Publisher's Summary:

The extraordinary new novel in the New York Times best-selling author's acclaimed series about the real Deep South - "a joy ride into the heart of darkness" (The Washington Post).

She was just 17, a high school dropout named Milly Jones, found walking down the middle of the highway, engulfed in flames. Even in a tough Mississippi county like Tibbehah, it shatters the community, and it is up to Sheriff Quinn Colson, back on the job after a year away, and his deputy, Lillie Virgil, to investigate what happened and why. Before long, however, accusations start to fly, national media and federal authorities descend, and what seemed like a senseless act of violence begins to appear like something even more disturbing - with more victims waiting in the shadows.

Just Gets Better

I have always liked the Quinn Colson series, and find myself enjoying each new book a little more. The characters are really starting to flesh out and develop individuality. I have never, physically been to Mississippi, but I sure feel like I know Tibbehah County. I think Ace Atkins is ready to give Elmore Leonard and Raylan Givens a run for their money!

Just Gets Better

I enjoy this series very much and each book is better than the one before. I live in the heart of the book's setting and Ace Atkins portrays the area with more authentic characters than most writers dealing with the South. Unfortunately, he does have a tendency to fall back on some too used stereotypes, such as the snake oil preacher and the weak minded mayor. However, these lapes are few and don't detract from the plot. Quinn continues to be a great lawman, making terrible romantic decisions. Would have liked to have seen more of Callie and Ms. Jean in this story, maybe next time.

BRAVO MacLeod Andrews!!!

The best decision anyone made for this story was hiring MacLeod Andrews as the narrator because let's face it, the man is a GENIUS when it comes to performing! And you get a d@mn good performance. One that not only brings life to these flawed and dynamic characters but to the very plot of this story about trust being broken and sacrificed for selfishness.

The overall story was interesting but MacLeod Andrews went above and beyond the call of duty with his performance that held me completely captivated with dark and sad tale.

I'm looking forward to the next story in this series and as long as MacLeod Andrews is the narrator I'm sold.

I enjoyed it..but....

I have listened to two books set in Mississippi lately. The exaggerated accents can be annoying, although not as much in this one as the last. I just wish the performers would learn to pronounce the names of the the towns. Biloxi in the last one, Natchez in this one.

The story was good, but predictable. Obviously ties in some current events, including what happens to the girl, as well as politics.

Weak, disappointed in Ace.

Looks like Ace has fallen into the John Gresham trap of having to produce something for the publishers

Title: Wolf Lake

Subtitle: A Novel

Author: John Verdon

Narrator: Christopher Lane

Format: Unabridged

Length: 12 hrs and 35 mins

Publisher's Summary:

Could a nightmare be used as a murder weapon? That's the provocative question confronting Gurney in the thrilling new installment in this series of international bestsellers. The former NYPD star homicide detective is called upon to solve a baffling puzzle: Four people who live in different parts of the country and who seem to have little in common, report having had the same dream - a terrifying nightmare involving a bloody dagger with a carved wolf's head on the handle. All four are subsequently found with their wrists cut - apparent suicides - and the weapon used in each case was a wolf's head dagger.

Police zero in quickly on Richard Hammond, a controversial psychologist who conducts hypnotherapy sessions at a spooky old Adirondack inn called Wolf Lake Lodge. It seems that each of the victims had gone there to meet with Hammond shortly before turning up dead.

Troubled by odd holes in the official approach to the case, Gurney begins his own investigation - an action that puts him in the crosshairs of not only an icy murderer and the local police but the darkest corner of the federal government. As ruthless as the blizzard trapping him in the sinister eeriness of Wolf Lake, Gurney's enemies set out to keep him from the truth at any cost - including an all-out assault on the sanity of his beloved wife Madeleine.

With his emotional resources strained to the breaking point, Gurney must throw himself into a deadly battle of wits with the most frightening opponent he has ever faced.

Wolf Lake is the new work by a writer hailed by the New York Times as "masterly" - and it furthers the adventures of Dave Gurney, a detective reviewers have compared to Sherlock Holmes.

Members Reviews:

This one gets a little gruesome!

