    Publisher's Summary:
    Jan Reyna is a murder squad detective, British by adoption and choice, Faroese by birth and history. Called back to the remote Danish Faroe Islands when his father suffers a paralysing stroke, Reyna is forced to reexamine his decades-long rejection of the past and of his father in particular.
    But in this now-foreign country, whose language and customs he no longer understands, Reyna is also drawn into a rare Faroese murder case. The crime seems to have Reyna's father at its centre, but investigating it inevitably brings Reyna closer to the childhood events he's purposely erased from his memory. He is also confronted by his half brothers, who have their own agenda and seem intent on protecting the family name from any implication of wrongdoing.
    Reyna's choice, then, is either to push through the resistance and risk what he might reveal about his past or to forsake the strange, windswept Faroe Islands for good. His decision will change the lives of everyone around him, but the truths he's already uncovered can't be reburied.

    excellent first book
    Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
    Yes, the characters are understated and interesting. The story is compelling. The writing and performance are excellent.
    Who was your favorite character and why?
    There are two characters that make me want to listen to the rest of this series and to whatever else this author offers--the Faroe Island dectective and the visiting British Detective. Both were introspective, non-hysterical, realistic characters.
    What about Matt Addiss performance did you like?
    It was clear. The distinction between characters was clear. Everything about the performance was well done
    Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
    no
    Any additional comments?
    I hope Audible picks up the rest of the series and the rest of the author's novels.
    Slow
    Slow going to an unsatisfactory end
    Main character not particularly likable and one dimensional throughout
    Can't wait to read the other books in this series!
    While some may find the plot a little slow, I felt that it allowed me to savor the book. The character development was good, but we are left with intriguing questions about Reyna's background, as well as his future. The setting of the Faroes also makes this book stand out from the pack. Imagine my shock when I learned that the main victim and the killer have very similar names to both my grandfathers!
    Faroese Mystery
    If you could sum up The Blood Strand in three words, what would they be?
    Prodigal son returns.
    What was one of the most memorable moments of The Blood Strand?
    The protagonist's arrival on the Faeroe Islands is an interesting set up for the story.
    Have you listened to any of Matt Addiss other performances before? How does this one compare?
    No
    Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
    No extreme reaction, it was a good book, well read. I enjoyed it enough to want to read the next in series, but wasn't dazzled.
    Any additional comments?
    I hope the author spends more time describing the geography of the area more in future books. Also, in order to make his story more compelling, I think he needs to add more depth to his main character. Perhaps he is planning on having Jan's back story unfold through subsequent books.

    Publisher's Summary:
    Book eight in the New York Times and USA Today best-selling Rose Gardner Mystery series.
    Rose Gardner has survived plenty of close scrapes in the past, but her latest bit of trouble has landed her in the Fenton County holding cell on trumped-up charges. The most powerful man in Southern Arkansas, J. R. Simmons, is determined to put her behind bars for good and destroy everything she holds dear, including her boyfriend, Mason, and her friend, Skeeter, reigning king of the Fenton County crime world.
    In a stunning betrayal, it seems as if J. R.'s son, Rose's ex-boyfriend, might have turned tail and joined his father. But Rose doesn't have to face this fight alone. Her tight-knit group of friends is dedicated to helping her figure out - and foil - J. R.'s plan for ruining her, Mason, and Skeeter. But even with their support and the use of her special power, Rose is at a disadvantage. J. R. is a criminal mastermind who has been using his money, power, and web of influence to hide his conspiracies for years. How can she hope to find solid evidence implicating someone who's mastered the art of not getting caught?
    Time is running out, and soon Rose realizes that reassuming her role of the Lady in Black might be her only chance at ferreting out the evidence that will save them all. In so doing, she will risk not only her life but the possibility that her secret identity will be unveiled to all.

    As usual Denise makes you laugh and breaks your heart
    I love Rose and her friends. Denise writes this so well! The plot is great in this whole series! But as Rose works to protect her boyfriend she also breaks your heart! The performance is great! Now on to the next book.
    love love love
    I have loved this series since the beginning. Being able to hear it anytime I want is such a treat! Narration is so great.
    Best one so far!
    Love this series! This Book kept on the edge of my seat! Can't wait for book 9.
    Another great one can't wait for more.
    not disappointed at all. funny, tear jerking exciting from page to page. excited for more.
    Wow!!
    This book is amazing!! What a roller coaster! I am still trying to process everything that happened!!
    I literally read this book nonstop! Every chance I had to read the next sentence, paragraph I would read whether I was at a stop light, dr office, etc.
    This is the 8th installment/book of the Rose series and it is the best one yet!! I became a big fan of the Rose Gardner series from the very beginning. I'm usually not a fan of book series that have several books but this is one of my favorites! Each book has its own mystery and it's never the same, it keeps you on your toes guessing what may happen but then BAM you are so wrong!
    I absolutely love how Denise Grover Swank makes you fall in love with the main characters and oh my stars she has a way of making each of those characters tug at your heart as well. The main character, Rose-she has grown so much and has matured a lot in this book. She's finally becomes one with lady in black. The lines have finally been blurred.

