Publisher's Summary:

CJ and Stella are to be married in eight days. Yes, finally, they are doing the deed. They've been declining new, involved cases (Stella is now a licensed P.I.) in preparation for the honeymoon to New Zealand, but the call from Parker DuPont in St. Petersburg, Florida has them on a private jet and then settled into a luxury stateroom aboard the French super yacht, Angel of Paradise.

They have their own steward who calls them monsieur and mademoiselle. Their client, and yacht owner, billionaire Édouard Philippe Monnier, is paying three times the going rate to prove that his son, one of two 23-year-old identical twins, did not commit suicide, as the medical examiner has determined.

Did Jesper Monnier die at his own hand or was it the young man who the twins hustled on the pool table in Atlantic City, or a jealous boyfriend, or a disgruntled employee of the huge superyacht? Or was it someone else altogether? And who is FBI Special Agent Jessie Milwood, who CJ's son is bringing to the wedding? He's never said anything about a girlfriend.

Members Reviews:

I want the sequel now!!

A wealthy French family can't accept the tragic suicide of their son, Jesper and ask the Deputy in charge to recommend a PI who wasn't local or a big name, to quietly investigate. He offered to triple CJ's going rate, plus transportation on his private jet, limo service and a luxury room aboard the yacht. Who could turn that down? The only problem is that CJ and Stella are getting married in eight days! Will Stella go for it and if she does, can they really solve the mystery in the eight days before the wedding? As I read the last word in Angel of Death, I felt cheated the next book in the series was not available yet. CJ Washburn and his partner Stella make a great PI team and a fun, engaging read.

Suicide or Murder?

Identical twin sons of a billonaire, like to hustle people at playing pool. When one of them allegedly commits suicide, the family can't accept it, and wants it investigated. Detective Parker Dupont asks private investigators C.J. Washburn and Stella Summers to take on the case. They travel to Florida where the death took place. When the case is over, they take a break from work to get married, and go on there honeymoon.

Publisher's Summary:

Claire Malloy - Arkansas bookseller and widowed mother - after a long courtship has finally said "I do" to her swain, Lieutenant Peter Rosen. Now they are on their honeymoon in Luxor, Egypt. That is, Claire is on her honeymoon - accompanied by Caron, her teenaged daughter, and Inez, Caron's best friend and frequent partner in adventure. Peter is mostly away on various mysterious consultations with equally mysterious government agencies for his new mysterious job. Claire is intent on a quiet, uneventful honeymoon, but things go from bucolic to creepy, when Caron and Inez are chased through darkened deserted alleys, by persons unknown, and a student of their acquaintance is kidnapped by two young men on horseback in a scene reminiscent of a Valentino film. Something is clearly afoot in this tourist paradise, and Claire will stop at nothing to find out what it is.

Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.

Fun setting

I actually enjoyed this title quite a bit. The story was a little convoluted, but the setting was great. It would have been nice if Peter hung around a little more since he just married Claire, but she manages to get herself into plenty of trouble with him absent. I think it was a spoof of the spook community and that is kind of fun. I loved her descriptions of Egypt and the Winter Palace, although I was amazed at how little Claire actually managed to see in Luxor, which is one of the most fabulous places on earth to visit. But the Lake Nasser cruise was fun, and the abduction of one of the cruise members was a hoot. I also enjoyed the parody of the British ex-pat community (I hope folks realize it really is waaaay over the top). All in all a fun spoof of an Agatha Christie-type mystery.

Loved it with good reason!!

This was a a very good book! She is quite accurate historically. He main characters are very likable, there were twists and turns I was not expecting!! It all came to a good end! This was my first Joan Hess, it far from my last!!

Joan Hess takes on Egypt

Claire Malloyâs honeymoon in Egypt is one for the books, and so here it is. Lots of laughs, although Iâm getting a little tired of Caron and Inez.

I'd easily recommend it to her readers

Without overburdening the book with darkness, there are some very timely references to what have turned out to be continuing troubles in Egypt. But the style and sensibilities of the tale remain as usual in Miss Hess' books. I'd easily recommend it to her readers.

I Love Hess

I love all of the Claire Malloy series. There may be gaffs or slip-ups in the stories at times, but I am laughing out loud so often, I can't seem to find them. I don't understand how someone can be continually funny through so many volumes of books in different series.