John Vernon returned to his original Dave Gurney character with this book. After returning the last book I was skeptical and it took me over a year with this book in my wish list before I purchased it. I am happy to say that I am keeping this one and am sorry I waited so long!

A $1,000 per night for a room at a lodge located in upstate NY and an intensive therapy session with the resident shrink. You wouldn't expect the guests to then go home and commit suicide. That's how it's supposed to look until Gurney is hired to look into four almost identical deaths.

This is a good mystery that borders on a horror story towards the end. There's a blizzard, the cars have been tampered with so they can't be driven, miles from anywhere, electricity goes out and there's a killer on the loose with an axe killing who ever is still there. Of course there's more then one suspect and for the series to continue Gurney must figure out who before it's too late.

Christopher Lane does an excellent job narrating.

Very entertaining and HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

If you found this review helpful please indicate so.

Thank You.

John Verdon is back!

Loved the first two in this series but had been a tad disappointed with the last one (Peter Pan). So glad to see Mr. Verdon is back in this one. With clever explanations that you simply didn't see coming (but could have), tons of interesting (if improbable) characters, and fun dialogue. Highly entertaining. And the reader is pretty good as well.

I'd rather see the movie

There is no movie but I think it would have made a good one.

Publisher's Summary:

Two police officers are about to head home after a long night shift when they receive one last call. En route to investigate, the patrol car spins off the road, killing one of the exhausted cops and leaving the other in critical condition. Detective Peter Diamond is assigned to look into the case. His supervisor is desperately hoping Diamond will not discover the officers were at fault. Instead Diamond discovers something even worse - a civilian on a motorized tricycle was involved in the crash and has been lying on the side of the road for hours. Diamond administers CPR, but the man's fate is unclear.

Diamond becomes suspicious of the civilian victim and begins a private inquiry that leads to a trail of uninvestigated deaths. As the man lingers on life support, Diamond must wrestle with the fact that he may have saved the life of a serial killer.

Members Reviews:

A bit confusing but clever

I love Simon Preble and always enjoy his narration. The story was a little more convoluted than other Peter Diamond books but it was very cleverly done and demonstrated that, indeed, sometimes older is wiser.

Complicated

If you can follow a plot line with multiple characters, you just might enjoy this police procedural. Simon Prebble narrates beautifully, although, even with my volume in the highest settibg, I sometimes had trouble hearing him.

Great audiobook in all areas!

Where does Another One Goes Tonight rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far?

At the top!

What was one of the most memorable moments of Another One Goes Tonight?

Wen Peter Diamond solves the mystery.

Have you listened to any of Simon Prebbles other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes. I really enjoy Simon Prebble's voice!

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

Yes but I spread out the time to enjoy my purchase.

My Favorite Peter Diamond Book

I've read a number of earlier books in this series. I liked them all, some better than others. This book is the 16th in the series and, for me, the best one yet!

The plot is Inventive and different from anything else I've read. I'm reluctant to say more - I don't want to spoil the surprises. It was difficult for me to stop listening because I couldn't imagine what was coming next.

Peter Diamond seems to have mellowed a little. He isn't quite as abrasive as he was in some earlier books. Time has mellowed him.

This isn't "action packed", but the pace is steady. There are no "gory details" or rude language.

If you've enjoyed other books in this series I think you'll like this one.

fantastic read!

This is a great story. Very intricate and surprising . Just what you'd expect from Lovesey.

Title: No Cats Allowed

Subtitle: Cat in the Stacks Mystery Series, Book 7

Narrator: Erin Bennett

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8 hrs and 24 mins

Publisher's Summary:

Springtime in Mississippi is abloom with beauty, but the library's employees are too busy worrying to stop and smell the flowers. The new library director, Oscar Reilly, is a brash, unfriendly Yankee who's on a mission to cut costs - and his first targets are the archive and the rare book collection.

As annoying as a long-overdue book, Reilly quickly raises the hackles of everyone on staff, including Charlie's fiery friend Melba, whom Reilly wants to replace with someone younger. But his biggest offense is declaring all four-legged creatures banned from the stacks.

With enemies aplenty, the suspect list is long when Reilly's body is discovered in the library. But things take a turn for the worse when a threatening e-mail throws suspicion on Melba.

