Title: A Wanted Man

Subtitle: Jack Reacher 17

Author: Lee Child

Narrator: Jeff Harding

Format: Unabridged

Length: 11 hrs and 50 mins

Language: English

Release date: 08-30-12

Publisher: Random House Audiobooks

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 141 votes

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense

Publisher's Summary:

When you're as big and rough as Jack Reacher - and you have a badly-set, freshly-busted nose patched with silver duct tape - it isn't easy to hitch a ride. But Reacher has some unfinished business in Virginia, so he doesn't quit. And at last, he's picked up by three strangers - two men and a woman. But within minutes it becomes clear they're all lying about everything - and then they run into a police roadblock on the highway. There has been an incident, and the cops are looking for the bad guys....

Will they get through because the three are innocent? Or because the three are now four? Is Reacher just a decoy?

With his signature Swiss-watch plotting and heart-thumping suspense, A Wanted Man shows Lee Child at his sublimely skilful best.

Critic Reviews:

He could take out Bond, Dirty Harry, Jason Bourne and Ethan Hunt with both hands tied behind his back. And then sleep with their girlfriends two at a time before getting the last bus out of town (Sun)

Members Reviews:

Good to see Reacher is back

If you could sum up A Wanted Man in three words, what would they be?

A wanted read

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

Yes, always something happening, some good twists and turns.

Which character as performed by Jeff Harding was your favorite?

Jack Reacher

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

N/A

Any additional comments?

Reacher books are good, but I think Lee is getting carried away with the scene and history descriptions that sometimes appear to go on with no actual relevance to the rest of the story. Sounds a little picky i know, but the first books in the series weren't as bad as they are now. Not bad, but you know what I mean.... :-)

A bit of a story arc for Reacher now...and this is a goodie

The story had enough unpredictability to be edge-of-seat material, and Reacher is in his prime.

Jeff Harding IS Jack Reacher for me - his resonant slightly nasal voice drives the vocal performance - listen to an early Reacher story narrated by someone else and Reacher somehow shrinks and gets softer. A great match!

A back on form Reacher - a very good listen

Typical format with new scenery, Jack must need a holiday by now. I did enjoy this though and I found myself lingering in the car park so that I could hear a little more... I am still clearly hooked on Reacher.

Great

I love this series. Intricate plot. Fantastic characters. Great final twist. Jack Reacher Rules. O.K. More please Mr Child.

Great first half, faulterin slightly

If youve listened to books by Lee Child before, how does this one compare?

This a great listen, sections of it being amongst the best Lee Child has done. The opening section of the book, from the point where Reacher accept a lift hitchhiking, to the point he eventually leaves the car, is fantastically tense and intriguing. Both Child and Reacher are in their element here: a tightly controlled environment, with three strangers to suss out and very little to go on, and the dawning realisation that no one in the car is telling the truth... Child's meticulous description of environment and people, Reacher's methodical, pin-sharp throught-narrative, play out fantastically as he tries to get to grips with the mysterious situation. The parallel narrative of a FBI murder investigation interplays very very with Reacher's story as we begin to understand how the events are connected.

Title: Escape Artist

Subtitle: A Robin Monarch Short Story

Author: Mark Sullivan

Narrator: Jeff Gurner

Format: Unabridged

Length: 2 hrs and 6 mins

Language: English

Release date: 08-23-12

Publisher: Macmillan Audio

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 109 votes

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense

Publisher's Summary:

Mark Sullivan, the co-author of James Pattersons Private Games, has, in Robin Monarch, created a compelling new hero. Monarch is a world-class thief and a highly skilled operative - a man with skills, a rigid code of honor, powerful friends and implacable enemies.

In Escape Artist, Monarchs abilities - and his nerve - are both tested when he takes on an impossible mission to stop an assassination plot thats about to unfold, when all anyone knows for certain is the target. To save the diplomat who is in the crosshairs, Monarch must arranged to be locked up in a foreign prison, so that he can get close enough to the one person who knows the details of the assassin's plans. Then, once he learns those details, Monarch must escape from that high security prison in time to thwart the killer.

Robin Monarch - called one of the most compelling heroes since Jason Bourne (Lisa Gardner) - is introduced in this chilling, nerve-wracking story. Presented with a special excerpt from Rogue, the first Robin Monarch novel, coming in Fall of 2012.

