The contradictions that make up Zack Herry are as much of a compliment to his character as they are a flaw. I was so invested in this book as I read it. I needed to know just who the killer was. Would Zack be able to close this mystery and come out unscathed? I had so much apprehension on how the story would end. I truly hope that the rest of the Zack Herry series is translated and published in the U.S. because I truly want more.ÂÂ a thriller, edge of your seat, not for a weak stomach novel Zack is a thriller, edge of your seat, not for a weak stomach novel by Mons Kallentoft, a critically acclaimed and international bestselling author of the Malin Fors crime series and Marcus Lutteman, a celebrated Swedish journalist known for his research and biographies. This is the first book in the Herkulesserian series. Zack works for the special crime unit in Stockholm and at night he loves to let loose with activities his job would frown upon. After a long night out, a case involving the brutal murder of four women comes across his desk. But dealing with this crime gives him flashbacks to when his mother was murdered. Still trying to find his mothers murderer, his "night activities" and his work on this case bring Zack close to the edge. Books are all about the description and how it is done. How they take you away as if its like you are a part of it...and this book is very descriptive. Some parts are very hard to read and very raw. There are strong tropics that can turn your stomach. That being said, the story line is good. The writing flows, its fast paced with a lot of action in a short period of time.

Members Reviews: Great book I almost didn't buy this book because of a couple reviews I read. But decided to take a chance. I really liked the book. It's an easy read and kept interested. The narrators were good too. Just OK Brother and Sister's parents and childhood reflect examples of what creates horror stories. ....separated after parents death, foster homes, trouble with the law, and hide, seek and kill create the story line.... Interesting, at times a little unbelievable.....a twisted ending results in my just OK review..... Not one of Lisa Gardners can't put down novels.... https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/Hollywood-Crows-Audiobook/B002V8MOPS Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

But in Hollywood, nothing is ever what it seems. To them, Margot is a harmless socialite, stuck in the middle of an ugly divorce from the nefarious bar-owner, Ali Aziz. What Nate and Bix don't know is that Margot's no helpless victim: she's setting them both up so that she can get away with the perfect murder - and still stand to inherit her ex-husbands's ill-won fortune. What SHE doesn't know is that Aziz has replaced her sleeping pills with a poison. And then there's Leonard Stillwater, a small time tweaker whose connection to Aziz is about to shoot him into the big leagues.

Members Reviews: Who's At Fault? Another Shuddering Success Wambaugh finds stories along civilizations fault lines. He asks and answers questions about whats going through the minds of guards along the wall separating the anti-social from the social. And he presents their frustrations as a perspective thats missing from the smug policies flowing from 24/7 news cycles or academic studies tediously designed to prove the convictions of their author's confirmation-bias. There are whacky, weird, and bewildering sparks that crackle from walking the beat between what different communities prize as normal. And these are Wambaughs honey-loaded teaspoons that make his medicine go down. I like these stories Like the way theyre told and read by Christian Rummel. And I like the talent of Wambaugh to make me wonder whether the wall between the social and anti-social needs more than guards patrolling its perimeter, like serious maintenance or even redesign and new construction to fill its cracks and crumblings. Its above the pay-grade of guards to heal fault lines. Its their job to alert us when shudderings increase. Wambaughs the guy whos saying, Houston, weve got a problem. Enjoy this series from the first, Hollywood Station: A Novel then through Hollywood Crows and now Hollywood Moon. Im downloading the apparent last of the epic, Hollywood Hills right now. Thats the best recommendation I can give. Laugh out loud funny and deadly serious Great and fun ride. The author brings in witty thoughtful and silly characters. At the same time crafts a good tale around it. This was my first of Joseph Wambaugh's books - now on to the next one! Funny light weekend reading All of Wambaugh's Hollywood series are simplistic comic views into the Hollywood division's diverse characters. I really enjoyed each of them and look forward to more from Wambaugh. Recommended for light reading. Good to the last sentence! I've always loved Joe's stuff, well, most of it. The two Hollywood Station books are great. Wish they would put Black Marble on Audio. That Rocks! Awesome. Great book and great series. Keeps you on the edge of your seat. This is truely written by a master. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/Help-the-Poor-Struggler-Audiobook/B00ED1P0IY Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Grimes sets a more serious tone--good listen The last book or two in the series have seemed transitional in some ways, from the earlier books which were richly populated by all the eccentric characters from Long Piddleton and provided some comic relief in places during the crime detection. This book is almost all about Richard Jury (from Scotland Yard), his sidekick Sgt Wiggins, and an Inspector from another jurisdiction, Brian Macalvie. Melrose Plant plays a minor role, and the Long Piddleton characters meet briefly in the Jack and Hammer pub, so that we don't forget about them, but this is really a more serious and intense book than the earlier ones. There is both interesting tension among the characters who have experienced three recent murders and the haunting memory of one twenty years before for which the wrong person might have been convicted. The recent murders occur when he is getting out of prison. As usual, Grimes has used a pub as the title of her book, "HelpThe Poor Struggler," and this name may be said to sort of speak to the general situation, but doesn't play a central role in the book, except that Jury, Wiggins and Macalvie meet there to discuss the case. Here are three seemingly unrelated child murders and they must hurry to solve the case before another child gets murdered, in this case, the precocious Lady Jessica Ashcroft. I felt this book was an improvement from her last, but still greatly miss the lighter-hearted early books, where there was still Richard Jury, Who did more with Melrose Plant and his team of quirky friends. There was nice tension-reducing in that. However, this looks like a transition into more serious crime solving. Her most recent books (notwithstanding that they were all written in the 1980's), but recent in terms of where in the series they are placed, seem to be her effort to have less involvement of the silly characters and more straightforward mystery solving. I rather miss the Long Piddleton group, but know this is her own maturation as a writer most likely. I enjoy hearing this old series, which I read in the 80's. They are each a treat. Recommend. Jury and the deaths of children Would you listen to Help the Poor Struggler again? Why? Yes, I would. I like the Martha Grimes mysteries. Having read most of them years ago, I particularly enjoy listening. In this book the heavy-drinking crowd at the Jack and Hammer do not play as big a role, though Melrose does come into the plot--always a good addition. The plot and resolution (particularly the resolution) are a tad fragile, but my belief is that readers take to Grimes' novels for the atmosphere and character development. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/The-Dark-Root-Audiobook/B01FMW8R46 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Just too long I wanted to love Dark Root as I have the previous books. However, much like Asian crime, this book was so long and convoluted that I lost will to live. I only finished listening with half an ear. Taylorson's narration is excellent, but he seemed to know he was droning on. The only upside was that Gail has gone to law school, and I didn't have to listen to her "insights." A VERY INTERESTING SUBJECT Would you listen to The Dark Root again? Why? No. The subject matter was very interesting, but the story told dragged on. What other book might you compare The Dark Root to and why? It might be compared to other detective or cop novels but not favorably. Which character as performed by Tom Taylorson was your favorite? Is guess it would be Joe Gunther although he wasn't much of a hero Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? No. There were parts that dragged on. Maybe an abridged version would be better I gave The Dark Root two tries and eventually passed the midway point before giving up. The story just develops too slowly allowing boredom to take over. The story is mildly interesting, but is not worth the time it takes to listen to it. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/Death-Notes-Audiobook/B06ZZGPW84 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Really good book kept me awake reading he left great clues ... Really good book kept me awake reading he left great clues and the two detectives one was a rookie one had over 20 years service but they still couldn't catch home or any mistakes but they New he needed to be brought to justice and as she watched him start thru the wall entrance that they were leaving him go once again she would take a mistake from him to be caught. Bloodied Words Book 1 I always appreciate an author's generosity and willingness to share his/her work at no charge. This particular work was a very enjoyable read. What a waste of time! You spend a great deal of time following a detective chase a killer. Then when it looks like you will finally learn who the killer is, the story ends. We don't know who the killer is, why or how he chose the detective or whether he is ever brought to justice. I could have watched a couple of movies or played with my grand kids in the time I spent reading this bunch of crap that was called a story. It wasn't a story at all. It is just a lot of unanswered questions. Nice Read Slow start but I really ended up liking it so much I got the second book to continue reading. This is just a short story leading up to the next book. I am finding I really like the characters and looking forward to seeing what happens. However being from Baltimore, it seems they accent on the bad parts of the city and so far not a lot nice to say about the better parts of our city...also maybe look into the names of our streets and add a little more realism. Short and to the point It was a good story to read, I am eagerly looking forward to reading the second book of this series. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/Raven-Sisters-Audiobook/B01D1Z300C Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

When a leaker named Verlyn Merritt releases sensitive documents from the NYPD Intelligence Division to WikiLeaks, some of the deadliest criminals have access to Detective Jeremy Fisk's unlisted home address. Within hours three mysterious assailants arrive at his Sutton Place apartment. Who are they, and why do they want Fisk dead? Authorities quickly identify and arrest Merritt. But the case takes a sinister twist when an anonymous third party makes threats if authorities don't release Merritt immediately. Forced from his home and his bank accounts drained, Fisk confronts Chay Maryland, a reporter who has been covering Merritt's case. Fisk wants the journalist's help to get close to the leaker - to find out what Merritt really wants and who else is involved. The investigation is nearly derailed when a serial sniper begins shooting people on the street who seem to have no connection to Merritt's case. The killer's aim is eerily accurate - and Fisk believes the shooter might be using a drone rigged with unusual sighting capabilities. Then the sniper contacts the New York Times and promises to kill one person every day "for the greater good of the citizens of America". With the clock ticking and millions of lives at stake, Fisk and Chay must find the mastermind before he can wreak havoc on a city paralyzed by fear. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Dick Wolf) Tue, 16 Jun 2015 12:31:11 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/The-Ultimatum-Audiobook/B00V3X1QHY thebookvoice.com 11:29:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Strong Performance; Likable Characters; So-So Plot The most striking thing about this book was the continued good performance by Peter Ganim, Dick Wolf has a franchise worthy character in Jeremy Fisk but I believe the supporting characters need to be richer, more developed. While the story spun around current events and concerns, it seemed rushed and disjointed. Moreover, Fisk's latest love interest was a little cliché. Though this latest Fisk installment wasn't my favorite, I did enjoy the audiobook. Thriller Similar to Radiant Angel this thriller deals with attacks on NYC. Good narrator , obligatory romantic interest , informative descriptions of the threat drones could impose on our lives. Fun ride. Reminds me of John Corey Would you consider the audio edition of The Ultimatum to be better than the print version? I've never read the print version What did you like best about this story? It had a great ending and I really like the character of Jeremy Fisk. Wonderful narration, too. What about Peter Ganims performance did you like? I was introduced to Peter Ganim's narration on the first Jeremy Fisk novel. I am impressed with his ability to do any kind of voice or accent. He has a nice voice that is easy to listen to and I look forward to more of the Jeremy Fisk series narrated by him. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? Drones over NYC Any additional comments? I bought the first Jeremy Fisk book on a "first of series" sale and was hooked. The character reminds me a little of the John Corey books by Nelson Demille. Fiske does things his own way, is often in trouble, but always saves the day. I skipped the second book because I'm not into drug cartel novels, but decided to buy this one. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/The-Blue-Last-Audiobook/B01KVM3E5Y Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Good story Although the end was pretty much revealed from the beginning, I like this story very much. Grimes has a sense of melancholy that I find so enchanting. I often find myself reading an Editor's summary and thinking, okay this could be good, but what the summary usually fails to inform the reader of is tone. Grimes has a light hand with humor, a little heavy with symbolism, and just right with melancholy. I hated this book Improbable plot, unlikely behaviour of all the characters, from Jury to the children, an author speaking with an uncertain voiceand a narrator indifferent at best .... it really has nothing going for it at all. Give this a miss. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/Enforcing-the-Paw-Audiobook/B0721LGW7Z Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Great Characters, Good Mystery Okay, I admit to not fully believing in multiple personalities as described in this book. So right away it loses 2 stars for me. However, the characters are so well written and developed I had no problem finishing the book. Sometimes when I am frustrated with a book it is because I really liked a lot of it. This has a fascinating premise and a great conclusion, but I felt cheated getting there. I loved the reader heis one talented guy. Great Author, Great Book This story regarding a suspect with multiple personality disorder was very believable, intelligent, and interesting. I was very impressed with the author's abiity to make the reader really care about all of the characters. This was my second book by this author, and both were great. The reader did a fantastic job at being able to portray all of the characters - even when many were in the same scene at the same time. Many narrators are not successful with voices opposit to their sex. This narrator performed women without sounding so odd that it was distracting. The human mind is the biggest world of all. Multiple Wounds is another novel about multiple personality disorders, but this one is different. Most of the many personalities of the young woman are Greek gods. The young woman's father was a professor who read and acted out books on mythology when she was young. He was also a pedophile. Multiple Woulds is a profoundly troubling look into a human mind that has been altered by childhood memories that no one should have. Helen's mind is merely trying to cope with the sick actions of her parents when she was young. I give Multiple Wounds 4 stars, but be aware that it is a profoundly troubling psychological thriller that should be approached with caution. To say the book is dark is an understatement. I wish I had not listened to it. McLeod Andrews' narration is simply perfect! Just can't listen to it anymore What disappointed you about Multiple Wounds? Long drug out uninteresting storyline. I listened for two hours and just couldn't go on. Has Multiple Wounds turned you off from other books in this genre? no What does MacLeod Andrews bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? He was the best part about this book.

Members Reviews: The Carter Blake series should not be missed... Any additional comments? I think Mason Cross has made it into my top ten authors with this second book in the Carter Blake series. I thought the first book (The Killing Season) was really good and hoped it was more then just a one hit wonder. With this book Cross has proven that he has more talent then just one good book. This book (The Samaritan) is an Excellent thriller, nonstop suspense right from the beginning. It has a surprise ending that I never saw coming and that doesn't happen too often. I checked Cross's website and saw he has a third coming out this spring, I sure hope it's coming out on Audible as well as print. Anyway, Carter Blake... He finds people that don't want to be found. He's been trained by one of the alphabet organizations and is the best at what he does. He also possesses other skills the average citizen does not. Getting in and out of places with out being noticed, self defense/offense, an ability to read people and a moral code he adheres to. He's not an assassin and will not take jobs from just anyone. We know Carter Blake is not his real name but also don't know much of his history. He gains the respect of law enforcement that he works with, he's loyal and he also doesn't want to easily be found. He's a mystery that looks as though a little bit will come to light with each new book. Highly Recommended. If you found this review helpful please indicate so. Thank You. from 5 tp a 3, but good This writing started so oddly I thought I had purchasd the incorrect title. So stay with the introductory chapters until you knee deep in bodies. It holds together well until the closing. Next book neefs a tougher editor. Great action thriller! What other book might you compare The Samaritan to and why? I have no specific book in mind. The Carter Blake character has some shades of Jack Reacher, not in size but apparent lack of roots. He also reminds me somewhat of Mark Dawson's John Milton character.

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 178 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: Evil lurks in Amish country - and detective Elizabeth Harris is there to smoke it out in the new novel from the author of Kingdom Come. By solving the murders of two local girls, Elizabeth has gained some trust in the Amish community. So she's the first person its members turn to when a fast and fatal illness takes hold among the Amish in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Many believe that the sickness stems from a curse placed by a practitioner of old-world folk magic.

Members Reviews: An Excellent Second Book After thoroughly enjoying Kingdom Come, I immediately got the second book in the series. Solid plot, good characters and a really good murder mystery makes me definitely look forward to more. Love Detective Harris and her relationship with Ezra. I felt it gives much more to the story to understand these characters who actually have a background and a life. And I loved the tension between Elizabeth and Glenn. And all the relationships she has with the Amish and the families. Really well done. As before, in Kingdom Come, I enjoyed all the places mentioned in Lancaster that I know. And again, Rachel Fulginiti does a really good narration with Elizabeth and the unique Amish voices. I hope the author is busy writing more in this series! Awesome story! Love this author! Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Yes, it is the perfect mix of murder mystery with a little romance. What other book might you compare In the Land of Milk and Honey to and why? If you like the Rachel Knight DA series by Marcia Clark, then I think you would like this series. What about Rachel Fulginitis performance did you like? She did a the very different voices so incredibly well, even the Amish, with their German/Dutch accents. Suburb performance! Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? Yes, I loved it so very, very much. I had listened to the first book in the series & had to immediately get this second book. Now I'm sad that there are no more in the series available yet. I hope there will be very soon. Any additional comments? If you have not listened to her first book in this series, Kingdom Come, then listen to it first. Especially if you want in on the first of the "romance" part. Great Series What did you love best about In the Land of Milk and Honey? I loved the characters in this book. This book works on many levels but for me this story was close to perfect. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/The-Secret-of-Annexe-Three-Audiobook/B0036GRSBO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: As Advertised As Advertised Another sleuthing classic from Colin Dexter Colin Dexter again, provides us with another example of his mental dexterity in another sleuthing classic with the nicotine and Glenfiddich riddled Morse - the main man - Brilliant! A Good Book Inspector Morse is finally starting to grow more likable. He is not as bumbling as in his earlier books and not quite as lecherous. He does make a date with one of the witnesses and you would really hate him to go cold turkey. The murder takes place at a hotel's New Year Eve's Eve party. While the story is middling, Lewis and Morse's relationship makes the book enjoyable. great book great book and good service from vendor Five Stars I have enjoyed all of the Colin Dexter books. I loved the television version of them. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/Before-She-Dies-Audiobook/B002UZJHYI Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

This is my first in the series about undersheriff Bill Gastner, of which this is #4. The story was just ok, although it is a good mystery. I didn't much care about the victim or her family; she seemed to be a spoiled brat who never grew up. I didn't much care who the killer was or why. I find Gastner's behavior in the face of danger (whether human or natural) implausibly reckless; he would not have lived to reach his present age. I might read another in the series but not soon. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/Kiss-of-the-Bees-Audiobook/B002V0Q56A Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

(AudioFile) Members Reviews: Not at all up to par for Jance None of the three books in this particular Jance series compare favorably with her others, but this one, I would rate the lowest. Although I found the stories of the Tohono O'Odham tribe interesting, I thought her Tohono O'Odham characters themselves were very idealized and quite unbelievable. The writing/storyline itself bogged down badly as well. This review should not discourage anyone away from her other series, though -- especially the Joanna Brady ones. I enjoyed reading this book in print... As a long-time Jance fan, I've read all of her works multiple times. I hadn't revisited this story in the last year, and I find that I don't care for this one any more. The reader doesn't have a great range of voices for bringing diverse characters to life, and also has a reading rhythm that doesn't quite work for me. Frankly, a reader can make or break a book. While George Guidall can't read them all, I certainly wish he could read more of them. Other stories featuring Lani and the Walkers are much better, or at least less disturbing to listen to. Perhaps that's the issue - the villain is so VERY villainous in this one. In print I could skim past the less appealing segments; in audio, I can only wince and wait. A more adept reader could perhaps make that wait less uncomfortable. Loved it!!!!! I found the first two books of this series very interesting. The characters are all well developed and after a while you feel you know them personally. I cannot agree with the previous reviewer. I would recommend this series to anyone. It is just as good as her Joanna Brady series but with a different type of story line. The characters are unforgetable and I hated to see each book end. I will be listening to book 3 in the series and hope it is just as well written. The reader was excellent. A learning experience and entertaining I enjoy this narrator as much as the story itself. I could relate so thoroughly to this story. My favorite aunt was an adopted Native American. The way the story was woven with the present and history of I'itoi and Mualig Siakam was masterfully done. Truly Amazing Story I love every book and every character from J.A. Jance. Listening to the audio form was even better than the original reading. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/In-the-Shadow-of-the-Glacier-Audiobook/B002V9XBX6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

(Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: Quirky Start To A Mystery Series The story for this first book in a new to me mystery series was good. I really liked the strong sense of place Delany created depicting British Columbia and the small town setting of the book. The characters were unusual and held my interest. I wouldn't call it actually charming, but it was a good start. The problem for me was with the narration. It almost ruined the book. The whiny ten year old child's high pitched voice used for almost all of the female characters was just one half step away from terrible. A waste because I will probably pass on the rest of the series. I would suggest a serious listen to the sample before buying the book. Left in the cold I am an avid reader/listener but have never written a review until now. This book was so unfortunate it required comment. The writer shows some promise but has no life experience or perhaps has just not done her homework. The characters aren't charmingly odd but rather flat and predictable. The main character is too foolish to be taken seriously as a police officer. She comes off as something of an idiot rather than the disarmingly naive new constable the writer is attempting to portray. Quite often a good narrator can elevate a story but in this case the reader/narrator has selected a tone and cadence for the female characters that makes them sound as if they are 10 years old and not particularly bright. I usually enjoy a good village mystery with quirky characters but this one left me cold. New for me Vicki Delany was a new author for me and I must say I enjoyed these books very much. I only wished that they had been numbered so that I had read them in order not that it mattered with the particular murder but the thread running through the books would have been more understandable. I find this often with books in a series especially when you don't have that had copy of the inside of the book showing the titles and the order in which they were published. Still that aside the books are great the story line interesting and the reading excellent. Quite Charming As a rabid fan of Louise Penny's Three Pines books, I was drawn to this because of its setting in a small Canadian village. Though the similarities are mostly superficial, I found myself thoroughly won over by the characters. The storyline is entertaining, though not particularly surprising. I was surprised by how slyly this book drew me into its atmosphere. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/Mackenzie-White-Mystery-Bundle-Audiobook/B078GWF692 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

In Before He Kills, in the cornfields of Nebraska, a woman is found murdered, strung up on a pole, the victim of a deranged killer. It doesnt take long for the police to realize a serial killer is on the loose - and that his spree has just begun. Detective Mackenzie White, young, tough, smarter than the aging, chauvinistic men on her local force, finds herself called in grudgingly to help solve it. As much as the other officers hate to admit it, they need her young, brilliant mind, which has already helped crack cold cases that had left them stumped.