Charlie is convinced that his friend is no murderer, especially when he catches sight of a menacing stranger lurking around the library. Now he and Diesel will have to read between the lines, before Melba is shelved under "G" for guilty...

Members Reviews:

A fun book to listen to.

This is book seven in the Cat in the Stacks series. I have previously read book one and two in the series. This appears to be a series one does not have to read in order as each book stands on its own.

Our protagonist is Charlie Harris and his Main Coon cat Diesel. Charlie is a retired librarian who had returned to his hometown Athena, Mississippi, after his wife died. He is working part-time at his alumni, Athena College, as an archivist. Diesel comes to work with Charlie and is enjoyed by fellow workers and students. The library director suddenly quits and an interim director is appointed from the accounting department. Oscar Reilly proceeds to alienate everyone including Charlie after he bans Diesel from the library. Then Reilly and others are murdered and Diesel and Charlie are on the hunt for the killer or killers. The college president appoints Charlie the new interim library director and now someone is trying to kill him.

The book is well written. The author does a great job of weaving the story and characters into an exciting story. James is a gifted storyteller. I picked up on one piece of information, that Mississippi does not register guns. Have not yet checked this out to see if it is a true fact or not. But in the story a gun could not be traced to the owner because there was no registration required. I am always on the lookout for bits of unusual information. This is a fun read and I learn more about Maine Coon cats with each book.

Erin Bennett does a great job narrating the book. She is a well known voice over artists and audiobook narrator.

The librarian sleuth does it again

Would you consider the audio edition of No Cats Allowed to be better than the print version?

Yes

What did you like best about this story?

Charlie is unlike the majority of cozy mystery sleuths. Besides having an oversized, lovable sidekick who's a Maine Coon, Charlie has brains and a good sense of self preservation. He solves the mystery but relies on Kenesha and the police to bring the culprit to justice. It's so refreshing to not have the main character not put himself into unnecessary harm's way by stupidly confronting the villain by himself.

Title: Tall Tail

Subtitle: A Mrs. Murphy Mystery

Author: Sneaky Pie Brown, Rita Mae Brown

Narrator: Kate Forbes

Format: Unabridged

Length: 9 hrs and 54 mins

Language: English

Release date: 05-19-16

Publisher: Recorded Books

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 79 votes

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Modern Detective

Publisher's Summary:

In this fast-paced mystery by Rita Mae Brown and her feline coauthor, Sneaky Pie Brown, Mary Minor "Harry" Haristeen and her animal friends seek to solve a whodunit rooted in 18th-century Virginia - uncovering a shocking secret that refuses to stay buried.

At any moment a perfect summer day in Crozet, Virginia - nestled within the Blue Ridge Mountains - might turn stormy and tempestuous, as Harry knows too well when a squall suddenly sweeps in. In a blink Harry's pickup nearly collides with a careening red car that then swerves into a ditch. Harry recognizes the dead driver slumped over the vehicle's steering wheel: Barbara Leader was nurse and confidante to former Virginia governor Sam Holloway.

Though Barbara's death is ruled a heart attack, dissenting opinions abound. After all, she was the picture of health, which gives Harry and her four-legged companions pause. A baffling break-in at a local business leads Harry to further suspect that a person with malevolent intent lurks just out of sight: Something evil is afoot.

As it happens, Barbara died in the shadow of the local cemetery's statue of the Avenging Angel. Just below that imposing funereal monument lie the remains of one Francisco Selisse, brutally murdered in 1784. Harry's present-day sleuthing draws her back to Virginia's slave-holding past and the hunt for Selisse's killer. Now it's up to Harry and her furry detectives - Mrs. Murphy, Pewter, and Tee Tucker - to expose the bitter truth, even if it means staring into the unforgiving eyes of history and cornering a callous killer poised to pounce.

Best yet

With the exception of the ill conceived "Sneaky Pie for President" this whole series is enjoyable. But, this is absolutely the best yet combining history, genetics, and a dandy mystery plot. Don't miss it

another great fun mystery

Rita Mae Brown writes beautifully:. smart plotting, great word choice and beautiful sentence structure as well as interesting fully-realized characters. Always a great read.

another good listen, excellent story line

if you listen to these light muder mysteries, this is one of their better ones. I have been waiting for it & not disappointed

A very fun activity.

