A brilliant performance of a great story.

Any additional comments?

As an avid audiobook listener I think this may be the first Christie I have listened to. No surprises that Richard E Grant's performance is superb. At some points when I could not believe that he was creating all the voices. I would highly recommend this performance of this great murder mystery. Masterful!

Pocket Full of Rye

Great storyline, and murders, Agatha Christie, got her twists, in everyone could of done, it but which one did and why?

Publisher's Summary:

New York, 1891: a rapidly changing city, torn between lamplight and electric light, where the burgeoning steel and railway industries attract a flood of humanity from every corner of the globe, fuelling cutthroat gangs, corruption and vice. A prostitute is found brutally murdered. Immediately, fear starts to spread. The victim bears the same hallmarks as Jack the Ripper's recent killing spree in England.

Could it be that the Ripper has crossed the Atlantic to fresh killing grounds? Or is this simply a copycat murder? To solve the case, one of the original English Ripper pathologists, Finley Jameson, is teamed up with Joseph Argenti, one of the new 'untouchable' detectives, handpicked by a New York Mayor eager to fight corruption.

Members Reviews:

It's a ripper!

I could not resist using an obvious - but nonetheless descriptive - headline. Think Jack the Ripper comes to NYC, complete with abundant gaslight atmosphere, a tightly woven mystery and great narration. If you are looking for one of those perfectly fabulous Victorian-era pieces (the story takes place on both sides of "The Pond"), this book never fails to deliver.

Our hero is an intense chap with a troubled past that leads to a difficult present. As the brilliant criminal forensics analyst, his character is believable, captivating, charming and complex. His side-kick in NYC is a policeman with his own share of challenges. And, let me not forget to mention our protagonist's personal assistant, Lawrence, who is also awash with his own personality issues.

I worked though this 11+ hour novel in two days, I was so entranced with it. This seems as though it is the PERFECT property for a Hollywood option. As you listen, you start to imagine who would be playing the myriad people that populate the story.

In a phrase, "I loved this book!" If you like Anne Perry, Caleb Carr, P.D. James, you would enjoy this author's writing. For a person with a pretty weak stomach, I was able to survive the crime scenes and attendant details without feeling 'icky.' There is a certain degree of creepiness that anchors the story, but it works very well. Would love to see another book featuring these characters.

Fabulous New Series - Jameson & Argenti

Any additional comments?

I throughly enjoyed this novel - I hope the first of many more novels in this new series great story, absorbing characters, great pace, phenomenal reader I haven't enjoyed a novel this much in awhile this is the first novel I've heard Piers Wehner narrate and it was exceptional - he made it hard to have to turn off my iPod John Matthews has written two new great historical fiction characters, Finley Jameson & Joseph Argenti, and I look forward to the next adventure! I highly recommend "Letters from a Murderer"!!!

Kept Me Guessing

I really enjoyed this novel. It brings the Ripper to the US and you just don't know who it will turn out to be. The author put in multiple red herrings and developed his characters so that you were able to relate to them. You didn't want it to be the main protagonist or several other prominent characters and yet you just don't know for sure until the very end.

Résumé de l'éditeur:

La dernière nasse était particulièrement lourde et il cala son pied sur le plat-bord pour la dégager. Il jeta un coup d'œil par-dessus bord mais ce qu'il vit n'était pas le casier. C'était une main blanche qui fendit la surface de l'eau et sembla montrer le ciel l'espace d'un instant.

Très vite, on constate que la petite Sara a été tuée avant d'être jetée à l'eau. Vengeance ? Violence obtuse d'un adolescent autiste ? Pédophilie ? Ou dramatique résurgence d'un passé enfoui ?

La voix de Christine Pâris excelle à tisser les fils d'une intrigue qui multiplie ramifications et rebondissements.

Title: Joyland

Author: Stephen King

Narrator: Michael Kelly

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 hrs and 31 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-04-13

Publisher: Hodder & Stoughton

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 59 votes

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Classic Detective

Publisher's Summary:

"I love crime, I love mysteries, and I love ghosts," says Stephen King, who has combined these elements into a wonderful new story. Joyland is a whodunit noir crime novel and a haunting ghost story set in the world of an amusement park.

