Title: Cold Is the Grave

Subtitle: An Inspector Banks Novel

Author: Peter Robinson

Narrator: Ron Keith

Format: Unabridged

Length: 16 hrs and 13 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-01-02

Publisher: Recorded Books

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Modern Detective

Publisher's Summary:

Banks is to locate Emily, Riddle's teenaged daughter, who has run away to London. When he finds her, Banks forges an odd friendship with the wild rebellious girl. He is horrified, then, when she dies from strychnine-laced cocaine a few weeks later. As the troubled Inspector tries to find the killer in London's trendy club scene, he is nagged by a persistent suspicion that both Riddle and his wife may be withholding crucial information.

Cold Is the Grave paints a disturbing picture of people ensnared by webs of alienation, manipulation, and hidden agendas. Narrator Ron Keith perfectly captures the darkness of this world as well as Banks' yearning for meaning and connection.

Critic Reviews:

"[A] canny exploration of contemporary evil....A cunningly constructed plot, enhanced by Robinson's engaging descriptions and insights." (Booklist)

"Sharply nuanced pain, hard-won wisdom, and moral complexity everywhere...Mystery-mongering at once as sensitive and grandly scaled as P.D. James'." (Kirkus Reviews)

"Superbly crafted." (St. Louis Post-Dispatch)

"Full of twists and surprises....Robinson shows he has only begun to dig into the personality of his tenacious, thoughtful inspector." (Chicago Tribune)

Members Reviews:

Very Solid

As a big fan of P.D. James, I was quite pleased to discover Peter Robinson. I have listened to two other Peter Robinson books besides Cold is the Grave and found them all quite satisfying and enjoyable. Robinson is all about character development, each one is really fleshed out psychologically and then he tells you what each character is thinking, feeling, wearing, listening to, eating and so on at any given moment. Obviously this kind of detail can drive some people crazy, especially if a lot of action is what they are looking for, but I really like that kind of detail, and Robinson does do it well. The narrator may take a little getting used to, he tends to sort of "chortle out" his female voices sometimes, but really he is quite good. Cold Is the Grave was a good story and Robinson leaves you wondering who did it till the last, but that is not even why I like his books. It's more the journey there rather than the destination that makes it a good listen.

Narrator mars a great mystery

I've thoroughly enjoyed 7 of Robinson's previous Inspector Banks mysteries, all narrated by James Langton. I felt like I knew Alan Banks and his family & associates, and I liked them. Mr Keith's narration, however, ruins all this familiarity. Where Langton's Banks was intelligent, sensitive, and sexy, Mr. Keith's interpretation makes Banks sound like an unappealingly obtuse geezer. I'll be switching to print immediately.

Another Good British Cop Story

I am an Ian Rankin fan and one day, when I couldn't find an Ian Rankin book that I hadn't already read, another customer in the bookstore told me to read Peter Robinson. I would like to thank that woman because she turned me on to another well-written, unconventional British cop series.

"Cold Is The Grave" is a story that kept me involved with not only an interesting plot but interesting characters, as well. The characters are very real. Alan Banks, a small town English policeman, doesn't solve the mystery because he is smarter than everyone else.

Publisher's Summary:

Now, more than a century later, as the house is being renovated, the bones of a young woman are found in the backyard. She is identified as Martha Lawrence, who disappeared four years earlier. Clutched in Martha's skeletal hand is the finger bone of another woman with a ring still on it - a Shapley family heirloom.

When Emily investigates the link between her family's past and the recent murder, she provokes a devious and seductive killer, who selects her as his next victim.

Critic Reviews:

"The cleverly complex plot gallops along at a great clip...just may be Clark's best in years." (Amazon.com)

Members Reviews:

Very well done...

I thought that this book was fantastically written. All the perspectives that she gives are so vivid and up till the end, the villain is still completely hidden. Suspenseful and action packed.

Cozy read

I enjoyed this book - a light easy whodunit in a comfortable setting with likable characters. I loved the descriptions of the house - made me want to move in immediately. I will buy more Mary Higgins Clarke.

On the Street Where You Live

This would have been a so much better listen with a different narrator. She is trying to give a feeling of suspense, I guess. But it is very aggravating that she tends to try to give this impression by a certain breathiness in her voice delivery in the narration. And why does she end every sentence on an up note. I find myself longing to hear a definitive sentence. This is an aggravation I have to mentally block in order to stay with the story.

Actually I live most of the year in China, and rely on Audible. Books in English are not easily available here. Audible is truly a blessing!! Thanks!

More Please...

Thrilling.... had me listening everyday until it came to an end. :-(

Excellent

Excellent "seat of your pants" mystery.

