Publisher's Summary:

Cass is having a hard time since the night she saw the car in the woods and the woman who was killed. Since then she's been forgetting everything: where she left the car, if she took her pills, the alarm code, why she ordered a pram when she doesn't have a baby....

What she can't forget is the woman she might have saved, the terrible nagging guilt, the silent calls she's receiving and the feeling that someone's watching her.

Brilliant all round!

Where does The Breakdown rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far?

One of the best books I've listened to - couldn't wait to continue through the story. Excellent plot that kept me on the edge of my seat guessing until the end.

What does Georgia Maguire bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?

Georgia Maguire was excellently cast to read this book - I choose books sometimes based on the fact that she is narrating them!

Slow at times

At first I wad very excited to listen to this because I had loved 'Behind Closed Doors' by the same author. I can't say I was entirely disappointed as the story was ok and the idea was intriguing. I just feel like it took a long time to get where it was going which I'm sure the author meant to be a slow burn build to an aha moment, that I wasn't all that surprised by.

Interesting

So interesting. Suspenseful, surprising. And of course superbly narrated by Georgia Maguire. I recommend any book written by

B A Paris.

wow!

i wasn't sure about it at first, but as I got further into the story, wow!! Great book!

Psychological thriller more interesting in the second part

The book reminded me the first one of B.A.Paris (Behind the closed doors) which I liked more, this one is a bit predictable if you listen them in a row. Reminds sometimes "The girl in the train" as well. But as good psychological thrillers are not many - I recommend it to readers who like this genre.

The most infamous cryptid ever to capture the imagination of the planet.

A man putting his life at risk.

When evolutionary biology professor Dr. Zack Hitchens loses his wife in a senseless accident, he decides to follow her dreams all the way to the roof of the world - the peak of Mount Everest. On the infernal mountain, Zack and his teammates battle sickness, whiteout conditions, avalanches, the oxygen-starved minds of other climbers - and something else. Something primitive and consumed with rage. Something seeking revenge.

Something downright abominable.

Members Reviews:

Entertaining Romp At the Top of World

Read/listen to this if you like a good adventure tale. It isnt a gore-fest and its not cheesy. Good job and well narrated.

Great adventure

Would you consider the audio edition of The Yeti: A Novel to be better than the print version?

I can't compare them as I've only heard the audio version

Who was your favorite character and why?

The professor

Which character as performed by Jeffrey S. Fellin was your favorite?

Jeffrey S. Fellin did all the voices and accents so well that they seemed very real. Great narrator that I've never heard before. I will look for more books narrated by him.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

The characters are "fleshed out" so well by the author that you really feel that you are right there with them in the adventure. The character of the "professor" really touched me. He is no super hero, but is a very honest and introspective person. He risks his life doing what he feels is the right thing to do. The ending really touched me.

Any additional comments?

I usually stick to books by my favorite authors, but lately their books haven't been all that great. So I decided to take a chance on these new authors that I haven't listened to before. I am so impressed with their writing. First, their characters are so human and multi-dimensional. There are no "bad guys, good guys" but very human sorts of beings that you can have empathy for even though you may not like what they do. These writers must have done a great deal of research or else are mountain climber themselves. They sure described the climbing of Everest with such detail that the listener really feels like they are along on the expedition. The cryptozoology is something that I find fascinating. I have often wondered if "creatures" like Big Foot and the Yeti could be ancient hominids that evolved along side humans, hiding away to protect their existence. Evolution seems to be having to be re-written as new discoveries are made which indicate that evolution was not linear and the existance of other forms, such as Gigantopithicus, the Hobbit, Denisovans etc prove that several different hominid species existed along side modern humans. So, this story is not entirely far fetched and is fascinating to ponder. I will certainly look for more books by these authors. Most enjoyable story telling!

So Much More Than a Mountain and a Monster

I have read several novels regarding the tragedies and triumphs of those brave men and women who have climbed the mighty Everest. "Yeti" blows in a different direction.

Authors Chelser and Douglas have written a multi-faceted story that is not just a climb up Everest. This adventure owns believable characters who have depth and history.