It tells the story of the summer in which college student Devin Jones comes to work as a 'carny' in small-town North Carolina and has to confront the legacy of a vicious murder, the fate of a dying child, and the way both will change his life forever. It is also a wonderful coming-of-age novel about friendship, loss, and your first heartbreak. Who dares enter the funhouse of fear?

Members Reviews:

King's the best story teller in the world.

You can't get away from it; King can tell a story like no other. Although I like some other writers almost equally, as many can come up with excellent stories, but Stephen King's irreverently & natural dialogue and colourful descriptions captivate the essence of his characters and enthral the reader from the very beginning to the very end. I was a bit unsure about this before I started reading/listening to this book as I thought it might be a bit 'young' for me. It was not, as all the commentary is being made by the main character, Dev, as a mature older man re-living and reflecting on the events that surrounded his transition from teenage-hood to manhood. All in all this was an excellent read.

Doug Stamper of House of Cards reading this book!

If you could sum up Joyland in three words, what would they be?

Michael Kelly's narration is amazing. The story is meh, but Micheal Kelly (aka Doug Stamper of House of Cards) made the book.

If youve listened to books by Stephen King before, how does this one compare?

Story is meh. Go listen to 11.22.63 -that's a better book.

Which character as performed by Michael Kelly was your favorite?

All of them. Especially when he is Devin Jones.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The fur moment.

Great Book well read

A great Stephen King story with believable characters and an intriguing narrative. So well read. Loved it!

BORED TO TEARS

What would have made Joyland better?

This must rate as one of SK's worst books - a naive and gullible goodie-goodie main character of the 'o shucks' variety coupled with a storyline that reads like the diary of someone that stayed in bed to avoid anything happening to him and a narrator that sounds as if he is selling sweets to three-year olds - made me gave up half-way.

stay with the earlier SK books.

Would you ever listen to anything by Stephen King again?

yes, the old stuff

How did the narrator detract from the book?

see above

You didnt love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

none

Loved it couldn't put it down

What did you love best about Joyland?

The writing style. The story was also pretty good

What other book might you compare Joyland to and why?

None that I can think of

Which character as performed by Michael Kelly was your favorite?

Loved Devon the main character and the Carnies

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

ABSOLUTELY!!!!! Could not put it down

Title: Caribbean Moon

Subtitle: A Manny Williams Thriller, Book 1

Author: Rick Murcer

Narrator: Fred Kennedy

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 hrs and 38 mins

Language: English

Release date: 05-20-13

Publisher: Rick Murcer

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 32 votes

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Classic Detective

Publisher's Summary:

Small-town detective/workaholic, Manny Williams, is thrilled with the prospect of finally taking the long-awaited vacation he had promised his wife, Louise. The couple's exotic getaway begins in sunny San Juan, Puerto Rico, by attending the June wedding of a fellow Lansing police officer, followed with an incredible week-long Southern Caribbean cruise on the glamorous Ocean Duchess. Tropical paradise appears to be a perfect recipe for desperately needed R and R... until the first dead body.

A bizarre, seemingly random murder in their posh San Juan Hotel, and the heinous cruise ship deaths of two of Lansing's law enforcement family, brings Manny, and his unique skills, out of cruise mode and head-long into the FBI-led investigation. Manny soon discovers that in this killer's twisted perception nothing is off limits, prompting a race against time that could cost him everything. If you like edge-of-your-seat thrillers laced with humor, you'll love this!

Critic Reviews:

"A new standard has been set for thrillers. In Rick Murcer's debut novel, Caribbean Moon, he's mixed the perfect ingredients to lock in readers, starting with the opening witty banter between Manny and Sophie. From there, the book takes off like a run-away roller coaster. Murcer knows just when to slow the pace and when to hit the gas. He's created a twisted mystery, with infectious characters and an unfathomable ending. Manny Williams might be the new Jedi of investigators, and Murcer is a Spielberg-like creative powerhouse. Caribbean Moon is absolutely magnetic!" (John W. Mefford, Best-selling suspense author of Committed)
