On Easter Sunday morning, the city of Boston is struck by a widespread and coordinated series of terrorist attacks: an explosion in the T, a suicide bomber at Back Bay Police Station, and heavily armed gunmen taking hostages at the Patriot Hotel. For robotics innovator Louis Massina, aka the Puppet Master, this is far more personal than a savage act of political terrorism. Boston is his city - and one of his employees, Chelsea Goodman, is among the hostages facing certain death. As Chelsea fights from the inside, Massina leads his team of tech geniuses at Smart Metal to deploy every bot, drone, and cyber weapon at their disposal to defeat the fanatics and save his city and friend. That's step one. Step two: find the twisted mastermind behind the attacks and make him pay.

They've begun to remove the people who stand in their way - and replace them with their own sympathizers and puppets. They've already taken out the Speaker of the House - whose death was made to look like an accidental drowning - and the president and vice president are next. Once they have their own people in place, they plan to start a bloody, brutal war on an unimaginable scale. On restricted duty while he recovers from injuries incurred on a previous mission, Dewey Andreas is sent to Paris by CIA director Hector Calibrisi. The Secretary of State is going there for secret talks, and Dewey is to be an extra layer of security above the State Department team. But what should be an easy mission couldn't go more wrong. The cabal has sent in a hit man to take out the Secretary of State and lay the blame for this murder at the feet of Dewey himself. With the Secretary of State dead, shot by Dewey's weapon, Dewey is on the run and out in the cold, desperately trying to unravel the plot before the conspirators succeed in killing millions of innocents. Members Reviews: Where is Peter Hermann? I am a huge Dewey Andreas fan and a bigger fan of Peter Hermann portraying the character. I waited a long time for the next installment in the series only to be sorely disappointed. Jay Snyder is not the voice of Dewey. I was also underwhelmed with the predictable story and the equally predictable foreshadowing into the next installment. This book did not have the intrigue of previous books nor the humor that makes Dewey lovable for a killer. Jay Snyder show become familiar with nomenclatures The story over all was okay. I like this series so I liked this book. I would listen to it again hands down. My only real complaint is Jay Snyder. He reads really well, has a wild and accurate range of accents and makes genders believable. My issue is he doesn't seem to have a strong grasp on military nomenclatures. Deweys 1911A1 is once again used but instead of saying "19 11 A1", Snyder said "1-9-1-1-A-1" throughout the book. It was like nails on a chalk board to me. There were other things as well but that one stuck out. Another great Ben Coes book What did you love best about Trap the Devil? Too bad the narration is so lousy- I couldn't finish the audible version of the book. What didnt you like about Jay Snyders performance? Overly dramatic, lousy Dewey voice- totally unbelievable. This is the last time I'll purchase any Audible book with this narrator. Dissatisfied with the narration It's too bad they used a different narrator. He just did not bring Dewey to life like the rest of the books. Thanks Just OK...why new narrator? I'm a huge Ben Coes/Dewey Andreas fan! I look forward to every new release. I now realize that part of the excellence in this series was Peter Hermann...his ability to create characters with their style and speech patterns made the plots come to life. Jay Snyder is ok...but his narration somehow cheapened the plot and made the characters shallow and predictable. Ugh. It's a good story...sort of a flashback of Dewey...but the narration made it feel like a dull echo of a once interesting story.

A terrorist drives an explosive-packed rental truck into Major Brooke Grant's Washington, DC wedding, intending to detonate a deadly bomb. Saved by a last-minute fluke, Brooke seeks revenge against the master terrorist responsible, an international radical Islamist known only as the Falcon, who is determined to murder her, bring America to its knees, and create a modern-day caliphate. An unorthodox, newly sworn-in president recruits Brooke to join a clandestine CIA team in pursuit of the Falcon. With help from an odd coupling - a Saudi intelligence officer and an Israeli Mossad agent - Brooke goes after her elusive zealot nemesis. But before the trio can close in on their target, they discover that America's worst nightmare has come true.

Title: The Switch Subtitle: A Novel Author: Joseph Finder Narrator: Steven Kearney Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 54 mins Language: English Release date: 06-13-17 Publisher: Penguin Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 469 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Political Publisher's Summary: A simple mix-up throws one innocent man into the crosshairs of sinister government secrets and ruthless political ambitions in New York Times best-selling author Joseph Finder's timely, electrifying new thriller. Michael Tanner is on his way home from a business trip when he accidentally picks up the wrong MacBook in an airport security line. He doesn't notice the mix-up until he arrives home in Boston, but by then it's too late. Tanner's curiosity gets the better of him when he discovers that the owner is a US senator and that the laptop contains top secret files. When Senator Susan Robbins realizes she's come back with the wrong laptop, she calls her young chief of staff, Will Abbott, in a panic. Both know that the senator broke the law by uploading classified documents onto her personal computer. If those documents wind up in the wrong hands, it could be Snowden 2.0 - and her career in politics will be over. She needs to recover the MacBook before it's too late. When Will fails to gain Tanner's cooperation, he is forced to take measures to retrieve the laptop before a bigger security breach is revealed. He turns to an unscrupulous "fixer" for help. In the meantime the security agency whose files the senator has appropriated has its own methods, darker still - and suddenly Tanner finds himself a hunted man, on the run, terrified for the safety of his family, in desperate need of a plan, and able to trust no one. Members Reviews: Stupid, Frustrated, Disapointed I have read most, if not all, of Joseph Finder's available Audible books. He was a great find a few years ago. I read many of his books in a row, one right after another. And enjoyed each. So I pre-ordered this one, expecting nothing less. However, the characters in The Switch are SO annoying. They make stupid choices, that in today's technologically savvy world leave even the least computer literate person frustrated. The narration is fine, and I like the writing style, so I tried to stay with the story, but each implausible character decision would lead you right out of the story, shaking your head, and screaming how could you be so stupid to do that Like a horror movie, dont go into that dark cave alone. Unbelievable characters like this lead me to stop listening to Lisa Scottline. If you like her books, then you will probably like this one. But now me. I am disappointed with the author, not audible, so I will not return the book, and might try to pick it up again, in a moment of desperation for something new to read. And I might try another of his books. But for now I will ditch The Switch. Not the best Joseph Finder What would have made The Switch better? This story was not clever or suspenseful. This was a very basic story. Would you ever listen to anything by Joseph Finder again? I like Joseph Finder's Nick Heller Series. As long as those keep coming I will listen. How could the performance have been better? Performance by Steven Kearney is always top notch. If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from The Switch? I would do a total re-write. I am really struggling through the book. I keep feeling like I am waiting for someone in this book to do something. What? I am not sure. Any additional comments? I really like the author's Nick Heller series. This book does not compare. It seemed drawn out in parts for no reason.

Title: First Counsel Subtitle: Booktrack Edition Author: Brad Meltzer Narrator: Scott Brick Format: Unabridged Length: 14 hrs and 52 mins Language: English Release date: 05-23-17 Publisher: Hachette Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 110 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Political Publisher's Summary: First Counsel: Booktrack Edition adds an immersive musical soundtrack to your audiobook listening experience! White House lawyer Michael Garrick has a relatively anonymous position at a very public address. That is until he starts dating Nora Harston (Secret Service code name: Shadow), the sexy and dangerously irresistible daughter of the president. But the confident young attorney thinks he can handle the pressure. Until, out on a date, Nora and Michael see something they shouldn't. To protect her, he admits to something he shouldn't. And when a body is discovered and Michael is the suspected killer, he finds himself on the run. Now, in a world where power is an aphrodisiac and close friends carry guns and are under strict orders to risk their lives, Michael must find a way to prove his innocence. Booktrack is an immersive format that pairs traditional audiobook narration and complementary music. The tempo and rhythm of the score are in perfect harmony with the action and characters throughout the audiobook. Gently playing in the background, the music never overpowers or distracts from the narration so that listeners can enjoy every minute. When you purchase this Booktrack edition, you receive the exact narration as the traditional audiobook available, with the addition of music throughout. Members Reviews: Less is more... The story was ok, the president's daughter was a little far fetched...and what the main character put up with from her was on the verge of unbelievable. What I found to be annoying was the additional sound effects added...crowd noises, phones ringing, driving in a car-doors slamming, very distracting and took away from the intensity of Scott Brick's performance (which is always stellar!) Music and sound effect: Bad idea! The musical background was distracting. Scott Brick is a GREAT narrator but the music took away from his delivery. Interesting character development but this is one book I'd suggest reading rather than listening to. Good plot The plot is good with great twists. The summery said that the music in the back ground isnt distracting, humm I had a very hard time listening to this book. Maybe its just me but the sound effects were very distracting which made it very hard to follow the story line. Terrible book a waste of money wish I pick something else The protagonist was the dumbest who was the most clueless individual and a shallow character. Another good one Really liked the plot. Always learn more from Meltzers books then anything else. Good plot. Good setting.

Television correspondent Alix Phillips dodges bullets and breaks rules to bring the most important news to the world - from riots in America to protests on the streets of Tehran. With her daughter in college, and working alongside cameraman Ben Chapman, a deeply private ex-Navy SEAL, Alix revels in the risks and whirlwind pace of her work. But her latest assignment puts her at the center of an explosive story that will reshape many lives, including her own: investigating damning allegations involving the vice president of the United States, Tony Clark. Alix starts with a nationally revered woman who may be the key to exposing frightening secrets. Olympia Foster is the fragile, reclusive widow of America's most admired senator, who had been destined for the presidency before an assassin's bullet felled him. Since then Olympia has found emotional support from Clark, who once wanted her as his wife and now stands as her protector and confidant. When Alix begins to dig deeper, federal agents pick up the trail. Then the threats begin. As the stakes rise in this dangerous game, Alix needs Ben's help as never before. And soon they realize they are grappling with an adversary far more sinister than they had imagined. Members Reviews: Amazing Book I absolutely love Danielle Steel. She is my favorite author. This book just came out 3 days ago and I finished it in 2 days. Great Book. Now I have to wait 2 more months for her next book. Starts Strong and Interesting-Ending Dies Flat Potentially a very interesting story that could have been exciting and thrilling to the end. Unfortunately, the plot and results become very predictable. Not really worth the investment of time to complete. Dangerous Games A mystery involving a high ranking politician who thought the world owed him everything and the reporter who unraveled him story and was responsible for his demise. Its Just Over Love Danielle Steel But this one felt unfinished... hurries at the end, just to be done with it worst book, EVER!!!! don't waste your money . Not worst book ever!!!! Do not waste your money!!!! very very slow. I have read our listened to all of her books, this one is crap.

The Armageddon File Audiobook by Stephen Coonts

Title: The Armageddon File Subtitle: Tommy Carmellini, Book 8 Author: Stephen Coonts Narrator: Eric G. Dove Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 31 mins Language: English Release date: 11-06-17 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 61 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Political Publisher's Summary: The next exciting thriller from New York Times bestselling author Stephen Coonts! After one of the most contentious and divisive elections in American history, the new president is finally settling into the West Wing. But when his chief of staff discovers evidence that voting machines in key counties in swing states were tampered with, the whole administration is in danger of unraveling. Did someone steal the election? Are America's enemies involved? Were the tampered-with machines actually rigged to swing the election the other way - and if so and the plot failed, what is the conspirators' backup plan? Jake Grafton and Tommy Carmellini race to solve the mystery of a potentially stolen election before Americans' faith in our democracy, sovereignty, and federal government become completely undone. Members Reviews: If you disliked Coonts' Liberty's Last Stand,... ...you should probably skip The Armageddon File. This is the 18th book in the Jake Grafton series and Tommy Carmellini series combined. All have had Jake Grafton as a leading character. The Armageddon File deals with the theory that the 2016 US presidential election was rigged by an 89 year old very wealthy political progressive who was born and grew up in Europe for the Democrat to win. The mechanism was to be altering voting machine software in key districts in states that appeared to be close. The rigging was done but the Republican candidate won anyway. In order to keep news of the rigging leaking out all people directly involved were to be assassinated by assassins hired by the old man. Stephen Coonts changes the names of all of the important bad guys, but each is recognizable. Jake Grafton from his position in the CIA sends Tommy Carmellini out to resolve the issues and stop the killings. The FBI is, to put it overly kindly, very unhelpful. Liberty's Last Stand was very political in its criticisms of leading Democrats. This novel is no less politically partisan. The very talented Eric G. Dove does a great job of narration. Not his best offering
Stephen Coonts is my favourite author, but this book was written without the continuity found in his other books. Oddly enough I believe his last book was one of his best. This book seemed to have been rushed, perhaps to meet a deadline. The characters and story line lacked the depth of his previous work. This is by no means a bad book, it's just the holding it up to the light of his previous work, I found it wanting. I'm sure his next offering will be as entertaining as ever. Great story, based on now days reality One more time Tommy Carmelinni safe this country with Jake Grafton orders and his own wicked sense of humor. Finally is logical explanation of voting machines manipulations and very incidental globalization of this wander in Greece election and (not covered in a story) election in France. Almost great. Still a good book. loved every minute of it. the ending was cut short I feel. My favorite pair Tommy and Sarah actually started out together and ended this story together. The Tommy Carmellini series is the best by far. Can't wait for the next one! lastly Eric G. Dove is my man! My favorite narrator! A possible senario to current events The author does and excellence job with with taking current events and telling a plausible story.

Watson Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 10 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Political Publisher's Summary: What does the US government do when they run out of money? They seize the assets of hardworking Americans and count on the fact that most citizens will never stand up for their rights. However, Joshua Anderson, a logger by trade and small business owner, is not the typical American citizen. When the government threatens his family and attempts to steal his assets, Joshua is forced into hiding. The government thought that Joshua would be an easy mark. They thought that they could easily find him, arrest him, and bury him, so no one would ever know what they are doing. They thought that no one would ever support a "criminal". They thought wrong. The only way to stop tyranny is to rise and stand against the corruption. In what will forever be known as the Bonner Incident, Joshua battles for the rights of every American.

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 16 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Political Publisher's Summary: "In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way." - FDR Critically acclaimed thriller author Bobby Akart returns to the Boston Brahmin series with pause-resisting action and timely political intrigue seemingly ripped from today's current events in Patriot's Farewell, a Boston Brahmin political thriller. After a devastating cyber attack brought America to its knees, a reluctant hero emerged. A humble professor whose lineage dated back to the American Revolution. Responding to the battle cry, "Choose freedom," patriotic Americans rallied around their new president, Henry Winthrop Sargent IV, "Sarge" to his friends. As his administration worked to rebuild the nation, Sarge called upon his closest friends, the Loyal Nine, to use their skills and resources to assist him. The nation, except for four states which seceded after the collapse, stood behind Sarge and his administration during his first term, which focused on rebuilding the country. But as his second term in office comes to an end, the nation is still divided, and the drumbeats of war can be heard from the other side of the world. The Boston Brahmin, a shadowy group of wealthy and politically connected financiers whose roots date back to the Sons of Liberty, still look to Sarge as their leader, but storm clouds are brewing, and Sarge will find himself in the crosshairs of a power struggle. Can Sarge bring a divided nation together before he leaves office? Can a rebuilding military face off against a major superpower? Will Sarge survive a betrayal from within the Boston Brahmin? Filled with non-stop action and political intrigue, Bobby Akart's return to the Boston Brahmin series with Patriot's Farewell promises a fast-paced thrill ride. Author's note: Patriot's Farewell does not contain strong language. It is intended to entertain and inform audiences of all ages, including teen and young adults. Members Reviews: Akart does it again! From start to finish this was an outstanding addition to the Boston Brahmin series. Terrific read! Always delivers excitement, intrigue, spiritual and some education. Huge, fan of the Boston brahmin series. Would love for the series to carry on after the White House... Always delivers excitement, intrigue, spiritual aspects and some education. Thank you, for always a great read or listen. Great book I hope the story continues, but it sounds like you set it up for that

America is coming apart. An illegal immigration crisis has broken out along America's Southern border, there are race riots in Detroit, a fiery female rancher-turned-militia leader has vowed revenge on the president for his arrogant policies, and the world's most notorious terrorist is planning a massive attack that could destroy the United States as we know it. Meanwhile the president is too consumed by legacy-seeking to see our country's deep peril. Brett Hawthorne is the youngest general in the United States Army - and he's stuck, alone, behind enemy lines in Afghanistan. He's the last lost soldier of a failed war, fighting to stay alive and make it back home - but will he be able to stop the collapse of America in time? Members Reviews: Great story; horrible narrator Ben Shapiro's first novel was engaging and well written. Here's hoping there is a sequel in the works. Unfortunately, the narrator is one of the worst I've heard. Character portrayals were average but his voice when serving as the narrator was awful and distracting. Doubtful @ 5 minutes, stopped listening at 45. With lots of special effects it could make 'another one of those movies', but as a book it is a disappointment to me. Ben Shapiro is brilliant, insightful, a tenacious bull dog in real life. He is a hero. But his fiction is not up to those high standards. And where is the editing? Consistency, story line, plot, narrative. Way too much narrative for background in the middle of improbable action scenes. Narrator didn't have a terrific script to work with, and couldn't make it anything better. I returned the book for credit. Good story, but I stopped listening to the book several times as I found it difficult listening to the narrator's voice. In my humble opinion it is better suited for a children's book. That said I look forward to the next book, hopefully with a different narrator. Gripping story, intriguing perspective! Super interesting. A little bit of rated R language, and a whole lot of rated R liberals just being liberal buffoonery. Narration was excellent. Great characterization and delivery. This book was a real treat. If Shapiro keeps this up, I will likely read every word he has ever written. This was my first exposure to him outside of YouTube and I was positively delighted! Keep 'me coming Ben! Bad story, bad Brad Thor ripoff, the worst narrator I have ever heard I have a lot of respect for Ben Shapiro. He is a strong conservative voice and a superb debater. He is not a fiction writer. This drivel is a Brad Thor ripoff taken to the most dramatic degree. As a scare tactic, maybe the book is effective. As a captivating story, it is decidedly not effective. The characters are so one dimensional in terms of their morality and ethics that I was actually reminded of Ayn Rand's characters. Don't read this book. As if it couldn't get any worse, the narrator of this book is completely unlistenable. I'll grant that he didn't have much to work with but at times his incompetence actually overshadowed the dreadfulness he was reading. Please spare us the sequel. The cash grabs Ben Shapiro does on college campuses are bad enough.

Members Reviews: Five Stars enjoyed all of them Believable One of the most believable series I have ever read. I so recommend this series. You will find yourself being so involved in all the plots. The people are so real and the emotions they experience are so everyday. And that what makes this author so fantastic. New American hero Adam Drake is a new model for a truly American hero. The writing is clear without dribble or forced dialogue. Even the slow parts keep you engaged in the action. I am already anticipating the follow-up. Great fun I enjoyed the real world threats that create the backdrop for the stories. Americans need to be aware of how vulnerable we are to terror. The characters are well developed and interesting. I really enjoyed these books. I'm on to 4 & 5.... Excellent boxed set, now on to 4 & 5. All first three books are fast and full of action. Finally, a little Drake and Liz romance...

Title: Dinner at the Center of the Earth Subtitle: A Novel Author: Nathan Englander Narrator: Mark Bramhall Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 1 min Language: English Release date: 09-05-17 Publisher: Random House Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 57 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Political Publisher's Summary: The best work yet from the Pulitzer finalist and best-selling author of For the Relief of Unbearable Urges - a political thriller that unfolds in the highly charged territory of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and pivots on the complex relationship between a secret prisoner and his guard. A prisoner in a secret cell. The guard who has watched over him a dozen years. An American waitress in Paris. A young Palestinian man in Berlin who strikes up an odd friendship with a wealthy Canadian businessman. And The General, Israel's most controversial leader, who lies dying in a hospital, the only man who knows of the prisoner's existence. From these vastly different lives, Nathan Englander has woven a powerful, intensely suspenseful portrait of a nation riven by insoluble conflict, even as the lives of its citizens become fatefully and inextricably entwined - a political thriller of the highest order that interrogates the anguished, violent division between Israelis and Palestinians and dramatizes the immense moral ambiguities haunting both sides. Who is right, who is wrong - who is the guard, who is truly the prisoner? A tour de force from one of America's most acclaimed voices in contemporary fiction. Critic Reviews: "Nathan Englander's latest is, as usual, superb: A work of psychological precision and moral force, with an immediacy that captures both timeless human truth as well as the perplexities of the present day." (Colson Whitehead) Members Reviews: So Many Roads to Peace, Blocked What does Mark Bramhall bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? I've loved many of his performances. This is one of his weakest, I think, since he doesn't seem to know Israeli pronunciations for some of what he's reading in character. Any additional comments? So, nu, how do we find peace in the Middle East? One answer, at least as Nathan Englander imagines it in this generally masterful novel, is Ariel Sharons. The General, as we meet him here, never backed down. With him it was always about killing a dozen of them for every one of ours. When the PLO killed a mother and her children in a cross-border raid, he leveled an entire village. With him, it is always go forward, but there is an end at least as Ruth, his long-time aide, believes. She sees him readying a peace bomb, a plan to produce a lasting peace that would grow out of the military mercilessness to which he gave his life. But, as is the case for most of the present-tense of this novel, he has given only half his life to that strategy. As in real life, the General suffers a debilitating stroke and remains barely alive. In his half-life, he relives much of the always-attacking nature of his life. At times, Englanders prose is incandescent here. The scene where the General relives a moment when he and a radioman were blown into the air by a bomb is worth the whole of the novel. Its horrible, gorgeous, and mystical. And unforgettable. As it turns out, then, theres no way to unleash anything like a peace bomb, no way to redeem the violence of the last generation. The most evocative sign of that stasis aside from the Generals own limbo is Ruths son, a guard assigned to look after Prisoner Z. If theres a point-of-view character who earns my sympathy, its the guard. He spends his life pursuing the request, really an order, the General made of him.

Xander Winn - a Dutchman on his own mission - mentors Charles on his voyage into the world of speculation and African politics. But a psychopathic rebel leader, the purveyors of a six-billion-dollar fraud, a team of mercenaries bent on early retirement, and the US government all get in his way. Everyone wants him dead. But Charles plans to strike it rich. Members Reviews: Speculator entertains and makes you think Great story. Very hard to put down. The characters were all exceedingly well described and I am really in a hurry to see where the author goes with them, as the series continues. Please don't make us wait too long Mr. Casey. You have a great talent for describing the world that exists beneath the perceptions of those who think that reading the newspaper is the way to know what is going on in the world. My Favorite Modern Fiction Book I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It's pace was perfect and I was on the edge of my seat. It is well narrated. It is rare that I listen to a book in such a short time. The libertarian commentary might be off putting for some but I enjoyed it and at times it was implemented in a comical way. I don't recall learning so much from a fictional book before. I learned some things about anatomy, speculation, mining companies, and found myself googling concepts I was unfamiliar with. It is the first time I encountered the term "Gamma Male". Fantastic story and great narrator! This book definitely exceeded my expectations. I love how well it blended deep economic and political themes with rich characters and a lot of action and intrigue. It was both entertaining and educational all the way to the end. Sex, guns, gold, politics, money, and most importantly, great philosophy!.....what's not to like? I've listened to a lot of books on audible, but this is the first one that I was truly sad when it was finished. I can't wait for the next one. Props to the narrator too, I never had to guess what character was speaking. Multi-accent, multi-tone, great job! Highly recommend to everyone, but I think freedom loving/liberty minded individuals/investors who reject collectivism will enjoy it most! Cheers! Excellent!!! To be honest I didn't have very high expectations for this book, but I was more then pleasantly surprised. The book is clever, intelligent and inspiring. An ideal entertainment for a capitalist adventurer. Better than Bond! Great story, good book, eager for more! I've been a fan of Doug Casey ever since reading international Man and crisis investing. he really delivers with his first novel.

Former Naval Intelligence Officer turned secret operative Jake Pendleton finds himself in a pulse-pounding race to stop a cyber-terrorist from releasing a string of the most heinous cyber-crimes the world has ever seen. Crimes that could render the world's advanced technology useless. Jake teams with his partner, Francesca Catanzaro, to track down their only lead, a white-hat hacker in Italy known only as The Jew. A man who might hold the key to stop a group of black-hat hackers from causing worldwide chaos - tag named Disruption. After a search of the hacker's flat in Rome turns up empty, Jake and Francesca follow the clues - a trail of dead bodies that leads them across Europe. Along the way, Jake discovers a possible link between recent hacks and a Malaysian airliner that mysteriously disappeared. In the final adrenaline-charged moments before Disruption, Jake and Francesca find themselves in a high-voltage race to stop these cyber terrorists from unleashing destruction against their sworn mortal enemy. Members Reviews: So Glad Jake Pendleton is back!!!! I really enjoyed the first three books in this series (Savanna Project, The Toy Maker & Breach of Power). It's been a few years and I was beginning to wonder if there was even going to be a book #4. YEAH! This is such a good book. Jake Pendleton is a combination of a few characters out there today. Ex navy, ex CIA now working for a private contractor who contracts for the CIA. He's tall, fit and can shoot and fight along with his female partner who may be more dangerous than he is. This book deals with computer hackers, both good and bad and it appears that the bad guys are winning. That is until our heroes arrive on the scene. These books don't have to be read in order but I think you get more out of them if you do. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. If you found this review helpful please indicate so. Thank You. Cyber attacks used as WMD's In this remarkable novel author Chuck Barrett makes a compelling case that cyber attacks have the potential to be used to cause disruption and death on a scale that makes them weapons of mass destruction. Disruption is a political/espionage thriller in Chuck Barrett's Jake Pendleton series. The series started with The Savannah Project when ex-navy SEAL Pendleton was an inspector for the National Transportation safety Board. By the current novel, #4 in the series, he has joined and and left the CIA and moved on to a private CIA contractor. He is partnered with an Italian lady named Francesca. This novel has lots of action and suspense. Scott Brick, the best at his craft, narrates. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! Better and Better! I'm growing more and more attached to Jake Pendleton! Disruption is a very fast paced, twisting story that made me want to finish listening in one day. Almost did it too. Definitely credit worthy. Hacking is a main theme in the story, which makes for an all too believable plot. With Scott Brick as narrator, you can't go wrong. If you enjoy a solid suspense thriller, get this one. iRead Book Tours provided a copy of this book as part of Chuck Barrett's virtual tour, but I bought the audio version.

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 198 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Political Publisher's Summary: How do the weak vanquish the powerful? America has been crippled by a false flag, cyber-attack event and martial law has been implemented across the nation. A president, desperate to hold onto power, works in conjunction with the United Nations and uses the collapse event as a way to abolish the constitutional rights of Americans. From six-time Amazon best-selling author Bobby Akart, The Mechanics continues The Boston Brahmin series into a post-apocalyptic world to show how the government uses a crisis to take away the freedoms of its citizens, and how Americans fight back to restore their Republic. It will take a committed group of patriots armed with strong survival skills and a desire for freedom to save the nation from tyranny. The Mechanics are the insurgent arm of The Loyal Nine and are well equipped to take on a stronger enemy in this post-apocalyptic world. Members Reviews: WOW! Fast paced, with action and intrigue. Sarge takes charge in his new position and the battle for freedom continues. well written and a blast to listen to! Choose Freedom!! Love the story However you owe us readers Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not? 1st half of the book was a recap of books 1-4 already paid and read them felt like I was cheated. Didn't need to buy the first 4 books. Who was your favorite character and why? Steven If this book were a movie would you go see it? yes So happy that the story continues! I am a huge fan of this series and was thrilled to find out that this book was available! Looking forward to the next book. Try Zero Hour What did you love best about The Mechanics? The story line is very compelling. And I'm certain that Bobby Akart is one of the most versatile and knowledgeable writers in prepper fiction. Any additional comments? This series has been one of my favorites, but the language is finally wearing me down. I can ignore a lot of foul language in exchange for a good story, but each books seems to get progressively worse. Amazingly the same author writes an equally exciting reasonably clean-cut book called Zero Hour. It is awesome and I'm looking forward to getting into that series. Bobby, if you are listening, don't mess it up with gratuitous language. Outstanding!! The story so parallels what is happening in the U.S. today. WOW. There were times when it seemed that I could not separate this storyline from what is currently taking place in our government. I can so see this being a reality for us. I look for to CHOOSE FREEDOM.

From best selling author Bobby Akart, The Loyal Nine is a gripping novel of an America teetering on the edge of economic and societal collapse. Political suspense collides with post-apocalyptic thriller fiction in the bestselling series - The Boston Brahmin. "A terrifyingly realistic, prescient new series ... which can only be described as prophetic." - G. Michael Hopf, best selling author of The New World Series With social unrest sweeping the country, Europe on the brink of war and the U.S. economy under siege by foreign nations, a new threat emerges. The nation is caught in the crosshairs of a power struggle between wealthy oligarchs and the political leaders who claim to have the country's best interests at heart. As the collapse events escalate, enter The Loyal Nine - direct descendants of the Founding Fathers, a modern day Knights Templar whose mission is to protect America, and the republic, from those who would inflict tyranny upon her. But will America be destroyed from within? Conditions of war are building and they do not involve bullets and bombs. There is a new battleground - cyberspace. As the country descends into decline economically and socially, will America be caught off guard by a threat never before experienced - a devastating Cyber War? Members Reviews: conflicting plot line doesn't make sense starts off a bit difficult to follow with many different characters and lines of plot. then you have 9 people that have ultimate power to mold the shape of our country comma and even select each president. and yet with all this power they select Obama? And Hillary? I call b******* and if you didn't catch that again I call b*******. they then go on to talk about preparedness for collapse of society. a collapse which I would argue that they created, if indeed they had this ultimate power. then with all their wealth that they could throw at the problem of preparedness Kama they choose to live on top of a building in the middle of a city??? Again I call b*******. no proper with reasonable options and A Fistful of money would choose to prep and stay in the middle of a city. A new twist....... What made the experience of listening to The Loyal Nine the most enjoyable? Preppers in the upper echelons of Boston society? Whodathunkit? Very good storyline with an exceptional narration. Just purchased #2 Cyberattack...... Hope everything is as good in this episode. Entire backstory book just to sell next books This book took a long time building the charaters (maybe too long), with lottle to no action to keep you entertained. I dislike books interested in selling you a series instead of telling you a story....and this one was obviously set to tell the story in the next book. It is inevitable. History repeats itself in many ways and in The Loyal Nine the repeat is staged in the here and now. You feel the pain of the country falling apart and it hurts. You feel the struggle of the ones affected by the events that unfold. This is the stage for the next book in the series and a must read. Waste of time I found this book boring, the reader flat. Overall just one big conspiracy theory. All in all a waste of time.

As one cyber-attack after another disrupts everyday life, powerful political forces and wealthy oligarchs plot the demise of the United States in Cyber Attack, Book Two in The Boston Brahmin series. A prophetic and prescient novel by best-selling author Bobby Akart (Cyber Warfare, Seeds of Liberty and Evil, Meet Opportunity), The Boston Brahmin series continues as nine patriotic Americans whose lineage dates back to the Founding Fathers prepare for the coming collapse. As the cyber-attacks intensify into a full blown cyber war between the most powerful nations on the planet, a conspiracy develops which provides cover for a President desperately seeking to extend his hold on power. Wealthy international financiers - The Boston Brahmins, exploit this weakness to their advantage in order to direct geopolitical events on the world stage. Political suspense collides with post-apocalyptic thriller fiction as Cyber Attack reveals that all empires collapse eventually and that there have been no exceptions. Members Reviews: As real as fiction can get The nation is on the brink of collapsing. Racial tensions couldnt be higher and the world is slated to be rebooted. Follow the Boston Brahmin as they attempt to take ahold of the United States future as she spirals out of control. The narration of Cyber Attack was done by Joseph Morton. Who, again does a great job. Im glad that Akart and Morton worked together on this series. The narration really helps the story move along at a quick pace. Bobby Akart has a way of writing something that you feel is so true it baffles you to find out that its not. The way that he weaves fiction and non-fiction makes Cyber Attack a terrifying thriller. The politics were heavy in Cyber Attack, but wading through all of that there is still a great story being built up here. I feel like Ive been strapped to the side of the rocket and Im just waiting until the countdown reaches zero. Cyber Attack definitely brought me closer to lift-off, and I think that from here its going to be non-stop action mixed in with some political process as the nation rebuilds after an imminent attack. The cyber attacks were by far my favorite parts of this book, I actually started it the day that there was a real cyber attack on the DNS servers across the US and World. The name was just too perfect not to! The cyber attack scenes are written so well that you feel like these attacks have been performed by Akart himself. Overall, Cyber Attack is one of those books that both people who love politics and ones who like action will enjoy. I cannot wait to see where this series goes. I was provided a free copy of this book by the author. Bob @ Platypire Reviews *I received a copy of this for an honest review* So, this is close enough to being a feasible reality that it makes me a little nervous haha. This one has a lot of information mixed in, so you have to pay attention, but quite good. Moving on to the next in the coming weeks Bob says: 3.5-4 stars Another great listen by Bobby Akart! If you enjoy suspense, combined with geopolitical thrillers, and prepper fiction, buy this book! You won't be disappointed. There's action, great character development, history, and even romance in the latest installment of The Boston Brahmin Series! Slow moving plot Slow, and drawn out.