Title: Night School

Subtitle: Jack Reacher 21

Author: Lee Child

Narrator: Jeff Harding

Format: Unabridged

Length: 11 hrs and 12 mins

Language: English

Release date: 11-07-16

Publisher: Random House Audiobooks

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 103 votes

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense

Publisher's Summary:

In the morning they gave Reacher a medal. And in the afternoon, they sent him back to school.

Night School takes Reacher back to his army days, but this time he's not in uniform. With trusted sergeant Frances Neagley at his side, he must carry the fate of the world on his shoulders in a wired, fiendishly clever new adventure that will make cold sweat trickle down your spine.

Members Reviews:

Not as riveting as usual

I always enjoy Reacher books but this one was a bit "meh" for me. Hard to pinpoint why, exactly but it was very detailed, lots going on, lots of names and not always as pictorial as his narrative usually is. Might have been me just having a bad day and I will go back and have another listen down the track but it won't be one I will be clamouring to listen to again

Reacher good, narrator not

I've listened to all of the Reacher books in the series. On the whole the story was fine if not a little unexciting compared to others.

But I don't think Jeff nailed it with this performance. He has a good Reacher voice but throughout the book he sounded really flat. Sometimes this works because Reacher himself is flat but in this case I noticed and it got a little tiring.

During scenes with multiple voices it sometimes got a little confused who was talking. He didn't switch voices properly. It's probably difficult to do and not world ending just my observation.

Overall I liked the book and fans of the series will like it too. But it's not awesome. Also, personally, I prefer books which continue the timeline rather than being set in Reacher's past. I get the feeling Lee Child might have written himself into a corner in that regard. I really hope he finds a way out.

Terrible Narration!

The story is like most other reacher stories - as in the story is not great in itself but the character makes up for it. In this case, the narration doesn't allow that. Overall only for the fans of the series and that too those who cannot read the actual book.

Reacher said nothing......

I am a big fan of Jack Reacher! I have rarely been disappointed by any of his stories in spite of the tendency of Lee Child (Author), to follow a tried and true format.

The one thing that struck me with this offering was the Narrators delivery of the short punchy sentences that Lee Child likes to use!

It is difficult to simulate a narration in text but each line is delivered in exactly the same cadence! Strangely, it seems to work!! Jeff Harding's voice suits this kind of writing style.

Overall? I enjoyed it! As for my Headline, well that's one of the most often used sentences in every book!

gotta love Jack teacher gets better and better

like a fine burgundy red this action gets better with age, Lee child genious again!!

Title: Cross the Line

Subtitle: Alex Cross 24

Author: James Patterson

Narrator: Ryan Vincent Anderson, Pete Bradbury

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8 hrs and 35 mins

Language: English

Release date: 11-03-16

Publisher: Random House Audiobooks

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 6 votes

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense

Publisher's Summary:

Alex Cross chases a cold-blooded killer...with a conscience.

Shots ring out in the early morning hours in the suburbs of Washington, DC. When the smoke clears, a prominent police official lies dead, leaving the city's police force scrambling for answers. Under pressure from the mayor, Alex Cross steps into the leadership vacuum to investigate the case. But before Cross can make any headway, a brutal crime wave sweeps across the region.

The deadly scenes share only one common thread - the victims are all criminals. And the only thing more dangerous than a murderer without a conscience is a killer who thinks he has justice on his side.

As Cross pursues an adversary who has appointed himself judge, jury, and executioner, he must take the law back into his own hands before the city he's sworn to protect descends into utter chaos.

Members Reviews:

Disappointed

Thin unimaginative storyline. I felt it was written for the sake of writing it. James Patterson just going through the motions. Maybe he needed the money for a new kitchen or something. Yawn

Enjoyable...

My first Patterson listen, and I wasn't disappointed. I thought it was a solid story, well narrated and kept flowing.

Will happily listen to more Patterson...

Cross justice

I quite enjoyed this although I jumped a few times (as you are happily listening and all of a sudden you got very loud sound effects like car chases or gun fire and sometimes the effects made it hard to hear the narration). It was nice having two different voices one for Alex and co and then it would change to give you the baddies point of view in the other voice, so no confusion as to who point of view it was.