Critic Reviews:

"A compelling, page-turning blend of spy and caper fiction: it's Robin Hood for the twenty-first century. (Jeff Abbott)

Members Reviews:

Great

Always like Robin Monarch and the slick way he accomplishes his missions! Always very entertaining.

Short but very satisfying.

Read my review of Brotherhood. DITTO it. These are excellent stories packed with a solid, fast moving and interesting story lines.

OK, but not well written or narrated.

This 2 hour novella best serves as Mark Sullivan's introduction to both the teenage Robin Monarch and Robin Monarch the CIA agent. At that it is effective especially as it shows the beginning of Monarchs late teen move from pure street crime in Argentina to beginning to turn his life around.

On the negative side the interweaving of the two stories with constant changes from one to the other can distract the listener especially when using the same narrator for both. As a fan of both the author and the narrator I find this and the other two Robin Monarch novellas disappointing. Yet as an introduction to the Robin Monarch series the novellas are worthwhile.

Keep Monarch coming!!!

Would you listen to Escape Artist again? Why?

Yes, because of the intensity.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Robin Monarch because he show his weakness and strength.

What does Jeff Gurner bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?

Jeff Gurner is excellent and brings the characters to lilfe

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

Yes

Audio virgin

Where does Escape Artist rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far?

This was my first audio book

What other book might you compare Escape Artist to and why?

Anything

Have you listened to any of Jeff Gurners other performances before? How does this one compare?

This was a first and he did a great job

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

Title: The Fourth K

Author: Mario Puzo

Narrator: David Dukes

Format: Abridged

Length: 2 hrs and 57 mins

Language: English

Release date: 07-09-12

Publisher: Random House Audio

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 8 votes

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense

Publisher's Summary:

A Presidential dynasty. An Arab terrorist attack. Democracy under siege. Mario Puzo envisioned it all in his eerily prescient 1991 novel, The Fourth K.

President Francis Xavier Kennedy is elected to office, in large part, thanks to the legacy of his forebears - good looks, privilege, and wealth - and is the very embodiment of youthful optimism. Too soon, however, he is beaten down by the political process, and disabused of his ideals, he becomes a leader totally unlike what he has been before.

When his daughter becomes a pawn in a brutal terrorist plot, Kennedy, who has obsessively kept alive the memory of his uncles assassinations, activates all his power to retaliate in a series of violent measures. As the explosive events unfold, the world and those closest to him look on with both awe and horror.

Critic Reviews:

[A] classic page-turner....The Fourth K has almost everything you look for in a thriller."(The Washington Post)

Fast-paced, satisfying....fine entertainment."(Los Angeles Times)

I enjoyed the last novel by Marc Levy , particularly the first 80 percent....

Title: Exit Plan

Author: Larry Bond

Narrator: Dick Hill

Format: Unabridged

Length: 17 hrs and 31 mins

Language: English

Release date: 05-08-12

Publisher: Recorded Books

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 198 votes

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense

Publisher's Summary:

New York Times best-selling author Larry Bonds Dangerous Ground, starring Navy Lieutenant Commander Jerry Mitchell, was hailed as a hugely entertaining adventure by Library Journal. In Exit Plan, Mitchells crew is ordered to the Iranian coast for a mission to retrieve intelligence on Irans nuclear weapons. But while en route, their mini-sub catches fire, forcing Mitchell and four SEALs to swim to shore - and into enemy territory.

Critic Reviews:

The technothriller has a new ace and his name is Larry Bond. (Tom Clancy)

Members Reviews:

Larry Bond is Back!

This is the first of Larry Bond's novels I have been able to finish since his original First Team. Exit Plan has the power and suspense, without getting bogged down in extraneous and unimportant distractions. Bond should continue to sail it alone, as his solely written works are much more appealing to me than those which he wrote with other partners!

Excellence at its best!!!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

This is a very written and detailed book - step by step the author draws you in.

What does Dick Hill bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?

Dick Hill has has the perfect voice and cadance for this book

Slow starter...

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

When I'm in the mood for a techno thriller I like them to start fast and be loaded with action. Exit Plan just wasn't it. I don't think a shot was fired until about chapter 12 or so.

What was most disappointing about Larry Bonds story?

Too long for build up and not very well done at that. I never found any of the characters interesting or compelling, I barely could remember their names

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

His characterization was not convincing, Character voices sounded overly contrived and unnatural.