In Before He Sees, FBI agent-in-training Mackenzie White struggles to make her mark in the FBI Academy in Quantico, trying to prove herself as a woman and as a transplant from Nebraska. Hoping she has what it takes to become an FBI agent and leave her life in the Midwest behind for good, Mackenzie just wants to keep a low profile and impress her superiors. But all that changes when the body of a woman is found in a garbage dump.

Members Reviews: Not bad but not my genre Not for readers looking for tight police procedurals or reading under the bed scary Serial Killers. This book wanders around. The lead cop appears to be working toward her Girl Scout detective badge. I got tickled at one point... was Porter a dog or a man? He got shot (or slipped in blood.)

Members Reviews: Silence of the Lambs meets a textbook What would have made An Evil Mind better? If there was less time spent listening to endless drivel from the "bad guy". What will your next listen be? The Burning Room by Michael Connelly Which character as performed by George Newburn was your favourite? Robert Hunter I suppose as he was the main character What character would you cut from An Evil Mind? Lucien..... which would make it just a criminal profiling textbook I believe Any additional comments? Disappointing read. The rest of the Robert Hunter books are fast paced and exciting with twists and turns. This was just long passages by the Hannibal Lechter type character about how he beat the criminal profiling textbooks... with just way too much time spent reading out bitter diatribes. I fell asleep more listening to this book than any other. Disappointing from start to finish. This is a you won't believe there's more story Fantastically but hideously violent but it is cliff-hanger after cliff-hanger. Sometimes adding a shock on a shock. Great story and would read more but it pushes credibility beyond the point of mad. BUT for all I can criticise it, it is a well crafted story well written and Chris is clearly a craftsman A cleaver thriller This is a well written thriller which gripped right from the start and didn't let go. Without giving anything away it's a battle of will and wits of two old friends. Each on different sides of the law. Well worth a listen, it's no ordinary serial killer thriller. gripping Probably the best thriller I have ever read. brilliant book. highly recommend it if you like a good psychological page turner. One sick dude Would you consider the audio edition of An Evil Mind to be better than the print version? Not read the print. What was one of the most memorable moments of An Evil Mind? The realisation who the killer was Which scene did you most enjoy? Hard to say there were a few Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? Cc books are always packed with suspense Any additional comments? Some people say cc's shocks just for the sake of it. Yes he is more graphical with his torture and gore than the standard thriller novelist but in my opinion that is what makes him so good! The only reason I've marked him down slightly was because I was a little disappointed with the end, thought I was a bit rushed and convenient https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/Blood-at-the-Root-Audiobook/B004RCEFK8 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

But they're out in no time, and Banks is in big trouble with the chief for risking a racial incident with the arrest. Ordered to run the investigation from his desk and leave the legwork to others, Banks's hands are tied and his temper is flaring. When disturbing facts start emerging about the victim, Banks can't simply sit at his desk---and he soon alienates himself from both the investigation and his own department. While his twenty-year marriage crumbles around him, he tries to make sense of a gray world grown ever more black and sinister, as he follows a treacherous trail of hate, greed, and twisted philosophy that leads to the darkest pits of a man's inhumanity to man. Brilliant and exasperating by turns, Detective Chief Inspector Alan Banks inhabits a Yorkshire landscape colored in shades of gray where good and evil seldom conform to their comfortingly ordinary colors of black and white.

Critic Reviews: "Sociologically acute." (The New York Times Book Review) Members Reviews: These keep getting better These books are not heavy reading and yet there is so much conveyed about the area. The personalities and emotions and lots of social issues with so little words in comparison. The suspense keeps the book on and schedule all amuxk! Excellent! What did you love best about Blood at the Root? Plot is quite involved, as usual, but very well done. We see the beginning of the disintegration of banks' marriage. Narration is excellent. Quite enjoyed the whole thing beginning to end! What about James Langtons performance did you like? Perfect accents for each character. Well done. Dated Though the publication date is 2011, this book was clearly written 20 years earlier. The protagonist listens to his music on his Sony Walkman (remember those?). And young flat dwellers take calls on a communal phone 'on the landing' (check your history books if you don't understand). That said, it is a good story, well-told, and some of the racial themes are unfortunately still current. Awful What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you? Such a dreary voice the reader has although he's quite good at accents but his normal reading voice is dire. What happens to Simon Slater? I'm embarrassed to have to admit I fell asleep before the end but couldn't be bothered to rewind to find out the ending. A complete waste of a credit! Very ordinary police procedural. Nice pastime, but not outstanding. Lots of descriptive passages that don't really add much to the story. Charles Todd's Inspector Rutledge novels are much better. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/Graveyard-Shift-Audiobook/B073K26WXZ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

For some reason my mind started thinking about the story arc being like a narrative dungeons and dragons game but set in the modern day. I hope it becomes a series Next best seller for sure! Such a great blend of crime and fantasy!! I cannot wait to see/read the next book in the series! Very fun action packed can't wait for a sequel Can't wait for a sequel, voice acting was really good every character was distinct. Think this book would be a very good TV series or a movie think it will translate very well mummy's and vampires OOHH MYYY Where does Graveyard Shift rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? 10 for 10 would listen again What was one of the most memorable moments of Graveyard Shift? Menkaure healing up and finding the roman gladius for tag team combo against the lich king ! Have you listened to any of Michael Kramers other performances before? How does this one compare? usually i hear Micheal Kramer in high fantasy settings. it was GREAT to hear him heading into dark urban themes. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? i was asked 3 different times on the work site .. why are you laughing so hard ! Any additional comments? Do yourself a favor and read\ listen to this book ! Can't wait for the sequel! If you could sum up Graveyard Shift in three words, what would they be? Vampires are back What other book might you compare Graveyard Shift to and why? For some reason, the good episodes of Supernatural Which scene was your favorite? Without any spoilers, I liked the part back in history. Hopefully there is more on this in future books. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? The book was very graphic all the way through. Any additional comments? Listen to it on Audible. The narrator does a fantastic job. It's like this book was written for him. Thoroughly enjoyed the book overall. Great storyline,characters and Haspil did a fantastic job creating a world for them.

I was very excited to see a new book in this series and this one didn't disappoint. Not so sure Dilts is the right narrator but other than that I loved it. So close to being five stars I love Tyler Dilts's writing and have been looking forward to this book. The writing is excellent and I like the author's narration. It has an interesting storyline, if a little disjointed here and there. But having Danny miss the elephant in the living room? Really? Another great story from Tyler Dilts Would you listen to Come Twilight again? Why? I probably would not. Tyler is a great author but not a good narrator. Who was your favorite character and why? It is a toss up between Danny and Jen. They both bring unique perspective to the story, and Jen keeps Danny in line (sometimes) Did Tyler Dilts do a good job differentiating all the characters? How? He did a bad job. Without the he said he said it would be impossible to differ between characters. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? All of Tyler's books make me both laugh and cry. However his inability to give each character detracted from that.. Any additional comments? Please continue the series, but please bring back either of the other narrators. Very good police procedural / mystery Somewhat convoluted, but well constructed story. Major characters are well-drawn as are some of the secondary characters. I'll be going back to read or listen to the first three in the series. The author does a nice job reading his own book. Entertains What makes a good book to me is an ability to connect with characters quickly so I'm invested in what happens to them. This book achieved that end and I very much enjoyed listening. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/The-Jewel-That-Was-Ours-Audiobook/B0036GTMUY Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Title: The Jewel That Was Ours Author: Colin Dexter Narrator: Kevin Whately Format: Abridged Length: 3 hrs and 4 mins Language: English Release date: 01-31-07 Publisher: Pan Macmillan Publishers Ltd. Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 27 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: For Oxford, the arrival of 27 American tourists is nothing out of the ordinary...until one of their number is found dead in Room 310 at the Randolph Hotel. It looks like a sudden and tragic accident. Only Chief Inspector Morse appears not to overlook the simultaneous theft of a jewel-encrusted antique from the victim's handbag. Then, two days later, a naked and battered corpse is dragged from the River Cherwell. A coincidence? Maybe. But this time Morse is determined to prove the link. © Colin Dexter; (P) Macmillan Publishers Ltd Critic Reviews: "Superbly clue-laden....A complex and satisfying puzzle." (The Boston Sunday Globe) "It is a delight to watch this brilliant, quirky man [Morse] deduce." (Minneapolis Star & Tribune) Members Reviews: A literary character who gets a bar named for him! âThe Jewel That Was Oursâ is an enjoyable Colin Dexter murder mystery featuring Inspector Morse. Much of the plot takes place at the Randolph Hotel; an actual five-star hotel located in Oxford, England, and in its Chapters Bar, which has recently been renamed the Morse Bar in honor of this bookâs protagonist. The clues that enable Inspector Morse â and the reader â to determine how and by whom the crimes are committed are cleverly sprinkled throughout the novel. Of course, there are many other possible clues that temporarily distract the Inspector, and probably the reader as well; so the conclusion will be a satisfying surprise to most readers. The book is very readable, but Mr. Dexterâs use of parentheses is excessive. It seems to interrupt the narrative because the information seems to be inserted as afterthoughts. Most of this parenthetical information should be omitted or conveyed in a more intentional manner. On the other hand, this California reader is amused by the authorâs âCalifornia drawlâ reference and also appreciates his mythological similes â âas many illegitimate offspring as almighty Zeusâ and âas still as a man who has gazed into the eyes of the Medusa.â Interestingly, the first name of Inspector Morse, which a television series identifies as Endeavor, is not used in this novel. In any case, most readers are likely to enjoy the way that Mr. Dexter appropriately concludes the romantic endeavor of Inspector Morse. I agree with other reviewers that it is unfortunate that the three or four handwritten notes are virtually impossible to read in the Kindle version. That might be a reason to try the hardcover, paperback or audible version. Another convoluted victory for Morse and Lewis. A compelling plot and a great read. Inspector Morse is a vivid protagonist, and no ordinary action-hero cop. He operates outside the box, in the tradition of the great intellects of English crime fiction. Never daunted by the apparently unsolvable crime, he applies the crossword puzzle approach to real life mysteries. He is assisted by Lewis, who seems to not only anticipate Morse's needs, but acts as an uncanny catalyst in the crime solving process. Factor in a very sympathetic criminal element and a spoonful of sharp, ironic humor, and you have one of the great teams of modern detective literature. My one criticism would be an occasional over-reliance on a large, changeable cast of characters, to connect the dots of the plot elements. But... I nitpick. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/The-Treatment-Audiobook/B008DF9EFG Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Sick, obsessive victims as well as protagonists, a plot full of cheesy cliff hangers (some sections 5 sentences long) disgusting details about what is coughed up, what is thrown up, sexual sadism, child abuse lovingly depicted - my gosh, who are those who like this garbage! Not a single interesting character! And to be sure, not a glimpse of any part of the human experience where might be contained humor or tenderness. But mostly? Glacial pace - nothing happens for page after page after page that moves the story, if there is one is hidden somewhere, a couple of inches forward. Argggh! Extremely tough subject matter but good book If you thought the first book was rough going with its serial killer/rapist/necrophiliac plot, you should know the sequel is even harder to take with its pedophilia plot. Hayder never gets too graphic, but describing other peoples reactions to the child rape as they watch is harrowing anyway. And this isnt just child rape but a twist on it thats so repellent, Ive kind of blanked it out. Maybe this is because theres another subplot that made me squirm more with a mentally disabled person mistreated. There was one angle that I decided if Hayder did what I feared she was going to do, Id never read her again. When it ended, I thought she copped out by leaving it hanging, so I read the last chapter again. If I interpret it right, she actually let happen what I was begging her in my mind not to do. But she did it in such a subtle and clever way, that its really kind of brilliant, even if horrendous. The writing and plotting is amazing, plus there are some interesting rape discussion points. I'll be back for more, just not soon. Bechdel test: I think it failed. Narrator was perfect. Better than Birdman What did you love best about The Treatment? The characters were well developed. There were multiple parallel suspenseful storylines. What does Damien Goodwin bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? I absolutely love Damien Goodwin's voice. I'm very disappointed to see that he isn't the narrator for any more of the Jack Caffery novels. Goodwin's voice brings a more youthful aspect to Caffery's character than the present narrator. INTENSE MASTERPIECE This is one of the most intense books I've ever read-or I should say listened to (I switched back-and-forth). The story is so horrifying that you want to stop, but you can't. It feels kind of like falling off a cliff. The plot and characters draw you in almost immediately and after that you have no choice but to continue to the end. The story, like every single Mo Hayder book I've ever read, is not for the faint of heart. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/Dismissed-with-Prejudice-Audiobook/B002V1CKKY Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Jance; (P)1983 Books in Motion Members Reviews: Great "Read" I am addicted to the JP Beaumont series. I am taking them in order, and enjoying everyone. I love the continuity that each book follows on from past stories. Gene Engene does a great job. His narration gives word pictures of each character. If I was an artist, I could draw each one based on his characterizations. Thanks for allowing me miles of enjoyment on my otherwise stressful and boring drives to work. Took time to 'get into' story All of the J.P. Beaumont stories are enjoyable, but this one didn't grab me from the start, like the others did. I didn't want to miss it in the series, so 'hung in there'. I'm glad I did. Love JP Beaumount! Would you consider the audio edition of Dismissed with Prejudice to be better than the print version? yes What was one of the most memorable moments of Dismissed with Prejudice? jp's the bomb! Have you listened to any of Gene Engenes other performances before? How does this one compare? Gene Eugene is perfect as the narrator - he is JP to me! Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? laugh Any additional comments? no other comments While Not Jance's best Beaumont story, still good Is there anything you would change about this book? It was pretty clear that Jance was using this book as a transition on the main character's life - as an alcoholic poice detective that has to confront the nature of his addiction. However, the actual mystery plot line was pretty thin, and without giving anything away, Jance never really explained the eventual murderer's motiviation. Too much was Would you be willing to try another book from J. A. Jance? Why or why not? While this was not Jance's best, the series in general has been a compelling mystery series, and I will continue to follow the career of J.P. Beaumont. What about Gene Engenes performance did you like? One consistent hallmark about the series has been the performance of Gene Engene. He has perfectly captured the persona of J.P. Beaumont. As so much of Jance's writing is personal narrative by Beaumont, the voice that reads this takes on greater importance. At times, Engene's performance is reminiscent of 30's radio mysteries - and that's a good thing. Was Dismissed with Prejudice worth the listening time? If this was the first Jance book you listened to, you might dismiss it as a lightweight mystery that failed in the critical plot development. However, if you start the series from the beginning, it's a still a good listen. top story I have enjoyed all the JP Beaumont books and this one didn't disappoint either. the end was as usual a surprise. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/With-a-Vengeance-Audiobook/B0747RYBTJ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Starts with a bang And doesn't let up till almost the last page! Lots of potential villains in this story. My choice for the guilty party did turn out to be right in the end; although the author gave no reason for suspicion--just my gut reaction. There was definitely a brutal killer running loose, and all the clues to motive turned out to be false. So who is it? We don't find out till our heroine, Zoe, becomes the target, and only Pete can make sure she is rescued. Once again, don't start this book if you have important things that need to get done or if you need to get up early the next morning, because this will keep you wanting to turn page after page until you reach the end. Dusthofy may turn out to be my favorite of all time in this genre. If you like mysteries; you'll love Dusthofy! I'm almost reluctant to order book #5 because that's the last one published so far. What will I find to read that I enjoy as much until #6 is published? Suspenseful Mystery This is a continuation of amateur sleuth and paramedic, Zoe Chambers, and her antics and involvement in helping find a sniper. This time, in Book Four, the sniper is trying to kill first responders and Zoe and Pete have to try to stay one step ahead of the killer. I must admit that this was not my favorite since even though it was face-paced, I would have wished she added more details about the killer and his motives earlier in the story. Still, it was an intriguing read. Enjoyable series! I just finished reading With a Vengeance by Annette Dashofy, the fourth book in the Zoe Chambers Mystery series. What a great read! In this book, a sniper is shooting first responders. Everyone is nervous, especially Police Chief Pete Adams. Heâs in a race against the clock to find the sniper before Paramedic Zoe Chambers, the love of his life, goes back on duty. While Pete and his men frantically search for clues, Zoe and her team of paramedics do their best to bury their fears and do their job. The question is: Will Pete find the killer before the killer finds Zoe? Ms. Dashofy has written a tale that is both exciting and suspenseful. I was on the edge of my seat, wondering and worrying about who would be the next to get ambushed. Zoe Chambers is an intelligent and independent lead character. When needed, she steps out of her comfort zone to get the job done, and this trait is what helps this character to grow. Pete is warm, caring, and well liked, yet he is extremely efficient at taking care of the people in his town. He loves Zoe and wants to protect her, but he knows better than to try and shield her from harm, and this is causing him great distress and many sleepless nights. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/Roseanna-Audiobook/B002V19XBI Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Surprisingly Good [This review contains no spoilers about the plot or details of the mystery] I say "Surprisingly Good" because I should not have liked this as much as I did. I should not have liked it because I think Tom Weiner's narration is too fast and clipped. Sometimes, his voices are grating. At first I did not think I could get over it, but I did and kept on listening. I'm glad I did. I should not have liked it because the detective is a pig to his wife. I don't need my detectives to be nice people, but his childishness was annoying and painful to hear about. In this troubled marriage, I felt sorry for his wife and had little compassion for him. But still I stuck it out. Ultimately, what made this novel surprisingly good was a surprisingly good mystery. One of the key clues was clearly the inspiration for one of the key clues in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. I guess Larrson read this book and one part of it stayed in his brain. The novel is a police procedural set in the 1960's (the book was written in the 1960's). It is clever and well plotted. At the end it is really exciting and fun. There is one stretch that was tough to get through: a series of interview transcripts with Q and A. The performance of that made me want to scream. Thankfully it was not more than 30 minutes. This and other books in the series are priced very reasonably. For fans of Scandinavian murder mysteries (Hakan Nesser, Henning Mankell, and others), this series is an important inspiration. If you're hardcore about mysteries set in this part of the world, you have to read this series which is pretty much the beginning of the tradition. The novel begins with a prologue by Henning Mankell, which explains why the series was so groundbreaking and important and well done. I left it for last. The cover image used for this book was annoying and sloppy. Every time I turned on the audiobook I had to look at a fat bare foot in the grass? Give me a break. A minor detail, but a grating one. I was genuinely surprised at how much I liked this novel because I was not crazy about the narration. It felt too fast. I will continue with this series however because it was sharp and clever and I think I could get used to these characters. Skip the audiobook and read the book... Tom Weiner's narration and voice characterizations were distracting and irritating. The original ten Martin Beck books were well-written, and the plots and character developments were exceptional. I can recommend the books, but not this audiobook. The narrator's performance ruined the experience for me. I still plan to buy the other audiobooks in the series, but I wish someone else had been chosen to narrate the stories because Per Wahloo and Maj Sjowall wrote a great series of novels when they penned the Martin Beck mysteries. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/An-Ace-and-a-Pair-Audiobook/B0773WNWHW Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Not a favorite I love a mystery but this one is a bit over the top. If you like multiple Mafia type crimes then this is for you. As for me, there were too many gangs, too many players and too many impossible scenarios. Case in point.... How did he know to go to Texas.... And, since I live in Texas,. I know there is no way to find a car or truck hidden out in the barren waste of nowhere. Then there's the brilliant deduction that Maria went to Berkley college in San Fran, of all the colleges in the country. Wow what a stroke of genius.! This was just way to far fetched to be slightly believable. I also had an issue with the editing. Too many flips from just who is telling the story. First person or third person.???? Other editing errors were apparent also. It took me quite a while to decide to finish this book. I did because I wanted to know who did it. I know that's what the author wanted, but it was not fun getting to the end of it. An addition to my "Favorite Fictional Cops" list. Read it! Once I started I couldn't put it down. Mr. Banner spins a fine tale.Detectives Stone and Dehan, one an old dinosaur who insists on doing things his way - the old school way - and the other a woman with a chip on her shoulder when it comes to everyone else in the department come together to create a mighty fine partnership. I hope that there are many more books featuring this pair, as I look forward to reading them all. Well done, Mr Banner. Well done. THIS AUTHOR ACED THIS PLOT This book was a little hard for me to follow when I first got into it. Too many characters were introduced too fast. But once I got into the book. this author wrote a really good storyline and plotted the book well. I just wish the book were better proofed. A juicy compelling mystery. Well written and enjoyable. I liked the characters, the style of writing and the story. The only problem I had was remembering all the characters and their order timeline. Overall I enjoyed the repartee between the detectives and their unwritten shorthand. It made for good partners. Kept Me Guessing I read several books of this genre a week. Iâm always looking for good new authors. This book kept me guessing, which virtually never happens. It also had a very human element. Finally, the relationship between the male detective and his female partner was fun, sexy, AND respectful.

