Robb Narrator: Susan Ericksen Format: Unabridged Length: 13 hrs and 25 mins Language: English Release date: 01-30-18 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 5 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: Lieutenant Eve Dallas returns in the new novel by the #1 New York Times bestselling master of suspense, and takes on a case of death imitating art... It was a stab in the dark. On a chilly February night, during a screening of Psycho in midtown, someone sunk an ice pick into the back of Chanel Rylan's neck, then disappeared quietly into the crowds of drunks and tourists in Times Square. To Chanel's best friend, who had just slipped out of the theater for a moment to take a call, it felt as unreal as the ancient black-and-white movie up on the screen. But Chanel's blood ran red, and her death was anything but fictional. Then, as Eve Dallas puzzles over a homicide that seems carefully planned and yet oddly personal, she receives a tip from an unexpected source: an author of police thrillers who recognizes the crime - from the pages of her own book. Dallas doesn't think it's coincidence, since a recent strangulation of a sex worker resembles a scene from her writing as well. Cops look for patterns of behavior: similar weapons, similar MOs. But this killer seems to find inspiration in someone else's imagination, and if the theory holds, this may be only the second of a long-running series. The good news is that Eve and her billionaire husband Roarke have an excuse to curl up in front of the fireplace with their cat, Galahad, reading mystery stories for research. The bad news is that time is running out before the next victim plays an unwitting role in a murderer's deranged private drama - and only Eve can put a stop to a creative impulse gone horribly, destructively wrong. From the author of Echoes in Death, this is the latest of the edgy, phenomenally popular police procedurals that Publishers Weekly calls "inventive, entertaining, and clever." Members Reviews: great addition to this series Dark in Death by J. D. Robb is the 46th book in her fantastic In Death series. I am one of the proud fans who can say that I have read every single book, including novellas in this seriesâ..and I never ever want it to end. I have said this so many timesâI love Eve & Roarke; the best literary couple ever. Ok, now letâs move on to my review. Dark in Death begins when Eve has just gotten home from a long day at work, when her phone rings to summon her to a murder scene. Eve and Peabody will begin to investigate the gruesome death of an actress in a movie theater, which was showing the film Psycho. The actress was stabbed in the back of her neck with an ice pick, and there were no witnesses, since everyone in the theater was engrossed in the wild violent shower scene of the movie. A well known author comes forth to mention that the murder scene resembles one of her books. In a short time, Eve will realize that this is not the first murder, as a recent death also resembles another of the authorâs books. The race is now on to find the now serial killer before they kill again. Eve and Roarke begin to read the authorâs books to find clues to who & how will be next. I thought this was a great theme, especially since Eve Dallas written by J.D. Robb is also a murder themed series. It was kind of a different storyline for Robb (aka Nora Roberts), and yet very interesting. What follows is an intense and suspenseful case, with the team desperate to find the murderer.

Title: Breaking Point Author: Allison Brennan Narrator: Ann Marie Lee Format: Unabridged Length: 14 hrs and 27 mins Language: English Release date: 01-30-18 Publisher: Macmillan Audio Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: From New York Times best-selling author Allison Brennan comes the newest audiobook in the Lucy Kincaid series. Bella Caruso survived a nightmare of abuse and betrayal. Today, she has dedicated her life to saving other young women from the hell that almost killed her - first as an officer of the law, then by stepping outside the law and into the darkness where true evil dwells. Now, it appears that the darkness has taken her once again. JT Caruso often worries about his sister, given her line of work. This time, when he learns that Bella is working undercover to find a missing girl involved in a dangerous prostitution ring, JT asks FBI Special Agent Lucy Kincaid for help. Even with Lucy's extensive experience in running down human traffickers, finding Bella will not be easy. Not only because she is in too deep. But because Bella, who will not rest until she saves the girl, doesn't want to be found.... From start to finish, Breaking Point is an audiobook that will get your heart racing. Critic Reviews: "If you haven't been reading this truly exceptional Lucy Kincaid series, then you have been missing out...mind-blowing." ( RT Book Reviews) "Brennan [is] a master." (Associated Press) "Can't-put-it-down suspense." ( Fresh Fiction) Members Reviews: It is part of a series and could stand alone but the reader might understand the relationships between the characters better by reading previous books in the series Bella is deep under cover with a powerful figure in the sex trade business, specifically underage girls. Bella lived it years ago and now is searching for a specific young girl but she also has a goal of shutting down the network. She is so deep undercover she may have lost her perspective. FBI agent Lucy gets involved in the case but she has a new boss. Things arenât going well with her new boss which creates problems for Lucy and her work on the investigation. The details about the sex trade, underage young girls being forced into prostitution, were hard to read. This novel was fast paced and hard to put down. It is part of a series and could stand alone but the reader might understand the relationships between the characters better by reading previous books in the series. Thank you to net galley for an advanced readers copy. Super Thriller The name of the author of this book, Breaking Point is Allison Brennan. This is a story in her Lucy Kincaid series. That's all I needed to see to know that by picking up this book I was about to have a very exciting, very suspenseful adventure. As expected this story has a very well-thought-out. well-developed plot with lots of surprises and suspense. As well as being a story about one of my favorite characters, Lucy Kincaid and the various other personalities that are usually featured in the Lucy Kincaid series this story also highlights Bella Caruso, sister to J.T. Caruso of RCK, Rogan-Caruso-Kincaid Protective Services. In this book Bella Caruso, pretending to be a doctor, is deep undercover with a prostitution/human trafficking ring. Bella is such a complex character yet Allison Brennan brings her to life in such a way that the reader can empathisize with her as well as stress with her about the part she plays in assisting such despicable characters. I found myself rooting loudly for Bella's cause and success.

Critic Reviews: "[Morse is] the most prickly, conceited, and genuinely brilliant detective since Hercule Poirot." (The New York Times Book Review) "[Dexter] is a magician with character, story construction, and the English language....Colin Dexter and Morse are treasures of the genre."

This review is about this particular edition, NOT the original book by Colin Dexter. This edition is a simplified version re-written for people learning English as a second language, written at a level for 8-10 year old children. It is NOT the original novel. I guess it was my error not realizing what it was, but it was not clear what it was from the Amazon page I ordered it from. As Advertised As Advertised OK ok Good read One of the interesting aspects of this book is that Colin Dexter is also deaf. He too lives in a 'silent world'. Exellent read that will keep you up late Every Colin Dexter Inspector Morse book I have read has been excellent..gripping, surprising and intellectually stimulating. Not for simpletons but great reads for those seeking "more".

Title: Perish Author: Lisa Black Narrator: Kirsten Potter Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 13 mins Language: English Release date: 01-30-18 Publisher: Dreamscape Media, LLC Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: The scene of the crime is lavish but gruesome. In a luxurious mansion on the outskirts of Cleveland, a woman's body lies gutted in a pool of blood on the marble floor. The victim is Joanna Moorehouse, founder of Sterling Financial, and the killer could be any one of her associates. Maggie knows that to crack the case, she and Jack will have to infiltrate the cutthroat world of high-stakes finance. But the offices of Sterling Financial seethe with potential suspects, every employee hell-bent on making a killing. When another officer uncovers disturbing evidence in a series of unrelated murders, the investigation takes a surprising detour. Only Maggie recognizes the blood-soaked handiwork of a killer who has committed the most heinous of crimes - and will continue to until he is stopped. Burdened with unbearable secrets, Maggie must make an agonizing choice - while her conscience keeps telling her that she's next. Members Reviews: I Love This Series! Many thanks to the author / Kensington Books / Netgalley for the advanced digital copy. Opinions expressed here are unbiased and entirely my own. Maggie Gardiner, Forensic expert, and Jack Renner, Homicide Detective each have a deep dark secret that no one knows except each other. These secrets, if uncovered, could cost each of them their jobs or their very lives. This is the 3rd of a series. While this one does well as a stand alone, I would highly recommend starting with THAT DARKNESS and then UNPUNISHED. There are spoilers in this book that would damage the reading pleasure of this wonderful series. Maggie is called to process the murder scene of the founder of Sterling Financial. Joann Moorehouse was brutally murdered. There were no clues, no DNA, no motive .... Until the detectives start looking into the victim's background. Not very well liked at work, there are multiple suspects ... and as they say ... everyone lies. Maggie and Jack know that the killings have only started ... more bodies will fall. The author certainly did her research in this one. I now know more about loans and mortgages and high finance than I ever knew before. Money is the root of all evil ..is this the motive for these killings? As always with this author, the book is well-written with stand-out characters. Secondary characters such as Jack's partner, Riley, and Maggie's ex-husband, Rick, also a homicide detective lend credibility to the story. The suspense drew me in starting with the first page and the unexpected ending left me totally surprised. I am looking forward to the next chapter of their lives in SUFFER THE CHILDREN, due to be published August 2018. CSI meets DEXTER! Jack and Maggie have settled in to a somewhat shaky truce. He may have a rather unorthodox hobby, but he does work well with Maggie and his partner. I like to think of them as CSI meets Dexter. There were suspects coming out of the woodwork here and all had different reasons for wanting to get rid of the boss. There were so many unlikable characters in this book that I was actually cheering for the serial killer cop! The story revolves around Sterling, and we get more than a few lessons on finances and shady mortgage lenders and what is legal is not always ethical, and as much as I love a good Lisa Black novel, about half of that could be taken out.

Title: Hardwick: Season 1 Box Set, Episodes 1-6 Author: Tom Meitner Narrator: Harmon Gamble Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 5 mins Language: English Release date: 04-03-17 Publisher: Tom Meitner Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: Who framed Charlie Hardwick? Sixteen years ago Officer Charlie Hardwick was sentenced to life in prison for the murder of his partner. Today he has been exonerated for the crime and given his life back. In lieu of a massive settlement, he is now a homicide detective with the Chicago Police Department. His partner has her own questionable past. His chief has serious doubts about his innocence. And he has a city full of murders to solve. But while he adjusts to his new life, he's obsessed over his own case: Who murdered his partner? Who framed him for it and sent him to jail? And why? This is the first season of Hardwick - six episodes total, each with its own case for Charlie to solve: Episode 1: "Smokescreen" The season premiere. Charlie adjusts to his new job and new life while his chief warns him not to get anywhere near his own case. Episode 2: "Domestic Affairs" A local politician turns up dead, and he has a long list of enemies who could have done it. Episode 3: "Snapshot" A serial killer is sending photos of his victims to the Chicago PD, taunting them with each murder that he gets away with. Episode 4: "Infamous" The most popular girl in high school is murdered. Her body is found on campus. And there's enough gossip to keep the detectives guessing. Episode 5: "Structural Damages" How does a dead body wind up in the wall of a new home? The answer will show Charlie a side of the city - and his partner - he's never seen. Episode 6: "Cold Case" A scientist is found a victim of her own technology - and Charlie follows the trail...right back to his own case. This is a clean crime series loaded with thrilling police procedural stories in a format for anyone to enjoy. Members Reviews: Who killed Pete? Charlie Hardwick is a good cop. Framed for the murder of his partner, he spends a lot of years in prison, where he has plenty of time to think. When DNA evidence proves his innocence, he sue the city to get his job back. Since he didn't kill his partner, that means that whoever did is still out there walking around. The main thread of Season 1 is Charlie investigating his partner's death. Each episode has it own crime that need to be solved. You can read each episode as a novella, or the entire season at once. Either way it is good reading! Real Life Depiction of Daily Life as a Homicide Detective Tom Meitner has artfully captured the daily struggles of a veteran law enforcement officer as he tries to find truth and honor in a world fraught with deciet and treachery. This series is an excellent adventure for the avid reader of crime fiction. As a former major crimes detective I know from first hand experience this is a very plausible tale. Don't pass this series by or you will miss the excitement of traveling with this haggard detective as he unravels the truth. Season One Hardwick I appreciated the stories in between Hardwick's investigation of his own case. Please send me the next part..... Great story, you have to find out the answer Had to get them all. Great story, you have to find out the answer. Reminds me of the TV show "Life" which I loved as I do this book! Great stories!!!! This book has six different stories in it. But first let me tell you all of them involve Charlie Hardwick, a police officer who was wrongly convicted of killing his partner. He has been exonerated and is now a homicide detective.

Two Kinds of Truth Audiobook by Michael Connelly

Title: Two Kinds of Truth Author: Michael Connelly Narrator: Titus Welliver Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 54 mins Language: English Release date: 10-31-17 Publisher: Hachette Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 5517 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: Harry Bosch searches for the truth in the new thriller from NYT best-selling author Michael Connelly. Harry Bosch is back as a volunteer working cold cases for the San Fernando Police Department and is called out to a local drugstore where a young pharmacist has been murdered. Bosch and the town's three-person detective squad sift through the clues, which lead into the dangerous, big business world of pill mills and prescription drug abuse. Meanwhile, an old case from Bosch's LAPD days comes back to haunt him when a long-imprisoned killer claims Harry framed him and seems to have new evidence to prove it. Bosch left the LAPD on bad terms, so his former colleagues aren't keen to protect his reputation. He must fend for himself in clearing his name and keeping a clever killer in prison. The two unrelated cases wind around each other like strands of barbed wire. Along the way Bosch discovers that there are two kinds of truth: the kind that sets you free and the kind that leaves you buried in darkness. Members Reviews: Solid Bosch story touching on live issues If, like me, you've been wary of any return to Bosch-as-Jason-Bourne since the rather silly '9 Dragons' you'll be relieved to know he's back on sold home ground here, tackling the opioid crisis and good old legal corruption in his nominally part-time role for the SFPD. (Not *that* SFPD!) Writing for the screen version seems to have re-energised Connelly, and it's easy to imagine Titus Welliver drifting sardonically through these bleached-out urban and desert landscapes where a lying president, Russian bad-guys and a failing underclass are very much live issues. Welliver has become Bosch in the way that Suchet has become Poirot, and effortlessly handles playing both 'himself' and the variety of other characters he encounters. A great listen! Bosch Survives Two Career Ending Threats This time Harry Bosch goes undercover as an addict hooked on painkillers to catch a couple of murderers. At the same time he is trying to fend off an insinuation of planting evidence in order to convict someone many years ago. The case against him is so good that his old partner and even his daughter wonder if the accusations are true. It looks like the man he sent to death row is going to be released and exonerated after many years languishing in prison. This is the first time Connelly has put Bosch on an extremely dangerous mission. In this engaging listen the two unrelated cases intersect and Harry almost loses his life over it. As always mysteries get solved, but while Harry is good, he needs help from other characters to see clues and resolve the cases. For all the Lincoln Lawyer fans, Harry gets some help from his half brother in defending himself on his old collar of a murderer. Someone heavily criticized the narrator of this book and I don't see it - for me Titus does a superb job. I guess there are two kinds of truth for all of us. Harry, Mickey and Jerry=bases loaded! You dont have to be a long-time fan of Bosch to get into this double story line. The back stories blend well enough into the current story lines that new fans can get into the groove of being a Harry fan. What is so great about this book is there are characters fans have enjoyed over the years and all fleshed out in a way new fans will get it.

Title: A Merciful Secret Subtitle: Mercy Kilpatrick, Book 3 Author: Kendra Elliot Narrator: Teri Schnaubelt Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 55 mins Language: English Release date: 01-16-18 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 84 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: A pair of ritual murders could expose Mercy Kilpatrick to something terrifying: her own past... Raised off the grid by survivalists, Mercy Kilpatrick believed in no greater safeguard than the backwoods of Oregon. Unforgiven by her father for abandoning the fold for the FBI, Mercy still holds to her past convictions. They're in her blood. They're her secrets - as guarded as her private survival retreat hidden away in the foothills. In a cabin near her hideaway, Mercy encounters a young girl whose grandmother is dying from multiple knife wounds. Hundreds of miles away, a body is discovered slashed to death in a similar way. The victims - a city judge and an old woman living in the woods - couldn't be more different. With the help of police chief Truman Daly, Mercy must find the killer before the body count rises. Mercy knows that the past has an edge on her. So does her family. How can she keep her secrets now...when they're the only things that can save her? Members Reviews: Great Series! Secrets just never seem to stay a secret. Very good book in the Mercy Kilpatrick (the prepper FBI) series. Fast paced with some very strange family relationships. Two murder victims. One is a judge, the other is an older woman living so far back in the woods you have to know she lives there to find her. The locals say she's a witch. Both stabbed to death with the same stab pattern. Something connects these two but you won't find out what it is until about 3/4 of the through the book. Excellent narration by Terri Schnaubelt. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. If you found this review helpful please indicate so. Thank You. Lots of mystery, action, very intense suspense,... ...and a bit of romance. Author Kendra Elliot has another big winner in her Mercy Kilpatrick series. Oh, there is also the great narration. I loved it This was a great addition to the series. I love Mercy and Truman. This is a great series. I can't wait for the next one to continue their story. Definitely worth a credit! Became tedious at times. To much introspection. The story could have been good, but the "strong" female character was meek and indecisive. Another great Mercy Kilpatrick book I love the entire Mercy Kilpatrick series & was happy to see another book in the series come out. I can fall right into the stories from the first few sentences & just cannot stop listening til Im though the book, then Im sad at finishing and waiting for another book about Mercy & her life to come out. She & the characters have become my friends & they are easy to visualize with the narration of Teri Schnaubelt. I hope she continues to narrate all in this series. Her change from character to character is smooth & not forced or false. Do yourself a favor & listen to the whole series.

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 5797 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: Two girls are forced into the woods at gunpoint. One runs for her life. One is left behind.... Twenty-eight years ago, Charlotte and Samantha Quinn's happy small-town family life was torn apart by a terrifying attack on their family home. It left their mother dead. It left their father - Pikeville's notorious defense attorney - devastated. And it left the family fractured beyond repair, consumed by secrets from that terrible night. Twenty-eight years later, Charlie has followed in her father's footsteps to become a lawyer herself - the ideal good daughter. But when violence comes to Pikeville again - and a shocking tragedy leaves the whole town traumatized - Charlie is plunged into a nightmare. Not only is she the first witness on the scene, but it's a case that unleashes the terrible memories she's spent so long trying to suppress. Because the shocking truth about the crime that destroyed her family nearly 30 years ago won't stay buried forever. Packed with twists and turns, brimming with emotion and heart, The Good Daughter is fiction at its most thrilling. Members Reviews: Karin Slaughter has done it again! As stated by the other reviewers, you can always count on Karin Slaughter for a good read/listen. Nor will I restate the synopsis of this book as I don't want to spoil it for anyone. I will say I was initially a little disappointed that this was not another book in the Will Trent series BUT I have to admit that this book is far from disappointing. Right from the beginning you get a picture of a family that isn't quite right in their interactions. Following the murder of the wife/mother the surviving members loose their cohesion and it takes another 20 years for them to reunite. This is a really good stand alone book and a great place to get acquainted with this author if you've never heard anything written by Slaughter before. She has such a good style of writing and knows how to pull a reader in. Her characters are very well developed and her storyline complex enough with out getting confusing or predictable. In this book she goes back and forth between the present and the past and wraps up with a solid and complete ending (no cliffhangers). I do hope that if this does become a series that it doesn't mean the end of the Will Trent/Sara Linton series. Kathleen Early does a fantastic job narrating. This book has my HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION. If you found this review helpful please indicate so. Thank You. My Vote for THE BEST in 2017 thus Far! If you're a Karen Slaughter fan you will enjoy this book. If you new to her work, give her a try. She has a talent to create strong, complex, rich characters who capture your heart in spite of their flaws, struggles and personal baggage. While I miss Sara and Trent, two of Slaughter's greatest characters, I loved the sisters in this book, Charlie and Sam, almost as well. The Good Daughter is a long novel with a very well developed plot. Reading or listening to the prequel, The Last Breath, may help introduce the some of the characters and provide background details but is not crucial to understand the plot of The Good Daughter so don't worry if you skip it. I love books that invokes my emotions and Slaughter is a master. I felt it all while listening to this book.

After getting a note demanding his presence, Federal Agent Aaron Falk arrives in his hometown for the first time in decades to attend the funeral of his best friend, Luke. Twenty years ago when Falk was accused of murder, Luke was his alibi. Falk and his father fled under a cloud of suspicion, saved from prosecution only because of Luke's steadfast claim that the boys had been together at the time of the crime. But now more than one person knows they didn't tell the truth back then, and Luke is dead. Amid the worst drought in a century, Falk and the local detective question what really happened to Luke. As Falk reluctantly investigates to see if there's more to Luke's death than there seems to be, long-buried mysteries resurface, as do the lies that have haunted them. And Falk will find that small towns have always hidden big secrets. Critic Reviews: "Debut author Jane Harper's fine prose and narrator Steven Shanahan's expert delivery combine for a transcendent Australian noir experience.... Shanahan's accent and speech patterns immerse listeners in the Australian countryside. He also consistently sprinkles in little touches - a stifled yawn, a burp after a swig of beer, a nasally voice for a man with a broken nose - that breathe vivid life into the story and characters." ( AudioFile) Members Reviews: Nothing dry here! I'm surprised by how much I enjoyed this book. The concept is nothing new - man returns to hometown he left in disgrace, gets involved in mystery/drama, leaves a changed man - but this is done very well. Great cast of characters and the murder(s) confounded me the whole time. It was masterful the way Harper interwove the past with the present. It was almost like she brought the past to the present from an array of perspectives until both story lines crossed, and then, didn't. You have to read it to get that last comment. I recommend you do. I got so into it, I had to finish it in one day. LOVED, LOVED, LOVED this one! This is so-o-o-o-o very good! The narration is spectacular -- Shanahan's voice and characterization draws you right to the scene. Most of all, this is an outstanding story with great characters with whom readers can relate. I found the decades old question about the death of a young girl to be an intriguing mystery -- particularly when set against a more current bludgeoning of a young family in the same town. You will think about it after the lights are off, for certain and best of all, the mystery isn't solved until the very end. No cliff hanger, no silly "got it solved" in the first half event. Just a great story all around! Outstanding! It's been a long time since I have listened to a mystery suspense book that was so well written. Not a wasted word nor a dull sentence. I easily gave this book 5 stars all around. Nothing sloppy or formulaic about this book.

She doesnt believe that Edmund House - a convicted rapist and the man condemned for Sarahs murder - is the guilty party. Motivated by the opportunity to obtain real justice, Tracy became a homicide detective with the Seattle PD and dedicated her life to tracking down killers. When Sarahs remains are finally discovered near their hometown in the northern Cascade mountains of Washington State, Tracy is determined to get the answers shes been seeking. As she searches for the real killer, she unearths dark, long-kept secrets that will forever change her relationship to her past - and open the door to deadly danger. Members Reviews: A sister never gives up What did you love best about My Sister's Grave? I enjoyed Tracy sharing memories of her sister, learning how much they loved each other. Tracy never gave up looking for his sister and was very determined to learn the truth of what happened to her. Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How? There were a few dull moments, but for the most part I was entertained throughout the book. I liked that there were several twists that could have led to various outcomes. I went back and forth on who I thought the murderer was a few times, so it wasn't completely clear-cut. What three words best describe Emily Sutton-Smiths voice? Very good narrator. (Another book that could really use both male and female readers, but all in all it wasn't a bad listen.$ Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? Yes! There is a chant that the sisters said with each other and it is first revealed in flash-backs. It is an important part of the plot toward the end of the book, and it reinforced how much the sisters cared for each other. Any additional comments? This is the first book in the Tracy Crosswhite series. I have download the second book, although I haven't had a chance to listen to it yet. I am looking forward to see how Tracy gets on with her life. great book Any additional comments? This is a great book and read by someone with a nice voice. I don't know why other reviews don't like it, as they aren't saying much as to why. It's a thriller! Nice to have on during commutes. I found myself staying in the car and wanting to hear the rest of the chapter. Nice mystery Any additional comments? Having seen this repeatedly recommended for me, I finally succumbed to the Kindle Unlimited with Narration of this book. The narration is clear without distraction. The voices are distinct. But interestingly, the narration was not the one aspect that carried this book. Nor was it the characters. (Im not sure exactly what was lacking, but I did not get emotionally involved or connected with any of the characters.) It was the mystery.

Title: The Late Show Author: Michael Connelly Narrator: Katherine Moennig Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 22 mins Language: English Release date: 07-18-17 Publisher: Hachette Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 5920 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: From New York Times best-selling author Michael Connelly, a new thriller introducing a driven young detective trying to prove herself in the LAPD. Renée Ballard works the night shift in Hollywood, beginning many investigations but finishing none, as each morning she turns her cases over to day shift detectives. A once up-and-coming detective, she's been given this beat as punishment after filing a sexual harassment complaint against a supervisor. But one night she catches two cases she doesn't want to part with: the brutal beating of a prostitute left for dead in a parking lot and the killing of a young woman in a nightclub shooting. Ballard is determined not to give up at dawn. Against orders and her own partner's wishes, she works both cases by day while maintaining her shift by night. As the cases entwine, they pull her closer to her own demons and the reason she won't give up her job, no matter what the department throws at her. Members Reviews: Oh, the narration! Katherine Moennig is a terrific actress. She does a great turn on Ray Donovan. Maybe my favorite character on that show. But this narration isn't good. It's disappointing. She just reads it and reads it fast. I wish she had listened to a few audiobooks ahead of time to see how its done. Such a good voice, such a good actress, this should be better. As far as the story goes, it's hard to tell. Couldn't get past the narration. Uggg the narration It's an audiobook so before the story, the narrator is the most important thing. Here we have been waiting for (1) a new book from my favorite author (2) a new series/character...why than oh why would it narrated soooo very flat!!! Disappointed. Audible and Amazon need to screen narrators better I am a huge Michael Connelly fan and ordered this book pre order without knowing who the narrator would be. I won't ever make that mistake again. This woman is a horrid narrator and miss reads or miss pronounces so many words that it grates on the nerves. Two examples I can think of right off are video-ographer (that's how she pronounces it) and even worse tactile when trying to say tactical channel. It is a shame that these kind of poor narrators are ruining perfectly good novels and I am sure the writers are cringing when they hear these narrations. who is who?? The reading voice and the speed are the same to all the characters in the book. The same voice for male/female/old/young. One size does not fit at all. It is very confusing if you are not reading the book together. I hope The Late Show is the first in a series If you like the Bosch books, chances are you'll like The Late Show!! The lead female character is flawed, like Bosch. The narrator was just ok! The story grabbed my attention right away. I would have given it 5 stars, but the ending was choppy and a little abrupt. I had to replay a section to "transition" to the end. Michael Connelly, if you're reading this please start writing Book 2!

Secrets in Death Audiobook by J. D. Robb

Robb Narrator: Susan Ericksen Format: Unabridged Length: 13 hrs and 2 mins Language: English Release date: 09-05-17 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 2734 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: A new novel in the #1 New York Times bestselling series: Lt. Eve Dallas must separate rumors from reality when a woman who traffics in other people's secrets is silenced. The chic Manhattan nightspot Du Vin is not the kind of place Eve Dallas would usually patronize, and it's not the kind of bar where a lot of blood gets spilled. But that's exactly what happens one cold February evening. The mortally wounded woman is Larinda Mars, a self-described "social information reporter," or as most people would call it, a professional gossip. As it turns out, she was keeping the most shocking stories quiet, for profitable use in her side business as a blackmailer. Setting her sights on rich, prominent marks, she'd find out what they most wanted to keep hidden and then bleed them dry. Now someone's done the same to her, literally - with a knife to the brachial artery. Eve didn't like Larinda Mars. But she likes murder even less. To find justice for this victim, she'll have to plunge into the dirty little secrets of all the people Larinda Mars victimized herself. But along the way, she may be exposed to some information she really didn't want to know... Members Reviews: Delightfully full of secrets! Another great Eve Dallas story. This one is lighter (less gruesomely explicit) than some have been, with great moments of humor. I'd say though that this is one that that doesn't stand alone as well, but leans on several of the others, so it's not a good one to start with if you're unfamiliar with the series. There are direct references in particular to Glory in Death, Portrait in Death, and even Devoted in Death that figure significantly in understanding the story. Nice character relationship moments; they really have settled together into a family. As always, Susan Ericksen delivers them to us with skill. If you're already a fan of the series, I predict you'll enjoy this book. If you're new to it, don't start with this one. You won't appreciate the character moments if you haven't traveled with them a while to get here. A fun who did it. This is book 45 in the series and Robb has not repeated a story. She also changes the formula from time to time to keep the reader engaged. This book is a bit of a change just to keep things exciting. I am amazed that Robbs Death Series is still as exciting and fresh as in the beginning. It is a rare author that can achieve this longevity. The main thing I like about Robb is her fascinating characters. She has a large array of them in this series and brings different ones out to fit the story. In this case, Eve Dallas meets with Dr. Garnet DeWinter, the forensic anthropologist, who works at the city morgue. They are meeting at a new restaurant called Du Vin (no big surprise we find out that Roarke, Eves husband owns the place) for lunch when gossip columnist Larinda Mars arrives and then collapses. Garnet and Eve try to save her but she dies. Eve decides she was murdered and the team is on the case. I started reading this series years ago because it was set in the future about 2060 or so in New York City. I was curious as to how the author would see the future, what stays the same, what is very different, how does technology, automobiles etc. evolve. I found Robbs future quite intriguing. Eva Dallas is a tough, cool-headed, competent detective.

Close to Home Audiobook by Robert Dugoni

Title: Close to Home Subtitle: Tracy Crosswhite, Book 5 Author: Robert Dugoni Narrator: Emily Sutton-Smith Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 49 mins Language: English Release date: 09-05-17 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 1220 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: New York Times bestselling author Robert Dugoni's acclaimed series continues as Tracy Crosswhite is thrown headlong into the path of a killer conspiracy. While investigating the hit-and-run death of a young boy, Seattle homicide detective Tracy Crosswhite makes a startling discovery: the suspect is an active-duty serviceman at a local naval base. After a key piece of case evidence goes missing, he is cleared of charges in a military court. But Tracy knows she can't turn her back on this kind of injustice. When she uncovers the driver's ties to a rash of recent heroin overdoses in the city, she realizes that this isn't just a case of the military protecting its own. It runs much deeper than that, and the accused wasn't acting alone. For Tracy, it's all hitting very close to home. As Tracy moves closer to uncovering the truth behind this insidious conspiracy, she's putting herself in harm's way. And the only people she can rely on to make it out alive might be those she can no longer trust. Members Reviews: Dugoni's Tracy Crosswhite Series Is Awesome Close to Home is the 5 1/2 installment in the series, yet it stands on its on as a great read. It features sterling policework in a complex mystery. It is great to read mysteries with smart criminals and smart cops. The murder case involves military personell, which complicates Crosswhite and her cohorts' investigation as they must manuever carefully in the military justice system. Dugoni uses this complication to expose just how saavy she is as a detective. Its one of the best written mysteries in the genre. One of my favorite themes that runs through the rest of the series is missing here, that is the sexism female detectives like Crosswhite face daily. However, it is replaced with the internal hell opiate addiction brings to good families. The writing is superb. Emily Sutton-Smith is one of the best narrators, period. If this review helps you purchase the book, please vote yes! If you love good police work and intrigue, you will love Close To Home. 5 Star Listen The Tracy Crosswhite series has become one of my absolute favorites. I love the way Dugoni has taken this character and made her someone the reader wants to cheer for and strive to be like in so many ways. Close to Home is the fifth in the series, but can easily be read as a stand-alone novel. There are references to the first book in the series, but nothing about this book makes it necessary to have read the entire series. For me, this was more of a mystery than a suspense thriller. There was not the usual edge of my seat, cant wait to see what is going to happen next moments. Thats not a bad thing, its just different from the way Dugoni has written these books in the past. I enjoyed the way he spent extra time building up a few of the secondary characters we have seen throughout the series. I really enjoyed the different tone to the story with incorporating the military and JAG lawyers. I am a big fan of military shows and novels and thought this fit in so well with the writing of the characters already established in the series.

Rising Sun Audiobook by Michael Crichton

Title: Rising Sun Subtitle: A Novel Author: Michael Crichton Narrator: MacLeod Andrews Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 45 mins Language: English Release date: 09-01-15 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 1917 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: A riveting thriller of corporate intrigue and cutthroat competition between American and Japanese business interests. On the forty-fifth floor of the Nakamoto tower in downtown Los Angeles - the new American headquarters of the immense Japanese conglomerate - a grand opening celebration is in full swing. On the forty-sixth floor, in an empty conference room, the corpse of a beautiful young woman is discovered. The investigation immediately becomes a headlong chase through a twisting maze of industrial intrigue, a no-holds-barred conflict in which control of a vital American technology is the fiercely coveted prize - and in which the Japanese saying "business is war" takes on a terrifying reality. Rising Sun was made into a film, starring Sean Connery. Editorial Reviews: "As well built a thrill machine as a suspense novel can be." - The New York Times Book Review Critic Reviews: "A grand maze of plot twists... Crichton's gift for spinning a timely yarn is going to be enough, once again, to serve a current tenant of the bestseller list with an eviction notice." - New York Daily News Members Reviews: Fan of the book and movie I enjoy a lot of Crichton so when I saw Rising Sun hit audible I snagged it (and Sphere, great book but didn't like the movie). I thought the book was great, it was fun noting the similarities and differences between the book and movie. The performance was pretty good, I even felt like I could hear a bit of Sean Connery in the reading of Connor's lines. Smith is nothing like Wesley Snipes however. In the book the character is white and comes off a bit different. Having seen the movie first and enjoying Snipes as Smith I didn't have any difficulty adjusting to Crichton's original version of Smith and from the beginning was able to get engrossed in the story. The only knock I'd give the performance is how annoying the reader does the voice of Smiths young daughter. Pretty bad. Fortunately she doesn't have many lines. I've read that Crichton took some heat when the book came out, accusations of racism and Japan bashing. Having read that and then listening to this book I can *kind of* see how those criticisms got off the ground but overall I don't think that was his intention. I definitely wouldn't avoid the book based on that. All in all I enjoyed it and am looking forward to moving on to Sphere. Great Book! I've seen the movie, but that didn't take away from the book at all what so ever. Great 'whodunit' with more twists and turns than you'd ever expect! Also the way MC weaves real information into a great story is unbeatable. Definitely recommend. entertaining but one sided liked it but dosent let you forget the book is arguing that the US needs to wage economic war against other economies mystery hidden under repetitive conspiracy theory This is a product of it's time, with respect to international economics, and it's also a preachy and repetitive conspiracy theory......oh, and there's a rather interesting mystery buried underneath it all. I'm not sure whether this is anti-American or anti-Japanese, but it sure seems to be preaching a conspiracy that Japan was (early 90s) poised to take over the US with economics. It says so, again and again.

A white flour bag encased the little body. Three small faces watched from the window, eyes black with terror. The child in the middle spoke without turning his head. "I wonder which one of us will be next?" When a woman's body is discovered in a cathedral and hours later a young man is found hanging from a tree outside his home, Detective Lottie Parker is called in to lead the investigation. Both bodies have the same distinctive tattoo clumsily inscribed on their legs. It's clear the pair are connected, but how? The trail leads Lottie to St Angela's, a former children's home, with a dark connection to her own family history. Suddenly the case just got personal. As Lottie begins to link the current victims to unsolved murders decades old, two teenage boys go missing. She must close in on the killer before they strike again, but in doing so is she putting her own children in terrifying danger? Lottie is about to come face to face with a twisted soul who has a very warped idea of justice. Members Reviews: Couldnt stop listening, great story. The clipped dialog must be adjusted to and the Irish accent a little difficult. But enjoyed the jibes and retorts. Good read. Tangled, strange murder mystery a disappointment Irish church and state history of corruption erupts in vengeance and violence- to what end? I am left scratching my head after finishing "The Missing Ones," perhaps more so than after any mystery/suspense novel in recent memory- and not in a positive way. The mystery or mysteries(?) exist, that is true. In retrospect I can untangle a few different strands of mystery-type plot that either run throughout the whole book or start somewhere and maybe end somewhere, some resolved to some satisfaction or sense, some not at all. I felt that some of the many tangential plots going on were not helpfully contributing to what I think was the author's intended main idea. Some of them were not interesting. Some were just strange. For example, DI Lottie Parker herself is the root of many odd side-plots and anachronisms that I could barely stand. I found this character extremely unlikeable. Often, a main character who is prickly of personality has other redeeming qualities, such as, loyalty to her team, or brilliant detective skills, or extreme dedication in search of the truth. Here, I saw an attempt at a cliched "flawed personality" taken to an unpleasant extreme, if that makes sense. She is unlikeable. No sense of humor (only her loyal sidekick Boyd thinks she is endearing when she swears at him and puts him down constantly, and I mean constantly, and uses him as a drunk-dial when she's black-out drunk, which he falls for every time). To me, no underlying heart of gold. She acts unkindly to pretty much everyone. She is disrespectful to her investigative team. There is no sense of morale. The author deftly describes the cold weather at every turn. We can imagine the cold, gray expanse. We can also imagine a cold, gray incident room.

Four years after serial killer Rudy Cutter was sent away for life, San Francisco homicide inspector Frost Easton uncovers a terrible lie: his closest friend planted false evidence to put Cutter behind bars. When he's forced to reveal the truth, his sister's killer is back on the streets. Desperate to take Cutter down again, the detective finds a new ally in Eden Shay. She wrote a book about Cutter and knows more about him than anyone. And she's terrified. Because for four years, Cutter has been nursing revenge day after stolen day. Staying ahead of the game of a killer who's determined to strike again is not going to be easy. Not when Frost is battling his own demons. Not when the game is becoming so personal. And not when the killer's next move is unlike anything Frost expected. Members Reviews: EXCELLENT ! Leaves you wanting more!!!!! This is another author who consistently writes good books. I don't think I have ever read anything written by him that I didn't like. Fortunately this book follows suit and is an excellent read. Combine this with the Excellent narration by Joe Barrett and you can't go wrong! I really enjoy Barrett's style. He gets sarcasm and delivers flawlessly. This book has a serial killer getting released from prison due to a police officer planting the evidence that got him convicted. Frost Easton was that cops partner. Although he can't officially work on the case because his sister was also a victim, he tries to get enough evidence on the man to send him back. There's no who done it in this book. It a great cat and mouse chase and because the killer begins killing again as soon as he's released. It's a race figure out who future victims might be and get to them before he does. The last 1/2 hour gives one final jaw dropping twist. If you have kindle unlimited the ebook is free and this audio book will cost you $1.99. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this book. If you found this review helpful please indicate so. Thank You. Book 2 in the Frost Easton series The combination of author Brian Freeman and narrator Joe Barrett is difficult to beat! The Voice Inside is very different from The Night Bird which is Book 1 in the Frost Easton series. This is an outstanding police procedural set in San Francisco. When I thought the novel was ending the story continued with a plot twist that identifies a second antagonist. Listen to This One! This is my second book by Brian Freeman. I have enjoyed both of the stories. As usual, Joe Barrett is outstanding and makes a good story into great entertainment and a night of lost sleep . This is the second book in the Frost Easton ser

Audiofile Magazine AN AUGUST 2017 LibraryReads PICK! When a mysterious figure appears in Three Pines one cold November day, Armand Gamache and the rest of the villagers are at first curious. Then wary. Through rain and sleet, the figure stands unmoving, staring ahead. From the moment its shadow falls over the village, Gamache, now Chief Superintendent of the Sûreté du Québec, suspects the creature has deep roots and a dark purpose. Yet he does nothing. What can he do? Only watch and wait. And hope his mounting fears are not realized. But when the figure vanishes overnight and a body is discovered, it falls to Gamache to discover if a debt has been paid or levied. Months later, on a steamy July day as the trial for the accused begins in Montréal, Chief Superintendent Gamache continues to struggle with actions he set in motion that bitter November, from which there is no going back. More than the accused is on trial. Gamaches own conscience is standing in judgment. In Glass Houses, her latest utterly gripping audiobook, number-one New York Times bestselling author Louise Penny shatters the conventions of the crime novel to explore what Gandhi called the court of conscience. A court that supersedes all others. Members Reviews: Louise Penny..unparalleled I have read all 13 of her books and had the privilege to hear her in person. She never fails to deliver: A great storyline, endearing characters, and mystery to the end. Stunning revelations, thoughtful police work. For most of the Three Pines series the characters and village overpower really good mysteries. (This is not criticism, because every book in the series features great mysteries and equally clever police work.) Glass Houses breaks the trend with the mystery unfolding, after the fact, in the trial of the murder. It is clever storytelling at its best. Inspector Gamache is now the head of Montreal police. This is another place Penny shines, by exposing Gamache's genius and discipline in police politics and investigation above his personality. We know from past novels he does not covet power. For the first time we are exposed to just how cunning and brilliant he is by how he runs the police force. A good murder mystery, a better police story, Glass House stands out as my favorite novel in the series. It is an extraordinary work. PENNY GETS A PASS "Glass Houses" was not my favorite Louise Penny story; it is rather tiresome in many sections, and some scenes that might have been interesting went on far too long. There are still some of the great Louise Penny elements of action, surprise, humor and warmth that kept me listening to the end, but just barely. The book was written before and after her husband's death, though, so she gets a great big pass from me for writing a book that wasn't up to her usual standards. Not my favorite Penny Penny usually wins for being deeply specific, both for place and character. In this story the places were the usual parts of 3 Pines with little of it really coming to life, and even the church root cellar (the new discovery) somehow failed to seem really present or interesting.