It did get a bit confusing in the story as Alex and the team are working on 3 different case, at the same time so jumped around a bit. Not one of Mr Payttterson better stories but would still listen to it again in a few months time.

very few credible twists and turns

you can see the ending plodding towards you from about halfway. nicely read but very pedestrian.

It's OK

Not bad. A good story, but I'm sure many teenagers are more skilled with prose than Patterson.

I'd read another of his.

Resumen del editor:

El juicio contra el padrastro de la joven Johana Márquez está a punto de comenzar. A él asiste una embarazada Amaia Salazar, la inspectora de la Policía Foral que un año atrás había resuelto los crímenes del llamado basajaun, que sembraron de terror el valle del Baztán. Amaia también había reunido las pruebas inculpatorias contra Jasón Medina, que imitando el modus operandi del basajaun había asesinado, violado, y mutilado a Johana, la adolescente hija de su mujer. De pronto, el juez anuncia que el juicio debe cancelarse: el acusado acaba de suicidarse en los baños del juzgado.

Ante la expectación y el enfado que la noticia provoca entre los asistentes, Amaia es reclamada por la policía: el acusado ha dejado una nota suicida dirigida a la inspectora, una nota que contiene un escueto e inquietante mensaje: Tarttalo. Esa sola palabra que remite al personaje fabuloso del imaginario popular vasco destapará una trama terrorífica que envuelve a la inspectora hasta un trepidante final.

Es difícil encontrar a otro autor que irrumpa en el thriller criminal con esta fuerza y originalidad. (La Razón)

Language: English

Release date: 08-16-16

Publisher: Jordan Rivet

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 41 votes

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense

Publisher's Summary:

When an apocalyptic catastrophe decimates the land, a lucky few escape on a souped-up cruise ship called the Catalina. After 16 years, the strain begins to show in a floating world of distrust and shifting allegiances.

A young mechanic named Esther wants to prove herself, but she tends to bash things up in the name of progress. When disaster strikes the Catalina on Esther's watch, she must risk everything to fix her mistake. She sails in search of help and encounters a mysterious metropolis called the Galaxy Flotilla. The inhabitants are keen to parade their lives of luxury, but they'll want something in return for their warm welcome.

A new storm is brewing on the post-apocalyptic ocean. Can Esther save her friends aboard the Catalina before it's too late?

Critic Reviews:

"The quick-paced story is fueled by an adeptly realized sense of place, a powerful undercurrent of emotional nuance, vibrant details, a cast of complex characters and no shortage of seriously suspenseful situations. Rivet does more than make her characters, their connection to each other and their circumstances engaging; she makes them irresistible." (Underground Book Reviews Top Pick, nominated for Best Book of 2014)

Members Reviews:

Excellent post-apocalyptic book!

After a catastrophic volcanic explosion, the land is unlivable causing most of humanity to flee to the oceans for survival. Those lucky enough to find a ship survive and adapt to sea life. The only thing I can think of to compare this to is Waterworld. The story is very engaging and the characters are relatable. Lots of action and a little romance throughout the book. Can't wait to hear the rest of the series. Ray Greenly does an excellent job with the narration!

Seabound Apocalypse

TARGET AUDIENCE: This is a new twist on the apocalypse. No zombies, instead you come face to face with the good and bad of human existence. Tells the amazing story of both people who work together for the common good, and those who are only concerned with themselves.

PROFANITY AND SEX: None, Thank you. Terrific story for listeners of all ages.

NARRATOR: Wow. Truly brings the book to life. Really does a great job with different characters and voices. You never get characters confused or lose your way.