I can't get enough of Toby Neal's stories narrated by Sara Malia Hatfield! Classic Neal crime novel, STOLEN IN PARADISE is FBI Special Agent Marcella Scott's vehicle sans best friend, Lei Texeira of the Lei Crime Series. In addition to a murder case involving a top secret formula & dead bodies, I loved learning more about Marcella's relationship with hunky HPD Detective Marcus Kamuela---hot, hot, HOT! Sara has the most amazing talent for a variety of voices and the lyrical dialect of the islands. Loved Marcella's Story! Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Yes!! Toby Neal's stories are always compelling, but adding the Voice of Sara H. to the mix makes the audiobook something really special! Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How? I really liked this story a lot and the tension of Marcella's story - the struggle of her work and personal life. I loved learning more about her, her background, and family. She is an interesting woman to know. As with all of Neal's books, the mystery has unexpected twists and turns. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? Although it is a companion to Lei Crime, it was enough of a different type of a story that it really kept me intrigued. I was done with it fairly quickly -- didn't want to turn off my iPhone! Any additional comments? The narrator is incredible!! Great story. This is my first Toby Neal. It won't be my last. Good work and well worth the listening time. Hawaii, Sex Club, Murder served with pasta Overview of this book is this - a homicide worked by relationship phobic detectives who enjoyed a sex club relationship, tossed with Italian parents who are attempting to settle into a Hawaiian retirement. The narrator was good, she handled accents very well and was appropriately enthusiastic as she read, but I expected more after reading the reviews - I trust reviews. If you are thinking of listening to this book, you'll find it entertaining, it was just not enough for me. wrong Italian references the story is ok and keeps you wanting to read more but I was a bit frustrated by sone wrong Italian references and by the Italian accent that the audible performance had. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/The-Deliverance-of-Evil-Audiobook/B078P4VKVV Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Fantastic Get ready for a truly fantastic mystery.........take your time to read carefully the plot is thick and convoluted.It kept me guessing and I didn't figure it out until about the last 20 or 30 pages that's when it all came together, a great mystery for those of you who love not to be able to solve them in the first chapter.A great whodunit.A real five star Mystery The Deliverance of Evil was very boring, I tried to sell it back at Amazon ... The Deliverance of Evil was very boring, I tried to sell it back at Amazon but as I had no takers I eventually donated it to our local library. Good story if you enjoy many subplots. Good story, but gets a bit involved with various characters and their misdeeds. Frankly, I could not wait to get to the real crux of the story. The book was translated from Italian and while a good job, found a few quirks in the translation. The Cost of Evil Well written and developed plot and characters. Both the immediate and long-term costs of disrespecting differences in people, politics are clear in The Deliverance of Evil. Th tensions built, holding my interest through the last paragraph. Solzhenitsyn, Pasternak, Lampedusa, And Now Costantini Roberto Constantini has written a murder mystery, a most enthralling one at that, and used it as a vehicle to illustrate, I hate to say it because it sounds so trite, life. Lest this review becomes as long as the book, suffice it to say that this story of a girl's murder and others that begin 20 years later, tells the story of the processes involved in the evolution of contemporary Italian politics, the descent of middle age, loss of innocence, morality compromised. Yet that being said, it is also a tear of a mystery. Its complexity makes for difficult reading until for me one third of the way through. Until that time I found the protagonist to be unpleasant and not very interesting. Yet Commissario Balistreri's personality and history becomes more and more interesting as the tale progresses. This is an epic murder spanning a twenty year period much like "Night of the Generals." Insightful beyond what the genre usually provides, it is unique. View it as a concoction of themes from popular pot-boilers such a clerical corruption, middle age pessimism, serial killers, sexual deviancy, unrequited love that transcend the genre of entertainment and approaches literature. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/Deadly-Crimes-Audiobook/B01MYXZKC4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: 4.5 rating.Strong,sexy, smart,(DCI) Police .Woman Would you consider the audio edition of Deadly Crimes to be better than the print version? The reader was terrific at voices and creating each character. Sophie, main character, is almost too good to be true. But I loved it. We need more female characters like this. The story was exciting, involving a White Slave Trade in Europe. It is more of a problem than we realize. Young women from Romania, who are smart and ambitious pay trafficers to take them to the UK where they can go to school and work in the hospitality field. However, unknown to the girls and their families, the trafficers have a difference type of hospitality in mind. Good story, not depressing, but informative. What did you like best about this story? The main character, Sophie. This could be a very heavy subject, criminals who are ruthless and cruel. The authors handles the subject so that we are more aware of this issues and it prevalence, but does not "hit us over the head with it." Not depressing. What about Cat Goulds performance did you like? Her ability to handle accents, her voice to express emotion and tension. A Very Good Narrator. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? I cant think of one. Any additional comments? I can't wait got the next book in this series. Interesting And Distinctive Second Series Volume Would you consider the audio edition of Deadly Crimes to be better than the print version? Yes. The narrator made the printed story come alive, What other book might you compare Deadly Crimes to and why? This was a combination mystery and justified family revenge story. Like Rebekka Martinssons role in Asa Larssons Sun Storm (the first series volume, which is on Audible as well). What does Cat Gould bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? She is very good as a voice actress/actor. A member of both SAG and AFTRA. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? Taking sisterhood and rough justice a step beyond what you might expect, to create a unique ending. Any additional comments? Looking forward to volume three, to see what new surprises await. Ok Story, Terrible Narrator. Liked the plot. Didn't connect with the main character - likely due to the zombie-like inflection of the narrator. Seriously ruined the ability to suspend disbelief. Worst narrating ever!!! The worst accents since Dick VanDyke attempted cockney Good story ruined by an appalling reader. Characterisation clunked, not one regional accent could be identified as normal with the strange exception of Australian , which surfaced quite often. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/Jasmine-Audiobook/B078RQGSF3 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

The Chief gave her Det Tracy, wonders if he will work out. Everywhere she goes they ask "where's Harry" wonder if that's how it's going to be. Day end, she goes to Harry's, nice way to end a hectic day Love his books, and his style of writing. This has a nice flow with a woman having the lead. Looking forward to more in this series. Hopefully more also with what Harry as a PI is doing. hoping for book 2 liked this book and just went looking for next. this is a character i would like to learn more about. Kate has grit Blair Howard does it again! As with all the Harry Starke books, this one featuring Kate Gazzara, Harry's former partner, is a real page turner. I hope that there are more Kate novels to come. Jasmine I loved this book about Kate's perspective and her case so far. The only thing I didn't care for was the reference to Amanda and Harry. This was supposed to take place before Amanda came into Harry's life It's best to start Blair Howard's book series' at #1.

Members Reviews: Hopeâs Peak PD) the fetus is doing just fine. Detective Gerry Ramirez (60+ Hopeâs Peak, NC. What was William âBillâ Marshall (retired Hopeâs Peak PD Detective), discussing with Captain Frank Morelli (husband/father, Hopeâs Peak PD)? Dr. Kandy tells Detective Jane Harper (expectant mother, Hopeâs Peak PD) the fetus is doing just fine. Detective Gerry Ramirez (60+, Hopeâs Peak PD), Albert âAlbieâ Goode (Forensics, gay), Mike McNeil (ME), Kara (Mikeâs asst.), were at the crime scene. Captain Morelli had been gunned down. Detective Lizzy Freehan (Hopeâs Peak PD acting captain) arrived shortly after. As Detective Harper heard/watched in horror Bill Marshall is shot/killed. Detective Dempsey (IA officer) & Detective Sinclair (IA officer) are doing the allegation cases of corruption that have occurred in the Hopeâs Peak PD department. Captain Lizzy Freehan (50+) is present. Mayor Hal Crenna was making the public statement about the death of Captain Morelli. Will the murders be solved & someone brought to justice? Warning: This book is for adults only & contains extreme violent or graphic adult content. It may be offensive to some readers. I did not receive any type of compensation for reading & reviewing this book. While I receive free books from publishers & authors, I am under no obligation to write a positive review. Only an honest one. A very awesome book cover, great font & writing style. A very well written cop thriller book. It was very easy for me to read/follow from start/finish & never a dull moment. There were no grammar/typo errors, nor any repetitive or out of line sequence sentences. Lots of exciting scenarios, with several twists/turns & a great set of unique characters to keep track of. This could also make another great cop thriller movie, or better yet a mini TV series. A very easy rating of 5 stars. Thank you for the free author; Thomas & Mercer; Amazon Digital Services LLC.; book Tony Parsons MSW (Washburn) Storms edge This is the second book on the series. The first was not great as I reviewed before but I was curious as to whether or not Healey`s writing had improved. It hasn't changed and this time the story line was not as good. In addition, more of the solution depended on Ida`s talking with the dead which I don't like at all. That addition is worse than coincidences being used. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/Whiskey-for-Breakfast-Audiobook/B00GR9HSWG Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Addison is a hot mess (in a good way) Read from December 03 to 04, 2013 Listened for Fun (Audible) Tracking Books Read Review (Short) Overall Rating: 4.25 Story Rating: 4.00 Character Rating: 4.50 Audio Rating: 4.00 (not part of the overall rating) First thought when Finished: Whiskey for Breakfast was another entertaining listen that had me giggling. OMG that ending! Overall Thoughts: Oh Addison! She is hands down one of my favorite hot messes of all time. This gal just can't seem to do anything in a traditional sense and that leads to some romping good times. This is the 3rd book in the series (I think they can all be read stand alone but you miss some character development) and the characters are still as entertaining as ever. It takes a village to help Addison crack a case (stay out of trouble) and her village rocks. I was glad to see a resolution to the love triangle even though it was another loss for me in the "character picks the other guy" lotto. The case wasn't the strongest in the series but it was still fun to follow. Liliana just knows how to entertain and make you grin! Audio Thoughts: Narrated By Connie Ventress / Length: 7 hrs and 59 mins I waited months for the audiobook to come out because Connie is Addison to me. This is one of those series that will forever be an audiobook buy for me as long as Connie is doing the narration. She has fun and quirky down to a science! Final Thoughts: Can't wait for the next one! I mean the ending alone made my jaw drop :) Great Book! This is the best book in the series. I look forward to the next book. -groans- I soooooooo love this series!! What made the experience of listening to Whiskey for Breakfast the most enjoyable? The performer has a fantastic voice! What other book might you compare Whiskey for Breakfast to and why? All the books in this series! Which scene was your favorite? "I've never had sex with someone who looks like a superhero before. You think he has special powers in bed?" Just hilarious! If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? Savage and his sox's! Any additional comments? Hands down, one of the best reads in this genre for me. Typical whiskey bayou story Needs editing just like the second book to cut out double lines. Entertaining and love to listen to these books on the car problematic, yet enjoyable Where does Whiskey for Breakfast rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? Somewhere in the middle, with both positive and negative aspects. Would you be willing to try another book from Liliana Hart? Why or why not? Yes. The humor saves it. Did the narration match the pace of the story? Yes, the narration works well though she repeatedly mispronounces 'wizened', which drove me nuts. Any additional comments? The lifting of plot and characters from the Stephanie Plum novels is certainly problematic. The 'surprise ending' could be seen coming a mile away. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/Palm-Beach-Nasty-Audiobook/B06XR3R4WQ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Any additional comments? Loved this story. Fun, tight, unexpected, engaging. I want to follow these characters wherever they go! Really enjoyed it.. OK, let me start by saying I almost didnt get this book because of the name. Usually if a book has the word nasty in it nine out of ten times its an erotic book, or porn. But I decided to go with it since it was called a Charlie Crawford Mystery. I'm glad I did get it. I admit I was confused for a while, wondering why Nick was even part of this book since he didnt have a thing to do with the dead guy, Darryl Bill, or any bad guy. But then later on he was mixed into the story and I was no longer confused, I was excited to see what would happen next to all the players. The bad guy, Jaynes, was some kind of idiot. He was a Billionaire and too stupid not to kill someone? Unbelievable!! And the other two were only interested in killing to make a name for themselves. Oh, and there was Nick, too. He just thought way too much of himself. I did like the main players, though: Charlie, Dominica, Ott and Misty. The boss was somewhat of an idiot. BUT I loved Alcie. He was an awesome character. There was NO SEX in this book, (so it wasnt Nasty,) and the F-bomb was used 65 times. The word said was used 885 times in this 288 page book, thats a lot. But other words were used enough for it not to be quite so annoying. As to the narration: HmmmI liked him a lot then I didnt like him at all. His mens voices were simply fabulous but his womens werent worth a damn. Fortunately, there werent that many women in the book. I would definitely listen to him again. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/Wicked-Prey-Audiobook/B002UZL3HC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Throwing a big party is supposed to be fun, but crashing the party are a few hard cases the police would rather have stayed away.

Members Reviews: Always great. No matter which series one reads, Sandford never disappoints. The plots are exquisitely intricate, the dialogue is so spot-on that about half a dozen times each book I read a passage to my wife, the character development for each major and most minor characters is satisfying , and something that is very important to me, you could pick up any of the books as your first experience with the author and he will fill in enough of the back story that you don't feel like you are missing something. Sandford is in my personal pantheon along with Michael Connelly, Thomas Perry, Lawrence Block, and the late great Robert Parker and Lawrence Sanders. Great book. Sandford a master of running paralell plots, eventuly drawing the connection. Lots of suspense and action. Hard to put it down. Five Stars I am now afraid to going to St. Paul/mpls after reading the prey books, but keep reading them A Mystery JS at his excellent best. There are some talented mystery writers today and at any given time one or two of them are contending for the top. It's the same with this work.....ER Good read Like all of the PREY series, John Sandford has yet to disappoint me in plot and characters https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/Alaska-Justice-Audiobook/B002V0QEYS Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

After a little while I became interested and began to think this was not fiction but based on a real troopers life experience. It is very well done and I only found out at the end it is fiction based on real events. It held my interest though and I am not sorry I downloaded it, so four stars. A wonderful read As a pilot who has flown in Alaska, I enjoyed tremendously the author's depiction of his flights into remote areas of Alaska. They are accurate and represent the flying that is done there every day. His police activities also sound true to life. An interesting facet is his finding a 9 mm pistol is probably inferior to a 45 in ending the threat of an attacker laced with illegal stimulants. I've looked for other books by this author but have found none. Hope you will be adding more. Hard to stay focused on story What made the experience of listening to Alaska Justice the most enjoyable? The story was interesting but found I kept wondering while listening to book. More my fault than the book or Narrator, but did affect my pleasure of the story. I will have to try more audiobooks to find out if I really enjoy them. This book was exciting in its own rite--I wondered if the main character was going to live through it! Well worth the time to check out Mr. Kincaid's following books. A great tale to be told I appreciate M. D. Kincaids simple rythmatic story telling techniques. A simple tale that had me sitting up at night to hear more. A natural! Reem McColm timbre makes the words blend into a tale. Excellent. Terrible pronunciation Being a local Alaskan, this reading frustrates me terribly when the narrator cannot pronounce many of the Village names. But none the less. It's a great story. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/The-Naming-of-the-Dead-Audiobook/B01LDUIQAQ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: I love living in Rebus' world I can't believe that each book gets so much better. With the G8 Summit in Scotland, Rebus and his coworkers are stretched pretty thin. Multiple murders to solve, clooty wells, and Siobhan's hippy parents add more drama. This was a great story. The ending left many threads open-ended. Awesome narration! I didn't want it to end! Where does The Naming of the Dead rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? Recently? It's #1. I've read all the John Rebus novels but long enough ago that I'm enjoying them anew - provided James McPherson is the reader. Everything is worth paying attention to. Any additional comments? Rankin's dry wit is far more evident when his books are read by McPherson. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/Last-Seen-Wearing-Audiobook/B0036GMMYW Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

It wasnt pleasing and it would skip every other sentence of the book Sloppy story good reader I love the voice of Kevin Whateley but this story was a bit of a disaster, it seemed like there was a new hypothesis for the murders about twice each chapter and nearly all hinged on this woman or that having a false identity and the ending was totally unsatisfying. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/What-You-Dont-Know-Audiobook/B01MY57BB9 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Fear Not, Mystery Connoisseurs As the final curtain draws near on the alphabetic adventures of Kinsey Millhone, Liz Boyle quietly enters stage right in a triumphant debut from the Flats of Cleveland. The author's given us a strong, dedicated, snarky, super-bright, conflicted and self-doubting, astoundingly competent and complex heroine working the city's most difficult cases--ones the regular detectives pass over as too difficult or too political or too sensitive or too weird. The voice is as easy on the inner ear as listening to yourself talk to yourself, and the pace is off the hook, seriously. I could not put The Flats down and read it in one go. (I also did not WANT to put this down, so I didn't, and it proved to be very good use of a Sunday afternoon/evening.) I HIGHLY recommend this really enjoyable read, and I can't wait for the next one! Brava, Ms. Birdsall! #GetLizaGirlfriend Full honesty: Iâm not one for detective mystery novels. But I picked this up because I figured anything Kate writes has to be good and was not disappointed. This book is a great read that doesn't fall to the tropes of the genre. I was engaged the whole way through and came to know and love this punk rock detective. (Casual queerness is also always a plus.) Kept me up WAY past my bedtime! Thoroughly enjoyed meeting Boyle and following her on this journey to uncover the truth. It was suspenseful, had the perfect touch of dark humor and all of the twists and turns kept me riveted. Satisfying Murder Mystery 3.5 Stars Many thanks to the author / Red Adept Publishing / Netgalley for the advance digital copy of this crime thriller. Opinions expressed here are unbiased and entirely my own. Detective Liz Boyle and her partner Detective Tom Goran are called to investigate the murder of a child. There is nothing so hard to see when a young life is snuffed out needlessly. And no parent can bear that kind of news. The detectives work endlessly to solve this case. But it's only when someone close to Boyle is deemed a suspect. And then someone targets Boyle. What is her connection to this case? And why would someone take a life to get her attention? Then, another body is found. This is the debut book of this author and the first of what I hope will be a continuing series. Boyle has issues ... and is seeing a therapist as a condition to keep working and not be tied to a desk. Tom is a great partner. He and his wife look at Boyle as a member of their family. He is always there for her .. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/Before-He-Covets-Audiobook/B06XBT26C9 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Zuiker; (P)2009 Penguin Members Reviews: People are being way too harsh... I really liked this book. I will admit that I enjoy my share of Koontz, Patterson and Coben, however. I was really in the mood for a book that wasn't too, too deep (you know the kind...the ones you put in your living room to make yourself look intelligent) and this definitely fit the bill. Everyone is reviewing it as terrible. Listen, the genre is what it is. I loved the narration and I was in the mood for the gore. If you don't like books like that don't read this one. Don't crucify it, though, for not being a crappy romance novel. It's good. Obviously he left it open for a sequel. When it comes out, I'll read it. Cyber-bridges give creepy depth Level 26 is a cross-platform experience; it's a book backed up by some wickedly creepy online content. Honestly, though, without the cyber-bridges, I probably would have given this book only three stars. The book was created by the same guy who created the CSI television shows, and since I tend to like dark, gritty fiction, I liked this very much. That said, there wasn't a lot of character development, and everyone fits neatly into one little box; the good guys are all good, and the bad guys are bad, and the government is shadowy and cruel. If you like books that are both creepy and gory, you'll like this. If you like police procedurals, you probably won't, because it requires a very strong suspension of disbelief, both in the abilities of the antagonist and the ham-handed attitudes and overall incompetence of law enforcement. This book is the gory equivalent of chick-lit; light in plot and character development, heavy in timekilling fictional fun. I enjoyed the book and the online content VERY much, and look forward to the sequel. Awesome This new book experience was awesome. I loved the narrator. I loved the book and logging in to the 26 community to watch the video. I really like the community. The contests, the fun people. Anthony Zuiker is to be commended for his new innovation. Try the LEVEL 26 experience. You won't regret it. My First Review! This story angered me so much that I felt obligated to write this. Between the irritating background sound effects and the 'cyber bridges' I felt like I was robbed. I couldn't hear a lot of what Mr. Glover was saying over the irritating and superfluous sound effects (a huge disservice to an excellent reader), and then I get to something like "if you want to know what happened, go to this web page and watch a video". https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/Bellows-Falls-Audiobook/B06X6JZQDW Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

It comes very close to achieving a five star rating. It is an excellent suspense mystery. Not his strongest I usually love his books, but this one was not his best.