Benched on a desk assignment for twelve months, Angie struggles to maintain her sense of identity - if she's not a detective, who is she? Then a decades-old cold case washes ashore, pulling her into an investigation she recognizes as deeply personal. Angie's lover and partner, James Maddocks, sees it, too. But spearheading an ongoing probe into a sex-trafficking ring while keeping Angie's increasing obsession with her case in check is taking its toll. As startling connections between the parallel investigations emerge, Maddocks realizes he has even more than Angie's emotional state to worry about. Driven and desperate to solve her case, Angie goes rogue, risking her relationship, career, and very life in pursuit of answers. She'll learn that some truths are too painful to bear, and some sacrifices include collateral damage. But Angie Pallorino won't let it go. She can't. It's not in her blood. Members Reviews: WOW! The intensity is palpable! The Lullaby Girl is the second novel in Loreth Anne White's Angie Pallorino series. Listening to The Drowned Girls first is not necessary in order to appreciate this very dark and disturbing novel. Angie Pallorino is a police detective in Vancouver, BC, Canada. The Lullaby Girl is about Pallorino discovering the personal history she does not remember prior to being found on church steps at age 4. Where did she com from? Who were her parents? Did she have siblings? This is an almost uniquely intense suspense mystery. The narration is first rate. Enjoyable but Listen to Drowned Girls First! This is the second in the Angie P. series written by Loreth Anne White. Julie McKay is a truly fantastically talented voice performer! I have a strong feeling order will matter in this series and definitely for the first and second book. This book with makes far more sense after reading Drowned Girls. White is not shy writing steamy sex scenes with vivid vocabulary and descriptions that I do not particularly enjoy and this is one of the reasons its only a four-star story for me, but if its your thing then you might like the story more than I. The producers the descriptions are adequate so I wont go into to story to avoid any spoilers. I have listened to several books narrated by McKay recently and have really noticed talent. Lets face it, if you are reading this, then you know very well that Audible members pay extra money for the audiobook for a reason. I do so for a medical reason. I have debilitating headaches but love to read, so audiobooks allow me to not only the ability to read still but without all the extra eye strain caused by the light required to either read in print or ebook formats. I say all this to demonstrate my need for audio versions and to underline the fact that not everyone can produce a talented narration. Many are so untalented that they actually make a good story unbearable to enjoy listening. McKay is far from falling into this category! She is a master in her subtle use of inflection. Her voice range is more limited than some other voice masters but she makes up for it with her use of tone, pitch, emotional expression, and inflection.

Title: Dead Stop Author: Barbara Nickless Narrator: Emily Sutton-Smith Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 52 mins Language: English Release date: 10-03-17 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 280 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: The search for a missing child leads a courageous railway cop down a twisted trail of murder. It's been five months since Special Agent Sydney Parnell survived a violent confrontation with a gang of brutal thugs, an encounter that left her physically and emotionally scarred. Deep down, Sydney fears she isn't ready for another investigation. But when a woman is murdered on the train tracks and a child goes missing, she knows she's the only one who can lead the hunt for the killer. While Denver police and the FBI chase down blind alleys, Sydney focuses on a single cryptic clue left behind at the crime scene - one that will send her down a path of greed, violence, and long-ago love. With Denver beset by a series of monsoonlike thunderstorms that threaten to flood the city, Sydney and her K9 partner, Clyde, must wade through a murky trail of murder that stretches back thirty years - all to rescue a child...and catch a killer with a long memory and an insatiable appetite for destruction. Members Reviews: Good sequel- first is better... This is a good follow up to Blood on the Tracks. When a woman (the daughter-in-law of the railroad owner) supposedly commits suicide on the train tracks and her little girl is abducted there is a good foundation for a mystery. But this is a mystery that began almost 30 years ago. It has everything you would expect in a good mystery: Sex, betrayal, infidelity, money, love, a heroine railroad cop (Sydney Parnell) who suffers from PTSD and major feelings of guilt for the things she done in her past to protect. Now she's on a mission to save the little girl along with her ex military dog Clyde. This is a good book, it does get a little complicated at times with the different relationships and quite a few characters. The ending is a segue into Sydney's future in law enforcement and a change in agencies. Emily Sutton-Smith does a very good job narrating. If you found this review helpful please indicate so. Thank You. Sydney and Clyde - Book 2 Dead Stop is Book 2 in the Special Agent Sydney Parnell series by Barbara Nickless. I've looked forward to his novel since Blood on the Tracks was released one year ago. Sydney Rose Parnell is a special agent for a railway line and she is stationed in Denver. She is also an ex-Marine who has a K9 named Clyde. The potential listener should read the publisher's summary which sets up the novel. Compared to the first novel in the series, which I rated 5 stars, the Dead Stop plot is more gritty/graphic/raw as it deals with in more detail with Sydney's PTSD and murders going back 30 years. I like both Blood on the Tracks and Dead Stop equally well. Emily Sutton-Smith's narration is superb. Listeners who enjoy great suspense mysteries will enjoy this outstanding police procedural. Listening to the series in order is unnecessary, but doing so provides useful background. Intense, Gritty, Raw And Amazing Todays literary field is covered with about a half million books a year, and it seems many writers believe all they have to do is sit down at a keyboard and type. They could learn a thing or two from Barbara Nickless. Her new book, Dead Stop, is impeccably researched. From police procedural aspects to railroad facts and even right down to the mental challenges faced by her lead character, Sydney Rose Parnell, Ms.

What great character chemistry. looking forward to the next book. a little silly the main female character seemed a little airheaded for someone that was supposed to be military trained and I don't know of any police officer that would say "to the max" about any thing the whole book seemed a little teenagerish amazing this book kept me on the edge. so many twist and turns. i was deeply engrossed until the end. Very good Really enjoyed this book. It was my first by this author, and I hope there will be more to follow. Great story line and great character development. Well worth the credit! Briilliant. A fast paced on the edge of your seat story with great characters and Kane is a hunk. I was so terrified listening, I couldn't stop until the credits. Crazy good. All I can say is when is the next book due for release? More please.

Title: In the Clearing Subtitle: The Tracy Crosswhite Series, Book 3 Author: Robert Dugoni Narrator: Emily Sutton-Smith Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 20 mins Language: English Release date: 05-17-16 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 3226 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: Detective Tracy Crosswhite has a skill, and a soft spot, for tackling unsolved crimes. Having lost her own sister to murder at a young age, Tracy has dedicated her career to bringing justice and closure to the families and friends of victims of crime. So when Jenny, a former police academy classmate and protégé, asks Tracy to help solve a cold case that involves the suspicious suicide of a Native American high school girl forty years earlier, Tracy agrees. Following up on evidence Jenny's detective father collected when he was the investigating deputy, Tracy probes one small town's memory and finds dark, well-concealed secrets hidden within the community's fabric. Can Tracy uphold the promise she's made to the dead girl's family and deliver the truth of what happened to their daughter? Or will she become the next victim? Members Reviews: Incredible Story, Smart Police Procedural I loved this book! Tracy Crosswhite is an incredible detective and wonderful character. And there are actually two really fascinating cases in this novel that require excellent police work. The Clearing revolves around a cold case which was ruled a suicide some 40 years earlier. Crosswhite's friend's father, now dead, was new in the sherrif's department when the events occurred. He had well founded suspicions that the victim, an 18 year old Native American, was actually murdered. His inexperience renders him powerless as well as voiceless. He subsequently began a private investigation on his own, one that would last 40 years until his death. Crosswhite picks up the case on her own time, aided with modern forensics unavailable to law enforcement at the time of the crime. Dugoni introduces us to characters living with the very real and tragic effects of violence, guilt, shame and lies. This is truly one of the best novels I've read lately. I would put this up with John Hart's Redemption Road as the best mysteries of the year. Decent addition I have read all the books in this series so far. While the books aren't great, they are good enough that I continue reading them. This book is a decent and entertaining addition to the series. There are two distinct mysteries in this book that the detectives are attempting to solve. While this could easily lead to a disjointed and convoluted read, the author manages to present both stories in a way that works, until it doesn't. Quite a few times I was left with the impression that the secondary case was a space filler and it left me wishing the author had just focused on one case and developed it a lot more. I think that would have made this a much better book. This Series Just Keeps Getting Better! This is the 3rd book in the series featuring Seattle detective Tracy Crosswhite. Each book has been better than the last - the characters continue to develop and the plots are intriguing without relying on a overdose of violence and gore. There's just enough flavor of Seattle to be interesting to a Seattle native but enough fictionalized background so it doesn't feel like an attempt to recreate the city in every detail. The main characters are likable and their personal lives are interesting but not soap-opera-ish.

But it doesn't end with Sunday. Listen to Sunday Silence, the new novel in the series that Louise Penny calls "fabulous, unsettling, and riveting" - and brace yourself for the breathtaking series finale in summer 2018. Lover of London, gifted psychologist, frequent police consultant - Frieda Klein is many things. And now she's a person of interest in a murder case. A body has been discovered in the most unlikely and horrifying of places: beneath the floorboards of Frieda's house. The corpse is only months old, but the chief suspect appears to have died more than seven years ago. Except as Frieda knows all too well, he's alive and well and living in secret. And it seems he's inspired a copycat.... As the days pass and the body count rises, Frieda finds herself caught in a fatal tug-of-war between two killers: one who won't let her go and another who can't let her live. Crackling with suspense, packed with emotion, Sunday Silence is a psychological thriller perfect for fans of Elizabeth George and Paula Hawkins. Members Reviews: An appropriate end to a long week I love the Frieda Klein stories. Frieda irritates the he'll out of me, but I also learn from her. I missed a strong Carlson presence in this book. The transformation of Joseph into a real father made up for it. Complicated characters, and we're left to wonder if Frieda can live with the havoc her obsession with justice wreaks on other lives. Oh So Good! But Will There Be More?? I love this series but weve hit the seventh day. There are no more days leftgreat characters and story line. The narrator is perfect! If you havent read the other books in the series, start at the beginning!! You wont regret it.

When Detective Seth Harding responds to shots being fired, he faces a familiar sight: a double homicide. However, he is shocked to find a young boy chained in the basement. The terrified child refuses to speak, but Seth knows he is the key to something sinister. Reluctantly, Seth calls the only social worker he trusts with the traumatized boy - his wife. Carly is recovering from her own trauma suffered on the job, but she can't turn away from this case, not from another child in trouble. With torrential rain bearing down, threatening to isolate their little town in a killer flood, Seth and Carly know the best way to keep the boy safe from danger is to take him back to their farm. But danger is as relentless as the storm. And it's following them all the way home. Members Reviews: New novella from Melinda Leigh Melinda Leigh follows her four Rogue River Novellas series with the first book in her new Rogue Justice series. The two series have exactly the same characters and the same setting, so Rogue Justice series is merely a continuation of Rogue River. The novellas are set in the real sparsely populated Rogue River and Rogue Valley region of southern Oregon. However, Rogue County and the name of the small town are fictitious. The protagonists are married couple Seth and Carly Harding. Carly comes from the leading family in the county where her dad was sheriff and her brothers are in law enforcement. Her husband is a detective. Her mom is the stabilizing force in the family and in the county. The series are very family focused, but the crimes are real and horrible. Think of the two series as solid police procedurals with strong elements of mystery and suspense, and also with a strong family flavor. I enjoy Melinda Leigh's Rogue novellas and recommend these 3 hour audio books. Kate Rudd does a fine job of narrating. WOW...Need I say more more. this is a must-read. You must read this novel. You won't be able to put it. The charactes are written where are you fall in love with & want to read more. I bought this as this audiobook and really enjoyed listening to the narrator. I can't wait to read or listen to more this author. It is a must-read book. Just okay Over on the story was OK. I wonder if it was written for teenagers which is what it seems like. Romantic suspense! A spinoff of the Rogue River series, Melinda Leigh and Kendra Elliot are bringing back the characters we have grown to love in a new story. This first book by Melinda Leigh has Seth and Carly. These two have been through a lot together, and the stress of their jobs is high. Who would think in the small town of Solitude that so much could happen? Seth is called to the scene of a double murder, when to his surprise he finds a small boy chained in the basement. With Carly's background, she is the obvious choice to come and help this child. And the mystery begins...why is this child there, did he see the horrific murders, who can take care of him now that his mother is gone and father is missing and where is his father? This novella takes us on a fast paced, well written mystery and keeps you on the edge of your seat til the very end! The amazing narration of Kate Rudd is always a pleasure to listen to.

Still scarred from that ordeal, Tracy is pulled into an investigation that threatens to end her career, if not her life. A serial killer known as the Cowboy is killing young women in cheap motels in North Seattle. Even after a stalker leaves a menacing message for Crosswhite, suggesting the killer or a copycat could be targeting her personally, she is charged with bringing the murderer to justice. With clues scarce and more victims dying, Tracy realizes the key to solving the murders may lie in a decade-old homicide investigation that others, including her captain, Johnny Nolasco, would prefer to keep buried. With the Cowboy on the hunt, can Tracy find the evidence to stop him, or will she become his next victim? Members Reviews: Suspenseful, with an admirable protagonist I constantly have a mystery/crime book with me (either to read or listen to) and I am often disgusted by the poor writing and editing that is published. Robert Dugoni is a noticable exception. His writing is crisp, the characters are believable with a mature, intelligent, sensible protagonist.The darkness people can choose to live in is spelled out but there is no doubt that it's not somewhere we want to go. I look forward to reading more from this author. Great psychlogical and police thriller! Her Final Moments is Book 2 in Robert Dugoni's Tracy Crosswhite series. Book 1, My Sister's Grave, was outstanding and Her Final Moments is even better. I look forward to the release of Book 3 in May 2016. Tracy Crosswhite is a Seattle police detective leading a task force hunting for a serial killer of young women who dance at strip clubs. A man has already been convicted of the first murder and is in prison. Crosswhite's boyfriend (Dan, her close friend when she was growing up and is now a successful lawyer) takes on the case of the innocent man imprisoned for the first of the serial murders. Emily Sutton-Smith does a great job of narration. I highly recommend this book but suggest that My Sister's Grave be read first. I'm on the fence between 3 & 4 stars... Would you listen to Her Final Breath again? Why? Doubtful. This is the second book in the Tracy Crosswhite Series. Tracy, a detective and the main character is easy to like. Dan, the lawyer, childhood friend and new love is also a likeable character. The storyline is good for a police procedural/suspense story. It began to wear on my nerves the last couple of hours. The story is solved, the good guys, bad guys, and the pain in the behind characters have all defined their roles. It was time to bring in an editor willing to cut some of the material. This is why I debated between 3 and 4 stars. Who was your favorite character and why? Tracy Crosswhite. Strong female for the main character. If you read the first book, "My Sisters Grave", you know she has a vunerable side. She shows only a small amount of that side in this story, but she is an interesting woman with a lot of baggage. While I really did enjoy the book, some of it feels like a cookie cutter portrayal of the woman who can best the men. Which character as performed by Emily Sutton-Smith was your favorite? The narrator did well with all of the characters.

She's gotten tough on the criminals she believes did this to her. Too tough. And now she's been given one final warning: make it work with her new sergeant, DS Joseph Easter, or she's out. Her partner, DS Joseph Easter, is the handsome, squeaky-clean new member of the team. But his nickname, Holy Joe, belies his former life as a soldier. He has an estranged daughter who blames him for everything that went wrong with their family. Their adversary is a ruthless man who holds DI Galena responsible for his terrible disfigurement. Members Reviews: Exxcellent British police procedural Having lived in the UK for some time years ago it strikes me that many readers will not know about the Fens mentioned in the title of Crime on the Fens. The Fens, also called Fenland, is a below sea level portion of eastern coastal England. It is located in County Essex about 50 miles northeast of London. Like coastal Holland (The Netherlands) it was reclaimed from the sea many centuries ago and it is protected by dikes from the waters of the southern portion of the North Sea. Fenland is the same latitude as Rotterdam. Protagonist Detective Inspector Nikki Galena is a tough cop who manages to stay in trouble because she believes results matter more than rules. In this novel after being issued a final warning about her tough/illegal methods of capturing drug dealers she is assigned as her 30 day partner Detective Sergeant Joseph Easter, a cop with his own issues. They work well together to her surprise. This is an excellent and worthwhile novel. I hope later novels in the series will be released in audio format. Narration by actress Henrietta Meire is outstanding. Her Essex accent is so good that it must be genuine. The Essex accent is more clipped than most English regional accents and can be more difficult for Americans to understand. Very interesting police procedural As I was browsing Audible, I just discovered this book. Not knowing either the author or narrator, I was hesitant to use a credit, but I'm very glad I did. Nikki Galena is evidently an excellent detective, but is on the verge of being thrown off the force for her heavy-handed and unorthodox methods of getting arrests. She is told she will now have to partner with a man who also needs a change, known to his team as "Holy Joe," and the two figure out how to work together for the sake of their careers. This makes for interesting character development through the story, as they take on a case of missing young girls, and tackle the maddening situation of kids leaving around, and sometimes wearing, gruesome masks, everywhere--and nobody understands why. I found the story to be fast-paced, the writing good, and the narration is well done. Quite like this book--hope there are many more in the series. Engrossing The author has written a detective story with just enough difference to make it an interesting read. Our protagonist is Nikki Galena, a hard driving female Detective Inspector. Galena is focused on avenging her daughter who is in a permanent vegetative state in a hospital after she was a victim of crime. Galena is being forced to work with Detective Sergeant Joseph Easter, whose reputation is as questionable as hers.

I like this series, and would love to be able to know what's next. Great series I can't wait until January of 2018 for book #3 in this Mercy Kilpatrick series.

Title: As the Crow Flies Subtitle: A Walt Longmire Mystery, Book 8 Author: Craig Johnson Narrator: George Guidall Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 25 mins Language: English Release date: 05-10-12 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 3513 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: Craig Johnson has won multiple awards and earned starred reviews from Library Journal, Publishers Weekly, and Kirkus Reviews for his New York Times best-selling Walt Longmire mysteries. Embarking on his eighth adventure in As the Crow Flies, Sheriff Longmire is searching the Cheyenne Reservation for a site to host his daughters wedding, when he sees a woman fall to her death. Teaming up with beautiful tribal chief Lolo Long, Walt sets out to investigate the suspicious death. Members Reviews: Simply one of my favorite series. Walt Longmire is one of the most wonderful book characters ever. I'd love to have him as a neighbor and friend. George Guidall has done such an amazing job of giving voice to the big, gentle man. I don't know if this is my favorite book in the series - I like them all. If you have not listened to any of them, start at the beginning and go through them in order. They're each a chapter of Walt's big life. If you ever need something to listen to in the car that will appeal to both men and women, this is the series. Everyone loves Walt. And really, George Guidall could read a phone book and I'd listen. Low voltage cousin to Burke? The setting and central character of C. Johnson's Longmire series invite comparison with James Lee Burke's recent books set in Montana. Both authors evoke landscape and local culture with deft brush strokes which contribute not only vivid visual images but also a sometimes haunting sense of milieu which actively drives the story. Both law officers are Vietnam era vets who have evolved into men who possess tremendous charisma rooted in a wisdom and gentleness born of tragedy, loss and recovery. Both are surrounded by an engaging cast of characters who become more interesting and "real" with each book. Both mine rich veins of mysticism at times in ways which challenge our comfortable assumptions about the limits of reality. That said, there is something much more comfortable, approachable and less visceral (not to mention bloody) in Sheriff Longmire and his adventures. If you seek antagonists who are personifications of evil, you will be disappointed here. Johnson's plots rise most often from the everyday and the prosaic while Burke's almost celebrate the existence of a kind of intrusive malevolence beyond understanding. As a result, instead of the high voltage exhilaration derived from defeating Dave Robicheaux's typically diabolical adversaries, Walt Longmire leaves us with satisfaction at a job well done and a nagging awareness of how most evil springs from roots which are very familiar to all of us. I love both series, but I was less taken by "Crow" than by the previous Longmire novels. The victim never quite mattered enough for me, and it seemed that the investigation took a back seat to the introduction and development of a new character (a very promising one). These books are always driven by character, but the balance seemed a trifle off this time to the point that the climax of the investigation left me wanting more. Still well worth the credit, however, and I have already downloaded the next book in the series. Walt and the Bear This is a rustically charming series with a delightful cast of characters. George Guidall is picture-perfect in the many voices, especially the Bear, Walt's Best friend, a Cheyanne.

Title: Suspect Author: Robert Crais Narrator: MacLeod Andrews Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 30 mins Language: English Release date: 01-22-13 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 10653 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: Audie Award Finalist, Thriller/Suspense, 2014 For 25 years, Robert Crais has written extraordinary novels of crime and suspense. He is "a master of crime fiction" (Associated Press); "his novels get better with every new book" (Portland Oregonian); "Crais is hands-down the worlds greatest crime writer" (The Huffington Post). But in Suspect, he may have written his most remarkable novel of all. LAPD cop Scott James is not doing so well, not since a shocking nighttime assault by unidentified men killed his partner, Stephanie, nearly killed him, and left him enraged, ashamed, and ready to explode. He is unfit for duty - until he meets his new partner. Maggie is not doing so well, either. The German shepherd survived three tours in Iraq and Afghanistan sniffing explosives before she lost her handler to an IED and sniper attack, and her PTSD is as bad as Scotts. They are each others last chance. He was a young cop on the rise; she was bred to guard and protect. Now they are shunned and shunted to the side. They are suspect. And together they will set out to investigate the one case that no one wants them to touch: the identity of the men who murdered Stephanie. Nine months and sixteen days later, they remained free. They were still out there. What they begin to find is nothing like what Scott has been told, and where it will lead them will take them both through the darkest moments of their own personal hells. Whether they will make it out again, no one can say. Thrilling, emotional, intense, with some of the best characters and well-crafted writing in all of crime fiction, Suspect is further proof that "Crais just keeps getting better" (Publishers Weekly). Members Reviews: Gripping Page Turner!! When the prologue makes me hold my breath, and the first chapter keeps me on the edge of my seat, I know I can expect a well thought out thriller. Great narrator too! Crais introduces us to a new hero in this book-a very likable 32 year old LAPD policeman, He and his partner, Stephanie, stumble upon a car accident and violent altercation on a quiet street. In trying to intervene Stephanie is killed, and Scott is severely wounded. Scott eventually gets a new partner- a four legged one. It's hard to make a dog one of the central characters in any book, but Crais does it beautifully. The dog, Maggie, and Scott become a K9 team. Both horribly wounded in the line of duty, they are both written off as "damaged goods" - an evaluation that Scott and Maggie prove to be wrong as they depend upon each other in the search for those who killed Stephanie. I learned a lot from this book about the care, concern, and respect for K9 dogs by fellow officers--and a lot about the training and close bonds that are formed. They are amazing animals. A very worthy read by Robert Crais! For the Pack If you could sum up Suspect in three words, what would they be? loyality, duty, grace Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How? Master Crais is at his very best on this one. My all time favorite, the watchman is being chased by this one and I am only on chapter 9 Which scene was your favorite? many different scenes get to you. Maggie getting a drink out of the big water bowl in the bathroom.

Nothing ever goes easy for detectives Lei Texeira and Michael Stevens. An investigation into heiau desecrations must take a backseat to the emergence of an enemy who targets those closest to them, leaving shrouds as a calling card. Lei and Stevens face challenges of the body, mind, and heart in this seventh in the best-selling Lei Crime Series. Critic Reviews: "Neal is a powerful writer, and her prose is often effortless and elegant." (Kirkus Reviews) Members Reviews: Gripping. Emotional. Thrilling Author Toby Neal and narrator Sara Malia Hatfield hit another Lei Crime novel out of the park. Stolen Hawaiian artifacts are the center of another investigation. Maui police detectives Lei Texeira and her husband Michael Stevens face devastating personal losses while their own lives are in danger. Great read! Manly Men, beware! Well, I've been listening to the entire series after reading the books up to #5. I was a bit chagrined (given what a Manly Man I am...) to realize how emotionally tied up I am to these characters. Extremely enjoyable! Dark indeed, but so GOOD Would you consider the audio edition of Dark Lava to be better than the print version? Easily, i miss so many details as i read so fast...I started reading the series, but now I'm listening to it because it's honestly performed better than my imagination, ha! What other book might you compare Dark Lava to and why? tough, clearly they have similarities to the other books in the series, but this one really stands on it's own...so much happens in this book, i finished it in 3 days as I couldn't stop listening! What does Sara Malia Hatfield bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? she truly speaks life into the characters, seriously, they seem so real, the relationships even...i see them, hear them, and dare i say feel their emotions, and I'm a dude, ha! And I admit the intimate scenes make me a bit uncomfortable as a guy, but that should be taken as a compliment to both author and narrator, as those scenes are well done, and thankfully not written too girly...steamy yes, but tasteful. Seriously, Sara is an exceptional narrator, love her work and I look forward to listening to more of her work...Fire Beach next. Would be curious to hear what she does with other genres and authors. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes, this one's great...one of my favorites so far. Both author and narrator nailed it. Any additional comments? Some of the scenes in here are REALLY well written and performed...the audio samples do not do these audiobooks justice. Trust me, especially if you're from Hawaii or love Hawaii...these are the real deal and so is the local narrator. Thanks Audible, Hana Hou!!

Robb Narrator: Susan Ericksen Format: Unabridged Length: 13 hrs and 43 mins Language: English Release date: 02-07-17 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 3955 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING SERIES... The chilling suspense novel from the author of Brotherhood in Death. After a party in New York, Lieutenant Eve Dallas rides home with her billionaire husband, Roarke, happy to be done with cocktails and small talk. After another party, not far away, a woman retires to her bedroom with her husband - and walks into a brutal nightmare. Their paths are about to collide... When the young woman - dazed, naked, and bloody - wanders in front of their car, Roarke slams on the brakes just in time, and Eve, still in glittering gown and heels, springs into action. It's been a long night for the tired homicide cop, and it's far from over. Daphne Strazza is rushed to the ER, but it's too late for Dr. Anthony Strazza. A brilliant orthopedic surgeon, he now lies dead amid the wreckage of his obsessively organized town house, his three safes opened and emptied. Daphne would be a valuable witness, but in her terror and shock the only description of the perp she can offer is repeatedly calling him "the devil"... While it emerges that Dr. Strazza was cold, controlling, and widely disliked - and that he treated Daphne like a trophy wife - this is one case where the evidence doesn't point to the spouse as the first suspect. So Eve and her team must get started on the legwork, interviewing everyone from dinner-party guests to professional colleagues to caterers, in a desperate race to answer some crucial questions: What does the devil look like? And where will he show up next? Members Reviews: same ol same ol Boring. Not much spice, not much fun. Gruesome crimes without the normal balance of other characters that have made the series so wonderful to read. Probably the least favorite, and I have them all in my library! a bit of a miss missed usual cast I characters no mavis or Charles or Nadine. they were missed and story lacked depth Echoes of past books are starting to take over. Would you try another book from J. D. Robb and/or Susan Ericksen? No question. This is my favorite series of all time and I've listened to or read all of them many times. I love the characters, the narrator, and the plots. I wait for the next one as soon as I finish the last. What could J. D. Robb have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you? Probably because I have listened to them so often, for the first time I started to get bored during this narration with the theme of Eve's past echoing through every case she has. So many phrases, descriptions, dream sequences were taken almost word for word from past books and I'm beginning to be able to predict Eve's words or thoughts. I wish every story wasn't a reflection in some way of Eve's childhood trauma, or didn't draw a paralell from her childhood. I'd love to read of a case which didn't conjure up nightmares for her because it has nothing to do with her past. Which character as performed by Susan Ericksen was your favorite? Peabody and the Peabody/McNabb pair are always my favorites. Sometimes Eve is just too good to be true and in this book I was irritated by her. She fell so far into her past that she became somewhat weak and very much out of character. I enjoy all the secondary players: Dr. Mira, the bullpen cops.

What dark secrets is the girl in the ice hiding? As Erika inches closer to uncovering the truth, the killer is closing in on Erika. The last investigation Erika led went badly wrong...resulting in the death of her husband. With her career hanging by a thread, Erika must now battle her own personal demons as well as a killer more deadly than any she's faced before. But will she get to him before he strikes again? A pause-resisting thriller packed with suspense. If you like Angela Marsons, Rachel Abbott, and Karin Slaughter, discover Rob Bryndza's new series today. Members Reviews: mystery not bad but Erika needs improving The mystery was intriguing enough, but I found Erika Foster lacking. Considering she was supposed to be s very experienced and supposedly capable investigator, she did not act like one. Loses her composure, acts unprofessionally, and ends up the damsel in distress too often for a 25 year veteran. The only reason we know she is supposed to be a damned good cop is because the other characters keep saying so, rather than by her actions. At first I was not happy with the voice performance either, the reader's habit of ending sentences on an uplift made everything sound like a question - making the character sound annoyingly unsure. However considering the way the characterization went, I guess it was suitable after all. There's more that I could say, but it would mean spoiling the plot, so I will stop here. Great detective thriller! I keep 40 to 50 audiobooks as my backup stash for when I run out of my preferred authors. After reading a recent review of this novel by one of the Audible listeners I follow, I dug into the stash to listen to the book. The Girl in the Ice is set in London, The protagonist, Detective Chief Inspector Erica Foster, is a brash, confident, insubordinate, capable, deeply damaged and ultimately brilliant 25 year veteran detective. This is a wonderful novel that I could easily listen to again. Highly recommended! Okay I had high hopes for this book. To be fair, it is an entertaining listen and I was somewhat interested to find out the details of the mystery as it unfolded. However, I never felt truly engaged. This is primarily because I found the character development shallow and boring. I couldn't bring myself to care one way or another about any of the characters. This is a deal breaker for me. Additionally, when the mystery/crime was revealed it seemed convoluted and silly. This book is adequate if you just want light entertainment. I would not read any additional books in the series. I'm not sure I will ever finish I haven't finished this book and I am not sure that I will ever do so. That someone could have become a senior police officer and still be so stupid and reckless is really rankling with me.

Title: The Kept Woman Subtitle: Will Trent, Book 8 Author: Karin Slaughter Narrator: Kathleen Early Format: Unabridged Length: 16 hrs and 10 mins Language: English Release date: 09-20-16 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 4182 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: It's the most dangerous case of Will Trent's career. He knows this from the moment he sets foot in the abandoned Atlanta warehouse where a body lies on the floor - the body of an ex-cop. Bloody footprints leading away from the scene reveal that another victim, evidently a woman, was carried away and has vanished into thin air. And, worst of all, the warehouse belongs to the city's biggest and most high-profile athlete - a local hero protected by the world's most expensive lawyers. A hero married to Will's ex-wife. A hero whom Will's superiors at the Georgia Bureau of Investigation have spent the last six months investigating for rape. But for Will - and also for Sara Linton, the GBI's newest medical examiner - the case is about to get even worse. Because an unexpected discovery at the scene reveals a personal link to Will's troubled past, and the consequences will wreak havoc on his life and the lives of those he loves, those he works with, and those he pursues. Relentlessly suspenseful and furiously paced, The Kept Woman marks Karin Slaughter's triumphant return to her most popular series. Critic Reviews: "As [narrator Kathleen Early] keeps the characters real and the tension high, she never misses the nuances packed into this clever, gripping mystery." ( AudioFile) Members Reviews: I Forgot How Much I Missed All These Characters Would you listen to The Kept Woman again? Why? Maybe once I forget it. I would love to listen to "Criminal" again... that was my favorite in the series and I no longer remember it. What other book might you compare The Kept Woman to and why? Karin Slaughter has her own style of writing. On a side note I do find it funny that all of her people draw blood in their mouth to suppress anger and seem to all have gastric issues with all the bile coming back up everytime they are traumatized. What does Kathleen Early bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Kathleen is a great narrator. I can recognize her without hearing her name by just listening to how proper she prounounced "w" with a "hwuah." There always seems to be a million chances for her to say the word "white" so we can hear "hwuahiite." All kiddding aside though she is one of ther best female narrators out there. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? Karin's books always make me laugh and cry and stay on the edge of my seat. She has a way of making you connect with the characters like no other. Is this the end or new beginning for Angie? Would you listen to The Kept Woman again? Why? Probably will. I often relisten to Karin Slaughter's books a second time. There is usually something I miss along the way. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Okay how about in a day and a half. Any additional comments? I have really enjoyed the Grant county series and then the Will Trent series after that, I really hope the Trent/Linten series continues. That being said, I almost got the feeling that this book is a spinoff of that series into a Angie Polaski series. I could be wrong but this book is like 90% Angie's story and the rest goes to Will and Sara.

Title: The Scarred Woman Subtitle: Department Q, Book 7 Author: Jussi Adler-Olsen Narrator: Graeme Malcolm Format: Unabridged Length: 14 hrs and 25 mins Language: English Release date: 09-19-17 Publisher: Penguin Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 922 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: The New York Times and number-one internationally best-selling author of The Keeper of Lost Causes delivers his most captivating and suspenseful Department Q novel yet - perfect for fans of Stieg Larsson. Detective Carl Mrck of Department Q, Copenhagen's cold cases division, meets his toughest challenge yet when the dark, troubled past of one of his own team members collides with a sinister unsolved murder. In a Copenhagen park the body of an elderly woman is discovered. The case bears a striking resemblance to another unsolved homicide investigation from over a decade ago, but the connection between the two victims confounds the police. Across town a group of young women are being hunted. The attacks seem random, but could these brutal acts of violence be related? Detective Carl Mrck of Department Q is charged with solving the mystery. Back at headquarters, Carl and his team are under pressure to deliver results: failure to meet his superiors' expectations will mean the end of Department Q. Solving the case, however, is not their only concern. After an earlier breakdown, their colleague Rose is still struggling to deal with the reemergence of her past - a past in which a terrible crime may have been committed. It is up to Carl, Assad, and Gordon to uncover the dark and violent truth at the heart of Rose's childhood before it is too late. Members Reviews: Torn, but great Disclaimers: Adler-Olsen is one of my top three favorite authors. He never lets me down. Also, unless you have read some of the previous books in this series, it may seem lack luster. (If you are discerning because compared to most other in the genre, even this one stands out.) On one hand, this latest Department Q edition is the weakest in terms of the mystery/suspense. Even though you have more than one mystery to solve, five to be precise, they aren't as complex and intriguing as the crimes of past books. Plus, I didn't enjoy some of the cliche pot twist tricks. On the other hand, c'mon this is about Department Q! This book focused more on the characters I have grown to love. It's clear that the relationships are becoming deeper, more real and more sincere. And, still can offer humor. I anticipate that the next one (PLEASE BE A NEXT ONE) will continue on this track. All in all, when it ended I wanted more. This is a series I continue to support wholeheartedly. Oh Rose....
I very much enjoyed this story. It was very suspenseful ; just the right amount and not as gut-wrenching as maybe one or two in the past; in this series. We got to know a lot more about Rose. Now if we could just uncover Assad's secrets! And what's the deal with Hardy now? And isn't there more to his original shooting? Looking forward to more! Thank you for the boredom-free commute, Jussi Adler-Olsen. Ok not his best. I hung in there but I think a good editor would have cut lots of excess fluff from the plot and made it better. Compare for example to the cormorant strike (JKR) novels which are as dark but so much tighter. Wonderful as always Piquant interesting characters, fascinating subplots, and lines that motivate a burst of laughter. The author is at the peak of his talent.

I look down at the gown they've put on me. I want my own clothes. I don't know how long I've been here. An elderly woman is found murdered in her own home, and Detective Lottie Parker and her partner Detective Boyd are called in to investigate. When they discover that the victim's daughter is missing as well, they start to fear for the safety of the whole family.... Two days later, as a nearby house is set on fire, and with the body count rising, Lottie and her team begin to unpick a web of secrets and lies, as the murders seem to link back to a case investigated by Lottie's father before he took his own life. With little knowledge of what really happened to her father, Lottie knows this is a case that could give her some answers. But how much does she want to know? And how far is Lottie prepared to dig to uncover the truth? The Lost Child is a thrilling pause-resister from the best-selling author of The Missing Ones and The Stolen Girls that will have you guessing right to the very last minute. Perfect for fans of Rachel Abbott, Angela Marsons, and Robert Dugoni. Members Reviews: A great engaging tale! Believable characters with enough interesting twists to keep me guessing from beginning to end ... very enjoyable :) Please make it a movie I would love to see this turned into film. I've enjoyed the other two books in the series but this one had me on the edge of my seat. It's complicated and surprising. Most of all it's left me urgently craving the next installment in Lottie Parker's life. Can be read as a stand alone. Highly recommend to those who love crime fiction. Good plot. A bit convoluted for audio version Would better in print than audio. I need four more words to post this message. Grrr Wow! Didn't see that coming! Patricia Gibney is an amazing writer! This is the third book of hers that I have read. Each one keeps me at the edge of my seat, waiting to read what is going to happen next! Can't wait for the next one! HOLY CRAP! HOLY CRAP! AAAMAZING! omg best book /plot/story! Ties into the other two books sooooo amazingly! don't know what to do until the next book!!!!

Title: Tilt-a-Whirl Subtitle: John Ceepak, Book 1 Author: Chris Grabenstein Narrator: Jeff Woodman Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 18 mins Language: English Release date: 06-05-07 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 3371 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: There isn't much fun in the sun when a billionaire real-estate tycoon is found murdered on the Tilt-a-Whirl at a seedy seaside amusement park in the otherwise quiet summer tourist town of Sea Haven. John Ceepak, a former MP just back from Iraq, has just joined the Sea Haven police department. The job offer came from an old Army buddy who hoped to give Ceepak at least a summer's worth of rest and relaxation to help him forget the horrors of war. Instead, Ceepak will head up the murder investigation. He is partnered with Danny Boyle, a 24-year-old part-time summer cop who doesn't carry a gun and only works with the police by day so he has enough pocket money left over to play with his beach buddies at night. In the first novel in a new series written in the spirit of Carl Hiaasen's work, the Tilt-a-Whirl murder pushes Ceepak's deep sense of honor and integrity to the limits, as unexpected twists and turns keep the truth spinning wildly in every direction. Critic Reviews: "A fast-paced thrill ride with lots of twists and turns and good writing from start to finish." (James Patterson)"From page 1, this debut stands out as refreshingly different....an absolute triumph." (Booklist) Members Reviews: the reader makes this book I'm a huge fan of crime fiction, legal thrillers, etc., and this book wasn't the most challenging story. But two things made it a great listen for me: the reader was outstanding and the author nailed the entire Jersey Shore -- from the peculiarities and vulgarities of Jerseyans language to the tacky and freewheeling world of beach life. As a native of the area, it was just like being there. This book won't enlighten you or change your life, but it is a good listen and a fine bit of mind candy to pass some hours - maybe while you lay on the beach at the Jersey Shore. A Guilty Pleasure This was a great book, but not great literature. If you are looking for a sophisticated crime drama with deep meaning this book will not please. It is however a a fast paced read with very likeable characters that catch your interest and create a desire to know what is next. It was the first book in a while that I couldn't wait see what was next and found myself making time to finish listening to. All I can say is WOW! Any additional comments? I can't tell the readers or author how important this series of books have become to me. I am nearly a senior citizen (74 years old) who recently became a widow after 35 years of being more than happily married. Now I am struggling to find out just who I really am & to try & go forth in life. Reading at least 4 of these books so far they have spoken to me on more than a literary way. John Ceepak & his side kick Danny & all those who deal with them are teaching me something I should have known & followed in Kindergarten. The stories themselves are simple & enjoyable, life like & challenging when I ask myself "Could I do that?" Could I be like J. Ceepak with his code of honor? I had to give that a lot of thought. It is so easy to skip over. Be aware readers, I am 74 yrs old so this is a serious & meaningful question for me. And by the way it is in the ten commandments. Say what? But I am not going there per se.