    Great book !!!!
    I love this series of books. funny and keeps you on the edge of your seat.
    Super Fun Read
    If you could sum up The Diva Haunts the House in three words, what would they be?
    Fun, Halloweenie, Interesting
    Who was your favorite character and why?
    Sophie, because she is very sure of herself.
    Have you listened to any of Hillary Hubers other performances before? How does this one compare?
    no.
    Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
    no
    Any additional comments?
    This book is a must read if you like cozy mysteries set around Halloween time. It is fun, has lots of Halloween decorating and recipes casually thrown in the story.
    ONE OF THE BEST COZY HALLOWEEN BOOKS
    I love this book. The narration is outstanding and it's just such a fun Halloween story.
    Lots of Potential, but...
    Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
    Sure, it was time well-spent. I always like giving authors a chance and it wasn't the worst book I've ever listened to. I love the fact that it's set around Halloween and the suggestions between chapters regarding party planning are very cute. The story just wasn't great. Too many kids screaming and the protagonist made too many ridiculous choices that continually put her in danger, or made her look like a floor mat. I kind of wanted her to get killed :)
    What do you think your next listen will be?
    Something non-fiction for work.
    What about Hillary Hubers performance did you like?
    I thought she did a great job with making each character distinct. Sometimes, I listen to books where they actually have different actors for different voices, but that pulls you out of the story, I think.
    Could you see The Diva Haunts the House being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?
    It probably could be a TV series, but I wouldn't watch it unless the protagonist got smarter. No idea who the stars could be :)
    Any additional comments?
    I would definitely give this author another chance, but not with this series.
    Nice series keeps your interest
    This is book five and I am hooked. Good story lines and characters, love the dog. Will continue to read as they become available. Would recommend to anyone that likes an easy fun who done it.

    Sometimes, certain people are better left dead....
    Sam takes on an odd case: he's hired to track down a man who has been thought to be dead for more than 40 years but recently showed up alive to visit his dying mother. Now his daughter, who never even met him, wants to ask him where he's been all this time and why she grew up without him in her life.
    When that man turns out to be a former government assassin who's gone rogue, however, Sam decides it's time for him to bow out of the case - but then he learns that the one you think is the bad guy isn't always right. The supposedly rogue agent, it turns out, may actually be trying to save America from global Jihad. With everything from his family's safety to the future of America's sovereignty on the line, Sam has to figure out who to trust and what to do, before it all blows up in his face.

    Another light and fun Sam Prichard thriller!
    This series is best read in order. It is a wonderful private detective series which have my highest recommendation. (Books 3, 6, 7, and 8 are espionage thrillers rather than modern detective.) I have reviewed all of the earlier books in the series. From my perspective the audiobooks are excessively expensive considering the length of the books. Later in this review I discuss how to reduce the cost.
    The Sam Prichard series books in order are as follows:
    1. The Grave Man
    2. Death Sung Softly
    3. Love and War
    4. Framed
    5. The Kill List
    6. Drifter Part 1
    7. Drifter Part 2
    8. Drifter Part 3
    The total length of all books in the series is a little over 38 hours.
    The least expensive way to get the audiobooks is as follows:
    Book 1: At Amazon buy the Kindle book for $0.00 and the Audible book is $1.99.
    Books 3 & 8: One Audible credit or credit card if that is less expensive. On my Platinum Annual plan the credit is less expensive.
    The other 5 books: Buy the Kindle book for $2.99 and the Audible book is $1.99
    The Kindle version of Book 1 is free and the other 7 Kindle books are $2.99 each. All of the books except 3 & 8 are Whispersync for Voice. None are available as part of Kindle Unlimited. Audible does not yet list Books 6,7 & 8 as part of the Sam Prichard series.
    Author stretches material too much
    The story after an interesting start just slowed down and spend a long time getting nowhere. I felt all of the un-needed slow moving discussions between Long, Prichard and Harry took up pages offering little. I am not going to consider the remainder of the Drifter books as my time can better spent and enjoyed on another author's material.
    A Waste of Money
    Would you try another book from David Archer and/or Mikael Naramore?
    Absolutely the worst writing and storytelling I have seen in along time. Shut it off halfway through. How does drivel like this get published? Clichey upon clichey.

