Title: The Killing Edge Author: Heather Graham Narrator: Julia Whelan Format: Abridged Length: 4 hrs and 56 mins Language: English Release date: 09-17-10 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 15 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: Chloe Marin was lucky. She was just a teenager when a party at a Florida beachside mansion turned into a savage killing spree and she was one of the few to survive. Bloody handwriting on the walls pointed to a cult whose rituals included human sacrifice. Chloe's sketch of one of the killers linked two dead cult members found in the Everglades to the massacre, closing the case as far as the cops are concerned. Ten years later, Chloe's works as a psychologist specializing in art therapy to help traumatized victims, and on the side she finds release in her passion for the martial arts. Police who hire her as a consultant know she's a literal kick-ass advocate for victims who can't always speak for themselves. The current disappearance of a young swimsuit model ranks low on the cops' priority list. Everyone assumes the girl has run off for some fun in the sun, instead of getting ready for a photo shoot. Everyone but Chloe, who suspects a killer is using the modeling agency to stalk his prey. When the ghost of the model appears, asking Chloe for help, she knows that she has to do everything she can. So does Luke Cane, a British ex-cop-turned-PI investigating the disappearance of the model on behalf of her father. Chloe and Luke have trouble trusting each other but they can't help their strong attraction for each other. Luckily, they agree on the important things: someone needs to find those missing girls, and if a few laws have to get bent so lives can be saved, too bad. When Chloe arrives late for an appointment at the modeling agency, she discovers a gruesome mass murder eerily similar to the one she witnessed a decade ago - and can't help thinking that if she hadn't run late she would have been there when the killer arrived. Ten years ago, she hadn't been convinced the police had identified the real killers and now she's sure of it. The same evil mind is behind the current murders, and she's afraid she's the target.... Members Reviews: another Heather Graham book This book was good, for the most part. I really wish the female protagonists in Heather's books weren't all the same. The female protagonist in this book is kind of basic in terms of appearance and personality. The pacing in this book is pretty good. Listeners beware of lengthy exposition at the end of the book. first time The first book read from this author, enthalling plot which I found exciting to the end. Have downloaded many more from Graham with high expectations.

Eragon may not escape with even his life . Members Reviews: awesome book. clear audible books. will definitel edhv gv 3xc excellent awesome thanks for the use of the this email and destroy OK Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not? the narrator was horrible, accents terrible, and overall poor performance. Should never use an american accent for the audio book, it makes it feel cheap. Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How? plot was OK The legend continues I reviewed Eragon back in 2006 as Sanlan37 and looked forward to the next part of the story. A friend of mine had the Gerald Doyle version on cd but I prefer the narration of Kerry Shale after getting used to his character voices in Eragon so I downloaded the audio book from here instead. I was not dissapointed . You get a follow on from where the last book ended, and the story is progressed in such a way that it's possible to see a third book on the horizon without compromising the end of this story. A talented new writer without a doubt. Terrible storytelling Awful version of the original book. Whole chapters missing, various parts omitted throughout the audiobook from the paperback which I can only fathom to make the audio cheaper to produce, utterly disappointed with the telling and characters voices not congruent throughout the book. still an enjoyable story I have read all the books in hard back, the audio books are as enjoyable.

Members Reviews: Fullerton never disappoints you!!!! Every novel written by Alexander Fullerton is a joy to read! Four Stars The author has obviously been there and done that. More of a documentary than a novel World war II submarines could stay under water for a limited amount of time. When in enemy waters, they submerged most of the day and surfaced at night to recharge their batteries. This novel is set in the waters of occupied Norway during the arctic summer when there is no night !! As a consequence, the protagonists are in constant danger of detection. The events are fairly predictable, but there are many details regarding life aboard the submarine that make this book worth reading.

Collision Audiobook by Jeff Abbott

Title: Collision Author: Jeff Abbott Narrator: Phil Gigante Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 41 mins Language: English Release date: 07-17-08 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 79 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: Unsure who to trust and who may just be trying to draw them into the open, the unlikely partners have no choice but to work together. But with everything at stake, Ben has no idea that Pilgrim is harboring some shocking secrets of his own - secrets that will soon force Ben to confront just how blurred the line has become between best friends and bitter enemies. Already an international sensation, with his books translated into 15 languages - in the UK alone, Panic has more than 400,000 copies in print - Jeff Abbott is a master of the action-packed thriller. Now, with Collision, he delivers a meaty, twisty, white-knuckle ride designed to propel him onto the bestseller lists in his home country. Critic Reviews: "[A] powerhouse tale of good bad guys, bad good guys, and every shade in between. Jeff Abbott delivers a frenzy of action in this race-against-the-clock thriller." (Lisa Gardner) "Electric with action and lightning-paced, I literally could not put it down. Don't miss it." (Harlan Coben) "Relentless, smart, and heartbreaking, Collision is the thriller to read this year." (Joseph Finder) Members Reviews: Action Without Adventure Maybe this was a first novel? Nope, this is what Abbott does all the time I guess. Anorexic characterization that's much fatter than the plot. If you believe any of this tale, hey I've got a pair of bridges that are totally cheap lemme know, K? It reminded me of the early summer blockbuster movies Back in the 70s The ones that were all shoot-em-up car chases. Fine for the times, but un-viewable today. This story wouldn't get green-lighted for cable TV. I stopped listening three times, but finally,with nothing else on my iPod and a long gym workout to fill it got finished with an ending that was unexpected as a baby's birth gender after a first trimester ultrasound. Maybe this is aimed at prepubescent reading-challenged males? Actually I'm thinking that the interminable action scenes may have been assignments to the author in a creative writing class that he sort ran back to back without bothering to imagine a story for glue? Phil Gigante made a buck here, probably deserved, not so much for his performance which is OK, but for his tenacity in reading "Collision". a worthwhile purchase A little confusing during first half hour and a little too drawn out last hour but all in all the story developed well and the characters were interesting. Fast paced and NOT boring. The narrator was excellent and deserves 5 stars. He really made the book for me. Fast pace What did you love best about Collision? It wqas a fast moving plot that made it hard to put the book down. Some books with an esiponage plot, the characters are difficult to recognize, but the reader and the narration keeps one focused. What does Phil Gigante bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? godd dialogue with voice can to reconize the characters. Excellent Thoroughly enjoyable thriller. First class narration. Recommended. Exciting--Obvious--Frustrating--Meh! I picked up this book because of the narrator. I would like to say, there were some obvious problems with the hero who constantly made the dumbest mistakes. But he did have a worthwhile growth. I did not like the final confrontation between the heroes, and it was obvious, once you know the characters, who killed the wife.

Case of Lies Audiobook by Perri O'Shaughnessy

Title: Case of Lies Subtitle: Nina Reilly #11 Author: Perri O'Shaughnessy Narrator: Laural Merlington Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 59 mins Language: English Release date: 10-17-08 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 33 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: Two of the witnesses have fled to a village not far from the home of Bob's father, Kurt Scott, in Germany. As Nina tries to unravel the mystery of one violent Tahoe night, a harrowing journey begins - one that takes her from the dark underworld of Tahoe's casinos to the halls of a prestigious East Coast university to Europe and an emotional reunion with Kurt. As old feelings are rekindled, Nina's case turns violent. Everyone has something to hide - the brilliant but unstable mathematics student who has made an astonishing discovery, the owner of a motel where the shooting took place, and the shooter, who has turned the whole case into a gigantic lie. Critic Reviews: Catch all of our titles. Members Reviews: Twisted Facts and Questionable Motives... A robbery, the murder of a pregnant schoolteacher, followed by the disappearance of three witnesses - all take place at a Lake Tahoe motel and lead to a wrongful death suit. Time is running out on the case and there has been no significant progress; the previous attorney wants out. Nina Reilly takes over the case of the bereaved spouse, at the personal request of the victim's niece. Her first action is to locate the witnesses - three brilliant math students - and she tracks two of them to Boston. When she finds the third in an island near Seattle, she has a plan. But then more people start turning up dead, and all indications are that the man who robbed the students at the motel is responsible. As more facts surface, it becomes clear that money alone was not the motive - one of the students has a secret notebook in which he has recorded his work on a significant mathematical proof, and coincidentally, a large corporation in Seattle wants the notebook. But the more Nina Reilly investigates, the more twisted become the facts. Soon, nothing is as it seems. And in a final confrontation between the alleged killer and her client, a whole new array of facts unfold. Only one man will still be standing in the end, and what she learns after it is over will blow Nina Reilly's mind. Case of Lies (Nina Reilly)is exciting, and suspenseful storytelling that highlights still another Nina Reilly escapade. I deducted one star after some of the plot points failed to add up to a plausible conclusion. Overall, however, I found the character Nina Reilly as engaging as usual. Laurel-Rain Snow Author of:Web of Tyranny, etc. Five Stars love the O'Shaunghnessy's Part of the book was 5 stars, but other parts only 3 stars There are various plot/story lines in this book. Some were very interesting, others only so-so. There was a lot of information about very high level math involving prime numbers. I admit that I skipped over some of the technical details, but I also did learn a few things. Most of the story kept my interest, but there was a big let down in the plot. Not to give anything away, but one person's 'reason' for committing a particular crime was just ludicrous. It made no sense at all and really detracted from the overall story. If the O'Shaughnessys could have made the motive more understandable and realistic, it would have helped the story in general. I am glad that Nina returned to Tahoe, but she needs to stay put for a while. There has been too much moving, changing of partners and jobs, etc.

Hell's Gate Audiobook by Stephen Frey

Title: Hell's Gate Author: Stephen Frey Narrator: Erik Steele Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 35 mins Language: English Release date: 08-18-09 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 33 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: As Hunter follows his instincts, Montana becomes a crucible where good and evil collide -- and where one man, running from his past, takes on the burden of exposing the guilty while saving himself and those he cares about most from the greatest danger they have ever faced. Members Reviews: Enjoyed...but I listen to audio books constantly in the car and have always enjoyed Stephen Frey's work. Hell's Gate was a good listen. I feel the author spent a great deal of time in parts 1 & 2 developing and laying out the story but to wrap it up so quick in part 3 was disappointing. I still really enjoyed Hell's Gate but so much occurs so quickly in part 3 I would have liked to have more detail. Perhaps I'm just upset the book is over so listen for yourself. The story moves along with good descriptions What did you like best about this story? I grew up in Montana and liked the descriptions, although Frey was a bit loose with things like where Hell's Gate actually is: Missoula. The fire danger and the hyperbole of the stereotypic Montana personality were fun. Any additional comments? I've enjoyed several other books from Stephen Frey and expect the same people who liked The Chairman series would also like this. His descriptions of characters has a familiar feel. An early editing blunder was a little distracting using guilty/not guilty (trying to avoid a small spoiler) rather than plaintiff/defendant in a civil case.

Title: The Mark of Halam Subtitle: A Jeff Bradley Thriller, Book 2 Author: Thomas Ryan Narrator: Simon Mattacks Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 57 mins Language: English Release date: 06-06-17 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: USS Ulysses: State-of-the-art nuclear submarine. Deterrent. Target. When an Olympic medalist is the subject of an attempted assassination, former SAS trooper Jeff Bradley knows his past is once again casting a shadow over his new life. A note left by the assassin confirms his suspicions: Bradley made an enemy back in Kosovo, and the man is out for revenge. But Jeff knows the killer is not working alone: higher up the ranks sits Avni Leka, a terrorist warlord who will stop at nothing to achieve his bloody goal. And it's not just Bradley who is under threat. A hijacking leads him to sense something bigger is being planned - a plot that, if successful, will end thousands of innocent lives, and could light the touchpaper of global conflict. He can't allow it to happen. But events are spiraling out of control. Bradley knows he must reach the eye of the storm before it tears his world apart. Members Reviews: A Slow Mover! The plot in this story seems to go on forever before anything of consequence occurs. There is a lack of urgency throughout, and protests about a nuclear submarine's visit are hardly the stuff of world crises. The action scenes are good, especially the climax, but I would liked to have seen more. The cover of this book is misleading, in that by picturing a submarine it leads the reader to expect a sub-warfare story. Not so! The submarine puts in a cameo appearance that doesn't add too much to the plot. While not a blockbuster, the book offers a pleasant read, but could use some spicing up. Strong, credible and exciting Thomas Ryan has acquired a reputation as an excellent author of thrillers, and it is a reputation that is well-deserved. This novel is a worthy addition to his increasing list of novels. He draws and develops his characters with depth. The authorâs knowledge and experience of military practices, gleaned from his time in the armed forces and from the input of military veterans he knows, plays a role in forming the background for the tale, but I think credit should also be given to his extensive research of his subject matter. These elements make his story strong, credible and exciting. It is a page-turner with a fast pace and several facets to the storyline, yet it always remains approachable and easy to follow. I was drawn into the action from the start. Jeff Bradley and Brian Cunningham, both ex-Special Forces veterans, battle against time and personal enemies to prevent terrorists causing mayhem in Auckland, New Zealand. It is refreshing to find an adventure thriller set in a country like New Zealand, and since I am in the UK I felt very much at home with the lively atmosphere, the banter and the believable interaction between the main characters and the journalist, Barbara Heywood, and the police officer, Moana Te Kanawa, with whom they have to work or sometimes hold at armâs length. I did find I was drawn to Brian Cunningham rather than Jeff Bradley, as the more flawed personality, but that was my personal choice and the flaws and quirks of all the characters are portrayed in a natural way. On the whole a very satisfying read and more than deserving of a five star rating. Ok, but I wouldn't recommend buying it I expect a good book to have either detailed plot development, or substantial character development.

Title: Late Harvest Havoc [Vengeances tardives en Alsace] Author: Jean-Pierre Alaux, Noël Balen, Sally Pane - translator Narrator: Simon Prebble Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 29 mins Language: English Release date: 04-04-16 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 9 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: Disaster strikes the vineyards in Alsace. Vintners are tense and old grudges surface. The Winemaker Detective's reputation is on the line as he must find the cause before the late harvest starts. Winter is in the air in Alsace and local customs are sowing trouble, piquing the curiosity of the famous winemaker from Bordeaux, Benjamin Cooker. While the wine expert and his assistant Virgile settle into their hotel in the old city of Colmar, distinguished vineyards are attacked. Is it revenge? The plot thickens when estates with no apparent connection to one another suffer the same sabotage just days prior to the late harvest. All of Alsace is in turmoil, plunged in the grip of suspicion that traces its roots back to the darkest hours of the German occupation. As he crosses back and forth into Germany from the Alsace he thought he knew so well, Cooker discovers a land of superstition, rivalry, and jealousy. Between tastings of the celebrated wines, he is drawn into the lives and intrigues of the inhabitants. Critic Reviews: "Will appeal to wine buffs and those who dream of visiting a French countryside that is filled with chateaux and rascally nobility, and where all the women - and most men - are superb chefs." (Publishers Weekly) "Difficult to forget and oddly addictive...deserves a high mark for keeping the answers hidden and the pages turning." (ForeWord Reviews) "A fine vintage with a perfectly twisted plot." (Tele-loisir) Members Reviews: vineyard villany What did you love best about Late Harvest Havoc [Vengeances tardives en Alsace]? This series places the reader/listener at the scene. The narrator is perfect. Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How? The more I listened to the story the more I wanted to know what was next. Which character as performed by Simon Prebble was your favorite? Of course, Benjamin Cooker. But Virgil is a terrific counter to him. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? The final pay-off at the end - the resolution of some key deaths and crimes was very clever. Any additional comments? Very worried about Benjamin Cooker. He seems to have too many fainting spells and cold sweats. He can't keep eating those rich foods and smoking those Cuban cigars forever!

There is nobody in the world who knows that we are here.... A woman arrives in the village of Winsford on Exmoor. She has travelled a long way and chosen her secluded cottage carefully. Maria's sole intention is to outlive her beloved dog, Castor. And to survive the torrent of memories that threaten to overwhelm her. Weeks before, Maria and her husband, Martin, fled Stockholm under a cloud. The couple were bound for Morocco, where Martin planned to write an explosive novel - one that would reveal the truth behind dark events within his commune of writers decades before. But the couple never made it to their destination. As Maria settles in to her lonely new life, walking the wild, desolate moors, it becomes clear that Winsford isn't quite the sanctuary she thought it would be. While the long, dark evenings close in and the weather worsens, strange things begin to happen around her. But what terrible secrets is Maria guarding? And who is trying to find her? A haunting, masterly unravelling of a dreadful crime, in The Living and the Dead in Winsford, Hkan Nesser, the best-selling, award-winning author of the Van Veeteren series, tightens the tension like a noose.... Members Reviews: The most boring book I have ever listened to If this book wasnt for you, who do you think might enjoy it more? Can not imagine as there is a good review for it, which completely surprised me. For me there is absolutely nothing to recommend it and the ending may be different according to the review but I am sorry to say that I could not have cared less having listened to hours of boring triviality, so never got that far. What will your next listen be? Have not decided next but it is not likely to be by the same author How could the performance have been better? I found the voice monotonous and monotone. What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment? Boredom Any additional comments? No, having said all I can go look for an entertaining book Loved this - stylish and clever with an incredible climax This is so beautifully written and narrated. The story unfolds at a perfect pace to keep suspense going. While the odd point is slightly unbelievable, this really is a very small point for hat was an incredibly enjoyable book. A beautifully written thriller Have just finished this book - it is a true page turner and keeps you on tenterhooks till the denouement- as the story unfolds the back story is revealed with wonderful detail. Not to be missed. Very disappointing. Given the synopsis and the excellent reviews for 'The Living and the Dead in Winsford', I was really looking forward to listening to this story, especially as I am a fan of Scandanavian thrillers. Since I live in North Devon, it was nice to hear local place names but do we really need a local weather report for every day of Maria's stay?! The synopsis says that the novel is 'gripping and atmospheric' and clearly, some listeners agree. I just found it tedious and kept checking my iPod to find out how near to the end I was. I usually listen to books at every opportunity but it took me quite a while to get through this one because I was enduring it, rather than enjoying it. You are probably wondering why I didn't give up and return the book.

Amber quickly realizes that a cataclysm of immeasurable proportion has struck London, and she sets off on a quest to reach home and to find out what has happened. She soon discovers, however, that the world may have changed forever, and her journey home soon turns into a fight for her very survival.... Vaporized is for anyone who enjoys a mix of science fiction, adventure, thrills, and horror. Suspend your disbelief for a while, jump into Amber's shoes, and enjoy the ride! Members Reviews: Intriguing Really different and creative. You feel the intrepid despair and loneliness as it escalates with the heroine. She survives calamity after calamity and understandably enters into a panic mode where some of the decisions were not very good and that shows. You root for her though and I felt the decisions at the end of this book were suspect. Hence four stars but I guess you need a physics teacher's mind to reason out some good survival and actions in book 2? Loved it. I enjoyed this very much. You have to forgive the many repetitions, you will really like this. I never would have thought about using water against us. Can't wait for the next book, which I have and will now read. Ruby Highly recommended. As of July, 2015 I have 25 Kindle e-books in my Favorites Collection. Vaporized by Si Rossi is #1. This story was a fascinating surprise that kept me up all night. I get mad at myself when I realize that my mouth is hanging open while reading ... the action picked up pace very quickly and I was totally focused on willing our heroine to get away faster, faster! Spoilers: These aliens come in a couple of different varieties and one kind is scary fast when they come after you. You do not have time to think. As she tries to get out of the city there were a couple of times I was sure she was hamburger. I am keeping this one on all my devices. Highly recommended. Really good story. Really good story...Once I picked it up, I read it to the end.

Also a major motion picture starring Casey Affleck, directed by Michael Winterbottom. Deputy Sheriff Lou Ford is a pillar of the community in his small Texas town, patient and thoughtful. Some people think he's a little slow and boring, but that's the worst they say about him. But then nobody knows about what Lou calls his "sickness". It nearly got him put away when he was younger, but his adopted brother took the rap for that. Now the sickness that has been lying dormant for a while is about to surface again - and the consequences are brutal and devastating. Tense and suspenseful, The Killer Inside Me is a brilliantly sustained noir crime masterpiece. Members Reviews: Brilliant performance If you could sum up The Killer Inside Me in three words, what would they be? Psycho-killer quesque c'est! What did you like best about this story? Truly literary study of psychopathy. Brilliant performance by Tim Flavin, which caught the glib charm of the psychopath and the cold emptiness underneath. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? The death of the Greek boy Any additional comments? I had Chandler and Ellroy as the kings of noir, but Thompson is at least as good Disappointed Just did not find it gripping. No surprises either but I guess it's written thru the eyes of the killer. Thot threre was a lot of potential with the storyline but hugely disappointing .

With their resources and vast troops of lethal thugs, the conglomerate assumed that killing one man would be easy. They were wrong! While Tanner is just one man, he is the last man you want to go to war wit. And when he teams up with another target of the conglomerate, he doubles his chances at surviving. But this is war, and the conglomerate plays to win. Enter Lars Gruber, possibly the greatest assassin in the world - and now he's set his sights on Tanner. It's hit man vs. hit man and only one can survive. Members Reviews: Simple and Fast The story moves quickly in part because of the superficial detail. It is like reading or listening to an abridged version. Or like watching a TV crime drama where everything can happen, characters introduced, crime committed and solved in one quick hour. There is minimal character development but enough to get a feel, very limited descriptions of battles, weapons and plot. This isnt necessarily a bad thing but if you like richness of character, depth of plot and more descriptions of location and action this isnt for you. There is also a silliness or lightness in the story lines with characters like Merle and Earl. At times there involvement almost reminds me of Janet Evanovichs Stephanie Plum series. Only unlike Evanovich's stories there is lots of killing and blood. This is nothing like Tom Woods Victor series or John Milton by Mark Dawson. I only gave it 3 stars because of the simplicity and lack of depth for the genre. It is not a bad book just not a great book. It doesn't leave me running to read or listen to the next book in the series.

Later they told the UN that the weapons were destroyed. But in fact the weapons were secretly stored by a white South African exile group. Now they have been refurbished and sold, but to whom? American intelligence expert Ray Bowman is brought in to find out. With the help of a black, female South African intelligence officer, he races around the world to discover who bought the bombs and what they plan to do with them. Washington fears the bombs are intended for American cities, timed to explode before a presidential election that is just weeks away. What Bowman discovers is that the people who control the bombs intend to do something so devastating it will make nuking a few US cities look like a mild attack. Members Reviews: Richard A Clarke brings his Fact-based writing skills into the world of Fiction, and We, The Readers, Win ! After reading Mr Clarke's first Book, and discovering just how badly the Bush-Cheney cabal had failed to prevent 9/11, by ignoring their most experienced, and knowledgeable NSA Advisor about the dangers of Bin Laden and Al Queda, I was anxious to try some of his fiction. After seeing Mr Clarke on,... was it Dr Maddow's Show ? , anyway, I immediately came to Amazon and purchased Pinnacle Event, and Man, am I glad I did ! I m a constant reader, and a big fan of writers like Lee Child, Daniel Silva, Brad Thor, and others who write about Espionage and Security Services with such insight and knowledge of the World's Intelligence and counter-terrorism forces. Richard A Clarke just moved up into the ranks, and exceeded many of them. Using his experience and knowledge of Our Clandestine services, and infusing that with great writing, and excellent character development, Pinnacle Event kept me up way past my usual late bedtime, and kept me on the edge of my seat for hours. That, Folks, is Entertainment in my Book ! Now, I'm off to buy "Sting of the Drone" ! An exciting way to learn about the dangers of "rouge" nuclear warheads in the world. A great way to learn of the dangers from "loose" nuclear warheads that still exist in the world. The book starts with a "low grade" nuclear explosion spotted in the Indian Ocean, and the subsequent investigation into how that came about. That leads to an international team of intelligence agents trying to untangle dangerous triangle of money, corruption and terrorism to find out how many dirty warheads are still out there "in the market". A great, and educational read. Too much is Non Fiction Clarke has written another compelling thriller, filled with the kind of details that reveal his knowledge of events at a high level. A story I hated to stop reading, even as work intervened. exciting story that's both fun to read and a bit scary Richard Clarke, as usual, presents a believable, exciting story that's both fun to read and a bit scary, given how plausible everything seems. I definitely recommend it for anyone who enjoys geopolitical thrillers. My only complaint with the book is that it never seemed to be copy-edited, with too many mistakes in grammar and punctuation. It gets to be distracting. I hope that someone will spend a little effort on that before the paperback version comes out. Thrills and serious education combined This is one of those thrillers that educates.

Title: The Kill List Author: Frederick Forsyth Narrator: John Chancer Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 14 mins Language: English Release date: 09-26-13 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 41 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: The Kill List: a top-secret catalogue of names held at the highest level of the US government. On it, those men and women who would threaten the world's security. And at the top of it, The Preacher, a radical Islamic cleric whose sermons inspire his followers to kill high-profile Western targets in the name of God. As the bodies begin to pile up in America, Great Britain and across Europe, the message goes out: discover this man's identity, locate him and take him out. Tasked with what seems like an impossible job is an ex-US marine who has risen through the ranks to become one of America's most effective intelligence chiefs. Now known only as The Tracker, he must gather what scant evidence there is, collate it and unmask The Preacher if he is to prevent the next spate of violent deaths. Aided only by a brilliant teenaged hacker, he must throw out the bait and see whether his deadly target can be drawn from his lair... Members Reviews: ALONZO I have read all of Forsyths' books and can't remember having read one that I haven't enjoyed except this one. Where does one start? Plot; Frankly I felt there wasn't one, rather the book miandered all over the place, an over use of synamims interrupted the flow of the book, (why not use descriptive titles) Characters: I thought these were badly drawn, in all, very shallow, to good to be true. Quite obviously I didn't like this book at all, quality not in the same street as The Fist of God, Icon, or The Forth Protocol . Would I buy another Forsyth book? of coarse. I will regard this (book) as an aberation Unlistenable-to Frederick Forsyth used to be a first class thriller writer, up there with Len Deighton, certainly and Jean Le Carre, possibly. This is complete rubbish. First it is quite derivative....for example the hidden terrorist genre was handled well in the recent book I Am A Pilgrim and has been used by Tom Clancy and others. Here there is nothing new to offer, the plot is obvious and derivative and the characters are completely two dimensional and the reader doesent give a damn about any of them. And if that wasn't enough, the reader is terrible, he inserts pauses in the wrong parts of sentences and his foreign accents are a joke. One to avoid. Generic, superficial, uninteresting What would have made The Kill List better? The characters have no personality at all; they are all cookie-cutter stereotypes with no development and virtually no motives for their actions. What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!) I was hoping for some kind of twist to make things interesting - but no. How could the performance have been better? He over-dramatizes, and his accents are god-awful. What character would you cut from The Kill List? There isn't a single interesting or compelling character in the entire book - rather than cutting any, the author needs give us at least one memorable personality. Any additional comments? It's just a long list of event - he did this, then that, then this thing happened, so he did that - no suspense, no drama, no humour, and utterly predictable. Bristling terrorism thriller Forsyth brings us a fast paced and well researched thriller that feels extremely pertinent due to recent events. I got through this in just two sittings, it worked really well as an audiobook and felt very visual, Ive no doubt will be a on the big screen soon.