Bray Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 34 mins Language: English Release date: 10-03-17 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 533 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: Homicide Detective Max Rupert never fully accepted his wife's death, even when he believed that a reckless hit and run driver was the cause. But when he learns that in fact she was murdered, he devotes himself to hunting down her killers. Most of his life he had thought of himself as a decent man. But now he's so consumed with thoughts of retribution that he questions whether he will take that last step and enact the vengeance he longs for. On a frozen lake near the US-Canadian border, he wrestles with a decision that could change his life forever, as his hatred threatens to turn him into the kind of person he has spent a career bringing to justice. Critic Reviews: "Eskens infuses the old this-time-it's-personal trope with raw urgency, righteous indignation, and enough scorching action to melt every trace of the Minnesota snow in his finest hour to date." ( Kirkus, Starred Review) Members Reviews: absolutely brilliant!! I read or listen rather to roughly 100 novels a year. I have the audible stats to prove it, and lately I have just been listening to stuff almost as background noise, constantly having to hit the rewind button because I missed something. then this book came along and swept my legs from under Me! I have read all of Allen's works and they are all of a superior caliber to what's generally out there, but this one is absolutely brilliant! I'm talking award winning book of the year or decade brilliant! Why this isn't in the best sellers category yet I do not know, but I think it's only a matter of time. THIS BOOK IS BETTER EVEN THAN THE LIFE WE BURY, and I would never say that lightly. I can see a 10 episode Netflix or Amazon series coming from this. It's just amazing! Revenge! Payback is Hell! I enjoy this series by Eskens. The Deep Dark Descending is a good addition to the series starting Police detective Max Rupert. I strongly recommend reading the first 2 books prior to this one. You need to understand some of the back story to fully appreciate Max's actions in this book. Max's attitude is dark and his payback turns violent so beware if you're sensitive to dark, gritty plots. The narration by Bray is outstanding. SUSPENSEFUL AND RIVETING This book left me exhausted, but it was an intriguing read from the very first page until the last word. I have been anxiously waiting for this book , as Ive read all the prior books by this author and wanted to find out what happened to Max Ruperts wife. I highly recommend reading the previous books in the order they were written so as to fully appreciate this character and his actions in this latest novel. I had no idea how the story would end and definitely did not anticipate the conclusion. This author is brilliant in how he keeps the reader guessing as to if a character is what they seem to be or if they end up being a villain, a victim or maybe even a combination. There are no easy answers or storybook conclusions , but definitely a satisfying experience. This book will stay with me for a long time and I eagerly wait for the next novel by Allen Eskens. The narrator, R. C. Bray, did an excellent job, and changed his voice/ accent to perfectly match the characters. Excellent Eskens Novel, but brutal Allen Eskens continues to demonstrate his command of writing. This book is superb. Best of the four books he has published. Reader beware: this book is brutal.

Saving the boy will put all of Buddy's skills to the test...and risk the lives of everyone he loves. Members Reviews: Great Excellent Loved It - Just Get It Wow! What a good book this is! Once again I am astounded that this is a debut by an unknown author. In my opinion this is author has written the beginning of a potentially great series. In this book there are four brothers. They own a company that GE would like to buy for an exorbitant amount of money. All four must agree but two hold out. First one family is slaughtered with an axe minus a 10 year old boy, Ben. In the killers second attempt to kill Ben, he kills the wife of the attorney who has temporary custody of Ben. Then another brother and his family. The investigator, Buddy Lock decides to take Ben home with him to keep him safe. When Ben is left with Buddy's girlfriend they are attacked but get away. In the course of the investigation Buddy learns that the family, originally from Germany, took advantage of Jews by purchasing priceless works of art for what amounted to theft. Is a survivor coming after the brothers and their families because of who they descended from ? Or does this have something to do with GE? Meanwhile , the relationship between Buddy, his now fiancé Mei and Ben has become so close. They have unintentionally made each other their family. There are a few twists throughout and the ending will knock your socks off!! Christopher Lane does a fantastic job narrating, his delivery is spot on! And with kindle unlimited I got this book for $1.99!!!!! This book is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. If you found this review helpful please indicate so. Thank You. Sins of the grandfather? A brutal series of gruesome murders are quickly eliminating one the countrys wealthiest families. A 10 year old boy miraculously escapes the slaughter of his family and now must put his life in the hands of a NYC detective. A couple of things kept me riveted to this book. The characters of the boy, detective and the detectives girlfriend seemed extremely familiar and believable to me. Second, it takes great police work to solve a very unique mystery. Definitely worth a credit, or if you are a Prime member its really cheap! A Good Detective Mystery I enjoyed this novel... over the past several months, I've struggled to find an engaging novel. I was starting to think that I had burned myself out listening to novels, and, perhaps I needed to go back to virtually reading rather than listening. I was encountering awful narrators. A poor narrator can destroy a good story. This story is engaging with a good storyline and narrator.

Title: The Night Trade Subtitle: Livia Lone, Book 2 Author: Barry Eisler Narrator: Barry Eisler Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 8 mins Language: English Release date: 01-23-18 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 71 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: From New York Times bestselling author Barry Eisler...Livia Lone is back. For sex-crimes detective Livia Lone, a position with a government anti-trafficking task force is a chance to return to Thailand to ferret out Rithisak Sorm, the kingpin behind her own childhood ordeal. But after a planned takedown in a nightclub goes violently awry, Livia discovers that she's not the only one hunting Sorm. Former marine sniper Dox has a score to settle, too, and working together is the only way to take Sorm out. Livia and Dox couldn't be less alike. But they share a single-minded creed: the law has to serve justice. And if it doesn't, justice has to be served another way. What they don't know is that in threatening Sorm, they're also threatening a far-reaching conspiracy - one involving the highest levels of America's own intelligence apparatus. It turns out that killing Sorm just might be the easy part. The real challenge will be payback from his protectors. Members Reviews: Dox and Livia - does it get any better than this? I loved the first book in the Livia Lone series, but this second book is even better. Chapter one starts with Livia putting an agent from homeland security down on a mat while sparring. He then tries to recruit her to work on a human sex trafficking case. Chapter two brings Dox (from John Rain series). He gets hired to kill a man he's told is a trafficker. He realizes the man is not and and Dox refuses. When he's ambushed later he kills his three attackers and then the man who tried to hire him. Dox and Livia accidentally end up meeting during another ambush and help each other get out of it. They end up teaming up together, and what a great team they make - in more ways than one! Livia has her hang ups from being trafficked as a child and Dox is such a sweetheart when it comes to the ladies... This is such an exciting story, there is a dangerous situation around every corner. I started it and refused to talk to anyone until it was finished!! Barry Eisler narrates his own books flawlessly. I really enjoy the sound of his voice. This book is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. If you found this review helpful please indicate so. Thank You. WOW!! In The Night Trade, Book 2 in the Livia Lone series, two of Barry Eisler's most compelling characters meet and join in a battle against sex traffickers in Thailand. For policewoman Livia Lone killing Rithisak Sorm and his employees is deeply personal because he is the man who sent her sister and her to the US in a shipping container sixteen years ago. For former US Marine sniper Dox it is less personal, but Soam's second in command killed a friend of his. Dox, a colorful and loud Texan with a heart of gold, appears in several of Eisler's John Rain novels as a friend of Rain who occasionally works with him. Four years ago Eisler released a ninety minute short story about Dox titled The Khmer Kill. Ironically Soam's name appears tangentially in The Khmner Kill. (I just realized that I have not reviewed that short story, so I'll do so in a few minutes.) I've listened to all of Barry Eisler's novels and short stories and am a big fan of his writing. In my opinion The Night Trade is the best Eisler novel (he has not written any that deserve less than 5 stars).

Title: Blood on the Tracks Subtitle: Sydney Rose Parnell Series, Book 1 Author: Barbara Nickless Narrator: Emily Sutton-Smith Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 4 mins Language: English Release date: 10-01-16 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 1680 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: A young woman is found brutally murdered, and the main suspect is the victim's fiancé, a hideously scarred Iraq War vet known as the Burned Man. But railroad police Special Agent Sydney Rose Parnell, brought in by the Denver Major Crimes unit to help investigate, can't shake the feeling that larger forces are behind this apparent crime of passion. In the depths of an icy winter, Parnell and her K9 partner, Clyde - both haunted by their time in Iraq - descend into the underground world of a savage gang of rail riders. There, they uncover a wide-reaching conspiracy and a series of shocking crimes. Crimes that threaten everything Parnell holds dear. As the search for the truth puts her directly in the path of the killer, Parnell must struggle with a deadly question: Can she fight monsters without becoming one herself? Members Reviews: Great debut, looking forward to more from this author I am very impressed with this debut novel by Barbara Nickless. I thought she did a superb job with this book and I thoroughly enjoyed her writing style. This is another one of those who done it books that really keeps the reader/listener guessing right up to the very end. A woman is brutally murdered, she's kind and helpful to the down and outers and the hobos who pass through hitching rides on the railroad. Some say she's like an angel others say she's a busybody getting involved with the wrong people. And then there's her fiancé a badly burned Iraq veteran who is arrested for the crime. I could go on and describe the railroad police and the detective from the major crimes unit but you can read all that on the synopsis provided. What you won't see there is that while the main story is playing out there are multiple subplots going on concurrently. Each of these subplots ties into the main story and each provides another suspect but don't get too attached to anyone in particular because the ending will throw you for a loop. Emily Sutton-Smith gives an Excellent performance. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. If you found this review helpful please indicate so. Thank You. Great start for a first time author Blood on the Tracks was my Kindle First selection last month so I had the opportunity to read the ebook before the October 1 release date. I was so impressed that I decided to listen to the audiobook also. This is an incredibly strong debut novel by Barbara Nicklass. The Sydney Rose Parnell series promises to be a favorite. Parnell is a 27 year old ex-Marine currently working as a special agent for the railway police in Denver. She and her K9 partner Clyde are both veterans of war in Iraq and both suffer from PTSD. This police thriller is superb. Emily Sutton-Smiths narration is excellent. Probably a good read; not a great listen There are a lot of things to like about this book. The writing is quite good and the protagonist is unique, flawed, and interesting. The author clearly has firsthand knowledge of the Marine Corps and railway police or she did a lot of very effective research. On the other hand it does tend to drag on at some points, adding length without necessarily adding any depth to the story or the characters. Unfortunately, the narrator detracts from the story so I cannot honestly say how good the book is. This is especially true in regards to the dialog, which felt very mechanical.

Title: I Let You Go Author: Clare Mackintosh Narrator: Steven Crossley, Nicola Barber Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 13 mins Language: English Release date: 05-03-16 Publisher: Penguin Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 3472 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: The next blockbuster thriller for those who loved The Girl on the Train and Gone Girl.... A novel with "an astonishing intensity that drags you in and never - ever - lets you go" (Daily Mail, UK). On a rainy afternoon, a mother's life is shattered as her son slips from her grip and runs into the street.... I Let You Go follows Jenna Gray as she moves to a ramshackle cottage on the remote Welsh coast, trying to escape the memory of the car accident that plays again and again in her mind and desperate to heal from the loss of her child and the rest of her painful past. At the same time, the novel tracks the pair of Bristol police investigators trying to get to the bottom of this hit-and-run. As they chase down one hopeless lead after another, they find themselves as drawn to each other as they are to the frustrating, twist-filled case before them. Elizabeth Haynes, author of Into the Darkest Corner, says, "I read I Let You Go in two sittings; it made me cry (at least twice), made me gasp out loud (once), and above all made me wish I'd written it...a stellar achievement." Members Reviews: Compelling thriller The story was cleverly unfurled, and I finished listening in a week, but I found the repetitive descriptions of domestic violence gratuitous and unnecessary for the story - one or two would have been sufficient to get the point across! I enjoyed the Gone Girl-style of narrative with plenty of twists, and overall was engrossed in the story. finally a good book I loved this book suspense right to the end. I thought I had it figured out but there are lots of twists. So Good!!! This book is definitely in my top 25 favorites of all time. Lots of twists and turns and the narrator was fantastic. The story moves along slowly and it had a Girl on the Train kind of feel to it. I was glued to this book and hope to find more by this author. Great listen! This was one of the better storylines I've heard in awhile. Interesting plot. I was entertained from beginning to end. great story! i loved, loved, loved this book. what a great story. i ended up sitting in my car listening in the parking lot because i HAD to finish the chapter!!!

Robb Narrator: Susan Ericksen Format: Unabridged Length: 13 hrs and 37 mins Language: English Release date: 02-02-16 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 4135 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: The next novel featuring Lieutenant Eve Dallas from #1 New York Times bestselling author J.D. Robb! Sometimes "brotherhood" is just another word for conspiracy... Dennis Mira just had two unpleasant surprises. First he learned that his cousin Edward was secretly meeting with a real estate agent about their late grandfather's magnificent West Village brownstone, despite the promise they both made to keep it in the family. Then, when he went to the house to confront Edward about it, he got a blunt object to the back of the head. Luckily Dennis is married to Charlotte Mira, the NYPSD's top profiler and a good friend of Lieutenant Eve Dallas. When the two arrive on the scene, he explains that the last thing he saw was Edward in a chair, bruised and bloody. When he came to, his cousin was gone. With the mess cleaned up and the security disks removed, there's nothing left behind but a few traces for forensics to analyze. As a former lawyer, judge, and senator, Edward Mira mingled with the elite and crossed paths with criminals, making enemies on a regular basis. Like so many politicians, he also made some very close friends behind closed - and locked - doors. But a badge and a billionaire husband can get you into places others can't go, and Eve intends to shine some light on the dirty deals and dark motives behind the disappearance of a powerful man, the family discord over a multimillion-dollar piece of real estate...and a new case that no one saw coming. Members Reviews: Another excellent turnout by JD Robb. Loved it. This is a new story that should please all of those folks who feel they are starting to all sound alike. I love Eves' interactions with Mr. Mira (who I think all her fans have a secret crush on... go ahead, admit it lol). Sure the story takes us back to her past but Eves past made her who she is plus we have to remember that everyone who reads this book hasn't read the whole series and it provides important background into her character. I am very happy with this book and can't wait for the next one as usual. Keep up the good work Ms Roberts. Best in series I love this book. I think it's by far the best of the entire series. I've listened to it four times already. Eve's interaction to Dennis Mira is so very sweet. Eve has grown so much from the first book. Excellent but tough subject Excellent character development in this latest In Death with intriguing new characters joining Eve's work family. The crimes, however, are exceptionally horrific. Rape figures prominently in the storyline and graphic descriptions of the crimes were difficult to listen to. Gripping This is book 42 in the Eve Dallas series. I am amazed that Robb can keep coming up with such interesting ideas for her books. Dr. Charlotte Mira is my favorite person in the series, so when I discovered this story is mainly about professor Dennis Mira, Charlottes husband, I could hardly wait for the book to be released. Professor Mira has been like a surrogate father to Eve Dallas. Dennis finds out his cousin former Judge, Senator Edward Mira, has contacted a real estate agent to sell their grandfathers magnificent West Village brownstone despite the promise to keep it in the family. Dennis goes to the house to speak to Edward, he finds Edward beaten and Dennis is attacked and beaten.

Robb Narrator: Susan Ericksen Format: Unabridged Length: 13 hrs and 6 mins Language: English Release date: 09-06-16 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 4199 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: Lieutenant Eve Dallas returns in a fast-paced new novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author J. D. Robb. Nature versus nurture... The shots came quickly, silently, and with deadly accuracy. Within seconds, three people were dead at Central Park's ice skating rink. The victims: a talented young skater, a doctor, and a teacher. As random as random can be. Eve Dallas has seen a lot of killers during her time with the NYPSD, but never one like this. After reviewing security videos, it becomes clear that the victims were killed by a sniper firing a tactical laser rifle, who could have been miles away when the trigger was pulled. And though the locations where the shooter could have set up seem endless, the list of people with that particular skill set is finite: police, military, professional killer. Eve's husband, Roarke, has unlimited resources - and genius - at his disposal. And when his computer program leads Eve to the location of the sniper, she learns a shocking fact: There were two - one older, one younger. Someone is being trained by an expert in the science of killing, and they have an agenda. Central Park was just a warm-up. And as another sniper attack shakes the city to its core, Eve realizes that though we're all shaped by the people around us, there are those who are just born evil.... Members Reviews: Gripping I am amazed, this is book 43 in the Death series and J. D. Robb keeps coming up with new ideas. Most series go stale at about book 25 but not Robbs. In this story we have a sniper on the loose. All of Dallass staff is on the case along with a new person, Lowenbaum, a weapons expert. He is head of the SWAT squad and is acting as a weapons consultant for Dallas. We might have a new member of the squad, a female uniformed officer named Shelby. To lighten the story, we have Bellas birthday party; the usual banter with Summerset and Rourke is redecorating the house. The book is well written and fast paced. The plot winds around and snaps at the reader. The suspense builds during the book and one just cannot put the book down. Robb has a way of writing that grabs the readers attention and holds it until the last word. Robb mixes humor with murder to prevent the reader from becoming overwhelmed by the violence. I think it is best to read this series in order so one can get to know all the characters that weave in and out of the various books. I cannot wait for the next book in the series. Susan Erickson does an excellent job narrating the series. I am so glad the publisher kept Erickson as the narrator for the entire series. Erickson is a classically trained actress and an award winning audiobook narrator. Her best book ever!!!,,, I listened from start to finish !!!! Loved this book my new favorite until the next one comes out! Another fantastic case Join Eve Dallas and her team as they race against time to stop two killers. A father and daughter team. This book is fantastic. Full of action. As always, Susan Erickson brings each character to life with her unique way of making a voice for each character. I love reading books but when it comes to these i prefer the audio with books. with Nora Roberts writing talent and Susan's narration these books are so real. You feel like you are part the stories. This book is no exception.

Is he a hero? Eight years ago, Sharlah May Nash's older brother beat their drunken father to death with a baseball bat in order to save both of their lives. Now thirteen years old, Sharlah has finally moved on. About to be adopted by retired FBI profiler Pierce Quincy, and his partner, Rainie Conner, Sharlah loves one thing best about her new family: they are all experts on monsters. Is he a killer? Then the call comes in. A double-murder at a local gas station, followed by reports of an armed suspect shooting his way through the wilds of Oregon. As Quincy and Rainie race to assist, they are forced to confront mounting evidence: the shooter may very well be Sharlah's older brother, Telly Ray Nash, and it appears his killing spree has only just begun. All she knows for sure: he's back. As the clock winds down on a massive hunt for Telly, Quincy and Rainie must answer two critical questions: Why after eight years has this young man started killing again? And what does this mean for Sharlah? Once upon a time, Sharlah's big brother saved her life. Now, she has two questions of her own: is her brother a hero, or a killer? And how much will it cost her new family before they learn the final, shattering truth? Because as Sharlah knows all too well, the biggest danger is the one standing right behind you. Members Reviews: Absolutely Fantastic! I own 400-500 audiobooks and this is right up there with the best. I actually called out sick to work one afternoon so I could finish it. I loved everything about this book. The narration was spot on, the story - fantastic!!!! I plan on getting many more Lisa Gardner books!! I only bought this because it showed up as a recommended title! After listening to Coban and Baldacci for months, I decided to give it a try. I nave have a new favorite author! Excellent storey And performances. I loved this story. I have some personal experience with a few of subjects brought in throughout the book, So I was very interested in how things turned out, for the children especially. I am usually able to figure out these type of stories without trying, but this one kept me guessing. The story itself is very interesting, is the boy good or evil, how about the other boy, or even the girl? The new plot, which I won't ruin for anyone (I hate when people give spoilers away in a comment), was interesting. I wish there was a little more info on the characters that was about, but I know the book can only be so long. Also I would love to see a book about The Sharla and Telley. First time Gardner reader This is my first time reading/listening to a book by Gardner. I was unaware until the authors acknowledgments at the end that Quincy and Rainy had been existing characters. I knew deep down they had more of a story and wondered why she didn't delve into their story backgrounds further. Now I know why and plan to go backwards to hear their story, as I really enjoyed the way this book was written and told. Gardner did a superb job at making me empathetic toward children being thrust into situations beyond their control and whom are basically just along for the ride.

When Lieutenant Eve Dallas examines a body in a downtown Manhattan alleyway, the victim's injuries are so extensive that she almost misses the clue. Carved into the skin is the shape of a heart - and initials inside reading E and D. Ella-Loo and her boyfriend, Darryl, had been separated while Darryl was a guest of the state of Oklahoma, and now that his sentence has been served they don't ever intend to part again. Ella-Loo's got dreams. And Darryl believes there are better ways to achieve your dreams than working for them. So they hit the road, and when their car breaks down in Arkansas, they make plans to take someone else's. Then things get messy and they wind up killing someone - an experience that stokes a fierce, wild desire in Ella-Loo. A desire for Darryl. And a desire to kill again. As they cross state lines on their way to New York to find the life they think they deserve, they will leave a trail of evil behind them. But now they've landed in the jurisdiction of Lieutenant Dallas and her team at the New York Police and Security Department. And with her husband, Roarke, at her side, she has every intention of hunting them down and giving them what they truly deserve. Members Reviews: Eve & Roarke face the worst yet Devoted in Death was one of the more graphically violent ones to date. And you know it's bad when it shakes Dallas & Roarke. I fast forward through the descriptive torture scenes. Mavis was "off stage" and was missed along with Bella. A visiting deputy was a great addition and I hope he stays. Still I'm glad I listened to it, because it showed new sides to the homicide department. It was actually fun to see Baxter a basket case over Trueheart's detective exam. Time for a change This theme seems to be worn out and the book was very much like the others ....just different names. I've enjoyed all the books until now. I hope Nora can come up with something more original with the next one. I also think it's about time Eve began getting past her youth since she has so much going for her now. Dueling Devotions I loved the contrasting expressions of "Devotion in Death," comparing the relationships of Eve and Roarke with Darryl and Ella-Loo. It's nice to see, over the span of several books, Eve becoming more comfortable with expressing the love she shares with Roarke. There were a lot of nice little moments - with Baxter, with Feeney, with Truehart. Loved the visiting deputy from Arkansas. Kudos to J D Robb and Susan Ericksen for another great book in the series. If you're new to the series, you'll be able to enjoy this book. There's a lot of back story that would make some parts clearer, but I think it stands alone much more than some of the others. Went too far I have read and then listened to all the books in the series, and I love Nora/JD but this storyline took it a bit too far. This is the first time I had to fast forward because I couldn't stomach the details. Also, Susan's (narrator) Roarke was a bit off for the first time. The voice was slightly different. Excellent but not enough Roarke.

Title: The Secret Place Subtitle: Dublin Murder Squad, Book 5 Author: Tana French Narrator: Lara Hutchinson, Stephen Hogan Format: Unabridged Length: 20 hrs and 34 mins Language: English Release date: 09-02-14 Publisher: Penguin Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 3229 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: The sensational new novel from "one of the most talented crime writers alive". (The Washington Post) The photo on the card shows a boy who was found murdered, a year ago, in the grounds of a girls' boarding school in the leafy suburbs of Dublin. The caption says I know who killed him. Detective Stephen Moran has been waiting for his chance to get a foot in the door of Dublin's Murder Squad - and one morning, 16-year-old Holly Mackey brings him this photo. "The Secret Place", a board where the girls at St Kilda's School can pin up their secrets anonymously, is normally a mishmash of gossip and covert cruelty, but today someone has used it to reignite the stalled investigation into the murder of handsome, popular Chris Harper. Stephen joins forces with the abrasive Detective Antoinette Conway to find out who and why. Editorial Reviews: Editors Select, September 2014 - With vacation planned at the end of the month, I excitedly tucked away my copy of The Secret Place knowing that it would be the perfect beach book. And halfway through, with the sounds of waves crashing in the background, I've been transported to St. Kilda's School in the posh suburbs of Dublin. Tana French's latest Dublin Murder Squad mystery explores the minds of killers and perhaps equally as frightening teenaged girls. Like her previous books, it's a psychological whodunit set in a distinct time and place. And the local Irish flair makes it perfect for audio. Tricia, Audible Editor Members Reviews: Well...I really liked 50% of it What in the world caused Ms French to think that anyone would enjoy having every other chapter in a 20 hour book comprised of the simpering, sniping of a group of adolescent Irish Valley Girl wannabes? Even the hard-to-understand breathy, little-girl voice of Lara Hutchinson couldnt damage the grating dialogue further. Dont get me wrong. The structure of this book is a beautiful thing. Having all the players trapped in a confined area while the detective weeds through the witnesses and suspects in an unsolved murder case, playing them against each other even as the detective is being played, is a tried and true device and was worth the effort. Fifty percent of the chapters show off Ms Frenchs well known talent for interpersonal interaction and dialogue, as prickly and unpopular (i.e., wont play along with the sexual hazing game) female Detective Antoinette Conway with chip on her shoulder, and murder squad aspirant, Detective Stephen Moran are thrown together for one intense day of frustrating interrogation at an exclusive private girls school. For all I know, aping Valley Girl behavior is what Irish school girls are into right now. But in my opinion, it was an unfortunate distraction from what should have been and could have been (if severely edited) an important part of this storythe interaction between the students. Im sure it will ruin the book for many. Also bogging down the story were a few irrelevant sidetracks. The mystical touches, (the lights, the spinning bottle caps) which seemed to me most likely meant to reflect psychedelic drug experiences, were neither integrated well, nor explained at all, so who really knows what they were about and should have been left out altogether. I didnt have any trouble finishing the book, but by the end I was ready to pull out my hair.

A most unexpected new detective inspector takes up his post this Monday morning, and the oldest detective in the place takes a momentous decision. Around them, other officers are considering their own situations, and even the building itself seems to be facing an uncertain future. But life and death go on, nevertheless, and by lunchtime someone will make a grim discovery on the Norfolk saltmarshes. A stranger seems to have suffered a slow and agonizing death out there. As the team from Kings Lake uncover his story, they reveal another, much older one with its origins far back in the previous century. In the tide that governs the affairs of men, it seems, love and loss, betrayal and revenge are timeless themes. Fans of Colin Dexter, P. D. James, and Ruth Rendell have all found much to enjoy in DC Smith's previous investigations. Members Reviews: Wonderful British modern detective series! Time and Tide is Book 7 in the DC Smith series. Like the prior 6 novels in the series it earns 5 stars. DC Smith is a police detective with 30 years experience who got tired of being in management as Detective Inspector and asked to be demoted to Detective Sargent in order to work cases. Those who report to him love working for him, but he is nothing but trouble for most of those in management who consider his high rate of solving cases to be luck rather than skill. Also, he tends to disobey direct orders and generally shows a lack of respect for authority. But he solves 100% of his cases. At the beginning of this book he finally takes retirement (2 years late) giving 3 months notice. Will this be the final novel in the series? Gildart Jackson's outstanding narration of this series deserves special recognition. His voice and pace are pitch perfect.

A reader/listener will either like the cast of detectives; a strange group, except Steve Carella, or they will not. Like any detective SERIES, and McBain has a long list of books in his 87th Precinct series, the books get better the more one reads them. But back to the cadence of the story; it is slow and repetitive much like, I would imagine, the real like task of tracking down a killer. Who was your favorite character and why? Steve Carella is what all cops should be: a good man, a wonderful husband and father, and one who always gets his killer. Which scene was your favorite? A good reader. Any additional comments? I would suggest to anyone who does not know this series to start from the first. Knowing the detectives makes this group of mysteries different than others. But be careful; if you enjoy them, if you begin to care about them, you are in for HOURS AND HOURS of story time.

Title: Disturbed Author: Jennifer Jaynes Narrator: Carly Robins Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 13 mins Language: English Release date: 11-07-17 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 87 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: A captivating psychological thriller from #1 USA Today bestselling author Jennifer Jaynes. On Halloween night five years ago, Chelsea Dutton's college roommates were viciously stabbed to death, and Chelsea was critically injured. She was found hiding in her apartment's bathtub, barely clinging to life. With only fragments of shattered memory, she's been trying her best to move past the nightmares ever since. Now in Boston, she lives a somewhat reclusive life, working from home as a medical transcriptionist and bingeing on mindless television shows. She can't shake the fear that her attacker is out there, waiting to finish what he started, and Elizabeth, a nurse she met after the murders, is the only person she can trust. When someone from her past reemerges, Chelsea starts receiving disturbing messages and worries that her every move is being watched. As the messages mount and her memories begin to return, she's led to a very terrifying and lonely place. But she needn't be afraid. She won't be alone there for long. Members Reviews: Foster families BEWARE! First, I think this book could be made better, honestly it reminds me of a lifetime movie. So if that's your taste this book would be perfect. It did keep my interest but was somewhat predictable. I did listen to the whole book just to make sure and I was right. The book is twisted with (Chelsea) one of three roommates surviving a night of terror almost five years earlier. She's become almost a recluse and now she's finally venturing out, started dating an old friend who just happens to be married now. And with her new desire to get out of apartment and start living she is now getting threatening letters. There are a few suspects and I am curious to know if other listeners found this book as predictable as I did. I would recommend this book for a light read in between heavy more involved books. If you found this review helpful please indicate so. Thank You. An interesting twist... Once again, Jennifer Jayne's delivers with a provoking, suspenseful story. I thought I had it figured out early on...... but I was wrong! Disappointed I had a hard time staying interested in the story line which has not happened before when reading or listening to Jennifer Jaynes books. I lost interest after reading 2/3 of book and did not finish. Maybe neither next one will be great. surprised ending! This book has strange twist at the end! author capture the fear and emotions of the main character . I hope there's a book 2! Awful I really wanted to like this book. T he description was that of a psychological thriller....so why would they cast a narrator thAt sounds like a 15 year old high school girl? It was totally distracting...and her male voices were comical. I tried to skip ahead but that didn't help. I would recommend you listen to the sample before purchasing. Perhaps it would be better to read this book....but I'm going to skip it.

Title: Red Dragon Author: Thomas Harris Narrator: Alan Sklar Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 6 mins Language: English Release date: 03-09-12 Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 1627 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: A quiet summer night...a neat suburban house...and another innocent, happy family is shattered - the latest victims of a grisly series of hideous sacrificial killings that no one understands, and no one can stop. Nobody lives to tell of the unimaginable carnage. Only the blood-stained walls bear witness. All hope rests on Special Agent Will Graham, who must peer inside the killer's tortured soul to understand his rage, to anticipate and prevent his next vicious crime. Desperate for help, Graham finds himself locked in a deadly alliance with the brilliant Dr. Hannibal Lecter, the infamous mass murderer who Graham put in prison years ago. As the imprisoned Lecter tightens the reins of revenge, Graham's feverish pursuit of the Red Dragon draws him inside the warped mind of a psychopath, into an unforgettable world of demonic ritual and violence, beyond the limits of human terror. Members Reviews: Needed a better narrator Would you try another book from Thomas Harris and/or Alan Sklar? I bought this book because I loved Silence of the Lambs. Red Dragon was good, but the narrator was terrible. How did the narrator detract from the book? Narrator often lapsed into whiny tone, which made it really hard to like the characters or care about them. He also at times sounded very flippant, which again detracted from the story. Was Red Dragon worth the listening time? Red Dragon is mostly worth the listening time. It's a good story, but unless you love the narrator (and I did not) sometimes it's hard to stay with it. The Best Police Procedural of Our Time Stephen King claimed Red Dragon the best American novel since The Godfather. It was that quote that persuaded be to purchase the paperpack some 30 odd years ago. It was the first book I ever read that highlighted the brilliance of the FBI, rather than making them out to be egotistical boobs. Of course it introduces Hannible to the world, adding dark humor into a very serious manhunt. But like Silence of the Lambs, the killer is not some evil genius, but rather a severely abused, mentally ill man convinced he is beoming something that will overcome the world. There is a overwhelmingly human aspect to the monstrous violonce he reigns on his victims. The element of terror this book induces is like no other book I have ever read, except perhaps, Silence of the Lambs. Yet through it all we are introduced to the real FBI, efficient, brave, persistent and genius. The narrator has a professional voice, but I found it to be soulless. If you've never read either Red Dragon or Silence of the Lambs, you're in for a real treat. Unfortunately, I feel Harris completely lost his way after those two novels. SERIAL Killer ~ how does he choose his victims? PLOT: 2 Families are killed and slaughter by the same serial killer~ how DOES he find his victims?~ Will Graham is the "FBI agent" who helped capture Hannibal the cannibal~ is retired in Florida. He is drawn back into service when the "Tooth Fairy" a serial killer who bites his victims ..having killed 2 families ~ HOW DID HE CHOOSE HIS VICTIMS? The Red Dragon aka the Tooth Fairy carefully chooses his victims by a clever means and stalks on the full moon. Now Will Graham is busy discovering clues to help "prevent" the death of a third family. ADDED fun is a cheap sheet reporter for the National Tattler used by both the Tooth Fairy and Will Graham.

Title: Kill for You Author: Lisa Regan Narrator: Laura Jennings Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 5 mins Language: English Release date: 10-20-17 Publisher: Cherry Hill Publishing, LLC Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 66 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: FBI analyst Kassidy Bishop is assigned to the "'For You' Killer" task force after a series of sadistic murders bearing the same signature arise in different parts of the country. The homicides are both calculated and savage, occurring in different states, but bearing the same signature: the words "for you" scribbled at each crime scene. The case chills Kassidy, bringing back memories of her own encounter with a violent criminal five years earlier. Kassidy's mentor, legendary agent Talia "The Confessor" Crossen knows the task force assignment is Kassidy's chance to prove to her colleagues that she belongs in the Behavior Analysis Unit. For five years, other FBI agents and profilers scoffed at Kassidy's appointment to the BAU, believing she was only offered the position in exchange for her silence about the brutal assault that almost killed her. The stakes rise when the task force links the killer's signature to Kassidy. As more and more bodies turn up, Kassidy must delve into her past and the mysterious death of her twin sister, which holds the key to uncovering the killer's identity. The closer Kassidy comes to finding the killer, the closer she comes to a deadly confrontation that could cost her everything - including her own life. Members Reviews: Really Liked Book And Narratoe I enjoyed this book. It was different. It had twists and turns and held my attention. I thought the narrator was excellent. Her tone was on the soft spoken side and expressed each character differently. It was really nice. I hope to hear a lot more from her. Kept me wondering Loved the narration. The story was great. Well worth a credit. Hope this character is developed into a series. Who talks like that? The narrator seems to be suffering from voice box surgery. I cant even finish the book on audio because her whispering raspy voice is like nails on a chalkboard. No one talks like that unless they have been smoking since birth. Whispering? The story was great, had a hard time with reader, wont be buying any more books that she reads. Its like she is whispering through the whole story. very annoying.

New York Dead Audiobook by Stuart Woods

Title: New York Dead Subtitle: Stone Barrington, Book 1 Author: Stuart Woods Narrator: Richard Ferrone Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 56 mins Language: English Release date: 02-16-12 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 875 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: Everyone is always telling Stone Barrington that hes too smart to be a cop, but its pure luck that places him on the streets in the dead of night, just in time to witness the horrifying incident that turns his life inside out. Suddenly he is on the front page of every New York newspaper and his life is hopelessly entwined in the increasingly shocking life (and perhaps death) of Sasha Nijinsky, the countrys hottest and most beautiful television anchorwoman. No matter where he turns, the case is waiting for him, haunting his nights and turning his days into a living hell. Stone finds himself caught in a perilous web of unspeakable crimes, dangerous friends, and sexual depravity that has throughout it one common thread: Sasha. Critic Reviews: "Hollywood slick and fast-moving." ( Los Angeles Daily News) Members Reviews: There were a few good twists But many of the subplots seemed contrived and unrealistic, Overall it was a good book but not a great one. Now that the main character has been developed, I look forward to reading the next one. A good start for the series This is the first book of the Stone Barrington series, and I really enjoyed it. A woman falls to her death? in front of Stone as he was walking down the street. She disappears, as he runs 12 stories up to her apt. to see if it's murder or suicide. Someone runs away, and the mystery and suspense begins. The book is full of twists and turns, full of clues that never fully give away just what happened to the falling lady, meanwhile Stone searches for answers, making some poor personal choices and gets himself in all kinds of trouble leading up to a nail biting ending. The story kept me thoroughly interested, with good narration, so I listened and listened, and am now looking forward to the next of the series. A Good Read Fast, easy read. Nothing complicated. After the victim turns out to be a society climber with aspirations on news anchor, I was afraid that it would be one of those conspiracies built around hoidy-toidy New York society and that Sherlock Holmes would appear with a briar and a funny hat. But it turned out to be a reasonable cop drama. Not everyone is portrayed in a good light but that adds to the drama in it. It was light and fun; think I'll try another. NOT PREDICTABLE What made the experience of listening to New York Dead the most enjoyable? RICHARD FERRONE IS AN EXCELLENT READER AND HAS A GREAT WAY WITH HIS CHARACTERS. Which scene was your favorite? THE PART WHEN HE IS BEING FIRED. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? NO Ridiculous If you like a book that is 25% sappy sex scenes and 25% profane and vulgar language and 50% actually story plot, this is the book for you!

Robb Narrator: Susan Ericksen Format: Unabridged Length: 13 hrs and 13 mins Language: English Release date: 05-20-08 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 1708 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: It doesn't surprise Lieutenant Eve Dallas that Thomas Anders' scandalous death is a source of titillation and speculation for the public - and humiliation for his family. While everyone else in the city is talking about it, those close to Anders aren't so anxious to do so. Fortunately, because Dallas' billionaire husband, Roarke, happens to own the prime real estate where Anders's sporting-goods firm was headquartered, she has some help with access. Before long, she's knocking on doors - or barging through them - to look for the answers she needs. But the facts don't add up. Physical evidence suggests that the victim didn't struggle. The security breach in the highly fortified apartment indicates that the killer was someone close to Anders, but everyone's alibi checks out, from the wife who was off in the tropics to the loving nephew who stands to inherit millions. Was this a crime of passion - or a carefully planned execution? It's up to Dallas to solve a sensational case where all involved guard secrets from one another - and strangers may be connected in unexpected and deadly ways. Critic Reviews: "Concisely narrated with verve and humor by Susan Ericksen." (AudioFile) Members Reviews: Interesting Story I dont agree that this was boring. I would say it was too long breaking down the why and how, since Eve already knew the who. I loved getting an update on Charles and Louise and the jokes and banter between the characters alwasy make me laugh out loud as if they are really chating and I am involved. To me these stories are real and easy to get your self wrapped up in. The story was interesing and murderer is easy to dislike from the beggining (very annyoying and mean). Happy reading. On to Book 27... Excellent series I picked this series up at about book 5 and it didn't take long to get me hooked. I have read many police procedural book series and this series ranks up there with the best of them. Sometimes it's kind of hard to understand some of the futuristic technology, but what sci-fi/futuristic type novel isn't nowadays? It is full of Nora Roberts' trademark steamy romance scenes and humor, but that only adds to the drama and intrigue of this series. Eve Dallas and her partner Roarke make an excellent pair in solving the many mysterious and action-packed cases they encounter. There is also lots of memorable characters as well. I never miss a book. There is not a bad book in this series. I say sit back, relax, and enjoy one of the best narrators in the business take you through a police adventure that will have you wanting more once it ends. And there are a lot of books to enjoy in this series. Read them all. You will not be able to get enough!!! Great Series Its often been said in many reviews that to start at the begiing and just keep going is the way to go. ABSOLUTLY. The background characters and their stories are as much a part of this series as the actual gruesome deaths and although each book can each be listened to individually to get the most out of it I feel you need the whole lot. Excellant narration, geat job Susan even though you did have a hiccup with Peabody at one stage.