Members Reviews:

One of my favourite series of books

This was an enjoyable read, perhaps not the best in the series but well worth reading. It was an interesting plot beautifully read by Joe Dunlop. This series of books is one of my favourites, the characters are well drawn and likeable and the plots are always believable and relevant.

Title: A Small Weeping

Subtitle: DSI Lorimer, Book 2

Author: Alex Gray

Narrator: Joe Dunlop

Language: English

Release date: 11-23-17

Publisher: Little, Brown Book Group

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 5 votes

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Modern Detective

Publisher's Summary:

The body of a prostitute is found at Glasgow's Queen Street Station, her hands, pointing towards her feet, placed as if in prayer, a small flower pressed between the palms. Psychologist Solomon Brightman is called to assist DCI Lorimer in the murder hunt, with the hope that his lateral thinking will shine a light on the case from a different angle. But before any conclusions can be drawn, the body of a nurse is discovered at The Grange, a private clinic.

Aside from the careful arrangement of the corpses, there is no obvious connection between the victims; Lorimer and Solomon are still very much in the dark. Then a third body turns up, and it seems increasingly clear that they have a serial killer on their hands.

This is an old story not a newby

Still pretty good tho if a little out of sync. I wish audible would post a published date as well as the date older novels are added, would save buying and listening again!

I love this series of books

This book was very good, every bit as good as all the others in the series. The narration was excellent and it was very easy to listen to and the plot was interesting and credible and it was not easy to guess the ending. I have no hesitation in recommending this book to others.

Publisher's Summary:

Fans of Janet Evanovich and Carl Hiaasen, get ready. If you haven't yet discovered wisecracking sleuth Stewart "Hoagy" Hoag and his faithful basset hound, Lulu, you're in for a sharp, hilarious treat.

Once upon a time, Hoagy had it all: a hugely successful debut novel, a gorgeous celebrity wife, the glamorous world of New York City at his feet. These days, he scrapes by as a celebrity ghostwriter. A celebrity ghostwriter who finds himself investigating murders more often than he'd like.

And, once upon a time, Richard Aintree was the most famous writer in America - high school students across the country read his one and only novel, a modern classic on par with The Catcher in the Rye. But after his wife's death, Richard went into mourning...and then into hiding. No one has heard from him in 20 years.

Until now. Richard Aintree - or someone pretending to be Richard Aintree - has at last reached out to his two estranged daughters. Monette is a lifestyle queen à la Martha Stewart whose empire is crumbling; and, once upon a time, Reggie was the love of Hoagy's life. Both sisters have received mysterious typewritten letters from their father.

Hoagy is already on the case, having been hired to ghostwrite a tell-all book about the troubled Aintree family. But no sooner does he set up shop in the pool house of Monette's Los Angeles mansion than murder strikes. With Lulu at his side - or more often cowering in his shadow - it's up to Hoagy to unravel the mystery, catch the killer, and pour himself that perfect single-malt Scotch...before it's too late.

Critic Reviews:

"One of my all-time favorite series! David Handler is so good at writing one smart, funny page-turner after another that he makes it look easy." (Harlan Coben)

Members Reviews:

Great Read

Terrific intro to a classic series. This is my intro to character but it has made me want to read the original series. Please keep them coming in this revival.

I loved it

I loved it. Cannot wait to read the next book. Being a lover of mystery and my dogs, this is a perfect way to spend the day..

Fun to read!

Thoroughly enjoyed this book, loved the characters, the setting (1992, NYC and LA) and hard a hard time putting it down.

Four Stars

Another entertaining and fun read, even thought I don't particularly care for Basset hounds.

Five Stars

Can't help but love Hoagy and Lulu. Fun reading with unexpected twists and turns.

Publisher's Summary:

When a burned body is found in a disused signal box, suspicion falls on lonely teenager Gabriel Webb. There's no doubt he was at the scene of the crime, but does he really deserve what awaits him in prison?

DS Imogen Grey is certain there's more to the case than meets the eye. But while she struggles to convince those around her of the truth, her partner, DS Adrian Miles, is distracted by his own demons.

When a brutal double murder is reported, their investigation is stopped in its tracks. Is the body in the box even who they thought it was? The duo realise Gabriel might have been locked up for a crime he didn't commit. But with enemies watching Gabriel's every move, they may be too late.