Havana Lost Audiobook by Libby Fischer Hellmann

Lewis, Diane Piron-Gelman Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 5 mins Language: English Release date: 08-16-13 Publisher: The Red Herrings Press Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 25 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: On the eve of the Cuban Revolution, headstrong 18-year-old Francesca Pacelli flees from her ruthless Mafia-boss father in Havana to the arms of her lover, a rebel fighting with Fidel Castro. Her father, desperate to send her to safety in the US, resorts to torture and blackmail as he searches the island for her. So begins the first part of a spellbinding saga that spans three generations of the same family. Decades later, the family is lured back to Cuba by the promise of untold riches. But pursuing those riches brings danger as well as opportunity, and ultimately, Francesca's family must confront the lethal consequences of their choices. From the troubled streets of Havana to the mean streets of Chicago, Havana Lost reveals the true cost of chasing power instead of love. Havana Lost is award-winning author Libby Fischer Hellmann's 10th novel and third thriller that explores how strife and revolution affect the human spirit. Havana Lost is a testament to Hellmann's gift for authentic historical detail as well as her talent for writing compulsively readable and listenable thrillers. Members Reviews: Historical romance/strong women protagonists-Great My first Libby Fischer Hellmann audiobook-it won't be my last. A fascinating story arc from the late 1950s pre Cuban embargo-historically correct-I went to Cuba on a family vacation in the late 1950s. For a 16 year old California girl, Havana was even more wild than Hollywood. And the surfing was better too. Cuba was a beautiful land with pre revolutionary rumblings that finally frightened all the NorteAmericanos out. Details the lives of 2 strong women who couldn't rely on the men in their lives; they took care of themselves, alone and pregnant..(pre birth control). This book was superior in detailing how some people just don't learn---Frankie,the willful 17 year North American girl, raised in Cuba who was torn from her lovers arms, pregnant with his child and forced to marry a cold older unloving man, remained willful as a senior citizen-in charge of the 'company'. Her daughter in law, Carla,a doctor in cuba was a nobody in America. She had the strength to repeat medical school when circumstances found her in Chicago, pregnant and broke and. finally, the young grand daughter and daughter who got caught up in the intricate manipulations of grand mother..It brought back to mind how controlled women were pre birth control when women got pregnant easily and had no control over their lives. The birth control pill didn't come out until the early 1960s and what a huge difference that made in the lives of women all over the world. I wished this book would have been longer! I think Hellmann could have really gotten deeper into the character development. These were women I liked, for all their flaws and it ended with me wanting to know more about them and what happened when.....(no spoilers here) As it is, it's over 10 hours, but I didn't want it to end. I'd like to see a sequel to the book-there were some cliff-hangers that could be developed nicely (Hint-hint). I listen to this book straight thru..began it at 9PM-fell asleep to it about 1AM... Thank goodness for my iPad sleep setting..I dreamt about Havana, woke up at 6AM and turned it back on again and listened almost all day until it was finished.

Title: No Justice Subtitle: Michael Sykora, Book 1 Author: Darcia Helle Narrator: Eric Medler Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 59 mins Language: English Release date: 01-28-13 Publisher: Darcia Helle Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 11 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: How far would you go to right a wrong? For Michael Sykora, killing started as blind rage. Then it became something he's good at. To most of those who know him, Michael is a software designer, a smart but average guy with a workaholic nature. To a chosen few, Michael is a part-time hit man whose specialty is eliminating hard-core criminals. Michael has managed to keep his two personas separate. Until now. When Nicki, a close friend, gets into trouble, Michael steps in to help. Having lost his fiance to a brutal crime, Michael will do whatever necessary to keep from losing another woman in his life. Members Reviews: Don't know how I missed this one! Any additional comments? This book reminds me somewhat of a cross between the "In the Company of Killers" series by J A Redmirski and the early "Victor the Assassin" by Tom Woods. This book really doesn't give the origins of the protagonist's (Michael Sykora) psych on becoming a killer with a code of ethics. Seems wealthy people pay him lots of money to avenge themselves or the ones they love who have had crimes committed against them (such as rape) and they know the justice system will fall short. In this book a former flame who is also an ex-prostitute calls Michael because her life is being threatened. She's cleaned up her act, gone to college and now helps other women get off the street or out of abusive situations. The whole thing snowballs and it becomes a kill or be killed. I don't have to say who the winner is because there are 2 more books in the series so far. The narrator, Eric Medler did a fantastic job. This was a quick (Too Quick!) enjoyable listen. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! If you found this review helpful please indicate so. Thank You. My third vigilante novel in two weeks Actually, No Justice is very different from the two Robert Bidinatto novels (Hunter and Bad Deeds). It's a lot lighter and sort of fun, and unlike Hunter Michael Sykora sometimes kills for money. But mostly Michael Sykora kills bad guys who need killing whether he's paid or not. Killing criminals is a sideline he started after his fiance was murdered. Sykora is ...audacious! In his kills. I enjoyed No Justice and look forward to listening to the other two books in the series. The audiobook is nicely narrated. I've read other Darcia Helle novels in ebook format in the past and she never disappoints. The first novel by Helle that I read was Hit List. It is memorable! A dreadful novel made tolerable by the narrator We are presented a novel that offers a plot so unbelievably stupid as to offend an intelligent reader. The prose is at the point of being offensive. To me it is amazing the author was able to get this novel published. i did in fact read the entire book, and therefore I will not return it. The best I can do is to help those not to follow in my footsteps by spending a credit much less money on this thing. I will say however that the narrator was excellent. When I am done with this review, I am going to check out his other books. With his skills combined with a decent writer, I might find a gem.

When murders start mounting in a quiet Virginia town, it is up to Culver to find out who is behind an explosive and baffling trail of violence. By the author of the New York Times bestseller Balefire. Members Reviews: Needs to be a movie! Rewritten with the title Digger, I loved this book. It was pretty intense at time and I couldn't put it down! Five Stars Love all Goddard's books. On of my favorite author's. Thank God I finished It This is a not a worthwhile read but I was determined to stick it out. My final thoghts were - I just want this to be over -How could all these people be so stupid? Very jerky plot - too many villians without believeable motives and shallow characters with no development. Seemed like just another attempt to out horror the current horrorers. (Is that really a word?) If this is typical Goddard, this is my first at last attempt at him. Thank heavens I got it a the used book store and didn't pay full price. Deja-vu I loved the story the first time it was published. Mr Goddard must be into the recycle program, as the novel "Digger" appears to have been recycled into "Cheaters". In fact, the first couple of pages are taken exactly word for word from his earlier novel. It will be a most interesting experience to finish reading "Cheaters" to find out how much of the story has been recycled. I great, great thriller with no predictable ending I loved this book. It is one of the few books I have ever read that doesn't give away the end until its time. Henry Culver is a great hero and cop. A MUST READ!!!!

Palace Council Audiobook by Stephen L. Carter

Carter Narrator: Dominic Hoffman Format: Abridged Length: 6 hrs and 33 mins Language: English Release date: 09-02-08 Publisher: Random House Audio Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: In the summer of 1952, 20 prominent men gather at a secret meeting on Martha's Vineyard and devise a plot to manipulate the President of the United States. Soon after, the body of one of these men is found by Eddie Wesley, Harlem's rising literary star. When Eddie's younger sister mysteriously disappears, Eddie and the woman he loves, Aurelia Treene, are pulled into what becomes a 20-year search for the truth. As Eddie and Aurelia uncover layer upon layer of intrigue, their odyssey takes them from the wealthy drawing rooms of New York through the shady corners of radical politics, all the way to the Oval Office. Stephen Carter's novel is as complex as it is suspenseful, and with his unique ability to turn stereotypes inside out, Palace Council is certain to enthrall listeners to the very last moment. Members Reviews: Page turner I give this book 5 stars even though it is not good as some of his others. Still, a page turner. Anti-climax taken to a fine art I loved The Emperor of Ocean Park. A fine literary work with mystery as its theme. I had high hopes that this one would be its equal. It's not. It's a poor mystery that fails as literature for precisely that reason. I noted that the author mentioned his admiration for LeCarre's works, and it would seem he had hoped to succeed in this venture along those same lines. But his grasp of the trade-craft required for the skills supposedly possessed and successfully wielded by the various protagonists is far from making that mark. And perhaps I'm too severe a critic because of actually being in the intelligence business at the time (and at most of the same places) these quasi-fictional events were to have occurred, but at least I know that Le Carre's fiction had the true nature of the craft as its underpinning. Thus those stories rang true on many levels, and this one simply doesn't. And it's not only in the craft, but in the nature of the fictional conspiracy the craft was designed to protect. And in the fatuousness of the goals of the supposedly worldly wise conspirators themselves. But yes, I gave it three stars, if only for the tremendous effort involved here to establish what might be labeled the glory of its promise, making the failure of that promise all the more significant. Hey, there's still something of the profound to be gained from the more resounding of failures. I love Stephen Carter books I love Stephen Carter books. He is a great writer and you learn a lot of history with his books.Once you star he keeps you going until you finish. Still reading this one. Though there are lots of ... Still reading this one. Though there are lots of racial overtones, they are in a context where there was still a lot of problems with this: 1950s and 1960. The story line is intriguing and the book well written, though. It's a 'page turner' in terms of driving you on to find out the answers to the mystery. There are, of course, unfortunate choices made by some of the characters that cause more brokenness in their lives, but that is also the case in the Bible. Not for kids or adults with tender consciences. Should read with discernment. Review of Palace Council I enjoyed this tale of Stephen Carter's just as I enjoyed two of his previous novels. His wanderings are enticing as he weaves a story.

Title: The Stone Monkey Subtitle: A Lincoln Rhyme Novel Author: Jeffery Deaver Narrator: Boyd Gaines Format: Abridged Length: 5 hrs and 15 mins Language: English Release date: 09-05-07 Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 107 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: The awe-inspiring duo returns in The Stone Monkey. Recruited to help the FBI and the Immigration and Naturalization Service perform the nearly impossible, Lincoln and Amelia track down a cargo ship headed for New York City carrying two dozen illegal Chinese immigrants, as well as the notorious human smuggler and killer known as "the Ghost". But when the Ghost's capture goes disastrously wrong, Lincoln and Amelia find themselves in a race against time. They must stop him before he can track down and murder the two surviving families who have escaped from the ship and vanished deep into the labyrinthine world of New York City's Chinatown. Over the next harrowing 48 hours, the Ghost ruthlessly hunts for the families, while Rhyme struggles to find them before they die. Amelia pursues a very different kind of police work: forming a connection with one of the immigrants that may have consequences going to the core of her relationship with her partner and lover, Lincoln Rhyme. The Stone Monkey abounds with Deaver's famous trademarks: wholly unexpected plot twists and breakneck pacing, reminding us once again of why People hailed him as the "master of ticking-bomb suspense" and Publishers Weekly called him the "most clever plotter on the planet". Members Reviews: STONE MONKEY Stone Monkey is one of the best books I have heard in a while. The story is fast paced but through with details. The characters are well defined and the narrator brings each of them to life with different voices. I listened to the whole book at one time because I just couldn't put it down. Another wonderful story. Great story. Suspenseful, sad on the characters suffering. Narrator was wonderful with the changing of voices for the characters. Terrible Audio Quality Good story but it felt disconnected due to being abridged. Audio quality was terrible. I had my speaker turned up to max just to hear it. Not my favorite Lincoln Rhyme Novel What did you like best about The Stone Monkey? What did you like least? Although I normally LOVE Jeffery Deaver, this novel just seemed so-so to me, especially the audio version. Albeit it is abridged, but normally I can follow the abridged versions fairly well, e.g. Coffin Dancer. However with this novel there were parts of it that left me saying, "What just happened? Who is that character?" I will say that I could catch up and I finally figured out what was going on, but then the ending seemed like every other Jeffery Deaver novel, at least in the Lincoln Rhyme series, where there was a twist you probably could have seen coming and bam! They catch the bad guy. So as for his novel, eh, it was by far my least favorite so far. (I am currently on Vanished Man).Now, let me go on to talk about Boyd Gaines reading of the book. From the very first time I pressed 'play' to the very ending of the novel it was hard for me to hear Gaines' performance of the book. He made Sacs sound too much like a simpering female instead of the strong female cop that we all know her to be. Then even worse? His Chinese accent. The first time he started speaking with his faux Chinese accent I was really confused.

Title: The Red Scream Author: Mary Willis Walker Narrator: Anna Fields Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 32 mins Language: English Release date: 07-02-09 Publisher: Random House Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 23 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: But suddenly, she's being strongly discouraged by her boss at the Lone Star Monthly and by Charlie McFarland, the millionaire real-estate developer whose first wife, Tiny, was Bronk's most famous victim - and the only one whose murder is a capital offense. Then Molly starts to receive dark hints that Louie may not have killed Tiny after all. There is another murder following Louis's M.O., one he could not have committed. The veracity of Molly's book is threatened - and then her very life. Caught between a rock and a hard place, Molly realizes that by attempting to save Louis she is putting her own life on the line, and discrediting her own work. Mary Willis Walker brings a lusty new voice to the mystery scene. Already recognized for her first novel, she has now created a character just cheeky and gusty enough to take her place among the top ranks of female protagonists such as Kinsey Millhone and Kay Scarpetta. Critic Reviews: "Molly Cates is full of vinegar, a wonderfully appealing heroine with a lot of guts, a fine sense of humor, a more than passing acquaintance with life's ironies, and enough of her own dark secrets to make her both vulnerable and humane. Two thumbs up--way up!--for this outstanding book." (Booklist) "One of the creepiest killers since Hannibal Lecter meets a plot and heroine worthy of Patricia Cornwell. Welcome to the big time, Mary Willis Walker." (Kirkus Reviews) Members Reviews: Good mystery Really enjoyed this one. Solid characters and plotting. Some nifty twists and turns, a pulse-pounding climax. If youâre a fan of mysteries, this is one to read. Unusual I found this hards to get in to and couldn't get past Â. A good "snuggling up on a winter evening" murder Real. Riveting. Fast-paced. Believable. Not what I expecgted I ordered this book because I saw it listed on a web site for cozy mysteries. Surprise! It is definitely not a cozy! I would place it more in the vein of a psychological thriller. While I have to say that I liked it well enough to give it 4 stars (3 1/2 would be more accurate), I had mixed feelings even as I read it. Several times, after I would read a chapter, I set the book aside and told myself I was not going to finish it. Then, I would find myself so intrigued that I went back to see what happened next. Not I couldn't put it down; but I couldn't leave it down. I think that, if I had known what to expect from the beginning, I would have enjoyed it more. But also, if I had known what to expect, I might not even have tried the book. This review sounds as if it contradicts itself, doesn't it? Whether or not you will like the book depends a lot on what kind of reading you want. When is Justice not Justified? This novel poses the question: If a man is a murderer but is innocent of the crime for which he was convicted, is it justice if he dies for it? The answer doesn't turn out to be so simple for Molly Cates, true crime writer for the Lone Star Monthly. Louis Bronk, confessed to being a serial killer, but was convicted only of killing Tiny McFarland, wife of a prominent Texas businessman Now, a few days before his execution, Charlie McFarland's second wife is killed...the same way.

The movie, starring Clint Eastwood, was a major box office success across the world. In a heavily guarded mansion in the Virginian countryside, professional burglar and break-in artist Luther Whitney is trapped behind a one-way mirror. What he witnesses destroys his faith in not only justice but all he holds dear. What follows is an unthinkable abuse of power and a criminal conspiracy, as a breathtaking cover-up is set in motion by those appointed to work for one of the most important people in the world - the president of the United States. Members Reviews: Nice listen. This was the book that began david baldacci's writing career and you can see why he is one of the best at what he does. Great action thrillers. I was so happy to see that audible finally had this book to download. Scott does another great job of narrating this book. If you want a good listen then this is the book for you. Good story but... Scott bricks narration was excellent as always and the story was good, however the daughter of Luther Whitney was so irritating that I almost gave up on the book every time she entered the story. I also could have done without the flag waving and orchestra at the end. A real shame. un-put-downable If you could sum up Absolute Power in three words, what would they be? Suspense, rivetting, superb Who was your favorite character and why? Luther - a caring, good, bad guy What about Scott Bricks performance did you like? Everything. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Absolutely. I couldn't wait to get back to it, every time I had to take a break. Any additional comments? The best book I have listened to for a long time. Excellent read to a fantastic story The best read book I have ever had the pleasure to listen to. Scott Brick is an excellent narrator and he brought the story to life with all its emotions and twists as only David Baldacci could bring to put to pen and paper. Absolute Power Love all David Baldacci books, this was a good as all the others. This I believe was his first book and it is excellent.

The suffering that ensued was plentiful, but none more so than that of little Matthew Mason, whose parents were brutally murdered in the midst of the storm by a homeless man desperate to find shelter. After 25 years of torment, Matthew is released from a mental institute under the watchful eye and care of Tammy Atkins, a care worker with a secret history of alcohol abuse and self-harm. As Matthew struggles to adapt to his new found liberty, he finds himself continuously plagued by the demons of his past. Haunted by strange and ghastly images and urges, Matthew sets himself upon a path of vengeance; determined to seek out his parents' killer and put his demons to rest once and for all. The Damaged is a disturbing psychological thriller, delving deep into the darkest depths of the human psyche. Members Reviews: The Damaged This was a book I could hardly put down,even through the gorey bits.Rob Goll does a fine job with character voices.When Matthew was a child he saw his parents murdered by a tramp.He is released 25 years later from a mental institution with instructions for home care personnel to make sure he takes his pills.Through his masterful deceit he forgoes them causing a lengthy breakdown that takes its toll on his care workers,vagrants and anyone that gets in his way. I was given this book for an honest review. A Fascinating and Disturbingly Dark Read Where does The Damaged rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? Wow! It is fairly high! What did you like best about this story? The deep look into the human psyche. Overall? It is really good. Have you listened to any of Rob Golls other performances before? How does this one compare? First time I have heard him. He did an Awesome Job! Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes! Unfortunately, life does not agree at times. Any additional comments? Rating 5 out of 5 Hearts A Fascinating and Disturbingly Dark Read!! Simon Law is a New to me author.I found this book to be both Fascinating and Disturbingly Dark. Fascinating because it does look pretty deep into the human psyche and how events in our lives can affect us, even years down the road. Well written, multi layered, and packed with characters that are very well developed and believable, I had to walk away a time or two, set my tablet down, and process what was happening. This story has some serious triggers in it and may not be for everyone.The world is dark, consistent, and well developed, downright even scary at times. 25 years in a mental institution is not an easy pill to swallow. Both Matthew and Tammy have some deep seated issues they are dealing with too. I don't use spoilers in my reviews, as they may ruin a read for someone. The narrator did an amazing job of presenting each of the chararafters, there is no way I could not keep them consistent. Great Job! I was gifted an audio book version of this story by the author/publisher in exchange for an honest review. No renumeration was involved. Deeply disturbing, utterly brilliant horror story Matthew Mason's troubles started with the Great Storm of 1987, which hit the UK in October of that year. 25 years later, the listener meets up with Matthew again as his home carer, Tammy, is sent to see him twice daily to assist with his medication.

These books could easily be longer and better if more character development was included. It's almost like the author wanted to finish to get to the next book in the series.

The plot continues from book to book and introduces, or re-introduces characters of great interest the author makes the reader feel like s part of the action. I hope that Mr. Kane keeps at it for quite a while. I like Tanner as much as Reacher or Rapp. excellent Read every Tanner book to date. Very exciting and always keeps me wanting the next one. Keeping all the players involved throughout the series is masterful. Always liked books that reach back to those that were in previous plots. Great read. Remington Kane is a great author and never disappoints All of these Tanner stories are full of adventure, mystery, and lots of action!! They keep you turning the pages trying to figure out what will happen next. Remington Kane is a great author and never disappoints. Give it a miss. A simplistic tale with some grammatical errors. I became lost with the use of names and nicknames for the multitude of characters. Not entertaining, predictable and unappealing.

O'Leary Narrator: Steven Jay Cohen Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 58 mins Language: English Release date: 08-01-14 Publisher: Haywood Street Press Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 18 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: When a veteran cop tries to arrest baseball's home run king, one of them ends up on trial and the other one ends up dead. A routine stakeout is almost over when Dave Mackno decides to pursue a speeding Porsche. It's a decision that will have deadly consequences. That's because the Porsche is being driven by Remo Centrella, baseball's home run king, who is half-drunk and at the tail-end of a steroid cycle that makes him think he's bulletproof. There's no way Remo is going to let a no-name cop arrest him. Especially since the woman in his car has a fresh welt underneath her eye. For Atlanta Barons owner Ray Manning, the timing of the shooting couldn't be worse. With his oil company on the verge of a financial death spiral, he's running out of cash, and his investment bankers at Cohen, Wolfe are lining up to take full advantage of his situation. He's now in desperate need of the kind of justice that only money can buy. Members Reviews: Just when you think you know how it will end... Disclosure: I received this audiobook in return for an honest review Take one professional sports star, a cheating wife, an old school cop, an ambitious district attorney, a late night shooting and what do you get? Those characters and that scenario form the foundation of R. C. O'Leary's Hallways in the Night. Just when you think you know what happened, the story unfolds yet again and you realize everything you thought was true and certain, wasn't. What initially seems straightforward is later found to be multi-faceted and complex. I wasn't sure how the story would end and didn't want to put it down. The narration adds wonderful nuance and ambience to the story. I was impressed by the variety of accents voiced by Mr. Cohen and their authenticity. This was a very interesting listen and I recommend it anyone who enjoys crime / legal thrillers. A really good story Bec's review Sep 02, 14 edit 5 of 5 stars bookshelves: gifted-for-review, reviewed Read from August 31 to September 03, 2014 This book was gifted to me by the narrator in return for an honest and timely review. The story grabbed from the beginning, it drew me in and I did not want to stop listening. Atlanta, Detective Dave Mackno is on the third night of a tedious stakeout in the city. A Porsche is driven erratically through the street, the driver is restraining a woman. The gripping story begins! The driver of the Porsche is a baseball star, he is aggressive, he and Dave get into a fight which culminates in Dave shooting the star. The plot flies along and is full of surprising twists and turns through the murky world of politics, racism and the legal system. This book lacked the tedium of the never ending legal intricacies and long winded speechifying that, to me, signifies a legal thriller. I really enjoyed the ending, which, in itself held a surprise. The narration by Steven Jay Cohen was excellent, he acts the role of each character in such a way that the listener is easily able to identify each one. His voice has a pleasing rhythm and pace which added to my enjoyment of the story. flag Really Loved this audiobook Would you listen to Hallways in the Night again? Why? I would have a hard time listening again only because it's the type of book that you listen to to find out what's going to happen.

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 13 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: Quake is a disaster novel of epic proportions that will have listeners thinking twice about their next trip to New York City. New York City has seen its share of disasters: Terrorist attacks, blackouts, hurricanes, floods. But nothing has prepared the Big Apple for the biggest earthquake to ever hit the United States - 9.0 on the Richter scale. Manhattan and the surrounding boroughs are a smoldering catastrophe, plunging New York into terrifying chaos. Skyscrapers and bridges have collapsed, killing hundreds of thousands. For a handful of survivors, the nightmare is just beginning. Clawing north, navigating the ruined city amid violent aftershocks, FBI agent Francisco Mendoza hopes to reunite with his wife. Assistant US Attorney Nick Dykstra is hell-bent on finding his daughter way uptown at Columbia University - before a 9/11 conspirator who escaped during the quake finds her first. But the Indian Point nuclear power plant, forty miles north, is severely damaged. A deadly cloud of radiation is drifting toward the city. The only chance for survival is going down into the subways - and deeper still. Members Reviews: Good disaster, suspense story I found this novel to be excellent in its portrayal of the aftermath of an earthquake. I lived through a major earthquake and identify with the anxiety and desperation to get to your loved ones even if you have to walk on a twisted ankle or walk by leaning buildings as you pray that they don't fall on your head during an aftershock. I only found the constant Sept. 11 reference to be a tired storyline by now, and in this novel, it's overplayed. Meh The book was okay. I got a little bit tired of the terrorism because it's New York City. I understand New York City feels it's the center of the universe but if everybody New York feels like this father and daughter then they need some psychological help. Lots of codependency. I get the father's trying to get his daughter. But this is a little extreme.

Author: Castle Freeman Narrator: Steven Roy Grimsley Format: Unabridged Length: 3 hrs and 58 mins Language: English Release date: 11-03-11 Publisher: steerforth press l.l.c. Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 5 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: A young woman recently relocated to a tiny Vermont logging town, Lillian is menaced by a mysterious stalker named Blackway. This one man - who kills her cat, forces her boyfriend to flee the state in terror, and silently threatens her very existence - is a force little understood by the local figures to whom she turns for help. Yet, in this spare and powerful tale, Lillian enlists the powerful brute Nate and the curmudgeonly Lester to take the fight to her tormenter as a raggedy quartet of town elders ponders her likely fate. With simple strength and extraordinary force, Go With Me is a riveting modern fable of good provoked to resist evil. Critic Reviews: "A gripping, taut tale of suspense.... a spare, tense novel set within the desolation and desperation of the Vermont woods.... That things will eventually turn violent is a given. Even before a punch is thrown or a shot is fired, the dread is as thick as maple syrup. Freeman, a perceptive, enticing writer, isn't bloodthirsty. When violence erupts, it's sharp and succinct. Still, this isn't some heady novel about violence or its various consequences. It's about an America - insular and self-defined - that exists beyond the media's gaze. These are hard people, but they're also infused with humor, humanity, and a sense of right and wrong.... Go With Me is a gem that sparkles with sly insight and cuts like a knife." (The Boston Globe) "Like its young heroine, Lillian, Freeman's trim powerhouse is a pistol.... Freeman's beautifully cadenced dialogue is rich with humor, philosophic depth and a near-mythic sensibility." (Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: Not Worth the Time Would you try another book from Castle Freeman and/or Steven Roy Grimsley? Probably not. This book was a large disappointment. The reason I downloaded it was because of a favorable review on NPR. It did not live up to it's review at all. What could Castle Freeman have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you? I found the dialog plodding, tedious and uninteresting. The only thing Freeman could do is to learn how to write dialog. characters repeating the same words back and forth to one another is third grade quality writing. character 1: He did it ; character 2: Yes he did ; character 3 Yep, that's what happened ; character 1 : That's what I said ; character 3: Yep, he sure did it ; character 2: Never thought he'd do it ; character 1: Oh I knew he'd do it ; character 2: Yep, you did ; reader: shoot me now..... Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Steven Roy Grimsley? Grimsley wasn't to bad given that he didn't have a lot to work worth. What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment? Disapointment. I stayed with it because I kept waiting for it to get better. A waste of time.