Robb Narrator: Susan Ericksen Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 18 mins Language: English Release date: 05-20-08 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 1911 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: As more bodies turn up, each with the same defining scars, Eve is frantic for answers. Against her instincts, she accepts help from a psychic who offers one vision after another - each with shockingly accurate details of the murders. And when partner and friend Peabody is badly injured after escaping an attack, the stakes are raised. Are the eyes a symbol? A twisted religious ritual? A souvenir? With help from her husband, Roarke, Dallas must uncover the killer's motivation before another vision becomes another nightmare. Critic Reviews: "The book is a sassy, smart-alecky read, possessing the warm characterizations and witty dialogue that have earned Robb/Roberts her huge and loyal readership." (Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: Interesting Ending In this JD Robb mystery, Dallas and Peabody meet up with a psychic and a bodybuilder, which oddly enough makes for a pretty good mystery. Pay attention as you listen because Robb uses foreshadowing extremely well in this book. It's the best she's ever used that technique. The ending might be a surprise to readers. And, as always, Robb advances the personal lives of her characters just a little bit more. Although reading the series in order makes it a bit more enjoyable, Robb continues to do a nice job of filling in a new reader without using a lot of filler. It doesn't distract a tried and true reader, yet lets a new reader in on the past. Susan Erickson has also seemed to return 100% to the original voices of the characters, which is a welcome relief to the seasoned Robb listener. If you have followed the series 1 of the best I haven't really commented on J.D. Rob (Nora Roberts) "In Death" series this one is book 19. At this point you have gotten to know and get attached to many of the characters. Serial Killers are at best a horror that can turn anyone's stomach. In this story there are twists and an ending that will surprise, I really didn't see it coming. Maybe I was too caught up in the story. But I enjoyed this book in the series very much. If you have enjoyed this series I recommend this one highly I do the job! That in itself is enough for her fans. Additionally this audio production with its well balanced and effective use of minor audio effects and talented narration pulls listeners in brings you center stage. The characters take form and come to life in your mind as they interact. Sure Dallas is the lead but each member of her cast will remind you of someone. Warning: This story is not for the faint of heart. Women will get this one. But all listeners will walk away cheering fist held high proclaiming this Lt. as their cop. Best Peabody and Dallas Best story yet and the relationship between Dallas and Peabody is made strong and real. I cried for them both during Peabody's ordeal. I recommend this audiobook to all. love it I love the 'in death' series! (Just wish I could somehow read them in order!) Funny and well written and most important of all, in my opinion, the naration is terrific. Well done Susan Erickson!

Imitation in Death Audiobook by J. D. Robb

Robb Narrator: Susan Ericksen Format: Unabridged Length: 14 hrs and 13 mins Language: English Release date: 05-20-08 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 2251 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: Now Dallas is in pursuit of a murderer who knows as much about the history of serial killers as she does. He has studied the most notorious and the most vicious slayings in modern times. But he also wants to make his own mark. And he has chosen his victim: Eve Dallas. And all Eve knows is that he plans to mimic the most infamous murderers of all - starting with Jack the Ripper. Critic Reviews: "Edgy and raw." (Booklist) "Robb's energetic prose and hard-edged dialogue will keep readers engrossed." (Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: The Saga Continues Eve Dallas continues her career as a top notch cop who, this time, is after a serial killer imitating the most famous serial killers of all time. As always, JD Robb weaves an interesting mystery while continuing to develop the returning characters. We learn a bit more about Eve's past. Peabody takes the next step in her career - and personal life. And last, but not least, Susan Erickson seems back on her game by reverting back to the original voices that made the characters so beloved in the audio series. Great even the 2nd time around I am slowly buying the series with audible. There is soo many volumes in the series and I tend to forget the details, so it is a lot of fun to reread and enjoy them all over again. I forgot how much Peabody was nervous about taking her detective test, the many and interesting red herrings(all of them looking suspicious)and the side story of Roake and Eve's mother. Also, i love the home cookout scene where Eve meets Mira's daughter for the first time and has a heart to heart. It was really touching. On to the nextone Poor Imitation not Flattery? OK, I loved the book. The title of my review has more to do with a comment an the murderer's performance at some stages than on the book itself. The last book advanced Roarke's history and this book advances Eve's. Possibly because murder and death are just part of life, but I somehow sense that the ongoing revelations and development of the character's lives are a parallel of aspects of the main plot. I find that this is subtly and interestingly done. I listen to the stories several times and notice little gems and aspects that I was not aware of before. I find that feminism is not overdone in the books and Robb (Roberts) provides a fairly balanced view of the sexes. Although I am a man, I am happy that Dallas offers a fairly good, albeit imperfect, role model for woman as competent and tough, but not beyond using her feminine wiles. I have noticed that the psychological hypotheses of the characters show a more pop psychology touch, whereas Myra's analyses are more professional, a disparate perspective of expertise that offers an interesting touch that gives the characters greater depth. I have tried to read the series from beginning to end, with some tangential journeys. I enjoy the series very much. Just keeps getting better! 5 Stars! J.D. Robb does it again. Seventeen books in and this series is still going strong!! It never gets old for me and it just keeps getting better. Roarke and Eve are so comfortable in their relationship, it makes me smile. I love the way they tease each other, Eve comes off as so aloof and annoyed, all the while loving it when Roarke irks her into submission. The passion and desire they have for each other gives me the warm fuzzies.

Robb Narrator: Susan Ericksen Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 44 mins Language: English Release date: 05-20-08 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 1868 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: But Lieutenant Eve Dallas, who's on the case, believes Reva is innocent. Eve's instincts tell her that the murder scene looks too perfectly staged, the apparent answers too obvious. And when she digs for more, she discovers that at nearly the exact time a kitchen knife was jammed into the victim's ribs, the passcode to his art studio was changed - and all of the data on his computer deliberately corrupted. To Roarke, it's the computer attack that poses the real threat. Signs show that this is the nightmare his company has secretly been preparing for. He and Reva have been under a code-red government contract to develop a program that would shield against a new breed of hackers, the Doomsday Group. These techno-terrorists with brilliant minds and plenty of financial backing hack into systems, steal data, and corrupt computer units on a large scale - and kill anyone who gets too close. Eve and Roarke must infiltrate an extraordinarily secretive government agency to expose the corruption at its core, before the virus spreads from one office to a corporation to the entire country. Members Reviews: If you haven't read Big Jack, get it first Although the In Death numbering scheme makes it look as if this book is the sequel to Imitation in Death, it's not. Between the two, Roberts wrote a half Roberts/half Robb novel called Remember When, a two part book set half in present day and half in 2050s NYC. Only the second half is about Dallas, and it's available standalone under the title Big Jack. It's a very nice story, so go back and get it if you missed it. Now, about this book... I'm listening to the series in order, and Divided is my favorite since Witness. There is real tension between Eve and Roarke as he is torn between his desire to protect her "bad Roarke" style and his respect for the law through her. There is, as a negative review noted, a higher percentage of dialog to action than in some other books, but if you're into series fiction it's really all about the characters. This book has some great Roarke and Dallas character development, funny and touching scenes with the still pregnant Mavis, and some interesting glimpses into the workings of the mysterious Roarke Enterprises. Program your auto chef for coffee and danish, put on your favorite Freestone album, and enjoy. Narrator? Love the book. The narrator doesn't seem do the same voice as in previous books. Great story. Liked the Story but the Voices Were Off Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Yes, I love the series and think friends would like it also. What did you like best about this story? The government twist was unexpected. Have you listened to any of Susan Ericksens other performances before? How does this one compare? I'm listening to the In Death series from the beginning. I absolutely love Susan Ericksen. She does all of the voices and 98% can tell which character is speaking without the normal preface of Peabody said or McNabb said then Roarke said. The characters just speak and you know who they are. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? Roarke and Bond are hard to imitate. Another Great Story by JD Robb Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Yes, the series is well written.

Title: Raven Black Subtitle: Book One of the Shetland Island Quartet Author: Ann Cleeves Narrator: Gordon Griffin Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 20 mins Language: English Release date: 11-19-14 Publisher: Macmillan Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 1561 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: Long a celebrated crime writer in Britain, Ann Cleeves' fame went international when she won the coveted Duncan Lawrie Dagger for this amazing suspense novel, Raven Black. Like Colin Dexter's Inspector Morse or Peter Robinson's Inspector Banks, Cleeves' new detective, Inspector Jimmy Perez, is a very private and perceptive man whose bailiwick is a remote hamlet in the Shetland Islands. It is a cold January morning, and Shetland lies beneath a deep layer of snow. Trudging home, Fran Hunter's eye is drawn to a splash of color on the frozen ground, ravens circling above. It is the strangled body of her teenage neighbor, Catherine Ross. The locals on the quiet island stubbornly focus their gaze on one man - loner and simpleton Magnus Tait. But when detective Jimmy Perez and his colleagues from the mainland insist on opening out the investigation, a veil of suspicion and fear is thrown over the entire community. For the first time in years, Catherine's neighbors nervously lock their doors while a killer lives on in their midst. Ann Cleeves is sure to dazzle US mystery listeners with this unforgettable series debut. This series is the basis for the hit BBC show Shetland, starring Douglas Henshall, which attracted over 12 million viewers in its first two nights on the air. Members Reviews: Great start to series, no audio problems anymore Woo-hoo! I found a new crime series to love. Great setting (Shetland Islands north of Scotland), rich characters, strong plot. In this case, two girls ring the door of a man with mental disabilities on New Years Eve as part of a dare. One of them turns up dead a couple of days later, and the small community turns on the man because theyd always blamed him in the disappearance of a little girl years earlier. Bechdel test: Pass. Grade: A- The narrator does well conveying old men and teen girls, not an easy feat. He gives enough of a hint of accent that you feel transported but without the characters being difficult to understand. Some reviewers talk about audio problems but as of March 28, 2017, I heard none. Defective Production Good story, excellent reader, problems with the audio, as has been noted by other reviewers. I'll probably just read this somewhere, and return this book, as it is much too disconcerting to hear "Chapter 29" in the middle of a description of our protagonist reeling from a punch in the face -- this defect is at 1:05 and I have already heard several of these recorded overlays, which are interfering with the actual story. I even deleted this from my library and downloaded again, in case Audible had decided to fix the problem. But they haven't as of 2/23/15. A Cozy With Technical Trouble I wanted to love this award winning thriller but to me it just had too many issues. Several other reviewers commented on production problems and I have to agree with them--it was pretty terrible. There seemed to be a secondary recording that did random parallel voice overs that made no sense at all--and spoke with the narration. It was disturbing and almost jarring. Even more than this the book is most definitely not a thriller but a cozy police procedural. In the end a very slow, plodding and careful story telling and delivery. Can't recommend. Audio problems Any additional comments? Noticing the same problem as others with the bad audio interruptions.

Robb Narrator: Susan Ericksen Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 22 mins Language: English Release date: 05-20-08 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 2188 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: Now Nixie Swisher is an orphan - and the sole eyewitness to a seemingly inexplicable crime. Kids are not Dallas' strong suit. But Nixie needs a safe place to stay, and Dallas needs to solve this case. Not only because of the promise she made to Nixie. Not only for the cause of justice. But also to put to rest some of her own darkest memories - and deepest fears. With her partner Peabody on the job, and watching her back - and with Roarke providing the kind of help only he can give - Lieutenant Eve Dallas is running after shadows, and dead-set on finding out who's behind them. Members Reviews: Rocks! I think this is one of my favorites from the In Death Series. I really like Norah Roberts and when I read everything possible by Norah Roberts I decided to try JD Robb because I am huge fan of her other books. I had never listened to audio-books but these are highly addicting. Susan Ericksen does a really entertaining job with the narrating. I tried to read one of these books and stopped after 2 chapters to go fine the audio-book so I could get the feeling back in the characters. I think Lieutenant Dallas, Eve is absolutely wonderful and who wouldn't love sexy Roarke. The picture I have in my head when Roberts describe him sizzles, especially with there chemistry. I can't wait till October for the next one to be available. I sometimes wish Peabody didn't sound so weird but I guess you can only do so many female voices. I think this whole series rocks. J D Robb gives us a Gem of a story. What made the experience of listening to Survivor in Death the most enjoyable? The Inclusion of a young child as a main character made this really enjoyable. Eve is always so hesitant in her dealings with children, so to have a plot where Eve and Roarke are in such close proximity to this character is brilliant. What other book might you compare Survivor in Death to and why? I don't like comparing books with others, each is separate from the other. To make an attempt at similar types, though, perhaps Tami Hoag books could be of similar type. Readers could also try Kate Kingsbury, Ann Charles, Elizabeth Lowell is another favourite and there are others to be found. Also it might be pertinent to write that J D Robb is actually Nora Roberts (for those who don't know) and Nora has written some really good mysteries under her own name, i.e., Angels Fall, Sanctuary, Hot Rocks and others. These are good reading as well. Don't know if they are all available as audio but some are. Which character as performed by Susan Ericksen was your favorite? Nixie Swisher the little girl who plays such a large part in the novel. I think she was performed really well and drawn as a character really well, too. In Tears This was a really good one. I couldn't put it down, so to speak. But it really is a tear jerker. I found myself crying often for the young girl who survived and the others that did not. One of my favorites in in this series. audio issues, story is great audio is not great in half the book; it sounds muffled and doesn't sound good. Story is great as usual Plenty of missing lines Is there anything you would change about this book? Narrator skips paragraphs, sentences. Need to fix that. Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How? Plot was great How could the performance have been better? Quit skipping parts.

Kindred in Death Audiobook by J. D. Robb

Robb Narrator: Susan Ericksen Format: Unabridged Length: 13 hrs and 56 mins Language: English Release date: 11-03-09 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 2069 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: Not even their worst nightmares could have prepared them for the crime scene that awaits them inside. Deena has been brutally murdered in her bedroom, and her body shows signs of trauma that horrify even the toughest of cops, including our own Lieutenant Eve Dallas, who is specifically requested by the captain to investigate. The evidence piles up, and Dallas and her team think they are about to arrest the perpetrator. But little do they know that someone has gone to great lengths to tease and taunt them, using a variety of identities. Overconfidence can lead to careless mistakes, but for Dallas, one mistake might be all she needs to bring the killer to justice. Editorial Reviews: Erickson's narration has the strikingly confident acting chops of a charismatic lead actor in a great long-running television series. She knows and inhabits her cast of characters decisively, while carefully mining the little diamonds of growth and change that Robb seeds into these stories. From Dallas' driven, prickly authority, to Roarke's potent charm, to Peabody's nerdy earnestness, and the handful of unique, well-drawn secondary characters, the cast here is entertainingly diverse but hasn't grown too large for listeners to catch on quickly to who's who. And kudos to Ericksen for making it easy by capturing each voice clearly, and using finely tuned pace and timing to bring out all the wit, blood-chilling suspense, and sizzling romance in Robb's storytelling. Great villains are also a trademark of this series. The bad guy here is a master manipulator, a chameleon who slips and slides through the city, killing with a cruelty that shakes Dallas to her core. Ericksen gives him a guileless menace that rings terrifyingly true. Watch for a terrific 90 degree twist near the end that provides that perfect combination of thrill and 'a-ha!' to round out this plot. Robb's In Death series is, like all the great police procedurals, built on rich character development. Dallas is sexy, acerbic, absolutely tenacious, and destined to rub people the wrong way. Roarke is drop-dead gorgeous, filthy rich, and utterly in love with his wife. This is partnership as the ultimate romantic relationship, and a crime-fighting team that's unstoppable. In July 2009 The New Yorker magazine featured a long overdue profile of the immensely successful Nora Roberts (a.k.a. J. D. Robb). So if you're a first-time listener coming to see what all the fuss is about, the In Death series is about to become your favorite new way to kick back and enjoy a great story well told. Members Reviews: Good book in a great series Although I'm a real fan of Eve, Roarke and the other characters, this book was more somber than most--a really awful crime, without much of the usual witty repartee that make these books so enjoyable. Still a worthy entry in the series, and Susan Ericksen did her usual wonderful job as a narrator, really bringing the characters to life. If you haven't gotten into the ID series, this may not be the place to start, but if you're already a fan it's very definitely worth a listen. J.D.Robb cleverly keeps up the suspense. After 29 books on the same theme, and roughly following the same format, J. D. Robb still cleverly keeps up the interest and suspense throughout this book.

Promises in Death Audiobook by J. D. Robb

Robb Narrator: Susan Ericksen Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 46 mins Language: English Release date: 02-24-09 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 1957 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: Dallas's friend, Chief Medical Examiner Morris, had started a serious relationship with Coltraine, and from all accounts the two were headed for a happy future together. But someone has put an end to all that. After breaking the news to Morris, Eve starts questioning everyone, including Coltraine's squad, informants, and neighbors, while Eve's husband, Roarke, digs into computer data on the dead woman's life back in Atlanta. To their shock, they discover a connection between this case and their own painful, shadowy pasts. The truth will need to be uncovered one layer at a time, starting with the box that arrives at Cop Central addressed to Eve, containing Coltraine's guns, badge, and a note from her killer: "You can have them back. Maybe someday soon, I'll be sending yours to somebody else." But Eve Dallas doesn't take too kindly to personal threats, and she is going to break this case, whatever it takes. And that's a promise. Members Reviews: "Promises" Delivers! Excellent! As usual the author and Narrator, J.D. Robb and Susan Ericksen Bring it to the newest book. It was sad, funny, quirky and as usual Miss Robb (or Roberts) delivers all the characters we have all become so familiar and have fallen in love with. What I particularly liked about "Promises" is how Eve has accepted of who she has become in life and does not harp on her past as a child. I'll admit, I was becoming tired of that. There are some real fun parts you will enjoy ... HINT: Louis & Charles. I do have to recommend to new readers to this series to start from the beginning because if you read this series out of order you will be a little disconnected with the characters and references of past cases. This book in particular. So enjoy, you will not be disappointed ... I "PROMISE". Great Installment! I love this series, and I particularly liked this installment over the previous one. It's great the way the author keeps you in touch with the assorted cast of characters woven throughout this series. If you are new to the series, I recommend that you go back and start from the beginning with Naked in Death and work your way forward. You won't be disappointed! Another great book When I saw that J.D. Robb had a new book coming out I could not wait. I saved a credit specifically to get this book. I am ashamed to say, I cannot get enough of the Death Series. I love all the characters and how their lives evolve. I am happy Nora is giving all the characters a chance to be the focus of the book. She still has quite a few left. I doubt I will ever get tired of this series. I wish she would come out with new ones sooner than she does. Please do not let anyone narrate these books except Susan. She does a fantastic job. Before I bought the book I made sure, she was the narrator. She is a much a part of the series as the characters in the books. Love This Narrator I love her consistency with the voices in every single book Susan Ericksen voices out for J.D. Robb series. I have been hooked since selecting the first book, Naked In Death, and have not been able to miss listening to every one in the series since then. This series in general has action, romance, unpredictability, all everything in between you think to expect.

Cop Town Audiobook by Karin Slaughter

Title: Cop Town Author: Karin Slaughter Narrator: Kathleen Early Format: Unabridged Length: 14 hrs and 32 mins Language: English Release date: 06-24-14 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 2686 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: The critically acclaimed and New York Times best-selling master of suspense delivers her first stand-alone novel, a thrilling tale of crime and struggle set in Atlanta in the mid-1970s. Atlanta, 1974: It's Kate Murphy's first day on the job, and the Atlanta Police Department is seething after the murder of an officer. Before the day has barely begun, she already suspects she's not cut out to be a cop. Her male uniform is too big, she can't handle a gun, and she's rapidly learning that the APD is hardly a place that welcomes women. Worse still, in the ensuing manhunt she'll be partnered with Maggie Lawson, a cop with her own ax to grind (and a brother and uncle already on the force) - a strategy meant to isolate Kate and Maggie from the action. But the move will backfire, putting them right at the heart of it. Cop Town is an incredibly atmospheric nail-biter from the author the Huffington Post called an "exemplary storyteller" and "one of the great talents of the 21st century". Members Reviews: Outstanding, Gutsy Crime Novel Read by a Master Having just finished three of the best crime novels I've ever read, I never expected Cop Town to be as good, if not better than Mr Mercedes, Nesbo's The Son, and Bombproof. Cop Town is a gritty story of the first police women to infiltrate the Atlanta PD in the early 70's. Someone called "the shooter" is killing cops at point blank range. The Atlanta PD of the 1970's was a force in turmoil with the integration of blacks and women into its ranks. No rock of bigotry is left unturned as the two main characters must dance around a smothering culture of racism, misogyny, homophobia to find the killer. There are sophisticated and powerful family systems in place that greatly influence the police work of the two main characters. Karin Slaughter masterfully weaves them into the tale with a depth of emotion I've rarely found in any crime novel. The reader, Kathleen Early is masterful, bringing every character to life and delivering the perfect pitch to every scene. This performance equals any effort of Ray Porter, Eduardo Ballerini and Will Patton. Please read Cop Town. It is Slaughter's best work and puts her in rare company. Women cops in bigoted 1974 Georgia It's 1974 in Atlanta, Georgia, and the city is sharply divided by class and ethnicity. The police force is ruled by white men and women and minorities have to fight bigotry, sexism, and "good old boy" politics. Maggie Lawson comes from a poor family of cops, and has been on the force for a few years. Kate Murphy is a widowed Jewish from a rich family who is determined to make it in the world on her own. She has just joined the force, learning the job, while experiencing humiliation and teasing from most of the other policemen. Kate and Maggie find themselves teamed up against great odds as they branch out on their own to catch a serial police murderer. Though I love Slaughter's writing, I found this book a little disconcerting. I can definitely believe the bigotry of those times, but there were no nice people at all in this book, including Maggie's family, and everyone else involved in this story. I really liked Kate the best, as she had what Jews call hutzpah - (Yiddish) unbelievable gall; insolence; audacity) , and great bravery in many difficult situations.

Robb Narrator: Susan Ericksen Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 50 mins Language: English Release date: 06-06-08 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 1808 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: But Mavis needs an even bigger favor now. Tandy Willowby, one of the moms-to-be in her class, has gone missing, just days before her due date - not even showing up at the shower at Eve and Roarke's place that she'd been looking forward to so much. A recent emigrant from London, Tandy has few friends in New York, and no family. When Eve enters Tandy's apartment and finds Mavis' shower gift wrapped and ready on the table - and Tandy's packed hospital bag still on the floor - her spine starts tingling. Normally, this would be turned over to Missing Persons. Eve has more than enough on her plate trying to find out who murdered Natalie Copperfield and her fiancé, both employed at a highly prestigious accounting firm. But Mavis wants no one but Eve on the case - and Eve can't say no. She'll have to track Tandy down while tracing the deals and double-crosses hidden in the files of some of the city's richest and most secretive citizens, in a race against a particularly vicious killer. Luckily, she has her multimillionaire husband Roarke's expertise to help with the numbers-crunching. But as he mines for the crucial data that will break the case wide open, Eve faces an all-too-real danger in the flesh-and-blood world. Critic Reviews: "The audio skips smoothly along, connecting subplots blithely, and Susan Ericksen never misses a beat." (AudioFile) Members Reviews: I loved it. Classic Nora -- fantasy, mystery, love, and suspense, all wrapped up with a ridiculously happy ending. The narrator does a great job and it's just great, fun, escape. Another Great Dallas Story If you could sum up Born in Death in three words, what would they be? Dallas and Rorke continue to evolve, and Mavis gives birth, while another killer is brought down. What more is there to say? :) What does Susan Ericksen bring to the story that you wouldn???t experience if you just read the book? I have listened to the entire series up to this point, and Susan is outstanding in almost all of them. There was one or two titles where she seemed to lose her rhythm, but she is back on track here. Her use of separate voices for each character makes it easy to picture the conversation going on, and help keep the story flowing without the constant Any additional comments? If you love the Dallas series, this one will make you happy. If you are not familiar with the series, you should probably start back at volume 1. Though each title mostly stands on its own, there is a definite progression of the characters and their relationships, and the story makes more sense with that background. I love Mavis! I like this book a lot because Mavis plays a bigger role in this one. It's an interesting story. Worth the time and the credit. Relationships Another great story. Eve and Mavis's relationship is awesome. I laughed and cried. Bella-Eve!! Born In Death I love this series.

Summit Lake Audiobook by Charlie Donlea

Title: Summit Lake Author: Charlie Donlea Narrator: Shannon McManus Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 12 mins Language: English Release date: 01-26-16 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 1487 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: Set in a small, picturesque North Carolina town, Charlie Donlea's suspenseful debut novel tells the haunting story of a murdered law school student, the reporter assigned to her story - and the intimate connection that comes when the living walk in the footsteps of the dead. "No suspects. No persons of interest. Just a girl who was alive one day and dead the next." Some places seem too beautiful to be touched by horror. Summit Lake, nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains, is that kind of place, with charming stilt houses dotted along the pristine water. But two weeks ago, Becca Eckersley, a first-year law student, was brutally murdered in one of those houses. The daughter of a powerful attorney, Becca was hard-working, accomplished, and ambitious. Now, while the town reels with grief and shocked residents gather to share their theories, the police are baffled. At first, investigative reporter Kelsey Castle thinks of the assignment as a fluff piece. But the savagery of the crime, and the determined efforts to keep the case quiet, all hint at something far more than a random attack by a stranger. As Kelsey digs deeper, pushing on despite danger and warnings, she feels a growing connection to the dead girl. And the more she learns about Becca's friendships, her love life - and the secrets she was keeping - the more convinced she becomes that learning the truth about Becca could be the key to overcoming her own dark past.... Members Reviews: This is a good listen This has enough twists and turns to make you always wonder "who" was the murderer. I look forward to her next book. Very sad ending to a promising young life... What was one of the most memorable moments of Summit Lake? When Becca's murderer sits down with the letter she wrote to her unborn daughter. The one thing I regret about this book is that it brings up the letter quite a few times but never says what the letter says but I guess anyone who has or ever thought about having children can kind of fill in the blanks. What does Shannon McManus bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? I thought she did a very good job narrating. I have listened to her narration of other books and I think this may be her best performance. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Maybe not in one sitting but I did listen to it in one day. Any additional comments? I thought this was a very good book. I've looked at some of the other reviews that say it's a novel or unique idea but I really didn't see it that way. To me this book is the classic love triangle. The book makes the murdered girl kind of a flirt so the third party to the triangle although kind of predictable could possibly be another. There is a lot of secrecy surrounding this girl and the relationship she has with her baby's father. There are a few things that happened that made no sense to me whatsoever (i.e.: the victim left her diary/journal at a local cafe and instead of turning it over to the police the shop owner hid in in one of her cookbooks...HUH?). Anyway I did like the writing style, the book moves along at a pretty good pace. I liked the way the author go back and forth between past and present and did not find it at all confusing. With each new chapter he says the number of months or week or day before the murder. Or in the case of the investigative reporter he stated how long since the murder.

Creation in Death Audiobook by J. D. Robb

Robb Narrator: Susan Ericksen Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 19 mins Language: English Release date: 05-20-08 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 1687 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: Eve is catapulted back to a case nine years earlier, when a man the media tagged "The Groom" put the city on edge with a killing spree that took the lives of four women in 15 days. Eve and her partner, Feeney, her friend and mentor, couldn't stop him before he disappeared, only to resurface in other parts of the world to kill and kill again. But now The Groom seems to have come back to where he started. When it turns out that The Groom's most recent victim was employed by Eve's billionaire husband, Roarke, she brings him onto the case - a move that proves fitting when it becomes chillingly clear that the killer has made it personal. The corpse was washed in products from a store Roarke owns and laid out on a sheet his company manufactures. With the Groom's monstrous return, Eve is determined to finish him once and for all. Familiar with his methods, she knows that he has already grabbed his next victim. But his sights are set on the biggest challenge of his illustrious career - an abduction that will test his skills and that promises to give him satisfaction as he's never known. Time is running out on another woman's life...and for Eve. Critic Reviews: "[O]ffers a satisfyingly novel mélange of suspense, sex, forensics and heroics." (Publishers Weekly) "This offering in Robb's series showcases Susan Ericksen's versatility and strong characterizations. Her delivery is well suited to the suspense and humor that are so much a part of this series." (AudioFile) Members Reviews: Fantastic as usual. Love the characters, love the voices, love all the books. The excitement, the exhaustion and caring really come thru in this one. Love that Eve doesn't stop and will do whatever is necessary to save someone else from being killed, even endangering herself. This was one of my very favorites I think because Roark really got to be totally involved and see how the cops worked from the inside. KEEP WRITING, KEEP RECORDING! They are wonderful. For those who said some of the books, the voices were off. Be quiet. Just keep listening and all gets back on track. I NEVER had trouble distinguishing who was talking. These books were written to be listened too. One of my favorites thus far!! This time Nora Roberts as her pseudonym J. B. Robb hit it out of the park!! This book had all the intrigue you could ask for in a mystery novel! I liked how she stuck to the story line without adding in all of the sexual play by play she is so well known for. I didn't have to fast forward through much of that in this book. Congratulations to her on an excellent crime novel! Creation in Death As all ways J.D. Robb has been a good read, and the narrator does a great job in getting you to be able to see all the characters in full view. Dancing on the wrong side of the edge Is there anything you would change about this book? Only the premise. Well, okay, maybe not that drastic, but that's my shoot-from-the-hip response. Generally, it's easy to accept a certain amount of graphic violence in a procedural cop story. It goes with the territory and when done properly is also an indicator of an authors ability to present that material in an exciting, logical and artfully descriptive way without being gratuitous.

Robb Narrator: Susan Ericksen Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 33 mins Language: English Release date: 05-20-08 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 1883 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: Dr. Wilfred B. Icove himself has been found dead in his office - murdered in a chillingly efficient manner: one swift stab to the heart. Struck by the immaculate condition of the crime scene, Dallas suspects a professional killing. Security discs show a stunningly beautiful woman calmly entering and leaving the building: the good doctor's final appointment. Known as "Dr. Perfect," the saintly Icove devoted his life to his family and his work. His record is clean. Too clean for Dallas. She knows he was hiding something, and suspects that his son, his successor, knows what it is. Then - like father, like son - the young Dr. Icove is killed...with the same deadly precision. But who is the mystery woman, and what was her relationship with the good doctors? With her husband, Roarke, working behind the scenes, Dallas follows her darkest instincts into the Icoves' pasts. And what she discovers are men driven to create perfection - playing fast and loose with the laws of nature, the limits of science, and the morals of humanity. Critic Reviews: "Robb tones down the romance and ups the action ante as the team uncovers an increasingly horrific crime that builds to a race-against-the-clock climax that will have readers cheering." (Publishers Weekly) "Susan Ericksen brings enthusiasm to the eclectic cast of characters, offering a unique voice to enliven each one. Her rendition of Lieutenant Dallas as a brash, yet secretly sensitive woman is likely to resonate most with listeners." (AudioFile) Members Reviews: WOW! Another GREAT ONE. I am waiting for the other shoe to fall in this series. How can one series have so many books and still be good. I can not stop spending my money on this In Death series. (It's like an addiction.)This one was really good and interesting .I even shed some tears at the end. I have to give it up to Susan Ericksen ( the narrator) she really makes these stories real. ( I especillay got a treat with Roarke's relatives being in town). (Susan has that Irish accent down). I have tried saving money and reading a couple of the books but it is trully not the same without the voices that Susan gives us. Do yourself a favor start with the 1st one you will not be disappointed. One of my favs I read all of the Eve stories and this is one I really noticed out of the crowd :) The BEST Eve Dallas I've read-the Icove Agenda sot I NEVER thought I'd ever give a Nora Roberts book 5 stars but this book had everything, especially in the audio version. It was an exciting tense plot that kept me up all night listening. I dozed off towards 5AM but woke up and reset my iPad back to when I could remember what was going on. Tense, a great turn around at the end, stressful and terse writing and Susan Ericksen's wonderful narration made this a superior Eve Dallas entrance to the series. I'd started listening to the last books from last towards the middle and had heard "Icove Agenda" for several books-so I checked it online and found out which book it was in. Since so many of the later books referred back to this case, I finally had to listen to it. It also made me realize how many Eve Dallas books I've missed over the years...time to catch up. Don't miss this one! Origin in Death This is a great series by this author. What happened at Thanksgiving? That's my only complaint.

Title: A Perfect Grave Subtitle: Jason Wade Series, Book 3 Author: Rick Mofina Narrator: Paul Costanzo Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 15 mins Language: English Release date: 05-23-17 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 36 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: Rookie crime reporter Jason Wade, a troubled loner from the wrong side of the tracks, pursues the story of a murdered Seattle nun. The case leads him to a hermit nun who founded a mysterious religious order; and ultimately to the dark secret that has tormented his ex-cop father for decades. It culminates in a life and death struggle against the clock. With time running out, Jason and his father battle the odds to confront a terrible truth. Members Reviews: This is a must read author... Another excellent addition to the Jason Wade investigative journalist crime thrillers. I don't think I need to recap the story but will say that as with this author's other books he tells a realistic tale depicting crimes and consequences that could be right out of headline news. My guess would be that he pulls from his own 30+ years experience as a crime reporter. I HIGHLY RECOMMENDED this series as well as his other Reed and Sydowski series. He also has a stand alone "They Disappeared". I have not yet read the Jack Gannon series but have every intention of doing so. I don't understand why this author does not get more recognition, he is one of my favorites. If you found this review helpful please indicate so. Thank You. A perfect police procedural/suspense thriller! A Perfect Grave was first released in 2007 then released in Kindle format in 2015 and released at Audible today. This is the 8th audio novel by Rick Mofena I have listened to and reviewed; five were in the Tom Reed and Walt Sydowski series and A Perfect Grave is the third in the Jason Wade series. All have earned 5 stars for both the story and the narration. There are many excellent writers of the crime suspense mystery/thriller genre, but none are better in my opinion than Rick Mofina. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! Four This offers an unusual story line and some interesting characters. If you like an autho, who can put together a complex mystery, you will appreciate this. Not a gentle cosy and not a bloody bash. (in spite of the opening) Great mystery A Perfect Grave is my first book by Modena. This is part of a series (3rd)and I got strong inclinations that the series should be read in order. Nevertheless It is great storytelling with charismatic characters. The inside workings of news reporting, with its ethics, sourcing, competition and love/hate relationships with law enforcement is fascinating. This alone is worth the price of admission. The series features Jason Wade as the main hero. Here is where I wish I had started with the first novel, because I never felt I knew enough about the young reporter. That said, he is a great reporter with high ethical standards and extremely fun to follow.

Title: City of the Lost Subtitle: A Thriller Author: Kelley Armstrong Narrator: Therese Plummer Format: Unabridged Length: 13 hrs and 47 mins Language: English Release date: 05-03-16 Publisher: Macmillan Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 1040 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: Casey Duncan is a homicide detective with a secret: When she was in college, she killed a man. She was never caught, but he was the grandson of a mobster, and she knows that someday this crime will catch up to her. Casey's best friend, Diana, is on the run from a violent, abusive ex-husband. When Diana's husband finds her, and Casey herself is attacked shortly after, Casey knows it's time for the two of them to disappear again. Diana has heard of a town made for people like her, a town that takes in people on the run who want to shed their old lives. You must apply to live in Rockton, and if you're accepted it means walking away entirely from your old life and living off the grid in the wilds of Canada: no cell phones, no Internet, no mail, no computers, very little electricity, and no way of getting in or out without the town council's approval. As a murderer Casey isn't a good candidate, but she has something they want: She's a homicide detective, and Rockton has just had its first real murder. She and Diana are in. However, soon after arriving, Casey realizes that the identity of a murderer isn't the only secret Rockton is hiding - in fact she starts to wonder if she and Diana might be in even more danger in Rockton than they were in their old lives. An edgy, gripping crime audiobook from best-selling urban fantasy writer Kelley Armstrong, City of the Lost boldly announces a major new player in the crime fiction world. Members Reviews: Great Book This is by far the best book that I've read in years. Solid plot. Part mystery, part romance (but not sticky, just believable and realistic) part cops & killers, part unusual plot twists. Realistic characters. Superb narrator - also the best I've heard in years. I wish it was the first in a series. I'm sure there will be readers who disagree with me, after all we're all different to some extent or another. But for me it was just fantastic! Thank you Kelley Armstrong. Do you have more similar stories? Outstanding new detective series! I must add my praise to the great reviews of the book. Kelly Armstrong created a city Rockton, and new characters for this new series. Rockton is a city in the wilds of Canada. People with secrets need a place like Rockton to hide from the judgements of a civil society. The city is populated with people shedding their past selves. It is a city of criminals who can pay to become invisible and victims who seek some place to live without fear. Casey Duncan is a homicide detective who has a secret. She now calls Rockton her home. and works as a homicide detective. Armstrong has deftly created a plot twist, which makes it a challenge to guess the perpetrator of murders. There is one law of Rockton, ask no one of their past. Every resident of Rockton has the propensity for violence, no person is safe. They live off the grid, with few resources. There is a vicious killer preying on the residents. Without the expertise of a detective, the sheriff is unable to solve the crime. bluck. Unrealistic over dramatic trype. Truly written like a high school students view of the criminal world.

Robb Narrator: Susan Ericksen Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 38 mins Language: English Release date: 05-20-08 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 1796 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: Lieutenant Eve Dallas, of course, is more hardened to murder cases. And this is clearly a murder case. That lovingly packed lunch was tainted with deadly ricin. And Mr. Foster's colleagues, shocked as they may be, have some shocking secrets of their own. It's Eve's job to get a feel for all the potential suspects, and find out why someone would have done this to a man who seemed so inoffensive, so pleasant...so innocent. Now Magdelana Percell - there's someone Eve can picture as a murder victim. Possibly at Eve's own hands. The slinky blonde - an old flame of her billionaire husband, Roarke, from his days on the wrong side of the law - has turned up in New York, and she's anything but innocent. Unfortunately, Roarke seems blind to Magdelana's manipulation, but not to her shapely figure and flirtatious ways. And he insists that the occasional lunch or business meeting with her is nothing to worry about...and none of Eve's business. Eve's so unnerved by the situation that she finds it hard to focus on the Foster case. Still, she'll have to put aside her anger, jealousy, and heartbreak, for a while at least - because another man has just turned up dead, and the case is taking some strange turns and hitting some frustrating dead ends. Eve knows all too well that innocence can be a façade. Keeping that in mind may help her solve this case at last. But it may also tear apart her marriage. Critic Reviews: "Once again Lt. Eve Dallas shows why she's 'New York City's top murder cop' in [Nora] Roberts's 24th thriller under her Robb pseudonym set half a century into the future." (Publishers Weekly) "Susan Ericksen...delivers powerful secondary characters of both genders and varying ages." (AudioFile) Members Reviews: I Love J D Robb Another excellent book in this series. This narrator is the Perfect voice. I will always be first in line to purchase any of the Eve Dallas books, but always want this narrator used. It was no accident Wow! What an excellent read/listen. Rapid moving story with exciting characters. Complete with road rage traffic outbursts. A strong mix of who done it and privacy issues. Nice twist and turns with a unpredicted outcome. So sweet, so innocent in death. Another Great One! Susan Erikson you rock. The voices are what makes the stories for me. Topsy turvey twister with a dash of a man being a man. Koodles to Eve for her get back at the end. I love Roarke and Eve's relationship and soooo glad that J.D. Robb keeps their marriage real on all levels and shows us that no matter how much we love Roarke he is still a man and can get a case of "the blinders" just like the rest of them. No worries if you love them too.... it works out in the end. The story line was in a class of it self. I am glad that I never know what to expect and there is alwasy something new to think about with each story. Happy Reading/Listening I am on to book 25. Another of the best The mystery was tight and compelling, and the femme fatale from Roarke's past gave it just the right touch to make Roarke a little more human and less 'too good to be true' (although of course he is, lol). Eve and Roarke's relationship is the glue that holds this series together, in my opinion.

Sold by her Thai parents along with her little sister, Nason; marooned in America; abused by the men who trafficked them...the only thing that kept Livia alive as a teenager was her determination to find Nason. Livia has never stopped looking. And she copes with her failure to protect her sister by doing everything she can to put predators in prison. Or, when that fails, by putting them in the ground. But when a fresh lead offers new hope of finding Nason and the men who trafficked them both, Livia will have to go beyond just being a cop. Beyond even being a vigilante. She'll have to relive the horrors of the past. Take on one of the most powerful men in the US government. And uncover a conspiracy of almost unimaginable evil. In every way, it's an unfair fight. But Livia has two advantages: her unending love for Nason - And a lifelong lust for vengeance. Critic Reviews: "Author Barry Eisler narrates his own work with the skill of a professional voice actor.... He never strains credulity as Livia transitions from child victim to confident woman and avenging angel for the abused. Livia's male abusers - especially her stepfather - practically hiss with vileness, like coiled snakes. When young Livia learns jujutsu and starts fighting back, listeners will share her visceral catharsis and newfound empowerment." ( AudioFile) Members Reviews: This is a heartbreaker that makes u want 2 hit someone! This is another really Excellent book from Barry Eisler. Although I would really like more of the John Rain series, his last book (Gods Eye View) and this one really demonstrate his writing as well as his narrating abilities. This is a very dark story involving human trafficking and the sex industry. There were scenes that were somewhat difficult to listen to, however this story is a work of fiction. I realize that there are people that just do not want to listen to books like this but I also think it is very important not to bury our heads in the sand and think that will make this awful side of (in)humanity go away. I agree with Audible listener Wayne in saying this book has my most HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION. If you found this review helpful please indicate so. Thank You. Wishing Livia was real... To start, I really like Eisler's work... particularly when he focuses on troubled vigilante protagonists who are driven to seek justice (his forays into "political" thrillers are not quite as strong). I had a hard time putting this book down. It was disturbing and satisfying at the same time. You hate everyone you are supposed to hate and you don't feel even a twinge of guilt when Livia does "bad" things. The story is based on disgusting and disturbing activities that really happen, and, while Livia was a survivor, I suspect she exists only in this fiction: too bad. It is suspenseful, and the story unfolds with "then" and "now" sections, which gradually come together at the end - this was really well done. You become fully immersed in Livia's world and at some points you might find yourself wanting join in with Livia as she doles out some justice. The narration is good (Eisler narrates his own works and is decent at it, although you can tell it is not his primary occupation).