Made a very long car trip just fly by!

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Modern Detective

Publisher's Summary:

Meanwhile, Terry McCaleb is enjoying an idyllic retirement on Catalina Island when a visit from an old colleague brings his former world rushing back. It's a murder, the unreadable kind of murder he specialized in solving back in his FBI days. The investigation has stalled, and the sheriff's office is asking McCaleb to take a quick look at the murder book to see if he turns up something they've missed.

McCaleb's first reading of the crime scene leads him to look for a methodical killer with a taste for rituals and revenge. As his quick look accelerates into a full-sprint investigation, the two crimes - his murdered loner and Bosch's movie director - begin to overlap strangely. With one unsettling revelation after another, they merge, becoming one impossible, terrifying case, involving almost inconceivable calculation. McCaleb believes he has unmasked the most frightening killer ever to cross his sights. But his investigation tangles with Bosch's lines, and the two men find themselves at odds in the most dangerous investigation of their lives.

Members Reviews:

Entertaining and intelligent

As with all Michael Connelly's novels, this is a well thought out and structured story. For previous readers, the combination of the two previously known detectives adds another layer of interest.

Michael Beck is awesome!!!

Where does A Darkness More Than Night rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far?

Another great Michael Connelly book!

What other book might you compare A Darkness More Than Night to and why?

John Grisham The Summons

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

Yes

Any additional comments?

Any book read by Michael Beck is a masterpiece!!!

Good Bosch

Would you listen to A Darkness More Than Night again? Why?

No. I'm trying to make it through all the Bosch books in order.

What did you like best about this story?

As with other Bosch books, I like the police "insider" info and his interaction with his partner(s).

Which character as performed by Michael Beck was your favorite?

Bosch

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

No.

Any additional comments?

It's similar to other Bosch books...a good listen. I like all the readers involved in the Bosch series but think it would be better if the same reader performed all the books.

More of the same

I think it's just because I first started reading this author's books years ago, but I'm quite weary of the characters and the plots. I fortunately read "The Poet" and "Trunk Music", both of which I found wonderfully written and great fun to read. This book is probably enjoyable to those who haven't read any of these, but I'm just a bit weary of what sounds like the same plot twists carried out by the same characters. The narrator was great.

If you like Connelly...

I rather liked The Poet but Conelly's books have left me rather cold since then - there's something ersatz about everything - the characters, their problems, the dialogue - most of all the overly contrived prose and plotting. If he's trying for modern day Chandler, he's not making it. For those who like his stuff, I have nothing against the audiobook - it's very well read: it's the underlying book I found tedious

Disappointing

I have been a fan of the Cat Who books for years and have enjoyed reading & listening to many of them. This book however is missing a very important section of the story. Because that section is omitted the listener is asking what happened? At first I thought I had just missed it but upon backtracking I found that it just wasn't there. I hope the rest of the Cat Who books are not the same way. I was very disappointed in the way this book was abridged.

Big mistake

This series is wonderful and I only listen to the audiobooks as a way to pass the time while doing chores but this is the first time that I have listened to the abridged version of a title. Since I have never not liked a title before, I didn't read the reviews - big mistake. Now I wish that I did because it would have save me a credit. This version is horrible - I felt as if a huge pieces of the story was missing and they were never explained. I felt confused almost the whole time. The story jumped from everyone trying to guess who a mystery woman was to her writing a letter to Qwill when she left town. It was so bad that I stopped listening to it!

BAD Abridgment

Great Story! Great Author! Terrible abridgment! I have this on cassette edtion and i felt like I missed part of it! Please get more UNabridged Cat who books

the cat who mysteries

I love these mysteries. so much fun to read about the antics of these cats.

Wondrful

Mason. Adams is an excellent reader. The voice changes for the characters are enthralling. Lilian Jackson Braun was one of the most amazing and winning authors of this time . Her books are always a pleasure, and when read by Mason Adams or George Guidall , they are treasures to be revisited again and again.

Title: A Sleeping Life

Subtitle: A Chief Inspector Wexford Mystery, Book 10

Author: Ruth Rendell

Narrator: Nigel Anthony

Format: Unabridged

Length: 5 hrs and 50 mins

Language: English

Release date: 05-04-09

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 82 votes

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Modern Detective

Publisher's Summary:

The body found under the hedge was that of a middle-aged woman. With nothing more to go on than what appeared to be a sardonic gleam in the wide and staring eyes of the victim, Its time for Wexford and his team to get pro-active. From a seemingly unremarkable death comes an intricate web of lies and deception. A wallet found in the victims handbag leads our hero, Inspector Wexford to a Mr. Grenville West, a writer whose plots revel in the blood, thunder, and passion of dramas of old; whose current whereabouts are unclear; and whose curious secretary--the plain Polly Flinders--provides the Inspector with more questions than answers. And when a second Grenville West comes to light, Wexford faces a dizzying array of possible scenarios--and suspects--behind the Comfrey murder.