Null States Audiobook by Malka Older

Title: Null States Subtitle: The Centenal Cycle, Book 2 Author: Malka Older Narrator: Christine Marshall Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 11 mins Language: English Release date: 09-19-17 Publisher: Macmillan Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 11 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Political Publisher's Summary: Null States continues Campbell Award finalist Malka Older's Centenal Cycle: the politically charged science fiction trilogy that began with Infomocracy. The future of democracy is about to implode. After the last controversial global election, the global infomocracy that has ensured 30 years of world peace is fraying at the edges. As the new Supermajority government struggles to establish its legitimacy, agents of information across the globe strive to keep the peace and maintain the flows of data that feed the new world order. In the newly incorporated DarFur, a governor dies in a fiery explosion. In Geneva, a superpower hatches plans to bring microdemocracy to its knees. In Central Asia, a sprawling war among archaic states threatens to explode into a global crisis. And across the world, a shadowy plot is growing, threatening to strangle Information with the reins of power. Members Reviews: Micro-democracy or bust Tor did a good deed in November 8 2016, by introducing me to Malka Olderâs Infomocracy. It provided a powerful anodyne to the surreal US election results. Better than binge drinking, but addictive as crack too. I was so wowed my M. Olderâs ambitious novel and ideas of micro-democracy in an action- packed globe-trotting mind filling thriller of a book, that I just could not wait for the sequel Null States, and since she was not anywhere near Fl. (when she was doing publicity for her new novel) I just had to score an advanced readerâs copy on Ebay. Now with my addiction fulfilled... I must say that the 2nd book is even better than the 1st! Null States fills in the gaps of Infomocracy. A null state always worries a researcher because they have no data about that subject and in M. Olderâs world it serves double duty as it is a state beyond the micro-democracyâs world view and bounds. An information plot driven problem and mystery that goes directly to the authorâs strengths as both a researcher and international aid worker. To make sure she gets paid, I also pre-ordered the eBook. It was that good. Now I have got to figure out how to get my book autographed, and wait for the third act. Infomocracy was nominated for a Campbell award, Null States deserves the same or better. Outstanding I purchased a copy of this book for personal use. Null States continues the storyline Malka Older inaugurated in Infomocracy, where a substantial number of the worldâs countries have adopted microdemocracy, a system based on groupings of 100,000 citizens called centenals. Centenal governments include easily recognizable proxies for existing conservative, liberal, green, corporate, and national entities. This book, Olderâs second novel, is a well-written near-future thriller with action that ranges throughout the world, encompassing states that adopted microdemocracy and those that did not. One hallmark of microdemocracy is the adoption of Information, a version of the contemporary Internet that includes easy access to fact-checked information and video feeds from almost every public area within the system. Countries, or segments of countries, that chose not to adopt microdemocracy are called null states. As the bookâs title suggests, the action in Olderâs sequel includes states that chose to stay outside Informationâs coverage. Middle of the Action The action starts in a city within a centenal within the DarFur region of the former Sudan.

He and his partner, Randi Brooks, earn their living making the problems of the powerful disappear. They get their biggest job yet when the White House hires them to vet the president's nominee for the Supreme Court. Judge Roland Madison is a legal giant, but he's a political maverick, with views that might make the already tricky confirmation process even more difficult. Rena and his team go full-bore to cover every inch of the judge's past, while the competing factions of Washington, DC, mobilize with frightening intensity: ambitious senators, garrulous journalists, and wily power players on both sides of the aisle. All of that becomes background when a string of seemingly random killings overlaps with Rena's investigation, with Judge Madison a possible target. Racing against the clock to keep his nominee safe, the president satisfied, and the political wolves at bay, Rena learns just how dangerous Washington's obsession with power - how to get it and how to keep it - can be. Written with razor-sharp political insight and heart-pounding action, Shining City is a hugely impressive debut that announces a major new talent. Members Reviews: Great read Perfect for what is going on in DC today Very fast and fun story. First rate. A great read! Where does Shining City rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? One of the very best. Who was your favorite character and why? Raina and Brooks were believable. What does David Colacci bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? His narrative was just right. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? Not really Any additional comments? Highly recommend it for its timely topic. Just ok I'm not giving this a big thumbs up, although it was suspenseful and entertaining. The narrator definitely was a disappointment. Awful with female voices, a bit slow in the reading.

Jack Anderson, the newly elected, optimistic President of the United States finds his political agenda put on hold when 15 American naval officers unexpectedly seize control of a USS-Ohio-class nuclear submarine. In possession of the most formidable war machine ever created, carrying enough nuclear weapons to destroy every major city in the Middle East, the mutineers form a new terrorist organization that threatens to attack militant Islamists and their supporters around the world. In a race against time, the FBI and the US military try to stop the deciphered missile launch codes from reaching the nuclear submarine and unravel a conspiracy that permeates the very foundations of the US government. Replete with sophisticated characters, international intrigue, murder and mayhem, Rage confronts radical Islamic terrorism with a new western form of itself that threatens the entire world order. Members Reviews: Justice is finally served!!!!! I read the hard cover when it first came out and loved it. When I realized Rage had an audio version it I jumped on it and listened to it all in one day. I loved the unpredictable twists that seemed concurrent with the day's breaking news. I appreciated Mr Raffill's explanation and justifications for the actions, thoughts and beliefs of the characters. These words deepened the reality of the story due to the talent of the narrator and other variety of readers. The music was added bonus and helped the listeners fully appreciate the action. I have recommended this to all my friends and expect to discuss it with them in the future. Rage Nails the times we live in right on the head! Its as if Stewart Raffill had a time machine and he was able to see into the future of where the world is heading. This political thriller will keep you on the edge of your seat and wanting more. The characters are richly woven into the very real fabric of what politics feels like today. Without ruining any of the story I can tell you that this apocalyptic scenario that weaves through the book is thrilling and terrifying all at the same time. This is not a paint by numbers thriller. Mr. Raffill takes us on a rollercoaster ride that I pray never happens in our country but the entire time I was reading the book I felt his words could happen. I can only hope that Donald Trump does not read this book because he would take elements of it and use it as a disaster of a road map for the troubles our world is in today. I highly recommend this book. Brilliant and Compelling Political Thriller What made the experience of listening to Rage the most enjoyable? I particularly enjoyed the multiple voices and the music. So often audible books are performed by just one narrator, but with Rage you have both male and female voices who make the storytelling much more interesting. It is easier to follow the characters when the story is told by different readers. What did you like best about this story? It is a fast paced political thriller with multiple twists and turns. With believable, well-developed characters and a plot that is as up-to-date as today's headlines, the reader is propelled into a world where frustration and rage lead to extreme measures. It is as unpredictable as it is compelling. THRILLING!! What did you love best about Rage? This book kept me on the edge of my seat.

Title: The Only Café Author: Linden MacIntyre Narrator: Greg Campbell Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 33 mins Language: English Release date: 09-13-17 Publisher: Penguin Random House Canada Ratings: 2 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Political Publisher's Summary: Scotiabank Giller prize-winner Linden MacIntyre is back with a timely and gripping novel in which a son tries to solve the mystery of his father's death - a man who tried but could not forget a troubled past in his native Lebanon. Pierre Cormier had secrets. Though he married twice and became a high-flying lawyer and a father, he didn't let anyone really know him. And he was especially silent about what had happened to him in Lebanon, the country he fled during civil war to come to Canada as a refugee. When, in the midst of a corporate scandal, he went missing after his boat exploded, his teenage son Cyril didn't know how to mourn him. But five years later, a single bone and a distinctive gold chain are recovered, and Pierre is at last declared dead. Which changes everything. At the reading of the will, it turns out that instead of a funeral, Pierre wanted a "roast" at a bar no one knew he frequented - The Only Café in Toronto's east end. He'd even left a guest list that included one mysterious name: Ari. Cyril, now working as an intern for a major national newsroom and assisting on reporting a story on homegrown terrorism, tracks down Ari at the bar and finds out that he is an Israeli who knew his father in Lebanon in the '80s. Who is Ari? What can he reveal about what happened to Pierre in Lebanon? Is Pierre really dead? Can Ari even be trusted? Soon Cyril's personal investigation is entangled in the larger news story, all of it twining into a fabric of lies and deception that stretches from contemporary Toronto back to the massacre at the Sabra and Shatila camps in Lebanon in September 1982. The Only Café is both a moving mystery and an illuminating exploration of how the traumatic past, if left unexamined, shadows every moment of the present. Critic Reviews: "The Only Café will transfix you with its disquieting and cautionary narrative.... [J]udicious and expertly timed.... The Only Café's elegant prose attains a lyrical quality.... [A] testament to MacIntyre's dexterity as a storyteller." (The Globe and Mail) "[S]pare, propulsive and rich in observational detail and dialogue.... MacIntyre's journalism training and experience...allow him to explore Lebanon's labyrinthine, multi-factional civil war with authority and compassion." (James Grainger, author of Harmless, Toronto Star) Members Reviews: An excellent book! I received a free electronic copy of this novel from Netgalley, Linden MacIntyre, and Random House Canada in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for sharing your hard work with me. This is a very intense read, based on truths buried in rhetoric in a Middle East westerners cannot know nor understand. Linden MacIntyre comes very close to making it real for us. This is a book I would read again after a period of digestion, and would share with my loved ones. Again, thank you.

Title: Choose Freedom Subtitle: The Boston Brahmin, Book 6 Author: Bobby Akart Narrator: Joseph Morton Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 45 mins Language: English Release date: 10-05-16 Publisher: Bobby Akart Inc. Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 179 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Political Publisher's Summary: When faced with the tough choices necessary to preserve our nation's ideals, I say we choose freedom! With those words, the new American patriots, The Loyal Nine, operating under the specter of their forefathers, undertook the impossible - defeating the tyranny which infected their own government. From eight-time Amazon bestselling author Bobby Akart, Choose Freedom concludes The Boston Brahmin series as the battle to preserve America's freedoms expands across the nation. But first, The Loyal Nine must resolve conflicts between themselves. An old friend arrives and takes up the fight as the insurgency movement of The Mechanics continues. The president is firmly entrenched in a "third term", and he uses his new allies, a globalist-sponsored Army in the form of the UN Peacekeeping forces to quash dissent. For freedom-loving patriots, a martyr is remembered, a leader is born, and Americans come together under the battle cry - Choose freedom! Members Reviews: Great series! Would make a great TV series, very entertaining and exciting. Left us wanting book 7 in the series... thank you great series..... kept flowing nicely! would recommend this book to anyone! hope to read more of his work good luck !! Another great listen, but seemed a little rushed Another great listen! My only complaint is that this book seems to tie up some story lines that could have morphed into their own book in the series. Being that I love this series so much, it was a touch disappointing that these stories got wrapped up in a quick explanation, instead of in their own story. But all in all a great listen and a great series! Excellent ending to a tremendous series! Where does Choose Freedom rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? Choose Freedom is one of the best books I've listened to and I've probably listened to 30 or so survival type books, most of the 3+ book series. This is right up there at the top. Great finish to a series, just sad that it's over! What was one of the most memorable moments of Choose Freedom? Finding out that Drew hadn't been killed without at doubt!! Which character as performed by Joseph Morton was your favorite? Steven & Sarge were pretty close. It's hard to argue against Sarge given he's the most central character and he's in one extra book. But I thought the character of Steven being the military bad-ass with a sense of humor and his obvious love for his brother was great, so I'd probably have to give him the nod. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? Again, finding out that Drew hadn't been killed....I admit, I teared up! lol Any additional comments? This was just a fantastic series. The character development was sensational and by the time you get to Choose Freedom, you feel like you know these characters like those in your favorite TV show. The story line and development was spectacular and the use of current events along with so much history was very educational and made you feel like this could actually be happening right now! Excellent Series! This series is somewhat timely and seems oddly relevant to the current political climate. With the way this book ends I am anxious to see if there will be a book 7, 8, and more.

The sinister revelation in his documentary unleashed a torrent of both anger and support for the president. America is a country tearing at the seams. Spending time with his love and hoping to be just a spectator in a convention deciding the future of the republic, Chandler is thrust into plots threatening to undermine the executive branch of government and ultimately the entire country. Along the way, he must be a bridge between groups on opposite sides of the political spectrum - groups whose help he needs. His mentors also lend a hand, though they bring him unexpected news. The frenetic pace of events only heightens Chandler's doubts about what is real and what is not. Can he overcome his doubts and save the country? Division is the third book in the Chandler Scott thriller series. The series promises to make you reflect on the world around you. Members Reviews: Division A frightening, peek into the near future! The book does work as a stand alone but my reading of the first book in the Chandler series enhanced my enjoyment of the read. The date for the proposed American election, postponed in the first book now looms in a country close to losing control. Many states are demanding succession, the economic policy is failing, people are rioting and computor hackers have the power to hold the country to ransom. As British reader the Brexit vote, the autherity policies and the recent hacking of the National Health Service makes the vision for the future a frightening posibilty. An American reader or someone who follows American politics would understand the details better but the overall message is universal. To save the country fron slipping into civil unrest Chandler must broker a deal between the established leaders and the new forces at the same time as making new friends, strenthening existing relationships and losing a trusted advisor. A fast paced, imaginative read I'd recommend to fans of political thrillers.

The Camel Club Audiobook by David Baldacci

Title: The Camel Club Author: David Baldacci Narrator: Jonathan Davis Format: Unabridged Length: 16 hrs and 9 mins Language: English Release date: 11-16-17 Publisher: Macmillan Digital Audio Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Political Publisher's Summary: The Camel Club by best-selling sensation David Baldacci is the exciting first instalment of a breathtaking series. The man known as Oliver Stone has no official past. He spends most days camped opposite the White House, hoping to expose corruption wherever he finds it. But the stakes are raised when he and his friends, a group of conspiracy theorist misfits known as The Camel Club, accidentally witness the murder of an intelligence analyst. Especially when the authorities are seemingly happy to write it off as a suicide. For Secret Service agent Alex Ford, monitoring the 'investigation', the suicide verdict doesn't ring true. As punishment for sticking his nose where it doesn't belong, he is reassigned to bodyguard duties. His abilities are tested to the limit when he is sent to protect the President during a visit to his hometown, where a terrorist cell has spent months plotting an event that will shake the world. Meanwhile, America's powerful intelligence chief Carter Gray is unnerved when he glimpses the face of an old acquaintance in Arlington Cemetery - but it is the face of a man supposedly long dead.... And as The Camel Club is poised to expose a conspiracy that reaches into the heart of Washington's highly secretive corridors of power, Alex Ford finds out that his worst nightmare is about to happen.... The Camel Club is followed by The Collectors, Stone Cold, Divine Justice and Hell's Corner. Members Reviews: Superb story; small hiccups. I believe I've heard the majority of David Baldacci's novels by now. At least the ones available through Audible. I've found them all very entertaining and most of them engrossing. I have only one small niggle and that is one to do with the 'performance' of the majority of the Readers. Without exception the American pronunciation of certain English words have me shouting at the speakers.. Shone, notched and the like are typical. It's not a big complaint or even an important one to the majority of listeners but my History in English Grammar, Literature and Pronunciation makes me, perhaps, a little picky. Despite this little niggle I can thoroughly recommend all of David's books. The Series in particular never fail entertain. slow start but picks up nicely It was a bit of a slow start but the story developed nicely. An enjoyable listen.

The Boston Brahmin series continues as much of America is thrust into bedlam and upheaval following a vicious cyber-attack on the country's critical infrastructure. A president, with an election looming as his second term nears an end, conspires with the wealthy and politically powerful Boston Brahmin to bring the country to its knees. While ordinary Americans struggle for survival, others demand answers. A centuries old cadre of Bostonians with roots dating back to the Founding Fathers, are forced to face the tough questions including: Is this the result of a false flag, or is it for the greater good? Political suspense collides with post-apocalyptic thriller fiction as Martial Law, book three in The Boston Brahmin series reveals that all empires collapse eventually and that there have been no exceptions. Members Reviews: I'm hooked! I am hooked, can't wait to read the next one! This series has everything a good apocalyptic series should have! Beans, Bullets, & Bandages!!! Fantastic shtf fiction crossed with todays events If you could sum up Martial Law in three words, what would they be? Gripping , Entertaining, Current Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How? Absolutely , it's not the usual shtf scenario and it seems that any character at anytime is expendable . Very gripping story. Which character as performed by Joseph Morton was your favorite? Steven and Sarge he does an excellent job on both characters as well as the rest of the cast. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? Parts will make you laugh , the last time I cried was about 40 years ago lol. Any additional comments? Bobby Akart is fast becoming one of the premier authors in my opinion . His non-fiction and his fiction series are well worth the investment of time and money , very factual and extremely entertaining. I can only see him growing in his abillity as an author and now as along with some of my other favorite authors it's with great anticipation that I wait for his next release . The tiniest spark can light an inferno Bobby Akart understands his demographic and boy did he ever write a book aimed right at them. Ive been a fan of Bobbys books for a while now, and this one was no different. Martial Law had a lot going on in it and was the first book in the series where things start to hit the fan. Martial Law is the third book in the Boston Brahmin series, and as I mentioned above, is the first apocalyptic book. Its still before and during an event (or events) and shows what the members of the elite Boston Brahmin are doing to prepare and stay safe. You can tell that Bobby had a series-wide story arc in mind when writing this series especially after you finish Martial Law. The first two books set this one up, and this one will definitely set up everything that is to come. The Boston Brahmin will fight on. The actual attack (though there isnt a ton of information around it) is incredibly realistic and well thought out. As were the interactions with the everyday normal neighbors.

Love the story, characters and performance. The narration was equal to, or maybe even a little better than the actual book. Kudos on getting a proper reader (unlike in The Cain series). I will finish off Ryan's published works and maybe he'll have another one off by the time I have read/listened to A Dangerous Man. Great work.

Stone and his colleagues Reuben, Milton and Caleb marshal all their resources to protect Annabelle. Yet all their skills may not be enough when a deadly new opponent rips off the veneer of Stone's own mysterious past: Bagger's menace pales next to newcomer Harry Finn's lethality. Passing as a normal family man, Finn has already killed three men, with more targets to come.

As bodies and institutions topple, the story rockets toward a shattering finale that will leave the survivors of this explosive tale changed forever.

The quirky, loveable (really, I love them!) characters of the Camel Club see us through lots of intrigue and machinations. I could not put down this story, wanting the evil ones to be thwarted and the heroic goodies to prevail. Ron McLarty excels in his narration and delivers good and bad news superbly. Please write the sequel to this one, Mr B!! Average but ok Average but ok. As an avid listener of davids books this one is not so intense or detailed as many of his others. If you were to read this I would say it was easy reading, so easy listening. Not so captivating till the end as his others but still worth a listen

Title: Access to Power Author: Robert Ellis Narrator: Andrew Tell Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 23 mins Language: English Release date: 12-02-16 Publisher: Robert Ellis Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 33 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Political Publisher's Summary: Three weeks before a crucial senatorial election, a man is gunned down execution-style in a D.C. office. Police are quick to call it a case of robbery gone bad, but Frank Miles suspects something far more sinister behind the murder of his business partner. Washington's most feared image maker, Frank's ruthless media manipulation has earned him countless admirers...and just as many enemies. Now, for the first time in his life, Frank's met his match in a shadowy schemer as clever as himself - but far more lethal. As the body count rises, Frank becomes the US Attorney's chief suspect - and a cunning killer's next target. From the underground tunnels networking Capitol Hill to the dome high above, his race for the truth - and his life - will bring him face-to-face with power at its deadliest extremes - where winning isn't everything...it's the only thing. With his debut novel, L.A. Times best-selling author Robert Ellis raises the stakes in a heart pounding thriller set in Washington that feels so inside and so twisted it reeks of the darkest truth. Members Reviews: Washington Conspiracy festival! Would you try another book from Robert Ellis and/or Andrew Tell? Yes, very well thought out ( if not somewhat "out there" ) and well performed. What did you like best about this story? The central characters are well drawn, and their responses to the situations they are put in are "relatively" realistic. What does Andrew Tell bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Authenticity. Could you see Access to Power being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be? Perhaps on Amazon Prime. 2nd tier character actors. Any additional comments? I was provided this audiobook by the author in exchange for an unbiased review which is what this it. This is a somewhat derivative, yet at times fascinating DC conspiracy drama, with enough character development and story lines to remain unique. Worth the credit , especially in the category. Excellent Story Telling Loved this book. I have read all of Robert Ellis books. Politics is a dirty world and nobody can tell this story better than Robert Ellis. How can I get a Free Book to Preview? Would you listen to Access to Power again? Why? No. Parts of it were dry. Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How? Not really. I enjoy the narrator's voice. It is very soothing, not monotone, but minimal depth and inflection. Relaxing for me. Which character as performed by Andrew Tell was your favorite? No sympathy for anyone but Woody. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? There was a section where, IMO, the word f**k was used excessively. It was embarrassing because although I have a private office my colleagues can enter without knowing. I listen to audio books at a low volume to keep me focused. My colleague heard the f-word rush out from speaker and with wild eyes to what I was listening. Any additional comments? I was not provided a free copy of this book for unbiased review. Trite and hyperbolic Ellis is a good writer but that was a bad book. Give him another chance. His Lena Gamble is first rate Riveting! Note: I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher. I really enjoy these types of stories. Sure, they often follow a certain formula, but that's OK.

To win the White House, Egan must mount the most unorthodox presidential campaign ever attempted, and navigate through a daunting new world marked by character assassination, high-level corruption, armed raids, and political murder.

Slade Format: Unabridged Length: 15 hrs and 53 mins Language: English Release date: 07-27-17 Publisher: Macmillan Digital Audio Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Political Publisher's Summary: From the best-selling author of Presumed Innocent comes Testimony, Scott Turow's most twist-filled thriller to date. Bill ten Boom has walked out on everything he thought was important to him: his career, his wife, even his country. Invited to become a prosecutor at The Hague's International Criminal Court, it was a chance to start afresh. But when his first case is to examine the disappearance of 400 Roma refugees - an apparent war crime left unsolved for 10 years - it's clear this new life won't be an easy one. Whispered rumours have the perpetrators ranging from Serb paramilitaries to the US Army, but there's no hard evidence to hold either accountable and only a single witness to say it happened at all. To get to the truth, Boom must question the integrity of every person linked to the case - from Layton Merriwell, a disgraced US major general, to flirtatious barrister Esma Czarni - as it soon becomes apparent that every party has a vested interest and no qualms in steering the investigation their way. Members Reviews: EXACTLY THE KIND OF EXCELLENCE YOU EXPECT FROM TUROW Not the usual Kindle County setting (although there are passing references to Rusty Sabich, Tommy Molto and the boys), but set in Europe for a change, involving the work of the various war crimes courts and agencies. The cast includes dodgy Roma, Serbs and Bosnians as our hero sets out to investigate the alleged massacre of 400 Roma men, women and children by . . . And here's the rub--it is by no means clear as to who exactly is alleged to have carried out the atrocity, or even if it actually took place in the first place. There are some really terrific characters, including a laconic Aussie forensic anthropologist and a wheeler dealer American black lesbian by the name of Attila. My only criticism is that Turow's writing about sex is really terrible'

In this first book in the Sleeping Dogs series - there currently are four books and counting - the president of the United States has been targeted for assassination - by his own handlers. The killing must look like the president's political opposition is responsible. Desperate to prevent the crime and the overwhelming outpouring of sympathy that will only further empower the real killers, the opposition turns to the only force that can stop it this late in the game - a mysterious hunter-killer team known as the Sleeping Dogs. This darkest of black ops units was formed to carry out America's wettest, most politically incorrect missions abroad. Eventually, a US president, fearing discovery of the unit's existence would spark an international crisis, ordered its members terminated with extreme prejudice. They escaped by faking their deaths in a plane crash, and went underground. Now, 20 years later, they are asked to leave the safety of their anonymity and risk their lives for their country one more time. A seemingly unconnected car crash rapidly escalates into a series of plot twists and a rising body count involving Russian agents, crooked politicians, Ukrainian gangsters, a billionaire international arbitrageur, a secret society of patriots in the military and intelligence communities, the CIA, a doggedly determined FBI agent, and the six deadliest men on earth - the surviving Sleeping Dogs. The body count begins climbing in the first chapter, as Brendan Whelan and the other Dogs relentlessly pursue the would-be assassins and their handlers. As they do, they begin to uncover, layer by layer, a plot to bring America to her knees and impose a one-world government on the planet. The enemy is powerful, with access to unlimited funds and the ability to manipulate the rogue nations of the world. The problem? They've awakened the Sleeping Dogs. Members Reviews: Sleeping Dogs is a home run! Sleeping Dogs is as close to a "page turner" as you can get with an audio book. The story and performance are wildly fun and take you on ride you won't soon forget.

One of those soldiers was my son, who never made it back. Now, I'm here to ask you, was it worth it? The gathering was supposed to have been a perfunctory media exercise on retiring Senator Jackson Ridge's last day in office. When a grieving mother slips in and poses that simple question, though, everything from Ridge's own legacy to American interests in Afghanistan all get called into question. Racing against a ticking clock and powerful figures that would prefer to keep things happening across the globe a secret, Ridge must call on every last favor he has accumulated over the course of his time in office in search of answers. Answers that ultimately have him looking at more than just the life of a fallen soldier when trying to decide if, in fact, it was all worth it.... Members Reviews: Government Intrigue Visuals of the plot well drawn through heavy description. Current, iterest topic. Characters very recognizable. Narration clear as a bell and pleasant, not a newscast shrill voice; rich tone, good transitions. Feel like you've just watched a visual presentation of events.

" - Washington Times When a beautiful journalist drowns mysteriously off Waikiki, former Special Forces veteran Pono Hawkins, now a well-known surfer and international surfing correspondent, quickly gets caught up in trying to solve her death. What he learns soon targets him for murder or life in prison as a cabal of powerful energy corporations, foreign killers and crooked politicians focuses the blame on him. Haunted by memories of Afghanistan, and determined to protect the Hawaii he loves from dirty politics tied to huge destructive energy developments, Pono turns to Special Forces buddies and his own skills to fight his deadly enemies, trying to both save himself and track down her killers. Alive with the sights, sounds and history of Hawaii, Saving Paradise is also a rich portrait of what Pono calls "the seamy side of paradise", and a relentless thriller of politics, lies, manhunts and remorseless murder. "A rousing crime thriller." - Book Chase Members Reviews: Save the world! I understand the author's concerns but the plot played second fiddle to his rantings. I call them rants because he kept repeating himself. Writers political bent was to much Would you try another book from Mike Bond and/or Luke Daniels? no What was most disappointing about Mike Bonds story? He forgot to write the story just a soapbox for his political views. If that is what I wanted would have went to another type book How did the narrator detract from the book? His sing song voice was very distracting If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Saving Paradise? All his soapbox grandstanding Any additional comments? Won't buy any more of his books and if it hadn't been so cheap I would have returned it

Title: Cool Breeze Subtitle: Trawler Trash, Book 6 Author: Ed Robinson Narrator: DJ Holte Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 25 mins Language: English Release date: 03-17-17 Publisher: Ed Robinson Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 9 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Political Publisher's Summary: Breeze emerges from a confrontation deep in the Everglades to learn that his beloved home waters are fouled with pollution. He thinks he's got a clever way to influence policy, but soon finds himself embroiled in political and legal corruption. Whether he's in hot pursuit of a crook, or in the office of a State's Attorney, he always keeps his cool. Part rebel, part knight in rusty armor, and every ounce his own man, Meade Breeze is a rugged, reclusive Florida boat bum. He has a special talent for attracting sexy women. His skill at handling boats is matched only by his knack for getting into, and out of, one predicament after another. In this sixth novel starring Breeze, he navigates the foreign territory of underground politics. Members Reviews: Ed Robinson has done it again! As a land locked former boat bum, Ed Robinson has the ability to take me back to some of the best times of my life with every turn of the page. Ed's latest work Cool Breeze reminds this reader of John D MacDonald, a delightful mix of adventure and a deep understanding and care for the environmental ills facing Florida. Another great read from an author who this reader has come to thoroughly enjoy and admire. Read this book to find out what Meade Breeze is up to and why he's Cool I like reading serials and I like reading these. Meade Breeze is a character and so are his friends. The stories are based around his travels and adventures along the east coast and down into the Caribbean. He lives on a Trawler and goes on "missions" that he somehow gets involved in. Since I'm older I can relate to some of the situations Breeze finds himself in. They can be read superficially or metaphorically. Beautiful women, action, adventure, and quirky characters along with a quick witted author makes this series a must read for the avid reader and "wanna be" Caribbean Trawler captain. Breeze Rides Again! This, the sixth book in the Trawler Trash series, is a fantastic read. Ed Robinson is the real deal. He loves on his own boat with his wife and goes about his life according to his own rules and beliefs. I've met them both several times, most recently aboard Leap of Faith, herself. Their travels and adventures have been great fodder for his fiction. I certainly hope he keeps these stories coming. Super cool I like to read of the trials, tribulations and love life of Breeze. He is smart enough to exact revenge for wrong-doings, but not empathetic enough to hang onto what seem to be some great possible life partners. It's a good story line set in a wonderful Caribbean setting. Great Series I've read them all. Ed is going to have to write faster. I love the series , characters and the great stories. Travis McGee all over. Thanks for the imagination. Enjoy

Cooper Narrator: David Colacci Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 16 mins Language: English Release date: 01-31-17 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 10 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Political Publisher's Summary: Shortly before being captured, Major "Andy" Andrews, USMC, had time to make one phone call, to his best friend Cal Stokes. Now left to rot in a cell in Helmand Province, Andy's time is almost up. Will Cal and his team from the Jefferson Group be in time to save Andy? Will the CIA help, or get in the way? What are the political implications should their mission succeed? Follow Cal on his latest mission, and find out what happens when the layers of Afghanistan get peeled back. Members Reviews: Best of the Bunch "Disavowed: A Patriotic Adventure" is by far the bests installment of the series and kept my attention from beginning to end. Who orchestrated the kidnapping of killing of Andy in Afghanistan on this his first mission with the CIA? How does Cal and the team react when they find that Andy is MIA and they're not sure who in the government they can trust? Is our own government trying to kill our own agents? People I thought were good were actually bad and then actually good again...kept me guessing until the very end. Two criticisms on this fine story. First, Mr. Cooper, you continue to do this in every book in this series when talking about medals in the military, soldiers are bestowed these awards, sometimes posthumously - THEY DO NOT WIN THEM! I would appreciate if you can make this correction. Secondly, typos and extra words continue in this book as they have throughout the series...why aren't your editors able to find them? Each of the books in the series are stand alone books and aren't dependent upon an earlier book in the series. However, to fully understand the characters and what they do, I'd suggests starting at the beginning. Readers will find each installment better than the previous one. I thoroughly enjoyed this story and looking forward to another in the future Mr. Cooper! Great story! John Podlaski, author Cherries - A Vietnam War Novel INTRIGUE & ACTION DISAVOWED: A PATRIOTIC ADVENTURE is the Eight Book in C.G. Cooper's marvelous Corps Justice Series. In this book, Cal Stokes is determined to find out the whereabouts and condition of his good friend and form commander Capt. Andrews. After receiving an all too brief call from "Andy" in the previous book, Cal was left to wonder just what sort of trouble Andy could be in that he'd reach out to him in the states. Knowing from recent events, and in-theatre scuttlebutt that Andy was in Afghanistan - and not in his safe stateside post in Marine Corps Barracks at 8th & I Streets in D.C., where Cal last knew him to be only added to the mystery. And after some preparations, and discussions with his good friend Pres. Zimmer, Cal and his merry band of hardcore misfits from The Jefferson Group saddled up and headed off to Afghanistan to try to find Andy and ascertain just what he'd fallen into. But what they found upon arriving there was something far more complicated - and sinister - than they could have imagined. In yet another thrilling, action packed adventure, author C.G. Cooper continues the story of former Marine SSGT Cal Stokes and The Jefferson Group. A series which just seems to get better with each volume - and a twist at every turn. Which makes for a fine read, especially for Marines of all ages.

Title: The People's House Author: David Pepper Narrator: Jon Eric Preston Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 2 mins Language: English Release date: 11-23-16 Publisher: David Pepper Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 7 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Political Publisher's Summary: Can someone heist the majority of the House of Representatives with no one noticing? That's the electoral coup that turns America upside down in The People's House. Until one man notices. Political reporter Jack Sharpe is logging time at the tail end of a disappointing career - jaded about politics and stung by personal hard knocks. But after an odd election result in the Ohio Congressional district he covers, Sharpe stumbles across irregularities that spur him to dig deeper. The story takes him far beyond his corner of Ohio as he discovers an international plot one that strikes at the heart of American democracy by taking advantage of weaknesses in today's political architecture. His reporting leads to a showdown with a philandering Congressman and Presidential contender, and an eccentric but deadly Russian energy baron. In order to save himself and the country, Sharpe must rekindle his old fire to navigate a treacherous journey through danger, betrayal, and atonement. Members Reviews: Fact cloaked in a work of fiction "Oh, crap," I said to myself as I discovered David Pepper wrote a book, one day before I was to meet with him informally over coffee. "I should download it and read it quick as I rode from my home in Dayton to Columbus. "I can skim this in an hour," I thought, expecting the same sort of political recap book most politicians put out. I was wrong. I was very wrong. The first sentence caught my eye, the ensuing chapters and the story the protagonist, Jack Sharpe, started unravelling was captivating. It took me two re-reads and weeks of slow reading to finish. "Few things lift my spirit like a good obituary." I was hooked. I can't give away the ending, but as a former newspaper man, I can't help but wonder how much of the true story of any news story gets left on the editorial cutting room floor. Before the current POTUS occupied the Oval Office, one might think this yarn Pepper spins would be a fantastic conspiracy, but as we all watch the events unfold in real time, one wonders how much is fact cloaked in a work of fiction. Just as Nathaniel Hawthorne's "The Scarlet Letter" was inspired by his political appointments, so too is this fictional story presented to us as a narrative more true than the news we watch, the newspaper stories we read. This is one story that reads too close to the bone to be fiction. Yet, it is... right David Pepper? This book is binge-worthy like a Netflix show and has the intrigue of a (good) season of 24 I ordered The Peopleâs House to read during an upcoming trip to Asia. When it arrived, I decided to read the first chapter to make sure I liked it. I have found the first sentence of a novel is a good bellwether for how much I will enjoy the book overall, and after reading the first line of The Peopleâs House, I knew I was in for a treat. SPOILER ALERTâIâm going to reveal that first sentence: âNothing lifts my spirit like a good obituary.â Pretty good, right? After finishing the first chapter, I thought, âThat was goodâmight as well read the second chapter, there is still plenty of book left to read on my way to Asia.â That was a slippery slopeâI now need another book to read. The Peopleâs House is a well-paced, political thriller that was fun to read and easy to accidentally finish.