I enjoyed this audio book very much..I listen to one every night I enjpoyedTallTall. An avid fan of sneaky pie and frieze

Good story

I like the historical fiction in this one. Pewter is a hoot as usual. Good read.

Publisher's Summary:

An autumn chill has settled over Busman's Harbor, Maine, but Julia Snowden is warming up the town by offering lobster stew at the local diner. When her landlord discovers a dead body in the walk-in refrigerator, Julia must figure out who ordered up a side of murder. Nothing's colder than a corpse - especially one stashed inside a sub-zero fridge. The victim spent his last night on earth dining at the restaurant bar, so naturally Julia finds herself at the center of the ensuing investigation. Lost in the November fog, however, is who'd want to kill the unidentified stranger - and why. It might have something to do with a suspicious group of retirees and a decades-old tragedy to which they're all connected. One thing's for sure: Julia's going to make solving this mystery her early bird special....

Members Reviews:

A gripping story

Would you listen to Fogged Inn again? Why?

Yes. I think I rushed it a little bit as I couldn't stand the suspense and wanted to know what was going to happen and who was the killer.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Fogged Inn?

I liked the fact that you couldn't figure out until the very end who the killer was. All along it had you guessing who it was.

What about Dara Rosenbergs performance did you like?

I felt really pulled into the story. I think her performance made the suspense more intense.

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

It didn't make me laugh or cry but the suspense just about killed me.

Any additional comments?

I liked who all the characters intermingled during this story. I felt like I was right there next to Julia trying to solve the mystery.

Oh please!

Is there a detective who

1. Does not have insider info from the police

2. Can ask questions of suspects who refuse to answer

3. Does not go off half-cocked because she is in a big 'hurry up'

4. Will not put signifant others at risk from murderers without their knowledge or permission

5. Not be INSTANTLY forgiven for being a total jerk

6. Has to be at work during working hours and needs 7-8 hours sleep?

If so, I'd love to read her story! This is not that book. The detective knows, knows, knows she is right and no one else is even competent. *sigh*

It was okay

This was okay. Julia lost focus of her relationship and the mystery in this book. I didn't agree with the resolution, but, I did enjoy the story. The narrator toned down her performance so that was okay as well.

The plot never thickend

The plot was o.k. , it bordered on boring. The heroin was watery and uninteresting. Maybe I would have enjoyed it more if the narrator did not do such an awful job, I have many audio books and she is the worst of the worst.

Publisher's Summary:

The show must go on...even when monsters are afoot.

Poet Parker is Romani by birth and a fortune teller by choice. As a member of Mystic Caravan Circus, she's spent the past 10 years using her psychic talents to tell people what their future holds by day and hunting paranormal monsters by night.

You see, Mystic Caravan is more than just a circus - it's also a force of good in a world that needs help fighting evil.

Poet is set in her ways - and happy with her life - until Kade Denton shows up and upends the entire operation. He's loud and proud - and Poet doesn't like anyone telling her what to do.

As the new head of security, Kade thinks his only job is going to be tackling drunken revelers when they get out of hand. He's in for a rude - and bloody - awakening.

When monsters strike and the truth comes out, Kade finds he has to learn on the job with Poet as his somewhat reluctant instructor.

Sparks are flying - both real and figurative - and when a truly terrible beast targets the circus for extermination, it's all magical hands on deck for the final showdown.

Some things are born evil, but the people in Mystic Caravan were born to fight it.

Prepare to be amazed.

Members Reviews:

Awful child-like narration

Look, the story, overall wasn't bad; this is not a heavy-lifting book, just a fun light read. However, the narration just ruined an otherwise pleasant story. I don't know why Audible is plagued with so many female narrators who sound like over-caffeinated chipmunks (or extremely high-pitched pre-teens). It's not enjoyable to listen to, especially if one asumes that they are purchasing a book for adults. I hate leaving negative reviews, when the negativity is aimed primarily at the narrator; but, this is an AUDIOBOOK site - so, I do think that narration is extremely important in chosing to purchase a book in audio format. The main character is a woman in her 30's, so it's important (to me at least) to have her sound as such.