Members Reviews: Second novel better than first This second entry in the detective Macy Greeley series was a more intelligible and cohesive novel. The reader was good at accents and at emotions; however I wish she would have paused a bit longer between sections. The sections ran together and often made me pause to try to understand where I was. I am not a fan of lavish descriptions of nature but if you are you won't be disappointed by this author's style. The time jumps that were presented in the first novel were fewer in this one. The story gelled together much better and parts of the mystery actually kept me guessing until the end. I liked this story much better than the first. Great story but annoying reading I enjoyed the story, but at times the awful fake southern accents made it almost unbearable to listen to. It detracted from the story rather than enhancing it. It was ok as long as the reader wasn't doing voices for the characters from Georgia, but I had to force myself to keep listening when she did. Good Read A good murder mystery without all the gory details. Characters have mixed up and messy lifes. Will she stay with him or move on to the local sheriff? Solid book Good story line. Good performance. A few nice twists. Very interested in the next case of detective Macy Greely. EXCELLENT: NEW FAVORITE AUTHOR I am super excited to have a new author to follow---hurry with more!!! Worth every minutes of time spent listening and good enough I am going to purchase it to read again in book form! https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/Eight-Black-Horses-Audiobook/B00TRH6Y98 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Detective Steve Carella would be one of the first to find out, but only after he discovered that the Deaf Man was impersonating him, which leads to more violence. Now Carella and his fellow officers must face down the Deaf Man in a lethal confrontation - one more surprising, shocking, and explosive than anything the cops of the 87th Precinct have ever experienced.

Detective Steve Carella would be one of the first to find out, but only after he discovered that the Deaf Man was impersonating him, which leads to more violence. Now Carella and his fellow officers must face down the Deaf Man in a lethal confrontation - one more surprising, shocking, and explosive than anything the cops of the 87th Precinct have ever experienced. Eight Black Horses is an inventive, tightly woven 87th Precinct novel - and it's Ed McBain at his incomparable best.

Members Reviews: I love this series! Truth is, I'd read most of them before I realized they were now available as audiobooks. Didn't stop me at all -- listening would just allow me to enjoy the stories again, in a different format. The characters didn't sound quite like I'd expected them to -- I didn't expect that Sheriff Salcido would sound quite as ethnic as he does. But after a couple of hours, it was fine. That WAS the way the Sheriff talked! The fun thing about them is that they start so slow... just an average working day, some little thing takes place, but you never have any clue that it's going to get as complicated - and interesting -- as it does. It's just a delight to watch the story unfold, something else happens, which makes something else happen. Before you know it, you've got as much white-knuckle activity as any book in the world -- but its all real people, the kind of people you know and interact with every day. In terms of building believable characters, no one beats Steven Havill. One Perfect Shot is a good book to start with, because you get to meet Estelle Reyes, who comes to star in the series a few books down the line. She has to be one of the most interesting of police procedural characters in any contemporary fiction. She's intense, powerful, but in her own way. There's no bravado for her -- just sheer intelligence and quiet determination. You'd think that a lot would be made out of the fact that Reyes is a female cop in a very traditional male-dominated culture in rural New Mexico, but there isn't. Which is as it should be -- for all of her attractiveness and quiet grace, it would never occur to Reyes that she should have any advantage -- or any disadvantage, either -- because she's a woman. She just does what she does, and does it very well. An admirable character. Oh -- and one other thing: you'll soon learn to develop a taste for smothered green chili burritos. I actually have never had one -- not available in Israel, where I live. I'd never heard of such a thing until I started reading these books. But I looked it up, saw pictures, read about them, and now, every time Bill Gastner sits down to eat one -- breakfast or any other time -- I start to drool. That must be a really fine thing to eat! Some day....

By that time I was bored with all of her characters. They were all stereotypes from the villainous property owner/ crime boss, to his vapid clotheshorse of an adulterous wife, to the spoiled, foul mouthed daughter. Then there was DS Allie Shenton who started out pretty interesting until I realized that her initial stumble because she was wearing high heels meant that I was going to have to listen to descriptions of her trying on clothes rather than doing much policing. Oh, and she is having lustful thoughts about the villainous property owner/crime boss. By the time I gave up, about an hour and a half into the book, there had also been six or seven sexual encounters of a rather dull and distasteful nature between various characters. I could have accepted that maybe this was some sort of an erotic mystery if the sex scenes had been more artfully done (and if there had been more than a hint that there was going to be an actual mystery). Oh, yes, and if they had been erotic. I couldn't ding the narrator too, hard given that she didn't have much to work with. I am so thankful that this was part of the Kindle Unlimited program because I didn't have to feel bad about giving up on this book and going on to something more entertaining. Very disappointing I was very disappointed with this book. I thought maybe the reviews we're exaggerated, but know I have to agree. The Detective sergeant acted so unprofessional, it made it hard to believe. The narration was great. Horrible narration and book.. This story is very confusing and there's so many characters that are either drunk or hung-over. Steph, who is hung-over, is banging Phil Kennedy, while her husband, Terry, is out of town, and Kirstie, her 17 years old daughter, who has spent the night doing cocaine, is giving her boyfriend a BJ before she hurries home, because Lee demanded that of her. Then Allie, the cop, goes home and and starts feeling up her husband and wanting sex, and, apparently, some chick, who was also drunk in the prologue, was killed outside the bar she staggered out of. AND according to the blurb the cop Allie begins to fall for the suspect, Terry, in the murder case. WTH? I can't finish this. I'm sorry! There's a lot of sex, in the part I read, and the F-bomb was used 184 times. As to the narrator: She was awful! Every man sounded just like a woman. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/Unpunished-Audiobook/B01MT4BTKD Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Just wasn't into this storyline. Maybe the next book will be better for me. Interesting main characters Good plot but disappointing motive. Enjoyed it but not inclined to purchase more of this particular series. Am very interested in the two main characters it not willing to slog through the extraneous plot line. Great book. Everything was great. Kept you on your feet. Everyone should read it. Gave the book 5 stars because of how good it was. Four Stars Great book Second book in A Gardiner and Renner Thriller series! Unpunished by Lisa Black is the second book in A Gardiner and Renner Thriller series. Maggie Gardiner is called out to the death of a copy editor at the Cleveland Herald. Robert Davis was found strung up from the printing tower platform. When the victim is brought down, it is obvious that Davis was murdered. Detective Jack Renner and his partner, Riley are assigned the case. Things are a little awkward between Maggie and Jack since Maggie discovered Jackâs secret (in That Darkness). Maggie collects the forensics while Jack starts questioning newspaper employees. Soon, though, a second victim is found strung up in his living room. Jerry Wilton, Director of Advertising, for the Cleveland Herald was also strangled. Unfortunately, the killer took things one step further with Wilton (it is gruesome). It looks like someone is targeting employees of the Herald. Then Stephanie Davis, Robertâs wife, is found murdered. What did she stumble across in her husbandâs belongings? Whatever Stephanie had discovered about her husband, it got her killed. Will Maggie and Jack be able to find the killer before there is another casualty. I had high hopes for Unpunished after reading That Darkness. I like Jack Renner and Maggie Gardiner. They have such potential as main characters. Unfortunately, Lisa Black did not bring them to life in Unpunished. Maggie did find out more about Jack in this book (which I liked). But, the relationship between Maggie and Jack did not have any spark. I found Unpunished to extremely slow paced. The author put in too many details about the newspaper industry. The book felt more like a monologue about how real newspapers are dying out and are being replaced by digital papers that focus on celebrity gossip (there was more, but I started skipping pages at this point). We also find out how newspapers are run and published (which makes for a very dull mystery novel). I give Unpunished 2 out of 5 stars. The book did not have any suspense, and the killer can be identified early in the story. The author did provide good clues (if you pay very close attention). https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/The-Winds-of-Change-Audiobook/B01MSJSLSB Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: A Good Book in the Series The twists and turns are good, there's a lot of jumping to conclusions that all work out in the story (the psychic Mr. Jury,) and the characters are interesting. You will probably see a bunch of it coming, but it's still a fun read. A Good Book I read the reviews on this page when I bought this book, something I seldom do. I bought it anyway, since I'm rereading the old and catching up with the new Martha Grimes Jury books. I've got to say, this was a very good book. Yes, it was a bit hokey -- dog as deus ex machina -- but there's far less quantum theory than some reviewers found. She's still a good writer and this plot is as good as any of hers or anyone's. So don't believe everything you read -- if you like Grimes, you'll like this one. I enjoyed reading the books the second time in order I have reread all the (Richard Jury Mystery) books by Martha Grimes since Jan 1. This book was book 20 in the series. I enjoyed reading the books the second time in order. Will miss Jury if the series ends. Five Stars Delivery and product as promised. No problems.

Between a highly successful cat burglar and a hippie crucifixion, the 87th Precinct definitely doesn't need the Deaf Man showing up again - especially since his two previous appearances resulted in blackmail, murder, and general havoc. But at least they have him now...unless he had them first. The Deaf Man can hardly contain his glee. Detective Steve Carella is about to inadvertently help him rob a bank. Each day he mails Carella a picture to keep the game going. The first two are pictures of J. Edgar Hoover while the next ones involve George Washington. All are clues, obviously. But how do they add up? And will the 87th Precinct find out before the Deaf Man has the last laugh? A tough, taut, and hilarious mystery, Ed McBain's classic novel will captivate a new generation of police procedural fans. Members Reviews: Could bear only 10 minutes of this... The narrator is the worst. Cannot imagine how he got through an audition. The book might be great, dunno. great reviews I read were for the book, not Audible, my mistake. Total waste of my listening time. Have absolutely no interest in knowing anything further about this character. Wish I could ask for my money back.

But I could do without every one of these crime stories having so much sex in them we all know what it's like to have sex I don't think it needs to be explained so in-depth in a crime novel. very difficult to listen to these stories while I'm driving with my ten-year-old. Great detective novel with bad narration! I've reviewed the other San Francisco Detective Jane Candiotti novels by Clyde Phillips. Sacrifice is Book 3 of the 4 book series. It is the best novel in the series. Candiotti works to solve two seemingly unrelated murders, one of a billionaire and the other of a homeless man. Angela Dawe narrates and her narration is horrid as always. As with all Dawe narrated books I recommend getting the Kindle ebook version. Horrible Narration The story "may" have been good...BUT the narration was so annoying that I could not complete listening........ugh ! Ahhhhh! I'm sorry but I absolutely can not get pass the way she narrates. For heavens sake stop dragging your words. There's no way you actually speak like that. Geesh! Great story Interesting writer. Many plot twists. Narration well done. Awaiting next book to be narrated.

It's May, and the snow has hardly melted in Goteborg, Sweden, but things are heating up quickly for Detective Inspector Irene Huss. The staff of the Violent Crimes Unit is stretched thin, with everyone on edge as they race to solve two murders amid the city's ongoing gang violence. Soon Irene and her colleagues are on a hunt that pulls them into the world of anonymous online predators. One of Soho Crime's best-selling series. This latest installment is translated by critically acclaimed literary translator Marlaine Delargy. Irene Huss is an everywoman - a hardworking wife and mom with grouchy teenage daughters to worry about - but she's also a small-town superhero, a martial arts champion, and an intuitive detective. Critic Reviews: "As good as Louise Welsh's similarly creepy tour of Glasgow." (Entertainment Weekly) "These days Scandinavian crime writers are thick on the ground. It's nice to see that the women can be just as bloodthirsty as the men."

One of the last Irene Huss episodes to air on MhZ was loosley the main plot of this novel, but I still enjoyed it. The secondary plot was also very good (and I especially loved that the characters had been students at Uppsala University!!!!!!). https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/The-Lucky-Ones-Audiobook/B0714135GZ Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Good suspenseful mystery Enjoyed another Mark Edwards novel. I had it on audio book so missed a couple of chapters in the beginning. I would suggest reading this book as I did not like the narrator AT ALL! Talked too fast and ran sentences together! But Edwards leaves you hanging until the end as always! Good story, but not special I listened to several Mark Edwards mystery/thrillers as well as several he coauthored with Louise Voss. Edwards should stick with his coauthored novels because they are much better. Superb ending story was a little disjointed. made it hard to follow. eventually the relationship among the characters becomes clear. then there is an unexpected twist. that twist made me give the story two extra stars Another Good Story by Edwards I like every single one of Mark Edwards books. I also really like the books he co-wrote with Louise Voss. These kinds of stories are what I enjoy reading most. This story was a typical Mark Edwards novel- it keeps you on edge and wondering who the killer is. The stories can be a little bit predictable but there were some surprises in this one. The motive for the killings in this story were particularly different/unique, so that gave it some originality. Overall, the book was a good read (hard to put down). For those who like Edwards, you will definitely enjoy this book. Its not the best book hes written, but its pretty darn good and I enjoyed it. Twisted! I enjoy all of Mr. Edwards books! I was sure that I knew who the killer(s) were but as usual I was wrong. This was a great read. I'm looking forward to the next book. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/Fallen-Into-the-Pit-Audiobook/B0031KLU1O Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

( The Reading Lamp) Members Reviews: A peek into an earlier time. This book was written in 1951. Sometimes when I read a modern novel which takes place in an earlier time, I wonder how close the author's imagination has come to what the reality would have been in that time and place. In this book, I didn't have to wonder about that; the author knew this time and place intimately. The book is set in rural England in 1951, and that was a very different world from the one we are living in now. This was a time before television and long before personal computers or game consoles were invented. In that world, bunches of kids get together with one another after school and play outdoors for hours--until dark. They range great distances from home without all the fear of strangers that is so ever-present today and without the need to have their parents drive them here or there. It left me feeling very nostalgic. The victim of the crime was a very unpleasant person which means that there were plenty of suspects available for us readers to sort through. There were several people who were very viable subjects that I liked a lot and I was worried that when the crime was solved, I would feel bad because a good person was being put away for getting rid of a person who needed to be gotten rid of. And there were obscure layers of motivation that were not instantly recognizable. In short, I enjoyed this book a lot. In fact, I have already downloaded every book in the series which Audible offers. I wish they had them all. A great British Village Mystery! I thoroughly enjoyed this - the audio equivalent of a page turner. Great characters, great local color, very intriguing. I highly recommend this one. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/Service-of-All-the-Dead-Audiobook/B0036GMNNM Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Morse's long suffering assistant (from the TV series in Britain) does a superb job of narration. I shall definitely be getting all of the other dozen or so episodes in this series-since they remind me of home. My only gripe was the last 2 minutes which I found unnecessary but which did not detract from the actual ending to the case. Morse has never been known to be spontaneous in certain emotional areas.....enough said though. Listen to it now-you will not be disappointed! Kevin Whatley is a joy to listen to I love the Inspector Morse audio books by Colin Dexter and especially the ones that are narrated by Kevin Whately. I am a fan of all the different series---from Morse to Lewis to Endeavour. Kevin does an excellent job with all the different voices. I feel like I'm watching an actual episode of the show. Good job, Kevin! Excellent Where does Service of All the Dead rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? Another great Morse novel expertly read. Who was your favorite character and why? Once again Morse takes center stage as one the most interesting detectives in contemporary mysteries. Which character as performed by Kevin Whately was your favorite? Whately's performance of Lewis is of course definitive. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/The-Victim-Audiobook/B004JOT702 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Excellent drama, disappointing police work. I enjoyed all the characters, their contrast in wealth and education and the pride they took in their jobs. I also found the lack of cynicism refreshing for a police drama. And the humor, particularly the mayor's was unique and edgy. What I find lacking is the lack of detail in the police work itself. Nevertheless I flew the story and was only disappointed it ended with a whimper. The Victim Another great book from Griffin. The whole badge of honor series is well written showing Griffin's dedication to details and his knowledge of his subject Again & Again!! I never tire of going back to this series for a reread! The characters are great and I love the setting in the early books, 1970's Philadelphia. Growing up in the 70's, I like the setting because it reminds me how things were, especially never being able to get in touch with someone. Life before cell phones. There is a grittiness in the books that comes with the time and Griffin captures the feeling of big city 1970's turmoil. Michael Russotto is also one of my favorite narrators. Some of the characters have similar dialects by Russotto, but his voice is great for the setting and characters. If you like Griffin's other books, you love this series. Satisfyingly unsatisfying With his ever present minute attention to detail, Grifin spins a take of multiple murders and a wounded socialite. The details of the inner workings of a large metropolitan police department's day to day activities and the political pressures placed on high ranking officers keeps the reader's attention. The ending is both concise and incomplete, unfortunately mirroring the probable reality of real police work. One hopes that the next novel in the series answers the unresolved questions. ceylon mckinnis hemet, ca love and recommend this book to read allot. i was sorry for penny with her drug addiction. wonder if her matt are going to get together? love everyone in the story. even though we knew peeny was the victim in this story. i really wish i could have given it a five star instead of four for the overall of the the story. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/The-Lamorna-Wink-Audiobook/B01JJD1TO4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Love Melrose Because I am a great Melrose Plant fan, this is my favorite of the Jury series. (Full disclosure - Richard Jury has begun to really bore me) The characters, the interactions and the atmosphere of the story remind me of Grimes early books in the series and remind me why I loved the series in its earlier days. Since for me Plant is by far the most interesting character in the series, this book with its limited appearance by Jury (who seems less suicidally depressed than in some of later books) is almost perfect. If only the rest of the Long Piddleton gang had been part of the story, I would have been totally in heaven. The narrator is fine. The voices fit fine with the voices I had in my head when reading the novel. Depressing I usually love Martha Grimes, but this book was not enjoyable I do not recommend it Needs More Drury What did you love best about The Lamorna Wink? Some of Melrose Plants' history was revealed. Who was your favorite character and why? Richard Drury because he helped move the story along. What about Steve Wests performance did you like? He sounds like Richard Drury and Melrose Plant to me. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Members Reviews: OUTSTANDING so great to have the gang back. I was afraid I wouldn't enjoy it because I enjoyed the first series so much. But this is great. New mysteries, new FBI ways of doing things, new characters. I was really waiting to find out what was happening with Peyton and Marco - the direction is challenging. And the case is so weird. The FBI team Peyton winds up on is really a cast of characters. I'm going to enjoy getting to know these people. An Awesome Listen I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the narrator and found it very entertaining and intriguing. This fast paced plot is supported by very unique and at times flawed characters. With more than one case being investigated, there is lots of action to follow. Between the well written characters and the suspense building plot you'll keep listening longer than you intended. Once your finished you'll be looking for the next book in the series. So happy Peyton's back What did you like best about this story? I like that old favorite characters are back, but also new ones in Peyton's team. I enjoy how she is moving on in her career, facing challenges. It feels realistic that she's adapting and finding her place in her new job. Love the story line with Marco as captain. It's a period of adjustment for everyone. It's like meeting old friends after a while and I really enjoy catching up with what's going on in their lives now. Which character as performed by Kelley Hazen - Storyteller Productions was your favorite? I always love how she portrays Peyton's attitude and wit. I find myself laughing or frowning with Peyton as the story progresses. Love it. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/Cold-Hearted-Audiobook/B01GVTF54Y Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Excellent Narration This was a decent enough story, not my favorite of the series. Erin was okay, there was nothing amazing about her and Darsh was just okay too. Nothing great about him either really. They were mediocre characters to be honest. The story line and plot was okay but I was missing the action like the previous books had. This was a small town murder mystery. The romance was okay, they liked each other well enough, but it didn't feel real or genuine. There was a couple sex scenes, nicely written. There was lots of dialogue throughout the book which I like. It wasn't a bad story, just not great, which is what I was expecting. As for the narration. Well, it's Eric Dove and you can't ever go wrong with an Eric Dove narration. He is fantastic. He does the women so good and everyone sounds different so you know who is speaking. He has a great reading voice and reads with emotion as called for. Love him! Great book and awesome narration.. I know Im just being ridiculous but.. DARSH? Really? WTH kind of name is that? Ive seen some strange names but thats one of the worst. Im assuming he got that name because he is Indian, although it was mentioned only 1 or 2 times, that he was Indian, so youd really never know it. Tall, dark and handsome was how he was described; his skin color mentioned once in the story, when he and Erin walked into a restaurant and a man looked at them strangely. Personally, I thought it was rather silly. Anyway, this was a very good mystery/romance, with lots of suspects to choose from. And I had no idea who the bad guy was until he was outed. I really like the second chance storyline with Darsh and Erin. But I also understood her skepticism about trusting Darsh, or any man. Wow, that ex-husband of hers really did a number on her in the end. Gave her something shed never forget. There were a couple (or three) sex scenes in this book, one right after another in a couple of places. And there was swearing, with the F-bomb being dropped 77 times. As to the narration: As always lately Eric Dove did a great job. He makes all the right sounds, laughing, crying, shouting, whispering. He just gets better with every book he reads. Cold Hearted Two lonely souls needing something g to believe in. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/Deadly-Secrets-Audiobook/B01M9I70YF Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