Members Reviews:

chapters are repeated

This is a good book, but each chapter has been put on twice, 1, 1, 2, 2, etc. This is annoying

Another great tale of Inspector Wexford.

I particularly enjoyed this one, despite quickly uncovering the solution, and having to wait for the Inspector and his team to catch up - but it was a fun ride all the same.

Other highlights were the descriptions of 1970s London - oh, if only we could visit Hampstead in that day instead of today!

quirky and cool!

as always... Rendell manages to keep you guessing.. Narration pretty good also. a good read!

Twists and turns

Inspector Wexford seems to be stumped on this one, with many digressions I certainly didn't expect. Excellent narration. I only wish the book had been longer.

Dated, but still enjoyable

I like Inspector Wexford and I enjoy returning to the Wexford series, but they are now very dated. The plot was very interesting but some of the language and attitudes in the book are a bit uncomfortable for a modern reader. The narrator was excellent and I enjoyed listening to this book.

Publisher's Summary:

One of Victorian London's most respected undertakers, Violet Harper has the new duty of accompanying coffins from various undertakers on the London Necropolis Railway for respectful funerals and burials in Surrey. But on her fateful first trip, the mournful silence of the train is shattered by the shrill ringing of a coffin bell - a device that prevents a person from being buried alive.

Inside the noisome coffin, Violet finds a man wide-eyed with fear, claiming he was falsely interred. When a second coffin bell is rung on another trip Violet grows suspicious. She voices her qualms to Inspector Hurst of Scotland Yard, only to receive a puzzling reply that, after all, it is not a crime to rise from the dead. But Violet's instincts are whispering that all is not well on the London Necropolis Railway's tracks. Is this all merely the result of clumsy undertaking, or is there something more sinister afoot?

Determined to get to the heart of the matter, Violet uncovers a treacherous plot and villains who will stop at nothing to keep a lid on her search for the truth.

Members Reviews:

Excellent story, narration is annoying

Right out of the gate let it be noted that I really enjoy Ms. Trent's writing. Her main character is a great product of a gifted author's wonderful imagination; a female undertaker who is also an amateur sleuth. Great idea! The time and setting are also perfect for my taste - England, 1800s. A set-up for a great listen. Right? Sadly, wrong.

While Ms. Lee's voice is very pleasant when she is speaking the 'perfect King's English,' when she is trying to ape an American accent (complete with Southern accent no less), things go awry. And, there is more than one character that requires this. It just didn't work for me. Also, the style and speed of her reading seems 'off' somehow. Maybe too slow? Maybe without enough emotion in many circumstances? Many too automated? Unsure exactly what the problem is.

I really wanted to recommend this book heart-and-soul, but found the narration too annoying to get much through more than half.

Never disappoints...

I've enjoyed all of these novels. Great series. It's a combination of Sherlock meets Nancy Drew (Carolyn Keene's originals, of course).

Disappointing!

The suit on was apparent within three chapters and our heroine flails about for the rest of the book making unfounded accusations ad nauseum . Mrs Harper has also become quite priggish and very judgmental about everyone but herself making her rather unpleasant. I do enjoy the historical details and customs.

Strange appeal of this series

Would you listen to The Mourning Bells again? Why?

I don't know if I would listen to this one again. But I have been listening to the series and find it strangely appealing. Perhaps it is the weird subject of Victorian England and learning about the strange world of the undertaker. After all,it is Halloween. Perhaps it is the sometimes soothing, but sometimes amazingly awful, accents and voices of Polly Lee. She has a great British accent, the pace is soothing, she's easy to understand and hear, - but every voice that is male is awful.

What did you like best about this story?

I liked the Victorian setting and the history of the setting. I also liked learning about the death rituals of the era, which I have only seen in art works from the time.

Title: The Spellmans Strike Again

Subtitle: A Novel

Author: Lisa Lutz

Narrator: Christina Moore

Format: Unabridged

Length: 10 hrs

Language: English

Release date: 03-16-10

Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 271 votes

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Modern Detective

Publisher's Summary:

At the ripe old age of 32, former wild child Isabel "Izzy" Spellman has finally agreed to take over the family business. And the transition won't be a smooth one.