    Publisher's Summary:
    London is under siege. A banking scandal has filled the city with violent protests, and as the anger in the streets detonates, a young homeless man burns to death after being caught in the crossfire between rioters and the police. But all is not as it seems; an opportunistic killer is using the chaos to exact revenge, but his intended victims are so mysteriously chosen that the Peculiar Crimes Unit is called in to find a way of stopping him.
    Using their network of eccentric contacts, elderly detectives Arthur Bryant and John May hunt down a murderer who adopts incendiary methods of execution. But they soon find their investigation taking an apocalyptic turn as the case comes to involve the history of mob rule, corruption, rebellion, punishment, and the legend of Guy Fawkes. At the same time, several members of the PCU team reach dramatic turning points in their lives - but the most personal tragedy is yet to come, for as the race to bring down a cunning killer reaches its climax, Arthur Bryant faces his own devastating day of reckoning. "I always said we'd go out with a hell of a bang," warns Bryant.
    Members Reviews:
    Bryant & May are the reason I joined audible.
    Bryant & May always deliver a great mystery.
    I can't get enough of them. I am hooked on C Fowler.
    Bryant May and Dr Phibes
    I don't like to go into plots, because I believe in books as unspoiled territory waited for the reader to explore and deflower it, as may be.
    However I will make a comment on the performance. The character of Bryant is spot on; he is the voice and soul of Bryant, a cantankerous and moldy genius as perfectly conceived by his author as any of the great fictional detectives ever born. The voice of May, however, is almost, almost, insulting to the character. There is no subtlety, no finesse, no reality to this fictional character. He is portrayed as a bitter, whiney old man, in an effort which is little to no resemblance to the May I've read into creation in my head, and I'm guessing is the same for my fellow devotees to this couple of true characters, who deserve better.
    Other characters are victims of the same water washing, but for the most part their voices aren't as angrifying as the deconstruction of my May, a gentleman and fierce friend of the oddball thought process that is Bryant. He's no Watson, as Watson

    A frozen corpse.
    A missing witness.
    Strange voices that aren't there.
    One cold night Lainie Goff, a glamorous young attorney on the fast track to a partnership at Portland's top firm, is found frozen in the trunk of her BMW on the local fishing pier.
    Detectives Mike McCabe and Maggie Savage quickly uncover a long list of suspects: Lainie's boss, who was also her lover; an ex-priest who runs a shelter for runaway teens; an abusive stepfather who raped Lainie as a teen; and a creepy landlord who seems to know more than he should about her private life.
    Still, there is no hard evidence until a mentally ill young woman who hears voices gives an island cop an eyewitness account he doesn't take seriously.
    But when she too disappears, McCabe and Savage find themselves in a desperate race against time to stop a vicious killer before he rids himself of the only person who knows who he is.
    Members Reviews:
    Okay... Just Downloaded the Next In This Series!
    Probably, I coulda' guessed the killer, but I liked listening to Mike and Maggie do it. James Hayman's created an intriguing ensemble up in Portland Maine and Stephen Mendel talks them into their own distinct lives. So far this series keeps me listening and looking forward to another visit Down East.
    The tension among MIke, Maggie and everyone who fills McCAbe and Savage's chilly world is as cool as Hayman's plotting. He makes writing mysteries simple as falling through New England ice. Yep, I just bought "Darkness First" to keep up with these folks. Can't write a better recommendation, right?
    Excellent Book set in Maine!
    I really liked this book! The author does an excellent job painting a true view of Portland, Maine! The characters are interesting, and the story line was captivating! I didn't want to stop listening! The narrator does an excellent job with the appropriate amounts of influx in voice and speed of reading! Another excellent book!
    good
    Really enjoyed looking for something new.good pace great narration that makes a big difference would recommend
    Well written thriller
    1st time with this author Genre right up the cop drama alley Didn't figure out until end