And to Gordon, a promise is a promise, even if the person you made it to isn't around anymore. However, doubts creep in, and he wonders if he was shoved into the job because his mentor thought he couldn't cut it on the streets. Everything changes when a fatal traffic accident well outside Mapleton seems connected to elderly Rose and Sam Kretzer, two of Mapleton's most beloved citizens. The arrival of Megan, the Kretzer's grown ward, and Justin, their grandson add to his troubles when Megan is mugged. In addition, Justin is renovating his grandparents' house despite their objections, and then someone breaks in and the house is ransacked. When Gordon ties the car accident to a grisly murder in Mapleton - the first anyone in town can remember - he's afraid he's into more than he bargained for. His fears are realized when his investigation seems to link the Kretzers to a Nazi war criminal. Can he work with the big-city detective brought in to assist? Will he be able to solve the crime without revealing the secrets of his citizens? Deadly Secrets revolves around a secret journal kept by a Nazi during WWII, and the lengths people will go to protect those they love. Set in a small Colorado community, Deadly Secrets deals with people trying to do what they think is right while protecting those they love. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Terry Odell) Thu, 03 Nov 2016 14:13:52 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/Deadly-Secrets-Audiobook/B01M9I70YF thebookvoice.com 10:31:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Not the tale I was looking for law-enforcement, family-dynamics, murder Seemed to trudge along rather tiredly. I just couldn't get engaged with the storyline. The characters are interesting, though. The narrator also seemed affected by ennui. A Cozy Mystery A murder has taken place in the small town of Mapleton, CO and it has the town on edge. The story revolves around Sam and Rose's link to the murder but it feels more about Justin and Megan. The world the author has imagined is every burned out, and over worked persons dream...small town with a very relaxed pace. The time and imagination taken to walk us through the characters lives was a refreshing change of pace for me. We do have a romance in the midst of the story but it doesn't dominate or distract from the mystery on hand. Steve Marvel does a wonderful job narrating the Mapleton Mystery! I really enjoyed how he brings each character to life! I hope for the future listeners sake that Odell keeps Marvel as her narrator for the rest of the books in this series. Great job to both of you! Not For Me The story started off pretty good. The characters seemed engaging and I thought I was settling in for a good book. My opinion changed in Chapter 12. I pushed on to chapter 13 but I stopped at that time. The story moved slow and I lost interest. It has potential, but, I think Terry Odell should decide if he wants to write a mystery or a romance. A great cozy mystery! A great cozy mystery with creative plot twists and characters, this book was a really enjoyable read! It contains hints of intrigue and a dark past. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/Night-Kills-Audiobook/B002V8MN1S Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Night Kills I really enjoy John Lutz stories and this one is a great listen. It is the third in a series(#1-Darker Than Night #2-In For The Kill). I always enjoy listening in order because of the character development. This story along with the others in this series really kept my interest peaked all the way through. Some of the story matter is a little rough but it is fast paced with great dialogue. The reader Scott Brick is one of the best and really adds wonderfully to the read. I give this one 5 stars. Grusome details good listen. good story. a little too grusome in the details. Night Kills Nice twisted ending. Quinn finds double trouble behind every corner. So far my favorite. Can't wait to start book number three! Not a listen not a bad listen. good characters, good story needed a little more detail on the investigation. One of a master's best! Any additional comments? This book is well crafted and performed. It engaged me early and kept me listening. I don't care for this format of review. I don't think it is on a par with the outstanding work to be reviewed. Of course, I may be incorrect. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/Above-the-Paw-Audiobook/B01MQQ4GW6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

(Kirkus) Members Reviews: Very little of Sejer, a whole lot of Eva For a the first Inspector Sejer novel, this book is very light on him, instead choosing to focus on Eva - a silly girl that makes dumb decisions that you don't really care about. If you are looking for a mystery from the point of view of the inspector, look elsewhere. Additionally, the performance is not very good, as the book is difficult to enjoy with the male narrator doing a horrendous job of any female part. Slow moving story... Slow moving story. I didn't like the narrator. Couldn't wait for it to end. At the end I was left with many questions. Character and Plot Never is Fully Formed What would have made Eva's Eye better? Stronger characters and plot. I never felt it got any deeper or developed as the story progressed. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/The-Cruelest-Cut-Audiobook/B071HJ8QZD Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: great book!! loved this book. I'm from Evansville and made it feel so real. great book for people from Evansville Predictable The plot follows the predictable line. The police department is struggling with strive at the top level. Of course, a serial killer makes the town his play area. Machinations in the police department began to use lack of progress in solving that case as a mean to demote the chief and fired the top detective. After the brief victory of the deputy chief, (called Double Dick) and mayor, their conspiracy begins to unravel and the killings escalates. There is the unscrupulous new reporter that will do anything, including sexual congress, to get a story and unfortunately becomes part of the story. Our hero, Jack, who is traumatized by a recent raid and divorce, is the typical hot head who insults everyone but gets the job done. He has the affable partner who smooths his edges and keep them both employed. The two women in Jacks life are his ex-wife and her friend. The women are friends and everyone is happy or are they? Eddie and Bobby are our diabolical killers, they were abused as children, and leaves nursery rhymes as clues. Their killings are savage, manic and for the most part well planned. For the savvy mystery reader, the relationship with the brothers is obvious if you notice the authors usage of certain pronouns. The police procedures are poorly executed. One of the first things a team does is to look at paroles to find someone who would have a grudge against Jack. The give that 5 minutes of talk but never do it. The databases are not connected with other agencies so finger prints and DAN samples could not be matched. The listeners endure hours of listening time while the team is lamenting about the lack of progress and clues. While there are all these inconsistencies it was an enjoyable read. Jack Murphy is the typical male detective; handsome, a disregard for authority, can get jobs done with his unorthodox methods, has the forever best partner; who understands him best, women to love but never in love, or the women he loves is unavailable, there will always be a gruesome murder that enrages him and sets him off Helter Skelter. The Jack Murphy's stories are too predictable for my credits. Stupid The plot is way too complicated for the villains portrayed. They could accomplish their intent soooooooo much easier, and they're just not smart enough to work the way the story says they do. Bit of a good ol' boy storyline too. Women are basically decoration or a way for the tough guy hero to show how good hearted he is... blah blah blah.

If you're New Mexico rancher Miles Waddell, you build a dream. A flat-topped mesa and a third of a billion dollars equals Nightzone Zone, an astronomy-based theme park, complete with giant radio telescope, a bank of smaller scopes linked to a theater, five-star dining in a restaurant with retracting dome ceiling, a hotel/resort, tram car access, and a narrow gauge steam locomotive to carry tourists to the mesa top. Glorious. And too ambitious for many residents of Posadas County. Waddell's dream begins to sour as one night two eco-terrorists make an opening statement by chain-sawing down power lines that feed the development. One of the terrorists is killed by a bucking power pole. From 20 miles away, former Posadas Sheriff William K. Gastner spots a pair of headlights as the dead mans companion speeds from the scene. Charges quickly include murder when the fleeing conspirator is stopped by a cop and guns the lawman down. Hours later a second shooting occurs when Gastner stops to assist Sgt. Jackie Taber during an unrelated traffic stop. Always the last to pull a trigger, the now 74-year old Gastner becomes the focus of a second investigation by the over-stressed District Attorney and Sheriffs Department. Meanwhile, Waddell's troubles with rumor-mongers and anti-government thugs continue. A tired Gastner is unwilling to work security for NIGHTZONE, but security has become essential. There is a bright spot: Gastners godson, 13 year-old Francisco Guzman. The musical prodigys conservatory has scheduled a double concert in Posadas, part of a national tour. Yet the timing of this stellar event could not be worse with the retired Gastner and the whole community tangling with lethal avengers and agendas. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Steven F.

Members Reviews: A Not To Be Missed Series This is the 21st in this series featuring Bill Gastner, Estelle Reyes-Guzman, her children and the individuals with whom Bill and Estelle work over a span of 20+ years. I have read all of them and have enjoyed these characters and the crime and crime solving activities as they occur in this area of Posadas County, New Mexico near the Mexican border. I am going to miss them unless the author, Steven F. Havill writes and publishes more. Mr. Havill has allowed the characters to change as they mature and deal with the daily events of their family and crime solving activities. I'm left wanting to know what happens to Bill Gastner as he is now in his late 70s, what happens with Estell Reyes-Guzman, her physician husband and their two children, one a child musical prodigy and the other a very talented young man, what happens with the major project that is underway near their community, and on and on. Top notch mystery, basted with western flavor Steven F. Havil had let his characters mature and age during the progression of this series. Bill Gastner, at 74, is retired, but he is still consulted by the force he used to head, the Posadas County Sheriff's Office. He is also still called Sheriff, a term of respect, by the people of the county. Serving as godfather to Estelle Guzman's two boys, one a musical prodigy, the other a budding junior architect, is a job he takes seriously. In this story, his two "careers" entertwine. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/Heartshot-Audiobook/B002V0QDBM Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

(Mystery Scene) Members Reviews: An Excellent Start This was my first Havill. It will not be the last. The plot was intelligent and well developed, the characters were real and likable, especially the crotchety under-sheriff hero. After the last mystery I read, I particularly appreciated the detective heroes not making a series of stupid mistakes (just that big one at the end). The novel is fairly short, at only 7 1/2 hours, and the body count was a little high for my taste, but I listened to it in one sitting, unusual for me, as the story held me all day. I'm already looking forward to the next one. A Believable Mystery Series! I've fallen for crusty old undersheriff Bill Gastner. Author Steven Havill has done a marvelous job of developing a believable and intruiging set of characters living in Posadas County New Mexico, and reader Rusty Nelson's voice perfectly embodies the gritty, gravelly sheriff who lives for his job. I'm working my way through the series and enjoying every opportunity to know the folks of Posadas a little better. Really fun read Love the narration and dry, small town banter. You have to suspend your disbelief a wee bit but it's totally worth it. I found myself wanting to meet Undersheriff Bill Gastner...! My first Bill Gastner Mystery I liked the main character, Undersheriff Bill Gastner, who was pushing almost the age of 60, being slightly over weight, not-too-fit, not-too-glamorous, and not-at-all-political. I also liked the setting in Posadas County, New Mexico. This was a good police adventure and the ending was very exciting! The story has a believable and enjoyable plot, many good characters and the narrator, Rusty Nelson, does a fine job. I look forward to reading the 2nd book in the Posadas County Mystery Series, "A Discount for Death." I can see Ole Bill Would you consider the audio edition of Heartshot to be better than the print version? Yes I think it may well be, as Rusty gives a brilliant believable performance Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How? No I don't think its that kind of book What about Rusty Nelsons performance did you like? The voice exactly matches the character and the attitudes he adopts. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Thats not my type of listen-- however I couldn't wait to go walking the following day. Any additional comments? Only that I have already bought No 2 in the series.

Title: The Dead of Winter Subtitle: A Piper Blackwell Mystery, Book 1 Author: Jean Rabe Narrator: Catherine Wenglowski Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 47 mins Language: English Release date: 04-18-17 Publisher: Auspicious Apparatus Press Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 20 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: In a deceptively peaceful county, a murderer hides in plain sight. Fifty-eight minutes into her first day on the job, 23-year-old Sheriff Piper Blackwell is faced with a grisly murder, the victim artfully posed amid decorations on his lawn. Drawing on former military training, Piper must prove herself worthy of the sheriff's badge, and that won't be easy. Chief Deputy Oren Rosenberg, Piper's opponent in the recent election, doesn't like her and wants her to fail. She doesn't like him either, but she needs Oren to help catch the killer before another victim is discovered. Too late! As Piper leads the manhunt, another crisis hits close to home. Her father, the previous sheriff, is fighting for his life, and she is torn between family and duty. Facing personal and professional threats, Piper has to weather a raging storm, keep the sheriff's department from crumbling around her, and reel in a killer during the most brutal winter sleepy Spencer County, Indiana, has ever experienced. Members Reviews: Start a new job with... murder...? Where does The Dead of Winter rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? It's one of the best audiobooks I've listened to so far. Not only is the story itself interesting, but it is also read brilliantly by Ms Wenglowski. Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How? The plot is great. It starts with a murder that shocks everyone around, then adds to it another murder, even more shocking, and then another... And there are also some undercurrents when it comes to the detectives working on the cases, with the new Sheriff in town that the older guys in her department don't really respect (yet), and with the competition among them as to who will catch the killer... It all creates a great mix and makes the book a really engaging read. Which character as performed by Catherine Wenglowski was your favorite? I really liked all of them:) The new Sheriff, Piper Blackwell, sounds young and inexperienced in her job, with a lot of doubts and yet a determination to be good at what she has undertaken... Chief Deputy Oren Rosenberg's inner monologues of how unfair the whole situation is with Piper being so young are both funny and irritating (as they should be:)); Piper's father, the former Sheriff, sounds exactly as he should - a tired elderly guy weakened by a fatal illness... There is not one character in the book that doesn't sound right... And it's really amazing as Ms Wenglowski in fact doesn't change her voice at all (or only very slightly) when reading the characters' lines... and yet I know exactly who is speaking and to whom, I catch their emotions, I follow the change in their moods, all that without any trouble:) I think Ms Wenglowski's interpretation of the book adds to it being such a good listen; she doesn't overshadow the plot and the story itself by trying to act out every single scene... For me, that is the perfect kind of narration:) Any additional comments? I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher. Enjoyable Whodunit That Kept Me Guessing I wasn't sure if I would enjoy this book, which takes place in a male dominated police station in a hick town, but I did. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/The-Disposable-Man-Audiobook/B071RMQ7H7 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Descends into chaos.... This entry from Mayor starts out well - Joe Gunther and his team find a body dumped in a place only someone with knowledge of the area could have left it with so little evidence to go on.... The body is hard to identify, clothing tags are ripped out - but there are distinct tattoos on the toes... Despite being warned off investigating the body dump, Gunther follows the leads. And his life is turned upside down. Soon Gunther is under suspicion... who has he crossed? But the promising beginning quickly descends into convoluted chaos. The people behind the crime are thinly written and cartoonish. The writing is hard to follow and motivations seem invented out of whole cloth instead of being able to be contributed to the characters. The long connection between Joe and Gail is tested which seems an unnecessary drag on that fragile relationship. An amateurish offering from someone as skilled as Mayor has proven himself to be ... Slightly off for the nusual Archer Mayor book Archer Mayor's Vermont detective Joe Gunther is a solid character and the Vermont environment has enough quirkiness and politics to tangle many investigations, but this particular book may have gone a little far. In The Disposable Man, Gunther gets entangled in a mystery designed to draw out retired spies and black-ops specialists, and involves relationships going back to cold war days. The plot is exciting, as usual, and the story is engaging, again, as usual. But there is something that catches the reader near the end, building to the finale, where the plot twists and turns somehow seem contrived. At least compared to Mayor's previous Gunther works. It's still a great read, and satisfying, it just falls slightly short of what the reader may expect from previous books in the series. The CIA and Russian mob in Vermont! I am reading the Joe Gunther series in order via Kindle Fire, this one being #9. If you have read some of the other Joe Gunther books, you will quickly recognize all of the characters on his detective team, and of course, his girlfriend Gail. This story as with the others is based in Vermont. The plot will take you from Brattleboro northwest to Newfane, then to Middlebury for a key piece of action, then north to South Burlington and finally to the climax in the Northeast Kingdom. Gunther takes one trip to D.C. where the possible involvement of the CIA comes into play. Add the Russian mob and you have quite a caper. This book ranks right there at the top of my Joe Gunther list. Another great read Another great Joe Gunther novel. They just keep getting better. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/No-Witnesses-Audiobook/B0085XEBYU Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

People are dying throughout Seattle - victims of a madman who is placing poisoned food in neighborhood supermarkets. But the criminal is intelligent: He writes the police chilling extortion letters, faxed directly from a laptop computer over public telephone lines, and retrieves his ransom electronically, through automatic teller machines in hundreds of locations around the city. And while he is a murderer, his crimes take place miles and often days away from his innocent victims' demise. How can you stop a criminal when there is no crime scene to study - and no witnesses?

This is the third in the Lew Bolt and Daphne Matthews police procedural series in Seattle. In this one, the two become involved in solving a case where Daphnes boy friend, the owner of a large food company with several stores, is being plagued by a product tampering scheme where the tamperer threatens, if the owner doesnt give up and file bankruptcy and commit suicide, to tamper with some of their food bringing about hundreds of deaths. And he has already managed to kill some innocent people first by putting cholera germs in chicken soup, and later by putting strychnine in food. This is an exciting book involving much cloak and dagger maneuvers in order to find the murderer, since there were no witnesses to his putting contaminated cans back on shelves. Each attack was previewed by a fax written in bad poetry warning that something was going to happen. Its really a very good case and Cummings does his usual good job with police procedurals.

Members Reviews: Martin Green does not disappoint This was simply a good book. Very little violence, no shoot outs, no foul language and no sex. I'd let my 11 yr old grand daughter read this book. Once again, we are taken into a drama that most of would never think about. Simply, just a new kid in school wanting to appear cool to the other kids, to gain acceptance. Starts off very innocently and quickly rolls into a page turner as Frances (the juvenile in the story) gets thrown into trouble at a facility for young offenders. And his troubles are only starting. He sees things that could cause many of the personnel to loose their jobs or face jail times themselves. Looking for Frances, his frantic mother contacts the office of the Innocence Project and before long, Dani finds herself knee deep while facing an issue she never imagined possible. Love the book. Love the narrator. If you are looking for a courtroom thriller, this is more of a courtroom drama. Best book I have listened to in a while. Can't wait for next book. Wonderful new legal thriler release in the... ... Innocent Prisoners Project series. Attorney Dani Trumball agrees to handle the case of a 12 year old boy, an honor student with no history of drug use, who is declared delinquent and sentenced to 4 months in a privately operated juvenile detention facility near his home in Florida for possession of two marijuana cigarettes. While there he is beaten badly by guards resulting in a severe spleen injury and several broken ribs. He escapes from the hospital and is captured and sold into human slavery. The questions that arise include why the judge issued such a severe sentence and does the detention facility meet state standards. But first he must be rescued from the human traffickers. First Offense is a complex novel that includes a lot of human interest. For example, the boy's older brother is in Marine boot camp and his father, a Marine Lieutenant Colonel, is missing in action and likely a prisoner of the Taliban. This legal thriller plays with the listener's emotions very nicely. First Offense is Book 4 in this 4 novel series. Tanya Eby does a fabulous job of narration if I overlook her mispronouncing our local city's name of Charlotte as shar-lot' repeatedly. Dani is amazing. I paid for the narration of the book I already received for free through kindle unlimited. I am so glad I did. I could hardly stop listening. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/The-Heckler-Audiobook/B00J545AI4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

After giving all the previous books in the 87th Precinct series 5 stars, I don't know where to go next. 5++? I really enjoyed this excursion, as Ed McBain continues brings different characters to the fore in this classic ensemble series. And there are some true laugh-out-loud moments (such as the diversion into defining a "slob"). On the audio version narrated by Dick Hill: others disagree, I know, but I reckon Dick Hill is brilliantly cast for this series. He really delivers what I think is a stellar performance that is absolutely in keeping with the sensibilities of the material. Yes, he goes over the top sometimes.