Telling Tales Audiobook by Ann Cleeves

Now residents of the East Yorkshire village of Elvet are disturbed to hear of new evidence proving Jeanie's innocence. Abigail's killer is still at large. For one young woman, Emma Bennett, the revelation brings back haunting memories of her vibrant best friend - and of that fearful winter's day when she had discovered her body lying cold in a ditch. As Inspector Vera Stanhope makes fresh enquiries on the peninsula and villagers are hauled back to a time they hoped to forget, tensions begin to mount. But are people afraid of the killer or of their own guilty pasts? With each person's story revisited, the inspector begins to suspect that some deadly secrets are threatening to unfurl.... Members Reviews: A mystery with depth! Ann Cleeves is simply an astonishing writer. She creates characters who have complicated lives and motivations, well drawn in the short space she has for giving the reader (listener) a chance to enter into Veras world for a short while. Because thats how it seemsas though we deeply enter into the Vera Stanhope space, with good insights into who she is as both a woman and a detective. But we also get to know the characters very well, so that by the end, her books always feel very satisfying in that way. This story is a good mystery, a police procedural, but it also explores a moral question of the towns collective guilt, as we learn from the beginning that a decade earlier the wrong person was convicted of a murder. And in her despair over not being heard as innocent, she has now committed suicide in prison. So this book has layers of explorationfor who the actual murderer is, and how people are handling the false imprisonment of a young woman. This is a really good story, well read by Julia Franklin. Just dive in, its well worth the credit.If you have watched the Vera series on tv, you are in for a treat, because only in the books, can you get all the nuances of who Vera is, how she came to be the way she is, and have a chance to really know her better as a character in her own right. What a fabulous book to listen to I have read Ann Cleve's for years. And even watched some of the Vera series on television. As good as both of those were, listening to this one with the wonderful narration was an exceptional experience. If the same narrator reads the other books in the series, I'm going to be hooked for a while. Early Entry in the Series The style of this book seems different to me than later entries. There is more character development and less time spent on the police procedural aspect. I enjoyed the book very much. However, if you are looking for a fast moving plot with lots of action you may be disappointed. The mystery is a good one - I didn't figure it out before it was revealed in the story. The cast of characters have interesting stories that are revealed throughout the book. But the star of the show is Vera Stanhope. She is unique and amazing - one of a kind. If you enjoy Ann Cleeves writing I believe you will enjoy this book. Best Vera ever! Superb reader, intriguing plot. One of the best of Ann Cleeves's Vera mysteries on Audible yet! Vera is something!! Any additional comments? I really like the Vera Stanhope series. Vera maybe an acquired taste type character but she is pretty amazing.

The single word is written on a mirror. In front of it hangs a Minneapolis Internal Affairs cop. Was it suicide? Or a kinky act turned tragic? Either way, it wasn't murder. At least not according to the powers that be. But veteran homicide detective Sam Kovac and his wisecracking, ambitious partner, Nikki Liska, think differently. Together they begin to dig at the too-neat edges of the young cop's death, uncovering one motive - and one suspect - after another. The cloud of suspicion falls not only on the city's elite, but over the very heart of the police department. Someone wants the case closed - quickly and forever. But even with their careers and their lives on the line, neither Kovac nor Liska will give up. As they unearth a connection between a two-month-old murder case and one that has been closed for twenty years, they find themselves chasing a killer who will stop at nothing to keep a dark and shattering secret. Members Reviews: Typical Tami - TERRIFIC! Would you consider the audio edition of Dust to Dust to be better than the print version? I would definitely prefer the audio version but only because it's difficult anymore to slow down long enough to actually read. With the audio...I can have someone read it to me while I'm doing everything else I need to do. What other book might you compare Dust to Dust to and why? Any of the later Tami Hoag books. The earlier ones are more romantic suspense, which I prefer, but her books just get better and better. What about David Colaccis performance did you like? Everything. He has specific voices for each character and he doesn't make the female voices sound cartoonish. He IS the voice of Kovak. I'll be hunting for more from him. Couldn't Hang With This One, Gave Up!! I am super disappointed with this Tami Hoag novel. I quit after nearly four hours. The novel is over 14 hours long. I have read 3 or 4 of her novels so far and have loved! loved! loved! them. This one does not feel or sound like it was written by Tami Hoag. The wording was stilted and sounded forced maybe because there are a lot of clichés used. What I heard was repetitious, the story seemed to be going in circles and not moving forward.... too much fluff... I know that there are many positive reviews but this one was not for me. I did not like the narrator at all.. In addition to his lack of performance abilities and limited voice tones, his nasal voice sounded whinny and was very annoying.... Couldn't take that voice. I am sorry to see that this narrator is used for a lot of this author's novels..... oh well..... This May Be Her Best This is a multi layered story; a who-dun-it skillfully woven with a mystery. The foreshadowing is sprinkled just right throughout the story, never too heavy handed. David Colacci did a masterful job of narrating and distinguishing each character quite well. It contains one of the best written love scenes, both romantic and believable. I won't spoil it by telling which characters are involved. This may be her best book yet. I was sad when it was finished. Very disappointed.. What was most disappointing about Tami Hoags story? I have been reading Tami Hoag books for years.

A murder from the past. A murder from the present. And a life that was never meant to be.... As the dreary, bitter weather of late fall descends on Minneapolis, Detective Nikki Liska is restless. After moving to the cold case squad in order to spend more time with her sons, she misses the rush of pulling an all-nighter, the sense of urgency of hunting a murderer on the loose. Most of all she misses her old partner, Sam Kovac. Sam is having an even harder time adjusting to Nikki's absence, saddled with a green new partner younger than pieces of Sam's wardrobe. Sam is distracted from his troubles by an especially brutal double homicide: a middle-aged husband and wife bludgeoned and hacked to death in their home with a ceremonial Japanese samurai sword. Nikki's case, the unsolved murder of a family man, community leader, and decorated sex crimes detective for the Minneapolis PD, is less of a distraction: twenty years later, there is little hope for finding the killer who got away. On the other end of the spectrum, Minneapolis resident Evi Burke has a life she only dreamed of as a kid in and out of foster homes: a beautiful home, a family, people who love her, a fulfilling job. Little does she know that a danger from her past is stalking her perfect present. A danger powerful enough to pull in both Kovac and Liska and destroy the perfect life she was never meant to have. Members Reviews: Another Tami Hoag Problem Novel Darn, darn, darn. I am a long time fan of Tami Hoag suspense novels, especially the Kovac and Linska series. Two books back I ended up disappointed with her last Kovac and Linska novel that was also a problem novel about bullying. This one is about sex abuse and consequences. It's not bad, it's just kind of mediocre. The spark that made her earlier books must reads is no longer there, at least for me. The narrator wasn't particularly interesting either. He's done better in the past, although he is not one of favorites. I'm very disappointed. Not as good as previous books This story feels rushed, and the coincidences are way to far fetched. Trying to tie Liska and Kovach together like this didn't work for me. I like the new partner. Maybe he needs his own series of books? Not Good Any additional comments? Sorry I wasted a credit. Not the Tami Hoag I've grown to love. Poor narration! Not My Favourite, But OK. Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not? I would recommend other books in the Kovac and Liska series (Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust, Prior Bad Acts, and The Ninth Girl) by Tami Hoag, or, her Oak Knoll series (Deeper than the Dead, Secrets to the Grave, and Down the Darkest Road), which I liked much better. So, no, I wouldn't really recommend this book, but certainly others by this author. What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!) The ending was fine. Satisfactory. Made sense. But I did see it coming. Have you listened to any of David Colaccis other performances before? How does this one compare? I don't think I've listened to Colacci before, but he did a really wonderful job narrating the story.

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 1408 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: Winner of the 2017 Ned Kelly Award Another thrilling mystery featuring Detective Sean Duffy and his most dangerous investigation yet. Belfast, 1988. A man is found dead, killed with a bolt from a crossbow in front of his house. This is no hunting accident. But uncovering who is responsible for the murder will take Detective Sean Duffy down his most dangerous road yet, a road that leads to a lonely clearing on a high bog where three masked gunmen will force Duffy to dig his own grave. Hunted by forces unknown, threatened by Internal Affairs, and with his relationship on the rocks, Duffy will need all his wits to get out of this investigation in one piece. Critic Reviews: "Narrator Gerard Doyle has provided the voice of Adrian McKinty's Sean Duffy since the first audiobook of the series. Returning for Book 6, he's more in tune with Duffy's complexity than ever before.... McKinty's blend of dark drama with perfectly timed humor and intensely plotted action is performed by Doyle as though he's intimately familiar with Duffy's mind, heart, and body. Listeners comprehend the vastness of Duffy's emotion without a caricatured delivery. Doyle delivers another winning narration." ( AudioFile) Members Reviews: Nothing better than a Duffy tale! The sight of a new McKinty book on Audible, especially a new entry in the Sean Duffy series, is enough to send me over the moon, like a kid on Xmas morning. "Police at the Station" doesn't disappoint, on the contrary - for me It's the equivalent of a gourmet meal. No one writes more fully developed, wonderfully flawed and believable characters, terrific dialogue and twisty plots like McKinty. Can't rave enough about this series. Every now and then I start from the beginning and read them all, just to savor the language, the humor, the humanity, and I always find more to love on the second or third reading. Adrian McKinty is a master, and the brilliant dryly witty reading of Gerard Doyle is the perfect, the only voice for the literate, streetwise, snarky Sean Duffy. Hope this series never ends. Outstanding Best of all the Duffy books. Narrator is top notch! Most enjoyable book I listened to in a long time. Excellent This book maintains, and perhaps exceeds, the standard set in the previous Sean Duffy novels. As always, the narration by Gerard Doyle is outstanding. I highly recommend this book to mystery/crime readers who value character and conversation as much as plot and action. Dark, Gritty, Potent, Masterpiece! "A paranoid is a man who knows a little about what is going on." - Anon, Quoted from 'Police At The Station and they Don't Look Friendly'. My eyes are moist. Gerard Doyle reads The end credits. No, don't end it. Want more Sean Duffy More 80s Ulster More Crabbie McCrabben But Adrian McKinty Promised just 3 books And this is his 6th Sean Doyle. There is no stronger Mystery writer. Few as good NONE better. 'Police At The Station and they Don't Look Friendly': It's the proof. BUT... BUT... This is a historical Epic that starts with 'The Cold Cold Ground'. Start there and End here? End? Gerald Doyle, BTW Reads good As anyone. This book This series Is among All-time VERY best. Another great book I love this series and I really enjoy the Sean Duffy character.

Konrath Narrator: Dick Hill, Susie Breck Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 13 mins Language: English Release date: 09-10-08 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 535 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: Start with a tough but vulnerable Chicago cop. Stir in a psychopath with a unique mental condition that programs him to kill. Add a hyperactive cat, an ailing mother, a jealous boyfriend, a high-maintenance ex-husband, and a partner in the throes of a mid-life crisis. Mix with equal parts humor and suspense, and enjoy Bloody Mary. When Jack receives a report of an excess of body parts appearing at the Cook County Morgue, she hopes its only a miscount. Its not. Even worse, these extra limbs seem to be accessorized with Jacks handcuffs. Someone has plans for Jack. Very bad plans. Plans that involve everything and everyone that she cares about. Jack must put her train wreck of a personal life on hold to catch an elusive, brilliant maniaca maniac for whom getting caught is only the beginning Members Reviews: GREAT GREAT BOOK EASY LISTENING. LOVE THE PLOT. CANT GO WRONG WITH KONRATH. No complaints! It's a great series Jack Daniels and crew are such a great bunch, you never know who is going to pop in for their debut. This story has it's elusive serial killer, identity appearing half way through the book, and Jack again becoming a target. She just gets under these guys skin for some reason. The killer almost seems to be a side story for me, cause I just love the main cast of characters. Jack, Herb, Harry keep the story rolling with personal lives that are sometimes a hoot, and the next minute you're feeling their pain. Jack's life seems to be a believable one, dedicated to her job, but wanting a personal life and things never seem to work out for her. When she does find happiness, a wrench always gets thrown in. Intriguing characters, lots of suspense and action makes this series a winner. Good series but GRAPHIC violence. This is book two in the Jack Daniels series and delves deeper into Jack's personal life with the presence of her mother and her ex-husband who comes back to Chicago. As with book one there is extreme graphic violence written in way more detail than is required so if you are squeamish I would stay away from this series. Jack has a lot of personal ups and downs in this book and as a result is more emotional than in the previous book and yes she does break down and cry but in the context of the story there is good reason for her response so I don't think she should be faulted for it. Cops are human too - I would be concerned if she wasn't bothered by the sick things that the serial killer does and gets away with in parts of this book. Pour Me Another Would you listen to Bloody Mary again? Why? Yes. J.A. Konrath is a pro at writing a hard boiled mystery but his special weapon is his comedic talent. It is the perfect companion to the violence cops face each day. This man has literally had me laughing out loud throughout this book and the first one in the series - Whiskey Sour. I will indeed listen again in the future for any hidden gems I might have missed this time round. What was one of the most memorable moments of Bloody Mary? I love the relationship between Jack and her partner. What does Dick Hill and Susie Breck bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Dick Hill always brings a great experience & Susie Breck has become Jack Daniels. And she had to earn that from me. I wasn't sure I liked her in the beginning.

Title: But for the Grace Subtitle: A DC Smith Investigation Series, Book 2 Author: Peter Grainger Narrator: Gildart Jackson Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 16 mins Language: English Release date: 10-11-16 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 702 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: "We are living in the departure lounge," said Ralph Greenwood, "and flights leave with monotonous regularity." So when another resident of the Rosemary House care home is found dead in her chair one Saturday evening in December, no one is very surprised - not until the results of a routine post-mortem reveal something extraordinary. Sergeant DC Smith and his team have to tread carefully as they investigate what took place, and Smith himself has to confront some difficult memories. Others, meanwhile, seem intent on getting him to leave the force altogether, while, despite his best efforts, his social life also becomes a little more complicated. To top it all, Kings Lake has been waiting weeks for the snow to fall, in a winter that seems as if it will never end. Members Reviews: Thought-provoking story I felt a bit lukewarm about the first book in this series. But I find this one more compelling. Its hard to strictly define itsomewhat police procedural, a little bit of whodunnit, it seems mostly (to me) to be a story that intends to challenge deeply conflicted ethical issues around aging and dying. Sgt DC Smith and his team work a case of an unnatural death in a senior living home. Is it suicide, assisted suicide, murder? And has it happened before? The listener is given a lot of opportunity to consider those possibilities, but the author also uses this book to explore some of the fine lines among these actions, and invites the listener to examine societys attitudes toward them. I liked this second book better than the first, and also want to say that the narration is good as well. It is not a fast page-turner, so much as a book that slowly reveals the story As the listener is invited to think about the topic on several levels. Charm Largely Gone I was pleasantly surprised by the first book in this series. I knew nothing about it when I started reading, but was instantly drawn to the melancholy warmth of the main character DC Smith. The plot was complicated enough to keep my interest, but not so complex I was lost. And several of the secondary characters were interesting enough that I was anxious to get to know them better. Unfortunately, I found But for the Grace, the second book in this series, largely unenjoyable. Smith's personality no longer comes across as kind, generous and a little out of touch, but almost cruel in some of his comments and actions. I couldn't recognize the DC Smith from the first book in the DC Smith from this. There were subplots that seemed totally disconnected from the primary plot, including the introduction of two women who could be potential romantic interests for Smith, but once introduced he didn't seem to know what to do with them. I think my biggest issue though was the case he was working on. It did not qualify as a mystery and there was no suspense. It quickly became apparent what had happened and what would probably happen down the road and once you knew that, there really wasn't more story to tell. And Smith seemed to be persecuting and harassing people he thought might be victims rather then helping them. I do not want to give any spoilers, but when I finished the book all I could think about was what if Smith had not been so slow in realizing what was happening as he interviewed a young woman.

Missing You Audiobook by Harlan Coben

Title: Missing You Author: Harlan Coben Narrator: January LaVoy Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 46 mins Language: English Release date: 03-18-14 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 6001 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: Number-one New York Times best-selling author Harlan Coben set huge sales records with last years Six Years - and hes poised to do it again in his next breathtaking stand-alone thriller. Harlan Coben, author of six consecutive instant number-one New York Times best sellers and a total of 24 award-winning, best-selling, and internationally acclaimed novels, returns with another ripped-from-real-life thriller full of impossibly high emotional stakes and the real-to-life characters for which he has become famous. Editorial Reviews: Editors Select, March 2014 - While not my go-to genre, every now and then I like to sit back and take in a good mystery/thriller. So, when I saw that Harlan Coben was coming out with a new stand-alone novel, I felt it was the perfect time to try out something new from an author I knew well by reputation (through countless rave reviews from Audible members) but never read or listened to personally. Missing Youwas exactly what I was hoping for: a cleverly conceived, suspenseful thrill-ride with cops and bad guys. There's a taken-from-the-headlines sense to the story where 40-year-old NYPD detective, Kat Donovan, discovers an old love and stumbles upon a possible gateway into a mysterious crime world through an online dating site her friend signs her up for. If you are looking for some smart entertainment and the kind of book you just can't put down, I can highly recommend Missing You. For anyone who is already a Coben fan, Missing You offers something new in a strong female protagonist, and a strong female narrator in January LaVoy to boot! Members Reviews: I Ain't Missing You Wow, I thought this book was one of the best I have read so far this year. I think it was so perfect for my taste because it built an amazing back story, (actually two), that kept building and really helped me to connect with the characters. Then, just when the two mysteries were on the verge of making me crazy, the rollercoaster started down on its lightening speed descent. Hold on to your hat and whatever else you brought along with you because it has an extremely exciting, explosive ending with a very short cooling down period. Kat is a NYPD Detective and has been trying to figure out why and who killed her father, (also a NYPD cop), eighteen years ago. When the person who confessed to his killing dies, the information he provided starts to become chock full of holes, which in turn sends Kat into overdrive with more questions than ever. At the time of her father's death Kat's personal life basically went down the tubes. She has devoted herself to her work and searching for the truth behind what really happened all those years ago, this of course does not leave much time for relationships or dating. When her best friend signs her up on a computer dating service she is astounded to find an old love interest on the site as well. When curiosity gets the Kat, she sends a message out to him only to be shut down cold. Kat is confused but decides to let sleeping dogs lie, however, her best friend is not and starts her own little investigation. Shortly after the the big brush off a young college student comes in out of the blue asking for her help to find his mother who he thinks is missing. She is perplexed as to why he would come to her for help when the crime, if any, is not in her district and she has never laid eyes on this young man before.

Only one will return. The couple that offers the highest amount will see their daughter again. The losing couple will not. Make no mistake. One child will die.... When nine-year-old best friends Charlie and Amy disappear, two families are plunged into a living nightmare. A text message confirms the unthinkable; that the girls are the victims of a terrifying kidnapping. And when a second text message pits the two families against each other for the life of their children, the clock starts ticking for D.I. Kim Stone and the squad. Seemingly outwitted at every turn, as they uncover a trail of bodies, Stone realizes that these ruthless killers might be the most deadly she has ever faced, and that their chances of bringing the girls home alive are getting smaller by the hour.... Untangling a dark web of secrets from the families' past might hold the key to solving this case. But can Kim stay alive long enough to do so? Or, will someone's child pay the ultimate price? The latest utterly addictive thriller from the number-one best seller Angela Marsons. Members Reviews: Best DI Kim Stone book so far Everything about this book was fantastic. The suspense was gripping, characters relatable, and style is wonderful. This book has been the most graphic of the series so far, some parts a bit disturbing, but perfect for the development of the story. If you a crime suspense junky, you shouldn't miss this one I love the curve balls! If you could sum up Lost Girls in three words, what would they be? Not always predictable! What did you like best about this story? I really like it when I can't guess where the story is going - Angela Marsons's book (all of them actually) offer refreshing cases and a team I love! Which character as performed by Jan Cramer was your favorite? I love DI Kim and her team - they are great together. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes!! All of her books make you want to do this. just okay I read the reviews and wanted to like this but I just couldn't get interested enough to enjoy it. I kept finding myself rewinding back several times because I couldn't remember what I just heard . I can't pinpoint it but it just didn't grab me , didn't make me want to know more. I did finish it but it was difficult. Even better than its 4.5 star average rating! British author Angels Marsons knows how to build suspense! This is novel #3 in the DI Kim Stone crime thriller series. Like the first 2 it earns a 5 star rating. The cases are about kidnappings of 9 year old girls. If you like crime thrillers, they do not get better than this series. English actress Jan Cramer narrates as she does with the outstanding Detective Erica Foster series by author Robert Bryndza. With fewer than 50 novels to her credit Jan Cramer is quickly becoming one of the best narrators. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Love this series and this book does NOT disappoint!! Such a good clever book. Harder content as it hits close to home with subject matter fears - and found myself bawling at times, especially at the end. However, totally love this book and as alway Jan Cramer you do a fantastic job!!

Three women who, in some way or another, know the meaning of betrayal.... For team leader Rachael Lambert, the project is the perfect opportunity to rebuild her confidence after a double betrayal by her lover and boss, Peter Kemp. Botanist Anne Preece, on the other hand, sees it as a chance to indulge in a little deception of her own. And then there is Grace Fulwell, a strange, uncommunicative young woman with plenty of her own secrets to hide.... When Rachael arrives at the cottage, however, she is horrified to discover the body of her friend Bella Furness. Bella, it appears, has committed suicide - a verdict Rachael finds impossible to accept. Only when the next death occurs does a fourth woman enter the picture - the unconventional Detective Inspector Vera Stanhope, who must piece together the truth from these women's tangled lives. Members Reviews: Worth the Wait I love this series. I'm pretty skeptical of a female detective novels because I feel like they all fill the same formula. But Vera has always been different. I enjoyed this story in particular because it allowed the main players in the narrative to be fully developed. I liked that we didn't get to hear Vera's voice until the climax. We've heard Vera's background story at nauseum in the earlier books so allowing her character to be a side player rather than the central figure was a refreshing way to progress the story. The plot was slightly unbelievable, but over all it was well worth the credit and kept me guessing until the end. Great Vera! I'm a big Vera fan but had never listened to this one. It's amazing. Well developed characters, proper number of red herrings, and intriguing plot. Loved it! The Beginning of Vera I'm an enthusiastic fan of British mysteries. My local PBS television station airs many of these shows and I watch all of them. That's where I discovered Vera Stanhope. She's a complex character. It took me some time to understand and appreciate her. Now I wouldn't want to miss any of the books in this series. This book was published in 1999, and I believe was the first of the Vera Stanhope stories. The characters are complex and well developed. The setting is unique. I didn't find the characters quite as compelling as characters in later books, and that's why I gave a 4 rating rather than a 5. Anne Dover's narration is excellent. If you enjoy Ann Cleeves writing don't hesitate to get this book. Not a proper mystery I dislike books where the writer holds back clues to the case and reveals them secretly to the detective only at the end. No reader could possibly figure out the killer because there are no clues in the story. All is revealed by a surprise witness to the detective 20 minutes from the end of the book and then revealed to the reader after the killer is caught 4 minutes prior to the end. Cleeves pulled the same trick in another recent novel that took place in a hotel on Harbour street. Vera' life is always interesting but as far as a mystery goes forget this one. Mike Dunn Love it Kept my interest all throughout the book. Would recommend the book looking forward. To the next

Title: Captive on the Fens Subtitle: DI Nikki Galena Series, Book 6 Author: Joy Ellis Narrator: Henrietta Meire Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 9 mins Language: English Release date: 09-12-17 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 141 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: A young woman's body is found in a remote barn on the Fens. Before she was killed, one of her fingers had been cut off. Who is inflicting this violence and why? The young woman in the barn had been kept captive for some time. And the case shows strong similarities to an unsolved murder in Derbyshire. When another woman is found alive with similar injuries, the case grows even more complicated. At the same time, the Fenland police have received intelligence that the ruthless criminal Freddy Carver plans to make Greenborough the hub for his new enterprise. DI Nikki Galena is desperate to track down Freddie Carver and make sure that he does not put down roots in the Fens, but finding him is not easy. And what's his connection to the kidnapped girls? Members Reviews: Author Joy Ellis never disappoints! Captive on the Fens, Book 5 in the Detective Inspector Nikki Galena series, was released in audio this week. I'm delighted to see that there have been six ratings prior to mine. There is now only one novel in the series yet to be released in audio.. This novel is a wonderful and unusual police procedural mystery. Henrietta Meire does a great job of narrating all of the On the Fens novels. I very highly recommend this series. The rest of this review is a discussion of the Fens. Having as a US citizen lived in England The Fens is one of the areas I found most interesting. The Fens , also called Fenlands, is a 1500 square mile area of the English North Sea coast approximately 50 miles northeast of London (it is about 20 miles north northeast of Cambridge). There are also references in Captive on the Fens to Fenland which is a 200 square mile political unit of the Fens located entirely in Cambridge County (Cambridgeshire). The Fens is part of 4 counties. Much of the Fens is below sea level and was flooded with every North Sea high tide prior to the first successful attempts in the early 19th century to use embankments to tame the high tides. River embankments are also used to prevent flooding. The Fens is approximately the same latitude as Amsterdam. The word fen comes from the designation of a specific type of marshland. The history of the area goes back to pre-Roman times. One of the most powerful installments ye Joy Ellis has written one of the most powerful installments yet. I highly recommend this this book and series. Another winner! Joy Ellis knows how to write a book! A series of books, in fact. This is another great story with Nikki and Joseph and the cast of characters on their team. While not my favorite in the series it's still a tense and villain-filled adventure. I see trouble ahead for Joseph though. Fabulous narration! I love these audiobooks but I wish we didn't have to wait so long for them. The best one yet! This was definitely the best book of the series, although I loved them all. Such wonderful complex characters who I've grown to love. I cannot wait for the next book in this series! Fantastic series I love the books, though my husband and I laugh when the characters puff out their cheeks, must be a British thing. Cant wait for the new book and we adore the narrator. She nails it!

Cemetery Dance Audiobook by Douglas Preston, Lincoln Child

Title: Cemetery Dance Author: Douglas Preston, Lincoln Child Narrator: Rene Auberjonois Format: Unabridged Length: 13 hrs and 25 mins Language: English Release date: 05-12-09 Publisher: Hachette Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 2540 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: Captain Hayward leads the official homocide investigation, while Pendergast, D'Agosta, and Nora undertake a private quest for the truth. Their serpentine journey takes them into a part of Manhattan they never imagined could exist: a secretive and deadly hotbed of Obeah, the West Indian Zombii cult of sorcery and magic. And it is here they find their true peril is just beginning. Members Reviews: Not for the faint of heart OR animal lovers I liked the beginning of this book, however the graphic nature and shear sadness of the animal cruelty really turned me off. Be forewarned some content is hard to take. Still a fan...but they struggled with this one. I pick up anything from Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child. I'm a fan, have read all their books, and am waiting for their next novel. That said, I couldn't help but feel Messrs. Preston and Child were struggling to pull all the loose strings together on this one toward the end. I guess it still worked. But, I couldn't say it's "up there" with their other works. Would I still have purchased it, knowing what I know? Yeah. But, then again, I'm a fan. Tedious Just awful. No shortage of adjectives and adverbs, but big shortage of compelling drama and action. It was trite and boring. I wish I had counted the number of times the words "shambling" and "pate" were repeated. I want my time back. Pendergast in Manhattan with Zombies Could it be faster paced? Possibly. Could it be less gorey? Probably. Could it be more "up beat"? Perhaps. But then, it wouldn't be Pendergast. Add Rene Auberjonois and his New Orleans Southern aristocrat accent and prepare yourself for listening at it's best. Haven't met Special Agent Pendergast? This is as good a place to start as any. You'll be glad you did. Here's a suggestion... Don't give away major plot elements in your reviews! It is very easy to write a review without ruining the book for others by giving away the major events. Please try to be more considerate of others who have yet to read the book.

Title: Luck and Judgement Subtitle: A DC Smith Investigation Series, Book 3 Author: Peter Grainger Narrator: Gildart Jackson Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 57 mins Language: English Release date: 11-08-16 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 741 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: When a worker goes missing from a North Sea gas platform, there seem to be just two possible explanations - it was a tragic accident or a suicide. It does not take Smith and his detectives long, however, to discover that James Bell led a double life back onshore in Kings Lake, a life complicated enough to make him at least one dangerous enemy. Before the case can be unraveled, Smith must get a new team working together; Waters and Murray are still there, but one of Wilson's men is transferred to him, and the female detective constable from Longmarsh poses some unexpected problems for her new sergeant. Together they begin to investigate the links between the companies and the people that bring ashore the oil and gas, and they also find themselves caught up in the seamier side of life that exists beneath Lake's everyday comings and goings. Jo Evison begins to delve more deeply into the story of the Andretti murders, and Smith himself has to face the fact that he might no longer be considered fit for duty. Members Reviews: An unexpected, very good series I am always on the lookout for British Crime Mysteries, so I bought the first of this series because it was the daily deal last week. So glad I did! I went on to read all three books. This has a very Midsommer Murders feel about it. The older inspector, Smith, is very likable and the supporting characters are intriguing. The stories appear predictable but there is always a nice twist toward the end of the book that makes it well worth reading. If you're looking for a good British detective series without the true crime gore, this is highly recommended. In Praise of a Truly Great Literary Work Luck and Judgement: A DC Smith Investigation Series, Book 3, by Peter Grainger, narrated by Gildart Jackson. This is an enthralling detective story, or set of stories if you consider the series of as continuing tale of sixty-year-old plus cop doing what he can to continue being what he has always been: a uniquely superior investigative sleuth. The books central theme is how to maintain the joie de vivre of life as one ages, and how to maintain oneself as relevant. It is a losing battle but lose can be ameliorated if we appreciate . . . lifes subtle rewards. The book is a compendium of those contemplations at the same time as it provides a thrilling search into what is likely a murder. Is this book any good. well, I stumbled upon the first book of the series, An Accidental Death, on the daily deal just as I had decided to read for the second time in my life War and Peace by Tolstoy. One of my favorite books of leaning. After not being able to put the first of the D.C. Smiths series down, I went through all three editions of the series in quick succession. Not until I read through these unique and enjoyable texts, did Tolstoy come back into my vision. In my earlier reviews of the preceding books in the series I explained there is always a philosophical bend to the story. The happenings are intriguing but they are metaphors for thinking about what makes life tick and what are our opportunities to get value from out life experiences and finally, how to consider those opportunities to give meaning to even the simplest of lives. One such discombobulation occurs in Luck and Judgment when our hero, D.C.

Loved the story but will never listen to this narrator again Not For Me What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you? a good story Has Vanishing Girls turned you off from other books in this genre? doubtful How did the narrator detract from the book? it was so slow - and the narrator was also - put it on 1.25 to try to carry on but still it bored me. What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment? disappointment for sure Any additional comments? I see this book got some good reviews. I have no idea why.

Title: Phantom Author: Jo Nesb Narrator: Robin Sachs Format: Unabridged Length: 16 hrs and 18 mins Language: English Release date: 10-02-12 Publisher: Random House Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 1060 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: Following from Jo Nesb's electrifying international best sellers The Snowman and The Leopard, now comes Phantom, which plunges the brilliant, deeply troubled, now former police officer Harry Hole into a full-tilt investigation on which his own tenuous future will come to depend. When Harry left Oslo again for Hong Kong - fleeing the traumas of life as a cop - he thought he was there for good. But then the unthinkable happened. The son of the woman he loved, lost, and still loves is arrested for murder: Oleg, the boy Harry helped raise but couldn't help deserting when he fled. Harry has come back to prove that Oleg is not a killer. Barred from rejoining the police force, he sets out on a solitary, increasingly dangerous investigation that takes him deep into the world of the most virulent drug to ever hit the streets of Oslo (and the careers of some of the city's highest officials), and into the maze of his own past, where he will find the wrenching truth that finally matters to Oleg, and to himself. Members Reviews: Darker and Darker From my review of 'The Bat': The Harry Hole character reminds me a little of Jesse Stone. He's definitely not your squeaky-clean hero. This series was recommended to me by someone who saw that I enjoyed Stieg Larsson's "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" and its sequels, and I'm grateful that he did. The summary is that it was worth the credit, but I'm not yet hooked and pining for the next book. I've purchased the next available audio book, number 3 in the series. We'll see how it goes. If I don't get a little more out of it, Harry may have to go on the shelf for a while. Keep in mind, when reading my opinions, that darkish detective fiction is not really my thing, so I don't have a lot to compare Nesbo's work. I thought it was solid believable fiction, and, like Larsson's, very well translated. It felt like it was written for native English speakers. In a number of parts, I was amazed see that the humor translates well. Someone did a great job. Sean Barrett's performance of the various accents was very good, but the voice of Harry never quite fit the character for me. Other reviewers have stated a preference for another reader as Harry, but as this is my first in the series, I can't say. Sometimes, when the reader of a series changes, the new one doesn't get a fair chance. We (fans) like of character's voices to stay the same. If you like the genre, give Harry a spin. You won't regret the credit, and may get to really like him. Review of 'Phantom': Well, I'm not at book 9 of the series. I find that I do prefer Robin Sach's narration, and I've come to think of him as Harry. As always, he does a very creditable job with 'Phantom.' My views on the series and the Harry character haven't changed. It's too dark for me. Each release in the series shows Harry giving in more and more to his personal demons - drugs, alcohol, and ruined relationships. I understand that there is trauma in real life, but real life usually has some ups and downs. Harry never seems that get off of his slippery-slope. In addition, I prefer my heroes to have redeeming values besides just a particular skill. The only consistent positive in Harry's life is his uncanny ability to solve crime.

And someone terrible from DS Joseph Easter's past is back. A man is found executed on a piece of wasteland in Greenborough town. The cold-blooded murder triggers terrible memories for DS Joseph Easter. Just when things seemed to be going well for DS Easter, he realizes that the nightmare is coming back, threatening his career, his sanity, and maybe his life. In a breath-taking conclusion, even Nikki begins to doubt DS Easter as he faces a race against time to save someone very close to him. Critic Reviews: "5/5...There just doesn't seem time to catch your breath through this book, there is just something happening all the way through it." (I Love Reading) Members Reviews: I really enjoy this series. The location is atmospheric and the methods of the crimes are unique. Love the characters and the narrator is great with voices and accents. Great Series This the second book that I have read in this series and I have found both books intriguing. I loved this! What is it about British police detective stories? Especially when the stories are set in small towns. The DI with a history of not working well with others finally was assigned a Sergeant in the last book. They actually got along. This book picks up after Ds Easter is injured in the line of duty. The characters are well written, dialogue is good, and the audiobook narration is wonderful. I kinda sorta had the ending figured out but then there was another twist. Delightfully wicked! I can't wait to read the next book. This is a great series. Another great book To say that this book had many twists and turns would be a great understatement. I thoroughly enjoyed this audiobook, both the author and the narrator were excellent, and I'm anxiously waiting for the next in the series. I highly recommend this series. Joy Ellis has a very interesting ability to write. Great British police procedural I enjoyed book one in the series and was impressed with Joy Ellis writing. Therefore, I gave book two a try. The story is set in Lincolnshire Fens. It is an area of open skies, marshes, farmland and nature reserves. It is a difficult area for the Fenland constabulary to police because of the distances and dangerous misty roads. Detective Nikki Galena and DS Joseph Easter are teamed up again. Nikkis neighbor had suddenly committed suicide, or maybe it was murder. Then a man is found executed near Greenborough are the two deaths related? DS Easter might have a stalker. Galena and team must solve the crimes to save DS Easters life and career. The book is well written. The plot is interesting and twists and turns allowing suspense to build to a surprising ending. Ellis continues to build the key characters in this story. She focuses on Easter and Nikkis boss. I am enjoying the setting of the book. The Fens sound so beautiful. This story is not as good as book one, but it is still enjoyable. Looking forward to the next book. It is about seven and half hours long. Henrietta Meire does a great job narrating the book. She also narrated book one.

Title: A Conspiracy of Faith Subtitle: Department Q, Book 3 Author: Jussi Adler-Olsen Narrator: Graeme Malcolm Format: Unabridged Length: 15 hrs and 27 mins Language: English Release date: 05-28-13 Publisher: Penguin Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 2236 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: The New York Times and internationally best-selling Danish crime writer Jussi Adler-Olsen returns with the third thriller in his exhilarating Department Q series. Detective Carl Mrck has received a bottle that holds an old and decayed message written in blood. It's a cry for help from two young brothers, tied and bound in a boathouse by the sea. After floating in the ocean for years before turning up, the bottle sat forgotten, unopened, on a police department windowsill, before the seal was cracked and the gruesome message, written in Danish, was analyzed. Could it be real? Who are these boys, and why weren't they reported missing? Could they possibly still be alive? Carl's investigation will force him to cross paths with a woman stuck in a desperate marriage: Her husband refuses to tell her where he goes, how long he will be away, what he does while he's gone - or even what he does for a living. Isolated after choosing him over family and friends, she waits for days on end, and when he returns she must endure his wants, his moods, his threats. But enough is enough. She will find out the truth, no matter the cost to him - or to herself. In this heart-pounding thriller, Carl and his colleagues Assad and Rose must use every resource available to uncover the horrifying truth set adrift in that bottle all those years ago. Members Reviews: Great Police Work, Clever and Witty Forgive me for being a bit redundant and repetitive with my reviews of the Dept Q series. Time won't permit me to give each book it's due... Dept Q is an underfunded department specializing in cold cases. The government has given it top priority, but the police chief gives it litte thought. The department is manned by 3 misfits. Carl Mork is the lead man, by far the best detective on the entire force, but he is also insubordinate, impossible to work with and impulsive. No one likes him or wants to work with him. So his chief puts him the newly formed Department Q. Assad is a real mystery figure. He's Syrian, speaks poor English, (this was translated from Norwegian.), and no one seems to know how he came to be employed at all. They don't have a personnel file on him, no one has ever seen the family he speaks of, and no one seems to know where he lives. Rose is another strange character. She works when she feels like it, is at least Morks equal with insubordination, she wears her emotions on her sleeve, and is just maybe a bit mentally ill. Carl Mork , Rose and Assad have a charisma and synergy that makes you want see them go at it for years to come. They are smart, resourceful, mysterious, ruthless and hilarious. I love the entire series. Jussi's Stories Just Get Better- Need More Dept Q! This is the 3rd Department Q and I have to say I just love these books and this one is the best so far. I love the characters and Assad has to be the most entertaining sidekick in all the mystery/thrillers I enjoyed in a long time. You can read the overview of the book to get the thrust of the story. I will tell you the pacing, narration and story keep you wanting more. This one is hard to stop listening too. How long do I have to wait for the next Department Q? I'm hooked! best so far What did you love best about A Conspiracy of Faith? This was the best of the three I have so far read - very little of the silliness that characterized the previous two.