Miles and Grey are back in the thrilling new novel from best-selling author Katerina Diamond, perfect for fans of Karin Slaughter and M. J. Arlidge.

Critic Reviews:

"A terrific story, originally told. All hail the new Queen of Crime!" (Heat)

"A web of a plot that twists and turns and keeps the reader on the edge of their seat. This formidable debut is a page-turner, but don't read it before bed if you're easily spooked!" (The Sun)

Members Reviews:

good book

just a good book. not great. story line a little weak. wouldn't try this author again and hope it improves.

Absolutely loved the 3 books

I am truly gutted that I've finished the 3 books, may have to listen again.

Amazing author

I've loved every book Katrina has written!!!!!

I'm completely in love with grey, dean and miley!!

Not the best...sorry

Having read the first two books and absolutely loving the first and liking the second, im left a little disappointed with this particular installment. I found the storyline rather dull and a little underwhelming. Large parts of the story seemed a bit pointless and gave you a sense that they were leading somewhere, when actually it simply fizzled out. Overall a rather disappointing third addition, which is a huge shame as "The Teacher" is one of my all time faves.

a satisfying conclusion

this was the best of trilogy and perhaps the most enjoyable. I hope there'll be more in the future.

Title: Witch You Well

Publisher's Summary:

Dead billionaires are not good for business!

That's what Aunt Pearl complains to Cen when the dead body is found in the cozy family inn at Westwick Corners.

Still, it's not Cen's problem. She lives an ordinary life away from her witch-ful family for a reason. She got her ordinary fiancee, and her ordinary job as a journalist - using no magic whatsoever, and no inconvenient local murder is going to change her comfortable existence.

Even if the entire town is now accusing Aunt Pearl of murdering her guest. Even if her fiancee is acting weird and talking about seeing ghosts. Even if the town's sexy new sheriff, Tyler Gates, treats her like the most hexing of all the witches.

If you love funny cozy mysteries infused with a dose of humor and the supernatural, you'll love this paranormal witch cozy!

Witch You Well is the first audiobook in the Westwick Witches Cozy Mysteries series by Colleen Cross.

From the author:

Westwick Corners isn't your typical small town. Or even a normal ghost town. It's where people go not to be found, and witches go to work their magic without attracting too much attention. The combination makes from some interesting and humorous mysteries, and the witches are always at the center of the action!

Ruby's cooking, Cendrine's amateur sleuth and investigator activities, and Aunt Pearl's magic school are always looking for that one secret ingredient that will propel the witches to fame and fortune, and put the small town of Westwick Corners back on the map again. The witches are forever cooking up new business opportunities while they unravel riddles, spin magic spells, and create their own witch mysteries.

Members Reviews:

Fun story.

Cendrine Cen West lives in a small town called Westwick Corners. She is descendant from a powerful line of witches, but she doesn't practice that much. She is in the process of marrying the mayor and having the grand reopening of her Inn. Life is good... until the day of her grand reopening sees a billionaire murdered and all clues pointing to her Aunt Pearl. It's up to Cen to try to figure out who the murderer is, while trying to keep her Aunt Pearl from antagonising the new Sheriff, Tyler, and getting thrown in jail for murder.

This was a fun read. I liked the characters but thought the mystery left a lot to be desired!! I'm sorry, but who leaves the murder weapon in a bin, in their room?? There were a few elements like this that had me rolling my eyes and thinking, seriously, you couldn't find a better way to handle that!!! The mystery of who murdered him was also kind of glaringly obvious. I wanted a little more subtlety, a lot more mystery!! I also didn't particularly like the fact that Cen fell for Tyler so quick.

Other than that, it's a fun read. The characters are all well written, I liked Aunt Pearl a lot!! We get the typical cozy mystery feel to the book and it was easy to read. It's a book that I call a mindless read, and I don't mean that in a bad way! By "mindless read" I mean a book that I can read and not have to concentrate on too much or put a lot of effort into to.

In all, this was an easy read with some flaws.

Petrea Burchard was ok.

Title: Pulped

Subtitle: The Simeon Grist Mysteries, Book 7

Author: Timothy Hallinan

Narrator: Keith Szarabajka

Format: Unabridged

Length: 10 hrs and 17 mins

Language: English

Release date: 07-03-17

Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc.