Members Reviews: Worst narrator EVER Would you try another book from Torquil MacLeod and/or Marguerite Gavin? I don't know about the author as I had to return due to the narrator. Her Scandanavian accents sounded Carribean and she has never stepped foot in Scotland or heard a Geordie accent. I was so confused within the first hour I had to give up Would you ever listen to anything by Torquil MacLeod again? I couldn't get beyond the lack of research. No English person would drink liptons tea and a northerner would always drink Yorkshire tea. Electric kettles are available in Stockholm....I know I lived there!..........research!! Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Marguerite Gavin? Someone who had at least visited the country the book was set in. Johnathon Keebler Any additional comments? Terrible awful narration Good story but the narrator should not try to do accents as a Glaswegian her attempts sounds more like bad Geordie I have struggled as far as chapter 6 What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you? Excruciating narration makes this difficult to follow. As a Scot with a long association with the north east of England I could only discern a touch of Ulster! Unfortunately the overall effect is to make the story incomprehensible. Has Meet Me in Malmo put you off other books in this genre? Definitely. Would you be willing to try another one of Marguerite Gavins performances? No. What character would you cut from Meet Me in Malmo? Unsexy fat journalists. Any additional comments? I will be returning this. Excellent thriller If you could sum up Meet Me in Malmo in three words, what would they be? Good Scandinavian story What was one of the most memorable moments of Meet Me in Malmo? The final few pages. What does Marguerite Gavin bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you had only read the book? Not having to strain trying to pronounce the Scandinavian names etc. Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? Not really but these sort of crime stories are always a satisfactory read. Any additional comments? Will follow the series without hesitation. Why the accents? Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? No, because the reading of it was so awful. Who was your favorite character and why? Anira How could the performance have been better? Please , please, please just read it, DON'T DO ACCENTS IF YOU CAN'T DO ACCENTS! The Scottish accent was awful, the Newcastle accent was awful. The Swedes sounded like they were Stephen Hawkins artificial voice or from Northern Ireland. Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? None Any additional comments?

( Booklist)"Another winner." ( Library Journal) Members Reviews: Death of a Macho Man As always, Davina Porter does an excellent job giving life to the characters in and the character of Lochdub. This isn't Beaton's best MacBeth, but it's nevertheless both intriguing and entertaining. If you are already a Haimish fan, you'll enjoy this. If you're not, you might want to start with an earlier book in the series so you can get acquainted with Beaton's wonderful characters in a more chronological fashion. It's a good story and, with Porter's excellent narrating skills, it's great fun to listen to. Beaton does it again! If you could sum up Death of a Macho Man in three words, what would they be? complicated charming mystery Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How? Great twist and turns till very end! Have you listened to any of Davina Porters other performances before? How does this one compare? yes, she does well with accents! Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Over couple of days. Any additional comments? Great job Ms Beaton! BAD NARRATION Bring back Shaun Grindell and Antony Ferguson. Thanks to Davina Porter, Hamish Macbeth no longer sounds like a Highlander; he sounds like a vampire. Great story, as always, though. Delightful distraction I enjoy a Hamish Macbeth mystery as a nice break from weightier stuff and I'm seldom disappointed. This seemed a bit longer than the others, but that was a minor issue, and otherwise it was another romp up in the Highlands. I particularly enjoy Davina Porter and I'm concerned that there is a new narrator being introduced to this series. He/she will have to go a long way to live up to Davina Porter's mastery of accents and ability to deliver a line. She's clearly one of those fine British actors that can do everything well and can squeeze the most out of every line. Highland Fling A fun, if a bit predictable, mystery. The Scottish Highland setting is the star of the story. Set in the early 90's Hamish MacBeth's problem learning to use computers, login disc's and 5" floppies, was a reminder of how quickly technology has changed. Davina Porter is my favorite narrator, so if you can't wait for the next Diana Gabaldon this will tide you over. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/A-Midsummers-Equation-Audiobook/B01BLU3EBO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: A Midsummer's Equation Subtitle: A Mystery Author: Keigo Higashino Narrator: P.J. Ochlan Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 38 mins Language: English Release date: 02-23-16 Publisher: Macmillan Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 74 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: Manabu Yukawa, the physicist known as "Detective Galileo", has traveled to Hariguara, a once-popular summer resort town that has fallen on hard times. He is there to speak at a conference on a planned underwater mining operation, which has sharply divided the town. One faction is against the proposed operation, concerned about the environmental impact on the area, known for its pristine waters. The other faction, seeing no future in the town as it is, believes its only hope lies in the development project. The night after the tense panel discussion, one of the resort's guests is found dead on the seashore at the base of the local cliffs. The local police at first believe it was a simple accident - that he wandered over the edge while walking on unfamiliar territory in the middle of the night. But when they discover that the victim was a former policeman and that the cause of death was carbon monoxide poisoning, they begin to suspect he was murdered, and his body tossed off the cliff to misdirect the police. As the police try to uncover where Tsukahara was killed and why, Yukawa finds himself enmeshed in yet another confounding case of murder. In a series of twists as complex and surprising as any in Higashino's brilliant, critically acclaimed work, Galileo uncovers the hidden relationship behind the tragic events that led to this murder. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Keigo Higashino) Tue, 23 Feb 2016 08:04:41 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/A-Midsummers-Equation-Audiobook/B01BLU3EBO thebookvoice.com 11:38:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Loved the twists Something that I love from Higashino is that the plot intelligent and not completely predictable as in all the Galileo series. The strength of this detective story is the constant twists and the down to earth setting that makes you focus on the how's rather than on the crime itself. If you are not familiar with the author you will find out that he does not need to fill the story with unnecessary gore and violence in order to make a compelling and interesting story. It's a whodunit mystery where you are presented with the stories of all actors; characters that can be real -not archetypes- and whose lives are affected by a murder You won't find action or crazy sociopaths here, instead you get a rather witty case where every twist confuses you a little and maintains your attention until the resolution. Great Mystery This one may be an acquired taste but I love Mr. Higashino's mystery novels. There is a certain clear prose (however it is best to let anyone reading that I love Japanese Literature translated to English) and an interesting mystery that is slowly revealed. There are some clues on the "how" but I only saw them in the end. The reader is very good, managing to give voice to different genders and ages without visibly thinning his voice. Very good performance. This one is highly recommended however it may come as dry to some. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/So-Long-As-You-Both-Shall-Live-Audiobook/B008RO8Z4E Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

What does a man drugged and slashed to death by an unknown assailant have to do with a woman felled by a fatal heart attack after learning her bank account had been plundered? The cases seem as different as their scenarios - late night in a tavern parking lot and early the next morning inside a bank. But a troubling theory soon unites them: Was the first crime's murder victim the second crime's mastermind? There's a case to be made for the connection between slain Iraq War vet Rafel Mazari and the bogus veterans' charity that robbed Molly Pershing of her money and her life. But Detective Wade Jackson and his homicide team have even more damning evidence against Mazari's wife - including a hypodermic needle and a scalpel. But when an identical murder claims the victim's best friend, Jackson suspects a motive darker and more devastating than infidelity, greed, or love turned lethal. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (L. J.

What would have made Long Time No See better? I have read almost all 87th Pct Police novels when they were first in print. Over time, after reading all the novels as they are published, I have created a minds eye view of all the characters. Much to my chagrin the narrator of this installment of the series bears no similarity to my mental image. The difference between what I have created in my mind, over the years, and what I hear on this download is completely incompatible. The voices I hear on the audio book bear no similarity to the voices of the characters I have created in my mind. So much so that after 5 minutes I could no longer listen to this audio book. As a born Brooklynite the accent is totally unrecognizable as from an Earthly city. What a waste of money! Would you be willing to try another one of Dick Hills performances? Never ever. What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment? Total disappointment. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/Come-Dark-Audiobook/B071SFBP77 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: Come Dark Subtitle: Posadas County, 9 Author: Steven F. Havill Narrator: Beth Richmond Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 16 mins Language: English Release date: 05-24-17 Publisher: Books in Motion Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 24 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: Posadas County, New Mexico, is in the news. NightZone, a mammoth astronomy theme park, is bringing in jobs, media, and such new infrastructure as a slick narrow-gauge railway to transport tourists from the village of Posadas to the tramway running up the mesa to the project's site. And the Posadas High School girls' volleyball team is on a hot winning streak, exciting everyone. But more news, not good, breaks. Volleyball coach Clint Scott has been found gunned down in the girls' shower room, the victim of four bullets, one fired nearly point-blank into his heart. Dead for hours, killed soon after the end of last night's game. And, last night, a homegrown Banksy had tagged both one of the railway cars and a section of NightZone's giant radio telescope dish. Then, apparently, this young artist began work on a section of wall outside the girls' locker room at the high school - a project that was clearly dramatically interrupted. With morning come two strange incidents. Stacie Willis Stewart, a former Posadas volleyball star, locks up her baby and Jack Russell terrier in her Volvo, walks away to local superstore The Spree - and disappears. A former teacher spots the child and dog before the heat can kill them. Deputy Tom Pasquale, in The Spree's parking lot, where he's spotted a suspicious Illinois plate on a Ford Fusion, watched it all. He then leads a fruitless search for her inside the store. No luck - but he does score a man with an Elvis haircut and his wife when they return to the Ford with stories that don't add up. The lead on the murder is Undersheriff Estelle Reyes-Guzman, who's still able to call on the retired former sheriff, Bill Gastner - a good thing, for she is surprised by the arrival of her piano-prodigy son, Francisco, age 15, in a sleek Corvette driven some 1,000 miles by an 18-year-old beauty, a cellist. Their goal: to join the 100th birthday celebration for Estelle's mother. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Steven F.

But I do not like Estelle and her perfect ways and her perfect family. And her narrators seem to make the stories longer (and more boring). Even the deputies are getting boring and perfect. I hope the author writes a Bill Gastner story from back when he was sheriff or under-sheriff; then bring back Rusty as narrator. Disappointing I have enjoyed all of the Bill Gastner and Posades County Mysteries but this latest in the series by Steven F Havill was a dull shadow of the previous books. All the normal characters were there but there was nothing compelling about the mystery, the interaction between the characters, the relationships that normally bring so much richness to the story I was bored and continually waiting for something to happen to bring the story to life. I hate to write a negative review about a book in a series I have found so entertaining and rewarding. I am currently sick and perhaps that colored my perceptions of the story. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/Rainbows-End-Audiobook/B0036ISPXM Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

A little bored. Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not? I gave this book a try because I like Ellis Peters' Cadfael series. It didn't quite live up to expectations. It was maybe too staid and English for me. I thought it neither thrilling nor twisty-turney enough. It may be that I like the Cadfael series better because of the historical novel nature. I like stories set in times with which I have not or little knowledge. Would you be willing to try another book from Ellis Peters? Why or why not? Probably Which scene was your favorite? Breaking through the wall. Did Rainbow's End inspire you to do anything?

Members Reviews: Twists and turns I really like how the author incorporates the mystery with the main character's personal life. So seamless. She also does a fine job of tossing out the breadcrumbs of the mystery to keep it going in different directions. Just enough action to keep the story at a nice pace. Most of all though I think I just like the author's voice. Four Stars Because I Like Irene, Even If The Series Is Losing Steam This is the seventh entry in the Detective Inspector Huss series, and is good enough to keep me on the alert for the eighth, due in English late this year. Irene Huss is still an engaging character. Indeed, I find more and more that her personal and family life is what keeps me reading, rather than the mystery. This time, Irene's daughters are leaving home, her mother is failing, her husband has had to cut back his work, and her dog is not well. She, however, continues to manage, and to remain relatively cheerful -- a bright spot in the general gloom of Swedish policiers. The mystery this time involves trafficking in young women, corruption, and a nearly fatal trip to the Canary Islands. The book may not be as gripping as the first two books in the series, but it is still a good solid detective story. Another good Irene Huss investigation Because I had some other things going on, I set reading aside for a little while. It was only after I picked up Helene Tursten's "The Beige Man" that I realized how very much I missed reading about Sweden and following Irene Huss' criminal investigations and the changes that are coming to her family as her daughters grow up and move on. The focus of "The Beige Man" is European sex trafficking and the murder of a very young girl caught up in its horror. The investigation once again takes Irene Huss out of her Swedish homeland... this time to warm and sultry Tenerife... where she is almost killed in a shootout between two rival gangs. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/The-Tangled-Lock-Audiobook/B0773V4FQY Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Three Stars kindle book works fine The Tangled Lock This is the third book in this series and, although the main story is self-contained, to get the very best from it with regard to character development and backstory, like most series, it is best to start from book one and read in order. In this book, the NCA is called in to assist with the capture of a serial killer who has been targeting Manchester's working girls. Often victims, several deaths have been lined by the placing of a signature lock of hair in their mouths. The police have been unable to catch the killer and feel they need a bit of Behavioural Analysis help to kick start things again. This book also marks the return to GMP for SI Jo Stuart; on secondment from them to the NCA, it is her that the DCI requests to assist them. She also has a bit of experience with working girls so, on the face of it, she's the perfect fit. Interesting that the DCI often doesn't always feel the same as he is a bit of a hard task master as far as she is concerned. Maybe a bit of jealousy, maybe sour grapes, or maybe he just wants to push her; who knows. Anyway, the team get stuck in. And yes, they work as a team. There is the odd 'out on a limb' moment to be found here, but these are definitely in the minority; and refreshingly so. There's enough action and intrigue going on with the crimes in the book to keep me interested so the police side of things can pretty much tick on as it would probably do more in real life than some of this genre which involve themselves more about the lone maverick cop being the focal point. It's definitely reminiscent of the teamwork shown in the TV show Criminal Minds in that respect. Don't get me wrong, there are a few clashes along the way but these are to be expected and add realism to the matter in hand rather than distracting away from it. You definitely get the nitty gritty grunt work in this series. Plotting is, as always, very good. Information is revealed at just the right times to keep my interest but not too much that I got ahead of things with my guessing. It's a relatively slow start, but that again is more a reflection of realistic police work, and it soon ramps up as more is learned until we do get to the rather frenetic end game. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/Murder-Madness-Love-Audiobook/B01M9C9LWU Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Although the main female character was at times to me a drama queen, I still liked her. It has so many twists and turns you're never to sure who done it, till the very end! very good. looking forward to seeing the next book if there is one. Thrilling and Engaging Thriller Any additional comments? This one was really good! At the start, you really wanted to like the main character, but the facts appeared to be stacked against her! There were so many twists and turns, that no sooner had you clarified your missions and thoughts of the main character and the other characters, everything was different! But the twists and changes did not appear contrived and unnatural. It's all a very involved and complicated story, and not only did the author keep the reader gassing, but the author kept the reader interested and anxious and ready to hear the end even when the end was still three hours away. But all three of those hours worth it and I loved the book :-) And it's the first of, so far, three with the same detective. I'm looking forward to more! VERY Good I don't usually like Romantic Mysteries but this was good. Narration was good and so was the story. The ending could have been a little better with a little more explanation. I really loved it. Wonderful characters, great story line and kept my attention until the end. I love the ending. Thrilling and so good! Highly recommend! I loved it! Good story, easy to follow and good narrator. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/What-Lies-Within-Audiobook/B00DL14WCW Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Humor, tragedy, and good mystery The latest installment of the Sam Casey mysteries brings back much needed humor as well as an intense and poignent mystery. Although no longer a police Seargent, Sam is front and center in this investigation as it should be and we begin to see some character development between Sam and none other than Police Chief Dennis Murphy. Like all of the books in this series, each new installment is part mystery, but also part epilogue to the previous book so here we find out what happens after the events from Echoes of the Grave. After their murderer, no suspect about it, jumps to her death from her hospital room, Seargents Jake and recently promoted Frank are assigned to four weeks of animal control for not properly securing the suspect. While chasing a stray cat into an abandoned hotel that's scheduled to be torn down in two weeks, Jake and Frank end up uncovering a mummified body walled into a 4th floor apartment. Jake immediately calls Sam who is in a bout of depression since Abby and Alex took their son Dillon to the reservation for a visit. He thinks the case will distract her and he finally believes his wife has some serious mojo after she found 23 bodies in unmarked graves. Sam comes to the hotel and has flashes of visions throughout the young girl's life but she doesn't recognize the woman. Chief Murphy, distracted by his run for mayor, advises that the investigation be put on the back burner, until it's discovered that the body is a woman he dated a long time ago and that it's found in what used to be his apartment. Sam is ecstatic that Murphy will finally get his just desserts until Murphy ends up hiring Sam to investigate who's trying to frame him. Although every bone in her body is screaming for her to leave Murphy hanging, her curiosity gets the best of her and she throws herself into tracking down the clues of what happened and ultimately a killer. I found this particular installment more entertaining than the previous. There were some hilarious moments with Sam and Murphy caught in a front page headline and photograph of Murphy handing Sam cash outside a seedy hotel room and an even more awkward moment when Murphy shows up on Sam's doorstep with suitcase in hand. The ribbing that Frank and Jake get as animal control officers is cute and there is also an equally entertaining side story with Jackie being stalked. The case itself is complicated but only mysterious because Murphy is constantly lying and avoiding details of what turns out to be painful events of his past. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/The-Pusher-Audiobook/B00J54AXGI Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: May make you run for a fix Let's talk Ed McBain. The late Ewan Hunter's (his name) 87th Precinct series spans three decades from the 1950s to the 1970s. This is set in the mid- to late-1950s. It's a hard-boiled detective novel. I've read the entire series, and McBain writes a very specific style. Reading the books, it works. The long, repetitive diatribes and character angst work in print. Translated to audio, it falls short. Dick Hill is a great narrator. I love his Jack Reacher. In this performance though, he is so cartoonish and melodramatic as to become annoying. Combined with McBain/Hunter's long diatribes and Hill's melodrama, I actually fast-forwarded ahead several minutes at a time throughout the book. This one is a good story, but get the book or read it on Kindle. Story ok Dick Hill not I loved Dick Hill in all the Jack Reacher novels but this performance was melodramatic and I almost didn't make it to the end. Which would have been Unfortunate because the ending was worth it. classic mcbain, can't put it down What made the experience of listening to The Pusher the most enjoyable? it's the way mcbain tells the story, with his own unique voice Who was your favorite character and why? steve corella. He has a sensitivity other cops wouldn't have. For him to have a deaf girlfriend really speaks highly of his character Would you listen to another book narrated by Dick Hill? certainly not. Hill used to be an excellent reader, but the old guy is fading. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? gritty, compelling. g, Any additional comments? Dick Hill should retire gracefully. I think he must have had a stroke, he no longer speaks with ease. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/Cursed-Moon-Audiobook/B00MJDYXWM Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Critic Reviews: "Kate Prospero is my new favorite heroine - imperfect, haunted, driven, and dangerous." (New York Times best seller Kevin Hearne) Members Reviews: I liked this but....... I liked this but I didn't. It's actually closer to a 3 1/2 ****Spoilers***** The author wants to have it both ways. We're suppose to think that Porpero's cooking Magic is terrible but she did it to save her brother. Not much villainy there. Then there is her friends magic potion abuse. The woman had busted ribs and whiplash. Addiction is hard to lick but it's hard to condemn people who get caught up trying to heal. So, their bad because of magic use is their big bad secrets but it doesn't wash. And frankly I'm tired of the addiction preaching. I'm glad Propero's gotten over her aversion to cooking and realizes good can come of it. For that reason alone I might read the next one. Oh, and I'm also tired of her knocking John. He's done nothing that makes him the enemy but she doesn't want to admit that she still has a thing for him so she never gives him a break but she goes to him when her cases get tough. I also think she needs to admit that maybe there is a chance he's changed as well. Her condemnation is getting old. Good mix of gritty mystery, brash detective work Listened for Fun (Audible) Overall Rating 4.00 Story Rating 4.25 Character Rating 3.75 Audio Rating 3.50 (not part of the overall rating) First Thought when Finished:Cursed Moon by Jaye Wells was a good mix of gritty mystery, brash detective work, and enough magic to keep you guessing. Overall Thoughts:I was a bit hesitant to listen to this because a friend of mine had huge problems with it. Though something she said made me think I would like it (see negative reviews really aren't a bad thing). Yes this is gritty, crass, and very raw series. The language is a bit like reading/listening to an OZ episode (which I loved so this is a huge compliment). Mix that with a rape potion and it is a dark case. I LOVED IT! Seriously the case was downright awesome. I had some character issues in Cursed Moon (Kate was close to going into annoying UF lead for me) but the ending made me think that maybe those will be over with book 3. I think she came to terms with herself, so I hold out hope. Overall though I would say this is a great mix of Urban Fantasy and Gritty Thriller! Audio Thoughts: Narrated By Morgan Hallett / Length: 11 hrs and 9 mins I liked the audio in 1.5x speed but in 1x speed it drove me nuts. Morgan isn't a bad narrator (I had less of a problem in book 1) but something just sounded off in a few of the secondary character voices. I will continue this in audio as it may have been me not the narrator this go around. Status Updates and Quotes 5%: "#Listening Chapter 3 she just cursed herself. Never think everything seems together :)" 40%: #Listening 4 hrs 30 min in: Interesting case. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/Kill-and-Run-Audiobook/B01M3PR4QY Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Lots of twist and turns This story had so many characters and a lot of twists and turns I never expected the guilty one to be who it was till near the end. Loved the characters and the story line the author made me believe there is a shadow unit within our military. Can't wait to read more from her. The narrator did a beautiful job. I received this free from the author or narrator free for an honest review. Highly entertaining filled with suspense Any additional comments? This is a book full of surprises that keeps your attention as the author plays out the plot giving you a highly entertaining listen. I thought it was really well written that is fast paced filled with action and mystery. I did guess who was pulling the cords a little over half way through but I have been wrong before. I didnt know the how or why until near the end. The author does a great job at keeping you entertained and guessing. This is a very fast pace thrilling read that goes back for years and ties into Murphy wifes first husbands killing that everyone thought was an accident. As you first start to listen you think oh what a sweet wonderful cop and listen in horror as the action unfolds. The author skips ahead a few years and the book takes off leaving you with your mouth hung open thinking oh my Lord a time or two. The author gives you a ton of surprise along the way with some shocks as well. You will find monsters and still more monsters controlling everything from women to a career with one person behind it all trying to take the world on to get what they feel they deserve. As the end comes you will be left with shocks and surprises that will leave you with your mouth hung open. Mr. McAllister I thought did a wonderful job with the character voices he really put emotion into them never leaving you guessing who was talking or what they were feeling. I thought his normal voice where he was just reading didnt come across as easy or as natural as I thought it should. I did feel all in all he did a wonderful job at keeping me pulled in and entertained. You could really feel the emotions he put into the read. I did not hear any background noises or any places where the audio was higher or lower than any place else on the audio. If any breaks were taken I could not tell. I felt he gave a clear and clean listen that really pulls in the listener. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/Unraveled-Audiobook/B01N3Q08SV Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 93 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: The small, rural northeast Texas community of Center Springs has seen its share of troubles during the 1960s, everything from kidnapping and murder to bank robbery. By 1968, the residents think life has finally quieted down, but they find their peaceful way of life is quickly spinning out of control as a decades-long family feud between the Clays and Mayfields once again flares to life. Fourteen-year-old Top Parker, who lives with his grandparents, Constable Ned Parker and Miss Becky, in a little farmhouse near the Red River, is caught up in another adult situation sparked by a mysterious fatal car accident involving the white mayor of Chisum and his black female assistant. Questions and accusations arise about their relationship as the families wreak vengeance on each other. But what is the significance of a man calling himself the Wraith, who moves through the region at will, invading homes and watching the Parkers? What is Maggie Clay's secret - that she is half white and married to a black man with a criminal past? And was Mayor Frank Clay, the supposed only bright spot in a dark and cruel family, really what everyone thought he was? It's a busy time for Sheriff Cody Parker, who finds himself a possible suspect in the murder of several residents. He takes the advice from his deputy, John Washington, and removes himself from the investigation, giving free reign to both John and Deputy Anna Sloan as they try to unravel the answers by following different paths.