Title: The Hanging Girl Subtitle: A Department Q Novel Author: Jussi Adler-Olsen Narrator: Graeme Malcolm Format: Unabridged Length: 15 hrs and 37 mins Language: English Release date: 09-08-15 Publisher: Penguin Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 1999 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: New York Times and internationally best-selling author Jussi Adler-Olsen returns with the sixth book in his exhilarating Department Q series, featuring Detective Carl Mrck and his enigmatic assistants, Assad and Rose. In the middle of his usual hard-won morning nap in the basement of police headquarters, Carl Mrck, head of Department Q, receives a call from a colleague working on the Danish island of Bornholm. Carl is dismissive when he realizes that a new case is being foisted on him, but a few hours later he receives some shocking news that leaves his headstrong assistant, Rose, more furious than usual. Carl has no choice but to lead Department Q into the tragic cold case of a vivacious 17-year-old girl who vanished from school, only to be found dead hanging high up in a tree. The investigation will take them from the remote island of Bornholm to a strange sun-worshipping cult, where Carl, Assad, Rose, and newcomer Gordon attempt to stop a string of new murders and a skilled manipulator who refuses to let anything - or anyone - get in the way. Members Reviews: Gasp! This is marvelous! Adler-Olsen's done something here that few successful genre authors do. Without leaving the scheme of his epic Department Q epic, he's created a complex cultural world to deftly explain an intriguing plot that whirls and twists like an Olympic high platform diver. And with equal daring. A story that ends with a last sentence that nails everything probably... completely probably. Graeme Malcolm has created the texture of the ensemble and leads it effortlessly through each snap and pop of this cerebral plot. It is the finest of the six Q novels I've read and a quantum leap beyond each of its predecessors. Take care.... begin this journey with "The Purity of Vengeance" since "The Hanging Girl" does not stand sensibly alone. Take each step before this striking leap. I've not yet experienced a series author take such a sharp bound this far into a narrative. What a risk! What an achievement. This book will haunt me. It is among the best of the genre. GASP! Department Q and a Great Mystery! You cant top it! The Department Q series is the most entertaining of any of the detective series on Audible. I still hold Nesbo's Hole series as the absolute best, but for fun, humor,and great mysteries Department Q is spectacular. Department Q was created by parliament to reopen and solve cold cases. However the police force used it as an opportunity to bury Carl Morck, a very talented, but equally obnoxious, narcissistic detective by having him head the department. They place him in a basement with almost complete anonymity, along with two or three mysterious outcasts. Rose is his antisocial, overbearing office manager/detective. Ahmad is his mysterious Syrian sidekick who has a weak grasp of the language, a mysterious background Carl has never been able to discover, and yet he has made himself indispensable To Department Q. The dialogue is quick and sharp, packed with subtle humor. This where the talents of narrator Graehem Malcom are best suited. I cant think of a better performance anywhere. The Hanging Girl is an intriguing mystery, a hugely entertaining addition to a remarkable series. Different kind of crime detective fiction What an enjoyable ride! A twenty year old crime is brought to the attention of Department Q.

People of Darkness Audiobook by Tony Hillerman

Title: People of Darkness Author: Tony Hillerman Narrator: George Guidall Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 2 mins Language: English Release date: 12-08-15 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 252 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: A dying man is murdered. A rich man's wife agrees to pay $3,000 for the return of a stolen box of rocks. A series of odd, inexplicable events is haunting Sergeant Jim Chee of the Navajo Tribal Police and drawing him alone into the Bad Country of the merciless Southwest, where nothing good can survive...including Chee. Because an assassin waits for him there, protecting a 30-year-old vision that greed has sired and blood has nourished. And only one man will walk away. Members Reviews: Chee to the Rescue Jim Chee, Navajo policeman assembles three disparate clues into a final ending that blow your sox off. Brilliant police work, exciting characters and a dash of New Mexico Navajo culture tossed in. Engrossing and interesting, well paced. Chee is on the cusp of a life decision, which does not get made in this book...maybe next time? This story is really dark, with flashes of light. This is a very good reading of Tony Hillerman's People of Darkness. It is both a simple story of a young Navajo tribal policeman, a simply told story of an assassin twisted by life, and a complicated story of an educated man's greed that resulted in the very nasty death of his allies. The plot is perfect, the murder weapon is amazing. I read this book years ago and I could not put it down then. Even knowing where the story goes as it twist its way through Jim Chee's search for harmony and the assassin's search for home, It is still so interesting that I listened almost without pause. An early reviewer noted that he didn't think Jim Chee, the young policeman is a coward. When he survives gunshot wounds inflicted by a professional killer, the gunman comes after him in the hospital. Even though his wounds have in no way begun to heal, suffering from the effects of the anesthetic, he finds away to avoid the being killed. Unfortunately the gunman is careful, he is not smart and shoots the unconscious man in the next bed. I think Chee suffers from survivor's guilt, not cowardice. This novel is pretty realistic, I suppose Chee could have overcome broken ribs and bloody holes, grabbed an IV pole and tried to duel a man with a large caliber gun, but I don't think any reader whose ever been attached to one of those things would have bought it. Although I do miss Joe Leaphorn in this book. Leaphorn and Chee are so very different and their differences are make them fascinating. Another success for Tony Hillerman Fascinating story intertwining Navajo beliefs with a mystery story. Characters are believable. The love of the land is clearly evident. DIDN'T THINK JIM CHEE WAS A COWARD What would have made People of Darkness better? By not portraying Jim Chee as a coward. Being Navajo, Dine, does not make one a total coward. So as not to give anything away, I would just say there was an excellent chance for Jim to do the right thing and the writer failed.

Sworn to Silence Audiobook by Linda Castillo

Title: Sworn to Silence Subtitle: A Thriller Author: Linda Castillo Narrator: Kathleen McInerney Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 43 mins Language: English Release date: 06-25-09 Publisher: Macmillan Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 759 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: Now the subject of the Lifetime original movie: An Amish Murder Some secrets are too terrible to reveal...Some crimes are too unspeakable to solve. In the sleepy rural town of Painters Mill, Ohio, the Amish and "English" residents have lived side by side for two centuries. But 16 years ago, a series of brutal murders shattered the peaceful farming community. In the aftermath of the violence, the town was left with a sense of fragility, a loss of innocence. Kate Burkholder, a young Amish girl, survived the terror of the Slaughterhouse Killer but came away from its brutality with the realization that she no longer belonged with the Amish. Now, a wealth of experience later, Kate has been asked to return to Painters Mill as Chief of Police. Her Amish roots and big city law enforcement background make her the perfect candidate. She's certain she's come to terms with her past - until the first body is discovered in a snowy field. Kate vows to stop the killer before he strikes again. But to do so, she must betray both her family and her Amish past - and expose a dark secret that could destroy her. Critic Reviews: "Deeply flawed characters in a distinctive setting make this a crackling good series opener, recommended for fans of T. Jefferson Parker and Robert Ellis, whose books take place in very un-Amish settings but who generate the same kind of chills and suspense." (Booklist) Members Reviews: I'm sorry..... I wanted to like it, but this story plays out like a bad made-for-tv movie...predictable.... (Sorry author)Worst narrator for THIS story ever,something else for her may be a better choice. If she says the word "inordinately" one more time...I may have an inordinately strong dislike for the story. Wish we could rate with 1/2 stars, for 2 1/2 stars is a more appropriate rating. Surprised me! I'm not a big fan of serial killer stories -- they tend to get boring and repetitious, not to mention unpleasantly over the top in terms of pain and gore. But in reading the blurb that described this book by Linda Castillo, something grabbed my attention -- not too sure what. In any event, I'm glad I bought it. It's different -- and very very good. There's some blood and guts, to be sure, but not much. Most of the story focuses on the Police Chief protagonist, Kate Burkholder. (Ever notice how many female cops, etc, are named 'Kate'?) And she is an interesting bird -- grew up Amish, speaking Pennsylvania Dutch, at age 18 she elected not to join the church, and set out to become a police officer instead. Now she's been hired back in her home community, where she's trying to serve as a bridge between the Amish and the "English", ie, everyone else. Tough job -- would be a tough job for everyone, but needless to say, having a female chief of police would be a big enough issue in the first place, let alone one thought to harbor the pacifist ideals of the Amish community. In addition to everything else, Kate has a hostile board to deal with, people who seem set on making her life as miserable as possible. (Been there, done that myself -- maybe that's why I identified with this protagonist.) Linda Castillo did an excellent job with this story -- really remarkable.

Certain Prey Audiobook by John Sandford

Title: Certain Prey Author: John Sandford Narrator: Richard Ferrone Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 44 mins Language: English Release date: 10-25-12 Publisher: Penguin Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 1179 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: Her name is Clara Rinker, a southern woman, trim, pleasant, attractive, and the best hit woman in the business. She isn't showy; she just goes quietly about her business, collects her money, and goes home. It's when she's hired for a job in Minnesota that things become complicated for her. A defense attorney wants a rival eliminated, and that's fine. But then a witness survives, the attorney starts acting weird, this big cop Davenport gets on her case, and loose ends begin popping up faster than on an unraveling sweater. Lucas has no idea of the toll the case is about to take on him. For of all the criminals he has hunted during his life, none has been as efficient or as ferociously intelligent as the one who is about to start hunting him, and none has known so well what his weak spots are...and how to penetrate them. Members Reviews: Loved every minute What a great book. Wild ride with crazy people and Oh, do I love the narrator. Richard Ferrone does a perfect job. He's so good I'd feel cheated if I had to read one of these instead of listening to him read it. Good as Lucas Davenport Gets You like it when John Sanford writes a Lucas Davenport novel? Then you'll like this tale of battling assassin babes. A tad less blood than usual, but the body per credit ratio is high. Richard Ferrone is Davenport... Nuff said. My all time favorite Davenport book! The bad girls in this book make it the best Davenport book. To be honest, I disliked Davenport and all the cops the most in this book. They played dirty in a way I have never seen. I read this series years ago and now I'm listening to the entire series again. Even this time around I still loved Clara Rinker and even crazy Carmel Loan. Meet Clara Rinker I love John Sandford's Prey books, especially the narrated versions because Richard Ferrone is awesome. One of the reasons I like this book because it introduces Clara, a complex and memorable character. The part about the story I don't care for is the woman who hired Clara. She was a real piece of work. She changed her mind all the time and I was disappointed that Clara went with her crazy ideas so often. Other than that, this is another case where Lucas Davenport goes after the killer with a vengeance. His stubbornness is classic in this book: he suspected the source of all this killing before others saw it. Worthy addition to the Prey series. A Wild Ride With Crazy People As the story developed, this story made me think of the "three stooges." I do like most of the Prey series, but this was not one of them. For me, the overall story line had great promise but it lost me early on, as it never really captured my attention and I lost interest. One reviewer described the story as a "wild ride with crazy people. " As I said, "kinda" amusing rather than a suspenseful drama. The publisher's summary gives a good description of the story, but in general it is about a female killer whose services are sought by a woman through a third party. One person in the triangle turns blackmailer and "it's on" from there. Some entertainment value started to happen when the killer is clearly on Davenport's radar and loose ends begin popping up all over the place. It was not for me....

Title: Persons of Interest Subtitle: DC Smith Investigation Series, Book 4 Author: Peter Grainger Narrator: Gildart Jackson Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 29 mins Language: English Release date: 06-14-17 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 371 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: In the peace and tranquility of the woods at Pinehills on a Saturday afternoon, a mobile phone begins to ring. The phone belongs to DC Smith, and it isn't unusual that the call is from Kings Lake Central police station; what is unusual is the fact that he seems to be the subject of an investigation rather than taking part in one. What can the links be between a prisoner's violent death in another county, the disappearance of two teenagers, and the highest profile case in Kings Lake for many years? As Smith and his team begin to untangle the threads, one thing becomes clear - they are dealing with some of the most dangerous people that they have yet encountered. Members Reviews: Enjoyable Visit to "DC"'s World I loved the first three books of this series. The main character is D.C. Smith - an older and much wiser police officer who shares his years of acquired knowledge of the job with younger co-workers. He's not a "tortured" soul, but he is still learning about life. He has no "demons", but is smart enough to know he doesn't have all the answers. He's an ordinary guy who is very good at his job. And also a pretty good guitar player. And I enjoy reading about his adventures. The pace in these books is steady. The stories are more about the people and the process than non-stop action. For me that makes the books much more interesting and enjoyable. Gildart Jackson's narration is flawless. Book 5 is scheduled for released on July 4th - I've reserved my copy. Well-crafted, complex & w/o nauseating brutality Exciting story. Detective experienced clever, humorous, reflective--no desperate broodiness. Action Intense, relationshups complicated. Engaging narration. Outstanding police procedural series! Brit Peter Grainger is the author of the wonderful 7 novel DC Smith Investigation series (Books 6 and 7 are not yet available in audio format). Persons of Interest, Book 4 in the series, is not quite as good as the first three, but it is very, very good. Smith is a detective sergeant who is retirement age but not yet retired. He does things his way and thus is not well liked by his peers and their bosses. The series has some humor. British comedic actor Gildart Jackson narrates beautifully. His voice and timing are perfect for the DC Smith series. The series is wonderful. I never tire of listening to the humor and insight of D.C. Smith as written by Mr. Grainger and read so well by Gildart Jackson. The perfect way to spend an evening with an old friend. I never want this series to end I can't get enough of DC Smith! I love these books, and these characters, and Grainger's writing, and Jackson's narration. Simply perfect. This starts at a prison. There's an interesting link to Smith that sets a whole mess of things in motion. In his inimitable way, Smith irritates some and inspires others as they work through a drug investigation and a kidnapping. Great stuff. And of course there's the interpersonal relationships among the team which I find to be a big part of this series. What decision will Chris make? Will Smith get along with the new RSCU people? Will he be recruited by them? And what about Jo? Grainger tells this story with the subtle humor that marks each book in this series.

Title: Rain Dogs Subtitle: Detective Sean Duffy, Book 5 Author: Adrian McKinty Narrator: Gerard Doyle Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 22 mins Language: English Release date: 03-08-16 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 1511 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: Winner of the 2017 Edgar Award Rain Dogs, a stunning installment in the Sean Duffy thriller series, following the Edgar Award-nominated Gun Street Girl, is "another standout in a superior series" (Booklist). It's just the same things over and again for Sean Duffy: riot duty, heartbreak, cases he can solve but never get to court. But what detective gets two locked-room mysteries in one career? When journalist Lily Bigelow is found dead in the courtyard of Carrickfergus castle, it looks like a suicide. Yet there are a few things that bother Duffy just enough to keep the case file open, which is how he finds out that Bigelow was working on a devastating investigation of corruption and abuse at the highest levels of power in the UK and beyond. And so Duffy has two impossible problems on his desk: Who killed Lily Bigelow? And what were they trying to hide? Critic Reviews: "McKinty expertly balances Duffy's tense and suspenseful investigation with the political tensions of the region." ( Publishers Review) "McKinty manages a second locked-room success...another standout in a superior series, combining terrific plotting with evocative historical detail." ( Booklist) "The tension between McKinty's competing love of tight, formal puzzles and loose, riffing dialogue is what makes the Duffy novels such a tremendous joy." ( The Guardian) Members Reviews: The Narrator IS the Story Detective Sean Duffy novels are good cop stuff set in an excellent backdrop ("The Troubles" in Ireland). Rain Dogs delivers all the gritty and humorous material we have come to expect from Adrian McKinty's erudite, but seemingly feckless (he's notit's a ruse), Detective Inspector Duffy. However, if you are this far along in the series you don't need a lecture on that What I want my fellow listeners to grock is that Gerard Doyle, our reader, is one of the top five narrators in the worldunbelievably enjoyable to hear in your earbuds and totally believable as he shifts characters (male or female). HIs Irish brogue, thick or thin, is classic BBC teletheater. This series is great, although when you begin your search click on the narrator's name first to see what he has to offer. Amazing stuff! With McKinty it's about the story! Adrian McKinty is one of the best story tellers of our time. In Rain Dogs he is at his very best. Gerard iDoyle is one of the best narrators. In Rain Dogs he is at his very best. This Detective Sean Duffy police procedural, Book 5 in the series, is set in 1987 during turbulent times in Northern Ireland. Among other things the story is about the apparent death by suicide of a journalist at a castle. If it is murder then there appears to be only on possible culprit. Duffy sets out to solve the mystery. This novel is as much about Sean Duffy's personal life as about the murder case. In telling this compelling story McKinty almost magically weaves the case and the personal together to where they are one. I believed that this series would end with five books. A twist at the end casts doubt on my assumption. Rain Dogs has mystery but little action or suspense. It is a great story well told. I VERY HIGHLY RECOMMEND Rain Dogs not just to mystery/thriller enthusiasts but to all who like a good story. Always a good story I'm never disappointed with Sean Duffy.

Title: Wicked Prey Author: John Sandford Narrator: Richard Ferrone Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 40 mins Language: English Release date: 05-12-09 Publisher: Penguin Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 1538 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: The Republicans are coming to St. Paul for their convention. 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. Chief among them is a crew of professional stick-up men who've spotted several lucrative opportunities, ranging from political moneymen with briefcases full of cash to that armored-car warehouse with the weakness in its security system. All that is headache enough for Lucas Davenport - but what's about to hit him is even worse. A while back, a stray bullet put a pimp and petty thief named Randy Whitcomb in a wheelchair, and ever since, the man has been nursing his grudge into a full head of psychotic steam. He blames Davenport for the bullet, but it's no fun just shooting him. That wouldn't be painful enough. Not when Davenport has a pretty 14-year-old adopted daughter that Whitcomb can target instead. And then there's the young man with the .50 caliber sniper rifle and the right-wing-crazy background, roaming through a city filled with the most powerful politicians on earth.... Members Reviews: Another winner for Davenport fans I have listened to many of the Davenport novels from Audible as well as Sandford's companion Flowers series. From reading prior reviews I expected to be a satisfied Sandford returning customer and I was not disappointed. This story moves along quickly and is not difficult to stay with as long as you don't try to remember all the details of each character (of which there are many, as other reviewers have pointed out). There are two weaknesses that I saw here, which I agree on with other negative reviewers. There is a lot of profanity and violence; for sure this is characteristic of the Davenport/Flowers novels and if you don't like that then you won't like this book. Second, and more importantly, the plot is a little thin ... this book is tied in very closely with the last Davenport and Flowers novels in the series and it almost feels like Sandford was trying to crank out as much as possible in as short a time as he could. I would have liked to seen a little more intricacy in the plot line. That said, though, I liked the book and would recommend it and purchase it again. No review of this book or the other Prey novels would be complete without mention of Richard Ferrone's narration. Ferrone's voice is perfect for these stories. He can portray the bad guys really eerily and gets the tough good guys nailed. His voice sounds like he's been gargling with gunpowder and it's perfect for these books. With this novel I found that I was looking forward to more Richard Ferrone as much as I was to more John Sandford and Lucas Davenport. Overall a great combination. In spite of some weaknesses, five stars. Not that wicked Two distinct subplots with little connection between them. One was excellent, the other was OK. Probably neither was enough for a complete novel, so ... But, I always enjoy Sandford's books, especially the Prey series. I 'prey' that he'll write more of them. HORRIBLE NARRATION I had to restart the 1st hr. Trying to keep track of the charaters and the plotline is challenging when EVERY charater sounds exactly the same. Very frustrating, I eventually quit trying. I did purchase at the discounted rate and I still wish I could get my $$$ back.

Title: Exhume Subtitle: Dr. Schwartzman, Book 1 Author: Danielle Girard Narrator: Shannon McManus Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 49 mins Language: English Release date: 10-01-16 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 672 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: Dr. Annabelle Schwartzman has finally found a place to belong. As the medical examiner for the San Francisco Police Department, working alongside homicide detective Hal Harris, she uncovers the tales the dead can't tell about their final moments. It is a job that gives her purpose - and a safe haven from her former life at the hands of an abusive husband. Although it's been seven years since she escaped that ordeal, she still checks over her shoulder to make sure no one is behind her. Schwartzman's latest case is deeply troubling: the victim bears an eerie resemblance to herself. What's more, a shocking piece of evidence suggests that the killer's business is far from over - and that Schwartzman may be in danger. In this pulse-pounding thriller from award-winning writer Danielle Girard, a woman must face her worst nightmare to catch a killer. Members Reviews: 3 Stars Mixed Feelings This book had so much promise but in the end failed to deliver! Concerning the trials and tribulations the main character encountered and how she - not to mention the huge cast of law enforcement- dealt with all of them. It felt like the author really wanted the reader to "be surprised", so she went haywire with plot twists, characters, conflict, etc. If she would've stayed focused like she did in the beginning, the book would've been much better. I mean the whole cancer thing? Completely irrelevant when the story was over. That was just one element of plenty that sent this book on a what felt like the "long way" rather than the more sensible "short cut". It just felt like a fresh author trying to pile on too many ideas. She had some great ideas like I rather liked the plot line of the hired actresses unknowingly committing crimes in the name of a "reality show", so why not focus on that? Overall, I don't necessarily regret having listened to the novel, but at the end of the week, I will have forgotten what it was about. Shannon McManus was good with the delivery of the story Did I actually PAY to hear this train wreck? What disappointed you about Exhume? Forensic and police procedural errors too numerous to count. I actually finished the book just to see how bad it could really get. Answer: Very. What was most disappointing about Danielle Girards story? The main character, who vacillated from cringing, hand-wringing incompetence to foolhardy acts of "bravery." sometimes within the same scene. Also, the overlong internal dialogues. And seriously, Bella, get a grip! Grow a set! A medical examiner can't think of a more effective anatomical spot to drive a pen into on an attacker than his upper arm? Really? What do you think the narrator could have done better? The narrator did about as well as she could with such material. Given that the main character is such a wimp, I guess we cannot fault the narrator for a whimpering delivery. If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Exhume? I would cut about 90% of the scenes where Bella thinks, "On the one hand I could do this and...no...no...something bad could happen. But on the other hand I could do a different thing and something even worse could happen.

Title: Hostage Author: Robert Crais Narrator: James Daniels Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 33 mins Language: English Release date: 05-20-08 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 1100 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: But Talley's pursuit of peaceful small-town life is about to change when three young men, fleeing the robbery of a mini-mart, invade a tightly secured home and take the family hostage. Plunged back into the high-pressure world that he has desperately been trying to put behind him, Talley finds his nightmare has barely begun, because this isn't just any house. It belongs to a brilliant white-collar criminal who launders money for L.A.'s renegade franchise of La Cosa Nostra. And the accountant's records of the incriminating money trail that lie within will put L.A.'s most lethal and volatile crime lord, Sonny Benza, behind bars. As Talley desperately tries to save the innocents inside, the full weight of Benza's wrath descends on him, putting Talley and his own family at risk. Soon, all involved are held hostage by the exigencies of fate and the only one capable of diffusing the crisis is the least stable of them all. Members Reviews: Wonderful clarity of plot and character Crais is a craftsman. He melds two parallel plots involving a variety of sharply drawn characters and twines them around a very cleanly conceived and delivered framework based on what seems at first to be a familiar hostage standoff. Along the way we learn a good deal about hostage negotiation techniques, but all the elements are integrated in a way which drives the tension and suspense nonstop to the end. I admire the clarity and detail this author brings to his situations and to the action. His descriptions seem effortless but provide the reader with an excellent sense of being there. There is not a lot of depth or ambiguity in this work, but it functions extremely well as a straight ahead suspense thriller. In addition James Daniels provides a fine, no nonsense rendering of the story and keeps us oriented during the frequent shifts of character and viewpoint. Listeners who are looking for Crais' Elvis Cole character should be advised that this book is not a part of that series. Really held my attention and interest When I started listening I was a little skeptical and thought I knew what the book would be about. Much to my delight, the author added more dimension than I expected and by the time I hit the second half of the book I was fully addicted. I will definitely look for other offerings by this author. Great Thriller, Wish I'd Read Before I saw Movie I saw the movie and loved the story, but that was years ago. i didnt realize this when i purchased the book. Right away the first chapters jogged my memory. its one of those instances where the movie stayed true to the book, It took alot of the suspense out of the experience. Nevertheless I enjoyed listening and feel certain you will too. The sherrif is the main character, a man who knows success, but is haunted by past tragedy and is fearful of responsibility under fire. Hence he takes a job in a posh, bedroom community where the worst crime is the occasional shop lifter. When an impulsive, poorly planned convenient store robbery goes wrong, life spirals out of control for the perpetrators, the sherrif, and the town itself. An easy 4 star listen. I have a new favorite author!! I really enjoyed this book--and highly recommend! It was well written, had a great, suspenseful story, and had the perfect narrator.

Title: Missing, Presumed Subtitle: A Novel Author: Susie Steiner Narrator: Juanita McMahon Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 57 mins Language: English Release date: 06-28-16 Publisher: Random House Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 1068 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: For listeners of Kate Atkinson and Tana French comes a pause-resisting literary mystery that brings to life the complex and wholly relatable Manon Bradshaw, a strong-willed detective assigned to a high-risk missing person case. At 39, Manon Bradshaw is a devoted and respected member of the Cambridgeshire police force, and though she loves her job, what she longs for is a personal life. Single and distant from her family, she wants a husband and children of her own. One night, after yet another disastrous Internet date, she turns on her police radio to help herself fall asleep - and receives an alert that sends her to a puzzling crime scene. Edith Hind - a beautiful graduate student at Cambridge University and daughter of the surgeon to the Royal Family - has been missing for nearly 24 hours. Her home offers few clues: a smattering of blood in the kitchen, her keys and phone left behind, the front door ajar but showing no signs of forced entry. Manon instantly knows that this case will be big - and that every second is crucial to finding Edith alive. The investigation starts with Edith's loved ones: her attentive boyfriend, her reserved best friend, her patrician parents. As the search widens and press coverage reaches a frenzied pitch, secrets begin to emerge about Edith's tangled love life and her erratic behavior leading up to her disappearance. With no clear leads, Manon summons every last bit of her skill and intuition to close the case, and what she discovers will have shocking consequences not just for Edith's family but for Manon herself. Suspenseful and keenly observed, Missing, Presumed is a brilliantly twisting novel of how we seek connection, grant forgiveness, and reveal the truth about who we are. Critic Reviews: "An extraordinarily assured police procedural in the tradition of Ruth Rendell and Elizabeth George." (Joseph Finder, author of The Fixer) "A vein of dark humor pulses beneath this compelling whodunit with an appealing, complicated heroine at its center." ( Publishers Weekly) "A highly charismatic and engaging story.... This novel stands out from the pack." ( Kirkus Reviews) Members Reviews: A mystery lover's treat! This is one of those books I couldn't put down, but didn't want it to end. I did read on Amazon that this author's next book is about this same character, which makes me feel a lot better - I don't want to say goodbye to her! I can't say enough good things about this book. The characters are real, and at times very funny. I laughed out loud a lot! They're also full of issues, longing, vulnerability, and they tend to kick themselves around a bit, especially the main character. The narration was superb. There are men's voices, women's voices, and children's voices, and everyone has a lovely British accent. With this book, the narration enhanced the story - which is often not the case with audiobooks. I haven't enjoyed narration so much since I finished "The Help" and "Angela's Ashes." This book is on a par with those written by Tana French and Robert Galbraith. I wait eagerly for their next books, and this author has been added to that list. Smart, Engaging Suspense with a dash of good humor What made the experience of listening to Missing, Presumed the most enjoyable? I loved this audiobook.

Title: Crash & Burn Author: Lisa Gardner Narrator: Christina Traister, Mikael Naramore Format: Unabridged Length: 13 hrs and 27 mins Language: English Release date: 02-03-15 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 2201 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: The number one New York Times best-selling author's latest stand-alone thriller, with a cameo by her fan-favorite character, Boston Detective D.D. Warren My name is Nicky Frank. Except, most likely, it isn't. Nicole Frank shouldn't have been able to survive the car accident, much less crawl up the steep ravine. Not in the dark, not in the rain, not with her injuries. But one thought allows her to defy the odds and flag down help: Vero. I'm looking for a little girl. I have to save her. Except, most likely, she doesn't exist. Sergeant Wyatt Foster is frustrated when even the search dogs can't find any trace of the mysterious missing child. Until Nicky's husband, Thomas, arrives with a host of shattering revelations: Nicole Frank suffers from a rare brain injury and the police shouldn't trust anything she says. My husband claims he'll do anything to save me. Except, most likely, he can't. Who is Nicky Frank, and what happened the night her car sailed off the road? Was it a random accident or something more sinister given the woman's lack of family and no close friends? The deeper Wyatt digs, the more concerned he becomes. Because it turns out, in the past few months, Nicky has suffered from more than one close accident. In fact, it would appear someone very much wants her dead. Members Reviews: Terrible! Not like most of Lisa Gardner's stuff. Story was all over the place and narration was not great. Don't waste your credit! Felt like I wasted my time I have enjoyed many of Lisa Gardner's books and pre-ordered this one. It was a chore to get through it. The male narrator was over the top and the characters not very likable. I did manage to listen to the whole thing but just felt disappointed in having wasted my time. There are so many other good books out there, this one isn't worth a credit. Sorry, Lisa Do Not Waste a Credit on this book Seldom do I write reviews as each reader has their own criteria for enjoying a book or not. However, this book was so bad, written with the same 4 lines over and over, that if I can save just one person from wasting a credit it will be worth it. The plot was slow, too many characters angry who never slept and an ending about as exciting as the dirt talked about incessantly in this story. The book has a proper name. It crashed as as a novel and could just be burned. Crash and Burn - excellent Very enjoyable!! Twists and turns, sad and happy, beginnings and ends. Psychology provoking to those interested in "thinking." Agree, terrible book No story here! Agree-don't waste a credit. Usually I really enjoy Lisa Gardner. Here, after many hours of boring meandering in this book, I quit!

Hunted on the Fens Audiobook by Joy Ellis

Title: Hunted on the Fens Subtitle: DI Nikki Galena Series, Book 3 Author: Joy Ellis Narrator: Henrietta Meire Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs Language: English Release date: 01-31-17 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 383 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: DI Nikki Galena faces her toughest challenge yet. Can she save her team and herself from a cruel and determined adversary who will stop at nothing to harm Nikki and her colleagues? First she must work out who wants revenge against her or one of her detectives. Full of twists and turns, this is a crime novel that will keep listeners riveted until the stunning ending. And what is the connection between the series of attacks on the police and the mystery of woman found dead in a seemingly impregnable locked room? Find out in this tense and exciting detective thriller. Members Reviews: A Page Turner This is the third book of the series. In what starts out as a classic mystery case, a dead woman is found in an impregnable locked room. Then the story takes a twist and someone is out to destroy Nikki and her team. Her team consists of Joseph, Cat, David and the boss is Inspector Bainbridge. Nikkis daughter, Hannah, has just died and Josephs daughter is tricked into showing up and is put into danger. It appears the enemy knows about each of their lives and how to hurt them the most. Just as I thought I had the case solved, the author makes an abrupt change and I am sent off in another direction. Needless to say, the ending is a surprise. The book is full of suspense, intrigue and enough twists and turns to keep the reader guessing. The characters are interesting and Ellis continues to develop them in each book. I can hardly wait for the next book in the series. The book is nine hours long. Henrietta Meire does an excellent job narrating the series. Riveting The best of the Fens series. Ellis just gets better and better. Can not wait for the next book Good characters, plot jumped the shark Yet again, I like the characters and find them engaging, but the plotting is so overblown and exaggerated. There are always baroque details and large-scale conspiracies and it just feels at odds with the bucolic setting. Not sure whether I'll continue reading these books. So many Characters First of all I really like the narrators voice however at times she speaks so fast that it is hard to understand. I feel like she is speed reading and with so many characters I tend to just space out. Sadly it does ruin the storyline. I felt like it was a race to the end. So many names I stopped even trying to figure out who they all were. Outstanding narration of a really good series This series is the first time I've heard the amazing narration of Henrietta Meire. She really brings the characters created by Joy Ellis into vibrant life. DI Nikki Galena and her partner Joseph Easter are two people who could scarcely be more different, but due to the good writing and narration, these detectives have a kind of dynamic fit that transcends their individual personalities. They genuinely complement each other--as does the team who all work together to solve multiple complex crimes. This book is very long, and at brief moments I felt overly long (the author very ambitiously put more suspects in, and kept doing so throughout the story, than I could at times keep up with). But it is somewhat of a page turner, so hard to pull away from. Best to just try to keep up! It works okay. And this particular episode has a lot of high tech focus in places, which is the way of crime novels these days I suppose.

Jar City Audiobook by Arnaldur Indridason

Title: Jar City Author: Arnaldur Indridason Narrator: George Guidall Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 33 mins Language: English Release date: 07-26-11 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 958 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: Gold Dagger Award winner Arnaldur Indridasons novels featuring Inspector Erlendur Sveinsson became international sensations on their way to selling millions of copies worldwide. The debut of morose detective Sveinsson finds the inspector and his team delving into the murder of a retiree with horrifying secrets. Critic Reviews: "[A] model puzzle presented with clarity and crisp economy. ( Kirkus) Members Reviews: Cerebral Police Procedural This is a very quiet novel, written mostly inside the head of the Lead Detective. The Detective is tired yet conscientious, has some excess baggage, but is nonetheless an exemplary officer. The beginning of the story offers an interesting lead-in to the story. It opens on a murder mystery, that has some strange clues that at first do not seem to fit the crime. The listener has immediate questions, and as the detective studies the crime scene, his discoveries provides atmosphere and some intrigue. Sadly, however, intrigue and suspense are what is lacking most in the Icelandic Mystery. The language, even as a translation, flows nicely throughout the entire linear storyline. But in the end, Jar City seemed to be more of a character study than a mystery, and as a result the climax was a little flat. A Very Good Beginning to a New Series What did you love best about Jar City? What a great story! It was moving and sad. I loved it. It reminded me very much of a Kurt Wallander novel by Henning Menkel. It has the same sense of isolation. It is alsom beautifully written and constructed. What was one of the most memorable moments of Jar City? The most memorable moment in the novel came to me at the end. When the detective is listening to the confession of the killer and the moments just after. Have you listened to any of George Guidalls other performances before? How does this one compare? George Guidall is my favorite narrator. His performances are always first rate. He brings such depth and character to his performances. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? I did not have any extreme reactions. I did love every minute of the novel. Any additional comments? If you like Henning Menkell's novels, you will like this. It is very plot driven. The characters, while not fully fleshed yet are believable. I also like the main detective. This is sometimes difficult in modern detective novels. Sound Mystery with good characters I almost stopped this book at the beginning as it starts harshly. I'm glad I kept going as the issue resolved itself. The plot is interesting and sufficiently tangled to hold interest but not so tangled as to be difficult to follow. I like the personality of police detective, Erlendur Sveinsson. There are details of Icelandic life and character that make the story come alive. I will listen to more books by this author. Great Icelandic police procedural Very enjoyable novel set in Iceland. Detective inspector Erlendur Sveinsson investigates the murder of an older recluse. The protagonist is 50ish, divorced and alienated from his 2 adult kids (at least one of whom is a drug addict.) The plot is interesting and the mystery (although not multi-level or unforeseeable) is intriguing. The novel could have been improved with increased character development of Erieindur's fellow detectives, Sigurdur Oli and Elinborg.

Title: Play Dead Subtitle: Elise Sandburg, Book 1 Author: Anne Frasier Narrator: Natalie Ross Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 44 mins Language: English Release date: 04-08-14 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 1790 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: No one is more familiar with Savannah's dark side than homicide detective and native resident Elise Sandburg. She's been haunted for years by her own mysterious past: She was abandoned as a baby in one of the city's ancient cemeteries, and its rumored that she is the illegitimate daughter of an infamous Savannah witch doctor. The local Gullah culture of voodoo and magic is one that few outsiders can understand, least of all Elises new partner. Now someone is terrorizing the city, creating real-life zombies by poisoning victims into a conscious paralysis that mimics death. As the chilling case unfolds, Elise is drawn back into the haunted past she's tried so hard to leave behind. Members Reviews: Fun listen Did not expect to enjoy a story steeped in the occult. Found it to be a lot of fun. Interesting characters. Narrator is excellent. Will try the next in the series Great story ... TERRIBLE narrator... Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not? I'm on the fence ... i had big issues with the narrator. How did the narrator detract from the book? I couldn't get past the incorrect sentence inflections and the sing song voice... UGH!!! where do I begin... Dear narrator: just read the book. The accents doesn't work if you can't do them. it's Georgia and one of the characters has a Louisiana creole accent. as for the book there was a lot of inconsistent details that were irritating. It was a hard finished mainly because I knew who the killer was midway through but mostly because of the inconsistencies. too bad because the idea held a lot of potential just poorly developed. Wow Great story. Mix of history, Savannah culture and mystery made this book unputdownable. The characters were so well developed and the narrator gave a performance that had me talking to them. I kept saying OMG. My family had to think I was crazy. Great read/ listen. Liked enough to get book #2 The puffer fish/voodoo/zombie thing is old but this book has some redeeming qualities. I enjoy that the main characters have flaws and emotional baggage. The chemistry between the two main detectives was slow to build but that made their final connection worth the wait. I wish the plot had more twists and that there could have been more humor, but what was absolutely stellar was Natalie Ross' narration. Excellent. Moving on to #2.

Stalker on the Fens Audiobook by Joy Ellis

Title: Stalker on the Fens Author: Joy Ellis Narrator: Henrietta Meire Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 12 mins Language: English Release date: 08-08-17 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 179 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: Detective Inspector Nikki Galena's close friend Helen Brook is involved in a serious accident where she is trapped in a collapsed cellar. After her hard-won recovery, Helen is still getting flashbacks to a man she says was down there with her and who confessed to a murder. But no trace of this man can be found. Then Helen tells Nikki that someone is watching her. But is all this in her friend's imagination and part of her post-traumatic stress? And why is Stephen Cox back in town? He's the villain who tore Nikki's life apart and he seems to have returned to wreak more chaos. Before long, the whole town is on the verge of hysteria and her friend's fear will lead Nikki and Joseph on a very dangerous trail. Full of twists and turns, this is a crime thriller that will keep you in suspense until its heart-stopping conclusion. Members Reviews: I love this English police procedural series! Stalker on the Fens is Book 5 in the DI Nikki Galena series. Like each of the prior four it is a wonderful suspense thriller this novel is special. The novels are set in the Fens which is an area on England's central east coast approximately 50 miles northeast of London. Detective inspector Nikki Galena is a marvelous protagonist. Narrator Henrietta Meire reads in the clipped English accent most common in the area. It can be a little difficult for Americans at first, but understanding comes quickly. Author Joy Ellis is a master of the police procedural genre. I highly recommend this series and this novel. The sixth audio novel in this seven novel series will be released in two weeks. The title is Captive on the Fens. It is currently available for pre-order at Audible, but is less expensively ordered through Amazon's Whispersync for Voice. Stalker on the Fens#4, Hunted#3, Shadow#2,Crime#1 This four book series -- Crime on the Fens, Shadow over the Fens, Hunted on the Fens and Stalke on the Fens -- is GREAT! And they nestle together beautifully, capturing the depth and growth of the characters as they go. Do start with the first (Crime on the Fens) and you will be hooked to learn more about what happens to DI Nikki Galena and her murder unit of detectives. The story lines are very, very good and the narration fits so perfectly with the locale of the story. Loved every minute of this entire series. I don't know about this I like the characters and location, but all the crimes in the series have been focused on the police, co-workers, family, and friends. I would like to see the characters working on a crime that is not personal. As for this story, I stopped with Helen needing her partner to "be there for her" along with outsiders getting into the mix. Here in the USA when you need to "be there" for someone, there is FMLA paperwork for the worker, the doctors, and approval from the company for that to happen. And it was annoying to see outsiders interfering in another couple's relationship. I might pick up the story and finish it, but I was not enjoying it. I didn't care who did it, why they did it, or why Helen was involved. I cancelled my pre-order for the next book. Tiresome I liked the first three books in this series, but now I am quite tired of these detectives and their close relatives and friends who are masters at getting themselves abducted, seriously injured or unable to defend themselves. The plot is now too tiresome.