OVERALL: Thoroughly enjoyed this book. I cant wait for the next one to come out.

a fast paced post-apocalyptic novel

Seabound by Jordan Rivet is the first novel in a series called The Seabound Chronicles. Civilization has been pushed to the sea and people live in communities on a diversity of ships, barges, and other vessels. Esther is a young mechanic on a solitary cruise ship called the Catalina. Over the years, resources have become strained and the crew of the Catalina have needed to trade with other ships or groups of ships, regardless of the potential danger of these interactions. Further, politics on the Catalina have also become turbulent as differences arise on how to use resources and interact with strangers. When a critical life supporting piece of equipment on the Catalina is destroyed, the crew of the Catalina is forced to interact with an unknown and seemingly idyllic group of ships called the Galaxy flotilla. As Esther attempts to obtain the resources needed to fix her ship, she and her crewmates begin to realize that the Galaxy flotilla may not be as generous and accommodating as it initially appears.

Inspector Napoleon Bonaparte travels to Victoria, where two young women have disappeared while hiking in the Grampians. Not long after the search for the girls is called off, a local detective is found shot dead.

Please Note: Part of the appeal of Arthur Upfield's stories lies in their authentic portrayal of many aspects of outback Australian life in the 1930s and through into the 1950s. These audiobooks reflect and depict the attitudes and ways of speech of that era particularly with regard to Aborigines and to women. In reproducing this audiobook the publisher does not endorse the attitudes or opinions they express.

Title: Watching Edie

Author: Camilla Way

Narrator: Heather Wilds, Fiona Hardingham

Format: Unabridged

Length: 9 hrs and 6 mins

Language: English

Release date: 08-02-16

Publisher: Penguin Audio

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 62 votes

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense

Publisher's Summary:

For fans of Gone Girl and The Girl on the Train: a dazzling work of psychological suspense that weaves together the past and present of two women's twisted friendship.

Beautiful, creative, a little wild...Edie was the kind of girl who immediately caused a stir when she walked into your life. And she had dreams back then - but it didn't take long for her to learn that things don't always turn out the way you want them to.

Now, at 33, Edie is working as a waitress, pregnant, and alone. And when she becomes overwhelmed by the needs of her new baby and sinks into a bleak despair, she thinks that there's no one to turn to....

But someone's been watching Edie, waiting for the chance to prove once again what a perfect friend she can be. It's no coincidence that Heather shows up on Edie's doorstep just when Edie needs her the most. So much has passed between them - so much envy, longing, and betrayal. And Edie's about to learn a new lesson: Those who have hurt us deeply - or whom we have hurt - never let us go, not entirely....

Critic Reviews:

"Skilled performances by Heather Wilds and Fiona Hardingham give psychological insights into the two main characters.... Both Hardingham and Wilds are so good that there's no turning this off." (AudioFile)

Members Reviews:

READ the book, DON'T LISTEN to it

There are two major characters in the book, each portrayed by a different narrator. The narrator who plays "Heather" is totally inappropriate for the role. She's supposed to be a large, blond young woman from Wales, but sounds like anything but, with a strong accent from the West Indies. I really had difficultly getting through her sections, which were stacatto and sing songy.

That being said, the book is very well written and if you can get past the voice of one narrator, the characters are very well drawn, as is the plot. You will recognize the characters, the motives, and perhaps even some of the behavior, from your youth and maybe the book will help you fill the gaps in your understanding of persons you once knew.

I really recommend the book highly in print.

watching edie

good book, a friend and I listened to it during work i found myself turning it on in the car on the ride home. I didn't want to stop listening. overall a good book.

Off-putting at first but stick with it!!

I loved this book. First and foremost, YES - the voice of "Heather", narrated by Heather Wilds, is not the easiest to listen to. The problem is that a lot of people might not be familiar with what southern welsh sounds like. Because we can't physically see Heather, our brain wants to use her voice to give her a look. To people outside of living in the UK, the narrator's accent comes off as Indian or Middle Eastern. Do not let this deter you from listening as Wilds' performance is very solid. Sing-songy and melodramatic is exactly what you'd get from a frumpy, emotionally stunted introvert from South Wales. And there is always the other narrator; Hardingham, as always, is near perfect in her inflections.

The characters in this book are all well fleshed out. As a woman and mother I particularly enjoyed getting to know Edie - even if at times I did not like her very much. Heather steals the show here, though, and once you have let her in you can't shake her.