What character would you cut from Exit Plan?

Bond could have eliminated the characters (too forgettable to remember names) who were trying to rekindle their romance. It had nothing to do with the plot of the story.

Any additional comments?

This was my first Larry Bond book. I've read all of Clancy, and most by Vince Flynn, Brad Thor, and Harold Coyle. This type of book works best for me when it is fast pace where the action starts early and keeps coming. Exit Plan just didn't have those elements.

Navy SEALS in Iran = Good Times!

First off, this book has A TON of technical jargon in it. 9 times out of 10 that screams "Oh, look at what a knowledgeable author I am!!", but here it's not terribly annoying. There are about 4 storylines running throughout the book--- only 2 of which you'll actually be interested in. Bond's storytelling abilities are just good enough to keep you awake.

Overall, the story is somewhat believable, EXCEPT for a few small holes... like the fact that Bond wants you to believe that there are ZERO operational helicopters in all of Iran! (Believe me, had the author included a few Iranian helicopters, the story would've turned out VERY differently)

The characters are not all that deep, or compelling. When they die, you don't care. What really keeps you listening is the ACTION. After the SEALS make it to Iran, it's pretty much a roller coaster ride (when that storyline is being focused on). If you can make it through the numerous slow parts, the ending does have a very good payoff.

The narrator is OK, not great.

Critic Reviews:

"Combines the intellectual-puzzle mystery with a powerful vein of psycho-thriller suspense." (The Washington Post)

"Surprising twists [and a] wildly inventive plot." (The New York Times)

Members Reviews:

Whaaaaaaat?

What was most disappointing about Peter Straubs story?

It sounded more like a comedy, except for the graphic rape scene.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

He sounded like Scrappy (Scooby-doo's owner)!!!!

Any additional comments?

Very disappointed! Thriller?! Nah!

Peter Straub at his post Blue Rose best.

This is easily one of my favorite mystery thrillers of all time. It's a great story, but more than usually detailed, so make sure you have time to pay attention and really enjoy it.

Incredibly Detailed

This book is incredibly detailed with many character introductions and long, descriptive prose. It is a beautiful example of a modern gothic novel but the intricacies do not translate to audiobook as well as I would have liked. I listen to audiobooks and dramas in the car while I drive for my job and I kept missing details. This is definitely a book for a rainy night at home or the coffee shop where distractions are at a minimum.

That said the performance was spectacular and the book sets a macabre mood that makes it great fun to read.

Please, don't buy this!

Would you try another book from Peter Straub and/or Patrick Lawlor?

I have read other Peter Straub that I enjoyed, otherwise I would say NO!

What do you think your next listen will be?

How do I know?

How did the narrator detract from the book?

The narrator was nasal, flat and emotionless. Absolutely the wrong voice for the story.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

All the above. The men were horrible abusive misogynists, the women were weak, damaged, and way to willing to put up these horrible men.

Any additional comments?

This is not something I would expected from Peter Strab.

Is this necessary?

What disappointed you about The Hellfire Club?

I don't like reading graphic descriptions of sexual assault. I like Straub -"Shadowland" was amazing-but this book made me feel ill.

What do you think your next listen will be?

Title: Breakdown

Subtitle: A V. I. Warshawski Novel

Author: Sara Paretsky

Narrator: Susan Ericksen

Format: Unabridged

Length: 14 hrs and 53 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-03-12

Publisher: Brilliance Audio

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 151 votes

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense

Publisher's Summary:

Carmilla, Queen of the Night, is a shape-shifting raven whose fictional exploits thrill girls all over the world. When tweens in Chicagos Carmilla Club hold an initiation ritual in an abandoned cemetery, they stumble on an actual corpse, a man stabbed through the heart in a vampire-style slaying.The girls include daughters of some of Chicagos most powerful families: the grandfather of one, Chaim Salanter, is among the worlds wealthiest men; the mother of another, Sophy Durango, is running for the United States Senate. For V. I. Warshawski, the questions multiply faster than the answers. Is the killing linked to a hostile media campaign against Sophy Durango? Or to Chaim Salanters childhood in Nazi-occupied Lithuania? As V.I. struggles to answer these questions, she finds herself fighting enemies who are no less terrifying for being all too human.