Hodge Narrator: Monique Bagwell Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 43 mins Language: English Release date: 06-26-17 Publisher: Evolved Publishing LLC Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Political Publisher's Summary: It begins with Red. Run, Red. Run! In search of redemption from his sordid past, FBI Special Agent Alex Bailey takes on a new partner, Katherine Mitchel...and a new secret mission. Before being assigned their first joint case, Katherine uncovers damning evidence against a major crime ring known as The Syndicate. The group controls key members of the DC Metropolitan Area Police, the US Congress, even the FBI, and they will stop at nothing to protect their interests. With her life on the line, Katherine is forced to put her faith in Alex as she flees from Washington, DC, and enters the Witness Protection Program. Yet there's no hiding from The Syndicate. In the most dangerous investigation of his career, Alex must decide how far he is willing to go to keep Katherine safe, and to stop The Syndicate. Evolved Publishing presents the first book in The Syndicate-Born Trilogy, an exploration of what happens when one well-placed group possesses too much power, and how it affects those who just get in its way. Members Reviews: You don't know who to trust, so you're suspicious of everyone! A wonderful book! The characters are heroic and flawed and broken, and about 1/3 of the way through the book, I was hooked...rooting for them to overcome, rooting for them to have a happy ending, and scared to get to the end in case it wasn't a happy one. Ms. Hodge has crafted an interesting tale of suspense amid a beautiful love story. You don't know who to trust, so you are suspicious of everyone. I can't wait to read her next book. With the transformation of her debut novel from Seasons to Red on the Run, KM Hodge has hit the sweet spot. The overall tone is lighter, yet she hasnât sacrificed the obstacles her characters must face as they battle not only their own personal demons, but organized crime as well. The magic in Hodgeâs writing comes in the depth she gives her characters. Her main characters, as well as her supporting cast, are flawed and wounded and lovable, and thatâs what drives them to trouble and triumphâor somewhere in between. Iâm looking forward to the next book in this series and to witnessing the writing talent of KM Hodge transform even more. This author is one to follow. Riveting, haunting story. Once I got about a third of the way in, I wanted to read the rest non-stop. I found myself sneaking pages in here and there where I could. Nicely done blend of passion and suspense, it's a well-constructed first novel and a thoroughly engrossing story. I can't say I'm overjoyed about the ending, but it makes me eager to read the second book in the series! Good thriller with just a bit too much melodrama For the most part, âRed on the Runâ is exactly what its title promises: a gripping, gritty thriller about a fearless couple of cops fighting a huge crime syndicate, complete with the almost inevitable romance between the two protagonists that develops in a charming but still matter-of-fact way.

Members Reviews: Ron McLarty does an amazing job narrating the book So well written, thank you David Baldacci for another amazing book I loved the twist and turns was hard to stop listening :) Ron McLarty you are amazing to listen to as always :) Utterly disappointing Simplistic, low brow, unbelievable storyline. I stuck with it hoping that the writing would improve, but it did not, it just got worse. No more Baldachi for me. Same old, same old!!! I have liked Baldacci, but sick of him now. Need a change of genre. His stories have too much of a sameness to them for me.

Title: To Kill the President Author: Sam Bourne Narrator: Jennifer Woodward Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 36 mins Language: English Release date: 07-04-17 Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers Limited Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 5 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Political Publisher's Summary: A blockbuster thriller from number one Sunday Times best-selling author Sam Bourne, in which Maggie Costello uncovers an assassination plot to kill the tyrannical new president. The unthinkable has happened. The United States has elected a volatile demagogue as president, backed by his ruthless chief strategist, Crawford 'Mac' McNamara. When a war of words with the North Korean regime spirals out of control and the president comes perilously close to launching a nuclear attack, it's clear someone has to act, or the world will be reduced to ashes. Soon Maggie Costello, a seasoned Washington operator and stubbornly principled, discovers an inside plot to kill the president - and faces the ultimate moral dilemma. Should she save the president and leave the free world at the mercy of an increasingly crazed would-be tyrant - or commit treason against her commander in chief and risk plunging the country into a civil war? Critic Reviews: "Bourne has proved he can more than rub shoulders with the likes of John Le Carre and Robert Harris." (Mirror) "An intelligent, finely crafted mystery that brilliantly channels the anxieties of our time." (The New York Times) "A strikingly fresh thrilleringeniously realized." (Sunday Times) Members Reviews: Scaringly relevant!! This fiction book could be written about the sitting president. It is both a commentary about the chaos that seems to encircle the current administration and a capitivating action driven story! CHANGE THE NARRATOR. NOW. What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you? A narrator of intelligence and ability. Who was your favorite character and why? Unable to form an opinion. The female narrator was excruciating, managed less that 2 hours before giving up disgusted. Will continue in book form. Infact, bought 3 copies. No one to irritate me, but myself. Would you be willing to try another one of Jennifer Woodwards performances? NEVER. If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from To Kill the President? THE NARRATOR. Any additional comments? Excellent novel killed by horrible rendition, like listening to an high school girl over acting a script. Never heard an American narrate anything so poor. You'll be irritated beyond belief, if you love the English language. Great story Great story. It could almost be true. Not a fan of the narration. The voice is grating. not a page turner I was a little disappointed. there is a lot of anti Trump content which I am in tune with but this rather overwhelmed the story. Great book. Hope there is no truth in this book. Very informative and a real eye opener.

A jealous, deranged husband assassinates the president-elect of the United States two weeks before inauguration, and, for the first time in history, a vice-president-elect must step up and take the oath of office. Madison Hemsley-Tarlton, a war hero and former governor, will be the new president...if she can stay alive long enough. Questions about the assassination quickly surface and eventually lead to a vicious and mysterious band of men who want to control American power. Madison stands at a point in history where the country is poised for a fundamental change in our system of government. Who is Madison's enigmatic ally and who will dominate the coming shift in the republic? Members Reviews: Interesting political intrigue novel! I purchased The Assassin's Wife by newly published author Dan Daines because I like political thrillers and the average Amazon rating was 4.9 stars. The novel is fast moving, packed with action, has nice twists, and is very violent and gory. Madison Hemsley-Tarlton, the protagonist, is picked by her party's US presidential nominee to be his running mate. The sitting president loses the election by 2 electoral making Madison VP-elect of the US. Then two weeks before they are to take office her presidential running mate, the president-elect, is assassinated by a sniper. Madison suffers a minor injury. The novel is set in the present so the US Constitution as amended determines Madison is to be president-elect, Madison Hemsley-Tarlton is no ordinary person. She was a US Marine pilot and became the first woman to be awarded the Metal of Honor. She then started a technology company in Silicone Valley which she sold for a fortune; and then she did the same thing again. She then was elected governor of California. Meanwhile her husband of three years died seven years ago in the war in Afghanistan leaving her a the single mother of a very young daughter. Important people in government and the private sector do not want Madison to take office, so they are determined to kill her using whatever means necessary. The only issues I have with The Assassin's Wife is the intensity and constancy of gory violence. Listeners who object likely should skip this novel. This novel is my first exposure to narrator Andrea Bates. Her voice seems androgynous to me. She does male voices better than female voices. She also does a great job narrating. Boring! Couldnt finish! Narrator wasnt the best. I kept losing interest, and having to listen again.

Title: The Man in the Lighthouse Author: Erik Valeur, Mark Mussari - translator Narrator: Malcolm Hillgartner Format: Unabridged Length: 14 hrs and 10 mins Language: English Release date: 03-14-17 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 12 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Political Publisher's Summary: All his life, Viggo Larssen has been haunted by the same troubling dream, which he calls the Omen - a vision of a woman beckoning to him from the surface of a churning sea. Now, as he broods over his shipwrecked existence in a remote lighthouse off the outermost coast of Denmark, he is about to be borne backward by the current to a past he thought he had escaped forever. On the Danish mainland, the widowed mother of the nation's prime minister mysteriously vanishes from her prestigious nursing home. As the police search for clues, evidence mounts that her disappearance is tied to an unsolved crime from Viggo's childhood. Told through the eyes of multiple characters from Viggo's old neighborhood, Erik Valeur's dark, serpentine mystery is a profound meditation on the persistence of memory, the power of dreams, and the secrets we hide from one another - and ourselves. Members Reviews: Enjoyed the narration and a haunting story The story really pulled me in and it had a kind of lyrical quality, especially with the narrator's warm voice and tone. I've listened to a lot of audible novels and this narrator was just flawless! I appreciated how the author drew out every scene and each character- I felt I was there, watching it all unfold. The translation from Danish is another beautiful aspect. I'll never forget this experience - so different. Beware!! Utterly brilliant but don't read / listen to this before Erik Valeur's first book 'The Seventh Child'!!!

Title: Resistance Subtitle: New America, Book 2 Author: Richard Stephenson Narrator: David Gilmore Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 17 mins Language: English Release date: 11-19-13 Publisher: Richard Stephenson Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 118 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Political Publisher's Summary: Eighteen months after the Collapse of 2027, the former United States is divided. On one side is the evil and tyrannical Unified American Empire, controlled by President Simon Sterling, the man responsible for the death of the last legitimate president, Malcolm Powers. On the other side, President Howard Beck controls the Pacific States of America, the last hope for democracy and freedom. The two adversaries become embroiled in a bitter game of deception, betrayal, and espionage while battling an even more imposing menace that could easily destroy the very nation they are both desperately fighting to control. Members Reviews: poor dialog and narrator lacks talent I hate giving negative reviews. I was hoping that book 2 would be better. but, alas, it is not. the general sorry is intriguing but the simple, non realistic, dialog just keeps churning in my head. some of the blame goes to the narrator, or, at least, how he is reading these books. very close to monotone, and all voicessound way to similar. personally i also thought the was to much swearing. kinda ironic that i can relate to the bad guy with that. oh well, i will probably not finish the series. Plausible? A good second book. It contains narration on the macro level and some on the itty-bitty level. On the strategic level, we understand the countries who want to do harm to the two major fragments of the USA. BTW, where's Canada and Mexico in this. One could assume hegemonic tendencies there, too...but, nope! At the tactical level, the slavery thing was well played. The person who narrated Howard did not make me feel that he was in charge...his voice was irritating. Finally, the end was truly and end, with an epilogue. Makes me want to read/listen to the third novel in the series. Very enjoyable story, but horrible reader I have listened to a LOT of audio books, and while there have been readers that I felt could have done better for the story I've never listened to one where the reader ruined the book.. Until now. Even though this is a great story, the reader was so bad that I almost gave up on it. When doing narrative he is passable, but when doing a character, especially a female character, it was just like listening to a 8 year doing a school play, literally. It was as if he was just trying to be silly on purpose with his lilting falsetto cadence. I cannot believe that a production company sat for that many hours and recorded him and thought it was all good. Maybe the author had no say-so in the matter but if someone butchered my story that bad I would never allow to be distributed. I may go back and read the print versions of these later, both books in the series really were quite clever but I'll be sure to nix any book I ever see again with this reader. Book 2 same quality as book 1. Book 2 has the same review as book 1 because it applies pretty much equally. At first I had a problem with the narator/performance but once I got involved in the story line I truly enjoyed it, the narator needs some experience I would guess though. Over all you'll enjoy the book if you pay more attention to the story line than the guy reading it. Great stroy keeps you on the edge of your seat all the way though. ...loved it want more

Muslims have succeeded in becoming the majority of several European populations, adding to their dominance in the Middle East. With the accelerating spread of radical Islam and Sharia law as the backdrop, our character-driven novel tells the story of a divided world and two men who epitomize the ideological chasm. The collision of these forces is predictable; the fallout is anything but. Members Reviews: Great Novel for our Times! The story was fast paced and kept me listening. My only complaint was the reader was not easy to listen to. It seemed very choppy and hard to follow at times.

But he has a secret big enough to bring down his whole administration. It wasn't the marijuana he smoked after graduating from Harvard. It wasn't the fact he won the presidency with the help of computer phenoms hired to hack into an electronic voting source code. It wasn't that his political family wasn't pure. Only days before the vote for his next election, his chief of staff informs him, "They know, Daniel." Dreams will be shattered. Lives are in danger. Can America handle the truth? Members Reviews: Thankful for Ray Porter The saving grace was Ray Porters voice. I didn't like anything else about this book. Narrative jumped back and forth in time clumsily. Retelling scenes was annoying and inconsistent. Facts didn't add up. In one chapter Melissa is a teacher in another she wasn't. The diary entries were horribly dull and added no value to the story. The ending was at best disappointing at worst frustrating. I won't buy this author again. Fully Enjoyed This book was a light fun listen given the realistic content. It really makes you wonder right to the end. Without a sequel the book probably should have been lengthened. If there is a sequel, and I hope there is, I will be buying it. Ray Porter once again is amazing.

Title: Seduction: Love, Loss, Leverage, Murder Subtitle: Seduction Series, Book 1 Author: C.L. Bluestein Narrator: Christa Lewis Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 37 mins Language: English Release date: 11-02-17 Publisher: Spoken Word Inc Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Political Publisher's Summary: In Seduction, renowned author Rachel Allen, in her quest for independence and relief from her PTSD symptoms, moves to New York City. There she reunites with Theodore X. Donovan, the man who saved her life from a brutal rapist years before. Ted, wealthy philanthropist with international connections and founder of The PRAISE Foundation, harbors a dangerous personal agenda. Because of Rachel's and Ted's high profile work for human rights, both are invited to serve on an eight member presidential think tank that convenes at an isolated Lake George cabin in the Adirondack Mountains of NY. It is here that Rachel recognizes the depth of Ted's skewed sense of love and patriotism, forcing her to face her worst fears. Meanwhile, the FBI, in pursuit of a serial killer with ties to PRAISE, needs to interview Ted who has accepted a covert deadly presidential mission with international repercussions. With many lives are at stake, a terrified Rachel must fight for her own life, love, and country. Members Reviews: There Is A Killer Out There There is a killer out there! One with a mission to get rid of the scum of the earth and make the world a better place. Rachel Allen, a prolific writer and Elizabeth Nielsen, FBI agent are at the center of miles-deep investigation that is framed by a complex love story. Seduction: Love, Loss, Leverage, Murder is CJ Bluestein's seminal crime-thriller and she is proving literary chutzpah to manipulate diametrically opposing ideologies of philanthropy and the economic destruction of nations to tell a suspenseful story. She crafts a reticulate puzzle that pushes the limits of logic and deduction akin to other works in the genre. The "Seduction" pulls you into an intrinsically linked tripartite web from the first moments outside a decrepit Harlem, New York brownstone rife with gang activity; pushes you into the Oval Office where an integrous and ambitious President Sanford fights against reprehensible acts of special interests that threaten to undermine his economic plans for recovery; slams you against a conspiracy so dense, deep in the heart of Africa where a countryâs human rights, self-reliance and policies are systematically violated by the sensibilities of a jaundiced and tyrannical western ideal. Seductionâs stomach turning killings, its three-dimensional characters, especially the women, are exceptionally brilliant. The culprits âhidden in plain viewâ and startling clues afford the reader a memorable page turning experience. Good read!!! I give Seduction high praise--I didn't want it to end. Nor did I want to put it down- I finished it rather quickly! I definitely recommend this book for an engaging, easy-to-jump-into read. The pace was just right for my tastes- perfect balance between the thriller bits and the romantic story between Rachel and Chris. Looking forward to more in this series!!! A technological thriller. A good thriller. Story progresses well; plot line clear. Author weaves modern technology into the lives of the characters along with slowly revealing the past. Good cause and effect relating to our chaotic, unpredictable world. Well done. You will enjoy this book! Seduction is a great read that incorporates positive ideas on some modern issues. I do admit that I could not put it down.

For the past year, there's been a non-stop barrage of this headline. Everyone has heard or seen it. Surprisingly, there was no need for the meddling. It's been going on much longer than most people realize. On January 20, 2009, a new occupant had moved into the White House. The transition of power from the previous administration had been orderly and uneventful, and on the surface, seemed to move smoothly through the process as prescribed by the U.S. Constitution. What millions of Americans couldn't know was that a few years before the new president was born, another man had been offered two lives to live. His choice would change the lives of every man, woman and child on our planet. Many famous assassinations had been left behind in the wake of his ascension. He destroyed many large individual fortunes and the economies of some countries. He could have chosen the winning numbers of any lottery ticket, but instead he chose to play Wall Street, the biggest gamble and most lucrative game of them all. Perhaps, it was his reward for surviving many hellish years and being able to come back unscathed. He then established himself as a power broker. On that very day of the inauguration, he also just happened to be in town...and was less than a mile away from the Oval Office. There are no coincidences! There are no twists of fate! And there is nothing that just happenswithout someone orchestrating the outcome! Members Reviews: You should read AND listen to this terrific new thriller! I enjoyed reading Norwich's book on Kindle, as well as having it read to me by Paul Leonard. Norwich weaves a highly involved historical-political thriller into a contemporary cautionary tale. Paul Leonard, narrator of the audio book, is an exceptionally gifted reader who is able to maintain the momentum of a very long book with great energy while pursuing a subtle approach to voicing widely different characters and accents. Leonard and Norwich make a terrific team. I highly recommend experiencing this powerful work from both perspectives. A tough book to categorize But a captivating book to listen to! Is it historical fiction? Is it a political thriller? Is it a treatise on economics? A rags to riches story? Yes to all. I love a book with wit, wisdom, pathos and intrigue. The American Deluge has them all. It's read by an artist who is new to me, but who handled the diverse characters and accents in a distinctive, enriching, and thoroughly enjoyable way. I look forward to hearing more from him, and from the author! A great contemporary political thriller A great contemporary political thriller. It mirrors whatâs happening today with Russian meddling in our affairs. The audio book was so engaging and the narrator so skillful I lost 2 nightâs sleep listening enraptured. I can hardly wait to see if there is a sequel. Thanks for a great read! The reader's voice is like a warm blanket on a cold day The reader's voice is like a warm blanket on a cold day. He makes the action come alive. The pacing is pitch perfect and the end comes way too soon. You'll enjoy this one. What if Russia was the supreme hegemony? An engaging diversion... A thrilling political intrigue of Russian meddling in US politics, money buying power, and intergenerational manipulation.

Good, fast paced story but undermined by breathy and fluffy lead female role. I found her naïveté and downright stupidity at times extremely irritating, which ultimately impacted on the quality of the overall read for me. Great Read Hard to follow at first but if you persist it becomes a really good read with lots of twists and turns. The ending is unexpected.

Christ Format: Unabridged Length: 28 mins Language: English Release date: 01-05-18 Publisher: Brian Lee Tucker Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Political Publisher's Summary: "I've always just wanted to know one thing; did my bullets kill Jack, or not? I hadn't known it until after the fact, but I heard his mistress, the lovely Miss Monroe, had preceded him in death. I wonder; did she sing happy birthday to him in the afterlife? I guess I'll never know." So says the so called "conspiracy theorist" who, after all these years, still can't help but wonder if his bullet was the one that killed JFK. Many take it for granted that if there was an assassination conspiracy, Jack Ruby must have been involved. In fact, many people believe there was a conspiracy precisely because of Ruby's murder of Lee Harvey Oswald, which had the effect - intentional or not - of silencing the accused assassin. But was Oswald really the only shooter? In Same Old Conspiracy Theory, author Brian Lee Tucker examines the theory in a new - and thought-provoking - light.

Caught in a deadly game between the law and D.C. insiders, only Ryder can put an end to the killings - and no matter who wins, someone will die.

Fans of Meltzer and Baldacci will revel in the twists and fast-paced thrill ride. Grab it now! Members Reviews: I Was Hooked On Ameriguns From The Opening! If you could sum up Ameriguns in three words, what would they be? Kept me guessing! Who was your favorite character and why? Nathanial - the author created a believable, likeable character that the listener could relate to. What does Eric Michael Summerer bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Eric Michael Summerer really brought the story to life! He deftly managed the entire cast of characters - I forgot I was listening to a narrator and thought I was listening to a thriller of a television show in the background! Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? I loved the scenes with Nathaniel and his dog. The love and care he felt for his pet told me more about his character than anything else in the book! Any additional comments? I did not realize that the Audible version of Ameriguns included a prequel until it started playing and hearing the story "flip" to include the mastermind's perspective was a stroke of genius! I thoroughly enjoyed this book and hope that this writer/narrator duo return for more Audible thrillers in the future! Strong Start but Slow Finish Exciting start; good character buildup. Moved along decently till Nate kept getting tangled up with his boss and then shot at by his boss. FBI would not keep these two going without some severe restrictions placed. Too many near misses. Narrator did a fine job with right tempo and voice inflections. Nice twist on who was behind the killings. Will try another book by this author. Ameriguns review... Interesting and suspenseful plot. Not sure why the main character's sexual preference was sprinkled in. And the beginning of the epilogue , while from the female character's perspective, was duplicative of the beginning. Could have been tightened up. Narration very good. This audiobook was provided by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review courtesy of Audiobook Blast. Actiony Mystery From the very beginning of this story there was so much action and mystery as to everything going on. I can honestly say that I couldn't read or listen to anything else once I started this because my mind kept wandering back to who was behind it all. When I found out who was behind it all I was completely surprised, because it wasn't who I thought it'd be. The added origins story at the end was really nice too. It was nice hearing about where it all started. Eric did a great job and made it so easy to get lost in the story and fall away from time for awhile. Great story! Full of action and relatable characters.

Dear Format: Unabridged Length: 14 hrs and 1 min Language: English Release date: 08-04-17 Publisher: Primal Light Press Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Political Publisher's Summary: Blood Republic is a political-thriller for a divided modern America. Corrupt politicians, biased media, NSA surveillance, and viral hate; Blood Republic examines extremism through a heart-pumping thriller with the fate of the country at stake. Will America survive its next election or collapse into a second civil war of conservative versus liberal? During the closing hours of the tightest presidential election in US history, firebrand Annie Daniels is a Democratic-socialist senator determined to win the White House. She dreams of eradicating injustice and, hopefully, saving her dying daughter's life. Major Amos Daniels, her conservative Green Beret brother, might have something to say about that, though, if her plans go against his faith. As an Electoral College tie nears, the country erupts into rioting, and Annie and Amos are thrust to opposite ends of a constitutional crisis with guns drawn. Will the Daniels family find common ground above ideology to prevent a second civil war? Or will an unknown enemy-of-the-state escape justice while pushing the nation into chaos? Blood Republic is an intelligent thriller described as combining the philosophical depth of an Any Rand or George Orwell novel with the excitement of such story-tellers as Michael Crichton, Tom Clancy, and Vince Flynn. Politically independent in tone, Blood Republic will make you question your own political and philosophical allegiances while keeping you on the edge of your seat guessing as to who the true villain is in a divided modern America. Can peace and reason overcome hate, or has the country already been pushed too far? Please be aware novel contains adult themes, language, and violence. Members Reviews: An addictive ride through a country run amok Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? I would absolutely recommend all versions of this book! The story is so compelling and the narrative voice is ideal. What was one of the most memorable moments of Blood Republic? There are many memorable moments, but I was particularly drawn to all the Amos Daniels sections. Have you listened to any of David S. Dears other performances before? How does this one compare? This is my first David S. Dear performance, but I will seek out others.

The author did an outstanding job!!! Basically, this is very interesting and it's an eye-catching you would be interested in because this kept my interest, and its moved along quite well. I suspended everything I was doing to concentrate on this. The Author did a great and awesome job because the style of writing was very clear and well understood. The story is very interesting. I enjoyed this book and would love to read and listen to this over and over. I read for the purpose of learning and I think I've learned from "The Secret Executive Orders".

Title: Say a Little Prayer Subtitle: A James Palatine Thriller, Book 2 Author: Giles O'Bryen Narrator: James Clamp Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 25 mins Language: English Release date: 12-20-16 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Political Publisher's Summary: Kosovo, 1999. In the shadow of an impending NATO bombing campaign, James Palatine of the Army Intelligence Corps has joined an elite unit of the SAS for his first mission behind enemy lines. A woman's desperate cry for help draws them to a remote farmhouse, where Palatine makes a split-second decision that he bitterly regrets. Just hours later he sees a chance to redeem himself - in his own eyes, at least - when his unit finds a young girl close to death in the freezing woods. But rescuing the girl proves only to be the beginning of a new nightmare. Against a backdrop of escalating violence, Palatine's life spirals into an underworld of predatory gangsters and duplicitous spies - and takes him on a journey deep into the horrors of war and the darkness within his own soul. Members Reviews: Worth the time it takes Though A little drawn out, it is an excellent study in character and the motivations of what turns a good man into a killer of bad men. James Palatine is a good man, at his core his only desire is to do what's right, whither that's carrying a frozen girl across a war zone, or just holding someone in need of being held, his basic humanity is palpable. Not for the faint of heart Excellent engaging writing of a violent and terrible story. As every good work of fiction, this rings of truth and exposes the darker side of global politics, where collateral damage is shrugged aside and crimes permitted "for the greater good." Great book. Full of action and certainly kept me focused on every outcome. Full of action and a multitudes of interactions with a variety of characters. Sometimes the action was a somewhat valiant nature but always to show the contrast between those that insisted on brutal solutions vs those that were trying to live their life with some degree of harmony. Five Stars Great writing and an excellent story. Action packed with grit and realism. Five Stars I have enjoyed the first 2 books. I hope that there are more on the way!

Title: The Cooper Affair Subtitle: A James Flynn Thriller, Book 3 Author: Jack Patterson Narrator: Bill Cooper Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 53 mins Language: English Release date: 05-17-17 Publisher: Green E-Books Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Political Publisher's Summary: Find out why New York Times best-selling author Vincent Zandri is calling Jack Patterson "a worthy successor to Vince Flynn." From best-selling author Jack Patterson comes a pulse-pounding mystery thriller about a D.B. Cooper copycat who engages former CIA operative James Flynn and FBI agent Jennifer Banks in a deadly game of cat and mouse. In the third installment of the James Flynn thriller series, Flynn is working on an article for his magazine The National about the famous D.B. Cooper skyjacking case in Washington when a brazen criminal leaps from a commercial jet with a million dollars. While it's not an exact replication of Cooper's heist, FBI officials can't deny the similarities between the cases and the thief's obvious attempt to make himself out to be Cooper's equal. Working as a consultant for the FBI, Flynn teams up with Banks again to catch a criminal who grows more dangerous and daring with each move. Meanwhile, retired FBI agent Harold Coleman who worked on the original Cooper case inserts himself into the investigation in an attempt at redemption. All three find themselves trapped in a deadly game of cat and mouse with the thief and must find a way out before it's too late. Members Reviews: The Cooper Affair. R.J. Patterson DB Cooper, the man who jumped, or rather parachuted out of a commercial jet into the wilderness with a lot of stolen money. Never to be found. Now another Cooper has emerged. This one is a megalomaniac. Devious, cunning . He duplicates Coppers crime not once but twice. His greatest disappointment? The public can't stand him. He will never reach the cult status of Cooper. This is an extremely entertaining book. Twists and turns to the very last page. Mark Justice is alive! Enjoyed immensely! A copy of an old crime??? The basic premise is that a well off banker decided to see how it feels to commit a perfect crime and not get caught. He expects the world to laud him for doing the crime twice. He did not account for several other factors as well. He thought he was dyeing of cancer, thus if caught he would not go to jail. As is typical of this series the criminal is highly intelligent, well educated and has not resolved childhood family issues. The hero and the FBI agent work well together. Will they remain partners, develop a strong friendship or possibly more? All in all, a well written story with many facets and changes. There were some questions left in answered, especially regarding accomplices which feel should have been addressed. Enjoy the read while I pursue book 4. TY DB Entertaining and a good read. I was distracted by the lack od depth in explanations of the capture and escape situations, as well as the dated conversations, but the characters and scene descriptions were enough to make me read on. Taken as a whole, book three made me reach quickly for book four. TY DB I am so glad I found Jack Patterson His books are great. Wonderful characters. Terrific plots with unique twists. And while I did guess the end of this one, I was a bit surprised. Enjoy. I did. Excellent read! An excellent read! Couldn't put it down! Loved the unexpected twist at the end! Just when you think you have figured out, the author surprises you!

President-elect Maggie Mathews - the first woman voted into the nation's highest office - is felled by a ruptured brain aneurysm just 10 days before her inauguration. While she lies in a coma, her vice president-elect attempts to conceal his past, and with help from chief of staff Bruce "Skeeter" Jamison, he gambles he can keep his dark secret from coming to light. But Maggie's husband, the former secretary of state who schemes to seize the reins of power for himself, has other ideas. Members Reviews: Presidential Succession Act in Action If you could sum up Hail to the Chief in three words, what would they be? Presidential Succession Act. Going back to 1792, there has always been provision in case of the death or an incapacitated President. The most recent revision was the Presidential Succession Act of 1947, signed by President Harry Truman, changed the order again to what it is today. Placed in a well thought out work of fiction. It works! Who was your favorite character and why? Chief of staff Bruce "Skeeter" Jamison. He is the main protagonist. All of the action revolves around him. Have you listened to any of David Woods other performances before? How does this one compare? Yes, this is the second audio book from David that I've heard. Competent, professional, easy to hear, enjoyable to listen to. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? I was entertained. This illustrates the protection built into the Constitution for just the sort of contingency of a President dying or otherwise unable to conduct his duties. It entertained and for me, illustrated how the plan might actually work in realistic situations. Any additional comments? I wasn't sure what to expect when I started listening to "Hail to the Chief". Usually "political thriller" means a rant from one faction's view point or the other Avoid that type of Political Thriller. But not the case here! So, I was pleasantly surprised. There are many actual events in the narrative.The story takes place in the near future, post Trump's term. That "what if" aspect is optimistic that our government starts working again and that the rest of the world works to fix problems. Speculative fiction!! ? Hopefully not! lol My suggestion is "Give it a try"! Very well done, no leanings in either direction. This was a very well done audio book project. Writing, and narration are very well done. Thanks for the opportunity to review it! A review copy was gifted to me at no charge by the narrator. In return, I am happy to provide an honest review. Also at no charge. Thanks, Mr. Wood! HAIL TO THE AUDIOBOOK What made the experience of listening to Hail to the Chief the most enjoyable? Great writing. The story keeps you moving forward with twists and turns. I love the newspaper columns to help move the narrative forward. What other book might you compare Hail to the Chief to and why? This book is a cross between Vince Flynn and an early Jerry Bruckheimer political thriller. What about David Woods performance did you like? David did a really nice job with pacing, with character voices and with his overall acting through the entire book. There are some audiobooks where you know within 30 seconds the narrative style isn't for you. Not the case with David's performance.

Unexpectedly persuaded by Porter to become CIA Director, Shultz soon realizes he has made a horrible mistake and that Porter is so inept his administration will threaten America's future. Shultz must now decide whether to risk disgrace and probable imprisonment by using the same ruthless tactics he employed to elect Porter to force the President to leave office. Members Reviews: Lust Takes the White House Story line was okay but all in all I did not enjoy reading. Buck was not believable ly stupid, He had to have some redeeming qualities. Tammy was spot on women get a taste of power then become tyrants thinking They know best . Great read A great read, hard to put down. Fits right in with today's political climate. Hard to believe it was written several year ago Good book! I can see that this could really happen in our country today. I enjoyed the book very much but the editing took away so much. This was probably the worse case of editing I have seen in a book. If not for that I could have easily have give it five stars! Kinda weird. Could not believe how stupid this book was. And yet, I could not put the stupid thing down. In the end, I did have a good laugh. Intriguing As we are in the middle of election season, this book raises questions of how are "they" elected? This is quite an enjoyable story! It did need another proofread to fix the missing quotation marks and typos. Other than those minor irritations, this is a story well plotted. Would have given it 4 stars....

Seeing Cutter display unusual skills, the current president asks if Cutter can assist him solving crimes that fall through the cracks of bureaucracy. Cutter - along with Franz, his constant canine companion - agrees to try. Members Reviews: Enjoyable. Lots of fun. All the elements, thriller as a story, a dog sidekick that understands german. A protagonist learning about basic emotion as a subplot. The number of typos was ridiculous, the editors should be fired and forced the enroll in a remedial English . course. The plot was good, but it was a difficult read due to the number Of typos, an eight grader would not pass an English lit class with this many errors. Where do get your editors? Of Enjoyable book Interesting story with vivid descriptions of locations, Vail Co. Taos N.M. Etc. Cutter is an interesting character that I look forward to following in future. I have the second book to read next. Five Stars loved it!!! Highly recommend this book! Highly recommend this mystery. I would normally downgrade the rating because of all the errors, such as "thought" instead of "through", "house" instead of "hours", and tons of areas where it looks like changes were made that messed up the sentence and you had to figure it out. Obviously, a good editor is needed before these books are published, though book 2 didn't have as many errors as book 1. That being said, I didn't mark it down because I just couldn't put the books down! The main character is so unique and intriguing, pulling all the other characters into his sphere and helping to solve the mystery. Other than the sentence/word errors, the books are highly well written and the plots keep you deep into the story.

