Can a band comprised of six very talented but very different musicians make a difference with their music?

What made it possible for Diamond Rio to weather the storms inherent in the fickle world of fame and fortune and go more than two decades without a single lineup change? Any reader in search of transparency and a behind-the-scenes look into the life of the band as a unit as well as the individual lives of the players and singers will be well satisfied. Can true loyalty exist within the competitive, seemingly unforgiving music industry? In Beautiful Mess Marty Roe, Dan Truman, Jimmy Olander, Brian Prout, Gene Johnson, and Dana Williams each has an entire chapter devoted to his personal and professional life. The book’s tone is a welcome rarity—not written from one player’s perspective, but from all six as they “meet in the middle.” Beautiful Mess is a wild ride from the edge of disaster and a little-known secret to an ongoing heart-warming revival.

Title: Victory Square

Author: Olen Steinhauer

Narrator: Don Leslie

Format: Unabridged

Length: 10 hrs 37 mins

Language: English

Release date: 2009-09-04

Publisher: Blackstone Audiobooks

Genres: Mystery, Thriller & Horror, Espionage

Publisher's Summary:

Olen Steinhauer's literary crime series set in Eastern Europe now comes full circle upon reaching the tumultuous 1980s as one of the People's Militia's earliest cases reemerges to torment its inspectors, including militia chief Emil Brod, the original detective on the case. His arrest of a revolutionary leader in the late 1940s resulted in the politician's imprisonment, but at the time Brod was too young to understand how great the cost would be. Only now, in 1989, when he is days from retirement and spends more and more time looking over his shoulder, does he realize that his actions in the line of duty may get him—and others—killed.

Steinhauer masterfully brings together a story of revenge at any cost with the portrait of a country on the brink of collapse.

Title: Secret Life of Marilyn Monroe

Author: J. Randy Taraborrelli

Narrator: Robert Petkoff

Format: Abridged

Length: 8 hrs

Language: English

Release date: 2009-08-25

Publisher: Hachette Book Group USA

Genres: Biography & Memoir, General

Publisher's Summary:

When Marilyn Monroe became famous in the 1950s, the world was told that her mother, Gladys Baker, was either dead or simply not a part of her life -- depending on the publicity campaign of the moment. However, that was not true. In fact, her mentally ill mother was very much present in Marilyn's world. The complex family dynamic that unfolded behind the scenes as Miss Monroe blazed a path to iconic glory is a story that has never before been told...until now.

In this groundbreaking book, Taraborrelli draws complex and sympathetic portraits of the powerful women so influential in the actress' life:

Her mother, Gladys Baker, who gave up her daughter, Norma Jeane (Marilyn) after having two others kidnapped from her. Her foster mother, Ida Bolender, who raised Norma Jeane for seven years -- a woman whose brash but powerful approach to parenting has been completely misunderstood. The legal guardian, Grace Goddard, who helped create 'Marilyn Monroe.' He also tells for the first time the potent story of Marilyn's closely guarded friendship with Pat Kennedy Lawford, sister of President John Kennedy; he sheds new light on Marilyn's so-called affair with JFK; and he reveals shocking information about Marilyn's relationship with Robert Kennedy.

An epic journey told by a master storyteller, this is the final word on the life of one of the most fascinating and elusive icons of the 20th Century.

Title: Halo Effect: ... and the Eight Other Business Delusions that Deceive Managers

Author: Phil Rosenzweig

Narrator: Jim Manchester

Format: Unabridged

Length: 6 hrs 58 mins

Language: English

Release date: 2009-06-01

Publisher: Blackstone Audiobooks

Genres: Business & Economics, Management & Leadership

Publisher's Summary:

Much of our business thinking is shaped by delusions-errors of logic and flawed judgments that distort our understanding of the real reasons for a company's performance. In a brilliant and unconventional book, Phil Rosenzweig unmasks the delusions that are commonly found in the corporate world. These delusions affect the business press and academic research, as well as many bestselling books that promise to reveal the secrets of success or the path to greatness. Such books claim to be based on rigorous thinking, but operate mainly at the level of storytelling. They provide comfort and inspiration, but deceive managers about the true nature of business success.
