Members Reviews:

Just Buy and ENJOY the Ride! WOW!!

The other reviewers were spot-on when elaborating on their sheer amazement and reverence regarding the quality of this Spillane mystery/thriller!

If youre a fan, you gotta make time for this one! Nuff said. :)

Spillane's Best!!!

Would you consider the audio edition of One Lonely Night to be better than the print version?

Yes! Mainly due to Stacy Keach's narration. He's my generation's Mike Hammer and his voice is spot on perfect.

What other book might you compare One Lonely Night to and why?

Vengeance Is Mine another Spillane favorite (which I really wish was available on Audible). A great blood and guts private eye yarn.

Which scene was your favorite?

Mike's showdown with the commies and rescue of Velda. Deliriously brutal and cathartic.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

If your red, you're gonna wish you were dead...

Any additional comments?

Please, please make Stacy Keach's reading of Vengeance Is Mine available on Audible.

Title: A Finer End

Subtitle: A Duncan Kincaid / Gemma James Novel

Author: Deborah Crombie

Narrator: Jenny Sterlin

Format: Unabridged

Length: 12 hrs and 9 mins

Language: English

Release date: 12-03-09

Publisher: Recorded Books

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 279 votes

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense

Publisher's Summary:

Here are two spellbinding mysteries, one contemporary, and one ancient - that will challenge Superintendent Duncan Kincaid and Gemma James as no case ever has.

Glastonbury is a town revered as the mythical burial place of King Arthur, and, according to New Age followers, a source of strong Druid power. Something terrible and bloody shattered Glastonbury Abbey's peace long ago - and now it is about to spark a violence that will reach forward into the present.

Critic Reviews:

"Crombie has laid claim to the literary territory of moody psychological suspense owned by P. D. James and Barbara Vine." (

The Washington Post)

Members Reviews:

I'm in this for the entertainment...

I'm reviewing this particular book of Crombie's after reading many of the other reviews. It seems you either accept and enjoy the mystical slant of this particular mystery or you don't like it at all. I belong to the former camp. In my old age I've landed in this place where I want only to to be entertained by a good story. I found the juxtaposition of this ghostly tale and the present day murder story quite enjoyable. As I read mainly fiction these days, I have no issue accepting most anything the author wants to throw at me. As long as it's done well. I find I'm more exasperated by the back and forth of Gemma's and Duncan's love story...one step forward, two back. However, that's me thinking they're wasting too much precious time apart!

I would like to make a comment about the narrator who can really make or break a book. Jenny Sterlin is only ok for me. I find her interpretation of the male roles weak. I much preferred the story telling of Michael Deehy.

Densely historic

Got a bit impatient waiting for Gemma and her partner but worth the wait. Beautifully written

Great to hear the early times in this pair

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Yes, there were so many twists and turns. I had it wrong as I usually do when I try to guess "who-done-it."

Any additional comments?

I have read several of the later books and listening to an earlier book was such fun. It took a while to get to where the detectives were brought in but the story was so good I didn't notice that until later.

Crombie delivers

The Duncan Kincaid/Gemma James series consistently provides a story worth hearing and characters you enjoy knowing and want to know better. A Finer End is a great place to start or to deepen your acquaintance with this pair of detectives who are such real people that you want them for friends.

First story by this author I didn't like

What would have made A Finer End better?

The story was too long and the subject matter too ethereal and unbelievable. Ive enjoyed her other novels; won't fault her a blip.

Title: The Paris Vendetta

Subtitle: A Cotton Malone Novel

Author: Steve Berry

Narrator: Scott Brick

Format: Abridged

Length: 7 hrs and 22 mins

Language: English

Release date: 12-01-09

Publisher: Random House Audio

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 31 votes

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense

Publisher's Summary:

Former Justice Department operative Cotton Malone isn't looking for trouble when it comes knocking at his Copenhagen bookshop. Actually, it breaks and enters in the form of an American Secret Service agent with a pair of assassins on his heels. Malone has his doubts about the anxious young man, but narrowly surviving a ferocious firefight convinces him to follow his unexpected new ally.

Their first stop is the secluded estate of Malone's good friend, Henrik Thorvaldsen. The wily Danish tycoon has uncovered the insidious plans of the Paris Club, a cabal of multimillionaires bent on manipulating the global economy. Only by matching wits with a terrorist-for-hire, foiling a catastrophic attack, and plunging into a desperate hunt for Napoleon's legendary lost treasure can Malone hope to avert international financial anarchy.

But Thorvaldsen's real objective is much more personal: to avenge the murder of his son by the larcenous aristocrat at the heart of the conspiracy. Thorvaldsen's vendetta places Malone in an impossible quandary - one that forces him to choose between friend and country, past and present. Starting in Denmark, moving to England, and ending up in the storied streets and cathedrals of Paris, Malone plays a breathless game of duplicity and death, all to claim a prize of untold value. But at what cost?