Office of the Dead Audiobook by Andrew Taylor

Title: Office of the Dead Author: Andrew Taylor Narrator: June Barrie Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 40 mins Language: English Release date: 04-20-07 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 13 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: Living in the British city of Rosington of the 1950s, Wendy finds herself penniless, jobless, and on the verge of divorce. She goes to stay with her friend, who seems to have everything Wendy lacks. But a decades-old mystery lingers, and the shadow of death seeps through from turn-of-the-century Rosington, portending tragedy. ©2001 Andrew Taylor; (P)2014 Audible, Inc. Critic Reviews: "Maiden ladies who would make Miss Marple smile and villains as vile as Thomas Harris' Hannibal Lecter populate this witty, urbane but dark third volume in Taylor's Roth Trilogy." (Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: Pulled me in and kept surprising me Office of the Dead is not your typical mystery. The story builds slowly and keeps both the narrator and the reader wondering what is coming next. This is first person point-of-view done as it should be. Our narrator, Wendy, reveals enough about herself to become a well-rounded, sympathetic character. Her observations of Roth, the college, and characters around her draw in the reader. The book is full of interesting and sometimes creepy secondary characters. While this story stands on its own, I discovered after finishing that it was actually the third book in a trilogy. The trilogy steps backward in time with each volume, which explains one of the issues I had with the story. There are hints of future happenings that are not explained. If the books were read in order, the reader would understand the references. June Barrie was the perfect narrator for this volume. Slowly a mystery emerges This is the first part of a trilogy of books that starts in the 1950s. The early part of the book moves slowly as the characters are introduced and fleshed out and one might think it was going to be a simple family saga. However, after a while a mystery, with its origins in the pre-War period, emerges and one realizes that the story is much more complex and gripping. The structure of the book suits being an audio version as the story is largely told chronologically by a first person narrator remembering the past. It is excellently read by June Barry. I shall certainly listen to the next two parts. QUALITY FIFTIES NOSTALGIA & MYSTERY Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? The author Andrew Taylor is in his mid sixties, which is why he understands perfectly the era of the fifties. I am the same age and can appreciate his novel which is superbly written. The narrator June Barrie was perfect. I was transported. Not sure if today's younger reader will appreciate this. But I do. What other book might you compare Office of the Dead to, and why? There are too many wonderful novels. I am about to read the next book the Judgement of Strangers, which is the middle novel of the Roth trilogy. It sounds very promising. Have you listened to any of June Barries other performances? How does this one compare? She's not a prolific narrator, but I'm hugely impressed with this reading. I'm staying in rural China where there are no westerners, and it gave me hours of joy to be reminded of England and the spoken word. If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be? This has been made into a television series.

To the Power of Three Audiobook by Laura Lippman

Title: To the Power of Three Author: Laura Lippman Narrator: Linda Emond Format: Abridged Length: 6 hrs and 20 mins Language: English Release date: 06-13-05 Publisher: HarperAudio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 65 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: For the shell-shocked parents, teachers, administrators, and students, healing must begin with answers to the usual questions, but only if the answers are safe ones, answers that will lead back to one girl and one family and absolve everyone else. For Homicide Sgt. Harold Lenhardt, this case is a mystery with more twists than these grief-stricken suburbanites are willing to acknowledge, and the sole lucid survivor, a girl with a teenager's uncanny knack for stonewalling, strikes him as being less than honest. What is she concealing? Is she trying to protect herself or someone else? Even the simplest secrets can kill...and kill again if no one is willing to confront them. Critic Reviews: "Lippman pushes the edge." (Sun Sentinel) "Smart, innovative and exciting... She delivers the goods." (George Pelecanos) Members Reviews: Not my cup of tea.. I gave high praise to Laura Lippman's other audible offering "By a Spider's Thread". And when I saw the same excellent narrator had done this one too I had high hopes. While the narration is excellent the story just wasn't for me. This is a chick novel bluntly said. I should have paid more attention to the story line before I bought the book. It's about three teenage girls and...well, maybe that says enough. If the story line looks interesting to you then you'll probably really enjoy this book. It's well done. Such a good one! I love Laura Lippman, but this book stood out especially for its characters and plotting. Cameo appearances from some of her Baltimore regulars. This is an abridged version. I have long loved this book and was delighted to see the audio version. Nothing I saw indicated this was an abridged version and I am very disappointed. I have returned it for a refund. Regretfully, but return it I did. If they ever do the full text, I'd be thrilled to own it. Dull What disappointed you about To the Power of Three? I found the story hard to keep up with. Not sure if this was because it was abridged but it seemed to jump between present and past with no warning. Maybe I was'nt paying attention and was missing bits as my mind did tend to wander because it was quite a dull listen What could Laura Lippman have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you? Not sure. I think her style of writing isnt for me. What didnt you like about Linda Emonds performance? Her voice seemed to drone Any additional comments? Maybe try an unabridged version - its a risk as it may be even more boring to listen to and longer !!

Body Language Audiobook by James W. Hall

Hall Narrator: Laural Merlington Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 28 mins Language: English Release date: 05-04-09 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 12 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: A serial killer is leaving the bodies of young women twisted into strange symbols. Juggling crime photos, Alexandra realizes that the symbols are, in reality, letters of the alphabet -- and that they spell out her name. She suddenly finds herself dealing with her chaotic present and coming to terms with her long-buried past in a dangerous roller coaster ride that takes her from the mean streets of Miami to the Florida panhandle -- and straight into the hands of a killer. Members Reviews: Not bad, but hard to grasp basic concepts. This is a very basic book and although it gives you some good info for basic body language, it's a bit difficult to read due to the dated language it uses to communicate making it a bit boring to read. Very outdated This book was first published in 1970. Maybe, at that point in time, people found the little bit of common sense in here helpful,I find that hard to beleive. Julius was very evasive in its explanations of his theories. Better books on the topic are Nonverbal Communication In Human Interaction by Mark L. Knapp, and Nonverbal Communication by Horst Ruthrof. I speak two languages, Body and English. - Mae West Sandy and Clint have been the best of friends since their teens. They grew up in the same run down apartment complex and learned to depend on each other early on. Clint travels for his job, but stops in every now and then to spend a few days here and there with his pal. This time he's visiting with a purpose, it seems he finally has come to realize that he is in love with her, he wants to tell her. But when Clint shows up in the middle of the night his hopes for her returned affections are dashed when all she can talk about is a new man she is interested in. This was a lighthearted and fun read. Up until about the midway point I was enjoying every minute of it as I happen to love stories about best friends coming together romantically. Clint decides to teach Sandy the art of seduction and body language to help her snare her love interest and also in the hopes that it will make Sandy look his way. It's a kooky idea, but it works for this book and it gave me a couple of chuckles here and there. After about the midway point in this book I started to get a bit frustrated. For best friends these two lack some serious communication skills with one another. I couldn't help but want one of them to be honest with the other and face facts; it got silly after awhile watching the two of them pining for one another all the while thinking the other wanted nothing to do with a more intimate relationship. Then for some reason at about the same midway point, Ms. Brockmann started peppering, excessively, Clint's dialogue and thoughts with "Lord, "Mercy," "Have Mercy" and any variation of the sort. It didn't fit his rugged and sexy motorcycle man character and it gave him this sort of hokey golly gee wiz vocabulary, a different feel from the beginning of the book. Although this book was originally published in 1998, I am happy to say it didn't show its age at all. If you can get past my few nitpicks I think you will find a quick and enjoyable easy read, great for the up and coming beach weather! Cherise Everhard, May 2008 one of her most romantic books this has it all. A book about friends who are already in love and just have to discover that they are loved in return.

Ripley Narrator: J. Rodney Turner Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 22 mins Language: English Release date: 07-11-17 Publisher: Brash Books Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 14 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: Vietnam vet and former pro football player Wyatt Storme is bow-hunting in Missouri when he stumbles upon a hidden field of marijuana, and is attacked by a vicious dog and shot at by a sniper. He reports violent incident confidentially to the local Sheriff, who is murdered the next day. Storme believes there's a connection and starts asking questions, unraveling a deadly conspiracy of corruption, drug-trafficking and organized crime, and making himself someone that just about everybody wants dead. Members Reviews: Captivating Listen Typically I do not listen to many thrillers, as romance is my preferred genre, but I really enjoyed this one with all of the twists and turns. Parts of the book I really enjoyed and others not as much (I love dogs, so what happened I didn't like). The pace was fast and it kept me on my toes. I thought the narrator did a good job fitting the characters and the local dialect My review is not a synopsis of the book, but rather my opinion of it. I enjoyed the humor that was added to this book as well. I was provided with this review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. Witty dialogue with great narration What did you love best about Hail Storme? I found the Wyatt and Chick to be two of the most interesting characters I've listened to. What did you like best about this story? Clever dialogue that made me chuckle several times. What does J. Rodney Turner bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? The deep voice of J. Rodney Turner is perfect for such strong male characters. This was the first time I have listened to one of his performances but I will definitely be looking for more. Any additional comments? I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher. Everything you want in an action adventure Any additional comments? I absolutely love when a story and a narrator are perfectly aligned. That is definitely this listen! This is my first J Rodney Turner listen but in no way will it be my last. His narration was perfection on a stick! I loved his dark and booming delivery and since I listen with earbuds most of the time, his is a voice I wanted constantly in my ears. The story was an incredible action adventure with enough bad guys to go around. I loved how the author added levity and snark into the dark subject and then mixed in a great bromance. I didn't want it to end. Thank goodness there will be a book two!! Worth your time and credit Any additional comments? Worth your time and credit. A great suspense thriller with plenty of humor. This is a fantastic start to a series and one I will be definitley continuing with. I have to say the narration pulled me in immediately followed by the story about 3 sentences later. From there I was hooked. It's an interesting, engaging, fun, humorous and very entertaining story with an unusual great cast of characters. The story moves at a fast pace with plenty of action. There is enough suspense, intrigue, mystery and twists to keep you on the edge of your seat. There was never a middle of the book slump. The action, suspense and humor were perfectly balanced to keep the story constantly moving. Of coarse Storme was a great character but Chick was really interesting. He's got some serious secrets in his past. J.Rodney Turner did a really good job with the narration.

She knows only that she was found injured and unconscious on a rugged stretch of Oregon coast. Now she's in a hospital with a shaved head, a cast on her leg, no identification, and her memory and identity hidden in an unreachable pit in her mind. But someone knows who she is! After considerable publicity, a warm and caring older woman, Lenore Lennox, shows up and identifies her. She's Kat Cavanaugh, New York model, who disappeared from her deceased parents' isolated home in northern California several months ago. Relieved to know who she is, Kat returns home with Mrs. L. and tries to regain her health and memory, and make decisions about her future. Her leg heals and her hair grows, and she finds herself very much attracted to Jace Foster, manager of a nearby Christian school for boys. But even though her past is only a shadowy flicker in her mind, ugly strands of that other life reach out to entangle her present. She was not, she realizes, a nice person in that life. There's a hostile past with Jace, vengeful ex-roommates, professional clashes - and a fiancé she can't remember. There's also someone from her past who is determined there will be no future for her. Members Reviews: "Yesterday Lost" is written in the style of Dame Agatha Christie. Lorena McCourtney is an exceptionally talented writer! My wife, Renee, and I have enjoyed reading all of Ms. McCourtney's books, including her most recent novel. "Yesterday Lost." is a departure from her humorous writings, such as the incomparable Ivy Malone series. Her latest book is a mystery which brings to mind the late Dame Agatha Christie. Lorena McCourtney has an extraordinary talent for creating interesting characters and compelling storylines. And her descriptive passages, second to none, make them all come alive and memorable. As in all of her books, she weaves in her strong Christian beliefs, which make her books even more special. Congratulations, Ms. McCourtney, on your continuing successful career as an exceptionally talented writer!... and thank you for providing us, and so many appreciative readers, with books we can enjoy, and learn from, and be inspired by. We look forward to reading all of your books to come. Great Story!! A great story from a great story teller!! I could not put it down! Ms McCourtney has some great books out there and I would recommend all of them to anyone who enjoys a good mystery without a lot of sex and violence. I just wish she would write more of the Ivy Malone books since I enjoy them most of all. A Read Into The Night Book! I just finished this book. I gave up a Sunday nap because I could not go to sleep until I found out was happened to Kat. Such a wonderful blend of mystery, romance, and something much, much deeper. Ms. McCourtney is the such a good writer. I've loved her Ivy books for years and more recently discovered Andi and Cate series and loved them also. BUT Yesterday Lost, a stand alone novel, might just be my favorite after Invisible. Buy this book. An intriguing read! Enjoyed this story more than I expected to.

Die renommierte Kriminalpsychologin Ira Samin hat ihren Selbstmord sorgfältig vorbereitet. Zu schwer lastet der Tod ihrer ältesten Tochter auf ihrem Gewissen. Doch dann wird sie zu einem grauenhaften Geiseldrama in einem Berliner Radiosender gerufen. Ein Psychopath spielt ein makaberes Spiel: Bei laufender Sendung ruft er wahllos Menschen an. Melden die sich am Telefon mit einer bestimmten Parole wird eine Geisel freigelassen. Wenn nicht, wird eine erschossen. Der Mann droht, so lange weiterzuspielen, bis seine Verlobte zu ihm ins Studio kommt. Doch die ist seit einem halben Jahr tot. Ira beginnt mit der aussichtslosen Verhandlung, bei der ihr Millionen Menschen zuhören... >> Diese ungekürzte Hörbuch-Fassung wird Ihnen exklusiv von Audible präsentiert und ist ausschließlich im Download erhältlich.

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 12 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: Arthur Cathcart and Natsumi Fitzgerald wanted to believe they were free of the nearly invisible, malignant forces they had pursued, and been pursued by, across continents and oceans. The slightly brain-damaged tech-freak researcher and the blackjack-dealing psychologist had convinced themselves that life aboard a sailboat in the Caribbean, incognito and in love, could be a lasting refuge. The death of that illusion was as brutal as it was abrupt. Even people who knew how to dodge ruthless outlaws and relentless law enforcement learned there were powers from which no one could ever hide - not in the 21st century, not if you wanted more than to simply exist. To truly live in the world, you had to have a world that allows you to live. Soldiers fighting in Vietnam had a saying when pinned down under enemy fire: The only way out is through. And so it is that Arthur and Natsumi take to the fight, where the full expanse of both the virtual and material worlds is the field of engagement, nearly blind to the threats that surround them yet searching for that impossible path back to the ordinary lives they'd been forced to abandon. Wiser, stronger, and more experienced in the art of clandestine combat than they ever imagined they'd be, Arthur and Natsumi understand what makes you strong can also get you killed in a hurry - that the reserves of resilience and determination aren't limitless, that the power of intellect and craft dwindles in the face of a pitiless and resolute foe, that there are a billion ways to die but only one way to live. Members Reviews: Cathcart is still in the thick of it. Lucky for us. ABWTD is an excellent continuation of the Arthur Cathcart series. Mr. Knopf has done a great job of keeping up the cyber sleuthing and cyber sneaking to a level that is understandable and yet still very credible. I can only hope that there is an avenue to extend this series. It took me almost four hours to read the book. Lucky for me I didn't have to drive anywhere once I started reading. I understand that driving and reading a Chris Knopf novel are frowned upon by the law. I liked and believed the characters and was happy to see the way their situation was resolved. A great read and one that I highly recommend. Hurray for Arthur! I love this series - the humor does not really diminish the tension, but by the third book, the reader is confident that the good guys always win! Fun frolic and very well written. Appealing characters and settings. Four Stars Clever plot twists with the right amount of technicalities to retain credibility and keep the imagination engaged.

In theater, the actors who play Peter Pan are young, sprightly, and almost always female. So you can imagine the surprise of actress and sometimes-detective Jocelyn "Josh" ORoarke when middle-aged director Rich Rafelson decides to step into the harness of the boy who never wanted to grow up for a regional production of Peter Pan. Even more surprising is Richs sudden death, caused by a fall from the stage during an ill-advised curtain call. Josh's friends who had been in charge of the harness and stage carpentry are now prime suspects, and she has to clear their names. Complicating things are rival former lovers battling not only for Joshs affections, but for the resolution to the case. But as Josh gets closer to the truth, a fairy tale ending seems ever farther away. Who Dropped Peter Pan? is the sixth and final book in the Jocelyn ORoarke mystery series, which begins with Murder on Cue and First Hit of the Season. Members Reviews: Disappointed Although I enjoyed this series, I'm disappointed. There is a serious plot line left unresolved. Jane Dentinger created an entertaining and solid mystery series then left us hanging. I hate when that happens.

As Elvis learns about the enigmatic actress' origins, he also discovers the real reason he's been sent to Louisiana.... Members Reviews: Good book shame about the reading I really enjoyed the pace of this book but it was spoilt be the very flat reading. It could have which more enjoyable if the reader had put more life into his performance. Best Elvis and Joe book yet What made the experience of listening to Voodoo River the most enjoyable? I love these characters and this book served to remind me how great they are! Who was your favorite character and why? Elvis and Joe are both the best Which character as performed by Mel Foster was your favourite? Joe Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? When the plans all started to fall apart Any additional comments? A great read Elvus Cole fan i have previously heard Robert Crais books narrated by William Roberts & found his voice and reading far more engaging & stimulating to the imaginaton. In this reading, Cole & Pike's characters were flat. ...uninteresting. Elvis' cheeky wit never came alive under Mr Foster's narrative. I will not listen to another Robert Crais novel narrated by Mel Foster

Title: Nameless Author: Joe Conlan Narrator: Tracy Thibodeaux Format: Unabridged Length: 18 hrs and 39 mins Language: English Release date: 04-07-14 Publisher: Cherry Hill Publishing Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 18 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: Chilling and taut, Nameless, introduces a fresh and exciting twist on the deadly game of cat and mouse. By virtue of one impulsive and deeply human, but all too grave mistake, a good and decent man finds himself pitted against the embodiment of evil and threatened with losing everything and everyone he loves and values; including the pristine reputation he has endeavored all his adult life to establish. FBI Special Agent in Charge Daniel Falcone unwittingly steps onto course for a head-on collision with a frighteningly brilliant psychotic serial killer, whose harrowing childhood abuse and neglect left him devoid of humanity and salivating for revenge. Framed for a brutal murder on a commercial cruise ship, and fighting for the right to raise his sons and clear his name, Falcone races against the clock and struggles to keep his eyes on the prize, even while his profound guilt and self-loathing threaten to destroy him faster than his maniacal adversary. Critic Reviews: "You Will Know His Name... The characters relationships and interactions are full of struggles and fun, not just purely good or bad. Nameless is definitely a book for those long days at the beach and one that will keep you reading until the end." (Portland Book Review) Members Reviews: Don't think twice - NAMELESS is a Great find! Have you listened to any of Tracy Thibodeauxs other performances before? How does this one compare? I have never listened to Tracy Thibodeaux before but I thought He did a really GOOD job. I thought his inflections and voice changes for different characters was really good. I did not think he sounded like Shatner but it's just my opinion. Any additional comments? This was a REALLY good book. I really hope this author takes off because I could easily see him becoming one of my favorites. Although this book is quite long the story was a page turner throughout. There were no lulls, it was not repetitive and there were quite a few scenes that I did not see coming even though there were actually some subtle warnings (like if only she/he had done this, missed a sign, came home later etc then the events that occurred could have been avoided). This author is so talented I can't say enough about this book. There are lots of characters, plots and subplots galore but so well told you only have to listen. I just can't wait for a sequel!! Narrated by a William Shatner impressionist? Would you listen to Nameless again? Why? No. The narrator was so distracting it was hard to get through. I haven't seen the physical book, but i'm guessing there isn't a comma after every word. Who was your favorite character and why? The killer. He was just a well rounded character, plenty of background. I'd really like to read the book, so i could get more into the story What didnt you like about Tracy Thibodeauxs performance? Everything. He paused after every word and he read so slow like he had to sound out every word. I could have gotten used to his game show announcer voice, if he would not have read like a robot version of captain kirk. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? I'm not sure, i liked the story, but i couldn't really get into it, the narrator ruined it. Any additional comments? The narrator reads at a normal pace during any dialog then returns to his choppy, super slow cadence for the narration. It was very distracting.

Here's the real intelligence operation." Brad Meltzer A shattering debut thriller in which an unstoppable force of destruction is about to strike at the heart of America. The remote and impenetrable Pakistani mountains have offered refuge to the worst enemies of civilization since the time of Alexander. Now, the world faces a new challenge.

A top lethal operative, Will Parker is embedded within the terrorist's ranks to stop this catastrophic disaster. But with a nuclear core on its way to the U.S., Parker will go to any lengths to stop a biological terror more lethal than anything the USAand the worldhas ever faced. Retributiona dire warning of what our future may holdand our end. Critic Reviews: "Want to see what the military's really like? Harp knows his stuff." (Brad Meltzer) "A stunner...reminds me of Tom Clancy at his finest." (New York Times bestselling author James Rollins) Members Reviews: A very interesting story line What made the experience of listening to Retribution the most enjoyable? Difficult to say without spoilers, but I will say that the course of action taken by the protagonist was extremely novel and enjoyable to watch unfold. What was one of the most memorable moments of Retribution? The final battle on the Afghanistan mountain. Which scene was your favorite? The final battle on the Afghanistan mountain. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? No Any additional comments? I was very disappointed in the resolution or comeuppance of one of the antagonists of the book. I felt very shortchanged in the weak subplot involving this character and moreover with the resolution of the character's actions of the subplot. It left me feeling unsatisfied. This character was one of the main antagonists and was mentioned throughout the book, but we never really were given a chance to form a strong opinion of this character and his inclusion in the book was ultimately unnecessary. Plodding This is not a page turner. It took 1/2 the book before it became interesting. The characters are ok, the plot was ok but did have something new. There was very little action and came at the end of the book. It is ok not to have loads of action if there is suspense or intrigue but there was very little of this as well. Overall the book was flat. . The narrator did an adequate job but didn't seem to have much range for different voices. This was sorta ok since the story isn't in first person and there wasn't much dialogue. There were a few glitches in the production. Simply the story doesn't move along and lacks polish.

Daddy's Girl Audiobook by Margie Orford

Title: Daddy's Girl Author: Margie Orford Narrator: Jacqueline King Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 3 mins Language: English Release date: 01-09-14 Publisher: Oakhill Publishing Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: A deserted street below Table Mountain. A six-year-old ballerina waits alone for her mother. Then an unmarked car approaches, and she is gone. With no trace of why shes been abducted, suspicion falls on her divorced father, Captain Riedwaan. Powerless, he watches helplessly as the search for his daughter is called off. In desperation, Riedwaan turns to investigative journalist Dr Clare Hart, whose TV documentary about Cape Towns missing young girls has made her something of a local celebrity. Clare has seen how aspiring gangsters in the Cape Flats ghetto prove their worth by tormenting children. And she knows that the odds of a victims survival worsen with each passing minute. Critic Reviews: "Wonderfully crafted and fully engrossing" (Michael Connelly) Members Reviews: Very good! Where does Daddy's Girl rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? Its good, but not great. I would have liked more depth to the characters. They were penned in a fairly superficial way. What was one of the most memorable moments of Daddy's Girl? The final chapters. Which scene did you most enjoy? I don't want to include spoilers, so I can't say! Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? No, several chapters at a time were enough. Any additional comments? Daddy's Girl is very well written. South Africa is a pretty unique culture. The author used to be an investigative journalist with an interest in crime. She has stated that the organisational corruption in her novels represent reality there. The only thing the book lacked for me was a little more depth to the characters (al la Robert Galbraith's The Cuckoo's Calling).Also, although the narrator did a sterling job, I think this audiobook may have benefitted from a Male narrator. Due to the nature of the South African accent (for me), the male characters, read by the female voice, could be a little high pitched. I was at least 2/3rds of the way through the book before that no longer grated on me! An excellent narrator for other books though.

A Night of Errors Audiobook by Michael Innes

Title: A Night of Errors Subtitle: An Inspector Appleby Mystery, Book 11 Author: Michael Innes Narrator: Matt Addis Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 27 mins Language: English Release date: 05-20-13 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 15 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: A gruelling night of shrouded motives and confused identities develops when the last of the Dromios is found murdered, with both of his hands burnt off. He was one of triplets, whose brothers had died in a fire 40 years previously. Inspector Appleby wrenches the facts from a melodrama in which the final solution is written in fire. Born in Edinburgh in 1906, the son of the city's Director of Education, John Innes Mackintosh Stewart wrote a highly successful series of mystery stories under the pseudonym Michael Innes. Innes was educated at Oriel College, Oxford, where he was presented with the Matthew Arnold Memorial Prize and named a Bishop Frazer's scholar. After graduation he went to Vienna, to study Freudian psychoanalysis for a year and following his first book, an edition of Florio's translation of Montaigne, was offered a lectureship at the University of Leeds. In 1932 he married Margaret Hardwick, a doctor, and they subsequently had five children including Angus, also a novelist. The year 1936 saw Innes as Professor of English at the University of Adelaide, during which tenure he wrote his first mystery story, Death at the President's Lodging. With his second, Hamlet Revenge, Innes firmly established his reputation as a highly entertaining and cultivated writer. After the end of World War II, Innes returned to the UK and spent two years at Queen's University, Belfast where in 1949 he wrote the Journeying Boy, a novel notable for the richly comedic use of an Irish setting. He then settled down as a Reader in English Literature at Christ Church, Oxford, from which he retired in 1973. His most famous character is 'John Appleby', who inspired a penchant for donnish detective fiction that lasts to this day. Innes's other well-known character is 'Honeybath', the painter and rather reluctant detective, who first appeared in 1975 in The Mysterious Commission. The last novel, Appleby and the Ospreys, was published in 1986, some eight years before his death in 1994. Members Reviews: Classic Appleby Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Yes I would. I really like Matt Addis as a narrator as he manages to distinguish the different people without using silly or grating voices. Who was your favorite character and why? In this book Appleby is retired and so is able to have a drink when it's offered and be unconventional. However, he is invited in by a current police colleague who runs through the full gamut of emotions in response to the various antics and revelations along the way. He's my favourite in this story, although the butler, whose chronic alcoholism plays an important role, comes a close second. Any additional comments? A very good story with lots of twists and turns. fanciful but pleasant book All Michael Innes books are highly contrived and you either like ithem or you don't. This one has a slightly Gothic feel to it. The denouement is a bit underwhelming but good bedtime reading.all the same. Personally I liked the narration a lot, just like the book its very old time, if not plummy, but it suited the book. Dreadful performance Is there anything you would change about this book? I would change the narrator, who has given Appleby the weirdest voice. He sounds as if he has had some kind of surgery.