Title: The Missing Girls Subtitle: Detective Robyn Carter Crime Thriller Series, Book 3 Author: Carol Wyer Narrator: Emma Newman Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 22 mins Language: English Release date: 09-14-17 Publisher: Bookouture Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 137 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: One girl found dead. Another girl gone.... Long shadows danced on the tin walls. Inside the trunk lay Carrie Miller, wrapped in plastic, arms folded across her ribcage, lips sealed tight forever.... When a girl's body is found at a Midlands storage unit, it is too decomposed for Detective Robyn Carter to read the signs left by the killer. No one knows the woman in blue who rented the unit; her hired van can't be traced. But as the leads run dry, another body is uncovered. This time the killer's distinctive mark is plain to see, and matching scratches on the first victim's skeleton make Robyn suspect she's searching for a serial killer. As Robyn closes in on the killer's shocking hunting ground, another girl goes missing, and this time it's someone close to her own heart. Robyn can't lose another loved one. Can she find the sickest individual she has ever faced, before it's too late? An utterly gripping and darkly compelling detective thriller that will have fans of Robert Dugoni, Angela Marsons, and James Patterson hooked from the very start. You will not guess the ending! Members Reviews: Twists and Turns Keep You on the Edge Couldn't put this one down. This was certainly a good listen even though it did take me a bit to get used to the narrator's accent (which I have to blame on my Southeastern USA upbringing). I definitely would recommend it to anyone who loves criminal suspense thrillers. I love this series! I really enjoy the character Robyn. The story keeps making me not want to stop listening and I am eager to get onto the next one. Definitely worth the listen. Loved this story Great story. I love DI Carter and her team. I also love that the book has a message about bullying. And the ending touched on something I thought about in book #2. Yay! I cant wait to read #4. Just when I thought I had it figured out... I was getting annoyed mid way through the book because I thought that I had the case figured out. A character was subtly introduced (which usually means that they are the killer) and I was thinking about cutting my losses. The story was great but I already knew how it would end. Surprisingly, there was a huge twist and I ended up being completely wrong. The book went from being completely predictable to wonderfully suspenseful and even more riveting. For those who have read all of the books in the series: get ready for a major cliffhanger in the last few minutes of the book. You'll be so excited for Book 4. December needs to hurry! Long I did not like this book. It wasnt because of the story but it was because of the story. It took forever for anything to happen. There is so much babbling that I would get lost in the conversation and forget where I was in the story. The premise of the story is obvious from the beginning. Its obvious that DI Robyn Carter is going to solve the case. It just takes way too long to get there Recommendation: Skip it

Title: Song of the Lion Author: Anne Hillerman Narrator: Christina Delaine Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 12 mins Language: English Release date: 04-11-17 Publisher: HarperAudio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 371 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: A deadly bombing takes Navajo Tribal cops Bernadette Manuelito, Jim Chee, and their mentor, the legendary Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn, back into the past to find a vengeful killer in this riveting Southwestern mystery from the best-selling author of Spider Woman's Daughter and Rock with Wings. When a car bomb kills a young man in the Shiprock High School parking lot, Officer Bernadette Manuelito discovers that the intended victim was a mediator for a multimillion-dollar development planned at the Grand Canyon. But what seems like an act of ecoterrorism turns out to be something far more nefarious and complex. Piecing together the clues, Bernadette and her husband, Sergeant Jim Chee, uncover a scheme to disrupt the negotiations and inflame tensions between the Hopi and Dine tribes. Retired Lieutenant Joe Leaphorn has seen just about everything in his long career. As the tribal police's investigation unfolds, he begins to suspect that the bombing may be linked to a cold case he handled years ago. As he, Bernadette, and Chee carefully pull away the layers behind the crime, they make a disturbing discovery: a meticulous and very patient killer with a long-simmering plan of revenge. Writing with a clarity and grace that is all her own, Anne Hillerman depicts the beauty and mystery of Navajo Country and the rituals, myths, and customs of its people in a mystery that builds on and complements the beloved best-selling mysteries of her acclaimed father, Tony Hillerman. Members Reviews: A Southwestern mystery story Anne Hillermans story features tribal police officer Bernadette Bernie Manuelito, who is married to Sgt. Jim Chee. Her mentor is Joe Leaphorn who is recovering from a head injury. Bernie attends a Shiprock High School basketball game while she is off duty. A car is bombed in the parking lot and Bernie is the first on scene. The car belongs to Aza Palmer, an attorney who is the official mediator between the Native American tribes, the environmentalists and a corporation who wants to build a resort on Navajo land near the Grand Canyon. Chee and Manuelito must solve the crime. The book is well written and researched. Anne Hillerman seems to be getting better with each book she writes. I enjoyed the information about the different tribal affiliates, language, and the conflict between the Navajo and Hopi. The author explains the various Navajo tribal myths and customs which to me makes the story far more interesting. I think most readers will have figured out who the perpetrator is before the end of the book. Somehow, that knowledge only increases the suspense to find out if you are correct and how will they be revealed in the story. I read this as an audiobook downloaded from Audible. The book is approximately ten hours long. Christina Delaine does a good job narrating the story. Delaine is a stage actress and voice over artist as well as an audiobook narrator. Better than no Chee at all I loved Tony Hillerman's stories with their Native American mysticism and wonderful characters. I don't think his daughter quite captures his inspired writing. Still, nice to visit with Jim Chee, Bernie Manuelito, Leaphorn & Louisa for a few hours. Good story. Bad narrator. Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? I loved Tony Hillerman's books, and I believe Anne Hillerman does an excellent job of carrying on her father's legacy.

But when the attacks spiral wide and any number of locations could be the next target, it will come down to a battle of wits and survival skills between Meg, Hawk, and the bomber they're tracking to rescue a nation from the brink of chaos. Members Reviews: Wonderful beginning to a new series Sara Driscoll has written a wonderful story to begin a new series. She has crafted great characters that are believable and likable. I look forward to the next installment in this series. "On The Hunt" Would you listen to Lone Wolf again? Why? This was an adventure and a start to a series, if author can make the chase more dramatic, and have our K-9 sweethearts be even more of the lead, and this is not easy to do. The 2 male leads will be interesting to watch. Our ace reporter, and our firefighter hunk. Both men are YUM in there own way. Check out Robert Crais's Suspect for a great K-9 experience. Who was your favorite character and why? Meg's male partner, Brian, and of course all the dogs. I love all those wet noses, and their big K-9 hearts. What does Angela Dawe bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Ms Dawe is a fave of mine, I own 100 of her reads, and purchased this author due to Ms Dawe as the reader. She has improved her pace, pauses, and cadences 100 %. She has a great male voice and lends character to minor roles. Check out Ann Wilson's Hover, fantastic! note: I do use the new 1.25x speed to match the author's intent. DRY Would you try another book from Sara Driscoll and/or Angela Dawe? No Has Lone Wolf turned you off from other books in this genre? No, have read other authors accounts of search and rescue K-9's and enjoyed them Any additional comments? I'll pass on this series. Just too dry. Character development was sketchy at best. Read like a S.O.P manual for dog handlers. Wonder Woman with a Dog. Good story story moves along fairly well, I'm a sucker for a book with dogs in it, especially search and rescue dogs. narrator does a good job. Good 1st book looking forward to next in series. good narration; love how distinct she was able to make the characters.

Jacqueline "Jack" Daniels of the Chicago Police Department is back, and once again she's up to her Armani in murder. Someone is sending Jack snuff videos. The victims are people she knows, and they share a common traitall were involved in one of Jack's previous cases. With her stalwart partner, Herb, hospitalized and unable to help, Jack follows a trail of death throughout the Midwest, on a collision course with the smartest and deadliest adversary she has ever known. During the chase, Jack jeopardizes her career, her love life, and her closest friends. She also comes to a startling realizationserial killers have families, and blood runs thick. Rusty Nail features more of the laugh-out-loud humor and crazy characters that saturated Whiskey Sour and Bloody Mary, without sacrificing the nail-biting thrills. This is Lt. Jack Daniels' third, and most exciting, adventure yet. Critic Reviews: "Konrath creates the perfect blend of pulse-pounding thrills, side-splitting humor." (David Ellis, author of In the Company of Liars) "Jack Daniels is a detective for the new millennium: sharply witty, deftly wry, and unabashedly cleve." (James Rollins, author of Black Order) Members Reviews: MY FAVORITE JACK. I LOVE THIS ONE. IT'S THE BEST IN THE SERIES FOR ME. I LOVE THE DETAILS AND THE EXACT THOUGHT PROCESS. IT WAS A CANT STOP LISTENING. BOUGHT THE BOOK TO SEND TO A FRIEND. YEAH JACK. Not for the squeamish This has to be the funnest and grossest book in the series. I was howling when the rat ate McGlade's favorite chopped off finger (middle one of course)! Do not buy the series if you are looking for a good mystery or true to life story line. These books are full of silly puns, unbelievable stories and will make you laugh and grossed out at the same time. Sample the narrators first,but I love the voices of Susie and Dick. I can't get enough of the series. Gorey Fun Rusty Nail is another great addition to the Jack Daniels Series. The book is a good mix of action and plot development but isnt for the faint of heart as it has a lot of gratuitous violence. The characters are interesting and fun and make for an interesting story (although I figured out who the killer was about half way through). The writing is good just make sure you dont read it over your morning cereal! Having two narrators is great and really helps bring the story to life. Both narrators do a superb job! Nasty Goodness!! The Series Just Gets Better! Where does Rusty Nail rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? Every book in the series is better than the last. The characters and their relationships continue to evolve. The plots keep you guessing until the end, I also like that Konrath doesn't add in too many new characters and I appreciate that. I find that some authors write too many new characters in and the book loses its cohesiveness. It can be confusing but Konrath keeps a laser focus on what matters. What was one of the most memorable moments of Rusty Nail? The cat of course, so great!! Also, the killer. I can't say more, I don't want to spoil anything. Which scene was your favorite? Any of the cat scenes were great! The final fight scene was also awesome! Oh yeah the cat was there too. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? I hate this question.

When she and her K-9 partner, Robo, get called to track a missing junior high student, they find the girl dead on Smoker's Hill behind the high school, and Mattie must head to the Walker home to break the bad news. But that's only the start of trouble in Timber Creek because soon another girl goes missing - and this time it's one of Cole's daughters. Knowing that each hour a child remains missing lessens the probability of finding her alive, Mattie and Robo lead the hunt while Cole and community volunteers join in to search everywhere, but to no avail. It seems that someone has snatched all trace of the Walker girl from their midst, including her scent. Grasping at straws, Mattie and Robo follow a phoned-in tip into the dense forest, where they hope to find a trace of the girl's scent and to rescue her alive. But when Robo does catch her scent, it leads them to information that challenges everything they thought they knew about the case. Mattie and Robo must rush to hunt down the kidnapper before they're too late in Hunting Hour, the third installment in critically acclaimed author Margaret Mizushima's exhilarating mystery series. Members Reviews: Fantastic K9 Series for any Dog or Horse Lover! This is one of my favorite K9 Series! I do not want to include any spoilers so rather than describing the Hunting Hour, which you can find elsewhere, I will address the series as a whole. All of the books are great and have my highest recommendation! The plots are realistic, the writing is good, the characters are well developed and likable, and the narration is wonderful. Hunting Hour is the 3rd book in the series. The characters have remained consistent, and each story has been narrated by Nancy Wu. I highly recommend reading the series in order. Each book is easy to follow, enjoyable to listen to and unfortunately goes by way too fast. I'm always so sad when I finish one of Mizushima's books and I find myself wishing she could write with super speed! The series is set in a small Colorado town. Each character has his or her own problems so nobody is to perfect to be unlikable or unbelievable. The series stars police K9 Robo and his police handler Maggie. Another consistent figure in the books is Cole, the local Veterinarian and his two daughters, Sofie and Angie. He has horses and often treats horses in his vet clinic so for any horse lover this will be a plus. Nancy Wu does a wonderful job narrating. Her voice is unique and at first I wasn't sure about it but after about 30 minutes into the first book I realized I love it. She can handle male and female character voices as well as children's voices. The quality of the recording is professional. I highly recommend listening to the entire series in the following order: 1. Killing Trail 2.Stalking Grounds 3. Hunting Hour Wow. I've listened to good books before, but never have I listened to one all in one day...I haven't done that since I was a kid, reading. Excellent character development, story, and delivery (Wu hoo!) I immediately downloaded another Mizushima book....but I'd better eat something before I turn it back on... Fair K9 book This book is fair, good I guess you can say. The performer leaves a lot to be desired.

Title: The Killing Room Subtitle: A Balzano & Byrne Novel Author: Richard Montanari Narrator: Scott Brick Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 25 mins Language: English Release date: 11-01-17 Publisher: Harper Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 51 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: Nothing will ever be the same again.... In the heart of Philadelphia's badlands, homicide detectives Byrne and Balzano are called out to a particularly chilling crime scene. Once the pillar of the neighborhood, an abandoned church has become a killing room. At first it looks like a random act of violence. But then a second body is found, and a third. Each crime scene more disturbing than the last, each murder more brutal. And it soon becomes horrifyingly clear that a cold, calculating, and terrifyingly precise mind is at work. With very few leads and a mastermind who always seems to be one step ahead, Byrne and Balzano are faced with challenges they could never have imagined as they race against time to hunt down their killer before it's too late.... Members Reviews: Byrne and Balzano book #6 - Finally!! This book starts off with Detective Jessica Balzano getting a phone call saying "One God. Seven churches. You will find the first of the dead at Amber and Cumberland. She thinks it's some kind of a hoax but has to investigate. When she arrives with Kevin Byrne they discover a man bound with barbed wire. Very shortly after, he dies. Kevin is now a big brother to a preteen (Gabriel) boy with no family. In an attempt to keep him free from the gangs responsible for his brother's death Byrne is recorded holding a gun to the forehead of the gang leader. The antagonist's identity is pretty clear from the beginning. Her abusive upbringing and eventual escape with a traveling evangelical ministry and her rape and pregnancy by the minister leave her with warped religious beliefs. The murders are all being committed in abandoned churches, again with very distorted reasoning. The story is not to figure out who it is but how it's solved. It's the workings of the Philadelphia PD and the machinations of a disturbed mind fitting together like puzzle pieces. I really enjoy Montanari's writing style. His books move along at a fast pace, his characters are very believable and fleshed out. You get a total picture of them both working and not and their inner thoughts and fears. Scott Brick does an outstanding job narrating (as always).i HIGHLY RECOMMENDED this book. If you found this review helpful please indicate so. Thank You. A dark and mystical suspense mystery The Killing Room is Book 6 in the 9 novel police procedural Detectives Jessica Balzano and Kevin Byrne series by Richard Montanori. The novels are set in Philadelphia. The release in audio this week of The Killing Room means the entire series is now available in audio format. The only other novel in the Balzano and Byrne series I have listened to is Book 8 titled The Doll Maker which I rated 5 stars. I have no issue with dark, psychological thrillers; indeed, I listen to many. However, I did not especially like The Killing Room even though the story is compelling at times. The mysticism, which is central to the story, in overbearing. Outstanding narration by Scott Brick is much better than the story deserves. Gripping Scott Brick once again is enthralling. I really enjoyed the storyline and the performance made it even more engrossing. Balzano and Byrne at their best! Oh my! It's hard to put into words what a fabulous book this was. Maybe the best of the series so far! I loved the extra insight into Kevin Byrne's psyche - a complicated but incredibly genuine human being.

Members Reviews: Meh I really hated narrator. Hated. The intonation of the narrator's sentences; how his volume dropped off at the end of every sentence even though not every sentence is *that* thrilling was incredibly obnoxious. I like the story. The author's descriptions are sometimes grotesque, but overall I enjoyed it. a great listen I'm a big fan of rickstad and the silent girls so I enjoyed this sequel. the narrator did a great job and I'm sure anyone would find this to be a captivating book to read or listen to. satisfying sequel I enjoyed the continuing story line and the tidying up that occurred. however I'm still wanting more, so I'm grateful it sounds like another book will be in the series! Thrilling suspense loved it. The suspense keeps you wanting more. wishing there were more to listen to

Can't wait for the next one. This is a reread definitely. Loved it!! Like an adult Nancy Drew series This series is shaping up like an adult Nancy Drew or Hardy Boys where wholesome characters solve mysteries. Thats not to say they havent been through some stuff: divorce and child abuse. But so far, they are on the other side and doing well. The Law of Economy of Characters dictates who the killer is here, but the K9 detection and veterinary care stuff is well-done and interesting. When you want a detective series thats not gruesome or course, features many strong female characters, and includes animals as integral to the action, this one is good. Bechdel test: Pass. Grade: B+ Master audible user Over 1000 books. First 5 star. This series is warm, harsh reality and fun.READ IT!!!! Still good This is the second book in the series. It's not as good as the first one but it's still a good story.

Title: Gun Street Girl Subtitle: Detective Sean Duffy, Book 4 Author: Adrian McKinty Narrator: Gerard Doyle Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 52 mins Language: English Release date: 03-03-15 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 1722 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: Belfast, 1985. Amid the Troubles, Detective Sean Duffy, a Catholic cop in the Protestant Royal Ulster Constabulary, struggles with burnout as he investigates a brutal double murder and suicide. Did Michael Kelly really shoot his parents at point-blank range and then jump off a nearby cliff? A suicide note points to this conclusion, but Duffy suspects even more sinister circumstances. He soon discovers that Kelly was present at a decadent Oxford party where a cabinet minister's daughter died of a heroin overdose, which may or may not have something to do with Kelly's subsequent death. New evidence leads elsewhere: gun runners, arms dealers, the British government, and a rogue American agent with a fake identity. Duffy thinks he's getting somewhere when agents from MI5 show up at his doorstep and try to recruit him, thus taking him off the investigation. Duffy is in it up to his neck, doggedly pursuing a case that may finally prove to be his undoing. Critic Reviews: "When it comes to Northern Irish crime fiction, Adrian McKinty forged the path the rest of us follow. The Sean Duffy series is the culmination of a career spent examining our darkest moments, and McKinty is the only crime writer who can do justice to our singular history." (Stuart Neville, author of The Final Silence) "Series fans will appreciate the further insight into the fallout from tragic cases, department politics, and war. As usual, there's plenty of entertaining territorial battling between the dizzying array of law-enforcement agencies acting in Belfast, and Duffy's investigative skills seem somehow sharpened by his lost hope." (Booklist, starred review) "Gerard Doyle gives a stunning narration of the fourth installment of McKinty's Detective Sean Duffy series.... From the subtle changes in dialect to McKinty's distinct writing cadence and dark humor, Doyle hones in on the details that make this procedural a joy to listen to." ( AudioFile) Members Reviews: Another McKinty Gem McKinty simply is one of the best writers out there today - of any kind. His prose is lyrical without any cloying ornamentation or sentimentality. He sets a firm noir tone that he brilliantly leavens with sharp observation, humor and well-defined, but not cardboard characters. But most of all, he tells a good story. It is well-paced and a continuing pleasure to read. The Gun Street Girl like the other books in this series is hard to put done. The real mystery with McKinty is why he is not more popular. Fantastic experience I had forgotten how much I enjoy McKinty's books read by Gerard Doyle. Highly recommended. Great series- can't wait for the next. Excellent. 15 Stars! Warning Though Is hope a business plan? Warning: This is the fourth chapter in the epic adventure of Ulster detective Sean Duffy. Each is powerfully terrific, but they are chronological, start with "The Cold, Cold Ground" and grow along with Sean. Now... "Gun Street Girl" is heartbreaking on so many levels. An Irish poet has written about today's Northern Ireland as "Reveling in the ordinary." Adrian McGinty moves us back into the 1980s Ulster where nothing, by our American/European standards, is ordinary.

Friends can kill you. Keira North falls to her death at a party. What initially seems like it could be an accident is soon revealed to be something far more sinister as Detectives Alex King and Chloe Lane are called in to investigate the secrets and lies that link a group of four friends. The detectives soon find that all of Keira's three closest friends have secrets that someone would kill to keep. As Alex and Chloe are fighting their own demons and struggling to stay on top of the case, Keira's killer is circling the group of friends, who one by one find that their lives are in danger.... The First One to Die is a heart-stopping and shocking detective thriller that will have you gripped until the very end. Perfect for fans of Patricia Gibney, Angela Marsons, and Val McDermid. Members Reviews: Fantastic narration and exciting story This is the second in a series following the dynamic duo of Alex and Chloe, I really enjoyed the first book The Girls in the Water and was eager to catch up with them again. I think one of the things that I love the most about this series is the fact that you have two strong women working as partners, its unique and Im all about the girl power! I also enjoyed diving deeper into their personal lives and finding out more about what motivates them and seeing what Alex in particular is dealing with in her personal life was heartbreaking and really helped to explain some of her behavior. The case theyre working is certainly intriguing, a group of friends seem to be harboring plenty of secrets and the further Alex and Chloe investigate, the more darkness they uncover. Though the list of suspects is on the smaller side I still couldnt pin down a culprit, Jenkins definitely plotted this one well and kept me guessing and then second guessing over and over again. I found this to be set at a quicker pace than the previous book and Im always down for a high speed, exciting story and this surely delivered. Villa was an amazing narrator, her nuances for expressing various emotions or different characters was outstanding. Im always enraptured by listening to someone with an accent and I swear Bookouture has the BEST narrators around, every single one of their audiobooks has a fantastic narrator as well as a fantastic story, so if youre a fan of audiobooks I can highly recommend them! Really very enjoyable! This was really good. Quite long and a couple of plot holes, but overall I really enjoyed it!

Title: Evan Help Us Author: Rhys Bowen Narrator: Roger Clark Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 51 mins Language: English Release date: 01-17-17 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 526 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: Evan Evans is settling into his role as Constable of Llanfair, a small town nestled in the mountains of North Wales. Here, he has been a mediator of the minor disputes of the locals, between competing ministers, country merchants, and seemingly every Welch eccentric throughout the region. But an unusual series of events brings unseen hostilities to light, and Evan realizes just how deep the townsfolk's passions and hostilities lie. While the village of Llanfair has always been at odds with the neighboring town of Beddgelert, an intriguing archeological find in the nearby hills brings that rivalry to dangerous extremes, and creates a circus of local enthusiasm and gossip. The circus quickly turns deadly, however, when Llanfair's prodigal son, Ted Morgan, announces plans to erect an amusement park over the site's excavation. Soon, Constable Evans is drawn into a whirl of cultural pride, deception, and greed, and while he's at it uncovers the town's undaunted ambition - to earn the right to the longest name in the world. With the warmth, charm, and wry sense of humor that won listeners' hearts in Evans Above, Rhys Bowen offers a delightful new installment to an already cherished mystery series: Evan Help Us. Members Reviews: Engaging story Great pace, kept me interested and guessing the entire way. I've been waiting for the audios to come out for this series for a while now and rewarded for my patience, definitely not a disappointment. Great job, Ms. Bowen! Better than I remembered! I read this series years ago and for a long time Audible only had one of the books available. Finally, they are catching up and adding other books in the series. This is a great series with interesting characters and plenty of twists and turns in the mystery. The descriptions of Wales and the village life make me want to visit. I really enjoyed the narrator and was delighted to find the story to be even better than I remembered it to be. A Welsh tale in a Welsh town. Evan help us is a slow scenic drive through the Welsh countryside on a bright Sunday afternoon. Very slow and sedate trip through a very typical Welsh town that is interrupted by a few grizzly murders, just enough to prevent things from becoming too dull in a sleepy little village. I often pictured myself traveling along a narrow windy lane while listening to this slow paced murder mystery and enjoying the views of snow-capped mountains and green valleys. The book is very well written and the characters charming and quirky, hardly the backdrop for a tense, edge-of-your-seat thrill ride hunting for a multiple murderer. I enjoyed the book but found myself fighting to stay awake as the narrator, who was deliciously Welsh, lulled me into a peaceful sleep. People who would enjoy this book: Neat-nicks, who like their murders as clean as their floors. People who wouldn't like this book: Action junkies and anyone who drives over 45 on the highway. AUDIBLE 20 REVIEW SWEEPSTAKES ENTRY Evan Help Us Great story! My husband and I listened to this book when we ate our breakfast. This was a great way to start our day because we could think about what would happen next, and talk about the plot. This is a clean story, nothing vulgar in language or scenes. We are ready to share listening to the next book! The narrator does a fantastic job. Hooked! What did you love best about Evan Help Us? Another great story from Rhys Bowen.

Police Chief Aggie Malone is facing her first Christmas as a married woman, and hoping for a relatively uneventful holiday in the quiet Gulf Coast community of Dogleg Island where she, along with her perspicacious border collie Flash, is in charge of keeping the peace. She is still trying to find her place in the big, boisterous Grady family, but unlike Flash - and her own husband, Deputy Sheriff Ryan Grady - Aggie does not see the appeal of the holiday, and the magic of the season is completely lost on her. The old-fashioned Christmas Grady has planned for his bride begins to unravel when Aggie's investigation into a homicide hit-and-run leads to the arrest of her own brother-in-law and exposes a crime syndicate that's responsible for spreading millions in counterfeit bills throughout the southeast. A police informant turns up dead, and evidence suggests his murder may be the result of corruption at the highest levels of law enforcement. Flash, who is an expert at putting things together, understands that all these pieces of the puzzle are related, and with Aggie's help they'll soon be able to see the big picture. But not even Flash can foresee the demons their search for the truth will unearth. When the shadows from the past reach forward to cloud their future, Aggie, Grady, and Flash find the limits of their loyalty tested, even as they discover the lengths to which they will go to protect the ones they love.

Title: Friday on My Mind Subtitle: A Frieda Klein Mystery Author: Nicci French Narrator: Beth Chalmers Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 39 mins Language: English Release date: 10-04-16 Publisher: Penguin Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 303 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: In Nicci French's thrilling fifth book, London psychotherapist Frieda Klein herself becomes the prime suspect in a murder. A bloated corpse turns up in the Thames, throat slashed, and the only clue is a hospital wristband reading "Dr. F. Klein". Frieda is taken to see the body and realizes with horror that it is Sandy, her ex-boyfriend. She's certain that the killer is Dean Reeve - the man who has never stopped haunting her. But the police think he has been dead for years, and Frieda is their number one suspect. With few options, Frieda goes on the run to save herself and try to uncover the truth. Members Reviews: Not buying the setup As revealed in the blurb, Frieda is suspected of murder and has gone on the run to find the real murderer. I am not buying the setup. The case against her is so weak, it is preposterous that the cops would arrest her and stop looking for anybody else. Always welcome, but getting a little stale The hook of the mysterious killer/protector who haunts Frieda Klein is getting a bit stale. For goodness sake, it's been years, yet he's still out there, and Frieda still doesn't know where he is, and the police never seem to catch him, even though he has killed multiple times for Frieda. And they still don't believe her. Yet, given all that, the characterisations are strong. The pace is excellent, and one just can't stop listening. Frieda, herself, is a masterful and memorable character. awful, just awful how did i finish it? with great trouble not wanting to waste the money. wish i'd moved on. awful, just awful. The best so far in a great series! What did you love best about Friday on My Mind? Twists and turns galore. What did you like best about this story? The psychological insight into human behavior. Frieda is maddening sometimes but always fascinating. All the characters are well defined. They are people I'd like to know. Any additional comments? I'm totally hooked on this series. Can't wait for the next book. Flawed reader; very good story I really enjoy this series by Nicci French. It has a nice mix of psychology and crime. I don't, however, like the narrator. For the first time in a very long experience with Audible, I have had to reduce the speed of narration to avoid a very shrill voice. I also find too little differentiation between female voices. Male voices are lower than female, so one can tell men from women, but again, except for accented voices, it is very hard to tell one from another. I don't understand either why Audible doesn't have the Saturday book. If anyone knows, I'd be grateful if they explained it.

There's also an added bonus of Nowhere to Hide, a Pine Hills Police spinoff, featuring Colleen McDonald, first introduced in Finding Sarah. Join Randy and Sarah, Scott and Ashley, and Graham and Colleen as they solve crimes and fall in love. Members Reviews: What a great group of novels. I thoroughly enjoyed this series of novels. Well written and well narrated. I couldn't wait to listen and wished there were more now that I have finished them. Good stories. Enjoyed the crime part I really enjoyed the crime and mystery and Randy, but Sarah was such a selfish person I wanted to slap her. Got halfway through the second book and couldnt stand her petulance any longer. I sincerely hope Randy kicked her to the curb and lived happily ever after. Not to be recommended. Great Disappointment I think this is the Noddy and Big Ears of crime fiction. The story was bland and predictable and the love interest and dialogue were just cringeworthy. I purchased this as a 4 book offer - I managed to complete the first book - just to see if there was any improvement as the book progressed. There wasn't. I cannot read the following books.

Until Proven Guilty Audiobook by J. A. Jance

Jance Narrator: Gene Engene Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 14 mins Language: English Release date: 02-09-11 Publisher: Books in Motion Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 474 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: Lurking in the dark corners of J. P. Beaumont's bizarre case was not just a demented mind obsessed with murder, but secrets so deadly that even a street-tough cop could die guessing. Members Reviews: Until proven guilty This is book one in the Beaumont series. I have read some of the newer books in the series, so it was great to read the first book. It answers a number of questions about people that were briefly mention in passing in the new books such as Ann, and how Beaumont got his money. This book had more sex than the usual Jance novel I am glad she toned that down in the newer books. Liked the description of Seattle it like a mini trip to the city. Over all enjoyed the book now I will look for number two in the series. Not Jance's best The first Jance-Beaumont that I read was "A more perfect union". I liked it well enough to try another. "Until proven guilty" is book 1 of the series. I didn't much like it. I thought the book was supposed to be about a young girl's murder and about Beaumont's efforts to solve it. Not about romance. Unfortunately the balance was badly off, with more romance than detection. That's one reason why I didn't like it. Looking back, I wonder if Beaumont did any detection at all. Did he find a clue? Did he make a great analysis? I must say that, if this had been my first Beaumont, the detective would have come across as a bit of a bungler. That's another reason for my poor opinion of the book. As for the person who murdered the young girl: well, this individual didn't seem to exist. This person's character development was zero. As a reader I ended up not getting involved in the book, and this decreased my enjoyment. That's reason number three. So should you buy this book? Well, if you like mysteries, the answer is no. If you like romance, the answer is no. If you are a great Jance fan, and want to know how it all started, the answer is yes. Many reviewers have criticized the performer, but I really thought he was good. As I said, I didn't like Until proven guilty. However, I presume this is one of her early books, so I guess I could cut her a little slack. Yes, I will try another Jance. Fiction yes, ridiculous, yes. I admit I have not read the JP Beaumont book series in chronological order, having read four other books before the first one: Until Proven Guilty. The other books alluded to the tragic backstory of Beaumont's relationship with Anne Corley, all of which is told in Until Proven Guilty. This turns out to be my least favorite of the books so far, and it's a good thing this is fiction because it strains anyone's ability to believe something like this story could ever happen. Without putting in spoilers, let me say that the Anne Corley that Beau fell in love with was a well-drawn character, beautiful, intelligent, courageous, charming, wise, gentle and passionate. She made a fine match for Beaumont and the story worked right up until the time she became "the other Anne". I do not think "the other Anne" could have co-existed in the same person with the one fleshed out in the first 9/10 of this book, certainly without revealing herself many times over. The few feeble "hints" J.A. Jance laid down for the reader in no way raised any suspicion of what was supposed to be there.

Title: The Assassin Subtitle: An Isaac Bell Adventure, Book 8 Author: Clive Cussler, Justin Scott Narrator: Scott Brick Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 41 mins Language: English Release date: 03-03-15 Publisher: Penguin Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 1806 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: The new thriller in the number one New York Times best-selling Isaac Bell series from grand master of adventure Clive Cussler. As Van Dorn private detective Isaac Bell strives to land a government contract to investigate John D. Rockefeller's Standard Oil monopoly, the case takes a deadly turn. A sniper begins murdering opponents of Standard Oil, and soon the assassin - shooting with extraordinary accuracy at seemingly impossible long range - kills Bell's best witness, a brave and likable man. Then the shooter detonates a terrible explosion that sets the victim's independent refinery ablaze. Bell summons his best detectives to scour the site of the crime for evidence. Who is the assassin and for whom did he kill? But the murders - shootings, poisonings, staged accidents - have just begun as Bell tracks his phantom-like criminal adversary from the "oil fever" regions of Kansas and Texas to Washington, D.C., to the tycoons' enclave of New York, to Russia's war-torn Baku oil fields on the Caspian Sea, and back to America for a final, desperate confrontation. And this one will be the most explosive of all. Members Reviews: Great story, timeline a bit confusing This is a step up on the last Isaac Bell story. The character is "back" in form but that's in quotes because this story takes place prior to one of the early Bell stories where he meets his future wife during the San Francisco earthquake of April 1906. Maybe I missed a part where it was clearly stated that this was an earlier story, but I was confused through a good part of the audiobook because of Bell's behaviour. I wish I had caught on earlier, I would probably have enjoyed the book even more. Characters are solid, and the plot has some nice twists although the trip to Russia still doesn't seem to have been really necessary to the story. After reading Cussler for so long, I can almost feel where his work steps off and Mr. Scott's work steps up. That said, I recommend the book. A Review of the Novel "The Assassin" This is the current novel in the series about Issac Bell's adventures. "The Assassin" held my interest. Scott Brick continued as the narrator and gave his usual good performance. The Assassin" is a stand-alone novel that can provide an enjoyable read or listen. I would recommend it. Continued success Another well written and read story, you will not want to put it down when you hit the last 100 pages! Hold on, take a deep breath and enjoy the hell out of it! It's a keeper It's a keeper, good narrator Good story , plot was intriguing and surprising ending . Looking forward to next book thank you . John K The best Isaac Bell adventure yet!! This one has Isaac Bell protecting the life of John D Rockefeller. Just get it and have Scott Brick narrate the novel for you!

Title: The Night Crew Author: Brian Haig Narrator: Christopher Lane Format: Unabridged Length: 13 hrs and 27 mins Language: English Release date: 03-10-15 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 938 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: Lieutenant Colonel Sean Drummond, a cocky US Army lawyer who's not afraid to be blunt, finds himself up to his neck in a case he didn't ask to take. Five US soldiers, tasked with guarding Iraqi prisoners, stand accused of committing depraved atrocities against their charges. Drummond is assigned to defend one of them: a hardscrabble young woman who is either incredibly naive or deceptively evil...and whose incriminating photos made the case an international scandal. Drummond and his cocounsel, the fiercely antiwar Katherine Carlson, have a complicated and combative history, but they can't afford to get distracted now. They must determine what drove five young patriots to fall so far to the dark side of human nature. As Drummond uncovers evidence that his client has been used as a pawn in a secret strategy involving torture, he realizes he's caught up in a conspiracy that reaches the highest levels of government. Breaking down the US military's formidable stonewalling could destabilize the government and put his life at risk - but Drummond's not the type to back away from a good fight. Members Reviews: I have missed Brian Haig! Glad to have him back... What made the experience of listening to The Night Crew the most enjoyable? Brian Haig is such a talented author. His books are so indepth, multifaceted and detail oriented. His books may not always adhere to the comfort level of the masses but his subject plots are realistic and very believable. What does Christopher Lane bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? I thought Christopher Lane did a fine job. I prefer Scott Brick for Mr. Haig's books but I thought this narrator did a good job. Any additional comments? I have missed this author so much and periodically check his name to see if he has written anything new, always disappointed when there is nothing. This was such a total surprise and I am so glad I found it. I hope that he will be writing again with more frequency. This book touches on some very taboo subjects including incest, torture of prisoners (like what happened at Guantanamo) with some variations. There is also some unrequited love, deviant behavior and murder (and boy does the ending knock your socks off!!). This is one ending I did not see coming. If you have read/listened to any of the Drummond books in the past this one will certainly be a surprise. If you haven't listened to this series before this still makes a fantastic stand alone. Bravo Brian Haig! Can you PLEASE write another one soon? Just a note: If you haven't read The Hunted you are really missing a well written extraordinary story that is based on a true story that is so bizarre it read like fiction. One of the best books I have ever read. An intelligent and well written novel I listened to some of Brian Haig's earlier novels a few years ago and enjoyed them. In the intervening years I listened to or read a number of other espionage, detective, and military novels, but what struck me about this novel, and Haig's work in general, is how sophisticated and intelligent they are. They are not mind candy or diversions from reality; there is no clear right or wrong, but shades of grey and the messy business of reality. Haig doesn't rant like some authors (Thor's recent work for example) yet subtlety illustrates for the reader/listener his point. Much more sophisticated and engaging.

The Silent Room Audiobook by Mari Hannah

Title: The Silent Room Author: Mari Hannah Narrator: Tim Bruce Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 49 mins Language: English Release date: 01-16-18 Publisher: Macmillan Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: One fugitive. A deadly plot. No rules. Thus begins an ingenious and lightning-fast audiobook thriller that reviewers agree is "not to be missed." Detective Sergeant Matthew Ryan wants to clear the name of his former boss, who stands accused of official corruption. But before he can do so, his boss disappears. Did he escape from police custody, or was he kidnapped? Or did something even worse happen to him? The Silent Room has everything a good thriller should have - compelling characters, a gripping plot and storyline, superb pacing, and a strong sense of place. In addition it has heart, something many thrillers sorely lack. Add some truly scary villains, vast uncertainty about whom to trust, and a loudly ticking clock, and we have ourselves a thriller that will grip listeners from the first chapter and never let go. Critic Reviews: "The explosive opening of The Silent Room introduces a gripping thriller with a very human face. Nobody understands the many faces of cops better than Mari Hannah." (Val McDermid) "Very creepy. Read it on your commute, and you'll be looking over your shoulder all the way home." ( Marie Claire) "I was annoyed every time I was forced to put the book down and do mundane yet necessary stuff like eat or sleep." (Yrsa Sigurardóttir, author of Last Rituals) Members Reviews: A really tense, enjoyable crime thriller This is a belter of a crime thriller. One of those books where Iâm all agog at the brilliance of it all. A security van with a disgraced Special Branch officer Jack Fenwick in the back is hijacked by armed men. The prisoner is taken. His close friend and colleague DS Matt Ryan is suspended from duty and under suspicion of being complicit in the escape. Action packed right from the start and gripped me from the front page. Couldnât look away in case I missed something! After the prisoner abduction or escape depending on who believes which scenario, weâre off on the journey alongside DS Ryan, an old retired Special Branch colleague of his Grace Ellis, a spook associate of hers Frank Newman to try to first find Frank and discover who is holding him and why. Some shocking parts of the book I really didnât want to happen and I was shouting out âNo, noâ, but happen they did and the consequences were devastating. DCI Eloise OâNeill and her not very likeable colleague DS Maguire from the police professional standards unit are also investigating the case and are not so convinced of the abducted prisonerâs innocence. Thereâs a Scandinavian connection and at times this is Northumbrian Noir meets Nordic Svart (I looked that up) Now and then I have a thought that I might have a go as a crime fiction writer. I can visualise the headlines âGrandmother of five starts writing successful crime fiction novels in her sixtiesâ, then I read books like this and think âHa, who am I kiddingâ Think Iâll stick to reading and enjoying them and this one was a very enjoyable read and the first one in a new series I hope. A thriller with a police detective and a world-shaking conspiracy A policeman has been arrested and charged, and on his way to prison, Jack Fenwick is abducted. His friend and partner Detective Lieutenant Matthew Ryan refuses to accept that Jack is a dirty cop and insists that he was not a party to the abduction, but is instead in grave danger.

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 9 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: This debut mystery from a fresh voice in Southwestern fiction stakes out the common ground between Tony Hillerman, Elmore Leonard, and Cormac McCarthy. In a remote corner of the Chickasaw Nation, tribal Lighthorse policeman Bill Maytubby and county deputy Hannah Bond discover the buzzard-ravaged body of Majesty Tate, a young drifter with a blank past. They comb Oklahoma's rock prairie, river bottoms, and hard-bitten small towns for traces of her last days. Tate was seen dancing with Austin Love, a violent local meth dealer fresh out of prison. An Oklahoma City motel clerk connects her with an aspiring politician. An oil-patch roustabout and a shady itinerant preacher provide dubious leads. Ne'er-do-wells start dying off. A fluke lead propels Maytubby deep into Louisiana's bayou country, where a Cajun shrimper puts him on the scent of a bizarre conspiracy. He and Bond reunite in the Chickasaw Nation for the eventual face-off at Nail's Crossing. Members Reviews: Confusing I hoped to enjoy learning more about Oklahoma and the culture along with reading a good murder mystery. I had to seriously focus on who when where. The names of all the locations meant nothing to me. Might have been better to spend more time fleshing out the characters. Maytubby's diet worried me. I kept waiting for him to grab a large chunk of cheese or a loaf of bread when his girlfriend wasn't looking. I had the distinct impression, the author was trying to create a man who appears gruff and hardboiled on the surface but is a serious intellect, a Renaissance man at heart. It didn't work for me. I liked Hannah and her healthy appetite. I got lost in the plot about who did what to whom. The reverend, the politician, and the guy on the motorcycle were all muddled in my mind. I felt a heavy weight lifted when I reached the end, still wishing I could have enjoyed the story more. Weak I felt the descriptions were weak along with the characters. Ok am sure that this a beginning book and am sure he will get better.Martha Three Stars Not very exciting had a lot of trouble following the story line a sturdy, no-bullshit female officers from the county Nailâs Crossing is a fast-paced police procedural from debut author Kris Lackey. Set in Southeastern Oklahoma, the novel dips into Arkansas (my stomping grounds) and Louisiana. Some scenes take place in Oklahoma City, in neighborhoods I know well and the locales depicted in this book are precisely why when I received an email regarding it, I absolutely had to read it. This book is in the first in a series centered around Bill Maytubby, a reservation police officer, and Hannah Bond, a sturdy, no-bullshit female officers from the county. In these two and the many side characters, Lackey proves adept at making his cast realistic and relateable â which is something I find wanting in other books far too often. The plot of Nailâs Crossing deals with the aftermath of a young womanâs murder and a varied group of individuals that are responsible for her death.