Critic Reviews:

"All the Berry hallmarks are here: scale, scope, sweep, history - plus breathless second-by-second suspense. I love this guy." (Lee Child)

Members Reviews:

Choose the Unabridged.

I always enjoy a mystery based on historical facts but I do find this one hard to follow at times. I believe this is due to the abridging. Next time I would choose the unabridged version.

Harry Hole, der trinkfeste Kommissar aus Oslo, wird nach Sydney geschickt, um dort den Mord an einer norwegischen Schauspielerin aufzuklären. Ihm zur Seite steht sein australischer Kollege, der Aborigine Andrew. Schnell freunden sich die beiden miteinander an. Doch schon bald müssen sie feststellen, dass der Mord an der jungen Norwegerin kein Einzelfall ist.

Title: 206 Bones

Narrator: Linda Emond

Format: Abridged

Length: 6 hrs and 38 mins

Language: English

Release date: 08-25-09

Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 15 votes

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense

Publisher's Summary:

Tempe and Lieutenant Ryan had accompanied the recently discovered remains of a missing heiress from Montreal to the Chicago morgue. Suddenly, Tempe was accused of mishandling the autopsy -- and the case. Someone made an incriminating phone call. Within hours, the one man with information about the call was dead. Back in Montreal, the corpse of a second elderly woman was found in the woods, and then a third.

Seamlessly weaving between Tempe's present-tense terror as she's held captive and her memory of the cases of these murdered women, Reichs conveys the incredible devastation that would occur if a forensic colleague sabotaged work in the lab. The chemistry between Tempe and Ryan intensifies as this complex, riveting tale unfolds. Reichs is writing at the top of her game.

Members Reviews:

Not my favorite of Reichs books

I was confused from the begining of this book. Too many present past tense changes in this book and the ending seems unbelievable to the extreme. I have read all of Reichs books and find this one somewhat lacking

Not my favorite Lisa Jackson

I have been tearing through Lisa Jackson on audio and this one drug on for me, not necessarily bad, I just really enjoyed her others. If it's one of your two credits, I'd keep looking. If it's on sale cheap then, yeah, maybe.

mistakes!!!!!!!!

The mistakes in the story where soooooooo irritating. Alot of simple little things the author didn't catch herself nor the editor on. That to me made the book very poor.

The ending ruined the book for me

I would have given the book 4 stars if I were to rate it half an hour before it ended. The ending is a mess and is done in a hurry, as if the author were to tighten up all the loose ends in as few sentences as possible. I feel disappointed

Not my favorite Lisa Jackson book

I love Lisa Jackson's books but this one wasn't my favorite. Seemed to drag on

Title: A Stir of Echoes

Release date: 02-19-09

Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc.

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 266 votes

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense

Publisher's Summary:

This eerie ghost story, by the award-winning author of Hell House and I Am Legend, inspired the acclaimed 1999 film starring Kevin Bacon.

Critic Reviews:

"Perhaps no author living is as responsible for chilling a generation with tantalizing nightmare visions." (

The New York Times)"One of the most important writers of the twentieth century." (

Ray Bradbury)"Matheson is one of the great names in American terror fiction." (

Philadelphia Inquirer)

Members Reviews:

Matheson is excellent

One of the subtle things I loved most about "Echoes" is how this starts to affect this man in his everyday life and his family/wife. And the unexpected turns things take. Twists and turns have become in a way cliche, but this is done well and predates so much of this "genre" of "esp" story. And you can see the groundwork for things like King's Dead Zone etc. Looking forward to more Matheson.

The book and movie are NOT the same!

Tom is a regular guy with an active social life. His life is very interwoven with his neighbors and he has a sweet little family.

The book was written in 1958 and it shows in fun little ways like the neighbors knowing all of each others business whether they want to or not, and other little social norms like the husband going to the grocery store for his wife, and all the meals are home cooked .

Sigh, makes me wish I could visit. But not say. Because only white males really had such a fantastic deal in those days, and I'm pretty sure my homemaking skills would get me beat on a regular basis much like one of the women in the book... but anyways back on track.

Tom is your everyday likable guy with a wife and baby who adore him and another baby on the way. One night, at a party at his brother in laws house, he allows his brother in law to hypnotize him for the groups entertainment.

But something must have gone wrong, because now Tom is seeing things, knowing things, that he shouldn't.

There was a movie with this title that came out in the late 90's and the two do have a lot in common. However, the book and the movie are different enough that I still recommend trying the book even if you've seen the movie.

The narrator, Scott Brick, did an excellent job. 5 stars

Great story

Narrator is perfect. Story was really good! S.King says this author influenced his own writing, after reading this I could feel the similarities. I recommend.

Narrator killed it for me

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

The summary sounded interesting, but the narrator's exaggerated, breathy style killed the story for me. I struggled to get to the end and wouldn't want to put anyone else through the pain.

Could not get through it!

I wanted to like this book and maybe if I had been reading the hardback version instead of listening to the audio version I would have liked it better. The narrator's performance was just too over the top. It seemed like everything was exaggerated. It just was not enjoyable for me.