On a dark, damp Sunday evening, a man taking a shortcut home sees a hand reaching out in supplication from a bundle of sacks. In an instant he knows something terrifying has happened. In the Highlands in the late 1950s, much of the local newspapers success was due to Mrs. Smart, the no-nonsense office manager who kept everything and everyone in line. Her murder leaves her colleagues in shock and the Highland Gazette office in chaos. Joanne Ross, a budding reporter and shamefully separated mother, assumes Mrs. Smarts duties, but an intriguing stranger provides a distraction not only from the job and the investigation but from everything Joanne believes in. Members Reviews: Engrossing Murder Mystery Really liked The setting of Scotland in the 1950s in the Scottish highlands. Very authentic. Characters very alive and real. A gripping murder mystery that also highlighted some particular social issues of that time that I had not been aware of. Overall very enjoyable!

Send him a message from Amazon's Author Central. Critic Reviews: "Scott Nicholson explores the dark legends of the southern end of the Appalachian mountain chain, a nightmare country that ends in Stephen King's yard." (Sharyn McCrumb, author of The Ballad novels) "Scott Nicholson understands that the best horror novels achieve primal fear through a combination of sustained atmosphere, richly drawn characters, and believable if uncanny evils that draw unholy power from everyday lives." (Christopher Ransom, author of The Birthing House) "Keep both hands on your pants, because Nicholson is about to scare them off." (J.A. Konrath, Origin) Members Reviews: Don't waste your credit / money Just not worth the time. Weak characters, there were things that did not follow the story, things left out / not followed up, too easy to see where it is going so just follows the old boring girl related to freaks, freaks lure her "home", try to kill her, she survives, they are destroyed / have to wait for another time or some such BS. Silly and poorly read I could not finish this book as it was annoyingly predictable. No twists just terror and unbelievable horror on every page. Filled with ghosts and goblins even a hand that moves on its own I was bored to tears. It was simply to obvious what was going to happen on every page. Try harder and get a better narrator next time. Sorry but I could not finish this book I just don't know There was something missing in this story - not sure if it was in the reading or the writing. It just didn't flow well, and there were many times when I had to rewind it a bit and relisten in order to understand what was happening. It didn't help that all the women sounded like they had the same voice and accent. And half of the men.... Plus, one of the characters in the beginning of the story wasn't heard from again for no reason throughout the story, until the end... it was weird. Great idea for a story. But I just didn't get it.

Title: Hot Sur Author: Laura Restrepo, Ernesto Mestre-Reed - translator Narrator: Roxanne Hernandez, David Colacci Format: Unabridged Length: 22 hrs and 37 mins Language: English Release date: 10-01-15 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 13 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: From revered Colombian writer Laura Restrepo comes the smart, thrilling story of a young woman trying to outrun a nightmare. María Paz is a young Latin American woman who, like many others, has come to America chasing a dream. When she is accused of murdering her husband and sentenced to life behind bars, she must struggle to keep hope alive as she works to prove her innocence. But the dangers of prison are not her only obstacles: gaining freedom would mean facing an even greater horror lying in wait outside the prison gates, one that will stop at nothing to get her back. Can María Paz survive this double threat in a land where danger and desperation are always one step behind, and safety and happiness seem just out of reach? Members Reviews: Immigrants on a sad search for the American dream This Kindle First selection for September has the advantage of being placed in the right category. It is correctly labeled as literary suspense, which lets readers know that they can expect a character driven theme that provides an insightful look into the human condition. The style of Hot Sur met my expectation but the power and quality of the writing was a surprise and I have just spent three days immersed in the lives and subculture of fascinating characters. This tale is told from the point of view of a writer pulling information together for a book. The source material comes from interviews with one character, a manuscript by another and a notebook from a third. The tale is detailed and complex but the author manages to keep it flowing and to hold the readerâs attention by creating characters and situations that ring true. There is mystery, suspense and horror in this tale but it is the slow unfolding of the story with anecdotal digressions that gives depth to the characters. The story centers around Maria Paz, whose mother leaves Colombia and her daughters to go ahead and find a better life for them in American. Her daughters follow and the readers get to see the difficulties of poor immigrants compounded by their illegal status and fear of authorities and deportation. It is a timely topic and presented very well. There are many layers to the story including religious fanaticism and the resulting mayhem caused by it. It is not an easy book to put down until one reaches the satisfying conclusion. Quality literature from Kindle First Hot Sur is a superbly crafted novel with a complex plot, rich, fascinating characters and a thought-provoking view of life in America.I don't write many reviews but feel compelled to review this book because it has received a number of poor reviews. If you are going to read this book, and I highly recommend that you do, then do not expect a light weight, mindless quick read. Expect instead to be taken on a journey through the minds of several characters, to see life as they see it, to feel what they are feeling. The story will unfold slowly through many pages that describe the details of their lives. There will be readers who find that this book is beyond their level of reading comprehension, or is not the quick entertainment they want. I would hope that those readers would realize that their disappointment is not due to any fault of the book.

Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 7 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: Summer 1978. A young boy disappears without a trace from a summer cabin. His mother claims he was carried away by a giant. He is never found. Twenty-five years later, another child goes missing. This time there's a lead: a single photograph taken by Susso Myrén. Myrén has devoted her life to the search for trolls, legendary giants known as stallo, who can control human thoughts and assume animal form. Convinced that trolls are real, she follows the trail of missing children to Northern Sweden. But humans, some part stallo themselves, have been watching over the creatures for generations, and this hidden society of protectors won't hesitate to close its deadly ranks. Mixing folklore and history, suspense and the supernatural, The Shapeshifters is an extraordinary journey into a frozen land where myth bleeds into reality. Members Reviews: Pages don't connect? The book is incredibly promising. I have yet to finish it, and I'm sure I'll end up giving it a higher rating. But I'm having some trouble getting through it as I believe the copy I receive may have been misprinted, perhaps? The sentences do not line up from page to page. Initially, I thought this could have been just a piece of his writing style, but it's at the point now where the story isn't making sense. Every page reads as if I randomly opened the book, and I feel like I'm missing a few sentences inbetween. I began reading this first at Barnes and noble, and then ordered it offline. I didn't get very far in-store, however I did not encounter this problem then. This all leads me to believe I've received a copy that was printed incorrectly. If I'm wrong and it is just a creative decision please let me know. I've been researching trying to find someone with the same problem, but I've yet to come across it. Other than that, I would definitely recommend trying the book out. The writing is fresh and the fantasy is something I'd never heard of before. Im looking forward to figuring this problem out. Shapeshifters and Stallo are the same book Do stallo (trolls) exist? A picture taken by her grandfather has led Susso to ask this question and set up a website asking for proof of their existence. The disappearance of a little boy and the picture of a strange little man near his grandmotherâs house may lead her to answers, but also leads to danger for her and her family. Youâre not supposed to judge a book by its cover, but when I saw the cover of this book in a Bergen, Norway bookshop, I wanted to find out what it was about. When I finally was able to get an English language version from the U.K., I was not disappointed. The motivation of some of the characters was not that clear, but overall I enjoyed this book. order this in a used edition like I did and save yourself some money although translated from original language this is a well plotted..strange..and very different mystery-fantasy-horror novel.Fully developed structure wise this is an entertaining read..order this in a used edition like I did and save yourself some money..this makes the experience even better! Creepy, atmospheric horror story Stefan Spjut's SHAPESHIFTERS is a creepy, atmospheric horror novel about Nordic mythological creatures in modern-day Sweden. In 1978, a little boy is carried off from a campground by something gigantic, but no one will believe his mother's story.

The smallest noise can trigger a vision of violence from the past; it doesn't matter how long ago it took place. Since childhood he's fought to suppress these visions, and he has changed his habits in order to avoid the nightmares. Now in college, he's coasting, harboring crushes for unreachable girls, and trying without much success to avoid the influence of his loser friend, Joey. But when he rescues a drunk from a bar fight, he makes a life-long friend who will help him learn how to use his strange ability to his advantage - a skill he needs more than ever when he begins to have visions of a recent murder and a long-lost friend asks for his help. Members Reviews: ANOTHER PRETTY GOOD LANSDALE Here is what I had forgotten about reading a Lansdale book---how easy it is. The writing just flows along, flows along. This book is not as good as "The Downs", but, it is better than some of the others that I have read (I think this is my 6th). The author sure does pack a lot into a story! There are good cops / lots of bad cops, ghosts, a Mr. Myagi-kinda-dude, murders, guns, lots of drinking. Of special note, don't miss the ex- change between Tad and Joey in the restaurant, it is so, so good. Darkness on the Edge of Sound Attempting a crime thriller with a supernatural twist is risky literary business, but prolific author Joe Lansdale has the chops to pull it off - barely. This is the story of Harry Wilkes, who thanks to a severe childhood ear infection is given the unwanted gift of hindsight triggered by sounds. Put Harry in the vicinity of a violent death and, if triggered by the right sound, an instant replay of whatever gruesome past event took place. Needless to say, neither a pleasant nor desirable talent, which sentences poor Harry to a life of carefully plotted places and activities in an attempt to prevent the next horror show. But after living a life trying to avoid his "sixth sense", Harry must eventually make the choice of confronting his nightmares in order to help Kayla, former crush of his east-Texas childhood and current rookie cop on the local police force - and still a "hottie". While somewhat reminiscent of M. Night Shyamalan's "Sixth Sense", or more recently, or Tom Piccarilli's bizarre "Headstone City", Lansdale's twist on a second sight is fresh and unique. "Echoes" starts fast and furious, getting the reader riveted early, but about midway through slows and starts gets a bit muddy. The dialogue is uneven - snappy and darkly humorous at times, dull and uninspired at others. But for me, much of the slowdown can be attributed to Tad Peters, a middle-aged drunk who happens to be a Bruce Lee-class martial artist, independently wealthy, wholly unbelievable, and totally annoying. But we're to believe that the sodden Tad has the mojo to turn Harry's life around, get them both off the sauce, save fair Kayla, and clear her father's good name. But thankfully, just before Tad manages to sink this notable effort, Lansdale recovers and salvages the story with a climax worthy of the crackerjack beginning.

Title: Cell 8 Author: Anders Roslund, Börge Hellström Narrator: Christopher Lane Format: Unabridged Length: 10 hrs and 45 mins Language: English Release date: 01-03-12 Publisher: Brilliance Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 50 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: Convicted of brutally murdering his girlfriend, seventeen-year-old John Meyer Frey marks time in an Ohio maximum security prison, awaiting execution. For nearly a decade, the victims father has hungered for Freys death, while a prison guard is torn by compassion for the young man. When Frey unexpectedly dies of heart disease before he either receives his just punishment or achieves redemption, the wheels of justice grind to a halt. Six years later, on a ferry between Finland and Sweden, a singer named John Schwarz viciously attacks a drunken lout, leaving the man in a coma. The Stockholm police arrest Schwarz and assign Detective Superintendent Ewert Grens to the seemingly straightforward assault case. But when Grens learns that the assailant has been living in Sweden under a false identity, he begins to suspect that something darker and more complex underlies the incident. Following his intuition, Grens launches an investigation that stretches from Sweden to the United States and reveals a shocking connection between the Frey and Schwarz cases. Featuring a multilayered plot with a killer twist, Cell 8 takes you on a page-turning journey that explores the devastating repercussions of the death penalty as well as the fallout from the conflicting desires for public justice and private retribution. Members Reviews: A long journey for justice Cell 8 is the story of revenge justice and the long outdated belief that an "eye-for-eye" is just. Cell 8 takes many shortcuts with due process and international laws. The story is still enjoyable and full of meaning, both tangible and intangible, even with the apparent ignorance toward official procedures. The death penalty is center stage thoughout the book and may not be enjoyable for someone who is strongly locked into an opinion at either extreme. This story makes others with less conviction question whether they support or oppose the taking of a life as a just form of criminal punishment. Several story arcs are started and left unresolved which screams that more books are on the way from these fine authors. I admit I found Three Seconds a more compelling story than Cell 8, but both are credit worthy. Mr. Lane gives a great performance and contributes to the enjoyment of Cell 8. Good but not great Listeners who enjoyed Roslund & Hellstrom's Three Seconds will likely find the followup to be just about as good. In some ways it's even better, as the characters are now a little more familiar to both the authors and the readers. In other ways it's less good, as there's not as much of a mystery to the story as there was in the first book. Be prepared for a pretty blatant anti-death penalty message without a lot of subtlety. If you don't mind that, the story is entertaining. The problem with a "message book" like this is that the authors' viewpoint tends to take center stage, and the story takes a backseat. That is mostly not the case here, happily. The authors are against the death penalty; that seems clear. But since most of the world is against it too, I'm not sure now necessary it is to beat readers over the head with it. Nevertheless, the story is creative, the narration is very good (Christopher Lane really does a good job with the Swedish accents), and the characters are believable.

Dont Look Back Audiobook by Laura Lippman

Title: Dont Look Back Author: Laura Lippman Narrator: Jennifer Woodward Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 11 mins Language: English Release date: 04-11-11 Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers Limited Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 13 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: In the new nail-shredding novel from New York Times best-seller Laura Lippman, Eliza Benedicts past returns to haunt her when the serial killer she escaped from as a young girl walks back into her life. Twenty-five years ago, he stole her innocence. Now he wants to get in touch. Eliza Benedict cherishes her quiet existence with her successful husband and children in the leafy suburbs of suburban Washington. But her tranquillity is shattered when she receives a letter from the last person she ever expects - or wants - to hear from: Walter Bowman. In the summer of 1985, when she was 15-years-old, Eliza was kidnapped by serial killer Walter Bowman, who targeted young girls like Eliza in a sexually motivated killing spree. Now facing lethal injection on death row, Walter is keen to make contact with Eliza, seemingly motivated by a desire to atone for his sins before he finally meets his maker. Carefully, with some reluctance, she lets Walter enter her life, first by letter, then in person. Walter is keen to convince Eliza that he has changed, but it becomes clear that Walter has more of an agenda than he first revealed. Cunning and manipulative, Walter is never more dangerous than when he can't get what he wants, and he wants something very badly. Disturbingly, he seems to have an ally working in the outside, one who seems to know everything about Eliza's life - including where she lives. As Walter once again manages to exert his malign influence, Eliza must draw on all of her reserves of wisdom and strength as the battle of predator and prey once more plays out and she must face the past head on if she is to survive. A taut and mesmerizing novel by the highly-acclaimed author of Life Sentences and Every Secret Thing. Members Reviews: I Must have Missed Something Love Laura Lippman but this story was lacking to me. I couldn't understand why the main character entertained the villian. The special telephone? Really? Some parts of the story seemed to have started out with a purpose but never really went anywhere. A little dissapointed but it won't stop me from looking for other Lippman books. Didn't really like it... This was very dull. I couldnt get to the entire book because it didnt hold my attention. It could be a good book but was lacking something. I was very disappointed. I have read other bools by Laura Lippman and loved them. But this was not good at all.

Currently investigating a crazed art collector who has begun destroying prized masterworks, Glass is thrust into a bizarre hostage negotiation that takes him undercover at the Phoenix Foundation dedicated to the science of past-life study where, in order to maintain his cover, he agrees to submit to the treatment of a hypnotist. Under hypnosis, Glass travels from ancient Greece to 19th-century Persia, while the case takes him from New York to Paris and the movie capital of the world. These journeys will change his very understanding of reality, lead him to question his own sanity and land him at the center of perhaps the most audacious art heist in history the theft of a 1,500-year-old sculpture from the Metropolitan Museum of Art. International bestselling author M. J. Roses The Hypnotist is her most mesmerizing novel yet. An adventure, a love story, a clash of cultures, a spiritual quest, it is above all a thrilling capstone to her unique Reincarnationist novels, The Reincarnationist and The Memorist. Members Reviews: decent story, didn't love the narration The story is interesting, but predictable. When the narrator does the women's voices, it is really annoying.

But now the world is coming to their dying outpost in a crumbling corner of a Venice that tourists never see. Police boats and vaporetti bring investigators, curiosity seekers, and one man who plans to own the property himself. With two family members consumed by the foundry fire, both mystery and opportunity have been bared to the bone. On special assignment from Rome, Detective Nic Costa, along with his partner, his boss, and a dogged pathologist named Teresa Lupo, is getting in the way of progress, Venetian-style. They know that Uriel Arcangelo and his wife were murdered. They know that a predatory Englishman must be a suspect, as is the family of the murdered woman. And while everyone wants the Roman cops to give up and go home, they can't...because a matter of desire, death, and lies has just turned murderously on one of them. Members Reviews: The characters grow on you I started late with this thriller series and am now trying to catch up with earier releases in chronological order. At first I thought the Italian police investigators were a bit too stereotyped for my liking but the cast does grow on you. David Hewsons novels are filled with excellent descriptions of Rome and Italy, and not only the tourist spots featured, for example, in Dan Browns work. The stories around Nic Costa and his entourage of colleagues are basically very interesting and cleverly plotted, and "The Lizards Bite", set near Venice, is no exception. I also appreciate that all dialogue is not performed with some overdone weird Italian accent but in clear precise English and look forward to listening to all future releases from David Hewson. Brits in Italy This is a tough review to make and write. It is between a 3 and a 4 star but we don't have that choice so I went with a weak 4. I was a little bothered by the British accent of the narrator with Italian characters. Also at times the author became overly literary and went off on descriptive tangents with overly drawn metaphors that might be found in a classic English romantic novel. That said, David Newson can tell a good story. Great plot and plot twists. Lots of clues and lots of red herrings. Good characters and good character development. As I said, it is hard to review but worth a listen. I will give him another try in this Nick Costa series. Listening to this book is like watching a movie The Nick Costa series of books are a great listen. The characters are developed over the whole series so be sure to start at the beginning of the series. The books are a wonderful blend of Italy (at least Rome and Venice) today as well as a look back into history. Every book allows you to easily picture exactly what is going on and where it is happening...Hewson paints the scene and pace so well, you feel like you are watching something instead of listening. I hope audible gets Dante's Peak soon! Intriging and inventive story I've only recently discovered David Hewson's writings. I've been working my way through his Rome detective series and have been impressed by the sheer range of imaginative stories he has thought up. He creates a great sense of atmosphere and place (this story is set in Venice).

Yet Catherine's persistence in covering the story soon leads her to uncover a startling conspiracy - and some eye-opening truths about her own heritage. Members Reviews: Still hoping to hear something likeable.... I find no range of emotion in this story, well into Part 1. There is a constant need to escape, being alone in fear, continual terror. I love Margaret Coel's books, as you meet many interesting characters and there are wonderful moments as well as terrors. There's little character development and a constant chase. I'm not impressed so far. Am re-listening to this title. No wonder I didn't remember it from a year ago when I bought it! Have listened to this several times Great book her best. And the reader is good. My only complaint the forever churning stomach. But really enjoyed it.

Title: Kissing the Werewolf Subtitle: Izzy Cooper, Book 1 Author: Kendra Ashe Narrator: Amanda Veneziale Format: Unabridged Length: 4 hrs and 46 mins Language: English Release date: 04-30-15 Publisher: Kendra Ashe Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 26 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: What do you get when you mix a vampire hunter, who happens to be an FBI Agent and my boss, add a fallen angel, that's me, and a genius criminal profiler with secrets? You get the Monster Squad! We hunt monsters and other whatnots. Add to the mix an extra hot alpha wolf, a mysterious town with a serial killer on the loose, and you have total mayhem. I'm Izzy Cooper, and I'm sporting a pair of black wings. To earn redemption, I had to return to my life as a fallen angel, and work tirelessly to bring down bad guys. It's a good thing I have some help in the form of my guardian demon, who happens to be as hot as he is devious. But that isn't the only guy problem I have to deal with. I have a new job with the Atypical Crimes Management Unit of the FBI, which happens to be based in my hometown of Storm Cove. Returning to Storm Cove means facing Elias Moreland, who just happens to be my high school crush, and the sexiest guy I've ever met. Too bad he's also a werewolf. Saving my soul, while protecting my heart from an extra hot werewolf isn't easy, when being wicked is a natural element of my nature. Warning: Izzy Cooper is a nice girl, but she can also be an opinionated bitch from Hell. After all, she is a fallen angel. On occasion, she likes to play with hot guys who have hotter than hell bodies. This story is not for the faint of heart, or those easily offended by sarcasm, dark mystery, and hot romance. You have been warned. Members Reviews: I want her to read to me again! This was my first audiobook and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The narrator's voice felt very comfortable to me. Her use of character voices kept who was speaking, and when, clear while not distracting from the overall experience. (I still find myself questioning whether the voice of Mr. Grim was actually her or not). I enjoyed the story but felt one or two places where some details were lacking. That could have very well been due to either this being my first time listening to a book, or my anal retentiveness. Could also be I'm easily distracted when ... OH LOOK! A CHICKEN!! ...... Absolutely Terrible Narration I have no idea if this story is any good because the narration was so bad I couldn't even get through the first 10 minutes of the book. The narrator has bad inflection, no personality, and is barely one step up from monotone. Her timing is terrible. She has no ability to narrate. I have hundreds of books from Audible and this is the second worst narration I have ever heard.

Playboy Thompson C. Briephs has just been found strangled in his bed. The police believe the Newcastle Herald crossword editor, a scion of a blue-blooded New England family, died from kinky sex gone wrong. But cop-turned-private investigator Rosco Polycrates thinks there's a six-letter word for what happened. Enlisting the help of Annabelle Graham, the crossword editor for a rival paper, Rosco unearths a crazy quilt of suspects who had it in for the victim - and one of them was blackmailing him. Belle is certain the answers lie in Briephs's twisty puzzlers. Now she and Rosco will have to employ some dazzling wordplay of their own to stop a cunning killer from crossing paths with another victim. Listeners will delight in solving the crime, along with six crossword puzzles, which can be downloaded as PDFs, with answers in the back of the book. The Crossword Murder is a book to be savored by mystery lovers and crossword-puzzle enthusiasts alike. Members Reviews: Interesting Concept This is a very good read. The storyline is solid and the characters developed. Save your time & money Awkward plot, poor character development beyond stereotypes, and no suspense. One of those rare books in which I found myself not caring who the killer was. I gave up on it about 2/3 of the way through.

She looked at him and smiled sadly. You've lived too long among the dead, Quirke,' she said. He nodded. Yes, I suppose I have.' She was not the first one to have told him that, and she would not be the last. 1950s Dublin: When a body is found in the canal, pathologist Quirke and his detective friend Inspector Hackett must find the truth behind this brutal murder. But in a world where the police are not trusted and secrets often remain buried there is perhaps little hope of bringing the perpetrator to justice. As spring storms descend on Dublin, Quirke and Hackett's investigation will lead them into the dark heart of the organisation that really runs this troubled city: the church. Meanwhile Quirke's daughter Phoebe realises she is being followed; and when Quirke's terrible childhood in a priest-run orphanage returns to haunt him, he will face his greatest trial yet.... Members Reviews: Engaging book spoiled by poor readery This reader really ruined the book for me. He was unable to undertake any Irish accent and so resorted to a combination of stage Dublin and a bizarre attempt at a Belfast accent for characters who according to the story would not have had such an accent. His attempt to represent the speech of the Irish travelling community was insulting to them. Why could an Irish actor not be employed?

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: Ex-Ranger Connor Bradwick and his partner, Ellie James, are an Oakland PD patrol team who care about the people of their community. They are tired of the bad guys trying to take over their turf. After rescuing four kidnapped children from kiddie porn dealers, the duo is pulled to desk duty and required to go through psychological evaluation. The straight-and-narrow psychologist has concerns about Connor's readiness to return to duty, so when their boss clears them for duty she decided to ride along. Tired of picking up criminals just to have them released, Beckworth devises a plan of proactive patrolling. When parolees are released in their area, they will monitor the criminals' known places of business to catch them in the act or deter them from doing business. Their very first effort nets them an arrest and everything, both good and bad, snowballs from that point. Elle has a smart attitude bigger than her six-foot-plus partner. Connor brings his experience as a soldier to the streets. Julie, the psychologist, finds herself more involved with this dynamic duo than she ever dreamed possible. This action-packed, suspense-filled police story begins with a bit of righteous vigilant justice but that is not what the book is about. Humor, friendship, and people who care make this awesome story work. It is an overall up-beat novel. Members Reviews: Connor and Ellie kick some ass Another good one from Deleo. Connor Bradwick is 6'3" and one good looking guy. He's a special forces vet. He's also a cop in Oakland, CA. He and his partner Ellie James are on patrol when they see a young boy running from a man. Of course they stop and check it out. After Connor clocks the guy he and Ellie question the boy. Seems the young boy was kidnaped by the man years ago. He tells Connor and Ellie there are three other kids and more adults in a camper parked under the overpass. Connor decides to take no prisoners. He kills the three adults and gets the kids to Ellie. He then returns and makes the whole thing look like a righteous shooting. Ellie backs him one hundred percent as neither she nor Connor were concerned with killing three kidnapping sexual predators. Of course after using his weapon he's ordered to undergo eval by the Department. Julie Morrison is the psycologist who works for the county and she's in charge of Connor's eval. So begins one fine read. This one has Connor, Ellie, Sgt. Donaldson, psycologist Julie Morrison, Jas and his partner Louie, Det. Morton, a mob kingpin named Ayala, the FBI, loads of bad guys, a county commissioner named Stennis and two police officers making headway on crime with a little vigilante justice. Five Stars Cops doing the right thing Tough cops doing the right thing. Traffickers of human children, caught in the act, have no rights according to these cops. Only liberal lawyers would disagree with the opening scenario. Another great book As always a great read. Bernard's books are for the politically incorrect and proud of it, not afraid and to laugh and cheer out loud people. Loved the ride THE PROTECTORS by Bernard DeLeo THE PROTECTORS reads like an action filled, fast-paced movie that keeps you on the edge of your seat. DeLeo created characters that are loveable and funny one moment, and the next, with the cold detachment necessary to do their jobs, deep in the business of doing away with the bad guy.