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 7 votes

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Modern Detective

Publisher's Summary:

Timothy Hallinan's private eye Simeon Grist has gone out of print, and he's pissed about it.

Simeon thought he was living a good life - solving mysteries, falling in and out of love, risking life and limb to do the right thing. Then the last Simeon Grist mystery was pulped to make newsprint, and he woke up in a room where nothing ever changed except his sense of who he was: His entire existence was a work of fiction that the real world was in the process of forgetting. And when one of his few remaining readers is murdered, Simeon discovers that he can - at great risk - step out of the pages of his books and into the world of the living. The only problem: Even if he succeeds in solving the murder, winning the love of a real-life woman, and finding the man who wrote him, he could still die trying.

Members Reviews:

Timothy Hallinan is back, baby!

I admit to a bit of bewilderment during the beginning of this new book. It took awhile to mentally shift gears & accept Simeon's new reality. But I'm very pleased that I did.

By the way, if it's true that publisher's turned away previous Simeon Grist novels, they should be switched.

Anyway, Hallinan is one of those author's I periodically check on to see if anything new has come up in the Audible catalog. And after viewing his site, it appears that he has a couple of new titles not yet available on Audible...so please get on that, Audible!

I'm thoroughly looking forward to the next new book, Mr Hallinan, and I sincerely hope you keep writing for years (& avoid your inner Patsy and/or Pansy).

Amazing return for Simeon

Loved it. An absolutely brilliant way to bring back the character. Basically perfect. The narration is very good too. An easy voice to listen to with a good pace.

Publisher's Summary:

Spencer Murphy is a national treasure. A famous correspondent during the Vietnam War who escaped captivity in Southeast Asia, he made a fortune off of his books and television appearances. But Spence is growing forgetful with age; he's started to wander and even fails to come home one night.

When a body is discovered at Step Above, the sprawling Murphy house near Steps Beach, Nantucket police detective Meredith Folger is called in to investigate. The timing couldn't be worse: It's the Fourth of July, Merry's planning her wedding to cranberry farmer Peter Mason, and her new police chief is gunning for her job. Merry is inclined to call the death at Step Above a tragic accident until another member of the Murphy clan comes to a brutal end. As Merry grapples with a family of unreliable storytellers - some incapable of recalling the past and others determined that it never be known - she suspects that the truth may be forever out of reach, trapped in the failing brain of a man whose whole life may be a lie.

Members Reviews:

Murder on the Fourth

A wonderful mystery with your basic animal impulses in play : greed, ego, hate, jealousy, and more greed. The characters are beautifully drawn. Primarily there is the young female detective whose family has run the police department since its inception;then the stern police chief from

"off" who knows no one and seemingly wants to know no one and who likes no one; and the pathologist who is your typical pathologist. The young detective must rise to the occasion and solve the convoluted mystery which eventually involves multiple murders, not to mention 2 wills one superseding the next. The family members each have their own reasons to kill which makes for a great time deciding "who done it". And they did it all on the weekend of the Fourth of July!

Interesting mystery

I both read and listened to this book and found it thoroughly enjoyable. Merry Folger Nantucket Mysteries is not a series I had read before but I found it to be approachable as a standalone novel. The detective is complicated and interesting, although I did not always feel sure of her ability. The story was also complicated and thoroughly enjoyable. Some of the actions of the other characters int he story seemed a little silly but then, maybe that is necessary in a mystery. It probably wouldn't work if everyone just told the truth.

Death in a Cold Hard Light"" is a hit!!!

First started this series because my wife and I greatly enjoy Cape Cod and the islands---so when I saw the title and that it was set on

Nantucket, I bought the first book in this series---Death in a Cold Hard Light---and, as it turned out, we were greatly pleased that I had

done so.

The characters, and their interactions, are exceptionally well-drawn---plus the Nantucket location is an excellent backdrop without being

merely a mystery travelogue.

And now, having read all five, I can honestly say that this quality of these mysteries has only improved as more of them are available

and we greatly look forward to the next title---highly recommended.

Craig

A bit disappointed

I tried to read this book but just could not into it. The characters were bland and I just can not see a female sheriff marring a man whose family were as described as billionaires.