Baugh Roy Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 4 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Political Publisher's Summary: A former FBI cryptologist and now Tangipahoa Parish Deputy Sheriff, Haley Browder, has begun a nice quiet lifestyle living and working on a bayou north of New Orleans. That is, until an FBI Agent, Serena Keith, is discovered murdered and dumped in the swampy bayou. Haley is recruited by the FBI in DC to decipher the murdered agent's cryptic investigative notes that were prepared just before her murder. The person recruiting Haley is her former mentor, FBI Deputy Director Steve McMann, whom she also had a prior personal relationship with that ended badly. The cryptic notes are anticipated to identify suspected corruption at several levels in the government, stemming from the theft of millions in FEMA Hurricane Katrina recovery funds. Haley is suddenly the next target of those who want the investigation to be thwarted. She is assisted by United States Marshall Jay Thibodaux in attempting to get her revealing report to the proper and trusted authorities. Trouble is, just who does she trust, since there are FBI insiders in the criminal conspiracy, as well as New Orleans crime family members. Trying to stay underground while the threats to her are identified, Haley has another small issue: the deciphered notes indicate that someone in the marshall's family, a known New Orleans crime family, is also involved in the conspiracy and Haley can't be certain of his intentions. Meanwhile, the FBI's investigation tracks the millions in stolen money to the Cayman Islands and then ultimately to Cairo, Egypt, where more lives are at stake. This part of the investigation leads to confirmed high-level Capitol Hill government corruption, as well as to in-house high-level FBI activity that compromises the integrity of the agency. Take a trip with Haley as she finds herself running for her life, while hoping she can trust the man who hired her as well as the man who is trying to hide her. Members Reviews: Good story amateur narration The story was interesting and even gripping as a political thriller. Romance scene unnecessarily drawn out for a book that isn't a romance novel. What almost made me stop listening was the performance. She has a sweet voice that could not pull off the male voices and the accents on both male and female characters were mostly embarrassing. Little change in "sing song" tempo throughout.

Hudson Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 27 mins Language: English Release date: 12-28-16 Publisher: Frank L. Williams Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Political Publisher's Summary: Chaos. Conflict. Lawlessness. An uncertain future in a strange place. The American republic has crumbled. Joshua Winston, a reluctant leader who had hoped to enjoy a quiet, peaceful retirement from politics, is forced off of the sidelines. Now, he must lead a group of Americans determined to survive in the dangerous new world they face. He takes great pains to steer his group clear of the chaos that reigns after the republic, but fears that the conflict will inevitably find its way to them. Members Reviews: It has prospects I enjoyed this book and look forward to the obvious sequel. The characters were a bit redundant, I thought, as the same story of what had happened in the beginning of the book was repeated many times over by the various characters. I got it the first time and after about the fourth time, I was a bit annoyed. However, that being said, I look forward to perhaps a sequel that will have a bit more substance and go into the survival aspect more throughly. At first, I thought I was re-reading "One Second After", a thought provoking book about survival in western North Carolina after a global event. This book needs a bit more diversity. Okay read but needs real characters Good read and acceptably paced. However, there were some character issues, some of which were quite serious. First there is Kane. There is nothing to his character other than his ability to shoot his rifle and climb very well. He never speaks other than to say "Yes Sir" and then disappear to do what he was told. Is he mentally disabled? He seems to have absolutely NO ability to do anything other than what he is told. Then he breaks down multiple times after Bob dies and we are not told why. We are not informed as to why they are so close either. Are they a couple? Second is Bob. Tough as leather ex-military. Every good after the fall story needs one, standard fare. But once again we have a shallow character. He died in a weird way. Keep in mind that Bob was this expert in military tactics. He was in a battle, he got to his friend Joshua to save him, now here is the weird part. This expert then proceeds to IGNORE his surroundings and cut Joshua loose. Knowing there could possibly MORE terrorists he doesn't check out the area. He actually turns his back to the church where he KNOWS there were some terrorists ant more could possibly still be inside. He sure isn't the expert we were led to believe. There are other things, most of them minor. The thing that would make his writing better would be to flesh out his characters more. They are all basically shells with a thin veneer covering them. This is a good try at writing by an amateur writer. He obviously does not earn his living as a writer. Barely concealed religious themes The end of civil society is just ok. I'm not a fan of Christian fiction and the overtones were subtle but became more prevalent. It could have been better without the "message". I need more books from this author! After the Republic is a fast paced and intrigue filled story that sucked me in right from the start. I planned to read 60 pages when I first sat down with it and instead read 205. Each scene was complex but still flowed with a dynamic that made it a natural read. The characters all felt very familiar to me, and that aspect also added to my enjoyment. Mr. Williams expresses a perspective within this genre that speaks to me and many of my friends.

As a senator's daughter and top investigator in the homicide division of the Metropolitan Police Department, Fiona maneuvers between two vastly different worlds, moving quickly from opulent state galas to gritty crime scenes. Born into the elite social circles of the nation's capital, and armed with intimate knowledge of the true face of the political establishment, Fiona is determined to expose the chicanery concealed within the highest echelons of the American political aristocracy. Former Washington Post reporter Jason Martin knows there's something secretive going on in the high echelons of politics, and he's determined to find a way to prove it. Beautiful and naïve Dorothy Curtis becomes the key to Jason's plan, which he hopes will put them both back on track. Can he give the sextet of the most powerful men in Washington an expiration date on their greedy endeavors? When Dorothy's body is found at the bottom of the Duke Ellington Memorial Bridge, everyone assumes it was suicide over a lover. But Fiona Fitzgerald has her doubts. Fiona knows that in this town, power and money come before love. Unfortunately, this death hits a little too close to home, and Fiona wrestles with her own feelings about love as she finds herself empathizing with Dorothy. When Fiona and Jason collide, the power lies in the truths they reveal, truths that will bring down the sextet and help them both come to terms with their own demons. Members Reviews: A solid thriller with unforgettable characters Where does American Sextet rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? It's a solid mystery, well written and well paced. I'd say it's in the top 80% of audioboks I've listened to. What did you like best about this story? The character of Dorothy, and the interwoven plot. What about Lillian Yvess performance did you like? Lillian Yves' read was very smooth and engaging. It was easy to follow the multiple characters and she added just the right amount of acting to keep the story exciting. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? The opening drew me in and kept me going. No extreme reaction, just a solid, interesting mystery. What a tangled web he weaves... What did you love best about American Sextet? Definitely the character of Dorothy and the sweetness she brings to a story filled with corruption What other book might you compare American Sextet to and why? American Quartet, the first book in the Fiona Fitzgerald Mysteries series. I prefer this book as I am enjoying seeing the development of Fiona as a character. What does Lillian Yves bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? She brings all the characters to life in a way that I don't think I would have appreciated by reading the book myself. Her voice modernises the story and brings it forward to the 21st century beautifully. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? 'No Place for Good Women'

It involves four dynasties, a Lebanese-American Journalist, an impassioned college professor, a security contractor, a flamboyant hitman, a rebel hacker, a megalomaniac, and a smart, idiosyncratic heiress. There are nine episodes in Season One. Sheila's point of view is central in Swept Away, Dinner Invitation, and Visitors.

Members Reviews: It was okay I can't say I'd recommend this book. It's more of an audio drama than a book. Book 1 started out a little slow for me, but then it got quite interesting with very detailed lesbian sex scenes. I would NOT recommend this to anyone under 18. Book 2 started out similar, focusing on the 2 main women from book 1. Then it switches to 2 other characters, Irene and Davin, and their relationship with hardly a mention of the 2 women. Book 3 is all focused on Davin, and how Irene's father puts out a bit on him. There is absolutely no mention of the first 2 women or Irene. The fourth book switches focus as well. I found it very irritating that each book seems almost unrelated to each other. The narration wasn't too bad. Each of the narrators did a decent job.

Title: The Eden Legacy Author: Harold Gershowitz Narrator: Adam Paul Format: Unabridged Length: 14 hrs and 23 mins Language: English Release date: 10-20-16 Publisher: Harold Gershowitz Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Political Publisher's Summary: June 4, 1967, was supposed to be a high point in Noah Greenspan's year. It's the night before the grand opening of Potomac Centre, the urban development project he spearheaded in the heart of Washington, DC. But the outbreak of the Six-Day War in the Middle East eclipses the event. In the aftermath of the short, bloody war, Noah's fiancee, Palestinian American journalist Alexandra Salaman, is assigned to Israel to cover the political implications for Israelis and Palestinians alike. It's a dangerous task, partly because Alexandra was, years earlier, instrumental in preventing a terrorist attack and partly because she's a Christian Arab engaged to Noah, a Jew. Such a marriage is certain to arouse anger from either side of the Israeli-Palestinian divide. As Noah deals with legal and financial challenges to Potomac Centre, he and Alexandra find their relationship challenged by her insistence on staying in Israel to do her job - and by reunions with old lovers. Neither knows that a figure from Alexandra's past, the terrorist Omar Samir, plans to strike deep in the heart of the American capital. His target? Potomac Centre. The Eden Legacy continues the story of an Arab-Jewish relationship begun in Heirs of Eden. Members Reviews: Another Absorbing Read The Eden Legacy is either a stand-alone novel or a sequel to The Heirs of Eden --depending whether you have read the author's earlier book. Either way, this is a fast, engrossing book which, once started, is difficult to put down until finished. While the ultimate outcome may be predicable (or is it hopeful?), it matters not. There is intrigue, love, politics, Arabs and Jews in the book--all intertwined into a tale of circumstances affecting the lives of its principal characters simultaneously. One ends the book wondering what happens next to them. In any event, read the book; you won't be disappointed. A great read The Eden Legacy, a wonderful sequel to Heirs of Eden, continues its journey with Alexandra Salaman, a journalist, and Noah Greenspan, a businessman, as once again, their relationship is tested in the aftermath of the 1967 Arab-Israeli Six-Day War. The book explores the question of whether their love can overcome their differences as a Christian Arab-American and as a Jewish-American. Rich in historical facts and details, the novel combines a suspenseful plot and powerful love story, and is successful at both. Good fiction and great histoical basis Good fiction and great histoical basis. I learned a lot about a time i lived through but didn't fully understand. Love,action and Intrigue in the explosive Middle East. Readers of Hal Gershowitz's Heirs of Eden will not be disappointed with his followup novel "The Eden Legacy" The story continues with the building of the hugely successful Potomac center shopping mall in Washington D.C. Noah and Alexandra,deeply in love are planning their wedding to take place at the grand opening.

I like that Noah speaks all the male lines and Erin speaks all the female lines regardless of who POV it currently is. I've often wondered why other narrators didn't do this. I would recommend this series to anyone who enjoys suspense romance. HEA and no cliffhanger. .

McIntosh Narrator: Cynthia Hemminger Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 27 mins Language: English Release date: 06-17-16 Publisher: EntropyPress Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Political Publisher's Summary: The Big Show chronicles Jocelyn McLaren's involvement with a presidential election. As her history of working for a US defense conglomerate collides with global finance and murder, her future becomes increasingly unstable. Will she survive? Based on a true story "Tell me. What would happen if the general public stopped believing that it was their votes that had wrought such misfortune? If they did not believe they could vote the problem away? Where would they turn their ire if they weren't blaming each other?" Members Reviews: Couldn't put it down, an action-packed real life thriller that connects ALL the dots! Once again, I spent two eager nights reading Rachael's third book, The Big Show, and thoroughly enjoyed it. This can only be written by someone who was there, and lived it, and you get to live it with the author as you read this book. Her writing style is fun, entertaining AND educational, and the characters come to life through her unique and detailed writing style. The suspense and action in this book is ramped up, and after reading the first and second books a lot of the pieces all collide together for the reader in an action-packed read that won't let you put it down! What now? Book 4 will be highly anticipated by myself and I'm sure everyone who has followed Jocelyn McLaren's journey from a naive yet determined marketing manager of a huge defense contractor (a.k.a. 'the conglomerate'), to a grassroots political activist, to fighting for her life and questioning everything she thought she believed in. This is a must read! I highly recommend this, and all of Rachael L. McIntosh's books to anyone and everyone. Pulling back the curtain on the US political process "The Big Show," the third book in the "Security through Absurdity" series, starts where "Bubbles Will Pop" left off and hits the ground running. Author Rachael McIntosh wastes no time throwing the reader into a world of conspiracy, blackmail and assassination. Jocelyn McLaren, the protagonist, is still discovering that this world exists and how it affects here, which it definitely does. The reader is privy to information that Jocelyn is not, and we hope that she discovers what she needs to before it is too late. Unbeknownst to her, Jocelyn's involvement with a presidential campaign (transparently modeled after Ron Paul's run in 2012), is putting her in the cross-hairs, literally. Over the course of the book, several characters and plot lines converge at the Republican National Convention in Florida. The inside perspective of this event, which was not televised, is fascinating, and rips the mask off of politics and media. People who supported Bernie Sanders in the 2016 race will recognize much of it: the shady, backroom manipulations and the open repression of dissent to support an establishment candidate over the populist figure. Everything builds to a fever pitch and then -- the book ends in another cliffhanger. Other readers will undoubtedly share my frustration that book four in the series, "The Peanut Butter Pipeline," is not yet out! THREE CHEERS (AND FIVE STARS) FOR VOLUME THREE A superb finish to the trilogy. Fast-paced, mixing action and suspense with humor, and fiction with reality. The author was an alternate delegate at the 2012 GOP Tampa Convention, supporting Ron Paul.

There is something just too perfect about the life of Frances "Frankie" McGuire - mother, Irish Catholic congresswoman from Boston, and powerful pro-life senator. Sergeant Fiona Fitzgerald, daughter of a Senator, takes nothing at face value, especially when politics are involved. Everyone in Washington has a secret, and the senator's personal world turns out to be much more complicated than anyone ever knew. A pregnancy, an estranged husband, a mistress, and the fragility of life - both wanted and unwanted - collide, leaving Fiona to sort out the consequences of the messy case. Fiona faces the issues of abortion and women's rights just as she is contemplating her own pregnancy, with or without a steady man in her life. Members Reviews: Immaculate Deception Any additional comments? I received a free copy of this audio book in exchange for an honest review. This was an alright book. It wasn't as good as previous books in the series, but characterization was good and Fiona was interesting. The case was good, and deals with suicide and abortion. It deals with it in a natural manner, making it easy to understand both sides of the argument concerning these issues.

With their American background, Jake and Sarah are quickly seconded to help the Mossad response team try and apprehend the extremely organized terrorists. Sadly, the Mossad team leader is killed by a terrorist sniper bullet intended for Sarah, and Jake takes over the team leadership as they work with the Americans, carefully backtracking to check who could be benefitting from the disastrous, ongoing collapse of Israel. Their trail leads them to a lethal enemy from Jake's past and in a nail-biting climax, with the world watching, they race against the clock to stop the deadliest attack of all. Members Reviews: Predictable and boring There was not enough action in this book. The character is supposed to be a well know assassin and so clever but he seems to make a lot of stupid mistakes that should leave him dead. Instead he comes out on top in a not to thrilling way. Very boring books. I have read the first two books in this series and I am not sure I would read any more. Assassin 2 I downloaded the book as it was free. I did not enjoy the book the hero/ heroine came across as to soft. A poor story. I will not be purchasing the other assassin series books. Five Stars Good Plot and Good star characters. Also fast paced and an enjoyable read. Interesting plot and continuing characters from the series Well thought out plot, well written action and not to much blood and gore. I will continue and read the next book in the series. So far book one was better than two but both are worth reading. This book was a good, light read This book was a good, light read. The author is developing the main two characters is a slow, methodical way that allows the readers to want more.

They're all trying to fix her up with a new man - her Italian parents, her best friend, Judy, even the office security guard. But all Mary wants to do is immerse herself in her latest assignment - representing the Brandolini estate. The roots of the case go back many years, to when Amadeo Brandolini emigrated to Philadelphia and became a successful businessman. But at the outbreak of WWII, he was interned by the FBI and lost everything - including his life. Now the family want Mary to fight for justice.... Members Reviews: We have law but very little justice I find something to love in all of Lisa's books. This one involve an attractive, young, wealthy, single woman now a federal judge who leads a double life. Hard to imagine some one in a powerful public position, willing to put every bit of their respect and integrity on the line to dabble in things we associate with being a degenerate. Yet, we see all the time how the mighty do fall; politicians, religious zealots, teachers, law enforcement, doctors. When a high-profile case comes to the court room and literally explodes, the judge has to wrestle with the fact she may have lit the fuse. Litigants involved come to be murdered and committing suicide; more blood on the judge's hands. Then her life is scrutinized which pulls in those close to her. To try to stop things from unraveling she returns to her hometown only to come to a startling realization about the secret lives of her parents now both deceased. We have law, but very little justice and at times revenge is the only justice to be found. Over the top The book was a bit over the top when it came to how one woman could handle so much in her job with one case. The plot was good but getting there at times was a bit dragged out, It did move along. Enjoy the history of the interment camp in Colorado during WW2, and there was not much courtroom time. I liked Scottoline's book Every Where that Mary Went much better. I'll try another read by her at some future time. I went on a trip to Montana and into history First of all I am a fan of Lisa Scottoline and Rissotto and Associates. I never knew about Italian Americans being put in internment camps. So it was an eye opener. I was able to relate to Mary and cheer for her. These girls seem to always get into trouble and get out through their wit. Girl power! Love court room drama too. Great story, need new narrator Scottoline is a wonderful author who has diversified her style and type of story. Rosato & Associates is a favorite series of mine. I LISTEN to the audiobook versions of most books as it is so flexible to do when doing other things, driving, housework, laundry and such. As a result, Barbara Rosenblatt, previous narrator of most of the series, has PERSONIFIES the characters. This is so much so, that it feels as though, if one of the characters phoned you, you would know who it was by the voice Barbara uses, just a real person. The narrator in THIS new one does not capture the personalities. I mean Judy does not have a high-pitched giggly girl voice. I can't STAND it!! I've written to three authors my entire life. As many books as I read, this is so very low. Ms. Scottoline responded that the narrator was changed because Scottoline changed publishers and Rosenblatt isn't contracted with the new publisher.

Saving Texas Audiobook by Nancy Stancill

Title: Saving Texas Author: Nancy Stancill Narrator: Paul Curtis Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 12 mins Language: English Release date: 08-28-17 Publisher: Beacon Audiobooks Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Political Publisher's Summary: Houston reporter Annie Price is looking for a career-defining story when she profiles Tom Marr. The state's first secessionist candidate for governor. But the big Texas story comes with more than she bargains for -- a corrupt college president, a dangerous ex-CIA agent and a beautiful, deadly Peruvian assassin. Before long, Annie must grapple with two murders, political shenanigans and a love triangle that will test the limits of her ethics and her heart. Will she be able to get the story before her struggling newspaper implodes or her ruthless enemies get her? Author Nancy Stancill, formerly a reporter for the Houston Chronicle for 15 years, goes behind the headlines and deep into the gritty heart of journalism and politics in today's Texas. Members Reviews: Texas Secession, Fraud, and Murder Reporters Annie Price and her best friend Maddy Daniels are on separate assignments for their Houston newspaper, but it soon becomes clear that the two assignments have elements in common. Annie has been covering a newly declared candidate for governor, Tom Marr, a state legislator who has Texas secession as a key plank in his platform while Maddy has been digging into questionable contracting practices at Middle Texas College. The college chancellor happens to be Marr's close friend, Ed Gonzales, who is also in charge of Marr's campaign finances. The two reporters pool resources to find out more about possible fraud at the college and to what extent Marr's campaign is tainted by the college's activities. There are a few hot topics and current issues such as border security and the changes occurring in the newspaper business woven into a well plotted conspiracy thriller. Classic investigative journalism is the centerpiece of the story as Price and Daniels use traditional methods complete with insider whistleblowers to uncover fraud and malfeasance in their state. There are murders to solve too for a mystery to go along with the thriller aspects of the story plus a romantic subplot. Recommended. Action-packed thriller In "Saving Texas," first-time author Nancy Stancill introduces her readers to Annie Price, a reporter for the fictitious Houston Times. The novel begins with Annie getting a tip about an up-and-coming West Texas politician named Tom Marr who plans to run for governor on a platform which would have Texas secede from the United States. I couldnât help smiling when I read, in chapter one, Marrâs mission: âSaving Texas from the corruption and stupidity in Washington. Making Texas great again.â [I wonder if someone commandeered her candidateâs slogan for use in this yearâs election.] Annie sets out to cover the campaign, a journey which will lead to the uncovering of vast corruption and political intrigue destined to change her life and the lives of those closest to her. "Saving Texas" is an intricately woven story with a tight plot containing twists and turns worthy of Charles Dickens, but perhaps its greatest strength comes from its characters. Annie is the embodiment of print journalists today who are struggling in an on-line world. Editors used to âcut and pasteâ for the copy layout, but now it is the editors and reporters themselves who are cut (and cut and cut) and âpastedâ into new, combined positions with little job security.

The Lines of Union Audiobook by K.C. Bryce Fitzgerald

Bryce Fitzgerald Format: Unabridged Length: 14 hrs and 14 mins Language: English Release date: 12-23-16 Publisher: C4 Books Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Political Publisher's Summary: From debut-author and filmmaker K.C. Bryce Fitzgerald, The Lines of Union is a powerfully written and starkly honest novel that captures America's cultural zeitgeist with a bold, fresh vision that is at once grand, intimate, and heartbreaking. The United States is on the brink of war. It's August, 2023, and political unrest is sweeping the nation. Banking giant Citi-Chase-Capitol-Morgan has bought out the government, the Internet is censored, and hardcore conservatives have joined the New Secession Coalition. It is a dark time for America. However, somewhere in the Mojave Desert, once voice has dared to stand up to corruption. His name is John Herald, and his wildly popular Internet talk show "The Herald" has become a rallying cry for progressive reformists nationwide. Together with a motley crew of hacktivists, volunteers, and a crazy one-legged Iraq veteran named Harry "The Lieutenant" Harper, John leads a growing movement to fix the broken government. But John's whole world changes the day he meets Christina Freidman, a beautiful enigma who unwittingly reunites him with his formed best friend turned nemesis Alexander Avalon: the handsome heir to Citi-Chase-Capitol-Morgan. Alex has returned to proclaim loyalty to John and his movement...but there's just one problem. Alex is in love with Christina. And so is John. Torn between a man he doesn't trust, the woman he loves, and the revolutionaries he inspired, John is forced to choose between friend, lover, and country. The price? One wrong choice could plunge America into its second Civil War. Members Reviews: In this day and age of uncertainty it's a joy to read Could not be more timely. In this day and age of uncertainty it's a joy to read. Five Stars Great read! A Well-Written Triumph It is a world you donât ever want to live in, but it is also a world that is inevitable. Censorship is commonplace, omnipotent over freedom. Set only 7 years in the future, the world has become a mash up of apocalyptic suppression and simmering beliefs. Expressions of emotions are intense and sharp, and words are used like weapons. In the superb âThe Lines of Unionâ, author K.C. Bryce Fitzgerald ornately depicts a world that though different than modern day, is entirely familiar and believable. The novelâs opening immediately pulls in the reader with the descriptive representation of the books titular hero, John Herald. A man who is not so unlike other fictional characters that have come before him, John is wounded and torn. He is also beyond intelligent and driven to foster a world where politics can be used as a tool to unite the separate factions of the world, not to destroy them. A hero to many, John is a rogue. The structure of the novel fits his personality and development perfectly in that it plays out like a road movie, replete with frequent setting changes and the introduction of minor characters that help to clarify to the reader some of Johnâs more latent traits. The chasm between Johnâs tendency to internalize his turmoil and his clear ability to harness the morale of his followers is interesting in several ways. These fissures are what makes John so believable yet complicated. He is not a rock â unfeeling nor warm. Instead, heâs a proliferation of what makes a satisfying protagonist. Told in 5 books, âThe Lines of Unionâ moves at a fervent pace.

Title: Washington Masquerade Subtitle: Fiona Fitzgerald Mystery, Book 8 Author: Warren Adler Narrator: Rachel Perry Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 11 mins Language: English Release date: 09-20-16 Publisher: Stonehouse Productions Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Political Publisher's Summary: Detective Fiona Fitzgerald is an unlikely force for justice in Washington, D.C.'s predominantly male police force. As a senator's daughter and top investigator in the homicide division of the Metropolitan Police Department, Fiona maneuvers between two vastly different worlds, moving quickly from opulent galas to gritty crime scenes. Born into the elite social circles of the nation's capital, and armed with intimate knowledge of the true face of the political establishment, Fiona is determined to expose the chicanery concealed within the highest echelons of the American political aristocracy. Adam Burns, Washington Post columnist and controversial presidential critic, is dead. With no clear circumstances, speculation, gossip, and rumor flood the media - was it accident, suicide, or murder? Conspiracy theories run amok, accusing none other than the president of the United States. Was Adam Burns the target of a government hit squad? Did someone decide to silence his diatribes once and for all? Days roar by, pressure mounts, clues mislead, intuition betrays. Can Fiona clear the president's name? Is one woman enough to stop a nation out for blood? Members Reviews: Great Cop Story! I find myself reading fictions that take place in places I where I have lived or am quite familiar- Los Angeles, Washington, DC, Florida (the latter more often in the humorous genre). This one's in DC and Detective Fiona Fitzgerald is a force majuer. Nothing funny here but a darn good murder mystery with good cops, law enforcement rivalries between the various DC and Federal law enforcement entities, a starving media looking for scandals to bring more eyeballs to their papers and the stinking partisan rivalries that taint our capital today. This one is hard to put down. I've not read much Adler but I will buy some more of his stories. Highly recommended. What happens after? The book was hard to put down. I read through to the end. I wanted more closure on how the solution affected the characters: the Burns, McGraw, and Owens families as well as the guilty person. I would like for the author to refer back to the characters in his next book to update the effect this had on the characters Great read. It seemed to be taken from today's headlines - the paranoia in Washington, etc. I really enjoyed the book and would read more Fiola Fitzgerald mysteries. Surprise Ending - Great Buildup Kept me interested from day one. Definitely a page turner. It was fun to read and really kept my attention until the end. slow plotting and mediocre mystery I sometimes like mysteries where the plot is secondary to the atmosphere. I'm a Chandler fan, after all, and that was his forte at least some of the time. However, it gets pretty hard to take when the setting is only interesting in some of its aspects, and the characters are less compelling than they ought to be. Fiona Fitzgerald is a homicide detective in Washington DC. She grew up there because her father was a senator. In this instance, Fiona and her new partner Izzy (a black Jew, no less) investigate the death of a prominent conservative political columnist, who fell, jumped, or was pushed in front of an subway train. Since he was in disguise, wearing a fake mustache and glasses he didn't need, things are very confusing, to all but the reader.

Title: The Ties That Bind Author: Warren Adler Narrator: Lillian Yves Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 15 mins Language: English Release date: 10-11-16 Publisher: Stonehouse Productions Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Political Publisher's Summary: The Ties That Bind is book seven of Warren Adler's nine-book Fiona Fitzgerald Mystery Series, currently in development as a new TV series entitled Capitol Crimes. Detective Fiona Fitzgerald is an unlikely force for justice in Washington, D.Cs predominantly male police force. As a Senator's daughter and top investigator in the homicide division of the Metropolitan Police Department, Fiona maneuvers between two vastly different worlds, moving quickly from opulent State galas to gritty crime scenes. Born into the elite social circles of the nation's capital, and armed with intimate knowledge of the true face of the political establishment, Fiona is determined to expose the chicanery concealed within the highest echelons of the American political aristocracy. The Ties That Bind: Rumors are abuzz at the Supreme Court that an associate justice has a not-so-secret sadomasochistic fetish. When Metropolitan Police detective Fiona Fitzgerald is called in to investigate the city's latest gruesome murder that involves S&M, she is forced to look at these rumors - and face her own painful memories. But when Fiona discovers a connection between an old acquaintance and the dead girl, she is determined to prove that the secrets of sexual aberration and the fear of exposure are the driving factors of this murder. As her personal drive to make peace with her past collides with criminal sexual conduct, Fiona finds herself in harm's way. Is her desire for revenge impairing the investigation? Members Reviews: What a twist of an ending~ A+ Wow! This book was a dark trip down memory lane for both of the female etectives assigned to the newest homicide dealing with a high powered woman. It was interesting to watch Fiona get a female partner, wasn't sure how she would take the change. You watch both of the female detectives have their own idea (that they are certain is right) for their own personal reasons of who done it in this crime. I was extremely surprised at Fiona's reason that lead to a nail biting ending. A must read in the Fiona Fitzgerald Mystery. A+ No holds barred. This is another Fiona FitzGerald mystery that closely resembles the Levy/Condit story. (See my review under Warren Adler's Senator Love.) This time, it's a young intern to a Supreme Court Justice who is found brutally murdered. In my opinion, this is the best Fiona mystery to date. Intelligent, engrossing, and with no holds barred.

Title: Banquet Before Dawn Author: Warren Adler Narrator: Will Tulin Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 39 mins Language: English Release date: 07-07-16 Publisher: Stonehouse Productions Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Political Publisher's Summary: After serving his Brooklyn district for years, Congressman Sullivan discovers that his once comfortable Irish-American majority has given way to a diverse district of blacks and Hispanics. Challenged by a more liberal opponent, he tries everything possible to maintain his seat only to painfully learn that he and his views are outdated and irrelevant to today's world. But he doesn't bow out of the race gracefully, and the fierce ensuing campaign brings new insights to the meaning of democracy and the terrors of a swiftly changing world. If, as it is said, all politics are local, this compelling story transcends politics and puts a human face on how the American democratic system really operates. Unforgettable characters and a powerful plot offer a remarkable and tense story of how tragic endings affect new beginnings. Members Reviews: A Found Gem I had the great fortune to narrate the audiobook version of Banquet before Dawn. As an avid reader myself, it is a true pleasure when my work brings me material of this caliber. This darkly eye-opening and riveting tale of the underbelly of American politics is an example of expert story-telling, mastery of language and living, breathing multi-dimensional characters. The challenge of bringing these characters to life was a transformative experience and I am a better performer for having met that challenge. An honest tale of a politician in changing times Actor Jason Robards once expressed his desire to play the lead part of Banquet Before Dawn if it ever made it to the big screen. How wonderful this might have been: Robards giving one more grand performance as Congressman Sullivan in his last struggle for the love of the voter. There's a great story in Banquet Before Dawn -- Robards saw it well. So how does this novel by Warren Adler suit the ordinary reader like you and me? (To know your reviewer: in general I'm a reader of both serious works by authors such as J.M. Coetzee and J.G. Ballard, and purely entertaining works by authors such as Warren Adler, Simenon.) First of all I enjoyed the way the main character is portrayed: an old Congressman who finds himself in a new era. He's from another time and he finds himself unable to to connect with the new generations of the 1970s (Banquet Before Dawn was originally published in 1976) that live in his district. When he goes out to shake hands, the average reply he gets sounds like: "No comprendo." That's tough. To add to his feelings of disorientation in a changing world there are private difficulties of marriage and love. Then a new opponent arrives, young, energetic and in touch with the changing population. Should he fight or retire? I was mesmerized by his situation, his old, trusted world falling apart and nothing to replace it. One man goes with the flow and retires, the other man stays put. Sullivan stays put. For me it was also an interesting look into the American world of "campaigning", with its banquets and press conferences and gatherings. Adler even cooks up some surprises and serious life threatening situations that suit the story. Congressman Sullivan is now one of those literary friends I remember fondly, in spite of all his faults. My love for the intricacies of political intrigue go back to ... My love for the intricacies of political intrigue go back to my first reading of 'The Moon is a Harsh Mistress' as a teen.

A world where greed turns the wheels of state. A world where environmental concerns take a back seat to the vast machine of global commerce. Billionaire ecophilanthropist Charles Langham is determined to change that. Langham implores the United Nations General Assembly to take a more active role in combating famine and the deforestation of rainforests, reversing extinction rates, and promoting alternative fuels. But this environmental plea has teeth. Langham gives the UN one week to comply, or he will force their hand. US President Mike Read, calling Langham an eco-terrorist, has found the excuse he needs to remove Langham from the equation. Permanently. In Gary Paul Stephenson's gripping thriller, The Pacific Affair, Langham will stand against the might of a nation and uncover whatever sinister forces pull its strings. The second novel in the Charles Langham series, The Atlantic Affair will be available shortly. Members Reviews: Great Concept! I really enjoyed the concept in The Pacific Affair. Given the state of the environment and the seeming inability of the world's governments to tackle the issues in a timely manner, I thought the story was intriguing. I loved that the whole Langham family was involved in the story, and that Charles built an organization where so many people were able to dedicate themselves to the cause. The writing was a little stiff and while the tale is suspenseful, it was hard, at times, to believe Charles Langham's luck in always staying a step ahead of the forces working against him. I greatly appreciated the discussion about man's role in both harming and also helping to save the earth. It's great food for thought. And the attention to detail, whether in descriptions of the amazing vehicles involved in the story or the political entities involved made the whole story more believable. An engaging read The author has made great efforts, and successfully, to bring one's attention to the urgency of saving the earth and protecting and saving the livelihood of all living beings. The plot and dialogue is intriguing, effectively juxtaposing the dark side of humanity, politics and greed with compassion, camaraderie and philanthropy. The attention to details is fascinating. Taken together they make the book an engaging read, purposefully holding and arousing the interest and curiousity of the reader. I am looking forward to Gary's next masterpiece. Good read. Political and environmental issuesâ sounds difficult topic to read, but this book was great! Easy to read and understand. Canât wait the next adventure of Charles Langham! Good Piece Of Escapism. Charles Langham, billionaire and environmentalist, is trying to save the world from its certain extinction through climate change. Helped by a team of highly qualified eco warriors such as himself he soon comes up against one of his greatest adversaries- the morally bankrupt President of the United States. The first novel in an ongoing series âThe Pacific Affairâ by Gary Paul Stephenson takes the reader through a roller coaster of adventures and touches on subjects the global community are currently faced with. Climate change, political corruption and greed are in the headlines right now but unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a real life Charles Langham sailing the world in his super yacht to save us. Although improbable in parts this novel would translate well to film.