First among her priorities as head of Spellman Investigations is to dig up some dirt on the competition, slippery ex-cop Rick Harkey - a task she may enjoy a little too much. Next, faced with a baffling missing-persons case at the home of an aging millionaire, Izzy hires an actor friend, Len, to infiltrate the mansion as an undercover butler - a role he may enjoy a little much.

Meanwhile, Izzy is being blackmailed by her mother (photographic evidence of Prom Night 1994) to commit to regular blind dates with promising professionals - an arrangement that doesn't thrill Connor, an Irish bartender on the brink of becoming Ex-boyfriend #12.

At Spellman headquarters, it's business as unusual. Doorknobs and light fixtures are disappearing every day, Mom's been spotted crying in the pantry, and a series of increasingly demanding Spellman Rules (Rule #27: No Speaking Today) can't quite hold the family together. Izzy also has to decipher weekly "phone calls from the edge" from her octogenarian lawyer, Morty, as well as Detective Henry Stone's mysterious interest in rekindling their relationsh...well, whatever it was.

Just when it looks like things can't go more haywire, little sister Rae's internship researching pro bono legal cases leads the youngest Spellman to launch a grassroots campaign that could spring an innocent man from jail - or land Rae in it.

The Spellmans Strike Again is hands down the most hilarious, thrilling, and moving book in this bestselling, award-nominated series. And it proves beyond a reasonable doubt that Isabel Spellman, no matter how much she matures, will never be able to follow Rule #1: Act Normal.

Critic Reviews:

The wisecracks crackle....Those in the market for mayhem and mirth will revel in Lutz's irresistible blend of suspense, irony, and wit. (Booklist)

Members Reviews:

If you liked the previous books... STAY AWAY!

I really hated giving this book a 1 star rating, but the reader completely ruins this book. I love the Spellman series! I read two of the books before I found them on audio. Usually I don't double-purchase a book, but the sample of Ari Graynor's narration convinced me to give them a listen as well as a read. She was spot-on in her voicing of all the characters.

For this final book in the Spellman series, however, for some poorly conceived reason, a new narrator was selected. Nothing is good about this choice of narrator. This 0-star performance from the reader is tortuous to listen to. I would like to note that the reader seems fairly competent; pacing and pronounciation were acceptable. Unfortunately, she is just about the most inappropriate reader possible for this series.

First, Isabel is 30 years old; this reader makes her sound in her 50's. Basically, everyone sounds in his or her 50's at least-- even Rae.

Publisher: Bookouture

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 26 votes

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Modern Detective

Publisher's Summary:

How do you catch a killer who knows your every move?

She drew the curtains and returned to the kitchen where she removed the bottle of vodka from the freezer and reached for the large kitchen knife. If he dared to come back, she'd be ready for him.

When a body is found hanging in the remains of a dock-side warehouse, detective Kate Matthews is called to the scene. Recently transferred following the death of a colleague, Kate is yet to see a successful prosecution over the line. But this won't be an easy win....

Someone is watching her: leaving her clues in her home, taunting her to throw the case and threatening the life of her little girl.

As more bodies begin to surface and Kate's stalker closes in, her instincts tell her that there is a link hidden among the victims' missing pieces. This is a killer with a message and Kate must race against the clock to solve his twisted riddle.

But at the end of this impossible puzzle lies an impossible choice....

A dark and compulsive cat-and-mouse thriller that will keep you guessing to the very end. Perfect for fans of Angela Marsons, Sarah Hilary, and Patricia Gibney.

Members Reviews:

Not terrible but not great either

I found the main character annoying. Her decisions were stupid and selfish. I find it hard to believe a mum would run out of the house after receiving a threat on your child and 'forget' to check on her until ages later! Obviously written by a man as women wouldn't react like this.

Not my favourite listen

Usually I enjoy books that stretch my imagination, books that most people declare too far fetched to fully enjoy but this one is a step too far.

.

Kate acquires a stalker not far into the book who threatens her daughter so the first thing Kate does is LEAVE THE FLAT leaving the threatened child sleeping alone. The stalker later breaks into her flat, not once but several times, still Kate refuses to report this or seek protection for her daughter.

Once we hit the final run, we find out who the real killer is, now I don't want to post spoilers but the killer is the most improbable candidate considering all the physical activity that has surrounded his crimes! I wasn't surprised though, I was beyond surprise by this point, I felt only relief that it was all going to be over soon. Although the Saw theme music kept bouncing around in my head whilst the bad guy made his dreadful speech. The literal end was even more stupid, he wanted a last cigarette but did not have time as the police would certainly soon be arriving, but he was very definitely in a position to have that last smoke given what his next move was going to be.