Members Reviews:

Another interesting story from Paretsky

Susan Ericksen did a good job narrating the story and giving just the right amount of the flip attitude of V. I. Warshawski. Paretsky gives us a bit of Chicago history and a descriptive view of the city. The use of young girls book club as the underpinnings of the story was interesting. Warshawski's having to research into Lithuanian history under the Nazi was interesting. Lots of suspense and nail-biting moments in the story that moves right along. I disagree with the prior reviewer as many books have either right or left wing politics in the stories and as long as it fits into the story line it is acceptable but if the politics over helms the story line I then object. Fans of Paretsky will enjoy this book as she still has her skill with a story.

Paretsky vision lives on

The mystery here is almost secondary to the development of possibilities. Although that can be awkward, these possibilities were sufficiently intriguing to keep me involved and to feel as though I did not waste my time. I felt particularly sad about the loss of Vi's friend. I wanted more stories about the two of them and more resolutions that would reflect her value in the lives she touched. As always, I had a bit of a hard time with the denoument. I wish Paretsky could wrap these stories up in other ways than what I now see is a standard trick for forcing self incrimination and resolution of the loose ends. Still, I always look forward to my next Paretsky book. I always appreciate the greatness of her scope.

Political correctness...really?

As usual, Paretsky is an amazing story teller & keeps you on the edge of your seat with this mystery! But the great narration by Susan Ericksen, one of the all-time best readers, is what keeps you listening!! If it hadn't been for her, I might have stopped listening way back at the beginning when all the political issues of gays, immigration & the evils of wealth started! Political correctness...really??? I listen to have a break from all that! Even Paretsky's own characters don't fall into a group of all bad/hateful or all good/wonderful depending on their politics! The Tolerant are Not always accepting & it gets Very Old!!!

Rich Detail but the Conclusion Left Me a Bit Flat

Would you listen to Breakdown again? Why?

Perhaps.

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense

Publisher's Summary:

John Puller is a former war hero and now the best military investigator in the U.S. Armys Criminal Investigative Division. He is a loner with few possessions by preference, but he has an indomitable spirit and an unstoppable determination for finding the truth. His father was the most decorated U.S. Marine in history, but now resides in a nursing home far from his battlefield glory. Pullers older brother, also a military vet, is serving a life sentence in Leavenworth Penitentiary. Puller is called out to a remote, rural area far from any military outpost to investigate into the brutal murder of a family in their home. The dead husband was in the army and the wife worked for a Pentagon contractor. The local homicide detective, a woman with personal demons of her own, clashes with Puller over the investigation. What neither of them knows is what is waiting for them across the street from the murdered familys home. It is something that will turn an already complicated case on its head. As Puller digs through deception after red herring, he realizes that absolutely nothing, and nobody, hes so far seen in this small town, are what they seem. He is truly one man against an overwhelming force.

Members Reviews:

Baldacci at his best

I've just finished listening to Zero Day. It's 5:16AM and I just had to finish! The story has really nice twist and keeps you engaged until the end. Highly recommended for all who like Baldacci/Child/Sandford.

Zero Day, David Baldacci

Where does Zero Day rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far?

This ranks in my top ten.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Puller, of course, we my favourite character.

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

It was delightful that there were both a male and female narrators, but the male narrator did the best job of distinguishing his different characters.

Any additional comments?

Every Baldacci book is great. It was interesting to 'hear' one for a change. It made me really look forward to getting in the car every day to go to and from work.

omit the background noise

loved it. great story. lose the background effects. with a very good plot the music and effects are nothing but distracting.

Can't wait for Puller's next mystery

I looked forward to my commutes and radio news simply went out the window. Characters were believable, the suspense was murderous and Baldacci kept me guessing to the very end. I gasped many many times.

I would snap up any piece performed by either of the narrators.

most enjoyed audible book to date, performance bri

Would you listen to Zero Day: John Puller, Book 1 again? Why?

yes the two speakers and odd moments of music made more like a radio play and I because addicted to listening to it

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

yes, lots of twists

What does Ron McLarty and Orlagh Cassidy bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?

for me the accents gave the character more life. as a non American I cant mentally attribute accents to the different states

Any additional comments?