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 93 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: The small, rural northeast Texas community of Center Springs has seen its share of troubles during the 1960s, everything from kidnapping and murder to bank robbery. By 1968, the residents think life has finally quieted down, but they find their peaceful way of life is quickly spinning out of control as a decades-long family feud between the Clays and Mayfields once again flares to life. Fourteen-year-old Top Parker, who lives with his grandparents, Constable Ned Parker and Miss Becky, in a little farmhouse near the Red River, is caught up in another adult situation sparked by a mysterious fatal car accident involving the white mayor of Chisum and his black female assistant. Questions and accusations arise about their relationship as the families wreak vengeance on each other. But what is the significance of a man calling himself the Wraith, who moves through the region at will, invading homes and watching the Parkers? What is Maggie Clay's secret - that she is half white and married to a black man with a criminal past? And was Mayor Frank Clay, the supposed only bright spot in a dark and cruel family, really what everyone thought he was? It's a busy time for Sheriff Cody Parker, who finds himself a possible suspect in the murder of several residents. He takes the advice from his deputy, John Washington, and removes himself from the investigation, giving free reign to both John and Deputy Anna Sloan as they try to unravel the answers by following different paths.

Members Reviews: Wonderful Story. Really good story and very well narrated. Love the narrators voice. Please tell me the series continues. Frank narrator is awesome through entire series! loved theze books can't wait til next one becomes available, will definitely be looking forward! Excellent!!!! Would you consider the audio edition of Unraveled to be better than the print version? Did not read it What did you like best about this story? I liked the entire series and was sad when it ended. Every story held my attention and that's not an easy thing for me. I hope Reavis Z Wortham continues the series. What about Traber Burnss performance did you like? He was perfect with every character. His delivery and contrast between male, female, young or old doesn't seem possible to have come from one man. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes and I did as I did with all 6 in the series. Any additional comments? I cannot say enough good things about this series all around. Worth every minute and every dollar spent. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/The-Beginning-Audiobook/B071FMZQZ4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: "Kidnapped: The Beginning" Well-Written & Well-Edited, but with a Cliffhanger Ending, May Not Please Every Reader UPDATED REVIEW There is now an Omnibus edition available. Readers can avoid the annoying cliffhangers in Books 0 and 1 by purchasing the Omnibus. Here is a link:Kidnapped Omnibus: A Small Town Mystery *** LANGUAGE *** Plain English with only the mildest cussing. If this were a film it likely would be rated G for language. NOTE: Book 2, Final Recital, is now available for free [4-13-2017] and, therefore, the complete trilogy is now cliffhanger free. Here is a link to Book 2Kidnapped: Final Recital Book 2 This is a solid piece of writing with only one disappointment. It suddenly ends on a cliffihanger. Bearing in mind that book one is already available, this probably shouldn't prevent readers from reading it. I have not yet read Book One but will do so soon. I hope it doesn't end with a cliffhanger, or, if it does, I hope Book Two is available soon. Here is a link to Book OneJ.S. Donovan Book 0 is a prequel, but, at 138 pages, is much more than a simple teaser. Excerpt '...âWe couldâve eaten that, you know.â Richard scrambled out of the boat, almost slipping on the rim, and greeted the tall woman with a strong, reciprocating hug. After enjoying a warm moment, he pulled himself away. âHow did you find me?â âItâs Sunday afternoon,â Anna said matter-of-factly. âWhere else would you be?â Smiling giddily, he looked her up and down. âWow.â âWhat?â Anna put her hands on her hips. âYou got a tan,â Richard replied. âYou look like one of those sexy South Beach girls.â âThanks, Dad.â Anna raised her brow, pleased her fatherâs humor hadnât changed. Richard took off his hat and flattened his disheveled gray hair with his hand. âWhat am I saying? You must be starving. Big Jakeâs?â âBig Jakeâs.â Anna helped drag the boat up the bank and lift it on the trailer frame hitched to Richardâs truck. She wouldâve lectured him on fishing alone this far away from the town, but the old man had heard it a thousand times. When Richard set his mind on something, Anna would have better luck negotiating with a deaf mule. Richard insisted on leading the caravan to Big Jakeâs Cattle Co., and they pulled into the atmospheric restaurant at sunset. The exterior had a black, dry wood look about it and a rectangular shape akin to an old Western saloon. The font and glowing red lettering matched that of a casino, and it bore the sigil of a horned bullâs skull. Boring locals dressed in their Sunday clothes filled the booths and square tables of the dimly lit but homely establishment. Most drove in from the many Pentecostal churches around town and, like Communion, Big Jakeâs was a Sunday ritual. Nonetheless, Anna remembered the place to be packed all seven days of the week. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/Less-Than-a-Treason-Audiobook/B01MQCKSDT Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: and Less than a Treason didnât disappoint. Great for fans of mystery and Christmas stories This is Birkâs third book about Terrence Reid. The layers of this mystery kept going deeper and deeper. I was wrong multiple times about who did it, and why. I have been rooting for Reid and his wife for several books now, and Less than a Treason didnât disappoint. Great for fans of mystery and Christmas stories, especially ones in gorgeous Scottish castles. Awe I've truly enjoyed all of Birks books but this one is a topper. Thanks for a brilliant work.

Members Reviews: Well-written and narrated. Preposterous plot. It's quite a solid mystery, but readers cannot look back and see the clues that might have led them to anticipate the identity of the murderer. Nick Dixon is a believable character as is his girlfriend, Constable Jane Winter. Although I haven't read the previous three in this series, this one seems self-contained. Having said that, I found the plot to be unbelievable, both as to the behavior of the killer as well as those people encountered by Nick and Jane in the course of the story. Stories about crazed serial killers are not my favorite type of mystery. My one complaint about the narration is that Nick Dixon sounds perpetually blasé, even when he is supposed to be excited. Superb murder mystery! With Swansong the promise of the DI Nick Dixon series has been fully realized. This is an outstanding multiple murder mystery. Nick Dixon goes undercover as a teacher trainee to solve a series of murders that began with his girlfriend at age 16. Recommended! Great read and listen.. This is about the death of a 17 year old girl at a boarding school, where Dixon goes undercover to find a killer, only to discover theres been another murder soon after his arrival. Then someone tries to kill Dixon. A lot of killing going on again. And Im surprised theres not more cops killed since they dont have guns, only the bad guys do. Every time he has to have back-up he calls for armed men. That seems kind of crazy to me. Someones firing at him and 6 young boys out in the woods and he cant even fire back? So, this is the 4th of the 5 Nick Dixon books Ive read and in EVERY book Dixons poor dog, Monty, is always kept in Dixons car. Every time he goes to work Montys in the car. How cruel is that? I mean, hes a cop, for Petes sake. Hes at work for really long periods of time, and he keeps the dog closed up in a car? That doesnt make a bit of sense. Anyway, this was another good read and it had an exciting ending, and a surprising one, too. I would have never guessed who the killer was. As with all Mr. Boyds book there isnt even a touch of romance BUT there is swearing and the F-bomb was used 17 times. As to the narration: Ive enjoyed all 4 of these books, mostly because of the narration I think. Napoleon Ryan is such a fantastic narrator. The mens and womens voices are all so perfect. Excellent Damien Boyd again keeps you on the edge of your seat as you try to solve the Crime before he does and Napoleon Ryan makes the characters come to life. Past Replicates the Present in Residential Academi Former attorney Detective Inspector Nick Dixon hasn't even unpacked from a much needed vacation before he's assigned to work undercover to find a young student's killer. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/A-Place-in-the-Wind-Audiobook/B075NQMQWC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

On a frigid, January night, a blond, blue-eyed high school girl walks out of an English class she tutors for immigrants - and vanishes. Suspicion quickly falls on the men she was teaching, many of whom are undocumented. As disturbing evidence trickles in, news of the incident spreads beyond the scenic town of Lake Holly, New York, unearthing deep-seated fears and enflaming cultural tensions. For county police detective Jimmy Vega, the situation is personal. His girlfriend, Harvard-educated attorney Adele Figueroa, heads the immigrant center where the teen volunteer disappeared. If Vega can't find the girl soon and clear Adele's clients, the place of refuge may be forced to shut its doors. Still reeling over his own recent career missteps, Vega does his best to run interference between Adele and the local police. But when Vega's boss assigns him a grunt detail working for the new county supervisor, the man's political ambitions clash with Vega's deepest convictions. Vega can't imagine a worse turn of events - until he uncovers even darker forces at play. Someone wants to destroy far more than Vega's career. And no matter which way he turns, every step will put him and his family in the killer's crosshairs.

Members Reviews: Very good story! Great story and excellent narration! Enjoyed the insight into a very important and topical issue. A Place on my Favorites List! I am soo glad I chose this audiobook! I used to be a suspense mystery thriller seeker, but have had a difficult time finding books in present day with unique plots and stories. It seemed most books were copycats, fell flat, serial killer overkill, vengeful ridden angst, or wasn't edited adequately. This book - series? Dare I hope? - is so modern and possibly real, I swam in it until I drifted away. Ms Chazin brought this community full front, up close and personal. It doesn't seem like it was glorifying, apologetic, nor begging for pity. It screamed for embracing the unknown and being given a chance and an open ear. It's book 4 in the series, but it's a complete stand alone book. I didn't feel lost or confused. I fell right into the book without missing a heartbeat. I loved the writing. It flowed and made sense! Wow. Although this is current times, I've never been to NY but have seen it on TV. Ms Chazin pulled me from (wherever I was while listening) and planted me on the sidelines. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/The-October-List-Audiobook/B00EKQ157C Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Yuck What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you? Different plot Better characters. Would you ever listen to anything by Jeffery Deaver again? Yes. Who would you have cast as narrator instead of January LaVoy? She wasn't bad, but hard to judge with the story What character would you cut from The October List? all of them Any additional comments? Can I go lower than one star? I LOVE even crave Deaver books this was pointless annoying and due to style gave you no way of having any connection with the characters. Flat Flat Flat. Not my Favorite Deaver What disappointed you about The October List? I really didn't care for the backwards timeline. The story had all the twists that one becomes used to and enjoys with a Deaver novel. To be true, some of the twists would not have been possible had the book been written sequentially. I figured one before we were told, but the others left me saying, "HUH??". What do you think your next listen will be? Already queued up -- John Sanford's "Storm Front" What does January LaVoy bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? January brought some of the characters -- especially Josephs "sing song" voice. If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from The October List? I wouldn't cut -- but perhaps cut-and-paste -- the scenes in their correct order. Any additional comments? I am perchance too linear... Ugh!!! What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you? I did not like the concept or how the book was performed...I don't think it could be improved to make me feel it rates more than a 1 or 2. What could Jeffery Deaver have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you? Too stereotypical and too much name dropping....not necessary for an author of Deaver's talent. How did the narrator detract from the book? Ok performance, but I have heard much better. You didnt love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities? Not really, it had too many twists to be realistic as a thriller. Any additional comments? I look forward to better works from Jeffery Deaver. One you will listen to again What made the experience of listening to The October List the most enjoyable? The story is told in reverse, so once you listen to it the first time you have to listen again with the knowledge you've gained. The narrator did an excellent job with character voices. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/Ghosts-Audiobook/B009EYST1A Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Kate Reid I have found a new favorite character in Kate Reid. I need to get to the next book in the series. The ending wasn't what I expected, but it made me want the next book as soon as possible. The narration was the best of any I have listened to so far. Lisa Kelly's pacing was perfection. The pauses were exactly what was needed in every case. Another great Kate Reid story!! Another great Kate Reid story with wonderful characters (some new ones and some we knew from the last book), a story that will keep you on your toes right to terminate end of the book, and excellent narration makes it was winner in my book! :-) Great read I am a disabled woman with a great deal of time. I love reading books. This is a fantastic read. I unfortunately bought book two so now when I get paid I'll be sure to buy the first book and the third to finish the trophy. Keep writing this series please. It's delightful as and old friend. Wrapped Up From The Start The story had begun adventurous enough. There's a character going along their merry way until boom, a body is located and, later, found to be murdered. However, the murder is no so-called "ordinary" murder. Its just one in a series that are taking place. And this killer has somewhat of a specific method to the killing, which includes carving the Roman numeral five into the body. I was wrapped up in it from the start. Also, the main character is Kate Reid, a young woman working for the authorities, who has apparently gone through a hellish ordeal at a previous point and, it seems, has yet to fully heal and process. As expected, everyone's worried about her, particularly her boyfriend, Detective Marshall Avery. Despite this, she takes an active role in the investigations into the killer's identity. Marshall's and Kate's conversation with each other would sometimes grate on my nerves because they just annoyed me sometimes. She's obviously not okay but keeps saying she is and he's always trying to shield her from something. The whole time I'm going "Girl, you're not fine. You're not even close to it. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/Vespers-Audiobook/B00AO8LFI4 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