Quirky and fun

Where does Freaky Days rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far?

I would put it mid pack as I have listened to some amazing authors as well as narrators. However, I find myself going back to Amanda M. Lee's books as they are humerous and fun

What was one of the most memorable moments of Freaky Days?

That would be giving away plots

Which character as performed by Caitlin Kelly was your favorite?

None specifically stood out. Good read

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

N/A

An interesting twist to the paranormal romance.

I hate that I am a bit of a "soup nazi" when it comes to finding books to read. I almost passed on this very interesting story line because it did not have a perfect 5 star rating. It would have been my loss, although I would have escaped being sucked into another interesting series. :)

Tragically immature book

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

An entirely different story line. The main character is supposed to be 28 yrs old, but comes across as an immature 14 yr. old girl. The narrator's syrupy, childlike voice does nothing to help bring anything redeemable out of this listening experience.

Would you ever listen to anything by Amanda M. Lee again?

No.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

Added to the pure stupidity of the book.

You didnt love this book...

Publisher's Summary:

Channeling his inner Easy Rider, Serge Storms saddles up for his most epic, lethal, and hilarious road trip ever as he revvs off to find the lost American dream...starting in the Florida Panhandle.

Obsessed with the iconic '60s classic Easy Rider, encyclopedic Floridaphile, lovable serial killer, and movie buff extraordinaire Serge A. Storms devises his wildest plan yet: finish the journey begun by his freewheeling heroes, Captain America and Billy, tragically cut short by some shotgun-wielding rednecks.

Setting a course for the Florida Panhandle, Captain Serge - with Coleman literally riding shotgun - mounts his classic motorcycle and hits the highway in search of the real America: the apple-pie-eating, freedom-swilling moms and pops of Main Street USA.

But the America he finds in the rural burgs dotting the neck of the peninsula is a little bit different...and a whole lot weirder than anything Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper encountered. In a state where criminal politicians are more common than gators, Serge and Coleman discover one particular speed-trap locale so aggressively inept at corruption that investigators are baffled about where to start.

Expect nothing less than madness, mayhem, ingenious homicides, and mind-altering pharmaceuticals when Serge and Coleman's path intersects with the Sunshine State's hyper-dysfunctional rusticity.

Where's Jack Nicholson when you need him?

Members Reviews:

Well worth the wait!

Coconut Cowboy is Tim Dorsey's latest book. With Serge at his best yet.

Now I have to wait for the next book.

All Tim Dorsey's books are well worth the time.

Great characters in search of a plot

I enjoyed this book in a weird kind of way. Serge and Holman are completely out there and fun, but there story has nothing to do with the developing story. Then toward the end is the unexpected and dubious link. Bottom line: fun characters who live in what should be considered an alternate reality. Read it with a smile and soon forget it - probably.

laffin' too hard to write

I think Coleman is a distant relative of mine. we need a Surge or two in our country.

Hop on the Crazy Chopper It's Gonna Get Choppy!

This story was just crazy enough to hold my attention & keep me guessing what the heck was going to happen next. This is the best example of cause & effect I've heard of; even better than Joe Diffy's!

someday ...

... I am going to finish the Serge series ... Oh the humanity!

I will be forced to wait for a new release ...

There is nothing quite as satisfying as Serge's a$$hole elimination

Good story but did not like the narrator!

I will have to read part two as the narrator was to much for me. Sounds like a machine reading. Finally had to speed up the pace just to finish. Listen to a sample before you buy.

Story was ok. Will read part two.

Great narration, easily followed

I really enjoyed the flow of this book. The narration keeps you interested.

Looking forward to the next one.

I love this story; great read! on to the next book

I love the story I love the references to kiyonna some of my favorite dresses as well and to the reference to MAC Cosmetics my favorite cosmetic line

Mediocre At Best

I enjoy Victoria Hamilton's other series so I gave this one a try. It went on and on and on with focus in some parts. I had to skip ahead a bit to keep myself interested. On the other hand, the story has interesting characters and a nice town. I will get the next book in the series. Hopefully it will be better.