If you're a fan of authors like SE Hinton, Dale Brown, Mark Dawson, or Larry Bond, then you do not want to miss The Keeper Returns! Members Reviews: The killing has begun again. Just a little left-over cleanup. Gunfire sounds, a prisoner is removed by the opposition to be used against his own family. The traitor. A new player in the game appears. He has a history with Management but it seems he has his own plans now. Revenge and power are his aim. The killing has begun again. Just a little left-over cleanup. A family in hiding is pulled back into the "quiet war" again. The father thought he had a chance to raise his children in peace away from conflict. Then it comes to his door. You have a good reason to be paranoid because they really are collecting your most delicate information. You have no privacy. Even the President can be hurt in the cross-fire of these powerful groups. And amongst all this, Wallis is trying to raise her son and dealing with his real-life growing pains. The most sacred of secrets is whispered by a dying friend. The death of one woman unleashes retribution and it can't be covered up. A decision is made to go to war.

Kindle Unlimited, one of series Kindle Unlimited, think actually got one of her books from one of my freebie sites and have now hit the finish line with 6, at least for this series, and not being a huge fan of 'thrillers' that is saying that she has held my attention.

Black's Beach Parallax Audiobook by Scott Spade

Title: Black's Beach Parallax Subtitle: A Vibrant Tale of Government Secrets and Layered Realities Author: Scott Spade Narrator: Ken Solin Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 55 mins Language: English Release date: 12-15-16 Publisher: Scott Spade Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Political Publisher's Summary: Jack's personal life evolves in parallel with his undercover activities. His perspectives change as he matures and becomes entangled in the counterculture. Jack acquires a deeper understanding of the American political system and the pivotal events of the time, challenging long held beliefs. Experimental social arrangements like group living and open relationships become common. Jack shuns soul-killing jobs; soundly rejecting the lives of quiet desperation so vividly expressed by Thoreau, and seeks inventive income sources to support an unconventional lifestyle. Jack's adventures connect him to an odd cast of characters: gambling engineers, seductive secretaries, slick poker players, innovative social workers, nude dancers, Swiss bankers, secret government operatives, shrewd investors, karate experts, sexual freedom advocates, sleazy bar patrons, and veiled CIA agents. Greater San Diego provides the main venue for this work. The story line accurately depicts global events of the period 1962 through 1975, including inflation of the military-industrial complex, Cuban missile crisis, assassination of President Kennedy, and Vietnam War. Actual reckless actions by US military and political leaders are revealed, actions that come within a hair's breadth of causing America's destruction. The story line involves real places, accurately depicted by an author-witness who lived it. . Members Reviews: Historical fiction with a terrific voice I liked Black's Beach Parallax because of its narrative memoir format that covered the time period of great turmoil and conflict and all of the secrets that the world is slowly learning. Even if you did not live in the 1960s, you can appreciate the depth of the research and the clarification of what was happening on a cultural, countercultural, political, and social level. I found plenty of references that I have forgotten about but are perfect to connect readers to the time period. There is so much going on, but the education of smart, poker-playing Jack is an education for the reader who is engrossed in this piece of historical fiction. Sometimes while I was reading I felt like I could easily compare the similarities of the world 50 years ago and today. This book can reach people on so many different levels and subjects, but the voice of the character kept me reading and made it most interesting. fiction that reads like fact Scott Spade's novel reads and is structured much like a biography/documentary. He even includes pictures, which are not usually found in a work of adult fiction. He recounts in detail the political and cultural events of the 60s and 70s. The historical facts are laced with conspiracy theories involving every level of government and a complicit media. If conspiracies are not your cup of tea, you will not enjoy this novel. Additionally, there are many scenes of free love and casual sex of the 60s which will be offensive to some readers. The novel gets 3 stars from me - although Amazon considers this 'critical' rather than 'positive' I don't mean it that way.

Damage Control Audiobook by Michael Bowen

Title: Damage Control Subtitle: The Josie Kendall Series, Book 1 Author: Michael Bowen Narrator: Marguerite Gavin Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 13 mins Language: English Release date: 12-06-16 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Political Publisher's Summary: When Jerzy Schroeder, a shadowy gray-market hustler and aspiring crony capitalist, is murdered while Josie Kendall is hitting him up for a million dollars to help him cash in on alternative-energy funding, the police suspect her of adultery and her husband, Rafe, of homicide. Josie, who works for Majority Values Coalition, an "activist fundraising organization", is a new but passionate Washington, DC player. Rafe, long a Washington insider, is passionate about Josie and about supporting her learning curve on how Washington works. For Josie and Rafe, this isn't a murder investigation but a political damage-control problem. They'll need a full arsenal, since, as one capital insider points out, "A damage control strategy that hasn't succeeded within 30 days has failed." They attack the issue with an array of finely tuned skills: strategic leaks, manipulation of the media, judicious use of inside information, and a flexible attitude toward the truth - plus the assistance of Josie's uncle Darius, a veteran spin doctor with surprising connections who is, luckily, out on parole. Along the way Josie will have to decide whether there are ethical lines that even she won't cross. In this House of Cards scenario, determining who actually murdered Schroeder is a low-priority problem, but Josie manages to do that as well. It's all in a day's - or, rather, 30 days' - work. Members Reviews: Great Political Murder Mystery Review The man standing beside her has just been shot dead by a sniper, her nice shirt has been ruined by his blood. Josie calls her boss first - then the police. With those formalities dealt with, Josie goes home to Rafe where the pair of them sit down to plan a strategy. No, not how to discover who murdered Jerzy Schroeder (though that would be useful information) but to bang out a strategy. Josie wants that million dollars and so meets with Jerzys ex wife Ann DeHoic, aka âthe grey ladyâ because she wears many shades of (perfectly matched) grey. Their meeting takes place in DeHoicâs Mercedes, DeHoic pals up to Josie because she want to get in on her ex husbands deal and, because Josie wants her money, negotiations commence, or maybe it is more apt to say the games begin! It is during their conversation that we get to learn a whole lot about Josieâs Cajun/Creole background and how she discovered her love for the machinations of the political world and lost her heart to Washington. Apart from all of this wheeling and dealing, Rafe has to clear his name of the suspicion of murder and Josie needs to fend off the accusation of adultery so there is quite a lot going on. I thought the characters of Rafe and Josie to be particularly well drawn as I found myself being quite shocked by their cold and calculating strategising. I did find some of the dialogue hard to follow as the author didn't provide enough speaker identifiers for my liking, but that is a personal preference. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a convoluted plot and a sharp witty story in a political setting. Copy provided by NetGalley and Poisoned Pen Press in return for an unbiased review political noir Josie Kendall, senior development director with political party MVC, almost has the million dollar investment from Jerzy Schroeder wrapped up when he is shot dead right in front of her.

Title: The Circle Rises Subtitle: The Wallis Jones Series, Book 4 Author: Martha Carr Narrator: Jill Smith Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 56 mins Language: English Release date: 01-22-18 Publisher: LMBPN Publishing Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Political Publisher's Summary: Death has come to Wallis Jones' world.... Despite the death of an undercover Circle operative close to Wallis Jones, she still wants a normal life, even as she realizes any distraction could lead to more dead bodies. She knows, deep down, that the shadow governments that surround her will never let normal happen. Its time to stand up and fight back, and it will take the help of everyone going into the battle with her. And when someone she loves is unexpectedly taken.... Wallis now knows that she can no longer refuse to get in the game. No more just defending her position, Wallis faces a soul-rending realization. Get up and fight! Nothing can take her back to what was.... Not in a world-wide conspiracy. Members Reviews: No more Mrs. Nice Guy We have read the previous books in this series and became fans of the devious author. Ms. Carr's mind is a very scary place. Her inside knowledge of Washington and the maneuvering that our elected officials do to gain power is mind-bending. It is exactly as all of us have feared - power for power's sake. The main character is a wife mother and lawyer. She is a woman continually forced to disconnect emotionally from the situations around her to function. It is not that she does not love, fear, or hate. The problem is she feels her emotions so deeply that if she allowed herself to experience them fully she would be paralyzed and unable to act, and someone would die. Her rock, her husband, is missing. The man that kidnapped him is already responsible for thousands of deaths, and he is not finished yet in his quest for power. The only thing she can be sure of is that more will die in this undeclared war that is hidden from the rest of the country. The one person that she tried to keep ignorant and safe, her son, puts himself at risk to save his father. The characters in this continuing series should all have bleeding ulcers from the tension of their daily lives as they try to survive a conspiracy they neither wanted or were prepared for. We will not reveal any more of the plot because you need to start at the beginning of the series to follow this convoluted story with more twists and layers than an onion. We look for to the next installment. The plot line is consistent and like Dan Brown's conspiracy stories faced paced. Norman falls. Ned rises. Wallis learns. We enjoy! When I finished the third book in The Wallis Jones Series (The Keeper Returns) it was obvious to me that there were plans afoot to do something bad to one of my favorite characters, Norman. I was somewhat fearful of what this fourth book (The Circle Rises) would reveal about Norman's fate. Sure enough, my fears were valid. The plans against Norman come to fruition in this book. One of the things that I admire about the writing in this series is how intimately we get to know the characters. For instance, we have always known that Norman's son, Ned, is a very smart kid. He was able from a young age to fix just about any mechanical or electronic device. In this book we find out what a genius Ned really is. His plan to save his dad is as complicated as it is brilliant. Can such a plan by a young boy work against a very powerful organization? One of the Management kingpins, George Clemente, has a plan to make a new organization from the ashes of the civil war that has devastated Management. On the surface, his plan seems good.

We were wrong. A terrorist's last words lead a team of special agents to the discovery of an unimaginable global conspiracy. But time is running out. The numbers are converging. Can a group of fugitive FBI and CIA operatives prevent the coming catastrophe before the world crosses The Nash Criterion? Members Reviews: A Good Ole Fashion Action Thriller The Nash Criterion is the second novel in a two part series and the fourth book within the Intel 1 series. The action in The Nash Criterion takes off shortly after the ending of the previous novel The Anonymous Signal which means that it would be best to read it before reading The Nash Criterion. I read The Anonymous Signal a year ago and I wished that I had read them back to back because it took a few chapters before everything about The Anonymous Signal came back to me. Intel 1 is a fictional covert organization made up of primarily intellects and exist under the umbrella of the FBI, somewhat similar to James Rollinsâ Sigma Force. Intel 1 is led by John Savas, a former NYPD cop turned FBI after the events of 911. In the Anonymous Signal, Savas and the group at Intel 1 were tracking down a hacker that was causing highly destructive damage to the worldâs infrastructure controlled by computers. Intel 1 finally did find their anonymous hacker only to find out that there was something considerably bigger and more ominous than this highly ingenious hacker. The information that they recovered made each one of the Intel 1 members wanted criminals and getting this information to the right people was essential but problematic, as it was difficult to tell who they can trust. A cryptic clue left by mathematician John Nash, was their only hope in saving humanity from total destruction which leads us to The Nash Criterion. Stebbins has been reducing the size of Intel 1 over the course of the series by killing off some of the characters. Intel 1 has dwindled down to now include John Savas, his wife Rebecca Cohen, computer expert Angel Lightfoote, former CIA operative Sara Houston, and former priest turned killing machine Gabriel Lopez. Paring down the characters is not a bad thing as it gives Stebbins the ability to focus on just a few characters to give them more depth which is difficult to do in a high action thriller which undoubtedly defines this series. I would have to say that two characters in this series, hacker extraordinaire Angel Lightfoote and pistol wielding padre Gabriel Lopez are the highlight of The Nash Criterion. Lopez, which is my favorite character, was first introduced in the second novel of the series, Extraordinary Retribution. Lopez started out the series as a Catholic priest who taught mathematics to school children until he found out that his brother was murdered. Lopez needed to know who killed his brother only to find out that his brother was a CIA agent and was involved in a government cover up. Trying to right a wrong, Lopez is defrocked from the priesthood and becomes a wanted fugitive. Though he is stripped of the cloth, Lopez is still a priest at heart which creates a moral dilemma for him when he is required to take on the bad guys. This often creates humorous situations throughout The Nash Criterion as Lopez contemplates whether he should be carrying a cross instead of an AK-47.

And when Carne's investigation brings Anne-Marie to his attention, she must decide where her allegiances lie.... Members Reviews: Excellently performed book Would you consider the audio edition of Woman of State to be better than the print version? Haven't read the print version. Would you recommend Woman of State to your friends? Why or why not? Yes. Interesting perspective on the Troubles, good narrative. What does Emma Gregory bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you had only read the book? Her performance was first class. I thought that she captured the voices of the main protagonists perfectly. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Quite possibly if one had time. Any additional comments? The book is carried by the performance, and by its structure. The narrative is compelling. The reason that I've only given three stars is because of the final section, which I fund rushed (in comparison to the rest of the book) and unsatisfactory. It felt as if the author had put a lot of time and effort and research into 85% of the novel, and had then got fed up with it. The reader deserves a more thoughtful end!

Sullivan III Narrator: Adrianne Cury, Jeff Cummings, Steve Downes, full cast Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 2 mins Language: English Release date: 03-29-17 Publisher: Sullivan Serials Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 1 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Political Publisher's Summary: In 2012, no one saw Victor Daco coming. In 2024, he lobbied Congress to turn America's 13 most powerful conglomerates into sovereign regional states, transforming the control that corporations had held for decades over the US government into a formal nobility. Once the bill was signed into law, it became known as the New Rule. As the wealthiest man in the country, Victor became the most powerful patriarch. Resistance to the New Rule grew steadily, so by 2032, Victor had created an army to confront it. He dubbed his anti-terrorist force The Fathers. To legally operate drones and transport troops within the United States, Victor began negotiating the terms of an aviation bill with the patriarchs of Second, Third, and Fourth House. Will the other three patriarchs grant Victor the authority to execute American citizens with impunity and assume ultimate power? What about the other seven patriarchs? Can Victor handle resistance from another noble house while he attempts to make his crackdown on average citizens legal? Emperor is the fourth episode of The American Fathers serial. Read by Adrianne Cury, Amro Salama, Antonio Castillo, Jeff Cummings, Karin Anglin, Kevin Theis, Scott Duff, Steve Downes, and Tony Dobrowolski. Members Reviews: A good tale that ties the previous books together Note: While this is Book 4 in the series, it works well as a stand alone, though it is definitely enhanced by enjoying the first 3 episodes previously. However, if you do pick this up as a stand alone, you might want to check out the glossary first to pick up some of the lingo, characters, and overall atmosphere of the series. For the audiobook, this glossary starts at the 2 hours 41 minutes mark and lasts just over 20 minutes. Set in 2032, Victor Daco is at the height of his career, being Americas king in all but name and official letterhead. Hes been the power behind this New Rule movement for decades, setting up this rulership step by step. Now he just has to crush the POP Watchers, a hacktivist resistance group, and have the US President sign the final piece of legislation that will allow him total authority. This is the book I had been waiting for in this series, the tale that ties all four stories together. The history of how the ruling Houses came into being is clearly laid out, past characters (such as Victors daughter Irene) are mentioned or brought into play, and the entire story arc moves forward a bit as Victors enemies circle him like waiting sharks. My one quibble is that the female characters arent particularly important to the plot as they were in the first 2 books. Natalia, Irenes mom, has the most lines. She is clever and elegant but nearly all of her role is to comfort Victor even as she builds up or reigns in his ego. I think she has more to give and Im doubtful we will get to see that in future installments. The science fiction bits were great. I love Victors chosen mode of transport, all the corporate spying that goes on, and cyber enhancements the rich can obtain. While I did like Victors fancy suit of armor, I felt the story was a little rushed in taking us from Victor the Ruthless Businessman to Victor the Iron Man.

Title: False Flag Subtitle: The Boston Brahmin, Book 4 Author: Bobby Akart Narrator: Joseph Morton Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 25 mins Language: English Release date: 05-13-16 Publisher: Bobby Akart Inc., a Tennessee Corporation Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 212 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Political Publisher's Summary: Freedom, liberty, and independence are lost. This action-packed fourth installment in The Boston Brahmin series depicts how the government uses crises to take away the freedoms of its citizens. False Flag explores the following questions: What happens when our soldiers are ordered to fire upon American citizens? Do they follow the directives of the Martial Law Declaration? How can The Loyal Nine and like-minded Americans fight back to restore the Republic? False flag ('fols 'flag): An operation designed to deceive in such a way that events appear as though they are being carried out by perpetrators other than those who actually planned and executed them. A false flag is used as an ideological weapon to control the citizenry with the fear of a manufactured enemy. The Boston Brahmin Series continues as America is thrust into a post-apocalyptic world. Within days of a devastating cyber-attack upon America's critical infrastructure, the economy is in shambles and society is sinking into the abyss. Facts begin to surface. Speculation begins to run rampant. Questions are raised. The central issue is "Who is responsible for the greatest attack upon a nation in history?" Will the resulting collapse of America distract The Loyal Nine from seeking answers? Will a new threat emerge to the nation, one which rears its ugly head from an unexpected location? Members Reviews: The installment was great, But why end so soon! How could it so soon...what wait till Fall '16! No this is cruel and unjust! The book was great and the series is better! Picking up speed, the saga continues The Loyal Nine fight to defend their friends, family, and their way if life as the newly appointed authorities begin to trample the constitution. The tale of the grasshopper and the ant begins to unfold as the unprepared begin to covet what the prepared Loyal Nine have stored. One of the Nine receives a change in station. Another great listen! Would have waited longer... for more Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How? Truthfully this part of the story took much longer to develop and was obvious from.. well two books ago. What about Joseph Mortons performance did you like? Does a fine job. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? The share it all governor makes me want to puke. Any additional comments? Really wish there would have just been more. The excellence continues As usual Bobby delivers another well rounded addition to the series. The character development continues as new antagonist are introduced. The story has all the twist and turns you have come to expect. Excellent! Another great installment in the series. As with the previous 3 this kept me engaged in both the multiple subplots as well as the primary journey of the core group. Well done Mr. Akart!

Some women get everything. Some women get everything they deserve. Amber Patterson is fed up. She's tired of being a nobody: a plain, invisible woman who blends into the background. She deserves more - a life of money and power like the one blond-haired, blue-eyed goddess Daphne Parrish takes for granted. To everyone in the exclusive town of Bishops Harbor, Connecticut, Daphne - a socialite and philanthropist - and her real-estate mogul husband, Jackson, are a couple straight out of a fairy tale. Amber's envy could eat her alive...if she didn't have a plan. Amber uses Daphne's compassion and caring to insinuate herself into the family's life - the first step in a meticulous scheme to undermine her. Before long Amber is Daphne's closest confidante, traveling to Europe with the Parrishes and their lovely young daughters and growing closer to Jackson. But a skeleton from her past may undermine everything that Amber has worked toward, and if it is discovered, her well-laid plan may fall to pieces. With shocking turns and dark secrets that will keep you guessing until the very end, The Last Mrs. Parrish is a fresh, juicy, and utterly addictive thriller from a diabolically imaginative talent. Members Reviews: The house of lies! First I loved this story and narration. We follow Amber, who is tired of her boring life. She wants a glam life, and is far from it. She befriends the most popular women in Bishops Harbor, Daphne Parrish. Daphne is everything Amber is not. A mother, rich, sophisticated, wealthy, popular and loved by all. After these two meet, the naive Daphne becomes close with Amber. Shortly after becoming best pals, Amber is considered a part of the family. Amber then starts getting close with Daphne's husband, Jackson, and their children. From the moment the two women meet, their life begins to spiral out of control. Soon the whole Parrish family is twisted in lies, and manipulation. At first I was beyond annoyed at how naive Daphne was, but she is smarter than what you may think. I honestly did NOT see the twist coming in this book. It was a great story, that kept me hooked. I listened in the car, at work, doing house chores etc. I love when a book grabs me, and this one did. I ended up finishing this book in a day and a half , and was sad when it was over. A Fairy Tale Life Probably the best book Ive listened to this year! So well written. We certainly dont know what goes on behind the doors of the pampered and rich. I dont think Ill ever assume again that someone elses life must be all roses just because they are rich and good looking. Definitely worth your time to listen to this. OMG I love this book! I mostly read nonfiction, but was feeling like I needed an escape. My husband and I loved this book. We recently took a trip to California for Thanksgiving and listen to this on our road trip. This is the only thing that kept us awake on the last leg of our trip. It is very suspenseful and will definitely keep you hanging on every word. highly recommend very enjoyable!!! I couldnt stop listening!!!! Loved the characters and the story kept me interested until the end. Interesting characters that kept me guessing.

Agatha is pregnant and works part time stocking shelves at a grocery store in a ritzy London suburb, counting down the days until her baby is due. As the hours of her shifts creep by in increasing discomfort, the one thing she looks forward to at work is catching a glimpse of Meghan, the effortlessly chic customer whose elegant lifestyle dazzles her. Meghan has it all: two perfect children, a handsome husband, a happy marriage, and a stylish group of friends, and she writes perfectly droll confessional posts on her popular parenting blog - posts that Agatha reads with devotion each night as she waits for her absent boyfriend, the father of her baby, to maybe return her calls. When Agatha learns that Meghan is pregnant again and that their due dates fall within the same month, she finally musters up the courage to speak to her, thrilled that they now have the ordeal of childbearing in common. Little does Meghan know that the mundane exchange she has with a grocery store employee during a hurried afternoon shopping trip is about to change the course of her not-so-perfect life forever.... With its brilliant rendering of a shocking kidnapping plot and the secrets some women hold close, The Secrets She Keeps delivers a dark and twisted thriller. Members Reviews: High praise!! This is the kind of book that stays with you long after you finish. You could feel the depth and quality of the story. The editing was brilliant! Not a wasted, word here. A kidnapped child is not exactly fresh ground in a psychological thriller, but the author's clever depiction of the back story made this exciting and fresh. The performance was genius! Without giving too much away, the narrator was able to create a very chilling persona for an unnamed character within a character. Next to Imogen Church, Lucy Price - Lewis is my favorite narrator and the only one I've heard who can hold a candle to Church. She'd made a crappy story tolerable with her talent. This book is a thriller, but it's so much more than that. Many books in this genre don't allow you to appreciate why someone made the horrible decisions they made. Robotham created such a tragic story for his protagonist that I found myself justifying every despicable thing the character did. I actually rooted for the character, even though it conflicted with the sound judgement I would've credited myself with before hearing this story. I wish every book were this good, or, at least, half this good, but I realize I enjoyed it more because they just aren't. I highly encourage you to buy this book, because it just might make you appreciate what you're currently taking for granted. It's on a whole new level. Favorite Book of 2017 I have read over a hundred books this year and this has been my absolute favorite. beautifully written and engaging I felt like I was right there with the characters the whole way through. perfect narration as always from this narrator.

But when a car accident reveals her husband's secret life as a serial killer, she must remake herself as Gwen Proctor - the ultimate warrior mom. With her ex now in prison, Gwen has finally found refuge in a new home on remote Stillhouse Lake. Though still the target of stalkers and Internet trolls who think she had something to do with her husband's crimes, Gwen dares to think her kids can finally grow up in peace. But just when she's starting to feel at ease in her new identity, a body turns up in the lake - and threatening letters start arriving from an all-too-familiar address. Gwen Proctor must keep friends close and enemies at bay to avoid being exposed - or watch her kids fall victim to a killer who takes pleasure in tormenting her. One thing is certain: she's learned how to fight evil. And she'll never stop. Members Reviews: Too much Too much goriness Too much repetition Leaves you hanging at the end ( sounds like the start of a series) And did I say too much repetition of the same gory scene description. Boring. dumb. Sooooo drawn out save your money This book was insanely boring. Not only was the narrator completely monotone for 13 hours the story kept repeating itself. Every chapter was the same paranoid character talking about saving her kids and hiding. There was zero drama, very little plot and incredibly repetitive dialogue. I kept waiting for it to get better and it came up beyond short. Definitely NOT recommending. How does this book have so many stars? After reading many of the positive reviews I decided to purchase and listen to Stillhouse Lake. I was so excited with the Summary being right up my alley. Wish I could take that back, I am so disappointed! I feel like the narrator didn't have much to work with, the story was ridiculous, I almost stopped listening half way through but decided to push on hoping it would get better. It dragged on and on until, FINALLY, something happened and then left us at a cliff hanger..... The author did not use the intro to really introduce anything and the middle was so boring only the end did anything really happen and then she left us on a cliff hanger? CMON this boring book does not need to be stretched into two! One instance I can remember rolling my eyes is when the main character all worked up asked the man she was sorta dating if he had a gun and to watch her kids. She had initially met this character at a shooting range and knew he was ex military.... like hello yes he has a gun am I the only one keeping up? It felt so forced to me, the whole book. Felt like the author forced an awkward love interest into the book; and that she did little to no research on guns the way she kept repeating the same safety rule like a broken record. Seriously she explained that a gun had to be facing away with the chamber up probably 4 times throughout the book. Save your credit this is not a psychological suspense thriller. imagine Capt. Kirk as a cheerleader Struggled to finish. The narrator sounded like a female Captain Kirk.

Behind Her Eyes Audiobook by Sarah Pinborough

Louise is a single mom, a secretary, stuck in a modern-day rut. On a rare night out, she meets a man in a bar, and sparks fly. Though he leaves after they kiss, she's thrilled she finally connected with someone. When Louise arrives at work on Monday, she meets her new boss, David. The man from the bar. The very married man from the bar...who says the kiss was a terrible mistake but who still can't keep his eyes off Louise. And then Louise bumps into Adele, who's new to town and in need of a friend. But she also just happens to be married to David. And if you think you know where this story is going, think again, because Behind Her Eyes is like no other book you've heard before. David and Adele look like the picture-perfect husband and wife. But then why is David so controlling? And why is Adele so scared of him? As Louise is drawn into David and Adele's orbit, she uncovers more puzzling questions than answers. The only thing that is crystal clear is that something in this marriage is very, very wrong. But Louise can't guess how wrong - and how far a person might go to protect their marriage's secrets. Sarah Pinborough's Behind Her Eyes takes the modern-day love triangle and not only turns it on its head but completely reinvents it in a way that will leave listeners reeling. Editorial Reviews: Editors Select, January 2017 - It's no secret that there has been a huge influx of suspenseful, psychological thrillers featuring unreliable narrators and multiple POVs. And though I enjoy this genre immensely, I generally know how a story will end fairly quickly. Behind Her Eyes, Sarah Pinborough's debut adult thriller, is the only book of this nature that left me guessing until the very last word. Justifiably, Behind Her Eyes is popping up on social media adorned with the hashtag #wtfthatending - and it's still a month out from publication. I was completely glued to this book as I tried to untangle the crazy web of lies and deceit between husband and wife David and Adele and David's secretary, Louise. The narrators are perfect for their respective characters and left me with a constant yet strangely enjoyable feeling of mistrust and doubt. Laura, Audible Editor Critic Reviews: "All four narrators smoothly transition between the complex characters and the dark side of this contemporary love triangle. As Louise's sense of disorientation and dread build, listeners will be hooked on both plot and performance." ( AudioFile) Members Reviews: HATED the ending I don't want to ruin this book for anyone, but I found the ending to be truly awful. This book was incredibly suspenseful and original in its story line, but I hated they way I felt when it was over. I'm unsettled and not in a good way. I didn't find the end to be clever, but written specifically for shock value. I hated it. I wish I had never spent my time listening to this book. I'm saddened by it. A fantastic, engaging story, hands-down If you could sum up Behind Her Eyes in three words, what would they be? Expressive, dramatic, captivating! Who was your favorite character and why? I don't mind being a fan of a villain who shows such diabolically planned-out chaos, and Adele is one of these.

The community along Oregon's Deschutes River is one of successful careers and perfect families. For years, up-and-comers Liz and Owen have admired their good friends and neighbors, Carole and David. They appear to have it allsecurity, happiness, and a beautiful young son, Charlie. Then Charlie vanishes without a trace, and all that seemed safe is shattered by a tragedy that is incomprehensibleexcept to Liz. It took one fleeting moment for her to change the lives of everyone she lovesa heartrending accident that can't be undone. Neither can the second-worst mistake of her life: concealing it. As two marriages crack and buckle in grief and fear, Liz retreats into her own dark place of guilt, escalating paranoiaand betrayals even she can't imagine. Because there's another good neighbor who has his own secrets, his own pain, and his own reasons for watching Liz's every move. And only he knows that the mystery of the missing boy on the Deschutes River is far from over. Members Reviews: Most intense novel I've read in a long time! Oh, what a tangled web we weave...when first we practice to deceive. Walter Scott, Marmion (1808) Liz backed out of her garage and hit the three year old son of her neighbor who was unexpectedly in her driveway. She believed she had killed him, but rather than call 911 she did the wrong thing by deciding to cover up the accident. Gregg Olsen has written a great story. It is well worth an Audible credit. Karen Peakes, who narrates other Olsen audio novels, does a wonderful job with this one. I'm late, I'm late for a very important test... This is an excellent book. I've always enjoyed Gregg Olsen and this book does not disappoint. Imagine running late for a very important test, you back your 4x4 out of your garage and feel a bump that shouldn't be there. You get out of your vehicle only to find your neighbor's (who is also your best friend) child laying there. You think you killed him but you're also running late to take the bar exam. In a split second you wrap the boy in a tarp and go to take the test. When you get there you're so distraught you can't take it anyway. You tell your husband and rather then call the police like you want him to he says you have to get rid of the body. This book is what spirals from a decision made after an all nighter studying on amphetamines. I almost gave the story 4 stars instead of five only because I have a hard time wrapping my head around hitting a child and hiding him so you can go take a test. The crazy thing is, with all the wacky stories in the news these days - nothing would surprise me anymore Karen Peakes does an excellent job narrating. If you have kindle unlimited this book will cost you $1.99! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. If you found this review helpful please indicate so. Thank You. Good book. Weak ending. I rated it 3 stars because of ending. Unnecessarily abrupt, when it could have played out so much better. I just couldn't get into it.... The performance was about the only really good part of the book.

Title: Magpie Murders Subtitle: A Novel Author: Anthony Horowitz Narrator: Allan Corduner, Samantha Bond Format: Unabridged Length: 15 hrs and 47 mins Language: English Release date: 06-06-17 Publisher: Harper Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 3960 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Psychological Publisher's Summary: From the New York Times best-selling author of Moriarty and Trigger Mortis, this fiendishly brilliant, riveting thriller weaves a classic whodunit worthy of Agatha Christie into a chilling, ingeniously original modern-day mystery. When editor Susan Ryeland is given the manuscript of Alan Conway's latest novel, she has no reason to think it will be much different from any of his others. After working with the best-selling crime writer for years, she's intimately familiar with his detective, Atticus Pünd, who solves mysteries disturbing sleepy English villages. An homage to queens of classic British crime such as Agatha Christie and Dorothy Sayers, Alan's traditional formula has proved hugely successful. So successful that Susan must continue to put up with his troubling behavior if she wants to keep her job. Conway's latest tale has Atticus Pünd investigating a murder at Pye Hall, a local manor house. Yes, there are dead bodies and a host of intriguing suspects, but the more Susan reads, the more she's convinced that there is another story hidden in the manuscript: one of real-life jealousy, greed, ruthless ambition, and murder. Masterful, clever, and relentlessly suspenseful, Magpie Murders is a deviously dark take on vintage English crime fiction in which the listener becomes the detective. Critic Reviews: "Listen straight through - or savor slowly? That will be your struggle because Horowitz's delicious mystery-within-a-mystery is, as they say, 'fiendishly clever' and terrifically narrated." ( AudioFile) Members Reviews: A British Whodunit I enjoy Horowitz and his screen writing for TV with a particular favorite being the program Foyle's War. Much of this novel reads like a screen play with a great deal of external detail about the setting and the movements of this absolutely huge cast of characters. However my biggest concern was that there wasn't enough internal detail, or character development to help me feel connected to the story being told. After all, we don't have the likes of Michael Kitchen or Honeysuckle Weeks to encapsulate pages of writing into one very succinct glance, look or reaction filled with meaning. Actors can really add to the back story in a screen play and help flesh out the characters and add depth to the story being told. Without them the writer needs to work to find a way to engage the reader with solid sparkling characters we can actually care about. I thought the narration was good and added positively to the listening experience. The two readers worked well. Be aware that this book is really best for diehard fans of the Christie or Sayers style of British mysteries. I did keep listening and stuck with it to the bitter end but I thought it felt a bit empty and dragged in parts. Proceed with caution. Not bad -- took the long way 'round This is a book within a book, a fictional detective story in a small British village bookended by a mystery involving the author and editor of that detective story. Both have very unlikable characters (the detective, and the author), and both take a long and winding path to get to solutions that aren't very interesting or surprising. Not bad, exactly, but far from good.

