Critic Reviews:

"Everything the cerebral puzzle-addict craves, from tempting red herrings to literary arcana to deliciously plotted surprises." (Kirkus)

Grumpy Detective

Peter Diamond is grumpy and sometimes self serving. But he's clever and determined and I like him. I started reading these books many years ago and have revisited them in audio format.

You won't find non-stop action in these stories. You will fine intricate plots, and interesting, sometimes humorous, characters. I'd describe this series as a cozy police procedural - no graphic violence, no rough language, good stories, a bit a humor, and very entertaining.

Michael Healy's narration is excellent.

I think Diamonds best cases ever!

I've very much enjoyed this series having accidentally started into the first book thinking it was one of another authors books! Didn't mind because I really liked Inspector Diamond.

Every now and again I find one of them available on Audible which either hadn't been available when I cruised through the series originally. This story was just great as Ingeborg gets her break. Subtle tongue in cheek present as ever.

Love lovesey, not healy

After adoring the Simon prebble-narrated Peter diamonds, I couldn't have been more disappointed in this. Whereas Prebble creates a full-bodied Diamond whose company is a pleasure to be in, Healy's Diamond blends into the narration to the point of invisibility. You get no sense of the great detective's character here. The character voices are generally undistinguished and indistinguishable. I still have a few Prebble Diamonds to listen to and then I'll find Bath's finest on the page.

Publisher's Summary:

Tara Shiloh knows she's not a drug addict. She's positive she's a good mother and hard worker. So why is she in an alley with a needle in her arm? Waking up in the hospital without her son is terrifying. Being told she can't have him back nearly crushes her. With her memory spotty and the circumstances incriminating, Tara must fight to learn the truth and wrestle with the idea that maybe her son is better off without her.

Reid Holliston defends guilty people for a living and it's slowly killing him. He's certain there is no such thing as a truly blameless client anymore. When his phone rings with a voice from his childhood, his jaded views make him certain Tara is just one more criminal claiming innocence. But even his skepticism isn't enough to keep him away.

Best friends from a lifetime ago, the two must find a way to trust each other again in spite of how the years apart have changed them. Can a promise made in childhood be enough to save them both?

Members Reviews:

Great Listen!

Both the author and narrator were new to me. I found that this mystery book was quite enjoyable and thought provoking. I liked the hidden romance in it as well and thought the character development and descriptions were great. I was voluntarily provided this review copy audiobook at no charge by the author, narrator, and/or publisher.

Engaging Listen

To say I enjoyed Three Seconds to Rush would be almost wrong, since the situation presented in this book would truly be every mother's nightmare, but this is a book I will certainly listen to again.

The characters in this book draws you in, they are well developed and believable.

Tara wakes up, overdosed, confused and missing her son. She claims innocence and everyone sees guilt. She calls on an old friend, Reid who is a lawyer, whom she trusts to believe her regardless of what the evidence showed.

As the story unfolds, it holds your attention, twists your emotions and keeps you to the end.

The emotion of the narrator uses makes the story come alive, tugging at your own emotions as she reads. Laura Jennings is a master!

I requested this audiobook in exchange for an unbiased review.

Steeped with Intrigue and Suspense

"The pacing is flawless, building steadily to a riveting climax. The characters are complex, likable and expertly drawn. If you enjoy contemporary mysteries, then you don't want to pass on thisone."--"I was provided this audio book at no charge by the narrator in exchange for an unbiased review via AudiobookBoom dot com".

A New Twist to Romantic Suspense

If you could sum up Three Seconds to Rush in three words, what would they be?

Who is Piper Anderson? It's funny, but I really do not know why this is in the title. Piper is not a character in this story. Hmmmm...interesting.

What did you like best about this story?

I really liked the storyline and the smooth transition from present to past childhood memories. Not so easily done in audio, but Ms Jennings and Ms. Stewart made it work.

Which character as performed by Laura Jennings was your favorite?

I really enjoy Ms. Jennings storytelling style. Soft, but intriguing. She always knows how to keep my interest.

Any additional comments?

I liked the mix of mystery, suspense and romance Ms. Stewart weaves in this story. I would definitely pick up another book by Ms.

Review of The Book of Bones by David Wood

Absolutely love the characters that David Wood has developed, whether they are working as a team or one their own. This book is no exception to that rule. The wonderful character that is Bones shines out in all his quirks and brilliance. He is a fun character that has a gift of being in the wrong place at the wrong time and he seems to thrive on it. This is fun, exciting and in some places you just have to hold your breathe and try and work out what he will think of next. It is most definitely a must read if you want excitement and an occasional smile on your face. Don't let yourself down by not reading it. Well done again David Wood. Please keep up the great work.

The book of Bones: A Bones Bonebrake Adventure a good read.

HAVE read most of the Dane and Bones books, and have really enjoyed them. This book was good too, but seemed unfinished. Left questions. Thank you David Wood for sharing this story. Please keep writing.

Captivating

I was not quite sure I really wanted to read/buy this book. Have had it for some time and decided to read it. Very good reading and keeps you interested. I have read several of the Maddock and Bones stories. Love them.