Title: Burning Angel Subtitle: A Dave Robicheaux Novel, Book 8 Author: James Lee Burke Narrator: Mark Hammer Format: Unabridged Length: 14 hrs and 9 mins Language: English Release date: 06-26-12 Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 282 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: James Lee Burke's blockbuster best-seller at a new low price! Detective Dave Robicheaux becomes entangled in the affairs of the Fontenot family, descendants of sharecroppers whose matriarch helped raise Dave as a child. They are in danger of losing the land they've lived on for more than a century. As Dave tries to discover who wants the land so badly, he finds himself in increasing peril from a lethal, rag tag alliance of local mobsters and a hired assassin with a shady past. Members Reviews: HAUNTING: A Mystical Bayou Cop Story... In one of his best earlier (the sixth) Dave Robicheaux stories, In the Electric Mist With Confederate Dead James Lee Burke began to explore the thin line between spirituality and mysticism. In the process he created a new genre - the metaphysical cop story. Here in the eighth Robicheaux he revisits that idea. Im glad. You will be too, especially if youve started the series from the beginning. In fact, Id recommend that you skip right over Dixie City Jam, Burkes seventh and slowest novel and come from Electric Mists to Burning Angel. Youll miss nothing in the epic evolution of Dave, Bootsey, Alafair, and Cleetus but youll get to enjoy Burkes growing his ability to explore this lyrical new story arc. Of the eight Burke novels, I still think that the first and that Electric Mist are the most haunting. But with the exception of Dixie City Jam, they are among the absolute finest work in American detective fiction EVER! Uh-huh. EVER! And as always,The late Mark Hammers lyrical talent to create this back-bayou Louisiana world is magical. If you enjoy detective/police/thriller/mystery fiction the Dave Robicheaux series is a must start. Excellent Overall a great read, I love the details of each character's life and how they interact. I especially like the complicated Dave Robicheaux and his constant fight to stay on the straight and narrow. Ugg What would have made Burning Angel better? The narration was dull and boring. It needs someone livelier. What didnt you like about Mark Hammers performance? He sounds bored and dull. If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Burning Angel? Im unsure. Maybe I just dont like the subject. Enjoyed it way more the 2nd and 3rd time around! Great story! Initially I found it somewhat confusing but I gets better with each lesson. The key is to listen to the little stories within the bigger story. It's kinda like Where's Waldo except in this case Waldo is Sonny disappointed very disappointed in this story after reading so many other enjoyable Burke novels.

The Tin Roof Blowdown Audiobook by James Lee Burke

Title: The Tin Roof Blowdown Subtitle: A Dave Robicheaux Novel Author: James Lee Burke Narrator: Will Patton Format: Unabridged Length: 13 hrs and 8 mins Language: English Release date: 07-05-07 Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 3269 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: In the midst of it all is Robicheaux, doing his best to help regulate the post-Katrina madness, all the while on a dogged search for a pair of dangerous fugitives, a dope-addicted, fallen priest, and a vigilante insurance salesman who takes his family's protection too far. This promises to be the most taxing and emotional case Robicheaux has had to work. In his singular style, which defies genre, James Lee Burke has created a haunting picture of life in New Orleans after Katrina. Filled with complex characters and vivid descriptions of the destruction and death that gripped the Big Easy, The Tin Roof Blowdown is an action-packed crime thriller as well as a poignant story of what disaster and desperation can do to people. Critic Reviews: "Meticulously textured....dense, rich prose that draws the reader into a web of greed and violence." (Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: How Does One Manage? This is the most horrifying description of post Katrina that I've read to date. The lush description of the beauty of New Orleans and Louisiana bayou country is gone, replaced by "bodies wrapped tight like mummies in the gray and brown detritus left by the receding waters." There were parts I had to close my eyes to listen to because the sense of place was so vivid and I couldn't stand what I was seeing. The story is vintage Burke with a little bit of "is it mystical magic or not" thrown in amongst the good vs. evil that is the cross on which Burke hangs his stories. Burke's politics is more evident here than in other books, with Bush bashing, gratuitous remarks about Fox News, etc., all which jarringly interrupt the story's magic. But yet, the depth of Burke's anger at what happened in New Orleans, the failures and abandoment, certainly is well-grounded. You can read the publisher's summary to get a feel for the story, but even if Burke was writing about the recipe for a fish stew, I'd read it and it would be wonderful. There is not a writer alive today that can put you in the scene so completely - the smells, the sights, the scent of the breeze, the color of sunlight and shade, he's just wonderful. This is a wonderful,achingly sad, and somewhat horrific story of how Burke mourns the City of New Orleans and what it once was. I'd give it 10 stars if possible. Thankfully, I overcame my dread. I bought this title solely based on audible reviews. I was hesitant because of the subject matter: perhaps suffering from post-Katrina overload, I wasn't sure how willing I was to relive this sorry, depressing American story. But, wow, what a surprise this book was. Burke tells a ripping good detective story, and in it he seamlessly blends themes of familial love, the faithfulness of friends, and the desire for redemption, so that the book becomes much more than just another police procedural. And the most powerful aspect of the book is that at its core, it is a tragic love letter to a city on the verge of obliteration. The storytelling is made all the better by a near perfect narration. Patton is subdued without being boring. He strikes the perfect tone for the material. Highly recommended. Gripping and gruesome This was my first Dave Robicheaux novel. I felt that the characters were thrown at me, as if expecting that I knew the history behind them and relationships tying them together.

Title: The 4th Man Author: Lisa Gardner Narrator: Luke Daniels Format: Unabridged Length: 1 hr and 24 mins Language: English Release date: 01-03-17 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 329 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: FBI Profiler Pierce Quincy and Officer Rainie Conner return in a baffling cold case in this short story by New York Times best-selling author Lisa Gardner. A young woman is found strangled in the stairwell of a college library, only her sneakers missing. With no physical evidence, no signs of sexual assault, and no witnesses, all the police have to go on are the three men who were in the library with her: her boyfriend and two campus security guards...all of whom have secrets, none of whom can be proven guilty. Five years later, ex-FBI profiler Pierce Quincy and his wife, former police officer Rainie Conner, agree to consult on the still-unsolved case, delving into deep background to comb for any clue that will lead to the woman's murderer. But with no leads and the case colder than the body, will they be able to build a case against one of the three suspects, or is there a fourth man out there? And if the killer has eluded the police this long, how far will he go to ensure justice is never served? With Gardner's singular ability to delve into the minds of criminals and law enforcement alike, "The 4th Man" is a shocking look at the reasons for taking a life...and just how far profilers need to go to learn them. Members Reviews: Not great. I wasn't very taken in with this story. It was a bit slow and predictable. I'm not a fan of Lisa Gardner, but every couple of years I'll try one of her books. They certainly aren't terrible. It's just that they don't transport me into picturing the characters, being right there with them It's all about the shoes! Almost 9 years after releasing Say Goodbye, the 6th and most recent novel in her FBI Profiler/Pierce Quincy series, Lisa Gardner releases a The 4th Man, a FBI Profiler short story that also includes D.D.Warren and of course Quincy's wife Rainie Connor. Later this month Gardner will release Right Behind You which is the 7th novel in the Quincy/Profiler series. The 4th Man is an interesting cold case murder mystery set in Boston. The real surprise is that Luke Daniels narrates. She seldom uses male narrators even for male voices (exceptions are Kirby Heyborne once and Mikael Naramore once). When you run out of things to say .... maybe quit writing. I used to be a fan but no more. Such drivel and I actually paid for it. If I could rate less than a star I certainly would. sucks it's only one little story I couldn't believe it when Quincy solved the case it was literally four chapters long Be aware: this is a SHORT STORY I mistakenly thought this was 11 hours, but it was only 1! Don't get me wrong - I liked the story and narrator but don't use a credit on a one hour story! I bought it at a cheap price but thought it was a sale. Disappointed when it ended! I thought it was the intro! Lol

Title: Truly Dead Author: Anne Frasier Narrator: Natalie Ross Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 14 mins Language: English Release date: 05-30-17 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 393 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: In award-winning author Anne Frasier's riveting thriller Truly Dead, homicide detective Elise Sandburg returns to Savannah with her partner, profiler David Gould, to track a killer who seems eerily familiar. When a demolition crew uncovers several bodies inside the walls of a house where serial killer Frank J. Remy once lived, the discovery sends shock waves through the Savannah Police Department. All of the bodies were hidden before Remy's imprisonment and subsequent death thirty-six years earlier - except for one belonging to a missing child. Homicide partners Elise Sandburg and David Gould were the Savannah PD's dream team, solving uncrackable crimes and catching killers. But their last case resulted in their termination from the squad, until the coroner calls them back to consult, unofficially, on a body found in the wall of a house once occupied by Remy, a killer Elise's own father sent to jail - a killer who died in prison. The MO seems uncomfortably similar to that of a serial killer wreaking havoc in Florida. Does Elise have a copycat on her hands? Is Remy's influence reaching from beyond the grave? Or is Elise making connections where there are none? When her father warns her to back off the case, Elise's shadowy family history threatens to swallow her once again. But whatever force is at work, she won't rest until the killing stops. Now at odds with everyone she cares about and forced to acknowledge her worsening emotional state, Elise struggles to protect the people she loves as the body count rises. Members Reviews: Great book and series Loved the book, it is as good as the previous ones, looking forward for the next one. As good As good as it gets! Great read! This book is good if not better than the first three! Hoping for another installment! Would you consider the audio edition of Truly Dead to be better than the print version? The narrator brings a nice touch to the story, especially when I couldn't imagine some of these accents good enough! Have you listened to any of Natalie Rosss other performances before? How does this one compare? I've listened to all books in the Elise Sandburg series and Natalie blows it out of the park every single book! Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? The very end, no spoilers ;) Any additional comments? I advise refreshing your memory of the old books before diving into this one. I have read so many books this year I totally blanked over Atticus Termaine! One of Her Very Best If you could sum up Truly Dead in three words, what would they be? What a ride! What did you like best about this story? Complex plot, great character developemnt. Which character as performed by Natalie Ross was your favorite? Elise If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? More Twists & Turns than a Roller Coaster at Six Flags. Any additional comments? I only hope that there will be more of Elise & David, et al, to come, Jon Great series! Great performance! Hope it's not the end but if so it was great!

Hidden Prey Audiobook by John Sandford

Title: Hidden Prey Subtitle: Prey Author: John Sandford Narrator: Richard Ferrone Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 27 mins Language: English Release date: 10-25-12 Publisher: Penguin Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 1146 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: Six months ago, Lucas Davenport tackled his first case as a statewide troubleshooter, and he thought that one was plenty strange enough. But that was before the Russian got killed. On the shore of Lake Superior, a man named Vladimir Oleshev is found shot dead, three holes in his head and heart, and though nobody knows why he was killed, everybody - the local cops, the FBI, and the Russians themselves - has a theory. And when it turns out he had very high government connections, that's when it hits the fan. A Russian cop flies in from Moscow, Davenport flies in from Minneapolis, law enforcement and press types swarm the crime scene - and, in the middle of it all, there is another murder. Is there a relationship between the two? What is the Russian cop hiding from Davenport? Is she - yes, it's a woman - a cop at all? Why was the man shot with ... fifty-year-old bullets? Before he can find the answers, Davenport will have to follow a trail back to another place, another time, and battle the shadows he discovers there - shadows that turn out to be both very real and very deadly. Members Reviews: Davenport is all business in this one Having read many of the installments in the Davenport series, I was a little surprised that the usual cast of family and law enforcement characters were minimized in this novel. It was all about Lucas and the characters created for this particular story. And it worked. Carl wasn't very believable but this was tempered somewhat by grandpa who was a great character and who allowed us to believe that maybe Carl could be someone in the real world. I liked Nadia and wouldn't mind seeing her in other Davenport installments (although I'm not sure exactly where this book falls chronologically in the series). As always, narrator Richard Ferrone was superb. His delivery is impeccable, especially when portraying low-life characters. This was not the best Davenport novel I've listened to but it was well worth my time. Well written and read but not a great plot. Book #15 in the series of 22 featuring Lucas Davenport, this was my first exposure to Lucas Davenport, having picked up the book on sale. He sounds like an interesting character, but the mystery doesn't really hold together well. A 50-year-old communist cell in northern Minnesota consisting of members of several clans but previously undiscovered in a region where historically Socialism had taken root? Unknown to the FBI? A grandson brainwashed by his kooky grandfather, apparently willing to do whatever it takes to further the cause? Structurally, you need to accept that an important character in the beginning and end but apparently incidental to the plot withheld the key to the case only to reveal crucial elements when Lucas was stuck. Nevertheless, I liked the internally incompletely resolved conclusion. Will the case reach full closure in connection with a later book in the series? The writing is good; I'd be willing to give another Sandford book a try if the story had an average rating of 4+ by others. I'm glad that a previous reviewer (Adry) mentioned a background noise that sounds like another story or radio--too faint to be understood but loud enough to be distracting, especially during pauses in the reading. This is the first Audible book that I found to be technically flawed in this way. A Comfortable Davenport Hmmmm....

The Dark Wind Audiobook by Tony Hillerman

The boots' owner lies nearby, his palms and soles "scalped" in what appears to be a witch's scavenging. The federal investigators tell Chee to mind his own business. But a series of disturbing events draws Chee into a dangerous web of intrigue spun by Navajo sorcery and white greed. Members Reviews: Excellent complicated mystery Even though I guessed the villain well before the end, I really appreciated the way the various story lines interwove. Also, I appreciate the more formal character interactions than we find in other mystery/crime novels these days. I don't need to hear about the emotional life of the characters from potty training to passionate young love in order to understand and solve the mystery being detailed. I sometimes wonder whether all the cultural details are accurate, but I understand that Hillerman was well grounded in those matters, and doubt he'd feel the need to invent much. Such a pleasure. I have the entire series, tough not all are audio, and some of the audios are only available on CD. I hope Audible will eventually produce more of them. The dark wind Great book,the way the Navajo thinks about everything as per white people enjoyed the reading by George Guidall Enjoyable I always enjoy listening to this series and this narrator. It is a great listen. Hillerman's stuck on the flypaper of his storyline The author creates a great dichotomy between indigenous mythology and detective work. His Native American heroes face the challenge of policing autonomous nations within overlapping police jurisdictions. Normally, this just adds to the interest. But in "The Dark Wind," Hillerman paints himself into a corner. Unable to write a happy ending, he forces his hero to act irrationally in order to stay true to the constraints he has forced upon the storyline. love these older books. don't overlook older books as they are a good relaxing read. looking forewarned to the next one.

Bone Box Audiobook by Faye Kellerman

Title: Bone Box Author: Faye Kellerman Narrator: Richard Ferrone Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 49 mins Language: English Release date: 02-28-17 Publisher: HarperAudio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 618 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: In this thrilling chapter in Faye Kellerman's best-selling series, Rina Lazarus makes a shocking discovery in the woods of her upstate New York community that leads her husband, police detective Peter Decker, through a series of gruesome, decades-old unsolved murders, pointing to a diabolical serial killer who's been hiding in plain sight. On a bright and crisp September morning, while walking a bucolic woodland trail, Rina Decker stumbles upon human remains once buried deep beneath the forest grounds. Immediately she calls her husband, Peter, a former detective lieutenant with the LAPD, now working for the local Greenbury police. Within hours a vista of beauty and tranquility is transformed into a frenetic crime scene. The body has been interred for years, and there is scant physical evidence at the gravesite: a youthful skeleton, a skull wound, and long, dark strands of hair surrounding the bony frame. As Decker and his partner, Tyler McAdams, further investigate, they realize that they're most likely dealing with a missing student from the nearby Five Colleges of Upstate - a well-known and well-respected consortium of higher learning where Rina works. And when more human remains are found in the same area, Decker and McAdams know this isn't just a one-off murder case. Short-staffed, and with no convenient entry into the colleges, Decker enlists Rina's help to act as the eyes and ears of campus gossip. Winding their way through a dangerous labyrinth of steely suspects and untouchable academics, Decker, McAdams, and Rina race to protect their community from a psychopathic killer still in the area - and on the hunt for a fresh victim. Members Reviews: Left me questioning Rina stumbles upon a skeleton in the woods, opening up cold case after cold case, as Decker and McAdams start digging for answers. Decker does his usual job of asking all the right questions in the right way, as suspect after suspect starts appearing. This installment was somewhat of a reunion, because like suspects popping up, so did old acquaintances and family members from previous books. Without giving anything away, I think I can make the next statement safely, since only readers of the book will understand this last observation. Enjoyable as it was, the ending left me somewhat confused with the overlapping digger. Good story...needs a better narrator. I have trouble with this narrator. Hard to determine who is speaking at times. Great story though! Narration ruins the book for me. It's probably a good book. All the others have been. The narration ruins the whole thing for me. It's just awful. Can't follow it - I keep trying. It might have been better if there had been a female as well. Bones indeed Great story. Suspenseful, keeps you guessing. Love the reader. Want more books from Faye kellerman The Great series I just finished listening to the whole series from beginning. I love the way they evolve and teach the Jewish culture as well as give the womans perspective. the only disappointing part is that the last three books were read by Mr. Ferrone. His voice would be perfect for the Pendergast novels or a Stephen King book, but they do a great injustice to this series. No ability to tell when a woman is talking. I miss Mitch Greenbergs wonderful reading of all the books up to the last three.

Jance Narrator: Susan Ericksen Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 55 mins Language: English Release date: 07-19-17 Publisher: Harper Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 42 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: Juggling a family and a career is never easy - and it's becoming a real challenge for Sheriff Joanna Brady. Coping with the impending delivery of her second child as well as a staff shortage, the last thing Joanna needs is two serious crimes. First, the body of an unidentified man is found in the desert, all of his fingers savagely severed. Following the scant clues, Joanna learns that the victim was an ex-con who had served 20 years in prison after confessing to the murder of his pregnant wife. During his last days he was seen following and photographing a young woman. Then one of Joanna's officers is brutally attacked while on an unauthorized stakeout. Because the officer is one of its own, the department throws its resources into finding her attacker. But the murder haunts Joanna. Being a sheriff has become what she is, and she'll risk everything to see that justice is done. Members Reviews: Well done My wife and I listened together. We both enjoyed both the content and the exceellent reading performance. Best in a long time This. Has been one of the best books Ive read/listen to in a long long time. Very well written and read. Thank you for the great book great read I especially like the narrator. good pace and story. I listen for about 30 minutes a night before I doze off. with this book however. I found myself setting the timer for 60 minutes. the story was believable and had many twists and turns that keep the reader engaged. I have only read 2 of the books but now desire to go back and read them all and find out other cases for sherrif Brady. highly recommend. would make better movie than some at theater! pronunciation is everything the reader should listen to the other books to make sure the names are properly pronounced. old school English is always best. Dead Wrong I'm sorry, but I hate it when a new narrator pronounces the protagonist's name wrong. Every time I heard it, it pulled me out of the story. I hate that!

The Coffin Dancer Audiobook by Jeffery Deaver

Title: The Coffin Dancer Subtitle: A Novel Author: Jeffery Deaver Narrator: Jeff Harding Format: Unabridged Length: 13 hrs and 35 mins Language: English Release date: 03-08-16 Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 222 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: Detective Lincoln Rhyme, the foremost criminalist in the NYPD, is on the hunt for an elusive murderer, the Coffin Dancer. He's a brilliant hitman who changes his appearance even faster than he adds to his trail of victims, only one of whom has lived long enough to offer a clue: The assassin has an eerie tattoo on his arm of the Grim Reaper waltzing with a woman in front of a casket. Like his previous best-selling novels A Maiden's Grave and The Bone Collector, Jeffery Deaver's latest psychological thriller combines spine-chilling forensic detail with a turbocharged plot. In The Coffin Dancer, Rhyme, tragically paralyzed from a line-of-duty accident, continues to tutor his beautiful protégé, Detective Amelia Sachs, in the art of criminal hunting. Rhyme is certain he's seen this killer before, and his suspicion of an earlier encounter fuels a bitter taste for vengeance. When the chameleonlike assassin targets three federal witnesses for death, the stakes reach a new high. Rhyme's brainpower and Sachs' legwork are the only tools they have to track the cunning murderer through the subways, parks, and airports of a darkly painted New York City. And they have only 48 hours before the Coffin Dancer strikes again. With The Coffin Dancer, Deaver - already an internationally best-selling author whose acclaimed novels have been translated into a dozen languages - uses his trademark plot twists to keep this fast-paced, masterly thriller steamrolling along with breathtaking speed. This is gripping suspense of the highest order. Members Reviews: Annoying I really don't like cartoonish voices. The book is well written but gets lost in the infantile interpretation of Amelia and Tom who should both be strong characters to balance Rhime. I will not buy any subsequent books with this reader. Yet Another Terrible Reader Spoils Great Book I am so very disappointed with the chosen narrators for the first 3 wonderfully exciting books by talented Jeffery Deaver. His protagonist, Lincoln Rhyme is a (in his words) a gimp, a crip, a quad who has little control over any part of his body with the exception of a very sharp brain, which he uses to find criminals in NYC, with the help of former runway model, now cop, Sachs-aka Amelia-. I read the first 3 novels in the series years ago, when they were released in book form, long before Audible was a dream. Back when Books On Tape used amateur readers to put books into tape (or even record form) for the blind. I really believe these novice readers have migrated to big time and are now reading for the production companies. Take Jeff Harding-the narrator (and I use the word loosely ) for "The Coffin Dancer". His voice is gruff-he could read Mickey Spallain type books (I know I spelled that incorrectly, I don't care), where the gruff cop or PI calls women dolls and babe. His voice has no essence of delicacy too it. All the men sound alike, every one has a serious New York City slur accent, with no differences. All the women sound like they have smoked for 50 years. And when he's telling the story, between the he said/she said parts, his voice is...boring. This is an exciting story.

Title: The Marco Effect Subtitle: Department Q, Book 5 Author: Jussi Adler-Olsen Narrator: Graeme Malcolm Format: Unabridged Length: 15 hrs and 25 mins Language: English Release date: 09-09-14 Publisher: Penguin Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 1838 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Police Procedurals Publisher's Summary: All fifteen-year-old Marco Jameson wants is to become a Danish citizen and go to school like a normal teenager. But his uncle Zola rules his former gypsy clan with an iron fist. Revered as a god and feared as a devil, Zola forces the children of the clan to beg and steal for his personal gain. When Marco discovers a dead body - proving the true extent of Zola's criminal activities - he goes on the run. But his family members aren't the only ones who'll go to any lengths to keep Marco silent - forever. Meanwhile, the last thing Detective Carl Mrck needs is for his assistants, Assad and Rose, to pick up a missing persons case on a whim: Carl's nemesis is his new boss, and he's saddled Department Q with an unwelcome addition. But when they learn that a mysterious teen named Marco may have as much insight into the case as he has fear of the police, Carl is determined to solve the mystery and save the boy. Carl's actions propel the trio into a case that extends from Denmark to Africa, from embezzlers to child soldiers, from seemingly petty crime rings to the very darkest of cover-ups. Please note: This book has also been published under the alternate title Buried. Members Reviews: So Well Written, So Well Narrated I'm an unabashed fan of all the Department Q series of books and this one is another winner. The story is perfectly told from several perspectives and Graeme's narration is wonderful. Rose and Assad have to be the most hilarious assistants in all of the thrillers I've read/listened to in a long time. You can pick up and listen to really any of these books in any order and fully enjoy them. If you love Jo Nesbo, you'll also love this series. Funny, Sharp Witted, Dept Q Worth The Wait! In some series the characters and settings make the mystery secondary. Rhys Bowen's Royal Spyness mysteries and Cotterhill's Dr. Siri are two excellent examples. But with his Department Q series, Alder-Olsen delivers his unforgettable characters in equally riveting thrillers. Marco is a 15 year old boy trapped within his own family of European gypsies. He hates his life and when he rebels against his father and uncle, his fate seems sealed. Learning he will be permanently maimed to set an example for the others in the family, he escapes to seek a new life. During his escape he unwittingly uncovers a murder which if discovered, will expose extremely rich and powerful people. Carl, Assad and Rose are back in full force with the same comic genius, synergy and sterling detective work that marks each of the books in the series. Only there's an additional member of the team who just may prove to the straw the breaks the camel's back for lead detective Carl Mork. We also learn a bit more about the mysterious Assad's background and why he's in Dept Q in the first place. Of course, Rose rounds out the trio with her high heels, black eyes and bad attitude. Graeme Malcom is the best possible choice as narrator. His work here and throughout the series is outstanding. I give this 5 stars because of its humor, great characters, stellar narration and unique story line. Chasing Marco - could have been a better title I really like this series. Great character development, witty and well written. This book starts out with a gripping storyline that made me want to listen straight through.

Her live-in boyfriend has left her for his personal trainer, chronic insomnia has caused her to max out her credit cards with late-night home shopping purchases, and a frightening killer who calls himself "The Gingerbread Man" is dumping mutilated bodies in her district. While avoiding the FBI and its moronic profiling computer, joining a dating service, mixing it up with street thugs, and parrying the advances of an uncouth PI, Jack and her binge-eating partner, Herb, must catch the maniac before he kills again...and Jack is next on his murder list. Whiskey Sour is the first book in the bestselling Jack Daniels series, full of laugh-out-loud humor and edge-of-your-seat suspense. Critic Reviews: Dual voices add considerable interest to this debut novel....The production's conversations sound more like those of a radio play than a reading, and one gets the feeling that both actors are having fun. This is a fine series opener." (AudioFile) Members Reviews: Like the book but GRAPHIC details This is book one in a series about a detective named Jack Daniels (female) who works in the homicide unit of the Chicago Police Force. Some of the chapters are written from the point of view of Jack and then others from the point of view of the serial killer. Jack has a partner named Herb who provides some comic relief. The two main characters are likable and I enjoyed the story but the details of the serial murders are VERY GRAPHIC. Before I downloaded the book I had read that in reviews and thought I had heard it all as I have watched shows like Criminal Minds, CSI etc and read some true crime novels but this truly tops those by far. I was listening to this in my car on the way home one night and found myself saying OMG more than once. When I got home I got freaked out just walking by my closet in the dark (if you have read the book you will understand this). It makes me wonder what goes on in the mind of the author that he comes up with the murder details that he does - if I was his wife I might be concerned... So if you are a little squeamish about some of the things you have seen on tv or movies you might want to think twice before downloading. If you like Evonavich you will like this series. This is the first book in the series and I am hooked! After listening to this book, I purchased the whole set. I like that Jack(Jackie)Daniels is a little older and wiser. She is a 50 something cop with many years under her belt yet can get into some interesting situations. The narrator dose a good job with the different voices and is easy to listen to. Follow the characters What made the experience of listening to Whiskey Sour the most enjoyable? The actors reading the story are excellent. The story is bloody but since in context it does not feel real it did not bother me. Who was your favorite character and why? All of them mesh well together Any additional comments? A great addition to the series A Refreshing Take on Murder Mysteries Would you consider the audio edition of Whiskey Sour to be better than the print version? I never read the print version but I'm certain the audio is better. Konrath writes his novels with the audio book in mind. His characters are so much better when brought to life.

Her superiors dismiss her concerns, but Ellery knows the vanishing season is coming and anyone could be next. She contacts the one man she knows will believe her: the FBI agent who saved her from a killer's closet all those years ago. Agent Reed Markham made his name and fame on the back of the Coben case, but his fortunes have since turned. His marriage is in shambles, his bosses think he's washed up, and worst of all, he blew a major investigation.

Critic Reviews: "Murder in Amish country has a certain added frisson, and Castillo's the master of the genre." ( People) Members Reviews: As Expected from Linda Castillo. Good as always expected from Linda Castillo. Worth purchasing and you won't want to stop listening. No words to describe how much I enjoy these books!!! The narration is spot on!! As always! The story keeps me engaged every minute!! I am so sad it is over and I can't wait for the next one!!!!!! Down A Dark Road does not disappoint! Down A Dark Road is the ninth book in The Kate Burkholder series by Linda Castillo and it does not disappoint. First I'd like to say that the narrator, Kathleen McInerney is by far one of the best narrators out there. We all know narration can help make or break an audiobook and McInerney's delivery undoubtedly helps make this a hit. I'm amazed at how she's able to make each of the characters distinct and recognizable by giving them the perfect voice. Great job!!! Secondly, Linda Castillo has "slam dunked" another hit in this series. From the time I started listening to Down A Dark Road I found myself immersed within it, ignoring everyone and everything until the audiobook was finished. I especially love how with each book in this series Castillo's words allow us small glimpses into the private lives of the Amish. She is a talented mystery writer who keeps readers on the edge of their seats & spices things up by adding a splash of romance to the mix. This series continues to be a compelling "listen" for me and always leaves me wanting more. Well worth the credit. Not the Best but I LOVE Burkholder Is there anything you would change about this book? I am not sure I would have stayed engaged in the book had I not been a huge Kate Burkholder fan.

Driven off the force by her treacherous partner and lover, she's flat broke and struggling with a gambling addiction. All Nicole has left is the dream of a warm bed at a homeless shelter and the haunting memories of three-year-old Kelsey Chase - whose murder case ended her career. As Nicole obsesses over the old facts, she realizes everything about that case felt off: a disinterested mom, a suicidal pedophile, and too many questions left unanswered. When the little girl's grieving father begs Nicole for help, she's drawn back into the investigation...and given one shot at redemption. But the deeper Nicole digs, the more evil she uncovers, including betrayals that hit painfully close to home. Will a shocking discovery be the key to finally getting justice for Kelsey and resurrecting her own life? Members Reviews: Loved this book... Loved this book, didn't want to put it down. Many twist and turns. About children sad, but this is the world today. I highly recommend this book. Disappointing ending Yet another story about a crooked and inept, weak female cop. stringing out the story and doing a hasty wrap up of an ending with no real resolution to all of the complicated characters previously introduced. Twist and turns you won't see coming This was a excellent read. I LOVED it. It had me interested from start to finish. As always, I was hoping for a good read but I was so pleasantly surprised at what a great book The Sound of Rain was. Such a great story-line with twist and turns you won't see coming. It's not overdone or cliche like so many other books. Great plot, great characters and well written. If you're a mystery-thriller-suspense fan you really need this book. Wow never saw that coming Would you try another book from Gregg Olsen and/or Karen Peakes? Yes, if they are anything like this Would you be willing to try another book from Gregg Olsen? Why or why not? Yes, this one kept me guessing. I liked that What does Karen Peakes bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? She brought passion to the story. She didn't just read it, she lived it. If this book were a movie would you go see it? Not sure The last hour of the book pulled out the 3rd star What did you like best about The Sound of Rain? What did you like least? Best-The twists and turns at the end Worst-The author should study police procedure Would you be willing to try another book from Gregg Olsen? Why or why not? Probably not for the reason I listed as WORST part of the book Do you think The Sound of Rain needs a follow-up book? Why or why not? No Any additional comments? I stopped reading this book several times. The authors police investigation was bad writing and in no way believable. I strongly dislike giving a bad review. If you can overlook this part and get through it, the last 1/4 or so is pretty good.

Dillon and his sister Lily both have to face their worst fears to survive. Members Reviews: Enjoyable!! FBI series by Coulter. I enjoy these books. I have read them all but it has been awhile. Pretty light but always fun. Savich and Sherlock are great. It was interesting with the narrators each reading the chapters together with the man doing all male voices and the female doing all the female voices. I don't think I have heard it done that way before. Exciting and never a dull moment! it had more twists and turns than a cork screw. I'd like to see Lily and Simon developed more. Great Story, Terrible Reading Excellent story but I was distracted by the narrators. They did a terrible job. I will not listen to them again. loved this book! starts out a little weird, but it's a great story! mystery, romance, and action all in one story Fantastic. Boy who knew the art world could be so dangerous. Once again a story full of twists and turns. And let us. not forget crazy Tammy Tuttle. Wow !!!

In Bloody Mary, she busted a psychopath with a penchant for dismemberment. In Rusty Nail, it was a serial killer with a doozy of a family tree. And now, in Dirty Martini, Jack faces her toughest adversary yet: a sicko who's poisoning the city's food supply. But that's just the start of what he has planned, because he's aiming to kill fifty thousand people in the single biggest act of terrorism the US has ever seen. Can she stop himand decide whether to accept boyfriend Latham's surprise proposalwithout destroying both her reputation and her sanity? Join Jack, her partner Herb, and her nemesis Harry McGlade, for her fourth, and greatest, case so far. Members Reviews: Fabulously Refreshing I admit to having listened to only half of this book at the time of writing this review, but I'm enjoying it so much that I feel compelled to hopefully turn other people on to this writer. The main character is a policewoman who is completely believeable. She's not overly tough and cynical, and she's not shy and retiring, either. She's a real person with real feelings, and she's darned good at her job. The narrators afre both fabulous, too. The writer has a great sense of humor, too, and the book flits nicely between being funny, and tension-filled. I'll listen to many more of this author's books. Now if I could just teach her that Martinis are far better when made with gin instaed of vodka . . . Bravo!! Another Great Book in the series! If you could sum up Dirty Martini in three words, what would they be? Intense, Endearing, Funny What was one of the most memorable moments of Dirty Martini? The letter Jack uncovers, I wont say more..don't want to spoil anything for the listener. Which scene was your favorite? Her wedding dance and her with Harry. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes and I pretty much do! Any additional comments? The book series continues to get better and better! I love the characters, the narration, and the unique story lines. I highly recommend this series!!. still loving it I'm still in love with this series! The author is so clever and the narrators, husband and wife, are sooooooooo good at what they do. Each book has been so entertaining, like the old radio stories. I can't get enough. The story lines are intriguing and developing too, next please! Another great Jack Daniels book Narration is fantastic per usual. Love this series so far. Very funny and thrilling just like it's predecessors. Great listen Another fun read from Konrath. Jack just keeps getting tougher all the time & has the competition to match. This case was interesting & scary. It could happen all too easily. I look forward to the next!

Delaine demonstrates her talents as a narrator through realistic portrayals of a dizzying cast of male and female characters, both criminals and cops." AudioFile Magazine When she's called to the murder scene, the last thing San Francisco Homicide detective Valerie Hart is expecting is for Katherine Glass to walk back into her life. Six years earlier, revulsion and fascination had gripped the nation in equal measure, as beautiful, intelligent, charmingand utterly evilKatherine Glass had been convicted on six counts of Murder One. But the freshly-mutilated corpse in the ground-floor apartment bears all the hallmarks of Katherine's victims. And then there's the note, with its chilling implications. Addressed to Valerie. To stop the slaughter, Valerie has no choice. She must ask Katherine Glass to help her decipher the killer's twisted message. But that means re-entering the pitch-black labyrinth that is Katherine's mind, and this time Valerie isn't so sure which one of them will survive. Critic Reviews: "Christina Delaine narrates this complicated story of violence, sex, and suspense at a breakneck pace. Delaine demonstrates her talents as a narrator through realistic portrayals of a dizzying cast of male and female characters, both criminals and cops." (AudioFile ) Members Reviews: So glad I didnt listen to the negative reviews So many complained this was not good but WOW - they couldnt have been more wrong. Wonderful & deep book. Give me a break!!! I loved the first book - but this 2nd book just irritated me to distraction. The unnecessary sexual deprivation descriptions - going on and on as if we cannot completely understand unless it takes u a whole chapter. The long drawn out monologue of the psychopath Katherine Glass - OH MY GOD - and it could have been intentional - but I cannot listen to someone go on and on...and on and on....about themselves, especially the need to describe their childhood mast urbanization practices, again, for an entire chapter, droning on and on. (Note my run-on sentence - the book is FULL OF THEM). The dialogue was painful, I kept waiting for it to get better, to become intelligent - but with only 5-hrs remaining I GIVE UP!!! And, Saul Black is so very obviously intelligent - so why go down this road?? Not sure I will attempt another Saul Black book after this. Narrator is excellent! So greatly diabolical! I absolutely adored Kathryn the brilliant murderous psychopath. I would love to see this made into a film! The narrator is outstanding. What a fun ride!

Fall in Philadelphia. A man's corpse is found in one of the city's poorest neighborhoods. It's unmistakably the work of a killer. But to homicide detectives Kevin Byrne and Jessica Balzano, it feels familiar. Eight years ago another body was found in the same place, in the same position...killed in the same manner. Even the crime-scene photos are identical. That case was never closed. And now more copycat murders are happening. Someone is recreating the city's most infamous unsolved killings, victim by victim - with more clues for Byrne and Balzano to unravel.... Taut and suspenseful, The Echo Man is already an international best seller. Discover what listeners around the world already know: Richard Montanari's novels are "relentlessly suspenseful" (Tess Gerritsen). Members Reviews: One of the missing... Someone in Philadelphia is killing killers. The first victim is found in the place he left his victim eight years earlier. Few clues are found. As Byrne and Balzano are trying to conduct their investigation they have a college student tagging along making a documentary film about police procedural and crime. You are almost pointed in his direction but that almost seemed too obvious. As the body count rises the clues also mount but they don't seem to have a meaning. When it finely becomes clear unless you understand some of the great composers you can not guess the why. The Who is just as obscure and you don't really get any clues until almost the end, it's great. I love getting a book I can't guess who done it and there aren't many of those. This book and The Killing Room which will be released 11/1/17 are not new they are both books that are missing from the series. If you've never read this series I HIGHLY RECOMMEND it. Each book can be read as a stand alone. There is some progression in the characters lives but nothing that would leave the reader confused about what happened before. Scott Brick does an outstanding job narrating. If you found this review helpful please indicate so. Thank You. So far best one yet I could not put it down. The twist unreal. The ending unbelievable. Give a listen. very loose threads and hard to follow The plot was translucent at best. not my favorite. The Dollmaker however, excellent work Mr. Montenarri! Echo Boring Very disappointed in the convoluted story and quick conclusion. Have enjoyed other in past. Not this one. very entertaining and suspenceful! this audiobook kept me wanting to listen...an ending I didn't see coming! I enjoyed it very much!

I'm not one to leave negative feedback but ughhh. Could have been good but wasn't. Definetly do not listen to audio version, narrator's voice is horrible. Very unbelievable especially hearing hear say the F word. Wasn't a fan of Cross the cop guy at all. None of the characters actually. Book just sucked. Wish I could get my money back Excellent Book This story was full of suspense from page one all the way to the end. A great story of a woman's determination to survive and the two men determined to find her. I can't wait to read the author's next book. Good Read I really enjoyed this book. Couldnât wait to get through it though... so I cheated and went through the last few chapters, really fast. Kudos to the Author. Good read I liked this book, liked the character development and story line. Just disappointed that the end kind of fizzled out. Not the big climatic who done it! It was,so hard to put down!!!! Loved your characters and story so realistic and true!!!! Would recommend to family and friends!! Can hardly wait to read more books yours anyway!! thank you so much f o r your hard work!

When Chase Ryan, a popular crime TV star, turns up dead, the entire town of Solitude is shaken - but the show isn't over yet. The confessed murderer is violently abducted on the way to the county jail, and now Detective Seth Harding must find both the killer and the kidnapper. Seth's investigation unearths unsavory secrets from the celebrity's life that incriminate a cast of suspects: Chase's family, his sleazy agent, and a fanatical stalker with a troubled thirteen-year-old daughter. When that same teen disappears from her temporary foster home, Seth's wife, social worker Carly Taylor, is drawn into the search. Dodging paparazzi and peril, Seth and Carly track the girl. But as they get closer to uncovering the truth, the abductor sets the stage for a chilling finale.... Members Reviews: Excellent suspense thriller novella! Like most of Melinda Leigh's books this Rogue Vows novella is set in the Rouge River area of rural Oregon and it is about the law enforcement Jackson family. Like her co-author of some Rogue series Kendra Elliot, Leigh knows how to write outstanding suspense mystery/thrillers. Kate Rudd narrates superbly. Good read Good follow up to book +1. Love how Melinda Leigh writes. Reading all shd wrote. Don't care that it's a novella. It's great.. You really have to read the first book to see what Cyndee and Alex/Kylie are all about. But that cant be too hard to do since book 1 only has 106 pages and this one has 114, and they are well worth the little bit of time they would take to read or listen to them. So, while Zane and Stevie are on their honeymoon Seth and Carly are transferring Toby, surviving a car crash, trying to chase down Cyndee and trying to protect Alex, Cyndees daughter. Its all very exciting. Again, NO sex, and the F-bomb was used 6 times. As to the narration: Yelling, laughing, whispering, grumbling, male or female, KR is fabulous. Someone is playing with fire Good little novella which was well told and had a few of Melindas little twists and no hero /heroine danger spots. Classically simple and that's what I like about this author. A little too many I love you's this time, for my liking , but so what !!!