Her dream home will become her worst nightmare.... A strange encounter. Neve comes across a troubled woman called Isabelle on Waterloo Bridge late one night. Isabelle forces a parcel into Neve's hands and jumps to her death in the icy Thames below. An unexpected gift. Two weeks later, as Neve's wreck of a life in London collapses, an unexpected lifeline falls into her lap - a charming cottage in Cornwall left to her by Isabelle, the woman on the bridge. The solution to all her problems. A twisted secret. But when Neve arrives, alone in the dark woods late one night, she finds a sinister-looking bungalow with bars across its windows. And her dream home quickly becomes her worst nightmare - a house hiding a twisted secret that will change her life forever.... Critic Reviews: "Dark, gripping and totally compelling. A genuine page-turner." (Alex Lake, best-selling author of After Anna) "I loved it; a dark, disturbing thriller that kept me guessing to the end." (Sam Hepburn, author of Her Perfect Life) "I was totally sucked into this book and barely put it down till I was finished - Neve is a brilliantly drawn character who you really care about, despite her chaotic life and disastrous decisions. A great read." (Louise Voss) Members Reviews: Listen with a Light On! Cottages in woods are, to me, inherently creepy, and being a fan of suspense and mysteries I was eager to get into In a Cottage in a Wood. Right away, I knew I was going to like this book. From the opening scene in a grungy strange motel room, to a pivotal icy midnight encounter between main character Neve and a mysterious stranger on the deserted Waterloo Bridge, the freezing Thames roaring below- I was hooked. The plot follows Neve's life after she inherits this stranger's isolated, rundown cabin in the remote forests of Cornwall. The reader is taken on an enigmatic, slow-burn journey that is not a thrill ride, but more of a game of Pick-up sticks, where each stick is a secret Neve must unbury before she can come to terms with why she was chosen to be bequeathed with this Cottage. Neve wants to, needs to leave- the doors don't stay locked, the lights don't stay on, the winter chill reaches fingers inside like death- but despite the increasing feeling that someone or something badly wants her gone, Neve must solve this long buried mystery, with little help along the way, from people she isn't sure she can trust anymore. Well-written, taut with chilly descriptions of the winter woods and stark imagery that feeds the reader's sense of atmosphere, this story grips from page one and doesn't let up. It's steady pace is perfect for the story, and the creep factor is top-tier but also believable, so this reader says, you have been duly warned! The narration is excellent and leant much believability to the the thoughts, feelings and actions of the characters. Well-done overall and highly recommended- a good read. Be careful of reviews..watch out for spoilers! I never evenyy read the blurb for this book so I had no clue as to any direction it may be heading and Ive been doing that quite often especially with mystery books. I never was a mystery reader but have been tearing through them on jags.

Title: Her Last Secret Subtitle: A Gripping Psychological Thriller Author: Barbara Copperthwaite Narrator: Katie Villa Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 8 mins Language: English Release date: 10-13-17 Publisher: Bookouture Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 384 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Psychological Publisher's Summary: There are some secrets you can never tell. The last thing to go through Dominique Thomas's head was the image of her teenage daughter's face and her heart lifted. Then the shot rang out. They were the perfect family. Successful businessman Ben Thomas and his wife Dominique live an enviable life, along with their beautiful children: teenager Ruby and quirky younger daughter Mouse. But on Christmas Day the police are called to their London home, only to discover a horrific scene: the entire family lying lifeless, victims of an unknown assailant. But when Ruby's diary is discovered, revealing her rage at the world around her, police are forced to look closer to home for the key to this tragedy. Each family member harboured their own dark truths - but has keeping their secrets pushed Ruby to the edge of sanity? Or are there darker forces at work? This dark, gripping psychological thriller will have you holding your breath until the very last minute. Fans of Behind Closed Doors, Sometimes I Lie, and The Girl on the Train will be captivated. Critic Reviews: "Compelling, claustrophobic and horribly believable - a great read!" (B. A. Paris, author of Behind Closed Doors) Members Reviews: I Had To Think On This One.. 'Her Last Secret' is a gripping listen in parts. Some parts are rather slow. However, I couldn't figure out why it was deemed 'a psychological thriller' until the very end. We have a husband having an affair, a wife who's afraid to leave the husband, a misguided teen getting cyber-bullied.. a 'normal' abnormal family with severe problems behind closed doors. As the problems accumulate and tension mounts, the book feels more like a murder-mystery. It's very depressing, and it deals with depressing subject matter. The end made me go 'Wow..' And, when something makes me do that, it's worth the read. The narrator was fantastic. The book is definitely interesting.. and I would give the story a solid 4 stars. -Wendi Could have been a great book. I went into this book hoping that it would be a good read based on the premise but i was wrong. The story had entirely to much build up and secrecy that wasnt really a secret. From the first couple of chapters you can tell exactly what was happening . Amazing! I thought I had this one all figured out.... man was I wrong!!!! Loved this book!!! My mind wandered Would you try another book from Barbara Copperthwaite and/or Katie Villa? Maybe Any additional comments? It was hard for me to focus on this story...it seemed to ramble. After 8 chapters and I still can't get into the story...it's time to turn it off. Had to go all the way to the end! This story was a tease throughout. I loved it. Enough suspects were introduced to make it impossible for me to guess the ending:) I like that in a who done what story!

Thirteen years apart. Olivia Shaw has been missing since last Tuesday. She was last seen outside the entrance of her elementary school in Hunts Point wearing a white spring jacket, blue jeans, and pink boots. I force myself to look at the face in the photo, into her slightly smudged features, and I can't bring myself to move. Olivia Shaw could be my mirror image, rewound to 13 years ago. If you have any knowledge of Olivia Shaw's whereabouts or any relevant information, please contact... I've spent a long time peering into the faces of girls on missing posters, wondering which one replaced me in that basement. But they were never quite the right age, with the right look, in the right circumstances. Until Olivia Shaw, missing for one week tomorrow. Whoever stole me was never found. But since I was taken, there hasn't been another girl. And now there is. Critic Reviews: " Girl Last Seen hooked me so quickly I might have whiplash. This is a sharp, twisting, intense thriller, the heartbreaking and fast-paced story of a woman who bears the scars of a trip to hell and back but who refuses to be defeated. Don't miss this smashing debut!" (David Bell, best-selling author of Bring Her Home) "Laurin creates a compelling, vulnerable central character." ( Publisher's Weekly) "Debut novelist Nina Laurin has created a memorable character in complicated, flawed and endearing Laine Moreno. From the very first page, Girl Last Seen jettisons the reader into the life of a crime victim trying to outrun her past. Fast-paced and hard-edged, it is a heart-stopping thriller that had me guessing to the very end." (Heather Gudenkauf, New York Times best-selling author of The Weight of Silence and Not a Sound) Members Reviews: Holy..... Starts off a bit slow, but once it picks up, you cannot put it down! Just when you think you know what's going on, the plot twists! Great read. Omg! Loved it! If you could sum up Girl Last Seen in three words, what would they be? Suspenseful, Engrossing, Gritty Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How? Once I thought I knew what was happening the story twists and turns and left me stunned. I love that in a good story. What about Vanessa Johanssons performance did you like? She did not make the characters sound saccharine sweet. If there was an f-bomb, and there were many, she didn't shy away from it. So many times a narrator can ruin the story, Vanessa made it real. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? I love thrillers because they scare and startle me. This book did this to me and I loved every second of it! Any additional comments? I have to say this was a great book. It should be turned into a movie. Uncomfortably Powerful Great read... It'll garner some deserved chatter and accolades... You're hooked from the very first page, and proceed to be reeled in;). The narrative perspective really makes this novel... Through Lane/Ella's eyes and voice you experience a tangled and turbulent life exacerbated by her nightmares coming back to roost... Fantastic pace w/ some deft and unexpected turnabouts... The underlying mystery/mysteries are plotted well, and you'll be given all the clues... Up to you to figure it out, and even if figured out earlier you'll still feel the tension and suspense as the climax comes...

The Lying Game Audiobook by Ruth Ware

Title: The Lying Game Subtitle: A Novel Author: Ruth Ware Narrator: Imogen Church Format: Unabridged Length: 13 hrs and 39 mins Language: English Release date: 07-25-17 Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 1712 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Psychological Publisher's Summary: From the New York Times best-selling author of the "pulse-quickening" (Good Housekeeping UK) In a Dark, Dark Wood and The Woman in Cabin 10 comes Ruth Ware's highly anticipated third novel, featuring her signature "verve and energy" (Library Journal). On a cool June morning, Isa Wilde, a resident of the seemingly idyllic coastal village of Salten, is walking her dog along a tidal estuary. Before she can stop him, Isa's dog charges into the water to retrieve what first appears to be a wayward stick - and to her horror, Isa discovers it's not a stick at all...but a human bone. As her three best friends from childhood converge in Salten to comfort a seriously shaken-up Isa, terrifying discoveries are made, and their collective history slowly unravels. Tackling the slipperiness of memories, the relativity of truth, and the danger of obsessive friendships, The Lying Game is a gripping mystery with compelling characters and electric prose, resulting in a can't-stop-listening thriller. Members Reviews: No spoilers - Long winded and repetitive I love Ruth Ware's stories. She has great character development that allow you to "get to know" each character. Imogen Church is amazing, as always, and gives each character a clear and recognizable voice. However. This story was very long-winded and there were a couple of times there were phrases/ideas repeated. There is a lot of focus on unsubstantial points (the baby's crying) - and you are brought over and over again to these topics. The lead in the story also does some pretty impossible things with her baby (in my opinion) - especially as Ruth has made it very clear that the baby gets upset easily and often. Just didn't work for me like her other stories have. Publisher' Summary needs to be corrected... The character's name mentioned in the summary is wrong. The person described is really named Kate. Isa is the storyteller. Maybe not a big deal but it bothered me. The story just seemed to drag on and on... I really wanted to like this book but... Any additional comments? I love Ruth Ware but I am so disappointed!I had a hard time understanding the choices made by the characters in this book and it drove me crazy. I like when individuals are put in impossible situations, forcing them to make decisions that (as a reader) you may not agree with but you understand. I found myself continually rolling my eyes and wondering WHO DOES THAT?! It made the book seem ridiculous. Very frustrating! REALLY LET DOWN, I'm not gonna lie! (No spoilers) First, Imogen Church ALWAYS gives an outstanding performance, so it is no surprise that she gives one to this book. I LOVE Ruth Ware's writing and character building and humor but somehow things didn't come together on this one. It should be called "The "I'm Going To Make It Up As I Go" Game". Just the summary of the book is misleading, you'll figure that out in the first couple chapters and then somehow low and behold it wasn't? Huh? Exactly! There is a good (not great) story in here somewhere but the marketing of the book ruined it.

You expect him any second. The phone rings - it's the call you hoped you'd never get. You jump in your car and race to a neighborhood you thought you'd never visit. You peer into the dark, deserted building. You brace yourself for the worst. And then, you remember nothing else. They tell your husband you've been in an accident. You lost control of your car as you sped through the worst side of town. The police suspect you were up to no good. But your husband refuses to believe it. Your best friend is not so sure. And even you don't know what to believe.... Members Reviews: Wow! Just WOW!! The audiobook A Stranger in the House by Shari Lapena. narrated by Tavia Gilbert is EXCELLENT! I was so excited when I found out Shari Lapena had a new book coming out because I loved The Couple Next Door. I pre-ordered A Stranger in the House...and waited...and waited! Finally, the day came when it was delivered to my Audible app...WooHoo! As I listened, I kept feeling like I had it all figured out. I wasn't sure if there was really an underlying mystery at all. I was still fully engaged in the well-written storyline, though, because new discoveries, twists, and turns continued to pop up at every corner. Needless to say, I WAS WRONG about everything, and the underlying mystery of it all came at me full force! The ending was awesome!!! Because of the ending, this book went from good to absolutely AMAZING! I'm still sitting in disbelief! I loved the characters, too. I'm dying to hear more about what happens next in their lives! Please, say we get a sequel to this book! :-) The narration by Tavia Gilbert was perfect. I thought her performance was outstanding, all around! She was easy to listen to and made for a very enjoyable listening experience. I felt everything was right on....tone, inflection, volume, and pace. The way she would change from speaking to almost whisper-like, really kept me on the edge of my seat. I defintiely plan to check out more books she has narrated. Great work! I'm sure it is no surprise that I give A Stranger in the House 5/5 stars. I am glad I loved The Couple Next Door so much because it had me eagerly wanting more from Shari Lapena! I thought my favorite of the two books was going to be The Couple Next Door, but after hearing the ending of A Stranger in the House, I really have no clue which one I enjoyed more. Both books are now listed in my Top 10 Favorites! I plan to buy every book from here on out by Shari Lapena, 100%! I recommend this book to those enjoy the Suspense/Thriller/Mystery genre. It's definitely one you don't want to miss out on! Thank you so much for reading my review. I hope it was helpful. :-) Great Sophomore Book from Shari Lapena I loved the premise of this book. A law abiding housewife has an out of character traffic accident. At the same time her husband comes home and finds her missing but her purse and cellphone are still there it looks like she left in a hurry or in a panic.

Dove Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 38 mins Language: English Release date: 01-01-18 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 23 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Psychological Publisher's Summary: When family man and war veteran Russell loses his job as a quarry worker, his life suddenly seems more like a waking nightmare than a chance to finally live the American dream. Facing bills, a new baby, and a bone-dry bank account, he's got nothing left to lose. Russell comes to the rescue of a naked stranger dancing in the rain, and what was supposed to be a straightforward good deed turns into a spiral of danger. When Russell finds an enticing stash of money in the woman's house, he knows the cash could be his only hope. Taking just a handful will save his family's future. His "victimless crime" seems to be anything but risky - until the criminals he robbed come looking for their dirty money. Russell's ready to surrender it, but then his daughter gets sick...and he must choose between saving her or giving the devils their due. Someone's going to pay. The question is, how much? Members Reviews: Pretty Good Book!! Very enjoyable book. This book is told from the protagonist's (Russell) point of view. In a long email written to a friend he tells what he's doing and why. When the quarry that Russell works for is sold, every one who works there is laid off. Russell has two daughters and a pregnant wife at home. The day he learns that he's losing his job he runs into a detour on the way home. Going through a seedy part of town in the pouring rain he sees a young woman naked and dancing in her front yard. When she falls down he stops his motorcycle to see if she's ok. He thinks she's high on something and carries her inside. The smells make him think this might be a meth house. In the bathroom he finds shoeboxes containing cash. Although it goes against his beliefs, he decides this is a chance to keep his family afloat while he finds work and takes one box. When he sees the woman days later sporting bruises he decides to return the money, but then one of his daughters gets sick. What follows is his personal moral dilemma and his actions and reactions towards the drug dealers who seemed to have help locating him. Very colorful book with some interesting characters. That narration by Eric G. Dove is excellent. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. If you found this review helpful please indicate so. Thank You. Only the Rain..Really? Wow. If you want to feel the pain, anger, and frustration of taking on someone's battle other than your own. Go to war. The things you learn are so hard fought. Life is tough anyway and then you see things that are not the way you have lived. Soon it becomes your morals against theirs. Your life or theirs. How can you win? I would read a novel by Mr. Silva again and again. Mixed feelings! A friend read the Kindle version of this novel before the Christmas holiday and recommended it. I purchased the Audible version when it was released early this month and noticed after I started to listen to it that Audible listener Shelley had already reviewed it. Many years ago in my early 30s I was the father and husband of a young family including three children who felt the same pressures of responsibilities Russel felt in Only the Rain. This novel was more emotional for me than it should have been because I relate to Russel although I did not get into the troubles he did.

Final Girls Audiobook by Riley Sager

Title: Final Girls Subtitle: A Novel Author: Riley Sager Narrator: Erin Bennett, Hillary Huber Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 24 mins Language: English Release date: 07-11-17 Publisher: Penguin Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 2264 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Psychological Publisher's Summary: Ten years ago college student Quincy Carpenter went on vacation with five friends and came back alone, the only survivor of a horror movie-scale massacre. In an instant she became a member of a club no one wants to belong to - a group of similar survivors known in the press as the Final Girls. Lisa, who lost nine sorority sisters to a college dropout's knife; Sam, who went up against the Sack Man during her shift at the Nightlight Inn; and now Quincy, who ran bleeding through the woods to escape Pine Cottage and the man she refers to only as Him. The three girls are all attempting to put their nightmares behind them and, with that, one another. Despite the media's attempts, they never meet. Now Quincy is doing well - maybe even great, thanks to her Xanax prescription. She has a caring almost-fiancé, Jeff; a popular baking blog; a beautiful apartment; and a therapeutic presence in Coop, the police officer who saved her life all those years ago. Her memory won't even allow her to recall the events of that night; the past is in the past. That is until Lisa, the first Final Girl, is found dead in her bathtub, wrists slit, and Sam, the second, appears on Quincy's doorstep. Blowing through Quincy's life like a whirlwind, Sam seems intent on making Quincy relive the past, with increasingly dire consequences, all of which makes Quincy question why Sam is really seeking her out. And when new details about Lisa's death come to light, Quincy's life becomes a race against time as she tries to unravel Sam's truths from her lies, evade the police and hungry reporters, and, most crucially, remember what really happened at Pine Cottage, before what was started 10 years ago is finished. Critic Reviews: "The first great thriller of 2017 is almost here: Final Girls, by Riley Sager. If you liked Gone Girl, you'll like this." (Stephen King) "Narrators Erin Bennett and Hillary Huber partner beautifully in this gripping psychological thriller... Both narrators add intensity and drama to the mystery and to the personality of each survivor." ( AudioFile) Members Reviews: Shocking twists and turns I'll be honest, I was smug in thinking that I had it all figured out. But I was wrong. Then I thought I had it figured out again, but I was still wrong. I was truly surprised by the ending. Definitely a good thriller that keeps you guessing. Lags a little in the middle, but makes it up in last half of the book. Narration was spot on. I would read something else she wrote! Not what I expected...in a good way I get hung up sometimes on the review details. Lately I decided to go back to the reviews of the books I really enjoyed and noticed a pattern...there's always a handful of disgruntled folk. Thankful to have that fact in my pocket and ultimately selecting this book. Interesting story, great characters, fantastic narration, and suspense from start to finish. Bollocks to any naysayers...this is a great book and well worth the credit! I'm really surprised by all the 4 & 5 star reviews Oh man. This book sure dragged. There is a twist ending so I gave a few stars for that, but for the first 3/4 of the book, absolutely nothing happens. Unfortunately, the writing and the way the story unfolded was very unrefined; it definitely reads like a first novel. Repetitive interactions between flat characters.

Between You and Me Audiobook by Lisa Hall

Title: Between You and Me Subtitle: A psychological thriller with a twist you won't see coming Author: Lisa Hall Narrator: Jessica Ball Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 16 mins Language: English Release date: 06-08-17 Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers Limited Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 679 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Psychological Publisher's Summary: They say every marriage has its secrets. But no one sees what happens behind closed doors. And sometimes those doors should never be opened.... Sal and Charlie are married. They love each other. But they aren't happy. Sal cannot leave, no matter what Charlie does - no matter how much it hurts. Critic Reviews: "Hall packs a punch with this one and the ending left me gasping." (For the Love of Books) "A gripping psychological thriller with a level of tension that will leave you breathless." (Tracy Book Lover) "It is disturbing and chilling. It feels very real. And a quick mention for that twist! I did not see that coming at all. I usually spot these things and I didn't! Clever! Very clever!" (Northern Crime Reviews) Members Reviews: wow The description says it all . I did not see that coming. feel like I have to listen again. Never Mind the Twist - read it because it's good. Within the first few minutes of listening to the well-narrated Between You and Me, the author makes these things very clear: 1) I am meant to know that Sal and Charlie's marriage is abusive- one partner suffers domestic violence at the other's hands; and 2) our androgynously-named partners are not "him" and "her" or "him and him" or "her and her"- they are, and shall remain, "Sal" and "Charlie." (Later, there will be an "Alex" inserted into the plot, but Alex will not be helpful, because Alex is also genderless). I almost hit stop and delete. But I didn't. Because Lisa Hall has a way of writing simple, straightforward, punchy sentences that turn into thoughtful paragraphs that demonstrate exactly what is happening, let the reader feel the emotion, insert the pain and anger, or the triumph and the sense of such strong feeling for a character- that the reader moves with the story. You're just there. You are in the kitchen with Sal, you are in the office with Charlie. The story goes and moves and kills you and picks you up and makes you keep your wits about you because you need them, because you will experience some intense emotions from beginning to end. It is not maudlin, it is not overwrought, it is not a soap opera. You may think you know the twist, but you don't know all the twists. The story is told from the points of view of Sal and Charlie back and forth throughout, in a contemporaneous manner that is very interesting to experience. There are some look-backs to show the history of the relationship, but no more than needed to demonstrate the points to the reader. Same as the rest of the book. The less-AS-more approach just really worked for me with this story. In the end, I think Between You and Me was a great read. Certainly, suspense enough to satisfy, and psychologically a mindbender. This is a worthy, well-written book, and I recommend it. Good until the end I think they messed up on the ending... I was so confused.... there's no way I would be able to read this again, I already had to listen to the ending three times to figure out what and who they were talking about Shocker Story is grueling you absolutely hate what is taking place. The ending is astonishing ...dont assume! False Title (no spoilers) This book was absolutely NOT a psychological thriller in any way, shape, or form.

Mine. And the truth... Max and Alissa have a fairy tale life - newlywed, madly in love and enviously rich. Then Max is brutally stabbed to death at their home and Alissa, miraculously, escapes with her life. But why was she spared? The hunt for the killer begins, uncovering a number of leads - was Max's incredible wealth the motive? Had his shady business practices finally caught up with him? Or was it a stalker with a dangerous obsession? Devoted friends rally around gentle, sweet Alissa as she is left to mourn the loss of her husband and pick up her life. But not everyone is who they seem...Deep-rooted jealousies, secrets and twisted love lie just beneath the surface, and not all fairy tales have a happy ending. Duplicity is a suspenseful thriller from the bestselling author of Look Behind You and Where the Memories Lie. Members Reviews: Silence of the Calves So refreshing to come across a solid mystery that is neither a cutesy cozy nor a gore-fest. This is very well-written, driven by characters that are fully fleshed-out and relatable. As always, Simon Vance is a class act and a pleasure to listen to. The central secret (no spoilers here) is one that has been used in mysteries before, but not always with this much finesse. One character has a tragic history that brought to mind Jody Foster's monologue in Silence of the Lambs. Animal lovers may want to skip one descriptive passage in particular as I did. Overall, a really good read. It gets better... I worried in the beginning through some of the back and forth Police procedural parts that I may have made a mistake with this book, but I'm very glad I stayed with it. It just gets better and better. Nice plot, exceptional narration. Worth a listen. I want to start this review with one of the very few negatives, because it's also a warning (NO SPOILERS): One of the final partz of the book was clearly made to be read. To avoid even the tiniest of spoilers, I'll only say you should read the last 10 chapters, for reasons that will become obvious during that segment. The performance is incredible. Just amazing. Congratulations to the voice actors and their team. Absolutely nothing negatie about it. 5/5 The plot is also very good, although it requires just a bit too much suspension of disbelief. It's not an impossible story, but it's weird enough that a reader may doubt it. Also, there was a small part of the book, net the end of part 2, and during the start of part 3, that was very slightly boring. 4/5 Overall: Worth reading/listening to. But take my advice and read the last 10 chapters, for the sake of your experience. 4/5. OUTSTANDING ... ***** If you could sum up Duplicity in three words, what would they be? Exciting, unpredictable, unforgettable What other book might you compare Duplicity to and why? Untouchable ... the Dragon Tatoo series ...Joe Nesbo ... masters of psycho dramas! Which character as performed by Simon Vance and Henrietta Meire was your favorite? They were perfect narrators ...

Title: The Girl Before Subtitle: A Novel Author: JP Delaney Narrator: Emilia Fox, Finty Williams, Lise Aagaard Knudsen Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 59 mins Language: English Release date: 01-24-17 Publisher: Random House Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 3635 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Psychological Publisher's Summary: In the tradition of The Girl on the Train, The Silent Wife, and Gone Girl comes an enthralling psychological thriller that spins one woman's seemingly good fortune and another woman's mysterious fate through a kaleidoscope of duplicity, death, and deception. Soon to be a major motion picture directed by Ron Howard. Please make a list of every possession you consider essential to your life. The request seems odd, even intrusive - and for the two women who answer, the consequences are devastating. Emma Reeling from a traumatic break-in, Emma wants a new place to live. But none of the apartments she sees are affordable or feel safe. Until One Folgate Street. The house is an architectural masterpiece: a minimalist design of pale stone, plate glass, and soaring ceilings. But there are rules. The enigmatic architect who designed the house retains full control: no books, no throw pillows, no photos or clutter or personal effects of any kind. The space is intended to transform its occupant - and it does. Jane After a personal tragedy, Jane needs a fresh start. When she finds One Folgate Street, she is instantly drawn to the space - and to its aloof but seductive creator. Moving in, Jane soon learns about the untimely death of the home's previous tenant, a woman similar to Jane in age and appearance. As Jane tries to untangle truth from lies, she unwittingly follows the same patterns, makes the same choices, crosses paths with the same people, and experiences the same terror as the girl before. Editorial Reviews: Editors Select, January 2017 - In recent years, listeners have been blessed with tour de force psychological thrillers (think Gone Girl and The Girl on the Train). Well, there's a new girl in town - The Girl Before by JP Delaney - and she's poised to become just as popular as her predecessors. The dual narration, which features mesmerizing performances by Emilia Fox and Finty Williams, simultaneously hooks and unsettles the listener. Emma and Jane share physical features. They both are recovering from traumas. They've dated the same man. They both lived at One Folgate Street. But Jane is alive, and Emma is dead. As Jane unravels Emma's fate and their stories begin to collide, the time between chapters shortens - a masterful technique by Delaney that only serves to heighten the drama. Rich, suspenseful, believable: make room for The Girl Before on your (digital) shelf. Katie, Audible Editor Critic Reviews: "Riveting.... Writing with precision and grace, Delaney strips away the characters' secrets until the raw truth of each is revealed." ( Publishers Weekly) "A masterfully crafted spellbinder...guaranteed to astonish." ( Booklist) "JP Delaney's intricate psychological thriller immediately entangles us, and the gifted narrators keep us spellbound.... Finty Williams is vital and convincing delineating Emma's unreliable persona, and Emilia Fox offers a sympathetic, intelligent Jane as she uncovers what really happened to The Girl Before. Absolutely riveting." ( AudioFile) Members Reviews: No, No, No I thought Gone Girl was well written and had a nice believable little sadistic twist that made it awkwardly fun. Girl on the train, I liked because of the charters and although the ending was predictable the angst created by the writer was well done.

Title: The Homecoming Author: Alan Russell Narrator: Luke Daniels Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 54 mins Language: English Release date: 06-13-17 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 557 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Psychological Publisher's Summary: Seven years ago, young Stella Pierce vanished from the face of the earth. Now her grieving, broken family - along with Detective Orson Cheever, who never stopped working her case - is stunned by her mysterious return. The now-teenage girl claims to have spent her missing years in the company of Travelers - extraterrestrial nomads - voyaging through space. Despite her family's effort to keep Stella's incredible tale secret, the story becomes a national sensation. Most people want to discount her story, saying it's the result of trauma; only Detective Cheever seems to want the same thing Stella does: the truth. The enigmatic Stella finds herself in the eye of the storm while vying forces - some visible and some not - swirl around her. Is it her tale that is incredible, or is it Stella? As new questions surrounding the girl gain terrifying urgency, Cheever learns that there is nothing - and no one - he can trust. Members Reviews: A Weak Offering Even Luke Daniels' amazing narration can't save the poorly plotted, largely aimless mess that is this novel. There are so many generic and forgettable characters in this story that are more archetypes or cliches than actually realized entities. This book feels entirely too much like a stream of consciousness offering where the author had an idea but no real methodology for getting from points A to B to C within the narrative. I tend to be pretty liberal with my five star ratings but this one missed the mark by a mile. You will either love or loathe this novel! There really is little risk of anything other than a strong reaction. Audible classifies The Homecoming as a psychological thriller. It really is not a thriller at all, and the mystery is tied up with the science fiction in the book. I prefer to see it as contemporary teen/YA sci-fi. That it is science fiction is really beyond doubt. In any case, listeners who strongly prefer mystery/thriller novels including psychological thrillers are very unlikely to like The Homecoming. The Homecoming grabbed me from the first chapter and never let go. Luke Daniels does a great job of narration, but there is a section near the end of this novel that would have benefited from a female co-narrator with a teen voice; Katherine Kellgren or Orlagh Cassidy with their voice range and capability with accents would be ideal. I recommend The Homecoming ONLY for those who like contemporary sci-fi of the teen/YA type. Lovers of psychological thrillers likely should look elsewhere. Anticlimactic ending The storyline was engaging. However the plot unraveled toward the end and left me feeling dissatisfied with the conclusion. Enjoy the mystery Truly enjoyed this book. The narrator I'm coming to love his voice in several books I've listened to. But the story was truly worth the listen/read. I'm a believer and know that there is the mystery of our universe we cannot comprehend. Good job Mr. Russell. Fast Paced Thrill What did you love best about The Homecoming? I have read several of Mr. Russell's books and this one is right in line with the rest of his works. The characters are built very well and the story does not lag at any point. This would be a good starting point for readers who are unfamiliar with his other novels. What did you like best about this story? There are several twists that kept me engaged.

Title: The Woman Next Door Author: Cass Green Narrator: Anna Bentinck, Bea Holland Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 6 mins Language: English Release date: 12-01-16 Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers Limited Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 1041 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Psychological Publisher's Summary: A number one best seller, perfect for fans of Her by Harriet Lane and In a Dark Dark Wood by Ruth Ware. Two suburban women. Two dark secrets. The almost perfect murder. Everybody needs good neighbours.... Melissa and Hester have lived next door to each other for years. When Melissa's daughter was younger, Hester was almost like a grandmother to her. But recently they haven't been so close. Hester has plans to change all that. It's obvious to her that despite Melissa's outwardly glamorous and successful life, she needs Hester's help. But taking help from Hester might not be such a good idea for a woman with as many secrets as Melissa. Critic Reviews: "Gripped me from the start: Cass Green sensitively imagines your worst nightmare next door - a truly psychological thriller." (Claire Seeber) "A creepy psychological exploration of the power of secrets to destroy your life." (Psychologies) "The Girl on the Train meets Notes on a Scandal. I read it one sitting, totally gripped." (Erin Kelly) "Twisty, tense and with a truly odious villain." (Eva Dolan) "The Woman Next Door had me gripped from first page to last - completely under the spell of prim yet twisted narrator Hester, a pensioner with an exhilaratingly pitch-black heart of darkness beneath her twinset and pearls." (Ruth Ware, author of In a Dark Dark Wood) "I couldn't put it down. It gripped me from the first page. The best psychological thriller I've read all year." (Suzy Greaves, editor, Psychologies) "Cass Green storms onto the crime scene with this classic and compelling psychological thriller - Hester is a gloriously dark character who held me in her grip from the first page to the last." (Ava Marsh, author of Untouchable) Members Reviews: Biting, Beguiling, Will make you smile AND shudder Plenty to love about this book. Melissa, beautiful wife to a doctor with TV fame and mom to a teenage daughter with issues, has a darker past she'd really like to keep secret. Hester, in her sixties, is widowed, lonely, and wishes she could reconnect to her neighbors, who she was once so close to. What went wrong? Hester couldn't be happier when she is accidentally invited to a party at Melissa's, but then witnesses an event that brings her too close to Melissa's darkest secrets. Hester is nothing if not helpful, and Melissa had better be gracious about it, or else... Good narration, plenty of suspense, cringeworthy characters and overall a great mystery. Recommended! Very good story The story starts off just ok: two neighbors, one more needy than the other. Then something happens that brings them closer than one of them wants. And then...twists as their backgrounds are revealed. Kept me hooked from beginning to end. The reader is outstanding. Exquisitely Insane This book was absolutely phenomenal. I am always looking for mysteries, especially set in England for some reason. Perhaps from all the cozy mysteries I watched in my youth. I am so impressed with the author and her ability to bring the characters to life. They are so layered and so real. I am very interested in how her brain works and how she was able to come up with them. Once this was over, long after all of it was wrapped up, an involuntary chill ran through my body. I don't think I've ever felt like that after a book.