Other books from David Wood were better

David Wood wrote better books than this. This seems heavily edited, and some key scenes are left out. Like how do they find in the book of bones the next location? It introduces 2 new secret societies simply by naming them. And we are expected to "know" about an excentric millionaire who publishes a sort of treasure map, without any connection to the characters and the plot whatsoever.

The end seems totally rushed. Sorry, but I expected better from the creator of Dane&Bones.

Bones at his best!

Another fun adventure with Bones! It's a great story and lots of action with my favorite character, Bones Bonebreak!

Publisher's Summary:

Sassy, snarky Viola Roberts quit her boring accountant job to pursue her dream of writing novels, even if it meant eating ramen noodles every day. Now that her career has taken off, she's headed to a writers' conference at an exotic Florida resort complete with white-sand beaches and swaying palm trees, where she plans to lounge in the shade drinking frosty beverages with little umbrellas. And, of course, no sojourn to tropical climes would be complete without her boozy, wise-cracking best friend, Cheryl.

When Viola discovers the diva of the author world dead (as a doornail) of unnatural causes, the police immediately consider Viola their prime suspect. But when the head detective turns a gimlet eye on Viola's best friend, the author has had enough! Along with help from hunky fellow writer Lucas Salvatore, Viola is determined to ascertain who killed the corpse in the cabana before she or Cheryl winds up in jail. Or worse.

Members Reviews:

Yvette's voice is Viola personified

Yvette Keller's reading of the Corpse in the Cabana allows you to curl up with two hands around a tea cup as you listen to this cozy mystery. Viola comes to life as she and her gal pal get into and out of trouble And back into more trouble again. Each character is more fully formed and rich when combining Shea's words and Yvette's vocals.

The Corpse in the Cabana

This was a very fun and enjoyable cozy mystery. The narrator, Yvette Keller, did an outstanding job.

Un dee-jay di Radio Monte Carlo riceve, durante la sua trasmissione notturna, una telefonata delirante. Uno sconosciuto, dalla voce artefatta, rivela di essere un assassino. Il fatto viene archiviato come uno scherzo di pessimo gusto. Il giorno dopo un pilota di Formula Uno e la sua compagna vengono trovati morti e orrendamente mutilati sulla loro barca. Inizia così una serie di delitti, preceduti ogni volta da una telefonata a Radio Monte Carlo con un indizio musicale sulla prossima vittima, e ogni volta sottolineati da una scritta tracciata col sangue, che è nello stesso tempo una firma e una provocazione: lo uccido...

Per Frank Ottobre, agente dell'FBI in congedo temporaneo, e Nicolas Hulot, commissario della Sûreté Publique, inizia la caccia a un fantasma inafferrabile. Alle loro spalle una serie di rivelazioni che portano poco per volta a sospettare che, di tutti, il meno colpevole sia forse proprio lui, l'assassino.

Recensioni dei membri:

ottimo poliziesco

ottimo poliziesco, a volte banale, a volte geniale.

Frank Ottobre è uno di quei personaggi che vorresti avere come amico dopo aver terminato il libro. Leggere per credere. Il narratore è adatto, anche se non perfetto per la storia

Incredibilmente coinvolgente e ben scritto.

Ben scritto e ben narrato. il thriller per antonomasia. Scorrevole senza essere superficiale, descrittivo senza essere noioso.

Members Reviews:

A Fun Read

This is book three in the Navajo Nation mystery series. You really should read this series in order to fully appreciate all the characters and history of the Southwest.

This story provides the reader with interesting information about southwest archaeology and anthropology. Charlie Yazzies former archaeology professor is the target of the Indian rights movement. They are trying to stop the study of the ancient Anasazi people in one of the areas oldest canyon sites. Charlie has his own personal problems as Sue gives birth to their child.

Chappell is a good story teller and he makes it enjoyable to learn about the Anasazi entwined in a mystery story. Chappell brings the history as well as the beauty of the Southwest to life while telling a great story. The reader learns about the culture of the Natives Americans in the Southwest and makes one want to go visit the area.

Kaipo Schwab does an excellent job narrating the story. I always enjoy learning about the narrator. Schwab was born in Hawaii of a Hawaiian/Chinese mother and the German/Irish father. He received his BFA from Boston University. He is an actor of both stage and film as well as a narrator of audiobooks.

A good enough mystery

Not enough archaeology, too much shoot 'em stuff but still interesting. A good book for fans of the American SW.

Primitive

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

Compared to Anne Hillerman this book is very primitive. The performance is jerky but that may be due to the writing

What could R. Allen Chappell have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

Written a more smoothly developing story without the jerky move from sub plot to sub plot.

What didnt you like about Kaipo Schwabs performance?

Not smooth.

Interesting, if a little melodramatic......

What did you love best about Ancient Blood?

It isn't Hillerman, but I enjoyed some of the explanations as to which tribes are invested in which part of Native history. I found some of the characters a lttle old fashioned, but it kept my interest.

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

Not exactly on the edge of my seat, but it interested me enough to finish the book! I felt slightly confused by much of the action. The plot was far less interesting than the interpretation and theory of what was discovered.

What about Kaipo Schwabs performance did you like?