(Pete Hamill, Newsday Members Reviews: start with another in the series if you must start This seemed like an innocuous police procedural series, so I tried this instalment on sale. Know that an early chapter contains a detailed sex scene from a black mass - perhaps the black mass was necessary for the plot (I didn't finish the book for additional reasons), but the amount of detail was not, in a police procedural. A good crime writer can communicate such a context without such detail. If you are attracted by the title - "Vespers"- thinking this might involve the sub-genre of priest sleuth - definitely stay away! This also seemed to me to be Dick Hill's narration at it absolute silliest. He is not among my favourite narrators, but I can enjoy his reading - not so here. Perhaps he didn't know how to take the content either! I don't usually review books I can't finish, but this one needs a warning for the unwary. Some scenes that can pass in text are just not suited to many listeners in audio - and since you can't skim ahead to see what awaits and adjust reading speed accordingly -- this can be disturbing. My overall rating = Yuk. Don't waste your time or credit; there is too much good crime fiction out there. R rated I was unaware of the foul language and lewd actions that were explicit in this book. I would have enjoyed it more if there weren't these . Not a fan. This had a dismal, boring story line, plots, sub-plots etc. and a performer I've put on my "don't listen" list. Distracting narrator The story was interesting but the voice of the performer was an annoying distraction. Pushed thru for the story. I wish I could give it a negative star :( AWFUL!! I couldn't make it past the 1st chapter! It should be rated R. I couldn't shut it off fast enough. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/Blindsided-Audiobook/B00I2PHPGM Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Another surprise twist at the end! Clyde Phillips seems to have a talent for ending his novels with a surprise twist. Angela Dawe is beyond doubt the worst narrator I've listened to. It's sad because the Clyde Phillips novels are quite good. Blindsided the story is pretty good. the reader is not.. at least not for me. reading sounds forced...and rather wooden. I shut the book off numerous times due to her voice and style. not fair to the author as the story is pretty good. The overall story was good. Would you try another book from Clyde Phillips and/or Angela Dawe? I would buy a book from Clyde Phillips but the narration was so annoying I stopped listening and read the book after chapter 2. What did you like best about this story? It kept moving and held my attention. Would you be willing to try another one of Angela Dawes performances? I honestly can not tolerate her reading rythem and will avoid audios with her narration. What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment? Anger New on my favorite authors list Very intriguing with many unexpected lot twists. I am looking forward to the next audio book. This narrator is finally growing on me. Good character differentiation and gender pitch. Makes You Hold Your Breath What made the experience of listening to Blindsided the most enjoyable? Reader Angela Dawe is why I purchased. If you like Romance J.D. Robb, then you may like this series. Our heroine has more of a famine side/emotions. Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How? Twists keep you on the edge. Well done! I cried and the end made me say WHOA! Have you listened to any of Angela Dawes other performances before? How does this one compare? I love her male voices and Kenny, hero, is tops! I love his sense of humor and sarcasm Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yup, I did listen into the night! Any additional comments? I have purchase 2 of the four. These have a bit of the macabre as writer does TV Dexter series. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/Strange-Affair-Audiobook/B01H40FOKO Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Another good Banks's story BUT.... I I didn't not care for this narrator. He made DCI Banks sound like a poof posh & at times, even a little desperate. The female narration sounded breathless & false. Perhaps I'm too use to Mr. Prebble' s grizzled and animated portrayal... I liked the narrator fine! Great Story. This was a really good story. Engrossing also like all books in this series there are social, historical, bits of politics revealed. Things of the time and relationships. I am intrigued how, more and more one gets to learn about Banks and the evolution of his life. Changes within the policing as technology changes, the rising of other detectives and staleness of others careers. The toll on a policeman who has risen to detective banks rank over many years and cases. The hero is so human and real. Good storyline , dreadful narrator !! Oh my what a narrator experience ......all the voices where grating but the female ones were horrendous , it was like listening to a bad over acted drama !! I stuck with it as I like the author works but after listening to lots of audiobooks this was a greatest challenge to finish. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/The-Angel-Maker-Audiobook/B0085W0SRK Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free. Title: The Angel Maker Subtitle: A Lou Boldt - Daphne Matthews Novel, Book 2 Author: Ridley Pearson Narrator: Jeff Cummings Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 19 mins Language: English Release date: 05-25-12 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 35 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: At The Shelter, no one judges the runaway teens who come in off the rainy Seattle streets. Volunteers, like police psychologist Daphne Matthews, want only to rescue and rebuild lives. Being a cop, Daphne thinks she's seen it all. But, as best-selling author Ridley Pearson's edge-of-your-seat thriller opens, what she encounters in a 16-year-old girl chills her in a way she thought a case no longer could. For help, Daphne turns to the best cop she knows: Lou Boldt, a man with creative instincts and an appreciation for forensic lab techniques. Boldt isn't a cop anymore; he's playing jazz piano in a downtown club and doing his best to forget the past. When Daphne puts her evidence on the table, Boldt is hooked. By all appearances someone is illegally harvesting human organs for transplant. Soon the two cops - and former lovers - are drawn into the dark vortex of a high-tech, highly profitable underground industry, and into the mind of its founder: a doctor gone very, very bad; a man who began by trying to save patients unable to get donor organs through legitimate channels; a healer who let ambition, or something more sinister, turn him into a killer. The case gets personal when Daphne's friend and fellow Shelter volunteer Sharon Shaffer is abducted, and evidence left behind indicates she's about to become the killer's next organ donor. Daphne and Boldt have only days, hours, minutes to save Sharon from a killer about to make one final, unforgettable contribution to humankind. Meanwhile a woman caught in a nightmare of captivity rattles the bars of a secret makeshift prison, too far from civilization for anyone to hear her scream. Written with a researched realism so convincing that the story could have come from today's headlines, Ridley Pearson's The Angel Maker will hold listeners spellbound as it explores the passion to create life, and the power to destroy it. This is a novel so shattering, so bizarre, and so terrifying that it raises the specter of a future humanity where the question of who will live depends on who must die to ensure it. bdssaigon.net2@gmail.com (Ridley Pearson) Fri, 25 May 2012 04:26:31 GMT https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/The-Angel-Maker-Audiobook/B0085W0SRK thebookvoice.com 12:19:00 no Listen to full audiobooks for free on thebookvoice.com Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Terrible reader Is there anything you would change about this book? The story is a standard police thriller. Totally functional, if predictable. What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting? Story revolves around Organ Harvesting. Any additional comments? The reader is terrible. He's fine except for when he has to do dialog and voices, at which point he so mis-interprets the voices that he undercuts the story utterly. A Lew Bolt and Daphne Mathews book. Lew Bolt has taken an extended leave of absence from the Seattle Police Department. His wife, Liz, had a baby, and he is being house mom staying at home taking care of his son while Liz works, and then playing piano in a jazz club at night. But one night, Daphne Matthews, a forensic psychologist working for the police and a close friend of Bolts from the past, shows up and sparks his interest in a potential case. Daphne is volunteering time at a teen shelter for runaways. A girl shows up one day and seems very ill and is bleeding. They take her to the hospital and find that she has recently had surgery and a kidney has been removed. It has not been done in a hospital and may not have been done by a doctor. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/The-Daughters-of-Cain-Audiobook/B0036GMOHC Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

( Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: Not up to the level of May's island books Story was less believable than may's later novels. Well written but the story line lacked real interest. I don't recommend this read. The setting was of interest and the main characters draws the reader in but the actual narrative was weak. Other "Chinese Thriller" books may be fine as the novelty of the Chinese police procedure and depth of the main characters form an excellent base upon which a good mystery could be based but this isn't the one. Mike I have now listened to all six of this series how disappointing to change narrator. the first four of these books were read by Peter Forbes and he is an excellent narrator. There is nothing extrinsically bad about Simon Vance's narration but he is just not as good as Peter Forbes. I enjoyed the series and I have no doubt that Peter May will be writing more but I feel they are formulaic and more of a money spinning effort than his excellent Scottish series. I felt the first book, The Firemaker, was as good as the Scottish books but I do not feel that they have quite kept up the standard. Still good and worth listening to, entertaining and enjoyable but bring back Peter Forbes. Ridiculous story, very gory Like these characters, the clash of cultures, life in Beijing. This is all done well as in the previous China stories. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/The-Coldest-Fear-Audiobook/B071ZTF2R8 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Really serial killer who just killed a different group of people.

Title: Murder Inside the Beltway Author: Margaret Truman Narrator: Patrick Lawlor Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 9 mins Language: English Release date: 11-01-08 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 21 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: Then they discover a small, book-sized DVD case, full with the exception of two slots. Could they possibly get lucky? Is the murder on one of those disks? As the investigation picks up steam, the business of Washington, D.C., rolls on. It's an election year and the sitting president, Burton Pyle, is running for a second term. His opponent, Robert Colgate, is odds-on to defeat Pyle, whose administration has been rife with corruption and scandal. And there's no love lost between Pyle and Colgate: The campaign has morphed into one of the most distasteful, nasty elections in memory. Then, on a lovely Sunday afternoon on Washington's famed Mall, the daughter of Bob Colgate's closest confidant and advisor is kidnapped. The event rocks the city and bumps the investigation from the front page...until the detectives decide the two cases might be connected. Members Reviews: Political Cynicism from One who Ought to Know "Murder inside the Beltway" was Margaret Truman's final entry in her long-running Capital Crimes series. (She died in 2008 -- the year of this novel's publication -- although the popular series is now being continued by other authors.) All of the Capital Crimes novels are murder mysteries set in Washington, D.C., with its attendant political backdrop. I have listened to many of the Capitol Crimes audiobooks, and someday hope to listen to them all, in chronological order. (Most of them have not yet been recorded, and Audible does not carry many of those that have, as of this writing.) I have noticed that, as the series progressed, so did Ms Truman's cynicism with Washington politics. "Murder inside the Beltway" takes political cynicism to its inevitable conclusion. See if this quote from the novel reminds you of any recent events: The Pyle administration had set the standard for lying away its misdeeds: a callous economic policy, leaving millions behind; disastrous foreign incursions sold to the American public through out-and-out falsehoods; abject corruption in myriad agencies and departments; and a litany of disasters that would seem to ensure a one-term presidency. Regarding Washington politics, Margaret Truman frequently quotes her famous father's statement: "If you want a friend in Washington, get a dog." As with the other Capital Crimes entries, in "Murder inside the Beltway" Truman weaves police procedurals in with the political shenanigans. Here, we have some police shenanigans woven in, as well, including a bad cop on the take. I deducted a star from my overall rating of this audiobook, only because the character development of this bad cop -- Walt Hatcher, a bigoted, foul-mouthed, corrupt veteran of the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department -- has a sweet, but inconsistent and unbelievable relationship with his wife. Otherwise, "Murder inside the Beltway" has a well-developed, intriguing plot. The narrator, Patrick Lawlor, does have an odd voice, as some other reviewers have pointed out; but he does have some acting chops, including the perfect, raspy voice for the unlikable Walt Hatcher. What he lacks in vocal repertoire he can frequently compensate for with inflection. I didn't mind his voice; but I suggest that, if you are contemplating purchasing this audiobook, you listen to the 4-minute sample that Audible provides, to see if Lawlor's voice bothers you. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/No-Cure-for-Love-Audiobook/B0195F1UI6 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Buyer beware. This is not a new book. This is not a new book by Peter Robinson. I am writing this review primarily to warn Audible customers and inform other readers this book is not indicative of Robinsons current writing. It is not pleasant to give such a tepid rating to Robinson's work, which, had I rated them, would normally rate 4 to 5 stars. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ It was an unexpected pleasure to see a new Peter Robinson book pop up so soon after his last. I was excited to pre-order it. (I believe my exact words were Squeeeee!) Alas, I should have remembered the one about things that seem too good to be true. As I began listening to this book, the first thing I noticed was the stilted prose and copious exposition. At first, I thought perhaps it was merely due to the jarring experience of hearing Robinson in American coupled with the odd narration. But, no. Surely it was more than that. Then it began to sink in when I mentally catalogued the seemingly anachronistic references: wall phone, pager, Mighty Ducks jacket, Married With Children, car phone, pay phone, renting a video ... Wait. What? RENTING A VIDEO? Did the characters live in a time warp? Am I losing my marbles? I looked up the Amazon reviews of the book, and lo! Answers. Evidently in the print version there is a forward by Michael Connelly which explains this is a 20 year old book. Nowhere in Audible's description of the book did I see mention of this. Nor is the forward included in the audio version. Indeed, Audibles description is arguably a tad misleading. Tsk, tsk, Audible. I should say this early offering from Robinson is far better than some quite dreadful current selections Ive tried to read from best-selling authors. But, the odd narration on this one isn't helping matters. Thank the ear gods a different narrator was used for the Yorkshire segments in the book. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/The-Abducted-Audiobook/B01LZBQOZ2 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Cliff-hanger series, wait for bundle/complete story Cliff-hanger series, wait for bundle/complete story. The book description did not state it was a cliff-hanger. Nor did it state it was a complete, stand-alone story. I did not check with the author so that is my fault. Great story, unfortunately it is not complete. The prequel and book one were free at the time of purchase. No desire to re-read this book. I would be interested in other works by this author if they are complete, stand-alone stories. Remember this is my personal opinion on cliff-hangers and does not reflect on the author. Too bad for Mr Hayden Their is nothing more irritating than snippet books that are supposed to be books. Personally when I run across them...the author will lose my business forever. Too bad for Mr Hayden...guess I will turn to an author who has the guts to put the full book on so we the reader can ascertain whether his stories warrant reading additional works. I will never know. twisted mystery! this was an exciting read. Great entertainment. Every detail feels relevant, sparing the reader from wasting time on superfluous information. There's only one detail that escaped the author, which surprised me, especially because of all the care put into the detail. Although not significant to the case, this error caused me to page back several pages, to be sure that I hadn't missed something. Detective O'Leary drives a green Taurus, which seems like an unlikely color for a fleet vehicle. A few sections later, his vehicle is described as a grey Crown Vic, which is a much more like color and model for a detective. As for the magazine capacity of Miriam's 9mm Beretta, I'm willing to accept the ambiguity related to the number of rounds fired. Raising questions would just make me seem creepy, right? The Abducted" kept me tense; I didn't want to stop reading until I got to the end. I had my suspicions all along, it turns out I was only half-way right. I recommend this brief, read to anyone, especially if you enjoy stories/books that build tension and draw you in. Upon forward to read more stories/books by Mr Hayden. Well done. Fraud. Do not take this book. You get ... Fraud. Do not take this book. You get the first book for free...around 100 pages. After that you have to buy the next (around) 100 pages for $2.99 and if you thing you get now the whole story...wrong. You have to buy again and after that I make my guess....again. (I just stopped buying) E-books should be cheap. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/Silenced-Audiobook/B00C294U44 Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Another excellent story I like the actress reading it a lot, except I think giving everyone accents while keeping the narration unaccented is a novel idea but unnecessary. Just do everyone English with different voices- a whole bunch of accented English speakers becomes confusing and a little bit tedious. This is the second novel I have read/listened to by Ohlsson and I think she's very good! page turner into the night! Would you consider the audio edition of Silenced to be better than the print version? be sure to give yourself plenty of time to listen to this. What aspect of Justine Eyres performance would you have changed? the Swedish accent did not help here at all, but distracted from the very good story. Any additional comments? I liked the background stories of the team. Excellent story spoilt by narrator Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not? Not really. I would have preferred to read it as the narrator spoilt it for me. What did you like best about this story? The story was fascinating and full of detail and interest. What didnt you like about Justine Eyres performance? Justine Eyre's voice sounds creaky and irritated me from the first few words onwards. All her men sound the same which was confusing. I would like to hear the other Ohlsson books but as they're all narrated by the same person, I will be forced to by the Kindle versions. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/An-Advancement-of-Learning-Audiobook/B002VA8TGY Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

He's awful. His voice is tinny and hard to understand and his manner of speaking, or reading, is rhythmic and shrill. I kept trying to get around it, but it was no use. I couldn't get past the first chapter. What the heck? The narration sounds like its coming from the bottom of a rain barrel --- muffled, fuzzy and the same for ALL the voices,,, how can Pascoe and Dalziel sound alike? I have no idea what this story is about. Tried a couple of hours but couldn't handle more Disappointing I usually love everything by Hill but I couldn't get past the narration to decide it I liked this one! Turned it off within 10 minutes. I would much rather listen to Colin Buchannan. Clever but narrator has a cold? I had read only one Reginald Hill novel (the first in the series) when I downloaded An Advancement of Learning. With this novel, the relationship between the two major characters seems better developed, more humorous, and the novel overall much wittier. That said, I listen to audiobooks while I walk or exercise, and Brian Glover is not an ideal reader for these circumstances, nor is the quality of the recording up to usual Audible standards. I believe another reviewer complained about Glover's accent, but that seemed fairly easy for this American listener to get used to. However, the man also sounds as if he has a cold about half the time and slurs his words a bit. Add in the occasional patch of white noise (a result of low-tech editing?), and this audiobook can be a bit annoying to listen to. The sound level also seems to vary up and down at odd times so that I found myself frequently adjusting the volume. So, I, based on my experience of only two mysteries, I recommend Hill's work for those attracted to quirky characters and witty wordplay, but I can't recommend Brian Glover as a narrator or this particular recording. An Ordeal to Listen This is the first audiobook to which I've listened that has been so substandard in performance and audio quality. There is a reasonably good Dalziel & Pascoe story being read here, but the audio quality is very muddy, and the voices portrayed for characters are not consistent, distinctive or appropriate. Other readers use Yorkshire and other regional British dialects and voice Andy "The Fat Man" Dalziel with a growling bass tone that leaves the listener with no doubt as to which character is speaking. Based on this audiobook I would be hesitant to listen to other titles with this reader, and I'll be more inclined to heed other reviews about bad audio quality. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/The-Teller-Audiobook/B00W1YCPQA Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Why or why not? Listening to the first half was terrific. Our heroine, the virginal, Irish Catholic bank teller Elaine Kelly is a wonderful young woman, kinda shy, who in a moment of horrendous temptation, steals $1.3 million in a couple of key strokes. The first half of the book is the product of a great writer and a great reader. It is really hard to believe that the second half of the book has been written by the same guy. The second half deteriorates, as other reviewers have noted, into a bloody awful mess. The theft wreaks utter havoc on Elaine, and takes her through a nightmare of tortures populated by Euro-thug gangsters, a bank CEO who is the bottom in a maelstrom of sadomasochistic perversion, and adventures that belong in a comic book aimed at impressionable thirteen-year-old boys. What do you think your next listen will be? I think I will give Jonathan Stone a rest. I bought "two for the show," but the plot seems to be quite literally lifted from that of another, eerily similar book, in which the researcher for a Las Vegas style "mentalist" spends his time investigating every person in the audience, so that the showman can astonish them with his supernatural knowledge of their lives. Hooey. What three words best describe Karen Peakess voice? I like her a lot. She has breadth, vivid excitement and both genders down in excellent fashion. She is completely believable as Elaine, and also completely believable as Detective Nusbaum of the 114th. Quite a range. Do you think The Teller needs a follow-up book? Why or why not? Heavens no. It's time, as the Monty Pythons used to say, for something completely different. Any additional comments? No. Really good Nice juxtaposition between Catholic guilt and professional international criminals. "Good Girl" commits an impulsive financial crime and is drawn into sordid criminal band. I enjoyed the "counterpoint" in the story. The first half of the book, though, was better and better written. Fast paced. I recommend. Wow. And not in the good way. While I love Jonathan Stone's characters (they're complex and inexplicable the way real humans usually are), this one was hard to swallow. While I have to admire the ability to construct such a story, it just really doesn't seem like this could ever really happen in the real world. There's not much I can say about this without total spoilers, but I'll try. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/Kickback-Audiobook/B00QZ9UZ8C Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Racing, Roadies & Ruin Abound! DI Dixon does it again. With merely a moments notice since his last case, and still not fully recovered from the wounds it inflicted Detective Inspector Dixon is onto a horse mauling that may not be what it seems. Accompanied by a skeleton crew, he enters the world of racing to find out what's transpired and who's responsible. Quick and potent like the two before, this thriller plays out interestingly. Unlike the others, there are a few too many characters and a slight implausibility for this reader. Still a worthy listen as Napoleon gives us his oratory best! Murder at the race track Kickback starts where Head in the Sand ends, with detective Nick Dixon recovering from his knife wound. A trainee jockey has apparently been kicked to death in his stables at the race track by an aggressive horse. The jockey's brother believes he was actually murdered and takes strong steeps to assure that the police are forced to investigate it as such. Thus begins a story of murder, blackmail, and other criminal activities. DI Nick Dixon and his police partner/girlfriend Jane ultimately resolve the case but not before more murder. This is Book 3 of the five novel Nick Dixon police procedural series. The setting is in the midlands of England. Highly enjoyable but narrative voice needs help I continue to enjoy this series very much and admire the author's plot and character development of the "hero" . I look forward to listening to the next book as well. However in all 3 books so far the main female character has a soft single tone subdued voice on each every response, every bit of dialogue, even when the listener is expecting moments of obvious emotional and climactic responses. Given her important role in the story with our favorite DI who we are rooting for, it is somewhat of a let-down, somewhat frustrating to hear the constant unvarying monotone voice. Audible books / audio books can take unknown or little known authors works over the top and provide it exposure to tens of thousands of listeners outside the authors country of publication. I really like Mr Boyd's works and this publisher but fixing this narration issue seems necessary to attain the next level of international readership (listenership). Great book and awesome narration.. I just adore Dixon. His and Janes relationship is without passion but they do say some cute things to each other. And they're always so professional. Even though they are sleeping together, and everyone knows it, it's funny how every time Dixon asks her to do something she always ends her answer with "sir." This time theyre looking for the murderer of a would-be jockey. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/Death-of-a-Nag-Audiobook/B002V1NVUM Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

( Booklist) Members Reviews: Dreadful narration Hamish sounds like hes from India! What happened to the usual narrator? Truly truly awful One of the gloomier ones This particular one seemed less funny overall and dragged a bit for me. However, it did wind up well, with good twists in the plot. I will certainly continue the series in any case, after a short break. Fun and familiar Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not? Yes, easy listening, charming characters and a good escape. Would you be willing to try another book from M. C. Beaton? Why or why not? Always, not complex but a fun read. What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike? Davina Porter has improved her Scots dialect immensely from the earlier books. If this book were a movie would you go see it? No, but I might watch on television as a series. https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/pd/Mysteries-Thrillers/The-Disappeared-Audiobook/B00IZOPOOA Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/audiobook/577/]]> to download full audiobooks of your choice for free.

Members Reviews: Narrator tough at first but grew on me A dog finds a dead body: a young woman cut into two big pieces, but missing her head and hands. Soon we realize the story is about finding out who made a snuff film and whether the film is even real. This is the third in a Swedish crime series, and I enjoyed it enough that I'll go back and read the others. It was a little sprawling and long but the fractured time structure with flashes forward to transcripts from an internal affairs investigation into how things went so horribly wrong keep the momentum going. Im still a little confused about what happened, and the final scene brings up a mystery as to who is watching the film at the end. I like not knowing and I have my theory. Bechdel test: pass. As for the narrator, she speaks like a weary old man. At first I hated it and thought there was no way I could finish the book but after an hour, her voice really grew on me and disappeared into the background. Her voice perfectly captures the personality of the lead detective. Very bad performance I listened to only 10 minutes of this book and could not listen to any more of it. I have no idea if the story is good or not. The reader had a very distracting and annoying accent.