But then, that's how the locals prefer it. Welcome to Midnight, Texas, a town with many boarded-up windows and few full-time inhabitants, located at the crossing of Witch Light Road and Davy Road. It's a pretty standard dried-up western town. There's a pawnshop (someone lives in the basement and is seen only at night). There's a diner (people who are just passing through tend not to linger). And there's new resident Manfred Bernardo, who thinks he's found the perfect place to work in private (and who has secrets of his own). Stop at the one traffic light in town, and everything looks normal. Stay awhile, and learn the truth.... Members Reviews: A beautifully written and narrated book. Manfred Bernard (from The Harper Connelly mysteries) moves to the quirky town of Midnight with it's strange and off beat residents and quickly decides he will fit right in. However trouble soon comes to the town and Manfred, often two steps behind despite his psychic gift, is drawn right in with his new neighbors. Charlaine Harris has a talent for writing characters that no one else has yet matched for me. She shows all the angles, loves them for their strengthens and their faults, shows them through others eyes in a way that brings new life to them and in which they'd never see themselves. The weary humor and understanding of human nature Charlaine Harris brings to this story really sets it apart me and I think it's a real shame that although she has reached popular acclaim with True Blood, stories like the Harper Connelly mysteries and Midnight Crossroad don't seem get the critical acclaim they deserve. Yes there's magic and mystery here and I like that in a story but it only adds spice to a beautifully drawn portrait of the intriguing characters in an American small town. Susan Bennetts' narration just seems good at first, though you get very little of it in the story, as much of it is told in the first person, through the varying eyes of the town's residents. This showcases the narrators ability to credibly do an array of voices, from old men to young mothers and at times I really forgot I wasn't watching a show rather than listening to a book. You don't need to read the Harper Connelly mysteries to enjoy this book but I'm glad I did as Manfred's perception of himself is incredibly self deprecating and it's good to contrast them with Harper's version of an intelligent, confident and worldly wise young man. I also loved the character of his grandmother Xlyda (pronounced Zilda in the audiobooks) and much of Manfred's character is explained by his upbringing with her. I really hope Harris continues to write about Midnight and I will be pre-ordering the books if she does, especially if they are told by such a good narrator as Susan Bennett. One of the best books of 2014 as far as I'm concerned. Quirky and unexpected.

It looks like they've been there a long time, and Lucas Davenport knows exactly how long. With the bodies discovered, an old case is resurrected - but there's something wrong with the evidence. As Davenport investigates, one thing is becoming increasingly clear: It wasn't just the bodies that were buried. It was the truth. Members Reviews: Poor I was so disappointed in this book, it had reasonable ratings on this site and on Amazon. I felt it was less of a crime novel, and more of a life history of a rather obnoxious cop who flouted rules when it suited him. It gave a very poor view of the attitudes of the police who were interested only in their own variety of justice. The only reason I gave it 2 stars rather than 1 was that I did actually manage to finish it, albeit with a great feeling of having wasted my time on this tedious book. GREAT READ great read , able to read it again and again and rad and hear new bits giving new context to story.

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 17 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: Among the president's helicopter crew, however, is a young Marine. He is quiet, enigmatic, and he hides his eyes behind a pair of silver sunglasses. His name is Schofield. Call-sign: Scarecrow. Rumour has it, he's a good man in a storm. Judging by what the president has just walked into, he'd better be. Critic Reviews: "Reilly, the pedal-to-the-metal action novelist from Australia, returns here with yet another inelegant yet oddly invigorating rip-snorter about - what else? - world domination." (Publishers Weekly) "An exciting romp." (Library Journal) Members Reviews: Excellent Book, Not So Great Narrator. Matthew Reilly's Area 7 is without a doubt one of my favorite action novels and its excellent use of fast past action coupled with rich characterization and on the edge of your seat style of writing proves to be a definite winner here, however the i found the narrator to be another matter all together, while the book warrants 5 stars i feel the narrator lets down the novel as a hole and i find his use of voice work to be at some points cringe-worthy, i thoroughly recommend the book, however you would be much better advised to pick up the Sean Mangan narrated version of the book as he is a far superior narrator and fits the genre the book is going for much better than Steven Pacey Does. Area 7 Matthew Reilly has a similarity to each of his books so far but for escapism is does the job with absolutely non stop action. surprising I've read this book you missed out several parts in the book, could have kept them in there Annoying narration. The narrators voice was annoying. Excellent book, just as one would expect from Matthew Reilly. Narrators voice so annoying. Not easy to listen too. Made Gant sound like a high school girl and mother like a mentally disabled drag queen. Everyone else had high nasally voices. great book terrible narrator narrator makes a otherwise excellent book very hard to finish as he is very hard to understand and is very inconsistent

Title: Revenant Author: Carolyn Haines Narrator: Lauren Fortgang Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 59 mins Language: English Release date: 08-31-07 Publisher: Harlequin Books S.A. Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 74 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: The remains of five women lie within, each one buried with a bridal veil...and without her ring finger. Once an award-winning journalist, Carson knows her career is now hanging by a thread. This story has pulled her out of a pit of alcohol and self-loathing, and with justice and redemption in mind she begins to investigate. Days later two more bodies appear, begging the question -- Is a copycat murderer terrorizing Biloxi, or has a serial killer awoken from a 25-year slumber? Critic Reviews: "A writer of exceptional talent." (The Milwaukee Journal) Members Reviews: One of 2007's best mysteries I don't see much point in rehasing the plot, but I found this to be a wonderfully atmospheric novel. Haines does a superb job of creating a mood in which Carson Lynch, her damaged heroine finds her journalistic instincts emerging from the haze of grief that has paralyzed her for the previous 2 years. Carson deserves to take her place along with other unforgetable women of mystery such as Tess Monaghan, Anna Pigeon, Kinsey Milhone, Barbara Holloway, etc. I will be looking for a second episode for Carson. The listen was greatly enhanced by the thick as molasses accent of Lauren Fortgang--not a perfect reading, but still quite memorable. Closure challenged I very much liked the heroine of this book. Her strength and vulnerability drew me through the twists of the story rather easily. The suspense aspects were satisfying enough but the book falls far short as a romance (which it was, perhaps, never intended to be - but since I saw it listed as one I think it worth mentioning). There are three love interests presented instead of one and if the protagonist does make a choice, she does so in a later novel. There's nothing I hate worse than to hear 'stay tuned' at the end of the 11th hour of listening so if you're annoyed by this as well - be forewarned. I think it a pity the author (or publisher) chose a possible sequel over a satisfying read because there was true potential there. Not bad The reading repeated a couple of times (mistakes with the recording?) and the story was a little pulpy but all in all not a bad book. I would give the author another try, the narrator was so-so, not the best nor the worst Loved the novel What did you love best about Revenant? The story itself was great. Carson was a compelling protagonist I could resonate with. Carolyn was able to make her both damaged and strong in equal measure. Despite her flaws and rough edges, Carson was a protagonist to love and who needed love. The fact that Carson was trying to solve a murder mystery that had connections to the (very real) Biloxi mob (more or less) was great. Lastly, the fact that she (Carson) was trying to give children back to parents who'd lost their children when her career had led to the loss of her own child was a poignancy and an irony that one can't ignore, either. It was a stroke of brilliance, even though, as one who HAS lost a child, there are notes that always hit home...but I love it for that, for making me express what I always feel. Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How? The story is perfectly-paced and keeps the reader guessing the whole time. Which scene was your favorite? The "aha" moment, of course. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes.

The birth of their daughter, Hannah, has revitalized their relationship, but Menley has never stopped blaming herself for the accidental death of her two-year-old son. The serenity of the Cape promises a new start. In Remember House, an 18th-century landmark with a sinister past, strange incidents force Menley to relive the accident that killed her son, and she begins to fear for Hannah's safety. Then Adam takes on a client suspected of murder when his wealthy young bride of only three months drowns in a storm - and the family is drawn into a rising tide of terror. A confrontation on a dark, rain-swept beach leads to a harrowing climax that only Mary Higgins Clark could have created. Members Reviews: Love this - one of my favorites! I have always loved Mary Higgins Clark - and I think this was one of my favorites. Great story line and kept me enamored to the point that I did not want to stop listening. Loved the narrator as well. Could listen to this one again.

While facing everyday battles from a lack of resources to teachers who are set in their ways, Jane encounters a persistent intruder on the school grounds. When the intruder turns violent, Jane herself is under suspicion. This time she will not be the prey but the pursuer.

I cannot understand any hype for this given the blurb I'd expected something quite hefty, atmospheric & absorbing..wrong! The narrator couldn't be more MissMarple in mode & tone, all sounded incongruous. For me the storyline was banal with a small & ludicrously stereotyped & poorly-drawn cast of characters in there.

Foreign assassins are sent to kill Captain Action, and though he manages to defeat them, it is their lifeless bodies that pose the greater mystery as they give off a green, glowing radiation. Teamed with a beautiful and seductive Russian Agent, Captain Action travels to the barren, frozen wastelands of Siberia where the secret behind the glowing men lies buried in a fantastic lost underground world. It is a secret also pursued by his most dangerous nemesis, the alien-born Dr. Evil.

First book by this author Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? Made me smile, very easy to listen to and very enjoyable Any additional comments? First of all in all fairness and in the spirit of openness, let me tell you that I received a free copy of this book from the narrator. Let me also preface this by saying I am not a big fan of Pulp fiction, but this book may have changed my mind about that. The Author, Jim Beard, took an Iconic action figure from the late 1960s and brought him to life. The story takes place during the Cold war era and while I was not crazy about the yacht cap our hero wore , that seemed a bit odd, the story its self was enjoyable. The descriptions of the various locals provided imagery and added that level of realism needed. Very well done. There were characters left out from the original stories, but this had no effect on this novel. In summary if You are looking to spend some time with a highly entertaining book, this is one you should read. Its fun and not to serious , I may now need to read more modern Pulp fiction. Cool like old time radio What made the experience of listening to Captain Action: Riddle of the Glowing Men the most enjoyable? It was fun kind of like listing to a old time radio show but all at once Who was your favorite character and why? Sean the side kick Which character as performed by Fred Wolinsky was your favorite?

Legendary PI Cliff Hardy has reached an age when the obituaries have become part of his reading, and one triggers his memory of a case in the late 1980s. Back then Sydney was awash with colourful characters, and Cliff is reminded of a case involving 'Ten-Pound Pom' Barry Bartlett and racing identity and investor Sir Keith Mountjoy. Bartlett, a former rugby league player and boxing manager, then a prosperous property developer, had hired Hardy to check on the bona fides of young Ronny Saunders, newly arrived from England and claiming to be Bartlett's son from an early failed marriage. The job brought Hardy into contact with Richard Keppler, head of the no-rules Botany Security Systems; Bronwen Marr, an undercover AFP operative; and sworn adversary Des O'Malley. At a time when corporate capitalism was running riot, an embattled Hardy searched for leads - was Ronny Saunders a pawn in a game involving big oil and fraud on an international scale? Two murders raise the stakes, and with the sinister figure of Lady Betty Lee Mountjoy pulling the strings, it was odds against a happy outcome. Members Reviews: Corris keeps producing Worried that Cliff Hardy will be fighting it out in the Bondi retirement village? Peter Corris has solved that by letting Cliff remember an old case to tell his daughter. Tighter than some recent books shows he has a bit left in him.

Caring for Ironwood is a dream come true for Cage Foster. The dream doesn't last long when a skeleton is found buried beneath the antebellum home. The unearthing of two additional fresh bodies quickly turns into a nightmare that could land him on Mississippi's death row. Newcomer Dani Evans, a pushy Yankee specialist in historical renovation, is the only person certain of his innocence. She's convinced the legend of Ironwood's treasure cache is the motive for the murders. Cage believes the killer is someone with an old grudge, and the evidence against Cage is mounting fast. Can Dani find the truth before Cage is arrested? Her search for answers uncovers a descent into madness that should have stayed buried. Critic Reviews: "Evocative, first-rate mystery that will keep you guessing to the end!" (Stacey Joy Netzel, New York Times best-selling author of the Italy Intrigue Series) Members Reviews: Fun story The book was a quick listen, grabbed my attention from the start. The characters were lovable and interesting. Once again in this series, there was a theme of redemption. If you like a little mystery mixed with romance its a good book for you. If you prefer more gore and medical procedure then I would not recommend this one. Overall an enjoyable listen. An exciting edge of your seat murder mystery! What made the experience of listening to Skeleton's Key the most enjoyable? The characters are expertly written with depth, realistic flaws and admirable strengths. One can't help but get attached to them and cheer for them throughout the book. Skeleton's Key is cleverly written to keep the reader guessing on who the culprit is to the very end. A perfect mix of history, murder, suspense, & romance, Skeleton's Key made this "Yankee" reader want to pack up my bags & explore the south! Who was your favorite character and why? I loved Dani! She's passionate, clever, loyal, and stubborn with a sweetness that is irresistible. I admire her respect for the south and her good intentions and laughed out loud at some of her "northern" ways. What does Johanna Fairview bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? She adds depth and emotion when narrating that adds to the story. A great story teller helps the reader to experience the story in more detail. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? That's hard to say without giving anything away in the novel! I will say the mystery is incredibly well done. Stacy Green excels at keeping the reader guessing and preventing any of her novels from being predictable. It leaves you on the edge of your seat, unable to stop listening because you just need to know what happens next. Any additional comments? When Dani uproots her life after losing her mother to move to a quaint southern town she hopes to be greeted by warm hospitality, sweat tea and exciting finds as she restores the beautiful old plantation home she just purchased. What happens however, throws her in the path of a murderer. When bones are found in the basement of the Ironwood plantation, Dani realizes that the legends of hidden rooms and treasures may not be just stories after all...

She didn't need saved by the hero, she saved herself. The romance was secondary, if that. It had a good mystery. Every time I thought I knew what was going on, it changed. I really enjoyed this book. fun and frustrating What did you like best about High Rhymes and Misdemeanors? What did you like least? I likes the premise: A mystery about an American woman studying the Romantic Poets in the Lake Country...it had all the makings of a great mashup of cultures with some history and intrigue thrown in. What I didn't like was how poorly the characters were developed. The protagonist was wimpy, weak, and shallow, much like her dashing hero. It had too much of the romance novel light, which I deplore, and little of the cozy mystery depth I was looking for. Has High Rhymes and Misdemeanors turned you off from other books in this genre? The plot and characters were shallow and poorly defined. Changing point of view between the two main characters was confusing and just not good writing. It lacked consistency, flow, and I often found myself saying out loud, "what? how did that just happen? That makes no sense?" The motives of the killer were laughable. And one of the sub plot angles of a missing work of Byron's was a great idea that could have saved this book, but was surreptitiously dropped. Did Saskia Maarleveld do a good job differentiating all the characters? How? The characters were differentiated, but not well defined. Was High Rhymes and Misdemeanors worth the listening time? It was informative for me of how not to write my great novel. The one I've been meaning to write for the last two decades. ;-) Don't waste your time This was bad writing in so many ways. I couldn't figure out if it was a romance novel or a treasure hunt. I do know it was not a cozy mystery like Diana Killian's other books. I will nt be reading anymore in this series.

The result is a full-throttle thriller, a cinematic adventure full of booze, bullets, loyalty, and love. Members Reviews: Don't purchase this book yet Would you listen to Six Bad Things again? Why? This is book 2 of a fantastic series that HBO is now filming. Why Audible would include only book 2 (out of 3) is incomprehensible. Do they even care if listeners purchase the whole series? Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How? Things for Henry just go from bad to worse, but he keeps getting lucky. It really is an edge of the seat story, and also kind of funny. What does Christian Conn bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Christian Conn is the perfect narrator for this series. He does great voices for the various characters. Any additional comments? Audible, come on, what are you thinking for releasing book 2, and not book 1 and 3? he's not dead let's get no.4. the best triolgly ever please write one more hank is still alive almost dead but not yet

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 18 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: On the last ordinary day of her life, Abby Bennett feels like the luckiest woman alive. But everyone knows that luck doesn't last forever.... As her husband, Nick, and daughter, Lindsey, embark on a weekend camping trip to the Texas Hill Country, Abby looks forward to having some quiet time to herself. She braids Lindsey's hair, reminds Nick to drive safely and kisses them both goodbye. For a brief moment, Abby thinks she has it all - a perfect marriage, a perfect life - until a devastating storm rips through the region, and her family vanishes without a trace. When Nick and Lindsey are presumed dead, lost in the raging waters, Abby refuses to give up hope. Consumed by grief and clinging to her belief that her family is still alive, she sets out to find them. But as disturbing clues begin to surface, Abby realizes that the truth may be far more sinister than she imagined. Soon she finds herself caught in a current of lies that threaten to unhinge her and challenge everything she once believed about her marriage and family. With a voice that resonates with stunning clarity, Barbara Taylor Sissel delivers a taut and chilling mystery about a mother's love, a wife's obsession, and the invisible fractures that can shatter a family. Members Reviews: AWFUL Would you try another book from Barbara Taylor Sissel and/or Gia St. Claire? No What could Barbara Taylor Sissel have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you? Added a real plotline? Did the narration match the pace of the story? boring from start to finish If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Evidence of Life? most of them Any additional comments? the narrator had a decent style but the story was so lightweight, repetitive and boring. hopefully, no one else MISTAKES this for a mystery which is the category it was in. TOO MUCH! Okay.... I'm a woman and consider myself to be in touch with and able to express my deep feelings and like to hear about others' deep feelings. But, expression can get to the point of being too much! I became so sick and tired of hearing the constant whining of deep feelings, that I was ready to scream. This author can go on and on and on and on about small points from every single angle! Enough already - get to the story and quit the whining! I felt that the story was forced - that it was outlined and filler was contrived to meet the needs of the storyline. As far as a mystery/thriller - forget it. No real suspense and what little there was (maybe in the first couple of chapters).... I was to the point of not caring. The story dragged on way too long, was paced far too slow and Abby (the main character) was made to be silly, stupid and weak. The narrator got on my nerves - too cutesy sounding and little-girl-like, which most of the time came across as whiny. This book was a waste of time and I wouldn't recommend it. Captivating I enjoy thrillers once in a while and now I've found a great author in Barbara Taylor Sissel, when I'm in the mood to listen to one. I enjoyed this book because its captivating and kept my interest throughout.

Murder in Abbot's Folly Audiobook by Amy Myers

Title: Murder in Abbot's Folly Author: Amy Myers Narrator: Julia Franklin Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 47 mins Language: English Release date: 05-01-12 Publisher: Soundings Ratings: 2.5 of 5 out of 3 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: Curiosity about a murder that took place in an 18th century folly draws father and daughter team Peter and Georgia Marsh to attend a summer gala in honour of Jane Austen at Stourdens, a Georgian mansion in Kent. Robert Luckhurst, the murdered former owner of Stourdens, was an avid collector of Jane Austen memorabilia, and his collection is thought to contain secrets about the novelist that still remain to be revealed. Whether the Fettises, the new owners of Stourdens, should reveal them is fiercely debated. It is a battle in which the Marshes are caught up in in their search for the truth about Luckhursts death and a battle which pitches Georgia into danger as murder once again strikes at Stourden. Members Reviews: suspenseful Marsh and Daughter Reviewing "Murder in Abbot's Folly" reminds me of the funeral of an exemplary person passing. No matter how much one rejoices in a life well lived, there must be sadness; after all, I have read all eight of the extant Marsh and Daughter. With author Amy Myers concentrating so fiercely on her Jack Colby car mysteries, who knows how long it will be before No. 9 comes to the States? Who could read the last sentences without a pang? In "Murder in Abbot's Folly," Peter and Georgia Marsh see the murder of Robert Luckhurst, the owner of an estate house called Stourdens, 25 years earlier as a possible subject for the Marsh and Daughter treatment. Peter, a former police inspector now in a wheelchair, and his daughter Georgia attend a gala at Stourdens to get a feel of the place -- and do they ever! First, Georgia gets hit with an overwhelming "fingerprint of time" at the door of Abbot's Folly, the scene of the murder. Then the Marshes are on the scene when the current owner is herself murdered not far from the site of the earlier murder. In both cases, the owners were guarding Jane Austen memorabilia that others wished to exploit to create a tourist destination for Austen-philes. Are the two murders linked? The Marshes don't like the coincidence. As they poke into the Luckhurst's murder, the duo threaten to dislodge a great many secrets that some in the modern day would kill to keep in the darkness. "Murder in Abbot's Folly" is one of the most suspenseful of Myers' mysteries. The ending is a bit outlandish. Myers leaves few, if any clues, to the idenitity of the madman who perpetrates the crimes, and the murderer's motives seem improbable causes for murder. Nevertheless, the book is so fine that you won't mind. "Murder in Abbot's Folly" will provide insight into preservation, the greedy human heart, and Jane Austen herself. You won't be sorry you read it.

Old secrets were buried in the beautiful mountain meadow. It was Jamie Taylor and her dog's job to uncover them. Trouble was they dug up some new secrets as well. While some families would find closure, others would soon find their lives ripped apart. Assistant Special Agent in Charge Nicholas Grant becomes embroiled in the case while coming to terms with his own demons. A madman watches from the distance while officials expose his clandestine playground - his private playground - much sooner than he planned. But with any luck, not soon enough. Members Reviews: Ticks all the boxes including HEA! http://tbbmaniacs.wixsite.com/reviews/single-post/2017/02/17/Red-Tide-WriterPeg-Brantley-Narrator-Suzan-Lynn-Lorraine This book ticked all of my boxes including the HEA. The characters are easy to relate to and the story moves at a reasonable pace, keeping the reader guessing. I am a fan of books with short chapters as it encourages the author to keep the story moving and this one does not disappoint. The characters are well-developed, with each having some of their back-story explained, helping the reader to relate more fully to them. As this is the first in the Aspen Thriller series, I am hoping that some of these characters will appear in future novels as it will be interesting to see how their lives progress. Because I love dogs, Im always glad to find an author who includes them in their stories. The three who form an integral part of this story, do not disappoint! I do have one question for the author how does the plane crash fit in? It seems to have no relevance to this story. As an optimist, I hope there will be a link in a future book; however, this loose end needs to be tied. I listened to the audio version of this book narrated by Suzan Lynn Lorraine. It was refreshing to hear a book narrated (read without using different voices) rather than performed, however, the lack of character definition does rate a lower score from me. If you are looking for a mystery / thriller for a lazy Sunday afternoon, this book is for you. Review Rating Writer:: 4/5 Review Rating Narrator:: 3/5 More Information: Published by: Bark Publishing, LLC Published Date: April 30, 2012 Genre: Thriller / Suspense Outstanding...but Red Tide kept me guessing until the very end. This was a wonderful story with true characters intrigue and real-life emotions. The first book by Peg Brantley I read was The Sacrifice. Red Tide is just as riveting. My only and I do mean only complaint about this book is that the ending is too abrupt. I like the circumstances revealed in the ending but so much more could have been said and revealed about how that ending came about. In my humble opinion too much was left unsaid between the end of the conflict and the final resolution. Other than that it's an amazing book that I will definitely recommend and read again.

Al Benelli Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 24 mins Language: English Release date: 03-12-15 Publisher: corsobooks Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 8 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: The British offered Jean Lafitte a Captaincy in the British navy along with extensive lands, titles and $30,000 in gold if he agrees to join with them to fight against the United States. So why does Lafitte refuse their generous offer? In the approaching War of 1812 General Andrew Jackson hasn't any weapons, ammunition or money to fight the British with and no one to turn to for help but the notorious pirate Jean Lafitte. Jackson hates pirates, but he agrees to meet with Lafitte, and he forms an unlikely alliance with the dashing pirate. What changed Jackson's mind about attending the meeting? Before the war begins, Lafitte buries an unusual treasure, one that is sought in the 21st century by two men and a beautiful woman. Julianna Montaigne a direct descendent of Pierre Lafitte has found his diary in her grandfather's old sea man's trunk. The diary has a clue to the treasure. Eddie Calto a New York City firefighter has a second clue left to him by his great-great-grandfather, the two join forces in an attempt to find Lafitte's Treasure. But there are dangerous men who want the treasure for themselves and for 200 years they have waited patiently for anyone seeking Lafitte's Treasure. Members Reviews: Fun Story Wasted What did you like best about Lafitte's Treasure? What did you like least? The plot was interesting enough to keep me listening. The narration was horribly distracting. What do you think your next listen will be? Not sure; I may need to re-listen to Dan Brown or Steve Berry. What didnt you like about A. T. Al Benellis performance? The narrator made the two protagonists sound like a couple of imbeciles. I kept expecting Eddie to say "Tell me 'bout the rabbits, George", and the female protagonist sounded like a really bad impersonation of a 7 year girl that's never left the house. The cadence was more suited for a first grade teacher reading Curious George to her class. Did Lafitte's Treasure inspire you to do anything? Yes, to never again buy Corso book. Any additional comments? The story was interesting enough; Dan Brown would've had a field day with this plot, but this story seemed rushed and almost insultingly simple. There are also blatant inconsistencies and highly improbable legal interpretations that make the story hard to swallow. Great treasure hunting adventure. What made the experience of listening to Lafitte's Treasure the most enjoyable? This story, for me, it has all the vital ingredients, action, adventure, murder, mystery, and romance. This authors attention to detail has meant that he has also added a lot of fascinating history about New Orleans and the famous pirate Jean Lafitte. The icing on the cake was the brilliant narration of A. T. Al Benelli. Have you listened to any of A. T. Al Benellis other performances before? How does this one compare? I have now listened to three of A. T. Benelli's narrations and think he is very talented, he is one narrator who I will be looking out for in the future. Any additional comments? The legacies, left to Eddie, and Julianna, bond them as they embark on their exciting and dangerous adventure.