I do not like Emma Newman's narration either, she speaks too slowly but this may suit some people.

Overall, Kate is the most irritating person and a dreadful Detective, all of the characters in this book, with the exception of Chloe and the childminder, are obnoxious people, maybe it's a Southampton thing, or maybe it has something to do with them all being petty minded, unprofessional idiots.

Title: Talking to the Dead

Subtitle: A Novel

Author: Harry Bingham

Narrator: Siriol Jenkins

Format: Unabridged

Length: 11 hrs and 8 mins

Language: English

Release date: 09-25-12

Publisher: Random House Audio

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 195 votes

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Modern Detective

Publisher's Summary:

A mesmerizing and thrilling novel - perfect for fans of Tana French and Stieg Larsson - that introduces a modern, unforgettable rookie cop whose past is as fascinating and as deadly as the crimes she investigates.

She knows what it's like....

At first, the murder scene appears sad, but not unusual: a young woman undone by drugs and prostitution, her six-year-old daughter dead alongside her. But then detectives find a strange piece of evidence in the squalid house: the platinum credit card of a very wealthy - and long dead - steel tycoon. What is a heroin-addicted hooker doing with the credit card of a well-known and powerful man who died months ago? This is the question that the most junior member of the investigative team, Detective Constable Fiona Griffiths, is assigned to answer.

But D.C. Griffiths is no ordinary cop. Shes earned a reputation at police headquarters in Cardiff, Wales, for being odd, for not picking up on social cues, for being a little overintense. And theres that gap in her past, the two-year hiatus that everyone assumes was a breakdown. But Fiona is a crack investigator, quick and intuitive. She is immediately drawn to the crime scene, and to the tragic face of the six-year-old girl, who she is certain has something to tell her...something that will break the case wide open.

Ignoring orders and protocol, Fiona begins to explore far beyond the rich mans credit card and into the secrets of her seaside city. And when she uncovers another dead prostitute, Fiona knows that shes only begun to scratch the surface of a dark world of crime and murder. But the deeper she digs, the more danger she risks - not just from criminals and killers but from her own past...and the abyss that threatens to pull her back at any time.

Members Reviews:

Not the best thing I've ever read, but...

....Harry Bingham's thriller *is* evocative and will keep your interest if you're a fan of police procedurals. Some of it seems trite (the main character is always in trouble with her boss ala Dirty Harry) but it really pokes and prods at how a lot of us feel like like 'the outsider in society.' Siriol Jenkins' lilting narration is astonishing, truly, and the voice Bingham gives to protagonist Fiona Griffiths is haunting, lonely and finely spun. Fiona is forever wrestling with her instincts and the rules of society, often coming out the loser. And, of course, there are two grisly murders to contend with.

Buy this book

It is very difficult to write a review of a book, like this. I almost don't know who to credit more, the author or the narrator. Frankly, if it were allowed, I'd give many more than 5 stars.

Trying not to provide a spoiler (very difficult), in what should be a pretty straightforward procedural, I suddenly find myself looking at this more as a character study, or a series of such that comes to a not unexpected and logical conclusion...just not the one I was expecting.

Ms. Jenkins provides the absolute right voice for a young heroine trying to find herself and her voice in a situation for which she was not brought up or, for that matter, educated.

At this point, I can only hope that this is the start of a series.

Publisher's Summary:

A famous mystery writer drowns in a hotel bathtub. Was it an accident, or foul play? His ghost thinks it was murder. His mystery writer colleagues want to help Mary solve the case.

Gary Copper is still on the loose, and gunning for both Bradley and Mary. And, in between all the murder and mayhem, Mary and Bradley are desperately trying to walk up the aisle. Will they ever become husband and wife?

Members Reviews:

Mega Story lines

Would you listen to Veiled Passages again? Why?

Yes, I would listen again. There is so much in this book, questions answered, suspenseful, twists and turns. A new case as usual, but also old concerns and of course the romance. I am sure that I will discover a new angle or things I didn't notice the first time.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Veiled Passages?

Without giving away spoilers, I would have to say that Copper's reappearance steps up the suspense. The side story of Mary's brother, Sean also adds to the characters.

What does Erin Spencer bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?

I enjoy the audible version because I enjoy listening as I commute many miles. Erin doesn't always have the same intonations that I would put on the passages, but the unique sense of humor that is Terri Reid's still comes through!

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

Danger Ahead!

Any additional comments?

I have fallen in love with all the Mary O'Reilly characters. I read faster than Terri writes, so I have had to have patience. I have also explored other authors dabbling in the Mary O'Reilly series, but I always love Terri Reid's the best.