As Sharni's influence touches everyone around her, Clare finds herself fighting for her sanity as well her family. Members Reviews: Beyond impressed I thought this would be your normal predictable she wants my life story this was so much more than that so much more twisted and so much more exciting than any story like this I've ever read Outstanding This is by far one of the best, most mind blowing books I've come across in a long time. A Rollercoaster ride full of twists and turns. Don't try to figure it out, just hold on and enjoy! Make sure that you have the time to listen, once you start you won't want to stop. Definitely worth the money or the credit. WOW! I honestly listened to 'Remember Me' in one sitting. It kept me up all night, I couldn't stop listening to see what would happen next- and I was not disappointed. A young mother to a two year old is greeted by her new neighbours. Shawnee is a spunky self employed photographer who offers Louise, our young mother, all kinds of friendship. Louise thinks her new neighbour is one off, but waffles back and forth as to whether it's Shawnee who is lying and manipulative, or whether she herself is being forgetful. Louise takes a lot of Valium- too many- and one of the side effects is forgetfulness. When Shawnee offers to watch Louise's baby for free, Louise is stand-offish but her husband finds it to be a great idea. Louise grows more and more suspicious that her new neighbour is after her husband and her baby- and so does the reader.. but no one will believe a woman who takes too many pills.. This story is addictive with twists and turns and more than likely, one of the most stunning endings I've ever listened to. I am shocked and mesmerized. 5 big stars -Wendi THIS WAS GOOOOOD Gone Girlesque .... this was truly suspenseful! I didnt know who to believe! The narrator was perfect! Keeps your attention til the end This was one of the better books Ive read. It will keep your attention until the very end. I listened pretty much straight through.

The Child Finder Audiobook by Rene Denfeld

Title: The Child Finder Subtitle: A Novel Author: Rene Denfeld Narrator: Alyssa Bresnahan Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 40 mins Language: English Release date: 09-05-17 Publisher: Harper Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 504 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Psychological Publisher's Summary: A haunting, richly atmospheric, and deeply suspenseful novel from the acclaimed author of The Enchanted about an investigator who must use her unique insights to find a missing little girl. "Where are you, Madison Culver? Flying with the angels, a silver speck on a wing? Are you dreaming, buried under snow? Or is it possible you are still alive?" Three years ago, Madison Culver disappeared when her family was choosing a Christmas tree in Oregon's Skookum National Forest. She would be eight years old now - if she has survived. Desperate to find their beloved daughter, certain someone took her, the Culvers turn to Naomi, a private investigator with an uncanny talent for locating the lost and missing. Known to the police and a select group of parents as "the Child Finder", Naomi is their last hope. Naomi's methodical search takes her deep into the icy, mysterious forest in the Pacific Northwest and into her own fragmented past. She understands children like Madison because once upon a time, she was a lost girl, too. As Naomi relentlessly pursues and slowly uncovers the truth behind Madison's disappearance, shards of a dark dream pierce the defenses that have protected her, reminding her of a terrible loss she feels but cannot remember. If she finds Madison, will Naomi ultimately unlock the secrets of her own life? Told in the alternating voices of Naomi and a deeply imaginative child, The Child Finder is a breathtaking, exquisitely rendered literary listen about redemption, the line between reality and memories and dreams, and the human capacity to survive. Members Reviews: Beauty and Brutality, Haunting and Healing I was blown away by this novel. The concept of the Child Finder herself was very unique and captivating, and the story, between different points of view, contained elements of magical realism that I have never experienced before. The writing was lush and exquisite, and the narrator did great justice to the authors work. I became lost in this icy, haunted landscape as Naomi works in her subtle, quiet way to try to find a little girl who has been lost from the regular world for many years. The descriptive beauty of the words coming together to form such haunting, beautiful writing was brilliant, to me- as if each word carried meaning. The words could be strikingly painful, brutal while also profoundly touching and affecting, and redemptive. I loved this book and give it my highest recommendation! The Strength to Survive A very good author can tell even the hardest story to hear with merciful skill. Here is a novel, a hard story to participate in, where that admirable talent is wonderfully evident. How else could we endure a story that takes us into such dark places, and not feel overwrought? But Denfield accomplishes that merciful bit of magic and even sends us off into the light with an affirmation of strength and compassion. An author that works professionally with some of the most hardened criminals, Denfield could most likely load her novels with sensational graphic details uglier than even the fiction of Karin Slaughter -- but Denfield is a very intelligent and talented author that works with real human beings in real situations.

When You Disappeared Audiobook by John Marrs

Title: When You Disappeared Author: John Marrs Narrator: Simon Mattacks, Elizabeth Knowelden Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 45 mins Language: English Release date: 09-07-17 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 309 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Psychological Publisher's Summary: All she wanted was the truth, but she'll wish she never found out. When Catherine wakes up alone one morning, she thinks her husband has gone for a run before work. But Simon never makes it to the office. His running shoes are by the front door. Nothing is missing - except him. Catherine knows Simon must be in trouble. He wouldn't just leave her. He wouldn't leave the children. But Simon knows the truth - about why he left and what he's done. He knows things about his marriage that it would kill Catherine to find out. The memories she holds onto are lies. While Catherine faces a dark new reality at home, Simon's halfway around the world, alive and thriving. He's doing whatever it takes to stay one step ahead of the truth. But he can't hide forever, and when he reappears twenty-five years later, Catherine will finally learn who he is. And wish she'd stayed in the dark. Members Reviews: This novel has issues! When You Disappeared could have been a great novel if a competent author had taken the plot concept and written the novel. it is still a marginally good psychological thriller. The story is told in the first person of the female protagonist and the male antagonist with Elizabeth Knowelden reading the female part very well and Simon Mattacks reading the male part not so well. My main issue with the novel is that it is so chopped up that it's difficult for the listener to keep pace as the novel goes back and forth constantly over a 28 year time period. The novel hits the time periods in seemingly random order. Summary: Great plot concept with poor implementation due to dizzyingly frequent skips back and forth over 28 years; poor narration by the male narrator. When You Disappeared by Ohn Marris Always tell the truth, always before the lies are as difficult to discover as they are in When You Disappeared. Ah what an awesome novel this will keep you rivited to whereevre you are when you begin listening. So stock up on tissue paper, ice cream, chocolate or beer or wine or potato chips. You will need the comfort food. Hated the ending

I will say that the characters were well drawn; its the best showing of a true sociopath I've read. I dislike the ending because it showed the nature of cowardice Seriously?! Terrible. Not sure why the author felt the need to have shocking awful things happen all the time. Main character is absolutely repulsive. Douche bag. Would not recommend. Great book! Unexpected ending This was a great book. You love and hate the characters at different times. This didn't end how I thought it would. Definitely recommend

Title: Bonfire Subtitle: A Novel Author: Krysten Ritter Narrator: Karissa Vacker Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 52 mins Language: English Release date: 11-07-17 Publisher: Random House Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 353 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Psychological Publisher's Summary: Can you ever outrun your past? From actress, producer, and writer Krysten Ritter, a psychological suspense novel about a woman forced to confront her past in the wake of small-town corruption. It has been 10 years since Abby Williams left home and scrubbed away all visible evidence of her small-town roots. Now, working as an environmental lawyer in Chicago, she has a thriving career, a modern apartment, and her pick of meaningless one-night stands. But when a new case takes her back home to Barrens, Indiana, the life Abby painstakingly created begins to crack. Tasked with investigating Optimal Plastics, the town's most high-profile company and economic heart, Abby begins to find strange connections to Barrens' biggest scandal from more than a decade ago involving the popular Kaycee Mitchell and her closest friends - just before Kaycee disappeared for good. Abby knows the key to solving any case lies in the weak spots, the unanswered questions. But as she tries desperately to find out what really happened to Kaycee, troubling memories begin to resurface, and she begins to doubt her own observations. And when she unearths an even more disturbing secret - a ritual called "The Game" - it will threaten the reputations and lives of the community and risk exposing a darkness that may consume her. With tantalizing twists, slow-burning suspense, and a remote, rural town of just five claustrophobic miles, Bonfire is a dark exploration of what happens when your past and present collide. Critic Reviews: "A vicious years-old small town scandal makes the perfect backdrop for this gritty, moody mystery that will have listeners ripping through the audiobook at top speed. Bonfire ushers in a bold new voice to the suspense genre. I can't wait to see what Ritter dreams up next." (Mary Kubica, New York Times best-selling author of The Good Girl) Members Reviews: I admit I bought this on Krysten Ritter's name This book is about five times better written than most of the dozens of thrillers that I have picked up over the years because they were on sale as Audible Daily Deal. I paid full price for this on the strength of the author's acting. This book has better characters, better dialogue, and a better story than nearly all. The writer was extremely good at letting you know which character is talking and reminding you of who is who- both huge points in audiobooks. I didn't get to the end feeling completely satisfied, but it was definitely in the upper 95th percentile. The end felt a bit rushed. I would happily discuss this further, but I am not going to give anything away here. I hope the author writes a lot more books. Excellent Mystery Loved the plot and characters, Ritter has a knack for storytelling, total suspense up until the end. Keeps you hanging until the end A mystery that keeps you hanging on until the very end. I finished it in two days as I didnt want to stop listening. Very well written and well narrated and hope I see another Ritter book in the future. Best book I've listened in a long time The story is so good that at the end I didn't realized that I was almost done. I truly wished the book was longer so I could be with these wonderfull characters at least for a couple of days more. Krysten Ritter, well done! Wanting something more This story started as a fairly conventional eco-thriller that I could honestly take or leave.

Title: White Bodies Subtitle: A Novel Author: Jane Robins Narrator: Camilla Arfwedson Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 5 mins Language: English Release date: 12-26-17 Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 75 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Psychological Publisher's Summary: This chilling psychological suspense novel - think Strangers on a Train for the modern age - explores the dark side of love and the unbreakable ties that bind two sisters together. Felix and Tilda seem like the perfect couple: young and in love, a financier and a beautiful up-and-coming starlet. But behind their flawless façade, not everything is as it seems. Callie, Tilda's unassuming twin, has watched her sister visibly shrink under Felix's domineering love. She has looked on silently as Tilda stopped working, nearly stopped eating, and turned into a neat freak, with mugs wrapped in Saran Wrap and suspicious syringes hidden in the bathroom trash. She knows about Felix's uncontrollable rages and has seen the bruises on the white skin of her sister's arms. Worried about the psychological hold that Felix seems to have over Tilda, Callie joins an Internet support group for victims of abuse and their friends. However, things spiral out of control, and she starts to doubt her own judgment when one of her new acquaintances is killed by an abusive man. And then suddenly Felix dies - or was he murdered? A pause-resisting work of suspense that announces a stunning new voice in fiction, White Bodies will change the way you think about obsession, love, and the violence we inflict on one another - and ourselves. Members Reviews: Just ok. The idea of the book was great and quite original. However, I did not find the main character likable. I thought she was strange. I did not enjoy the ending of this book, but who ever agrees with an ending of a book? Performance was great - narrator was great with different accents of the characters. But as a whole, this book was just okay for me. Who is Being Abused? Twin sisters with complicated lives. One is really nosy, going through the other's trash. A young husband ends up dead: heart defect or murder. A fast read with multiple twists. Takes awhile to draw you in. Would you consider the audio edition of White Bodies to be better than the print version? n/a What was one of the most memorable moments of White Bodies? One of the most memorable moments was the beginning when Felix held Tilda underwater. What does Camilla Arfwedson bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? She does a great job at all the different voices. Poor recommendation by audible editor This book was recommended by one of the editors in one of the emails. It started out okay...then just got worse. I couldnt even finish it. Lived it!! Maybe not so much thriller but absolutely psychological intensity. I loved the flow of the story, and will definitely look for more of Jane Robbins work. Worth the credit and worth the time.

Her husband, a prestigious psychiatrist, has been in an accident. And he isn't alone. Suddenly Evelyn's world isn't as tidy as she thought. And in the midst of it all is Juliette, not only her husband's secret lover but also his patient. If news of the affair were to get out, it would ruin more than just Evelyn's marriage. Although it's a bitter pill for Evelyn to swallow, protecting her family means staying silent - even if, as she begins to discover, the night of the accident has consequences far more dangerous than the unmasking of an affair. But the more Evelyn learns about Juliette's picture-perfect life - complete with a handsome, unsuspecting husband - the more she yearns for revenge...and satisfaction. Her growing obsession fuels her rage, burning away her complacency. What will be left of her after it flames out? Members Reviews: Self pitying schlock First world pampered selfish woman self-obsessed wallowing in her victim-hood. Omg she needs to go and work in the Peace Corps or something. So badly written too. Can't believe I wasted time on this emotional drama I thought this was about a murder, but it's all about an affair. if you like that kind of stuff the narrator is good . personally, it's not my taste. like comfort food... Found it to be a relaxing and exciting read. One that any 40 something woman could appreciate. Well worth the read. Not a Thriller/Mystery This book wasnt for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more? This would best be suited for someone who likes romance books. Would you be willing to try another book from Victoria Helen Stone? Why or why not? Probably not, the concept sounded great, but it just fell short. How could the performance have been better? This narrator just sounded like a kindergarten teacher. It would have been better to have someone with a bit more personality. You didnt love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities? The book wasn't bad, the problem I had was with the narration. Any additional comments? No Keeps you guessing This is my first book by Victoria Stone. From the first chapter, I was hooked. A successful psychiatrist finds himself at the mercy of his wife after being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Two couples who do not know each other find themselves forever entangled as lies and deceit weaves its way through their lives. Compounded with a suspiciously death and you have a great book. It moves graciously from present to past but you can easily follow as their are not that many subjects in the story. I did not however like the end of the book. All this suspense has been laid out and you think the end will be thrilling. But it just kinds slows down and mentions how everyone's life moved all. There could have been a huge dramatic ending, but maybe the writer lost interest. I was disappointed. All in all I would recommend it. I

Members Reviews: Skip this book I wasted time on this book, it was like a combination of a bad Lifetime TV Movie/Scooby-Doo mystery. Do yourself a favor and save your money/credit. The ending made up for it! I listened to this book after listening to The Girl from the Sea, which I loved. At times, I found the main character in this book be frustrating because you would think a grown woman would know better. The story itself is good though, slightly predictable, but kept you intrigue because you wanted to see what was going to happen. started good but.. the book started out pretty strong and kept my interest, preventing me from falling asleep behind the wheel... I spend many hours every day in commuter traffic in the Bay Area and tjank god for listening to audio books. Started good but then the story got more and more stupid. Alsi the main character Louisa was getting on my nerves, so annoying and so whiney. If you want to listen/read a GREAT book check out "Find Her" by Lisa Gardner!! The book was amazing it kept you on your toes I was shocked at the end good choice good plot Amazing I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in psychological thrillers I would also recommend this book to mental help and social work profession is alike I chose the rating of five because the book kept you on edge and it kept your interest Gripping!!!!! If you are looking for a book in which you cannot put down, this is it. The performance by the narrator was outstanding, I will not hesitate to add another book to my collection containing this narrator. The storyline was gripping from the beginning to the end. Shalini's main characters was excellently played out. I was surprised at th ending, didn't see it coming.i will recommend this book right away, just get it!!

I have three months to write the last book of my life. Three months to confess the details of that day, and how it changed everything for me. My name is Helena Ross. I've written 15 romance novels, 10 of which have become international best sellers. But this one isn't a romance, no happily ever after in place. This novel holds only the truth, which I have run away from for four years. The truth, which I have hidden from the police, from my loved ones, from the world. This final book? It's my confession. Members Reviews: Ugly cry good This audio ripped my heart out and left it on the floor. Ive never listened to an audio that had me so emotional. This Audio kept me engaged from beginning to end. The way the author navigated the story while hinting, twisted, and eventually pulling out a trump card I would have never seen coming was beautiful, poetic, and heartbreaking. The narrator did such a fabulous job of giving all the characters so much personality from fragile and broken, to strong and supportive. Bravo. A five star Audio all the way around. Overall great book The beginning was a little slow, but overall I really loved this book. The narrator sounded like Siri sometimes and you could tell that pieces have been added in afterwards. Slow burn psychological thriller Different from Alessandra's normal books but once it got going it was a great story. The narrator did an excellent job with the read , it has mystery , thrill and sadness but overall audio/ book . Great story I truly enjoyed this book. It was captivating and, although it wasn't a nail-biting thriller the entire way through, it definitely had some twists and turns that weren't easy to see coming. This book was suspenseful, sad, witty, and heartfelt. There were times when the narrator sounded somewhat robotic, but it was hardly noticeable and didn't take away from the story. Overall, it was a great listen and I would definitely recommend it.

Alice, once a singer in a well-known rock band, is now a successful lawyer. Jake is a partner in an up-and-coming psychology practice. Their life together holds endless possibilities. After receiving an enticing wedding gift from one of Alice's prominent clients, they decide to join an exclusive and mysterious group known only as the Pact. The goal of the Pact seems simple: to keep marriages happy and intact. And most of its rules make sense: Always answer the phone when your spouse calls. Exchange thoughtful gifts monthly. Plan a trip together once per quarter. Never mention the Pact to anyone. Alice and Jake are initially seduced by the glamorous parties, the sense of community, their widening social circle of like-minded couples. And then one of them breaks the rules. The young lovers are about to discover that for adherents to the Pact, membership, like marriage, is for life. And the Pact will go to any lengths to enforce that rule. For Jake and Alice, the marriage of their dreams is about to become their worst nightmare. Members Reviews: This was an interesting book! This had a pretty unique plot - a newly married couple gets invited to become part of an exclusive club, designed to help keep couples married for life. The premise was really creative, and the author did a terrific job of building up the conflict. What's interesting about this book is just like any other cult or abusive relationship -- in passing conversation, you think, "How could they possibly get caught up in that?" But it's the frog slowly boiling in water scenario, and the author really knocked it out of the park with the build-up. The character development was outstanding, and the narrator was superb. I'm not sure I liked the ending, though. Not going to give it away here to spoil it, but all in all it was a pretty fun listen. I barely put it down... highly recommend for anyone who enjoys suspenseful drama. Kept me up all night Thought the book had an interesting storyline. I really enjoyed the fictional concept but could imagine how a good idea can evolve into something frightening due to greed and overblown egos. The Pact = Scientology If you substitute the word Pact for The Church, you'd have yourself a book about Scientology. From the Pact's leadership, surveillance of members, prison camp, and torture, it's a pretty good description of what real life is like in The Church of Scientology as described by former members -- many of whom have written books themselves. The narrator's attempt at a woman's voice was excruciating. I kept thinking of Mr. Bill every time Alice would speak (Oh nooooooooo...!). Not only was her voice annoying, but the character itself was very boring.

Title: Her Every Fear Subtitle: A Novel Author: Peter Swanson Narrator: Eva Kaminsky Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 51 mins Language: English Release date: 01-10-17 Publisher: HarperAudio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 926 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Psychological Publisher's Summary: The author of the wildly popular The Kind Worth Killing returns with an electrifying and downright Hitchcockian psychological thriller - as tantalizing as the cinema classics Rear Window and Wait Until Dark - involving a young woman caught in a vise of voyeurism, betrayal, manipulation, and murder. The danger isn't all in your head. Growing up, Kate Priddy was always a bit neurotic, experiencing momentary bouts of anxiety that exploded into full-blown panic attacks after an ex-boyfriend kidnapped her and nearly ended her life. When Corbin Dell, a distant cousin in Boston, suggests the two temporarily swap apartments, Kate, an art student in London, agrees, hoping that time away in a new place will help her overcome the recent wreckage of her life. But soon after her arrival at Corbin's grand apartment on Beacon Hill, Kate makes a shocking discovery: his next-door neighbor, a young woman named Audrey Marshall, has been murdered. When the police question her about Corbin, a shaken Kate has few answers and many questions of her own - curiosity that intensifies when she meets Alan Cherney, a handsome, quiet tenant who lives across the courtyard, in the apartment facing Audrey's. Alan saw Corbin surreptitiously come and go from Audrey's place, yet he's denied knowing her. Then, Kate runs into a tearful man claiming to be the dead woman's old boyfriend, who insists Corbin did the deed the night that he left for London. When she reaches out to her cousin, he proclaims his innocence and calms her nerves, until she comes across disturbing objects hidden in the apartment - and accidently learns that Corbin is not where he says he is. Could Corbin be a killer? And what about Alan? Kate finds herself drawn to this appealing man who seems so sincere, yet she isn't sure. Jet-lagged and emotionally unstable, her imagination full of dark images caused by the terror of her past, Kate can barely trust herself. So how could she take the chance on a stranger she's just met? Yet the danger Kate imagines isn't nearly as twisted and deadly as what's about to happen. When her every fear becomes very real. And much, much closer than she thinks. Told from multiple points of view, Her Every Fear is a scintillating, edgy novel rich with Peter Swanson's chilling insight into the darkest corners of the human psyche and virtuosic skill for plotting that has propelled him to the highest ranks of suspense, in the tradition of such greats as Gillian Flynn, Paula Hawkins, Patricia Highsmith, and James M. Cain. Critic Reviews: "Like all good psychological thrillers, this one keeps listeners on edge.... Swanson's story is compelling. [Narrator Eva] Kaminsky brings it all to life - the fear and panic and the tenuous nature of trusting ourselves and others." ( AudioFile) Members Reviews: Sometimes the Narrator Elevates the Story I have GOT TO STOP buying into this irritating rash of 'clever modern thrillers with a twist' a'la 'Gone Girl'. They are not clever and not thrilling.

Nutshell Audiobook by Ian McEwan

Title: Nutshell Author: Ian McEwan Narrator: Rory Kinnear Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 26 mins Language: English Release date: 09-13-16 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 1448 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Psychological Publisher's Summary: From the best-selling author of Atonement, Nutshell is a classic story of murder and deceit, told by a narrator with a perspective and voice unlike any in recent literature. A bravura performance, it is the finest recent work from a true master. To be bound in a nutshell, see the world in two inches of ivory, in a grain of sand. Why not, when all of literature, all of art, of human endeavour is just a speck in the universe of possible things? Critic Reviews: "Short, fast-paced, expertly rendered by a voice it seems written for, this is flawless production, and pure entertainment." (AudioFile) Members Reviews: The Long Version, and the Short. This was my sixth novel by Ian McEwan, and though I'd be hard-pressed to say which has been my favourite so far, it's safe to say "Nutshell" now ranks among my favourite novels of all time. This is one of those audiobooks I felt the need to take on much-hated household chores for, just so I could have a long stretch of listening time, and I listened to this audiobook in one extended, fascinating session (the house looks much better for it too). A modern and loose retelling of Shakespeare's Hamlet, it has all the elements of high drama and theatrics you'd expect from the Bard, but whether you're 'into' Shakespeare, or even familiar with the original play or not hardly matters. Here is a very clever thriller about two lovers plotting murder for entirely selfish motives, the whole of which is narrated by a yet unborn foetus. An unusual and not especially credible narrator you might say, but then I've read books narrated by trees, dogs and horses among other things: the greatest reward comes if you're willing to suspend disbelief and go along with the story. Trudy and her husband John are currently separated, though they are expecting their first child. The expecting mother claims she needs 'time to herself', but really, she just wants to keep the coast clear in the London marriage home that John inherited from his parents so that she and her lover Claude (who just happens to be John's younger brother) can indulge in frequent passionate sex and even more frequent plotting sessions. John must be gotten rid of, so they can get their hands on the fortune the sale of the house will bring, and nothing is going to get in their way. Possibly. Our narrator has clearly inherited a large dose of his father's creative geniusJohn is a published poet and publisher, and baby expresses himself beautifully and with great wit, quotes famous literary authors and happens to be a wine aficionado thanks to his mother's frequent imbibing of fine vintages. He hates and mistrusts his uncle Claude, and for good reason. Apart from Claude possibly wanting to be rid of another man's baby, he's also an insufferable bore whose conversation is entirely made up of platitudes and boring clichés; not clear is whether Claude is a complete fool, or cleverly hiding his true self. I've seen Rory Kinnear perform in Shakespeare plays, and his Iago, the great villain in Othello, was especially chilling.

The Surrogate Audiobook by Louise Jensen

When you want something so badly, you almost feel you'd kill for it? Be careful what you wish for.... Kat and her husband Nick have tried everything to become parents, and are on the point of giving up. Then a chance encounter with Kat's childhood friend Lisa gives Kat and Nick one last chance to achieve their dream. But Kat and Lisa's history hides dark secrets. And there is more to Lisa than meets the eye. As dangerous cracks start to appear in Kat's perfect picture of happily-ever-after, she realizes that she must face her fear of the past to save her family.... From the number-one best-selling author of The Sister and The Gift, this is an unputdownable psychological thriller which asks how far we will go to create our perfect family. Members Reviews: Loved it!!! Not at all what I expected and I mean that in a good way!! I found myself with my jaw hanging open more than once as I listened to the many twists and turns. I thoroughly enjoyed the story and the narrator as she really kept the story alive with her tone. I will say that I listened to it at X1.5 speed because some of her pauses were really long, but the change in speed made it perfect! Thought it would be predictable, but it was just weird. At first I thought it was a pretty predictable story about a surrogate getting revenge on an old friend. But it twisted and changed and just got weird. I couldve done without the west side story that, it just didnt fit and seem like it was just stuck in there. Without spoilers the ending was disappointing and had a lot of holes. The narrator was great, but the story was lacking, the characters were weak, and the ending was just horrible. A thrilling page turner Once again Louise Jensen weaves an intricate thriller with plenty of suspense, twists and turns. Kat, Nick, Lisa and Richard all have unspeakable guilty secrets, which keeps readers on our toes right to the drammatic end and surprising epilogue. Family secrets, violence, lies, misunderstandings and betrayal in a novel in which everyone has plenty of dark secrets to hide. It is told mostly by Lisa in the present tense which makes events feel real and urgent. The writing is brilliant,. I love the author's use of metaphor and the brilliant way we look into the characters' minds and motivations. Especially for lovers of complex and suspenseful contemporary, family dramas and psychological thrillers. Wow!!! Oh my gosh!!!!!!! Wow!!!!! Love the twists and how everything connects. But also hated how it turned out. How do I love and hate the same book at the same time?!?!? Im torn. Its so well done. Its so...dark, evil, cold?!?!? I dont even know how to explain. But its freaking awesome at the same time! Yep, Im a total psycho. This confirms it. Wow ! I really had to soak this book in, it was intense. The ending was perfect for a psychological thriller. This is so far her best book.Totally worth the credit.

Poison Audiobook by Galt Niederhoffer

Poison is a literary psychological thriller audiobook about a marriage that follows minor betrayal into a bubbling stew of lies, cruelty, manipulation, and danger. Cass and Ryan Connor have achieved family nirvana. With three kids between them, a cat, a yard, and a home they built and feathered, they seem to have the modern family dream. Their family, including Cass' two children from previous relationships, has recently moved to Portland - a new start for their new lives. Cass and Ryan have stable, successful careers, and they are happy. But trouble begins almost imperceptibly. First with small omissions and white lies that happen daily in any marital bedroom. They seem insignificant, but they are quickly followed by a series of denials and feints that mushroom and then cyclone in menace. With life-or-death stakes and irreversible consequences, Poison is a chilling and irresistible reminder that the closest bond designed to protect and provide for each other and for children can change in a minute. Members Reviews: Couldnt get into the story because of the narration The story had promise even though it was disjointed. But I couldnt listen for another second. The narrator (Hillary Huber) used a pseudo sexy voice that made it unbearable. I couldnt stand her various voices. Hard pass and if I think of completing this book Ill wait for the print version on the bargain rack. I keep forgetting to preview narration but I didnt this time and she seemed ok in the sample. But it was tedious!!! Excellent Thriller Highly recommended! The book title is more indicative than it lets on and the summary doesnt do it justice. The story seems like it will unfold under standard, everyday events and circumstances - whether or not pleasant. However, it takes a razor sharp turn early on and accelerates until the end. I wish it was a little more subtle in the plunge of thrill in the sense that we knew more about their lives and why the characters take such drastic measures so soon. Nonetheless, this was a great thriller with twists and turns, an unusual dynamic of how families are formed and why. Chilling! This is an edge of your seat psychological thriller. It kept me up late at night listening. I couldn't stop! The book is about Cass and Ryan, a married couple starting fresh in a new town in Maine from NYC. They seem to have it all, until very early on cracks and then huge chasms appear in their marriage. The book is told through the eyes of Cass. Scary, sometimes baffling, the tale is sure to cast a range of emotions. I loved this book and hope they make it into a movie. That said, I did not like the narrator. Sometimes she sounded like a radio dj and others robotic. In fact, my husband came in while I was listening and said "wow that sounds like a robot!" If the book wasn't so compelling, I probably would have gave up due to narrator. Other than that this is a must read/listen!! Too unrealistic I had high hopes for this book after reading the synopsis; however, the story fell way below expectations. First- I was not a fan of the narrator. Her voice sounded way too cheerful for the setting of the story. Second- the characters were underdeveloped, which made it difficult to form a connection with. Finally- 90% of the storyline was completely unrealistic.

The Darkest Lies Audiobook by Barbara Copperthwaite

A daughter hiding a terrible secret. Melanie Oak appeared to have the perfect life. Married to her childhood sweetheart, Jacob, the couple live with their beautiful, loving, teenage daughter, Beth, in a pretty village. Nothing can shake her happiness - until the day that Beth goes missing, and is discovered beaten almost to the point of death, her broken body lying in a freezing creek on the marshes near their home. Consumed with grief, Melanie is determined to find her daughter's attacker. Someone in the village must have seen something. Why won't they talk? As Melanie tries to piece together what happened to Beth, she discovers that her innocent teenager has been harboring some dark secrets of her own. The truth may lie closer to home and put Melanie's life in terrible danger. A completely gripping psychological thriller with a twist you won't see coming. Fans of The Girl on the Train, The Sister and Before I Let You In will be captivated. Members Reviews: Slow paced, weird POVs, insipid characters This story did not resonate with me because I didnt like the writing style and because I couldnt develop a strong interest in any of the characters, and the story just didnt hold my interest. The author employs a clunky multiple point-of-view style to tell the story using one of my very least favorite POV styles as the main one: a sort of first and second person mix where the second person is not YOU the reader but YOU, another character. So mom is saying, Beth, we looked for you but you were gone, werent you, Beth? (Interspersed are tiny parts told from the bad guys POV and then Beths own story). This is probably a personal preference but it really bugged me. In addition, I found the characters insipid and too many aspects of the plot were just pushed past the point of fictional unbelievability. The parents came across as too naive and so did Beth, even for small town residents. When characters are pushed too far past the mark, it makes me disconnect from the story. The narration was good, but it could not save the book for me. super psychological drama If you can get past the narrator for the first hour os so she actually improves and by the end of the book you might actually reckon she was reasonable.....well, anyway, this was the effect that she/the book had on me. She tended to over articulate everything and sounded like she was reading to a class of kindy kiddies and sometimes her intonations were not correct in a sentence or two, or three - if you get my meaning. However, once you overcome the narrator - if you can - the book was excellent. All written in the first person I found it riveting right to the excellent ending which I must admit, I did not see coming. Well done, Barbara Copperthwaite, I'll certainly be on the lookout for more of yours. I wish I loved this book! This book wasn't horrible but the narrator was. I found myself skipping chapters just so I could finish the book because I couldn't handle the narrator! Every word she spoke, unless she was speaking for another character, sounded as if she was asking a question. Her voice made the book drag on as if it would never end. The book would have been much better if it was read by someone else.

Black Chalk Audiobook by Christopher J. Yates

Yates Narrator: Peter Brooke Format: Unabridged Length: 13 hrs and 54 mins Language: English Release date: 11-21-17 Publisher: Macmillan Audio Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 29 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Psychological Publisher's Summary: "This is the smart summer thriller you've been waiting for." (NPR's All Things Considered) Named a Best Book of the Year by NPR in 2015, Black Chalk finally makes its American audiobook debut. A breathless psychological thriller set in New York and at Oxford University in which a group of six students play an elaborate game of dares and consequences with tragic results. It was only ever meant to be a game played by six best friends in their first year at Oxford University - a game of consequences, silly forfeits, and childish dares. But then the game changed: The stakes grew higher and the dares more personal and more humiliating, finally evolving into a vicious struggle with unpredictable and tragic results. Now, 14 years later, the remaining players must meet again for the final round. Who knows better than your best friends what would break you? A gripping psychological thriller partly inspired by the author's own time at Oxford University, Black Chalk is perfect for fans of the high tension and expert pacing. Christopher J. Yates' background in puzzle writing and setting is clearly felt in the plotting of this clever, tricky audiobook that will keep listeners guessing till the very last track. This program includes a bonus chapter from Christopher J. Yates' upcoming book, Grist Mill Road, set to publish in 2018. Members Reviews: Wow!! I wasted 13 hours of my life!! This story is way too slow and hard to follow. Great story with underdeveloped characters I really liked the overall story in this book and it definitely held my attention. I went out of my way to listen to it because I'd been told it had similarities with The Secret History (one of my favorites). I appreciated the way the author subtly provided clues along the way and I found the present day/past day story approach fun to follow. What was a bit hard to swallow was the behavior of the main characters. Two of the main characters' behaviors seems to point to some sort of personality disorders, but the reader isn't given enough background or understanding to determine if their behaviors/choices really make sense or are believable. This issue didn't take away from my enjoyment of the story, but I think to really make the story believable, the author needs to provide better character development. Overall, I would recommend this to someone who enjoys a suspense with many twists.