Meg - an Exile native - was acquitted of her mother's brutal slaying 15 years ago, but many residents still believe in her guilt. As Meg helps a friend find her missing daughter, the bodies start to fall. As enemies begin coming out of the woodwork in the formerly sleepy Texas town, Dan and Meg have to band together for their very survival because there are still long-buried secrets that someone will kill to keep hidden in Exile, Texas. Members Reviews: fast-paced multiple murder mystery In 1984 teenager Megan Leary finds her mother Doris dead. Everyone in Exile believes Megan killed her mother. However, during the trial, someone else confesses he killed the older Leary. Megan flees town, but most townsfolk still believe she is the killer. Fifteen years later Megan returns to her hometown hired by an old friend to look for her missing high school age daughter, Aurelia Galvan. Meg is a licensed sleuth to the chagrin of the local sheriff's department who want her to leave town. Only newcomer Sheriff Deputy Dan Fox acts undisturbed by her activities though he has to rescue a drunken Meg from a deliberately set fire. Together they begin to learn what happened to the vanished teen and to her mother. However, someone wants to keep her ignorant of the truth and begins killing people, who may have been part of a conspiracy of silence. Meg and Dan could easily be next. Though Megan getting drunk even while she needs to maintain her tough girl posture seems out of place except to allow Dan to rescue her, fans will enjoy this crime thriller. Once Meg speeds into town, the story line never eases off the accelerator. Meg is a strong protagonist and a bewildered Dan is an ideal sidekick. Fans will enjoy Roxanne Lomgstreet's fast-paced multiple murder mystery. Harriet Klausner

Title: Gemini Author: Randy Eberle Narrator: Laura Agronick Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 8 mins Language: English Release date: 02-12-15 Publisher: Randy Eberle Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 2 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: Spring, 1987: Justine Knox and her fiancé, Alex Van Huss, exit a dark movie theater and quickly find themselves in the midst of a torrential, Indiana thunderstorm. Trapped outside in the elements, Alex leads Justine on a shortcut through a rundown apartment complex and into their worst nightmare... As the two of them rush through the woods behind the apartment buildings, they come across David Hawkins - a distraught, out-of-his-mind drug addict - burying the bodies of his wife and her lover. Unfortunately for the two young lovers, David Hawkins takes out all of his hate and anger on Justine and Alex. After murdering Alex, David rapes Justine and leaves her for dead... Shortly after the horrible incident in the woods, Justine learns that she is pregnant, and the only man that could possibly have impregnated her is the monster that raped her and killed her fiancé. With the support of her parents, Justine makes the difficult decision to have an abortion... Unbeknownst to Justine, she would have given birth to twins... Spring 2005: Nearly 20 years later, with a new name and a family of her own, Adrienne Morgan (formerly Justine Knox) wants nothing more than to forget that fateful night 18 years in the past. A chance encounter in the local grocery store will shatter all of that... Is Adrienne losing her mind, as her loving husband and children suspect, or is she being haunted: stalked by fragments from her past long dead and buried? Members Reviews: good vs evil Reading Gemini took me back to my earliest days of reading horror in the late 80's and 90's, when authors cared more about plot and character development than shock and awe, back when horror meant more than whatever shtick is in vogue that day. Eberle has brought one of the oldest tropes of all time (i.e., good vs evil, light vs dark) to life in an original and well-developed story that makes the subject matter feel fresh and new. His characters are well-developed and suck you in emotionally so that you are vested enough to want to keep reading, and the plot is paced to a point where you can't put the book down. You want to root for Justine and you want to know what happens to her. But not only is Gemini a great work of horror, it is just plain and simple a great piece of writing in general. Eberle's descriptive imagery and the way he frames each scene seems to ooze off the page with such ease that fellow writers should take notes. As a first novel, it is amazingly well put together and balanced. If it is any indication of future writing, Eberle is on his way to great things, and I for one look forward to reading more. -William Ethan Koron A very interesting g read. I'm giving this novel five stars, even though there were some glaring spelling errors and grammatical mistakes. The reason for five stars is the concept of this novel is somewhat new and rather different than other horror novels. I kind of liked that. There are some things I would change if I were editing this book, but that's just me and doesn't in any way change the story. I'd certainly recommend it to others, and will look for other books by this author. Good job to the author! Like a freight train through a mountain of blood. Gemini takes me back to my days in school reading Stephen King and Clive Barker for the first time, when Horror was new and brutal and terrifying and made you squirm in your seat.

Title: The Ice Queen Author: Nele Neuhaus Narrator: Nicholas Bell Format: Unabridged Length: 14 hrs and 6 mins Language: English Release date: 02-13-15 Publisher: Bolinda Publishing Pty Ltd Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: Holocaust survivor and American citzen Jossi Goldberg is found shot to death execution style in his house near Frankfurt. A five-digit number is scrawled in blood at the murder scene. The autopsy reveals an old tattoo on the corpse's arm--a blood type marker once used by Hitler's SS--causing detectives Pia Kirchhoff and Oliver Bodenstein to question his true identity. Two more murders reveal the connections between the victims. They were all lifelong friends with Vera von Kaltensee, baroness, well-respected philanthropist, and head of an old, rich family that she rules with an iron fist. Pia and Oliver follow the trail, which leads them all the way back to the end of World War II and the area of Poland that then belonged to East Prussia. No one is who he or she claims to be, and things begin to make sense only when the two investigators realise what the bloody number stands for and uncover an old diary and an eyewitness who is finally willing to come forward. The Ice Queen is a compelling mystery about revenge, power, and long-forgotten secrets from a time in German history that still affects the present. Members Reviews: Number Three in a Compelling German Police Procedural Series, BUT ------ This is an exciting (if over the top) thriller in an interesting police procedural series from Germany, but there's a problem: only some of the series is available in English, and what's available isn't in order. According to "Goodreads", there are seven novels in the series. Four are available in English. This ond,"The Ice Queen, is number three: "Snow White Must Die" is number four, "Bad Wolf" number six, "I Am Your Judge" number seven. That means that the first two novels in the series are not available, and that's big weakness. The same two detectives (Pia Kirchoff and Oliver Bodenstein) are the central characters in all the novels, and their lives change over time. Missing the starting point is a bother, as is reading about later events (in "Snow White Must Die") before earlier ones (in "The Ice Queen") . It was all too easy to do, since "Snow White" was the first of the series to appear in English. True compulsives may want to avoid the series until the whole thing is available in English. Those who are less compulsive, and want a compelling read, give it a try. The story begins with the murder of an elderly gentleman believed to be a Holocaust survivor, who turns out to be something rather different: a former SS official. Our detectives are told very firmly to stay very far away from this case: strings are clearly being pulled by powerful people. But when another murder follows -- also of a former SS official -- the case can't be kept off limits. A wealthy and aristocratic family, it becomes clear, is deeply involved, and murder follows murder. Like "Snow White Must Die", this was a hard book to put down, which means that it meets my first requirement for a thriller. It's not, however, as good a book, in my view, as "Snow White Must Die", largely because the story goes so far over the top.

Ochlan Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 3 mins Language: English Release date: 12-19-14 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 10 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: With The Sound of One Hand Clapping, which made him one of Australia's most awarded young writers, Richard Flanagan made his acclaimed American debut. Now he gives us an extraordinary, deeply moving novel as big and brawling, as strange and compelling as the land and people it describes. Beneath a waterfall on a remote Tasmanian mountain river, Aljaz Cosini, river guide, is drowning. Beset by visions at once horrible and fabulous, he relives not just his own life but that of his family and forebears. He sees his father Harry, burying his own father Boy, under a tree that bursts into flowers in midwinter every year after. He sees Boy himself as a young man, working on the river; and his Auntie Ellie, on her way to fetch the doctor for her sick grandchild, chased by a cow she believes is a Werowa spirit. In the rain-forest waters that rush over him he sees those lives stripped of their surface realities, and finds a world where dreaming reasserts its power over thinking, where the branches of his story connect to family stories that are Aboriginal, Celtic, Italian, English, Chinese, and East European; stories that ground him in the land. As the river rises his visions grow more turbulent, and in the flood of the past Aljaz discovers the soul history of his country. An adventure tale that transforms into a spiritual odyssey, by turns earthy, dreaming, comic, tragic, vulgar, and moving, Death of a River Guide is a beautiful, haunting story by one of the world's most exciting young writers. Members Reviews: Never got good As a former river guide I was looking forward to some gripping literature on river visions and such. This book was like 30% a broad tacky account of river guiding and 70% this guy telling about his twisted life. I could have charged $60/hr to listen to that.

Golden Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 14 mins Language: English Release date: 10-28-14 Publisher: Kenneth Eade Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 11 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: Become entangled in a situation of a normal guy forced into being a spy Seth Rogan was a shitty spy. Actually, he wasn't a spy at all. Just a guy trying to do the right thing. As a biologist for the largest biotech company in the world, he had a great job, and thoroughly enjoyed all the perks. But when asked to do some tests on the company's genetically engineered (GMO) foods, he became entangled in a trail of corruption, fraud and conspiracy that he wanted no part of, but could not escape from. In a story of mystery and intrigue so true to life it could almost be from today's newspapers, Seth, having bit the hand who fed him, is on the run from them, and the full overreaching strength of the United States government, not as a whistleblower, but as a fugitive, charged with espionage, who finds temporary refuge with an old enemy of the U.S. But his peace is about to be broken as he finds himself in the role of an involuntary spy. Members Reviews: Interesting but disturbing read If you could sum up An Involuntary Spy: A GMO Thriller in three words, what would they be? To technical but very close to the truth if it were to be known. What did you like best about this story? The humor, how Seth stood up for what he believed in for man kind and would not back down. Which scene was your favorite? When they asked him what his name was and he said Barney and the guy that helped him said come on Barney and turned it into the joke it was. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? The technical part made it a little boring, but I felt this is our future sad but true so I felt a lose for those who will come after me and what their life will be like. Any additional comments? I thought this had an outstanding plot and more real than we could even think. The author points at the end I agree with a lot of what he said. I almost put it down when it got so technical and I felt it was over my head. I felt the author could have got the point across better had he toned it down a little. With that said if you take most of the technical out it was an outstanding read. With some wonderful characters and a few twist you do not see coming. Others you expect but there is a few in there I thought would go another way. Once I over looked the technical things I really enjoyed the listen. I thought the narrator has a smooth voice and I did enjoy listening to him. I felt he brought out the tones great for the characters. I really liked Seth and a few others. There are a few wonderful characters that you grow to care about. Some that will surprised you I know they did me. Honestly if I had read this and not listen to it on audio I would have skip a lot of it. Listening to it on audio I feel sure made this a much better read. The author does give us a powerful message and one that you might want to take a look at. Seth is a bad spy but gets his points across and doesn't back down from what he believes in. I am sure I wouldn't have done half as good as he did when push came to shove. He might be a little nerdy but his heart is in the right place and really all he wants to do what is best for the world while living a quite life.GMO in foods should be everyone's worry and is something we should read up on.

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 41 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: Casey and Death are on the run again. This time, Casey needs to make her disappearance permanent. After obtaining a new identity and throwing herself off the grid, she travels to Florida to begin life as Daisy Gray, fitness instructor for a moneyed, enclosed community. But even while keeping her head down, it doesnt take long for Casey to find herself in the middle of trouble. One of the residents is attacked, and Casey is the one to find her, bleeding, on the floor of the locker room. Despite heroic attempts to save her, she dies, and the community is thrown into turmoil. The cops are at a loss, unable to find anyone who might want the woman dead. Despite Deaths encouragement to get the hell out of Dodge, or, er, Florida, Casey feels partially responsible and wont let the murderer get away with it. Besides, where else is she going to go? Is she going to abandon this life so soon and try to forge another? Casey takes a careful look at the victims life. Who could possibly want such a nice, friendly woman dead? Could it be Del, the extremely muscular man from the weight room? Could it be Krystal, the victims so-called best friend and the resident hottie? And what about Maria, the receptionist, whose key card was used to access the locker room late at night? And what, if anything, do Caseys redecessors in her new job have to do with it? Casey must find out, even with Death on her back. Critic Reviews: "Most readers will find themselves thoroughly entertained by this oddly appealing mix of the jaunty and the macabre." (Booklist) Members Reviews: Can't wait for the next one I wish the next book was already available. This is one of the best series I have ever read. As a character, Death is an unlikely source of comic relief and reality. The lead character, Casey, is running from griefand refuses to confront some very serious problems. I love that Casey is not homeless and living on the fringe of society. It's a nice way to bring her back to her own world. I can not wait for the next installment. Judy Clemens is one of my favorite authors. Couldn't stop listening! I thought this one was much better than the first two books in the series. Better story and faster paced. Loved it! Another Great Book in the Death Series. Loved the book! The narrator was engaging and was consistent with the characters' voices. Now to move on to the next (last?) book. Already downloading the next in the series!! I'm really enjoying this series - as I said in the title I'm already downloading the next book (Dying Echo) and hopefully it won't be the last. I love Tavia Gilbert's narration and that's originally how I found this series, I like searching for books not only by my favourite authors but my favourite narrators. Tavia does another great job with the Grim Reaper series. In this book Casey continues her travels and lands herself amidst another drama. I've really come to love the relationship Casey has with Death and the conversations between them.

Hall Narrator: Ed Sala Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs Language: English Release date: 01-26-10 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 20 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: Earl Hammond, the wealthy patriarch of a family of ranchers, lies dead, shot just as he was to donate his Coquina Ranch to the state to preserve it from developers. Spearheading the plan to save this environmental treasure was Thorn, a reluctant heir to a secret family fortune, who now finds himself in terrible danger as well. A pair of deviant brothers, both contract killers, kidnap and imprison him in a sinkhole - a dungeon from which there is no escape. But Frisco Hammond, the dark sheep of the family, is drawn into the investigation of his father's murder and Thorn's disappearance. He suspects the crimes are related. Helping him is his brother's beautiful, troubled wife, Clare. They uncover a trail that leads back to the 1930s, to a cabal of powerful and rich men with a sinister plan. Silencer pits brother against brother and wife against husband in a thriller that proves once again that James W. Hall is "a master of suspense" (Publishers Weekly). Members Reviews: Excellent Unique plot and exquisite character development and behavior consistency. I love the intensity of the bad guy behavior. Great story, can't stand the narrator! Would you listen to Silencer again? Why? Yes because the narration was very poorly done. Have to continually go back and pick up details. See note below. What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike? Narrator's voice wore me slick! Almost irritating. No ability to inflect his voice to differietiate between characters. Made it hard to follow. Any additional comments? I would not purchase any other books by this narrator.

Things have never been better for the Corleones. They've won the war, taken out their rivals, and legitimised the Family. Michael Corleone and Tom Hagen ¿ Vito Corleone's adopted son, and the glue that holds the family together ¿ are closer than they've ever been. But one problem remains. Michael has sworn revenge upon the traitorous former Corleone capo, Nick Geraci. Up until now, Geraci, who has powerful friends and far too much to say, has evaded Michael's grasp. One night, as fireworks begin to explode over First Avenue, there is news that Jimmy Shea, president of the United States, has been assassinated. Was another mob family involved? Or did the Corleones have a hand in the killing of their old friend? The Godfather's Revenge is the incredible story of the "lost years" in the Corleone saga: 1963-78, about which virtually nothing has ever been said, filmed, or written. This is the book that brings the saga full cycle. Members Reviews: Not Very Good Waste of time. Five Stars It's great Love it! One of the best Godfather novels ever! I give it five stars! The best book ever published! First rate awesome! Very well written with terrific time-period details Having read ALL other related works from both authors, I found the The Godfather's Revenge the most satisfying of all. Great time period piece that concluded a hanging edge I had about the whole Godfather saga. Terrific details about poor Fredo that were discovered for the first time; and how his story was so centeral to the whole, wonderful "Family" -Quick read for me, and I'm a slow reader, HA!. Keeping Up With The Corleone's I have nothing negative to say about this book. I love the Corleone family and have the entire collection from The Godfather to The Godfather's Revenge. Book came sooner then expected in perfect condition. No bent corners on the cover nor the pages themselves. Good buy.

Title: I Heard That Song Before Subtitle: A Novel Author: Mary Higgins Clark Narrator: Jan Maxwell Format: Abridged Length: 4 hrs and 47 mins Language: English Release date: 11-15-08 Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 8 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: Kay Lansing grew up in Englewood, New Jersey, daughter of the landscaper to the wealthy and powerful Carrington family. One day, accompanying her father to work, six-year-old Kay overhears a quarrel between a man and a woman that ends with the man's caustic response: "I heard that song before." That same evening, young Peter Carrington drives the 19-year-old daughter of neighbors home from a formal dinner dance at the Carrington estate, but she is not in her room the next morning and is never seen or heard from again. Decades later, a cloud of suspicion hangs over Peter, not only for his neighbor's disappearance but also for the subsequent drowning death of his own pregnant wife in their swimming pool. But when Kay Lansing, now a librarian in Englewood, asks Peter's permission to hold a literary benefit cocktail party on his estate, she comes to see Peter as misunderstood and when he begins to court her, she falls in love -- and marries him. However, she soon makes a discovery that leads her to question her husband's innocence. She believes that the key to the truth lies in the identities of the man and woman whose quarrel she witnessed as a child. What she does not realize is that uncovering what lies behind these memories may cost Kay her life. Members Reviews: Pretty good who done it I had a hard time keeping track of all the people and events in the beginning. The first of the book was way too slow but the end was great. Five Stars The book was a great read. Kept you trying to figure out who did it. Five Stars Another very good read from MHC. Another Fabulous Story From Mary Higgins Clark Yet again, Mary Higgins Clark has come up with a fabulous story that keeps you entangled to the very end...I just couldn't put it down... Another great book from the Queen of Mystery Kay Lansing wants to know who she heard when she was a child in a chapel, and if her husband is involved. This book, the latest from Mary Higgins Clark, is a thrilling story. Clark continues her reign as the queen of mystery, although this isn't my favorite of her books. Her characters are well developed and the plot flows nicely. My own complaint is with the new use of first person- Clark began using it in her last novel, and to me it detracts from the otherwise great story.

For the past 15 years, Ian has been haunted by the murder of his family. Believed by many to be the culprit, he has lived life on the run. 15 years is too long. Now, he's returned to the ruins of his childhood and the rural countryside, he once called home, to say his goodbye and get revenge against the horrific creatures that live in the field. It's time. Members Reviews: Weird... So, what started as a kids, goosebumps-type, story ended up as a gory, definitely adult story. Creepy and nostalgic, and well read.i don't know what else to say, except that it exceeded my expectations, while still managing to shock me. An excellent modern fairytale, in the sense of the grimmest of the Grimm's. An Awesome Surprise I thoroughly enjoyed this short horror/paranormal thriller! Rick Gregory always delivers a fantastic performance and Kevin Millikin weaves a bizarre and enthralling story of familial love, loss and revenge. A man accused of murdering his family journeys home to confront his past and seek vengeance on those actually responsible for the horrific event. I would recommend this book to any friends who enjoy the horror/thriller genre! I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher. Powerful emotions and a final twist Something happened when Ian was still a child, and he was blamed about it. Something that has been with him since then. His only choice is going back where it all started. This is a short story about a man who needs to face his past. The story is very well and richly told. It was easy to connect to Ian and understand his motivations. At times the emotions transmitted were very strong, and the story kept me on the edge of my seat. There is a twist that I didnt see coming. I personally didnt really enjoy this turn of things, but Im sure it will delight others. Rick Gregory delivered a great narration, transmitting Ians powerful emotions, keeping my attention until the very end with a very clear speech. The only setback were a couple of noticeable audio edits, but technically the rest of the audio production was fine. I received a copy of this book in audio format from the narrator in exchange for an honest review. Paranormal Revenge Story I'm a sucker for revenge stories ever since I read The Count of Monte Cristo. This was a short and sweet story of revenge. Revenge on the paranormal is gory and brutal. A lot of times I say I wish that story were longer, this one wasn't that way at all. Perfect length for this story. Another great read by Rick Gregory. I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher. I wasn't expecting vampires.. Ian has lead a self destructive life since his family was killed when he was a teen and sets out to get revenge on the ones responsible which happen to be vampires.. Mmm... Okay.. Was this a young adult title? If I were a young teen, I would have loved this but as an adult, the story was lacking depth and creativity. It was mildly entertaining for a quick story. As for the reader.. Well, I think i detected a bit of a Wisconsin accent and I suggest he try to lose it. Other than that not too bad. Aside from a bit of bad language, I recommend this for tween/teens.

My only c/o is that one of the discs had a problem and one chapter while listening had a lot of skips present. Nothing visible to naked eye as to what problem might be. Remainder of discs all good and able to finish book. I would definitely recommend this book highly This novel kept me interested from the first chapter to the last page!

A woman with a sordid history, Kate is trying to make up for past mistakes. She teams up with the unlikeliest of partners in her mission: Lyle Goldman, the application developer who designed the drone software. He's her only hope of finding a way to shut down the mercenaries and figure out who is behind the attack. Unfortunately, Lyle is also being hunted by the FBI in connection with the stolen software and is being framed for the crime. Can they stop this attack and clear Lyle's name before it is too late? Members Reviews: Short Techno-Thriller Rivals Full Length Novel! This fast paced techno-thriller may be short, but delivers an action packed, thought provoking plot with intense pulse pounding moments, humor and interesting characters. It has all the classic elements for a awesome thriller, kidnappings, double crossing, computer hacking, and a devious plot, but also adds in refreshing twists, drones and a couple of unlikely heroes. I find audios under five hours can be hit or miss, and this was a hit! For a short story, Lincoln Cole delivered a well written plot that rivals full length novels. I loved how Lincoln took the concept of a drone hi-jacking to use in an attack and ran with it. Drones are becoming increasingly popular, and it's a little scary, and not too far fetched to imagine this new technology being used to carry out attacks. This story follows several different characters. Two team up in an unconventional way to work together to stop a group of mercenaries from obtaining their goal. It's fast paced, never dull, and has great characters. Kate was my favorite, I loved all her dry humor. The narration was fantastic! The editing wasn't a 100% perfect; however, Stephanie Dillard's performance was stunning, lively, had a great pace, brought each word to life, and she nailed all the accents! I received this audio in exchange for an honest review. Overall, it's a great audio, fast paced, well worth the time, and an awesome KU/whispersync deal! Fast Paced! Action Packed!! This story may be on the shorter side but it's packed full of action, fast paced, and never a dull moment! Lincoln Cole doesn't waste anytime getting to the point with this one and grabs the listener right from the start. The story follows several characters and groups as each have their own agenda, some more evil than others. Kate our lead character has been doubled crossed but is determined to stop them. She was tough as nails, smart and hilarious! I loved all her witty sarcastic remarks. Stephanie Dillard did a great job with the narration and brought the story to life. This story was surprisingly better than I expected and very entertaining to listen too. I received this audio in exchange for an honest review. A fairly short action packed book Any additional comments? I was offered a copy of this book in audio format from the author in exchange for an honest review. A band of mercenaries kidnap two drone operators and gets access to a software to control drones all over the world.

Twenty years ago 21-year-old Sophie Collier vanished one night. She left nothing behind but a trainer on the old pier - and a hole in the heart of her best friend, Francesca. Now a body's been found. And Francesca's drawn back to the seaside town she's tried to forget. Perhaps the truth of what happened to Sophie will finally come out. Yet Francesca is beginning to wish she hadn't returned. Everywhere she turns are ghosts from her past. The same old faces and familiar haunts of her youth. But if someone knows what really happened to Sophie that night then now's the time to find out - isn't it? Except sometimes discovering the truth can cost you everything you hold dear - your family, your sanity and even your life.... Critic Reviews: "Compelling and page-turning, wonderfully written and impossible to second guess with a brilliant twist." (Debbie Howells, best-selling author of Richard and Judy selection The Bones of You) Praise for The Sisters: "Grippingly claustrophobic and unpredictable on every page: perfect for fans of The Girl on the Train." (Marie Claire) "Tension oozes from every page...[an] addictive read that will leave you on the edge of your seat." (Sun) "As soon as I finished the first page, I knew I wouldn't be able to put this down.... I thoroughly enjoyed it." (Good Housekeeping) "Unforgettably dark and complex." (Woman & Home) Members Reviews: great thriller. great murder mystery story, intriguing twists and turns. very well read and performed. loved it. Couldn't stop listening returning as disliked so much The storyline was not good enough to pull me through the dreadful narration by Hannah Murray. Never before have I heard anyone who simultaneously managed to gabble and drawl all at the same time. I found it so bad I was unable to make it through to the end. Emilia Fox was fine, but oh dear - no more Hannah Murray for me! Mostly enjoyable story and a great plot twist A good story but it took a while to get going. I almost gave up on this as it got very dreary in the middle. I persevered because I'm reluctant to leave things unfinished, the setting was a familiar one to me (a very British seaside town) and I was drawn back to some of the characters. I thought I'd guessed the ending but I was wrong, and then very wrong! Some reviewers have observed that the ending was too convenient but I thought it was quite clever. The narration was good, it needed the two different voices, though the male voices didn't come across too well. I can't listen ! I am sure the story is really good, but sadly the narrator, who has a lovely speaking voice, speaks like she is talking to a not terribly bright child. I tried gtitting my teeth, but it was (in my opinion) so irritating that I couldn't listen to it. my advice - it may not bother you, but listen to a clip first. Gripping!!! What a gripping read! So good to listen to, lots of twists in the tale. Highly recommend!!

Blind psychiatrist Mark Angelotti has just enrolled in a drug trial that holds out hope of restoring his eyesight when he again becomes entangled in a case that is rocking the Chicago legal community. After defending the manufacturer of the powerful antipsychotic drug Lucitrol against product-liability claims, attorney Jane Barrett has become somewhat of an expert on the controversial medication. So when her lover, investigative journalist Rory Gallagher, collapses from a fatal dose of the same drug, it falls to Hallie Sanchez, Barrett's oldest friend, to defend her on murder charges. Amid growing doubts about her friend's innocence, Hallie recruits Mark Angelotti to help her discredit the testimony of a crucial eyewitness. The pair succeeds in obtaining Barrett's release - but at a dreadful price. Mark sets out to investigate who else may have wanted the journalist out of the way. As he gets closer to the truth, he realizes the killer is still on the loose. But two questions remain for Mark: Will the drug trial succeed in restoring his eyesight? More important, will he live long enough to see this case to its end? Members Reviews: Mark Angelotti's triumphant return Lynne Raimondo's second Mark Angelotti novel (following her outstanding debut "Dante's Wood") finds the blind psychiatrist enrolled in a clinical study of a drug that could restore his sight. Mark becomes engaged as an expert witness in a legal case after an investigative reporter dies and the reporter's lover, high-powered attorney Jane Barrett, is charged with his murder. It turns out that Barrett was representing a mega-drug company of questionable ethics. Mark begins uncovering the truth about the murder, at great risk to himself and to his romantic interest, Hallie Sanchez, who's defending her friend Jane on the murder charges. One of the many things I love about the Angelotti series is Raimondo's remarkable ability to credibly portray a blind sleuth -- a formidable task for a writer. In Dante's Poison, Mark's inability to see is critical to the plot but also organic and never obtrusive. More than that, the novel is a compelling mystery. Raimondo deftly ties several apparently distinct story threads together in a coherent, satisfying, and totally unexpected ending. And as with her first novel, Raimondo's writing is topnotch, often witty and often deadly serious. I highly recommend "Dante's Poison." This series was recommended to me and I have to say I had ... This series was recommended to me and I have to say I had trouble getting through it because the main character is such a whiner. psychiatry and spot-on Chicago tone and location is an excellent ride. Mark Angoletti Totally enjoyable Chicago read! Raimondo's blend of detective intrigue, law, psychiatry and spot-on Chicago tone and location is an excellent ride. Mark Angoletti, the main character, solves crimes as he deals with his own disability and clients--- the way he navigates through his complicated life is fascinating. Angelotti has flaws and demons; he also has heart and heightened perceptions that make for a complex character who develops as the plots evolve. Looking forward to more from Lynne Raimondo! Bravissima, Ms.