I liked the rather peaceful pace and humor of the narration. I found it relaxing and engaging.

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

I didn't listen to it all at once, but had I been driving perhaps. I liked the different ideas as to how the dead and history should be treated, found it something to reflect upon rather than to rush through.

narration was extremely difficult to listen to.

Narrator had almost no change in tone. no transition between locations.

Title: The Reed Ferguson Mystery Series, Box Set

Author: Renee Pawlish

Narrator: Johnny Peppers

Format: Unabridged

Length: 16 hrs and 56 mins

Language: English

Release date: 04-07-16

Publisher: Renee Pawlish

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 18 votes

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Modern Detective

Publisher's Summary:

Now in a single box set - the first three action-packed and humorous Reed Ferguson mysteries, plus a Reed Ferguson short story.

Reed Ferguson loves film noir and classic detective fiction, and he wants more than anything to emulate his hero, Humphrey Bogart. So Reed tries his hand at the detecting business and what follows is a humorous journey into suspense territory.

This Doesn't Happen in the Movies (Book 1)

A wannabe private eye with a love of film noir and detective fiction. A rich, attractive femme fatale. A missing husband. A rollicking ride to a dark and daring ending.

Reed Ferguson's first case is a daring adventure, complete with a dose of film noir, and a lot of humor. With a great supporting cast of the Goofball Brothers, Reed's not too bright neighbors, and Cal, Reed's computer geek friend, This Doesn't Happen in the Movies is detective noir at its best. Follow Reed as he solves crime akin to his cinematic hero, Humphrey Bogart.

Reel Estate Rip-Off (Book 2)

Lights! Camera! Reed!

A mysterious death. A brother searching for the truth. A devious ex-wife. Real estate shenanigans. More danger for Reed than a film noir plot.

Reed Ferguson's second adventure is again filled with film noir and humor. Along with the Goofball Brothers, Reed's not too bright neighbors, and Cal, Reed's computer geek friend, Reed tackles a dangerous case, sharpening his skills as he unearths a string of clues that lead to a killer - but will this case cost Reed his life? With an ode to old Hollywood and movie memorabilia, Reel Estate Rip-Off is humorous detective noir at its best.

The Maltese Felon (Book 3)

When an attractive female client begs Reed Ferguson to find her prize-winning Maltese show dog stolen from her backyard, Reed suspects he may be channeling Ace Ventura: Pet Detective rather than his hero, Humphrey Bogart. It sounds like a simple case, but things take a dangerous turn and Reed discovers that man's best friend can attract some decidedly unfriendly characters!

"Elvis and the Sports Card Cheat" (Bonus Short Story)

Reed Ferguson returns in an outrageously fun short story!

Perry Rawlings, an Elvis impersonator, has his prize Mickey Mantle baseball card stolen. Who is the culprit? This tale will keep you guessing!

If you're a fan of fun, suspenseful mysteries, don't miss this collection that's a fast-paced, humorous listen, without a lot of swearing or sex.

over too soon

Seemed just getting into the story and it was over!. I felt left down here.

Fantastic mixture of story and narrator

[{ "answer" : "That print version of the books are entertaining and fun to read but the audio version brought them to life in ways I didn't get while reading alone.

Members Reviews:

Edge of seat cozy mystery!

First thoughts afterâ.

omgosh!!! Squeee!!!!

How distracted did I get?

A Charming Magic is a great sequel in the Magical Cures series. I was on the edge of my seat through the whole story. Not many authors can have me wrapped up in a bundle of nerves to the point that I have to put the book down several times to get through the story. June's got herself all wrapped up in a new mystery involving a new member of the community (I'm not sure I like the newbie). Also, I love getting to know the constant quirky characters more and more each book. Oscarâ.sighâ.I still want more of him (who wouldn't?). A Charming Magic is a fun, suspenseful cozy mystery that I think everyone would enjoy!

I could not put this one down!

A Charming Magic, June Heal is the president of Whispering Falls and also the owner of one of the shoppes in the town. A new shop has just appeared in Whispering Falls and June decided to go welcome the new comer to the town. She is met with a big surprise and perhaps one of the biggest rivals June will have in town.

The new shop "Magical Moments" is owner by Arabella Paxton is a wonder and gorgeous just like the owner. In no time it seems the owner has her sights set on Oscar, June's best friend and old boyfriend and perhaps a few other men in town. June doesn't like the new owner and doesn't trust her.

Bad omens pop up and a thick blanket of black clouds cover the sky, bad things are about to happen in Whispering Falls. June must rush to save a life. She must find a missing towns person and travels to a new and dangerous land in her search.

True evil has come to Whispering Falls will June be able to banish it?

This one is a must read if you are a " Magical Cures" fan. Tonya knows how to spin a great story and always throws in enough twists and turns to keep you guessing. Her characters are full of charm and have some wonderful quirks. This one made me mad, made me laugh and I almost woke my husband up when i read the end just to tell him all about it. It is that good. I highly recommend.

enjoyable

I do really enjoy these books...I still feel confused at times. The books can be a little jumbled and disjointed but for some reason I still love them! The story lines are great and I do love the characters. I find myself going back and rereading as if I missed something.