Title: UNSUB Subtitle: A Novel Author: Meg Gardiner Narrator: Hillary Huber Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs Language: English Release date: 06-27-17 Publisher: Penguin Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 226 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Psychological Publisher's Summary: A riveting psychological thriller inspired by the never-caught Zodiac Killer, about a young detective determined to apprehend the serial murderer who destroyed her family and terrorized a city 20 years earlier. Caitlin Hendrix has been a narcotics detective for six months when the killer at the heart of all her childhood nightmares reemerges: the Prophet. An UNSUB - what the FBI calls an unknown subject - the Prophet terrorized the Bay Area in the 1990s and nearly destroyed her father, the lead investigator on the case. The Prophet's cryptic messages and mind games drove Detective Mack Hendrix to the brink of madness, and Mack's failure to solve the series of ritualized murders - 11 seemingly unconnected victims left with the ancient sign for Mercury etched into their flesh - was the final nail in the coffin for a once promising career. Twenty years later, two bodies are found bearing the haunting signature of the Prophet. Caitlin Hendrix has never escaped the shadow of her father's failure to protect their city. But now the ruthless madman is killing again and has set his sights on her, threatening to undermine the fragile barrier she rigidly maintains, for her own protection, between relentless pursuit and dangerous obsession. Determined to decipher the Prophet's twisted messages and stop the carnage, Caitlin ignores her father's warnings as she draws closer to the killer with each new gruesome murder. Is it a copycat, or can this really be the same Prophet who haunted her childhood? Will Caitlin avoid repeating her father's mistakes and redeem her family name, or will chasing the Prophet drag her and everyone she loves into the depths of the abyss? Members Reviews: Would make a great movie. What made the experience of listening to UNSUB the most enjoyable? It was nice to be able to listen while doing other tasks. I really liked the story and would not have had the time to read the book. Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How? Yes. I can usually figure out who the bad guy is. With this story however, I did not. What three words best describe Hillary Hubers performance? Irritating, distracting, eye-rolling. I did not like this narrator. I have not listened to very many audio books yet, so I may be way off and others may like her. I just found her character voices often distracting. It would sometimes pull me out of the book and get me thinking about her voice rather than the story. Any additional comments? Great story. I really enjoyed it. I think this would make a good movie. I'd pay to see it. Once you start, you can't stop Any additional comments? This book really caught me by surprise. I started it at 7:30 AM, and I finished the book the same day. It is a great crime novel based somewhat on the Zodiac killer, and it is NON-STOP goodness. It has a little bit of everything, and it will keep you on your toes. Not to mention, the ending is a complete SHOCK! The narrator is fantastic. Don't waste another minute; get this book! A waste of time I heard a very positive review of this book on NPR and looked forward to listening to this. Was I ever disappointed. It was easy to anticipate the story line (except for the very last few seconds), the characters lacked credibility and judgment, defied common sense, etc. etc. And to top it off, the perverse details of the killer seemed to be where the author invested the most time but once again, was not believable.

When Jed Allen wakes up at a desk in New York City, he has no idea who he is. The evidence around him shows he's a hotshot architect, and a photo in his wallet reveals he has a beautiful girlfriend named Cassie. But when he goes home to seek her help, Cassie is nowhere to be found. Self-penned notes remind Jed that he's been suffering bouts of amnesia since a car crash nine months ago. As he plays private detective with the facts of his own life, he discovers more and more about his character. But when he finds a bloodied dress in the trunk of his car, amid news reports of a serial killer abducting women from Central Park, Jed has to confront the possibility that his lost memories could contain the darkest secrets imaginable... Nobody around him has the answers to his questions. Who is the killer? And where has Cassie gone? Members Reviews: A bit predictable... I have listened to and enjoyed all of Keith Houghton's book, especially the Gabe Quinn series. I personally wish he would continue that series. Of all his books I have to say this one is probably my least favorite. It's not a bad story but it is predictable. The prologue sets up the book with the protagonist stalking his "girlfriend ". He causes a car accident which causes him to have amnesia, and he witnesses a horrific accident that must have caused her death. Time goes by and he suffers from a form of amnesia that comes and goes. Meanwhile there's a serial killer out there and he gets arrested for the crimes. There's a lot in between , this is the short version. Anyway, did he do it or is he being set up since he doesn't know if he did it or not. But in the meanwhile he's still looking for his girlfriend... The end of the epilogue is actually quite funny if not a little ominous. If you found this review helpful please indicate so. Thank You.

With memories locked away, the sisters take divergent paths. Callie disappears, Mimi keeps so busy she has no time to think, and Ginger develops a lifelong aversion to risk that threatens the relationships she holds most dear. When a whispered comment overheard by her rebellious teenage daughter forces Ginger to reveal a long-held family secret, the Tangles' carefully constructed web of lies begins to unravel. Upon the death of Glory, the family's colorful matriarch, and the return of long-estranged Callie, Ginger resolves to return to Martha's Vineyard and piece together what really happened on that calamitous day when a shadow fell over four sun-kissed siblings playing at the shore. Along with Ginger's newfound understanding come the keys to reconciliation: with her mother, with her sisters, and with her daughter. At turns heartbreaking, humorous, and hopeful, Sisters One, Two, Three explores not only the consequences of secrets - even secrets kept out of love - but also the courage it takes to speak the truth, to forgive, and to let go. Members Reviews: Hard to follow. Unfortunately this book was hard to follow. I could not tell when it was a different character or when it changed from one time frame to another. Ugh Depressing story, miserable characters. I couldn't make it past chapter 10. I kept waiting for something remotely climactic to happen, and page a after page just downtrodden characters. I read plenty of women's fiction. Rarely do I quit a book. A Little Annoying I pretty much was annoyed and disliked every character in the book. The thing is I don't have to like the characters to like the book I just have to like the characters story. It's like your waiting for someone to do something in any of the different circumstance but it never really happens. I guess I wanted more character development, a little more drama. It's almost like the writer wrote a complete book and than cut out parts because she didn't want it to seem predictable or something. I guess I wanted the book to come full circle but it fell dead for me. Boring! Could not finish it. I read some of the reviews and it sounded interesting. I listened to the first 5 hours and gave up. Boring What did you like best about Sisters One, Two, Three? What did you like least? The ending. Because it was over and I could go back to reading something interesting. What was most disappointing about Nancy Stars story? Inane story about a family with 3 daughters. All of the characters were unlikable and I spent the entire book waiting for SOMETHING to happen. What does Cassandra Campbell bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Her narration was the only decent thing about this book. Do you think Sisters One, Two, Three needs a follow-up book? Why or why not? NO! PLEASE DON'T! Any additional comments? I really wish I could get those wasted hours of my life back.

Clara Lawson is torn from her life in an instant. Without warning, her home is invaded by armed men, and she finds herself separated from her beloved husband and daughters.

We see her growing up, raised with her sisters by the stern Mama and Papa G, becoming a poised and educated young woman, falling desperately in love with the forbidden son of her adoptive parents. We see her now, sequestered in an institution, questioned by men and women who call her a different name - Diana - and who accuse her husband of unspeakable crimes. As recollections of her past collide with new revelations, Clara must question everything she thought she knew to come to terms with the truth of her history and to summon the strength to navigate her future. Critic Reviews: "[A] thoughtful look at victims and perpetrators and the difficulties that arise for someone who is both at once.... [ The Girl Before] moves at the pace of a mystery, but the novel is strongest when it allows Clara to unpack her past and consider who she will be going forward. A moving story of recovery and responsibility." ( Kirkus Reviews) "I couldn't put it down. The novel is compelling, perplexing, and ultimately uplifting! The unusual structure is a perfect match for the magnetic voice of the central character. I predict this daring debut will make Rena Olsen 'the girl ahead' among psychological suspense authors." (Karen Harper, New York Times best-selling author of Upon a Winter's Night) "A disturbing story, haunting and important." (Alexandra Burt, author of Remember Mia) Members Reviews: MUST READ I am not one to write full reviews, but after listening to The Girl Before I knew I had no other choice. This book is amazing. Rena Olsen's writing allowed the book to run smoothly. I did not read the full synopsis prior to selecting the book and I'm glad I didn't. I was completely shocked and was able to take in the book for what it is. Amazing! This is Rena Olsen's debut novel and I am counting down the days for her next one! This book contains sensitive material that is very emotional and will leave an impact on you. Thanks to Brittany Pressley's voice this book was perfect. I cannot wait to listen/ read it again (I purchased the hard copy as well)! Decent This is a great story, well written and the pacing is spot on. The subject matter is difficult, but it's handled thoughtfully and with compassionate understanding. However, I wish some of the character development would have been more thorough. Many of the characters were presented in a one- dimensional way that just doesn't appeal to me. Additionally, there are some pretty giant plot holes that the reader has to overlook along the way. It's definitely entertaining and kept my attention throughout, but it certainly doesn't fall into the "awesome" category for me. The narration is pretty well done, but she's right in the verge of some whiny overacting. Could not stop listening A weird listening experience.

Lydia Smith lives her life hiding in plain sight. A clerk at the Bright Ideas bookstore, she keeps a meticulously crafted existence among her beloved books, her eccentric colleagues, and the BookFrogs - the lost and lonely regulars who spend every day marauding the store's overwhelmed shelves. But when Joey McGinty, a young, beguiling BookFrog, kills himself in the bookstore's back room, Lydia's life comes unglued. Always Joey's favorite bookseller, Lydia has been bequeathed his meager worldly possessions. Trinkets and books - the detritus of a lonely, uncared for man. But when Lydia flips through his books, she finds them defaced in ways both disturbing and inexplicable. They reveal the psyche of a young man on the verge of an emotional reckoning. And they seem to contain a hidden message. What did Joey know? And what does it have to do with Lydia? As Lydia untangles the mystery of Joey's suicide, she unearths a long-buried memory from her own violent childhood. Details from that one bloody night begin to circle back. Her distant father returns to the fold along with an obsessive local cop and the Hammerman, a murderer who came into Lydia's life long ago and, as she soon discovers, never completely left. Bedazzling, addictive, and wildly clever, Midnight at the Bright Ideas Bookstore is a heart-pounding mystery that perfectly captures the intellect and eccentricity of the bookstore milieu and will keep you guessing until the very end. Members Reviews: Here's a bright idea.... While the story was a solid 4--lots of twists and turns, the narrator chose to have all of the male characters speak slowly and, as another reviewer said, robotically. I tried speeding up the narration but it made the bulk of the story (main character and exposition) too fast. I almost stopped listening when a third male character was introduced and he too spoke as if Valium were his main food source. If you haven't bought the audible version you may want to consider reading it on your favorite electronic device. I wish I had. Keeps you guessing This book had many twists and mysterious subplots which kept me interested, entertained and thinking. I'm glad it wasn't simple and easy to figure out because so many stories are. I really enjoyed the book and my only complaint was the narration. The narrator trying to do men's voices was a bit painful. Most of the time she spoke so slowly as the male characters that they come off sounding mentally challenged. I just wish they would hire a man and woman together to do narration. Boy Does A Good Reader Make A Big Difference This, I think, may be a pretty good book to read -- I can't really be sure. BUT DO NOT BUY IT FROM AUDIBLE OR AS A BOOK ON TAPE. Yeah, I hate all caps, also. But, man, trust me on this -- the person who read this book must have had an "in" with the author or someone at Audible, because she is awful. I mean, she may be a great person, a wonderful human being, with tremendous qualities -- she may even be a very good actress. But she cannot, for the life of her, pull off anything approaching the voice of an actual human male character. Which ruins this book. Ruins it.

Fourteen dead. The next victim could be you. The first bullet punches through the windshield of an SUV. A head shot. The driver's death is instantaneous. And it's only the beginning. A sniper along I-20 kills eight and causes a 36 car pileup. Brutal. Efficient. The next morning, the same individual stalks through a grocery store parking lot with a handgun. He takes out six innocent shoppers along with the store's front window before fleeing without a trace. By the time Special Agent Violet Darger arrives in Atlanta, the city teeters toward panic. The vacant streets and restaurants paint an eerie picture. No one dares to venture out. A killer walks among them. A shadow. And the public cowers just the way he wants them to. Once more Agent Darger must identify with a murderer, must stare into the darkness to anticipate his next move. Putting herself in his head may be the only way to stop him. The longer she takes, the higher the death toll. He will kill again and again. But what hatred drives a man to such desperate, violent acts? And what price must one pay to invite that chaos inside themselves? A page-turner packed with heart-stopping suspense. Fans of John Sandford, Karin Slaughter, Gillian Flynn, and Lisa Gardner should check out the Violet Darger series. The books in the series can be read in any order, so grab Killing Season and get started today. Members Reviews: Fabulous new series!! Killing Season â Vargas & McBain Thereâs nothing I like better than a good mystery/police procedural and these two deliver in spades. I discovered these writers accidently on one of the discounted e-books websites, and I can say that I am now a big fan and will continue to follow this series as the stories are published. The main character in these books is Violet Darger, fledgling profiler for the FBI. In this book, Violet is called to consult on two separate shooting sprees that have left multiple victims dead, a city on the verge of panic, and no way of guessing what the shooters next target will be. Violets job is to profile the perpetrator, and get into his head to find a way to stop him. But how do you stop a killer you canât see, and who leaves no evidence? The twists and turns, and gritty reality throughout this book had me turning pages through the night. Un-put-downable! I cannot wait for this series to grow! If you love Sandford, Slaughter, Kava, Stelljes and Deaver, youâll LOVE Vargas & McBain!! Another great Darger mystery I really enjoy this dynamic duo of Vargas and McBain. Their thrillers are taut and keep you engaged throughout. Killing Season was no exception. The ending to this one requires a fair bit of suspension of disbelief, but also sets up what I suspect will be one hell of a third (fourth if you count the short) test of wits and wills. Looking forward to the next release! Good fun, well written read. Have been reading the Darger books and they all seem to get better and better. Enjoyable and well written. Looking forward to the next book. They've done it again. Great book, gripping, and kept me wondering what the hell was going to happen next. I love Darger and Loshak. They make a great team and the dynamics of their relationship, the banter and the back and forth, is fun to read.

That's her spin on it. The reality is she's divorced, jobless, and moving back to her family home in Iowa to keep an eye on her mother, who's slipping into dementia. Her return stirs up the same unnerving sense of disconnect Hannah has felt since childhood - always the odd girl out, the loner outshone by her two older sisters. Hannah knew the feelings of hurt would come back. But she never expected fear. Because when her mother looks into her eyes and whispers, "You're not my daughter," Hannah is beginning to believe it's not just the rambling of a confused woman. It's the truth. Now Hannah's following the trail of a family mystery to the dark coast of Big Sur, where years ago a lie was born - and buried. As frightened as she is to unearth it, Hannah knows this is the last chance she has before her past - and all its terrible secrets - are lost forever. Members Reviews: She never felt like a member of her family,... ...and at age 45 she has reason to wonder why. She looks like her dad, but blood tests show the woman she has always called mom cannot be her mother. Hannah Smith's year 2017 search for her true identity takes her from Iowa to California to find the truth of what happened in the early 1970's. This novel is an excellent psychological mystery. Narration is stellar. Imagine being 45 years old and... finding out that the woman you thought was your mother could not in any way shape or form be the woman who gave birth to you! This is what happened to Hannah when she returns to her home town to help care for her mother who is suffering from dementia. While at the nursing home the staff draws blood and Hannah learns that her mother has type AB while she has type O, her mother is not her mother. And her journey begins... The adage "be careful what you ask for" holds it's truest meaning in this story. I really enjoyed this book. Although it's not an edge of the seat kind of thriller, it is a good mystery. The end shocked me, I didn't see it coming. Emily Sutton-Smith did a fantastic job narrating. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. If you found this review helpful please indicate so. Thank You. Great plot with excellent narrator For fans of genealogical mysteries this was a great book. The characters are believable the main character someone I could identify with and the setting one I know well, it was described perfectly. Perhaps I'm bias as I absolutely love Emily Sutton Smiths voice but I thought she did a wonderful job here. She really shines on doing introspection and her soothing voice is both mysterious and yet calming even when she's reading action scenes. Don't pass this great find up! Mixed Emotions, Unrelatable Main Character Is there anything you would change about this book? Hannah, oh Hannah! How I truly tried to wrap my head around the main character, Hannah. She discovers early on in the book, by accident, that her mother hadn't given birth to her and goes on a journey to figure out the mystery. I really hate reviews that give away too much of the story, so I won't. No spoilers here. However, I found the main character to be selfish, immature and ungrateful of all the blessings she did have. Would I have taken the same journey? Undoubtably.

What would you do if you realized that your new husband, a man you adore, is keeping secrets from you - secrets with terrifying consequences? Bryn Harper, an accomplished self-help author, already has plenty to deal with. She's still recovering from a devastating car accident that has left her haunted by recurring, smoke-filled nightmares. Worse still, she can't shake the ominous feeling her dreams contain a warning. In the beginning Bryn's husband, Guy, couldn't have been more supportive. But after moving into a new house together, disturbing incidents occur, and Guy grows evasive, secretive. What the hell is going on? she wonders. Then, a woman hired to cater their dinner party is brutally murdered. As Bryn's world unravels - and yet another woman in town is slain - she must summon her old strength to find answers and protect her own life. Her nightmares may in fact hold the key to unlocking the truth and unmasking the murderer. With unexpected, riveting twists, The Secrets You Keep is an utterly compelling psychological thriller that once again showcases Kate White's extraordinary storytelling talent. Members Reviews: Don't waste your time Very boring and slow. The author threw in WAY too much irrelevant and mundane information and then suddenly at the end the story's antagonist nicely explains how and why they did all the things they did. I would highly recommend you skip this one. Great puzzler. I liked the suspense and the guessing back and forth about who the murder was. The only problem with the book was how her thought process kept guessing at every event that occurred. Other then that I would highly recommend it. The narrator was excellent and the overall mystery was great. I'd recommend it to anyone who loves who done its and thinks they can always guess the ending. I'm good at that but was wrong this time. J. C. Silly, mindless, fun Not worth a credit but surely worth a couple bucks and a free afternoon !! Just do not waste a credit on this one!! Plain Bad. Struggle to finish. I dislike dumb women who are supposed to br intelligent . Narrator was to breathy. Men's voices horrid. Decent mystery What did you like best about this story? I liked that there were many characters in the story so it didn't make it too obvious as to what to look for. Did the narration match the pace of the story? Yes, her narration was good but her accent aggravated me. It was almost that teenage accent where the word "friends" becomes "frunds". Any additional comments? This story followed along the lines of a good Lifetime movie, and I was entertained by it. There were some questions left unanswered though, so if you're the type who noticed every detail in a book, this may bother you. The ending could have been more dramatic too -it felt hurried. The main character's paranoia may be irritating at times, but it does help move the story along.

The Sinner Audiobook by Petra Hammesfahr, John Brownjohn

But why? What could have caused this quiet, lovable young mother to stab a stranger in the throat, again and again, until she was pulled off his body? For the local police it was an open-and-shut case. Cora confessed; there was no shortage of proof or witnesses. But Police Commissioner Rudolf Grovian refused to close the file and began his own maverick investigation. So begins the slow unraveling of Cora's past, a harrowing descent into a woman's private hell. Hailed as Germany's Patricia Highsmith, Petra Hammesfahr has written a dark, spellbinding novel. At the top of the best seller list, The Sinner has been reprinted 16 times and sold over 760,000 copies at home. Translated into 11 languages, this is the first Hammesfahr title published in English. Members Reviews: A FIVE I was sold by the blurb describing the book.... I was not disappointed. Just the perfect blend of excellent writing, plot and character development. Brilliant! At first the story was convoluted. Actually it was convoluted the whole way through with Cora's vacillation between truth, lies, and obstructed memories. But it was also interesting trying to keep up with it all. The story does require concentration. But that's the fun part. The author's ability to spin yarn after yarn interspersed with morsels of truth, is admirable. To think and write like an emotionally compromised woman and still construct a compelling (albeit confusing) story is pure genius. For those who couldn't muster the wherewithal to follow the plot, they certainly forfeited a treat. I loved this book! It was impeccable brain exercise with a reward for the reader. It induced such a range of emotions and feels. All the characters were carefully portrayed... right down to the wise and lovely Mario. This book is a kaleidoscope of conversations, guilt, lies, mental and emotional trauma, abuse, and finally redemption, all tied up with a beautiful bow of humanity. Great performance!! I loved the book! The narrator did a fantastic job. Her ability to convey so much emotion while reading the story was really spectacularly done. You can't help but be drawn in. I couldn't wait to be able to listen to more. Great Story Extremely addictive mystery- very well written with excellent narration. Impossible to put down! Highly recommend! Dark, disturbing, heart-breaking but worth the read I can't say I enjoyed this book because the subject matter is so sad and tragic and disturbing, but it was very well-written and plotted. There are many themes here (religion, nature vs nurture, guilt, etc) and I am still trying to understand exactly what the author was trying to say. I think the main point is that people can let guilt consume them and steal all the joy from their lives and turn them into maniacal people who hurt and abuse those they love the most. Guilt can also cause your mind to obfuscate the truth of an event and twist it so that you lie to even yourself about what really happened, forcing you to live out a penance for you know not what. Cora -- the ultimate unreliable narrator -- lived in that self-inflicted purgatory for 5 years until one seemingly innocuous trigger caused an event that brought everything crashing down and forced her to see the reality of what she had been hiding from herself. An event with which she can never come to terms.

And when six murdered women are discovered in other people's graves, the hunt for a sadistic serial killer begins before he can claim a seventh victim. Agent Cam Prescott of Iowa's Division of Criminal Investigation is leading the search alongside forensic psychologist Sophia Channing, who knows the minds of psychopaths inside and out. And after a brief but passionate affair, she knows Cam almost as well. What she doesn't know is that her high-profile involvement in the case has caught the twisted predator's eye - and sparked his fury. When Sophia suddenly vanishes, Cam and his team shift into overdrive to keep horrific history from repeating itself. But for Sophia, being trapped in the same isolated lair where so much innocent blood has been spilled may get her inside her vicious captor's head - and may offer her the only chance she has to escape an agonizing and lethal fate. Members Reviews: 5 star book and 10 star narration.. I loved every character in this book! Because of the narrator! The killer was just sick enough, making him so easy to hate. One thing I didnt understand, or like, was how often Cam and Sophia were in bed together, every chapter or two, when in actuality they had broken up months ago. Why did we keep jumping into the past? I didnt really get that. It really didnt hurt the story but it did seem extremely unnecessary. Oh, I did love, love, love Cam and Sophia. They tried so hard to be business-like but couldnt keep their minds focused all the time. You could tell they had fallen in love during the weeks they were together but neither of them thought it would work so they went their separate ways. Although, it was actually Sophia that called it quits. Their chemistry was so great, throughout the story. And there were some exciting bedroom scenes, too. There was swearing and the F-bomb was released 27 times. The mystery and murder and mayhem this guy caused was a thrilling and exciting storyline. Ive never read this author before but shes awesome. Even though this was a CLIFFHANGER that I wasnt aware of, because I despise cliffhangers, Ive already got the other 2 books in the series and I cant wait to get started on them. As to the narrator: When I can just listen to a book without saying to myself geez, this narrator sucks, then thats a good narrator. And when she reads with such terrific emotions, then its really good. And when everyone has their own voice, then its just excellent. When the bad guy had thoughts or was talking to himself Kate Zane was just awesome. He sounded like a madman was supposed to, and when he talked to Sophie it was just so horrible and thrilling all at once. I enjoyed every second of this book, thanks to the narrator. When narration can make me buy 2 more books of a cliffhanger series that really says a lot about the author. A very gripping thriller Scary, creepy and interesting. I truly enjoyed the story and would recommend it to anyone seeking a thriller. A manual on how to be a misogynist This book is very misogynistic and has two men who practice this behaviour. One is a cop and the other is a serial killer. The so called heroine aides and abets all of this. The text has many cliches - peppered with banal sexual banter between the "good guy" and the "bad guy".

But some scars never fade, and surviving was just the beginning... When Claire sees a car full of children careen into a river, she rushes to the rescue. But the driver, a mother named Leah Holloway, prefers to drown. For Claire and her ex, Detective Connor Parks, it doesn't add up. What would motivate a woman with a beautiful family and a successful career to resort to such unspeakable extremes? What Connor finds out confirms Claire's suspicions of something dreadful behind Holloway's picture-perfect facade: a link between the terrified mother and a serial strangler targeting Sacramento soccer moms. As Claire and Connor are drawn back together, their investigation leads them to unearth everything Holloway was hiding. What they find could be the only way to stop a killer from striking again. Members Reviews: A true suspense mystery I thought this book was very complete in the sense that I felt satisfied with the ending. I didnt realize until maybe a quarter into the story that there is a book before this one from a few years ago that links the two. Had I known, I wouldve listened to it first - despite the fact that this book works as a stand alone, because this it is very heavy with references to the earlier book. I wouldve definitely appreciated more of the story with that background info. However, this story was excellently paced and the characters were well developed - not fantastic, but decent and consistent. It is also interesting because there really arent any actual twists and turns but the events are still very engaging. What I mean by this (I hope this info doesnt spoil it for some) is that the direction the plot leads up to and hints at, doesnt deviate. It does recover somewhat by the addition of unusual circumstances but there is no real surprise - the surprise is just all the detail that is revealed. I kept hoping for certain outcomes for some twists but there really wasnt any. But like I said, the author makes up for this in other ways. Overall, it is very well written and was for sure worth the credit. New Lisa Regan Fan!!! The 2nd Claire Fletcher story is better than the first. What is next for Claire and Connor.

Fortunately, her own quick thinking - and Division of Criminal Investigation agent Cam Prescott's efforts - rescued her from a horrifying fate. Together, Sophia and Cam jailed the sadistic predator and closed the case on his reign of terror. But when teenagers make a gruesome discovery in the Iowa woods, Sophia and Cam realize they've only scratched the surface of an evil that runs even deeper and deadlier than one madman's twisted desires. And they don't come more twisted than the killer known as the Zombie Lover: Vance's mystery accomplice, who's still at large and stacking up bodies. With the law snapping at his heels and private demons screaming in his head, the Zombie Lover is hell-bent on carrying out a desperate, double-edged mission. He's determined to terminate Sophia then target medical examiner Lucy Benally, who he's vowed to make his own...dead or alive. Members Reviews: Awesome read and Awesome narration.. Ok, the bad guy in Chasing Evil was truly a sexual deviant BUT Sonny (his name is mentioned right off the bat so telling you his name is not a spoiler), our bad guy in this book, was totally sickening since he was a necrophiliac. OMG! That is so disgusting. I guess you could call it a plus that the body had been embalmed before he got busy with it. Again, Im so glad the author doesnt describe what he and the corpse are doing. Ewww. Again, during this book Cam and Sophie are fighting there attraction but since Sophie came so close to having a horrible ending in the last book shes not fighting her feelings so much in this book. When she finally told Cam about her feelings I was so glad. Oh, she didnt tell him she loved him but it was close enough, for now. Id also like to compliment this author on her sex scene. It did go on for pages and pages BUT it was sweet and so romantic WITHOUT all the stupid things that so many other authors have lovers saying to each other, you know, all that crap you roll your eyes at and say, who talks like that? Cam and Sophie are attracted to each other but there wasnt an ounce of sexual tension in this book. There was swearing and the F-bomb was used 26 times. I do like Gavin and Lucy and it did become exciting when Gavin was shot and Lucy was taken by Sonny. As to the narration: I just realized why I enjoyed this narrator. She doesnt read with sometimes emotions. She reads every word, every sentence, every paragraph with emotions. Thats why I enjoyed every word of the last book, Chasing Evil, as well as this one. Whether it Cams smooth sexy voice or Sophies soft, calming and cultured tone or the killers evil, cunning, creepy, whiny, laughing, well you get what I mean, Kate Zane just does it all through the whole book.

Wes Shaws different than his siblings - darker, awkward, the perpetual neer-do-well. Mary Shaws the doting mother, showering her children with gifts from the heart and the pocketbook. The Shaws have survived divorce and death, but something sinister is in their midst. The truth threatens to tear them apart. The lies threaten to tear them apart. Which side will each choose? Adult language and explicit content. Members Reviews: Throughly enjoyed this book! Great job again Mr. Williams! It's a peek inside the life a sociopath. This book took me on an emotional roller coaster ride! I really like books that pull you into the characters. I felt real sympathy for Wes, one of the main characters of the book. His journey for truth was exciting, heartbreaking, and enlightening. The author writes true to real life situations and isn't afraid to offend. I appreciate that in a writer, because life is sometimes offensive. I like it to be told how it is. The narrators are top notch as well! Another great book Phil! Good basis but very disappointing The story had a good start and the characters were solid (although the narrator did horrendous with different character voices) but even though there was quite a few dramatic instances in the characters' lives nothing ever really 'happened'. There was absolutely no climax. There could have been at several points. Just felt like a dramatic daily life. And there was no closure for one of the main characters. Not everything needs to be spelled out but come on Wesley just kind of disappeared without any finality. No consciencen Loved this author, loved this book. Helped me understand a socialpath, in my life. Highly recomended. WOW If you are looking for a great book with a jaw dropping reaction, then this is it. Mary is a charmer that's all I'm saying. Don't hesitate you won't regret it. Author - Narrator - Story Line Beautiful The book was the correct length, no irrelevant descriptions or over the top characters to take away from the story. This book, for me, was perfect. I listened to the book in two days - it took two days because I reluctantly fell asleep. I'd never heard of this author before but I hope Phil Williams wrote other books because I'd absolutely love to listen to more.

Critic Reviews: "My eyes were racing down the pages... had me guessing right up to the very end and I had tears in my eyes as I relived Charlie's last moments... exceptional... It's an addictive page-turner that begs time and again for just one more chapter until the whole book has been devoured and thoroughly enjoyed." ( The Book Magnet) "Wow! What an amazing debut novel! Full of intense twists! Fantastic book to start off summer reading! Highly recommend." ( Loud and Proud Book Junkie ) Members Reviews: Original! Although a bit hard to follow at times, this book is highly original with lots of twists and turns that kept me guessing to the end. I don't want to give anything away so I will just say that what I liked about this story outweighed what I didnt, and I've never heard anything quite like it. The Heart is stronger then Life This novel was exceptionally written by Louise Jensen and wonderfully narrated by Jasmine Blackborow. The Characters all fit their plots and the story line was different for a change. The Gift will surprise you and keep you on the edge of your chair, wondering if what you are reading is a dream or real life. I totally enjoyed this must read or listen to audiobook. The Writer made a complete magical mystery and thriller out of something that happens often in our world today. I don't want to ruin it ....so listen to it yourself, a for sure likeable audible edition. Author, Blogger, Narrator DeAnn DeVille Cellular memory is fascinating! What made the experience of listening to The Gift the most enjoyable? I always enjoy books about organ donation & how the receivers of those organs go on to progress with their lives and how the experience directly affects their lives. This story was unique in that it brought on the topic of cellular memory. How absolutely fascinating! I am now very inclined to do some research on the topic, just to learn more and see how many other stories similar to this one are out there. Would you recommend The Gift to your friends? Why or why not? It wasn't a particular "stand out" for me, but if I knew any of my friends were extremely interested in organ donation or cellular memory then I absolutely would recommend it. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Not particularly because it was quite long, but I did want to finish it quickly. Pass this one by This book wasnt for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more? Can't think of any What was most disappointing about Louise Jensens story? One of the best parts of the story, the Medium, was only a few sentences.

Title: Dark Saturday Subtitle: A Novel Author: Nicci French Narrator: Beth Chalmers Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 58 mins Language: English Release date: 07-11-17 Publisher: HarperAudio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 323 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Psychological Publisher's Summary: Louise Penny says Nicci French's books are "fabulous". Joseph Finder says they're "in the rich vein of Kate Atkinson". And Tami Hoag calls them "truly unique". Enter the world of Nicci French with Dark Saturday, an electrifying, sophisticated psychological thriller about past crimes and present dangers, featuring an unforgettable protagonist.... A decade ago 18-year-old Hannah Docherty was arrested for the shocking murder of her family. It was an open-and-shut case, and Hannah has been incarcerated in a secure psychiatric hospital ever since. When psychotherapist Frieda Klein is asked to meet Hannah and give her assessment, she reluctantly agrees. But what she finds horrifies her. Hannah has become a tragic figure, old before her time. And Frieda is haunted by the idea that Hannah might be as much of a victim as her family - that she might, in fact, be innocent. As Hannah's case takes hold of her, Frieda begins to realize that she's up against someone who will go to any lengths to keep the truth from surfacing - even kill again. Utterly compelling and enthralling, Dark Saturday speeds listeners down a twisting trail of secrets, suspense, and murder. Members Reviews: It was a lot of work to listen to Honesty I didn't enjoy it. Too many characters, couldn't remember who was who and the ending was horrible. Warning Cliffhanger Ahead Another fantastic book in this series. Love the characters and the narration is perfect. However, now I have to wait for the next book for resolution of a significant story line! Oh well, it is worth the wait! I love Frieda Klein Freida Kleins' character is unique. She is strong, intelligent, persistent and compassionate. Despite cherishing her time alone, she has a wonderful tight circle of quirky friends. The story line is sharp and evolves at a good pace.The reader is excellent. I love this series and can't wait for the next one.My favourite read this year. Nicci French returns; gloriously imaginative. Only problem with this series is that now I have to wait for the next installment. If you are a French fan, you will be happy to find this novel holds up the storyline well (if you are not a Nicci French fan then what have you been waiging for?). Ms. French does an awesome job giving the reader enough background (just enough so that it is not tiresome to fans that have dead each book of the series in order) so that you can. jump in the pool from any location (pick up any book in the series) and you won't. break stride. Kudos to this marvelous author & talented narrator; as it is easy to tell I am delighted by both! Dark Saturday I couldn't wait for this book to be released and it lived up to my expectations. I listened to it in one afternoon and evening. I think this is the best book in this series. I have to admit the killer was a surprise but I was not surprised at the fate of poor Hannah.