I got up in the morning and had it playing load while I got dress and ate breakfast in front to computer listening

Language: English

Release date: 10-10-11

Publisher: Zondervan

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 142 votes

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense

Publisher's Summary:

In this first book of a three-book series, author Vannetta Chapman brings a fresh twist to the popular Amish fiction genre. She blends the familiar components consumers love in Amish books - faith, community, simplicity, family - with an innovative who-done-it plot that keeps readers guessing right up to the last stitch in the quilt.

When two women - one Amish, one English - each with different motives, join forces to organize a successful on-line quilt auction, neither expects nor wants a friendship. As different as night and day, Deborah and Callie are uneasy partners who simply want to make the best of a temporary situation. But a murder, a surprising prime suspect, a stubborn detective, and the town's reaction throw the two women together, and they form an unlikely alliance to solve a mystery and catch a killer.

Set in the well-known Amish community of Shipshewana, Falling to Pieces will attract both devoted fans of the rapidly-growing Amish fiction genre, as well as those who are captivated by the Amish way of life.

Members Reviews:

Cozy English Meets Amish Mystery

I enjoyed this book as an easy summer listen. Positive, happy in the face of difficulties, and strong community feelings empower this light story that engages but does not stress the listener. I really enjoy quilt shops and quilting so I could relate easily to the background story. If you are not interested in quilting you might not find enough here to hold your interest. As always I like Pam Wards reading style--she does a good job evoking the country homey tone of the book. Glad I gave it a try.

Easy and funny listening

The characters in this book were blended so well and written so clearly that they really came to life for me. The performance was so well executed I found myself laughing part of the time just by her delivery.

Wonderful Book

I enjoyed the entire book. While the narrator did a good job with the story and characters, her voice sounds much older than the main characters age. My mind kept picturing the main character in her 50's or 60's, rather than in her late 20's. A case of character and voice don't match.

Wonderful Cozy Amish Listen

Callie is a young widow who comes to Shippshewanna after her beloved aunt dies. Auntie owned a quilt shop and several Amish women are reliant upon her to sell their quilts. One of the women has a significant need for the funds as she has a child with a rare illness. Callie is a spunky woman from a big city in Texas suddenly in small town Indiana. A real fish out of water. But as the story progresses one senses she was a goldfish swimming in the ocean who needed to be in a tank, required the cozy closeness that provided. Lovely job of dropping that into the story over time. The Amish quilters are lovely women, each with distinct voices that are also unlike most other Amish stories I have heard.

Callie hasnt gotten over the loss of her husband, in fact doesnt even share this with her new friends until very late in the book. She is an endearing character despite her prickly behavior, which furthers the story line, especially when she becomes the prime suspect in a murder. This is not a romance but there are a couple of romantic possibilities.

Publisher's Summary:

Violence is escalating, and spilling onto the streets of Montreal. A nine-year-old girl is killed in crossfire on her way to ballet class. The body of a teenager killed in North Carolina is found hundreds of miles away. Forensic anthropologist Dr Temperance Brennan has to pick up the pieces: she knows she shouldn't let emotion get in the way, but when nine-year-old Emily's body is wheeled into the morgue she cannot help but react. An exhumation uncovers the bones of another innocent in a clandestine grave close to a biker gang headquarters. With her boss in hospital and sparring partner Detective Andrew Ryan mysteriously unavailable, Tempe alone begins a perilous investigation into the lawless underworld of organised crime...

Members Reviews:

Deadly as!

In Deadly Decisions Bones is caught up in an investigation of biker gangs. Her nephew is caught in the middle, Andrew Ryan is arrested for drug dealing, and Tempe is being stalked by a dangerous killer. A great read by Kathy Reichs and Lorelei King delivers a good performance of the audiobook.

A good story line.

Have you listened to any of Lorelei Kings other performances before? How does this one compare?

I really like Lorelei King as a reader. Her voice is great and she changes characters with ease.

Any additional comments?

Quite a good story. At first was a little slow but got going and was really good. I recommend it.

Brennan at her best

Once again Kathy Reichs delivers a gritty story with all the tension and excitement of an action thriller. Would a forensic anthropologist get so involved? Probably not. But Tempe's search for the truth ensures she takes a roller coaster ride in the real world of guns and bikers.

love these!

Brennan finds herself digging in a bikers back yard. her nephew Kit is in town but not well ng the whole story. and Andrew Ryan has gone completely off the rails

Can't go wrong with this author.

It's Kathy Reichs, so you can't really go wrong with this author, adding in one of the best narrators and this makes for a good story.