    Publisher's Summary:
    From the New York Times and USA Today best-selling author of The Silent Girls comes another unforgettable thriller set in Vermont's Northeast Kingdom, featuring Detective Sonja Test.
    Even in a quiet Vermont town, unspeakable acts of the past can destroy the peace of the present.
    In the remote, pastoral hamlet of Canaan, Vermont, a high-profile legal case shatters the town's sense of peace and community. Anger simmers. Fear and prejudice awaken. Old friends turn on each other. Violence threatens.
    So when a young teenage girl is savagely murdered while babysitting at the house of the lead attorney in the case, Detective Sonja Test believes the girl's murder and the divisive case must be linked.
    However, as the young detective digs deeper into her first murder case, she discovers sordid acts hidden for decades and learns that behind the town's idyllic facade of pristine snow lurks a capacity in some for great darkness and the betrayal of innocents. And Sonja Test, a mother of two, will do anything to protect the innocent.
    Members Reviews:
    Not a Good Story or Characters
    I love to find a new series that I can get excited about for the future stories. Well, this wasn't it. In the end, the only character I cared about was the victim. The Detective, Sonja, was so "holier than thou" and unlikeable, I can't even understand why I listened until the end. The book summary stated "Sonja will do anything to protect the innocent". Well, I am not even convinced she is that good of a mother to her two children. Enough "judgement from me." I won't be listening to the sequel.
    The narrator was not good with the male voices. Otherwise, I just feel neutral about the narration.
    Ok mystery but couldn't stay with it
    Maybe it was the weak plot, or holes, or trying to hard for a thriller. I got bored with the story and didn't finish it. Strangely not feeling like I am missing something.
    Disappointing after The Silent Girls.
    Performance poor. Narrator's style was annoying. She dragged out "Test said" after every quote. Her male voices all sounded the same. The plot seemed to drag a lot and I'm not sure if it was the writing or the narrator's style. I will think twice before buying another book by Eric Rickstad.
    Ramblemess
    I forgave all of Rickstead's wooden "he said, she said" tag lines in The Silent Girls, because the characters and plot were compelling. The narrator's story was layered, and in truth, I believed we would learn something about the crazy cliffhanger ending that novel in Lie in Waiting. What a disappointment. This work rambles about loosely, the contrived plot unravels lazily, and the characters inhabiting the story were essentially static. The read itself was just ok...too many characters sounding the same and not a lot of energy when it was needed. Meh.
    Overall a good book
    This is the 2nd book written by this author that I have listened to. I felt compelled to write the review because of all the negative reviews I've read. The story was good - definitely not as interesting as the first - but still good. I found Sonja to be very real. I'm not sure why so many disliked her- I found her character to be interesting and real. I liked her...
    As far as the story- it took awhile to get going. Once it did, it got much better.

    Fun listen!
    Great story, interesting mystery, tons of fun history to boot. I enjoyed Pirate Vishnu very much The story moves along at a good pace, with no boring bits in between. The characters were engaging and entertaining.. It had the right amount of fun, suspense and intrigue. Jaya Jones is a very capable heroine. I am really enjoying this series.
    If there is one drawback, it is that the narrator used the same Scottish accent used in Artifact (the first book) for the Irish character. If someone can't do accents well, it's best to avoid them. I kept getting confused as to why the Irish character was speaking with a Scottish accent.
    Pirate Vishnu: A Jaya Jones Treasure Hunt Mystery,
    This was a thrilling Treasure Hunt that Jaya was presented with. Finding a long lost treasure and restoring the reputation of her family's hero were impossible to resist.
    I enjoyed the alternating POV(Points of View) between Jaya and her great-granduncle Anand.
    While understanding why he did it, I was sad that Lane left Jaya for her own good. I was tickled that he couldn't help but want to protect her afterwards. I loved the way that Jaya put him told him exactly what she thought of his unilateral decision to end their relationship. These two are an entertaining pair.
    I really enjoyed the narrator!
    I'm Sick of Jaya Jones
    I'm sick of Jaya's simplistic way of looking at the world and the people around her. She takes everything and everyone at face value and is then shocked when she realizes that others have ulterior motives. The story was summarized over and over in almost every chapter and the characters are completely unrealistic. The story of Jaya's pirate uncle was more interesting than the story itself. I will not buy the next book in the series.

    Great book with odd beginning
    I love Michael Crichton and was a bit wary buying this book - after all, this book was written in the late 60's before he really started to develop his writing style / career. After the first hour I almost stopped because the plot was just too strange, but I was on a long training run and didn't have anything else to listen to. After the second hour it got really good and it was hard to stop. I'd recommend this book but there is something fishy (to me) about the claim that it was written in 1968. At the end of the book one of the characters mentions "taking the DVD out of the video recorder and placing it on the desk". Although I was born in 1970, I know for a fact that neither CD Roms of DVD's existed back then - so someone has done some additional writing / editing of Michael Crichton's original work.
    Typical Gumshoe John Lange
    I listened to this because I'm a big Michael Crichton fan, plus I was up to Z in a self-imposed A-Z reading challenge! This is pretty typical of his John Lange gumshoe pulp-detective tales. There are also a smattering of medical elements to the story - I guess that's Crichton drawing on his medical background. Fairly standard fare, engaging enough but not great.

    Not his best one
    A bit boring, didnt get into the story much at all. I heard it in pieces over a longer time than usual.