A chance discovery concerns her: a severed foot, well away from the main crash site. A deserted house close by is buried so deep in the woods that locals claim to know nothing of its existence. And her examination of the foot throws up more questions than answers. Before she can make any progress Tempe's professional standing is threatened. But she fears that, air tragedy aside, another corpse lies somewhere in the woods. Pitting herself against a conspiracy of silence, Tempe vows to bring justice for her mystery victim. Members Reviews: Fatally unput downable! In Fatal Voyage Tempe finds an old foot bone mixed with the human remains of a plane crash site she is helping with. As a result of meddling by prominent members of the community, she is ordered of the case. Bones refuses to give up and investigates anyway. Kate Harper delivers a great performance which makes Fatal Voyage by Kathy Reichs fatally unput downable. Interesting enough to compel me to go on What did you love best about Fatal Voyage? I've read almost all of the Kathy Reichs books and they are like an old friend now. What other book might you compare Fatal Voyage to and why? They are a bit like Patricia Cornwalls Scarpetta books, same kind of main character but Tempe is less pretentious. Did Kate Harper do a good job differentiating all the characters? How? I don't really like her voice but it forced me to think of the main character as different from the one I heard in my head when I read them. If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be? A really bad few days at the office. Another great book Fantastic book. Great story line and great ending. Couldn't stop listening. Kathy reichs never disappoints. Involving, interesting and enjoyable! What more could you ask! Possibly not for the uber squeamish! Well written and very well read - an enjoyable way to spend a few hours. disappointed I found the performance and text jarring. illogical reactions by the characters felt unnaturally awkward.

Title: Bloodlines Subtitle: An Irene Kelly Novel Author: Jan Burke Narrator: Eliza Foss Format: Unabridged Length: 21 hrs and 6 mins Language: English Release date: 05-05-10 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 54 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: Effortlessly weaving plot threads from three different eras, Burke constructs a brilliant tale of kidnapping and murder that spans 40 years and features three dedicated, passionate journalists struggling to tie everything together. Critic Reviews: this is an extremely satisfying work. (Publishers Weekly) Members Reviews: Excellent Crime Novel This is a very entertaining crime saga. It begins in 1958 with a multiple murder and kidnapping and then flashes back to 1936 where we are introduced to newspaper man Jack Corrigan and newsboy Connor O'Conner. The mystery then unfolds over the ensuing 65+ years. The story is set in the fictional California coastal city of Las Piernas. The author does a great job of showing how the newspaper business changed over time. The same is true for police investigative techniques and tools. After listening to this book, I discovered that newspaperwoman Irene Kelly, who does not show up in the book until the 1970s is the main character in a number of other books by the same author. What this books does is fill in some of the history of Las Piernas and the newspaper beginning in the 1930s. It's an excellent listen with a good reader. Oh my goodness!! I just finished Bloodlines. What a great, well written story!!. The narration was also excellent! I'm going to use my credits this month to download more books by this author. Loved It!! Really good read overall Really enjoyed this book. Good suspense and character development. There were some weak spots but ss a whole well worth a listen slow starter but keep at it At the beginning I was almost ready to see about returning this book. After the first part it got my attention. While it is somewhat contrived and some of the bad guys are a little too stupid I found it worth the time to listen to the end. Its all about the Characters, and the Story Too! Since I wrote a note of dissatisfaction with Jan Burke's first book, received a refund and then bought it back again, I have become addicted to her books. I walk on the beach every day, working on my badly broken knee and learning about each of the significant characters in this Irene Kelly series. In this larger work, we see events that occurred prior to Irene's birth and see how they became intertwined with the lives that followed. We love O'Conner more than ever and Jack and Helen as well. This is the best of Burk so far; I'm taking them one at a time, from the beginning, skipping nothing, and savoring every bit. I don't have any complaints about this one and have a growing respect for the evolution of this mystery writer as well as the tremendous skills of Eliza Foss.

Disgraced reporter Gus Carpenter returns home to his small town and becomes embroiled in a murder investigation. ©2009 Bryan Gruley; (P)2009 Recorded Books, LLC Critic Reviews: "[Starvation Lake] deserves comparison with Dennis Lehane's Mystic River" (Booklist, starred review) Members Reviews: Wordy and slow The plot and writing were tedious and dull.The plot is paper thin and padded with play hy play hockey games. Instead of tension, the author caused the cardboard characters to stutter endlessly. The only reason I hot through this was the outstanding narration. Slow, juvenile and in desperate need of an editor What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you? I know that there's a story hidden in there somewhere but it's lost behind characters with no appeal, interminable and terrible descriptions of the game of hockey as well as a lousy narrator. While there is no reason to rush through the story, getting bogged down in this as well as detailed descriptions of how many ingredients are on each forkful of the narrator's egg pie is just too much. There is more flab in this writing that in a lawyer's letter. Would you ever listen to anything by Bryan Gruley again? I doubt it. Would you be willing to try another one of Rich Orlows performances? Perhaps. If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Starvation Lake? I would cut MOST of the juvenile descriptions of hockey, in part because they are written by someone who has no feel for the game and in part because they add nothing to the story. Good tale, mediocre reader. It's a great tale, unfortunately the reader seemed very slow - didn't really fit with my personal taste in readers. There would be extremely long (almost painful) pauses in between dialog occasionally. It was a little strange. But it's a great story. I tried and tried... I understood that this novel had won an Edgar award - and they rarely let me down. I tried four times to get involved with this story and I never even finished the first part of the tape. It is very focused on hockey, too. That probably only annoyed me because I was so bored. Dumb as a hockey puck Far too much high school hockey "glory years" and if you write mystery I would expect that you would have some knowledge of criminal law, police procedures, misdemeanors versus felonies, warrants & do you think police have time & resources to have roadblocks & manhunts for insignificant misdemeanors? Purloining telephone messages?

Title: Lestrade and the Sign of Nine Author: M J Trow Narrator: M J Trow Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 52 mins Language: English Release date: 04-09-09 Publisher: ISIS Audio Books Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 11 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: And six others are to join them before our intrepid inspector brings the perpetrator to book. Lestrade braves haunted houses, machine-gun bullets and two Home Secretaries in his headlong hunt for the truth. Members Reviews: listen marred by racist humour This could have been a very entertaining Victorian detective farce with a chance to chuckle at Holmes for a change, but the good humour was spoiled early in the listen by scattered, weaker and shabbier lines playing off ethnic stereotypes and mild homophobia (Holmes: "We're looking for two men; Watson: Speak for yourself, sir!") ; THEN the author really crossed a line in the last 30-45 minutes with a denouement dependant on men in blackface, frequently referred to as "coons" and another word I won't reproduce. This was set in Victoria England where such language and attitudes would have existed, but this is not a work of literary realism -- and I saw no social satire as the point of the situations - If the author was attempting satire, he wasn't successful in those parts. Narration: I was prepared to like the author's style because he brought so much life to the voices, that is, if he slowed down and used a decongestant rather than sniffling through the last quarter; however, I could not support the author of such humour by purchasing more of his work. Classic Detective Plus Funny I have read a few of this series and while they were all good this was the funniest. There are so many comic moments and puns slipped into the text that even on a second or third listen you'll find new things to smile or laugh at. The actual story sees Lestrade start out by shooting himself in the leg and then, as usual, he and those around him pick up a series of other injuries throughout the book. There are lots of murders, lots of excellent accents and a fair few twists. The narrator is also the author and unlike some memorable others this isn't out of vanity. He genuinely reads the stories very well. Performance great. Story Marred by racist language Story and performance excellent. I accept story reflects a direct time however felt it was unnecessary for writer to use racist language. the bodies mount up Any additional comments? another good story from m.j.trow. a puzzling investigation for lestrade to figure out literally as a piece of paper with a drawing is found near every body. as in previous books a few people of the time crop up, the real ones being wilkie Collins and William morris whilst the literary Sherlock holmes and dr Watson appear too. well written, with funny bits, and performed by m.j. trow I am loving this series. recommend.

Rider Haggard; (P)2000 Books in Motion Members Reviews: Excellent Narration The narrator for this book is very good. He uses distinct voices for all the characters and makes the book a pleasure to listen to. I gave the book 4 stars because while it was good I personally don't judge it a classic, which is where I found it on Audible. The story is fast moving with lots of action. A True Clasic.... I read this book years ago, and loved it. It has every thing from adventure and treachery in the jungles of Africa, to a civil war and a huge battle... What more could you ask for in When I found it on audible, I had to get it, and LOVE IT!!! enjoyable it was enjoyable listening, a little difficult to follow the story when broke up into multiple listening periods, but enjoyable over all Boys? Own Adventure This is a real ?Boys? Own Adventure? with heroes and villains, battles and treasure but no kissing! The language is a little dated but if one accepts it for what it is, a tale from the days of the British Empire, it is not cringe worthy. Despite having an East Coast of America accent, Jack Sondericker narrates this superbly. There are ?noises off? as pages are turned but it almost adds to the effect of having this read to one by a favourite great uncle, sitting in a big leather chair by a roaring fire. I very much enjoyed this utterly uncomplicated book but, and I am sorry for being a bit sexist here, would recommend it more to the chaps than the girls! At the price, it is superb value.

I was trained to be a hit man known as the Reaper. I was the best at what I did, but things eventually went sideways. By sheer force of will, I managed to get away and start over. Everything was great, until my past caught up with me. They took my friend... That was a mistake! The Reaper is coming, and nothing on earth can stand in my way! This is the debut novel from authors Troy Pendleton and Charles Little. It was edited and published by New Legend Books & Comics. Dead or Alive: The Reaper's Redemption would be a welcome addition to the library of those who follow authors such as Elmore Leonard, Christopher Greyson, and John C. Dalglish. Members Reviews: Incredible story I would recommend this book to those who enjoy a good, wholesome story. There is no foul language which is a great change! Troy and Charles did an awesome job in character development. When is the movie coming out?? Two Stars Not my type of story. Great read Good read, suspenseful, great plot. Surprise ending. You could actually visualize what was going on through out the story. Great very good read it's captivating and you don't want to set ... very good read it's captivating and you don't want to set it down, it's an exciting book yet it's wholesome.I would highly recommend it! Redemption Is Calling I just finished reading "Dead or Alive: The Reaper's Redemption" and really enjoyed the book! I wasn't sure what to expect at first, but quickly found myself engaged in the story of Ray Mattax and his personal story of Redemption. The characters were well developed with a great back story and questions and lose ends that came up during the story we're tied up in the end. I really enjoyed Ray's journey and how the author's, found a creative way to interweave Ray's past life, present life, friends and family into the tale of his Redemption and coming to accept Christ and therefore take him into his new life. I would recommend this book the everyone. The book does appeal to people with traditional values and most importantly Christian Values. However, that is something everyone can benefit from. If you're not a Christian this book can help you to understand God's saving Grace. If you've ever done things that in your mind seem horribly wrong and you cannot be redeemed from, this book helps you to understand how far God's grace reaches. If you're a Christian and you're struggling with why God allows certain things to happen, this book can help you to examine things from God's point of view and begin to see how "God works together all things for the good of those who love Him." In closing, the story had a great message about redemption and salvation that can be found through trusting Christ. Sometimes the message of salvation is so simple that many cannot wrap their mind around why God would want to go to such lengths to have a relationship with them. The Reaper's Redemption will keep you on the edge of your seat and rooting for Ray as he discovers who he is truly called to be!

Title: The Black Painting Author: Neil Olson Narrator: Emily Woo Zeller Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 46 mins Language: English Release date: 01-09-18 Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers Limited Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: An enthralling, well-written mystery for listeners who enjoyed The Keeper of Lost Things and The Improbability of Love. A dead body. A family torn apart. Someone is lying. Years ago, a forgotten Goya masterpiece was stolen from Teresa's family home, a crumbling mansion at Owl's Point. Ever since, Teresa has stayed away, terrified of the rumours surrounding the Black Painting and the jealous accusations that tore apart her family. Now her grandfather has summoned his descendants back to the mansion to discuss his will, and Teresa knows she has no choice except to return. But when she arrives, she finds the door hanging open and her grandfather dead, his eyes open and staring at the empty space where the Goya once hung. Someone in the family is lying, but will Teresa unravel the mystery of the missing painting before it is too late? Members Reviews: the black painting "The Black Painting" follows the Morse clan, as narrated by granddaughter Teresa, after Alfred, the patriarch of the family, is found dead, with an expression of horror in his eyes, staring at the place where the mysterious and cursed Goya painting used to hang, but was stolen several years prior. A fight immediately commences over his estate, with his son Philip (Teresa's uncle) re-hiring art theft investigator Dave to try to find it. Meanwhile, Teresa is to stay at the house as she has been appointed executor for the arts portion of the estate. Problem is, that Teresa is sensitive and not privy to the secrets of the other family members swirling around her, kept both by her uncle Fred (a financial entrepreneur who has a habit for gambling with money), uncle Philip (an attorney who has been accused of being involved in the theft of the painting by the very man he hired to investigate the theft), as well as their children and Teresa's cousins--dark-tempered Ken, not-to-be-trusted Audrey, and strange James. The story is interspersed between Teresa's chapters, and the investigator's, Dave's, chapters. It would have been helpful to have a family tree diagram at the beginning of the book, but overall I managed to get used to the characters--you just have to pay attention when they're introduced. The first three fourths of the book were well-done, but I found the resolution not as satisfying. It is unpredictable, but a bit too coincidental for my taste. I also don't like it when all the characters sort of randomly show up at the same time. Otherwise, a very well written story, with a bit of art-history involving Goya along the way. If Agatha Christie Had Written "The Fall of the House of Usher" This was atmospheric and well-written in a modern-Gothic-literary style. It's a "psychological thriller" in the sense that every single character could have benefited from psychotherapy. But even though I'm usually deeply uninterested in such books, this one had such a nice handle on dark moodiness, such nutsy characters, and so much lurking in the gloom that I had to keep going with it. Taking a cue from lots of other comments, I read the first quarter of the book closely in order to get all of the characters and the main plot threads, cheat-skimmed the middle, and then cut to the final fifty pages for all of the revelations, solutions, resolutions, recriminations and gunfire. It was a fun ride. You start with ten little Indians. Four cousins at the bottom.

La culpabilité de Dolores semble ne faire aucun doute, pourtant l'horreur n'est pas simplement dans le geste criminel mais plutôt dans tout ce qui, années après années, a pu porter une telle noirceur dans l'existence de ces femmes. ©1993 Albin Michel (P)2010 Éditions Thélème Avis des membres: The youthful sounding Élodie I only mention the youthfulness of the narrator's voice because I am still learning French. So having the voice of a 63 year old character in the book read by someone as youthful sounding as is Élodie's, it took some getting used to. In comparison, I was simultaneously using an English version of the book, also available on audible.com for the translation. The English version's reader was deftly able to reproduce the exact sounding fit for the Dolores Claiborne character.

As Nick rockets toward the truth, peeling back layer after layer of lies and deception, only one thing is certain: the long-buried secret, tied to the traumas of his own past, threatens his life at every turn. Critic Reviews: "Hurwitz's intelligent, skillfully plotted thriller, with its clever mystery and undercurrent of menace, is a gripping read." (Sunday Telegraph on I See You) "A thrilling, mind- bending journey, it is also deeply humane and beautifully written. You'll turn the final page with profound regret." (Dennis Lehane on I See You) Members Reviews: Excellent thriller Really enjoyed this book. Narration was spot on and easy to listen to. Too often American thrillers can be overlong,overwritten and badly in need of the blue pencil, however this novel was beautifully judged - I really felt for our hero and although I guessed some of the main plot, still found the denouement interesting and exciting. I'm looking forward to reading other books by this author. Love these books!! This book kept me entertained the whole way through. This writer is able to vary every book so much that not one is the same and never dull. Can't wait for the next one!!! Compulsive listen, couldnt stop Fast paced, great characters well read, great plot with plenty to ponder as it twisted & turned...nothing to not like. Awesome book!

In the Port Macquarie penal settlement for second offenders, at the edge of the known world, gentleman convict Hugh Monsarrat hungers for freedom. Originally transported for forging documents passing himself off as a lawyer, he is now the trusted clerk of the settlement's commandant. His position has certain advantages, such as being able to spend time in the Government House kitchen, being supplied with outstanding cups of tea by housekeeper Hannah Mulrooney, who, despite being illiterate, is his most intelligent companion. Not long after the commandant heads off in search of a rumoured river, his beautiful wife, Honora, falls ill with a sickness the doctor is unable to identify. When Honora dies, it becomes clear she has been slowly poisoned. Monsarrat and Mrs Mulrooney suspect the commandant's second-in-command, Captain Diamond, a cruel man who shares history with Honora. Then Diamond has Mrs Mulrooney arrested for the murder. Knowing his friend will hang if she is tried, Monsarrat knows he must find the real killer. And so begins The Monsarrat Series.

What other book might you compare The Soldier's Curse to, and why? No comparison. Thomas and Meg Keneally stand alone. Have you listened to any of Paul Englishs other performances? How does this one compare? No. A colourful reader with the amazing talent of characterisation. Keneally's have brought to life the convict era What made the experience of listening to The Soldier's Curse the most enjoyable? The story line is a beautiful blend of fiction and non-fiction What did you like best about this story? The attention to detail on what it was like to live in the early 1800's in convict Australia What does Paul English bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you had only read the book? Paul's voices for each character brings believability to the whole story Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? Could not say it made me laugh or cry, but you could feel the 'deadened' emotions of the convicts Any additional comments? Cannot wait until book 2 Gripping historical novel I was enthralled by The Soldier's Curse. Well researched and also entertaining. The reader was superb.

It's the same each time. A woman's body is found with a ticking stopwatch clutched in her dead hand. A distraught father must find his child before the boy suffocates - and the killer takes his left eye. Alexander Zorbach, a washed-up cop turned journalist, has reported all three of the Eye Collector's murders. But this is different. His wallet has been found next to the corpse, and now he's a suspect. The Eye Collector wants Zorbach to play. Zorbach has exactly 45 hours, seven minutes to save a little boy's life. And the countdown has started.... Sebastian Fitzek has worked as a journalist and an author for radio and TV stations all around Europe and is now head of programming at RTL, Berlin's leading radio station. His first and subsequent novels have become huge best sellers in Germany, and he is currently working on his fifth. Members Reviews: Fails to deliver Any additional comments? I return very few books but this is one of them. Good title and premise but that's it. Writing is repetitious and infomercial like: wait, there is more! I never felt a connection with any of the characters and didn't care what happened to them. Reader did the best he could with the story he was given. In a way it also assumes the reader is a bit dull - too much explanation. Fitzek does it again! I buy anything Fitzek writes sight unseen because he is that good. You will not be disappointed, and you won't see it coming either. FITZEK IS BRILLIANT! Any additional comments? Tick, Tock, Tick, Tock......Time is running out for Zorbach. He is on the hunt for the eye collector who has brought him into his sick game of kidnapping and murder. Zorbach, doesn't know what hit him. He is all of the sudden the prime suspect in a kidnapping case. He gets a visit from a blind lady who seems to see the past. Little does he know that she has also been brought into this bizarre game of hide and seek. This book starts at the end, and works it's way to the beginning. It was a very interesting concept. I have really enjoyed Fitzek's writing. Fitzek only has a few that have been translated into English, but they have all been very good. There is a lot going on in this story, and it kept me on the end of my seat the whole time. I know I say this all the time, but I was sure who the "murderer" was the whole time.....I am happy to say I was wrong... I was surprised. I did not see the end coming the way it did. If you like creepy, exciting, edge of your seat books, you will enjoy this one. Fitzek is an awesome author. His writing is beautiful, and the narrator makes the story really come to life.

Ruth Ardingly has just been released from prison to serve out a sentence of house arrest for arson and suspected murder at her farm, The Well. Beyond its borders, some people whisper she is a witch; others a messiah. For as soon as Ruth returns to The Well, rain begins to fall on the farm. And it has not rained anywhere else in the country in over three years. Ruth and her husband, Mark, had moved years before from London to this ancient idyll in the hopes of starting their lives over. But then the drought began, and as the surrounding land dried up and died, and The Well grew lush and full of life, they came to see their fortune would come at a price. From the envy of their neighbors to the mandates of the government, from the fanaticism of a religious order called the Sisters of the Rose to the everyday difficulties of staying close as husband and wife, mother and child - all these forces led to a horrifying crime: the death of their seven-year-old grandson, drowned with cruel irony in one of the few ponds left in the countryside. Now back at The Well, Ruth must piece together the tragedy that shattered her marriage, her family, and her dream. For she believes her grandson's death was no accident, and that the murderer is among the people she trusted most. Alone except for her guards on a tiny green jewel in a world rapidly turning to dust, Ruth begins to confront her worst fears and learns what really happened in the dark heart of The Well. Members Reviews: F this book! I was pretty into the description of the book and was expecting something like Children of Men and in some ways the tone and mood are similar; a bleak near future where environmental catastrophe is creating civil unrest. However, I am SICK to death of books where the protagonist (usually female) is supposedly very intelligent but lacks anything like the ability to recognize what's going on around them. I understand characters are flawed and making mistakes is part of what creates tension in a narrative but seriously, everything this character does defies logic. She doesn't just get everything wrong, she seems completely baffled by life. She says variations of, "I don't know," or "I don't understand," so many times that eventually, as a reader, I found myself thinking "No, duh!" Very disappointing. Instead of listening to this book, watch Top of the Lake on Netflix. Brilliant, poetic, tragic. Life-affirming indomitable spirits This book so unexpected. The rare kind of book that haunts. So human. So tragic. Lush in its validation of life, even when the spirit becomes dry, brittle, and oh so frail.Yet from the well, hope springs eternal. The story is so very original. Nuanced. The prose often times poetic. The performance is nothing short of stunning. Nicola breathes life into these beautiful words. Kept me on my toes! Psychological thriller? Yes Exploring human relationships? yes. This book has these things rolled up with descriptions of the English Countryside and bungling governments.

Critic Reviews: "Creepy, genuinely gripping." (Heat) Members Reviews: Gripping Really enjoyed. Mainly listened to whilst driving and ironing. Have to admit , ironed slowly as it kept me gripped. Totally believable although once or twice I thought it was a big daft towards the end but on the whole thoroughly enjoyed Compelling Initially was very frustrated by the story line but found this to be a compelling listen . Becomes less frustrating as the story develops. Good listen for those who like psychological thrillers. engaging story and an easy listen the narrator was good, sounded like she had a cold but at emotional parts it helped make it sound authentic. I think the ending could have been expanded more as it sounded like an after thought rather than a twist, but I liked it and if you want an interesting easy listen with a good narrator and characters then download this one. Creepy but really good A friend recommended this book to me. Good book & read well too. I will be definitely reading more of her books good have to consontrate lots twists and turns for me not as good as her others vut well wrote

Hartoin Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 23 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: A sunny place for shady people. Vacations can be murder, especially when you're Mercy Watts. She's trying to get away from it all, including her godmother's lawsuit and a certain situation with the mafia. So she heads to Roatan, Honduras, a place known for scuba diving and lawlessness. Mercy's on the island less than 24 hours when she discovers that she hasn't gotten away from anything. Her problems hitched a ride and increased tenfold. The deeper she dives, the more dangerous her vacation becomes. She must stop a murder or she'll be the next on the hit list. Members Reviews: good! good story ...just seems like it isnt finishedwe soncerely do kope there is another one Delightful I really enjoy this writer. The story is well told and funny and a very good mystery. I would continue reading them. Give me more! Still a hilarious story. Mercy goes on vacation and still ends up solving a crime. Working with the mafia is stressful, especially when you are hiding it from your mother. Her nursing skills are stretched to the limits in Roatan, Honduras. There are countless attempts on the life of her clients life. The limited opiates, hurricane winds and rains, and other medical resources challenge even Mercy skills to keep her client alive. Even on vacation, Mercy and her mother, causes mens head to turn and accidents. Her godmother makes a radical change in her physical appearance and her aunt finds her happiness. The twins are wonderful and I was disappointed they did not get more story time. There are so many funny characters in the story, her dad, uncle, her god mother (Dixie), mother, twins, step-cousin (Garrett) and aunt. These people add such color and enjoyment to the story. Aaron the Yahoo swilling, hot dog munching-dough boy is hysterical. My disappointment is most them are only given cameos each story. Her father is used as a scare tactic or to issue orders. Garrett is only there to tease Mercy for a few seconds. Despite the small parts of Mercys inner circle, this is truly a funny Mercy story. I am saving 5 stars for this series, for when Mercy's inner circle get bigger parts. Pleading for (More) Mercy If you could sum up Diver Down in three words, what would they be? Kooky, Peril, Fun Who was your favorite character and why? Mercy is my favorite. She's relatable, smart, and imperfect. I love a character with flaws. What about Lyssa Brownes performance did you like? Everything. She's the perfect voice for Mercy and the rest of her crazy clan. Any additional comments? I was very pleasantly surprised by the first novel and was glad to see that there were several more books in the series. The one thing I would point out as a downside to this book is that I don't love Aaron. I think I'm supposed to find him endearing but he's just annoying most of the time. Like a joke that went over so well the first time that the person keeps telling it over and over and over again.

And it doesn't matter that, as he starts to investigate, he discovers that these criminals are bigger and better organised than he ever could have imagined, because they are about to learn the first rule....

Great book good pace to the story main characters were very well thought out & I thoroughly enjoyed them. Narrator a tiny bit annoying but the book easily compensated for that...definite thumbs up & recommended from me! Good Story well narrated interesting plot which moved at pace. Only criticism is that there were a few too many characters to keep track of. Typical Joe Pike
No real surprises in the story line & a bit predictable not the best in the series

Charlotte Alton is an elegant socialite. But behind the locked doors of her sleek, high-security apartment in London's Docklands, she becomes Karla. Karla's business is information. Specifically, making it disappear. She's the unseen figure who, for a commanding price, will cover a criminal's tracks. A perfectionist, she's only made one slip in her career - several years ago she revealed her face to a man named Simon Johanssen, an ex-special forces sniper turned killer-for-hire. After a mob hit went horrifically wrong, Johanssen needed to disappear, and Karla helped him. He became a regular client, and then, one day, she stepped out of the shadows for reasons unclear to even herself. Now, after a long absence, Johanssen has resurfaced with a job, and he needs Karla's help again. The job is to take out an inmate - a woman - inside an experimental prison colony. But there's no record the target ever existed. That's not the only problem: the criminal boss from whom Johanssen has been hiding is incarcerated there. That doesn't stop him. It's Karla's job to get him out alive, and to do that she must uncover the truth. Who is this woman? Who wants her dead? Is the job a trap for Johanssen or for her? But every door she opens is a false one, and she's getting desperate to protect a man - a killer - to whom she's inexplicably drawn. Written in stylish, sophisticated prose, The Distance is a tense and satisfying debut in which every character, both criminal and law-abiding, wears two faces, and everyone is playing a double game. Critic Reviews: In British author Giltrows riveting debut, the rich sophisticated Charlotte Alton is the alter ego of Karla, who operates a high-tech information network. Eight years earlier, Karla established a new identity for Simon Johanssen, a hit man fleeing gangster John Quillan. Now Johanssen wants her help infiltrating the Program, a prisoner-run society in a heavily guarded London neighborhood...the attraction between him and Karla, as well as other unexpected connections between damaged characters, add depth to an already satisfying read." (Publishers Weekly) "Fast, hard, and very, very good." (Lee Child, internationally bestselling author of the Jack Reacher thrillers) Members Reviews: Better than Lee Child What made the experience of listening to The Distance the most enjoyable? How refreshing to be challenged by an audiobook! What other book might you compare The Distance to and why? I heard about The Distance on a podcast, where the critic chose it as one of her top 'undiscovered' books of 2014, and compared it favorably with Lee Child's Jack Reacher novels. Having enjoyed them (mostly), I clearly had to check it out. I can certainly see why the comparison was made, but in other ways the books are far apart. I found The Distance far more engaging, and demanding of my attention to follow the plot. In the Reacher novels, my mind can wander, but the text and plot are sufficiently simple that my peripheral attention has kept me up to speed, and I don't feel that i've missed anything when my focus returns.

After a devastating experience in Darfur strips Alex Baines, former rising star of the State Department, of his security clearances, he is faced with two choices: Spend the rest of his career in visa-stamping limbo or move to the private sector. On the verge of resigning, he receives a call from his old mentor with an incredible opportunity to start over, restoring both his security clearances and his reputation. The job isn't quite what Alex imagined it to be when he finds a shady U.S. based mining company everywhere he turns. As violence in the political climate escalates, Alex struggles to balance the best interests of the United States with the fate of the Congo and its people. His loyalties are put to the test as he races to determine the right course of action. Critic Reviews: "There's the mission the public knows, and the mission we'll never see. Matthew Palmer knows both, which is what makes The American Mission crackle with complexity and authenticity. What a debut." (Brad Meltzer, #1 New York Times best-selling author of The Fifth Assassin) Members Reviews: I just didn't care about this story Not sure what I saw in this book. It wasn't the story I expected and it felt a little preachy at times. I didn't like the characters, and by the time the third act rolled around, I just didn't care anymore. This is the rare book that I couldn't finish. Become informed AND Entertained Would you consider the audio edition of The American Mission to be better than the print version? Can't comment: Have not seen/read the print version. Who was your favorite character and why? The Hammer of God: smart, colorful, perceptive, caring and a bit eccentric What about Erik Singers performance did you like? Very good voices for different characters; great accents, diction, intonations and pronunciations for the different languages

But a bigger, bloodier surprise is waiting for them! Whoever controls New Guinea can turn the tide of the war. Thats why the Japs are mounting a bold sneak attack designed to wipe out the Americans. But the Rat Bastards know when and where the enemy plans to strike. Can they quit thrill-hunting and fighting each other long enough to become the killer combat until the Yanks need to survive? Editorial Reviews: Book 14 of the Rat Bastards series follows a rag-tag World War II platoon as they prepare for a major Japanese offensive that could turn the tide of the war in the South Pacific. More introspective than earlier books in the series, Suicide River places the drama of the war alongside the internal tensions among platoon members and others sharing their hard-scrabble life in New Guinea. Performer Ray Porter's deep voice brings drama to the tale, and he does an excellent job nailing the soldiers' regional accents. If you've ever wondered what it was really like to fight in the South Pacific during WWII, Suicide River is an excellent choice.

Their individual journeys are the culmination of a leading neurosurgeons herculean efforts - 10 years before - to save his dying wifes life. His research results in a chance discovery that will later completely alter society when AltaMira Pharmaceuticals releases Vigorex, the most explosive drug in a century, one that manipulates nucleotides in the human mind in a way that allows people to sleep and experience R.E.M. while they're awake. As the story unfolds, a colorful cast of characters begin to take the drug, which if not taken properly will have hazardous consequences. But each of these people has undergone a deeply traumatic episode in their formative years, which will affect them in differing ways; murder, arson, kidnapping, vigilantism, among other crimes, will characterize their nightly personalities and send them crashing into one another. Critic Reviews: "It takes the skillful work of a brilliant new author to sustain the suspense of a truly engaging narrative. You will find in these pages a staggeringly sober, meticulously researched and captivating chronicle of a gritty underworld reality. Following the lineage of influential narco-thrillers (e.g. A Scanner Darkly, Strange Days, and Limitless), St. John creates an architectural masterpiece in the convincing construction of a comprehensively systematic landscape of socio-psychological drama, the harsh reality of which is so recognizably human that it speaks authentically to the most deeply-rooted shadows and fears of our inner selves. While his prose is infused with rich language, imagery and metaphors - a true poetic testament to great literature - the incessant unfolding of the almost obsessively scripted suspense drives the reader onward into an entirely consuming cinematic journey. This is contemporary storytelling at its finest." (Lisa Marie Quillinan) Members Reviews: Captivating... you'll stay up late listening! If Not For The Dawn is a captivating psychological thriller that takes you on a journey through eight seemingly unrelated lives, the dark place they each retreat to because of their own individual hardships, the refuge they find in this 'miracle drug', and the hypnotic collision that follows when their lives intersect in a surprising climax. St. John's characters are beautifully developed and are brought to life through his artful prose, his colorful imagery and his imaginative story telling. This is one of those books you are dying to know what happens next but you don't want to end. It's a favorite, in print and on audible. Character driven masterpiece!!! Would you consider the audio edition of If Not for the Dawn to be better than the print version? Don't know, I haven't read the printed version but David DeBoy did a damn good job with the narration. Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How? Absolutely, it took a few hours to introduce the characters but man, did the story take off!! What does David DeBoy bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? Yes, as I previously stated DeBoy did an excellent job bringing the many characters to life. I think I would definitely enjoy the audible version over print.

Or is he? It seems the only one Taylor can turn to is attorney Reed Weston. But is Reed's determination to protect her enough to avert disaster? And can Taylor trust Gordon's identical twin, Jonathan, who always seems to show up when she least expects him? Grief and dread unravel Taylor's sanity, playing tricks with her mind and heart. Gordon's vow to return and those final menacing words, "I'll be watching you", haunt her day and night. Whoever is out there is coming closer, and Taylor Halstead has nowhere to run and nowhere to hide. Critic Reviews: "An exciting thriller right up to the last page." (Booklist) Members Reviews: Terrific suspense I love all of Andrea Land's books but this is one of my favorites. The plot was complex. I enjoyed most of the characters, the good ones. Five Stars very good book Five Stars Great book. Super mystery! Hard to put down Psychologist and popular radio personality Taylor Halstead's world was violated when Gordor Mallory - her cousin Stephanie's wealthy, sadistic boyfriend - attacked Taylor in her own apartment. When his assault was interrupted, he swore he'd be back to finish the job. Taylor is terrifed -especially when she receives threatening reminders in Christmas cards and on her answering machine. She eventuually reports this harassment to the police, but there is little they can do. There is nothing that points to who is harassing her -and Gordon is dead. I am a fan of Adrea Kane's work - I have read most of her books. This is the best yet. While I like to think I can figure out the mystery before the author makes it plain, that was not the case with I'll Be Watching You. Highly recommended! Great Romantic Thriller I was given this book on loan by my boss. Great read. Didn't want to put it down. The author really has a way of keeping you hooked with twists and unexpected turns. You can't help but fall in love with her characters!

What they don't eat themselves, they sell to local businesses, using every part of the animal. Disgusted by the wolf cull, pop megastar Rainey Layne and her bodyguard Darius travel to Bo's small town to join a growing group of animal activists. After Bo and Rainey clash during the protest, Rainey pulls mother and son headfirst into her manic, self-absorbed world when she crashes her car on their land. Soon, she finds herself their unwilling guest. But in the age of instant communication, celebrities can't just disappear without the whole world demanding them found. In a violent showdown between hunter and activist, tensions within the Lowery household are dragged into the light. Both women harbor dark secrets. But Rainey Layne will learn just how far a mother pushed to the edge will go to protect her child. Members Reviews: Excellent audio book brings thriller to life This is the first audiobook I've heard and Rebecca Ortese skillfully brings to life Duncan Ralston's thriller. Set in Alaska, the book's plot races forward with each event further fleshing out compelling characters who illustrate a collision of two ways of life and belief systems. It's hard not to root for Bo Lowery, a single mom making a living for her 8-year-old son Caleb by hunting for food and selling the remaining parts of the animals. When she is making a delivery to a general store, a profane and entitled pop singer Rainey Layne, in town to protest the wolf cull, confronts her and events are set in motion. As we learn more about the characters and their backgrounds, things become more complicated and the ending is both surprising and inevitable. There is some graphic violence that is appropriate to the story. Duncan Ralston is a talented writer, with excellent pacing and descriptive abilities. Rebecca Ortese does a masterful job narrating, nailing accents and tone from Bo's Louisiana twang to the East Texas drawl of Rainey's bodyguard Darius. She is effective in distinguishing varied ages from twenty-something Rainey to 8 year-old Caleb. Her skill allows the voices to deepen the characters and her clear diction really enlivens the story and makes for easy listening. I highly recommend the audio book for a visceral experience of this satisfying thriller. Kept me glued till the end! Very well written!!! Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Yes, the plot and sequence of events, mixed with characters made for a great listen! Any additional comments? "This review copy audiobook was provided by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost." Mesmerizing!!! Wow! I did not see that coming!! Great book that I could not put down! Looking forward to reading the next one in this series!!! This audiobook was provided by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review courtesy of AudiobookBoom dot com." A very good fast paced thriller Every Part of the Animal is a very good, fast paced thriller revolving around a woman and her son and the lengths that she is willing to go to keep him protected from threats real or imagined. Or both. I wont give away any spoilers, but the narration for this one fit the story very well and I thought really added to the overall feel of the story.

On Thin Icing Audiobook by Ellie Alexander

Title: On Thin Icing Author: Ellie Alexander Narrator: Dina Pearlman Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 40 mins Language: English Release date: 07-25-16 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 14 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: Welcome to Torte - a small-town family bakeshop where the treats are killer good. It's the dead of winter in the sleepy town of Ashland, which means no tourists - and fewer customers - for Jules Capshaw and her bakery. But when she's asked to cater an off-season retreat for the directors of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, business starts heating up...until Jules finds a dead body in the freezer. Someone at the retreat has apparently iced the bartender, a well-known flirt with a legendary temper - that is, before a killer beat him to the punch. Then, from out of nowhere, Jules' own ex-husband shows up at the shop - and soon becomes a suspect. With accusations piling up higher than the snow - and thicker than a chocolate mousse cake - Jules has to think outside the (recipe) box to find the real culprit...and make sure he gets his just desserts. Members Reviews: I really like this series. This book gave the reader more insight into Sterling. I was disappointed in the interaction with Carlos and Jules and the way Jules treated Thomas. I missed not having the rest of the Torte team involved in the plot. Alexander Does It Again - Every Bit As Good as The First Two Itâs been many years since I experienced a blizzard and reading On Thin Icing had me shivering and very happy that I live in the desert. Alexanderâs descriptions of the miserable weather makes you feel as if you are there â be it in the kitchen with the power threatening to go out, trying to keep warm while sleeping in an unheated cabin, or walking knee deep in fresh snow. I was as surprised as Jules to find her estranged husband, Carlos, making an unexpected visit. The tension between Carlos, the romantic Spaniard, and Thomas, the local no-nonsense detective, is so thick it could be cut with one of Julesâ bread knives. The descriptions of wines were enough to cause drooling, and of course, the food is to die for. Thank you, Ellie, for the recipe for Orange Cardamom Rolls. I will be trying them soon. As with any really good mystery, everything (well, almost everything) was wrapped up by the end, but we are left to wonder what will happen between Jules and Carlos. The idea of waiting months for the next installment is almost painful. Once again, a fabulous read! Four Stars This is a very enjoyable series Gave it to my favorite aunt for her birthday Gave it to my favorite aunt for her birthday. She loved it! The series is great, unless you are trying to diet. Really good I really do love this series. You can not go wrong with this new book.

Title: The Last Detective Author: Peter Lovesey Narrator: Michael Tudor Barnes Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 37 mins Language: English Release date: 02-04-16 Publisher: Hachette Audio UK Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 13 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: A woman's naked body is found floating in the weeds of a lake near Bath by an elderly woman walking her Siamese cats. No one comes forward to identify her, and no murder weapon is found, but sleuthing is Superintendent Peter Diamond's speciality. A genuine gumshoe practising door stopping and deduction: he is the last detective. Struggling with office politics and a bizarre cast of suspects, Diamond strikes out on his own, even when Forensics think they have the culprit. Eventually, despite disastrous personal consequences, and amongst Bath's rambling buildings and formidable history, the last detective exposes the uncomfortable truth.... Critic Reviews: "A brilliant performance." (Times Literary Supplement) "A terrific job." (The Times) "Mr Lovesey maintains a wonderful tone throughout.... A comedy of bad manners, full of oddball characters and wacky events develops into a perfectly realised murder mystery whose skilful misdirection never oversteps the bounds of fair play." (The Wall St Journal) "A bravura performance from a veteran showman: slyly paced, marbled with surprise and, in the end, strangely affecting." (New York Times Book Review) Members Reviews: The Last Detective This a fascinating story, well narrated, with great characters that all get a chance to tell their own story. The ending was a real surprise, not something that happens that often. The Last Detective - great book This book was nothing like I expected ie it had no connection with the TV series however, the story line and narration was excellent. I'll definitely get the next book in the series Very enjoyable - excellent 'who done it'. Very enjoyable 'who done it'. Well read, full of expression. My only reservation was that everyone sounded as if they came from Yorkshire. Being local(ish) to Bath it's always nice to read books set in the area. Not quite in the Michael Robotham league but an excellent read none the less. Was going to bin after 10 minutes - glad I didn't I have to say I don't bond with the last detective in any way - terrible bigoted old bugger that he is. But strangely once I had got past the 'I'm going to bin this' cut off I couldn't help but get drawn into the story which isn't bad at all. It may not rate 5 stars but I think I will very probably download the next in the series - just to see how things go!!!! Could have been excellent but let down by details Would you try another book written by Peter Lovesey or narrated by Michael Tudor Barnes? Yes to both What could Peter Lovesey have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you? He could have paid a little more attention to detail. While much of the book maintains a credible story, (without wishing to give any spoilers), the post career choices of the main character are simply not credible and the denouement comes without any reasonable evidence - just a hunch. Which character as performed by Michael Tudor Barnes was your favourite? The main character If this book were a film would you go see it? It would have to be structured rather differently. Any additional comments? Eye for details and consistency let this down.

To test the facilities, he's hosting a reunion for his old school friends. He is so busy showing off that he doesn't notice that another group have invited themselves along - a collection of terrorist mercenaries who are occasionally of more danger to themselves than to the public. Critic Reviews: "A high octane sense of the absurd." (The Times) "The next star of the genre seems set to be Christopher Brookmyre." (Mark Lawson) Members Reviews: Awful awful accents Would you try another book written by Christopher Brookmyre or narrated by Angus King? I LOVE Chris Brookmyre's books. The problem with this is entirely with the narration. I'm afraid Mr King's attempt at a Geordie and a Mackem accent were so appallingly bad that I literally had to stop listening as it was killing the enjoyment. I'm not from the North-East btw, it's just that the performance is so jarringly awful on those accents it really becomes impossible to ignore about 2/3rds of the way through when those characters are really at the forefront. I personally blame the director, should never have let a performance that bad be released. He's fine on other accents and I'm sure he's a capable actor but wow, awful performance on those accents. Would you be willing to try another one of Angus Kings performances? No. Any additional comments? Chris Brookmyre is absolutely wonderful and I have recommended him to loads of friends who are now fans. A fantastic book - let down by Ausible Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Great story, well engineered, keeps you reading Who was your favorite character and why? Has to be Ally, although Mtt and Simone + Vale are worthy of a mention Have you listened to any of Angus Kings other performances? How does this one compare? He reads well. Its not the voice that I thought of when I read the books, but he adds to my pleasure - an alternative view Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? Laugh Any additional comments? Audible have lost the last section of the book - pathetic! Cheered my day. Came late to this early Chris Brookmyre as the blurb had made me think it wouldn't suit me. Then I was totally riveted and laughing all through. Angus King is overall a great narrator and I forgive his dreadful Sunderland efforts here as his varied native Scottish for the main characters is so much more important. different! imaginative storyline for sure. love Angus King's narration. enjoyed the different characters. Anorher good listen! great story, just a little bit dated now perhaps? loved this when it was released and its still a cracking read but i just find some of the tech references at focussed on and subsequently date it badly, perhaps an updated version could be considered?

It's Chief Medical Examiner Dr Kay Scarpetta's birthday, and while she's enjoying a leisurely morning, a man is shot dead five minutes from her house. The bullet tore through him as he unloaded groceries from his car. Yet nobody heard or saw a thing. It looks like the work of a serial sniper - one who leaves no trace except for tiny copper fragments, and whose seemingly impossible shots cause instant death. As Scarpetta investigates, uncovering details that only she can analyze, she begins to suspect that the killer is sending her a message. Adding to Scarpetta's growing unease is the sense that those closest to her are keeping secrets. And when her pursuit of the sniper takes Scarpetta to a shipwreck off the Florida coast, she comes face to face with shocking evidence that implicates her niece Lucy - Scarpetta's very own flesh and blood Members Reviews: Hit and then it hit the floor I am a Scarpetta fan and found this audio book a good listen. Great narration, with authentic accents and distinguishable character voices, which are always a pleasure. I found the storyline very credible and interesting. The only flaw for me was a eager sudden and flat ending. I realize the intended purpose of it, bout found it to be a rather bland ending to an otherwise rise momentum-building story. Another great thriller from PC This story was good like most of Patricia Cornwell's stories. The characters are like comfy slippers that just feel right when you put them back on. Good storyline really well read by a easy to listen to narrator. However the finish felt separate from the rest of the story almost like it could have come anywhere in the story. Still very enjoyable. Awh no..... You can't leave it there!!! Will I need to wait one full year to satisfy my curiosity? I can't believe it!!!! Travelogue not Crime Thriller I have gone back to reading Patricia Cornwell after quite a break. This book was so disappointing All street names and places I had to listen to the end twice to make sure I had the ending correct Review of flesh and blood Wasn't as good as her earlier books but still not bad. Will still keep listening to her books good reads

In the Arctic Ocean, the US Coast Guard icebreaker Terra Nova batters its way through the pack ice. There shouldn't be anyone near them for hundreds of miles. But then a lone skier, half-dead with cold, emerges out of the snow. His name is Tom Anderson, and he is the only survivor of a disaster at Zodiac Station, a scientific research base deep in the Arctic Circle. He tells an incredible story of scientists and spies, of lust and greed, of jealousy, mayhem and murder. But his tale simply doesn't add up. Whose blood is smeared across his clothes? Why is there a bullet hole through the jacket he's wearing, and why is that jacket labelled with someone else's name? It's clear that more was going on at Zodiac Station than Anderson is telling. And someone else may have survived the disaster, as well. someone who has killed before, and who is willing to kill again. Members Reviews: surprised at how good this was never heard of the author, so this was a crapshoot for me. I kept expecting it to be awful or at best mediocre. but it just kept getting better. what a happy surprise. and the narrator is first rate. if you're looking for an engaging sci-fi/mystery that won't insult your intelligence, try this one. Hand my jacket, will you please? What made the experience of listening to Zodiac Station the most enjoyable? The performance by Piers Wehener was truly a highlight, but the overall twists and turns in the story arc was compelling. I really didn't see how the story was to resolve until the very end. What was one of the most memorable moments of Zodiac Station? The conclusion has so many angles and asymetric ideas, it grabbed me. What does Piers Wehener bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book? His accents and emotions are very impression. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? The internal dialogue by our hero is thoughtful and realistic. Any additional comments? I was moved by this book , which, for a protypical Arctic thriller, is unusual. Very impressive and well worth the credit. Finally, a listen that kept me listening.... Best listen of the summer! Excellent story, well written, and superb narration. Keeps you wondering until the very end. Well worth the credits. Please Audible, find more of these gems. Good plot, interestingly told I enjoyed the story. It's got a very twisty plot with a bit of an homage to one of literature's greatest horror novels (I won't say which, because that will give away the story). The setting is well described, eerie and tension-filled. It's a tale narrated through a number of different character's POVs and documents, which makes the pacing slightly odd, but helps to keep you on the edge of your seat and guessing. The one part of the story I thought was a big of a let-down was the rather superficial, convenient characterizations. There are some really intriguing characters in the story and I thought they could have been better fleshed out. I got the feeling they were left tenuous in order to allow the plot more flexibility.

But as NYPD Detective Kat Donovan focuses on the accompanying picture, she feels her whole world explode, as emotions she's ignored for decades come crashing down on her. Staring back at her is her ex-fiancé Jeff, the man who shattered her heart 18 years ago. Kat feels a spark, wondering if this might be the moment when past tragedies recede and a new world opens up to her. But when she reaches out to the man in the profile, her reawakened hope quickly darkens into suspicion and then terror as an unspeakable conspiracy comes to light, in which monsters prey upon the most vulnerable. As Kat's hope for a second chance with Jeff grows more and more elusive, she is consumed by an investigation that challenges her feelings about everyone she ever loved - her former fiancé, her mother, and even her father, whose cruel murder so long ago has never been fully explained. With lives on the line, including her own, Kat must venture deeper into the darkness than she ever has before, and discover if she has the strength to survive what she finds there. Read by Kerry Shale Members Reviews: Great Storyline Where does Missing You rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far? Harlan Coben's books tend to follow a familiar formula but it's a good formula. I'd rate this book in the top 10% of audio thrillers I've heard. Who was your favorite character and why? Kat obviously. The whole story revolved around her. Did the narration match the pace of the story? The narration was very good generally apart from making many of the male characters sound like morons for some inexplicable reason. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Yes. I would have were that possible. I ended up listening to it over about 3 days because of work commitments. Any additional comments? Great Story, Characters you cared about and heart pounding ending. The only drawback was the weird drawls some of the male characters were given. Gripping I think this is my favourite Harlan Coben so far, I found myself glad I had a long drive so that I could listen uninterrupted. There were some gruesome bits that I didn't like, but happily for me not too many. The writer really jacked up the suspense and my heart was pounding in places and I had to make a conscious decision not to drive too fast! The narrator's treatment of most of the male characters was weird though. They were generally portrayed as dumbass, deadbeat types, even when they weren't. There were some male characters that he got really well, so it's even stranger that he made the decision to go with those other portrayals in the way that he did. However, other than this he was a great reader. Narration so bad had to give up If this book wasnt for you, who do you think might enjoy it more? Started this and had to give up the narration.

Max has it all: the devil-may-care charisma, the stunning movie star wife, and a sizable personal fortune that grows along with his legend. When Max escapes from a rehab center in Arizona, disoriented and longing to return to his blue-collar roots, he becomes the target of a motley group of kidnappers planning to cash in by holding him for ransom. Max not only outsmarts them; he evens the score. Little does he know that a far more dangerous and merciless enemy is coming for him. But this time, he has an ally in the smart and beautiful sheriffs deputy Tess McCrae. For years, Max drifted through an easy superstar life, untethered and without purpose. But as he fights for his life, something turns inside him. Hes ready to live again - on his own terms. He will destroy those whod rather see him die like an icon than live like a man. Members Reviews: Awesome story with a different kind of character What did you love best about Icon? The character was simply amazing. Having the character be a big movie star really set him apart from most books. We have an idea of what movies stars are like and having this character interact with people and their assumptions really breaks the mold from a traditional character. What was one of the most memorable moments of Icon? I can't say it enough about the character, but Max Conroy was awesome. How he deals with this life altering ordeal as a celebrity gives a fresh take on a simple story. He can't behave life a normal person, because his face is everywhere. So he must handle this situation different then most people. Have you listened to any of Ryan Johnsons other performances before? How does this one compare? I have not, but I really liked his voice. Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? I couldn't stop listening. I wanted to know what happens next. nice surprise Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? yes! it was under the radar, refreshing! Have you listened to any of Ryan Johnsons other performances before? How does this one compare? this is the first performance of ryan's that i've ever listened to not the best-not the worst Would you listen to Icon again? Why? no, the story was too stereotypic. the twists were not enough to ignore the fact that this is an "easy to see the finish" story How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable? a little more suspense, and a couple more twists Did Ryan Johnson do a good job differentiating all the characters? How? I've heard better. the story needed a better narrator to liven up and distinguish better the characters in the story Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? yes, when the icon does a not so heroic thing in deserting someone who believed in him, and was trying to help him
