Ambushed and drugged, Evan Smoak wakes up in a locked room with no idea where he is or who has captured him. As he tries to piece together what's happened, he receives a desperate call for help. With time running out, he will need to out-manoeuvre a powerful opponent to have any chance of escape. He's got to save himself to protect those whose lives depend on him...or die trying.

Another Good Installment To The Series

In the much-anticipated sequel (to me, anyway) to Orphan X, Evan Smoak is back. Evan had been a part of the secret "Orphan" project, a project that took orphaned kids and made them into hardened assassins, sent in to do the jobs that the Government wanted "off the books'. Following the death of his mentor, Evan instead chose to work pro bono to help those desperately in need of his specialised services. The deal is, you call him, he solves your problem, then you have to give his number to someone else in need.

Following his most recent job of removing a lowlife human trafficker from the world, he realises that there is one more girl out there in the process of being shipped to a buyer. He knows he has to help her, but before he gets too far, he himself is kidnapped by a sociopath, hell bent on staying young and robbing as many people as he can. He identifies Evan through an online transaction and captures him for the purpose of forcing Evan to transfer a large amount of money. No one, except maybe Evan, realises the implications that this one action will bring about.

This is a nail-biting, action-packed thriller that keeps the plot twists coming right up to the last moments. I admit that I started to wonder whether Evan would actually make it out of captivity alive, with the odds so stacked against him, but I should never have underestimated his ingenuity.

Scott Brick was outstanding with the delivery of the story

Great book as good as the first one

love the story and characters. Looking forward to the next book hopefully won't be to long before its out

Enjoyable fluff

It's good, but there are some glaringly obvious 'would never do's, for example holding a pine cone out on an outstretched palm for a sniper to shoot it out of your hand - and hoping he didn't take your hand off! Not as good as Victor The Assassin by Tom Wood, but having said that - I can't wait for book 3!

Gripping action, brilliant performance.

A thoroughly gripping story following on nicely from the last book. Not to worry if you haven't read the others, this fills in the important details in an entertaining way.

The action scenes are penned in a gripping style and the narrator's performance is 100% convincing. Highly recommend without reservation!

A gruelling tale

I'm exhausted - not only is Evan's traumatic life keeping me constantly on the edge of my seat but I also have to keep listening until it's finished which means bed is going to be in the morning not at night!

Resumen del editor:

Tercer volumen de la saga.

La guerra más antigua y devastadora de la existencia ha encontrado el modo de continuar, de extenderse por toda la creación. El Cielo y el Infierno ya no son los únicos escenarios para este terrible conflicto.

Comenzó cuando el planeta se estremeció. Todos los habitantes perdieron la facultad de moverse, quedando resignados a contemplar impotentes cómo se desmoronaba el mundo. Al fenómeno lo llamaron la Onda y produjo cambios más allá de la comprensión humana.

Ahora tenemos que sobrevivir a las consecuencias. Los ángeles y los demonios están entre nosotros, son reales, y nos han impuesto su guerra. Una guerra en la que somos insignificantes, una guerra que no creímos posible y que cambiará nuestras vidas para siempre.

Please note: This audiobook is in Spanish.

Opiniones de los miembros:

La guerra entre ángeles y demonios 3

Excelente. El final de esta tercera parte estructura muy bien lo que se espera para la cuarte parte. El personaje Nilia me encanta.

La narración es muy buena.

not bad

the performance was a little breathy like she was trying to make more romance than necessary and there was more romance than suspense in this story.

Publisher: Catherine McKenzie

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 54 votes

Publisher's Summary:

Ten years working as a prosecutor have left Meredith Delay jaded and unsure of what she wants out of life. She's good at her job, but it haunts her. Her boyfriend wants her to commit, but she keeps him at arm's length. Then Meredith is assigned to a high-profile prosecution involving the violent murder of a fallen hockey star. At first, it appears to be just another case to work. But when her old friend Julian is accused of the murder, it takes on a whole new dimension.

Meredith, Julian, Jonathan, and Lily were a tight-knit group in law school. But now, Jonathan's defending Julian, and Lily's loyalties aren't clear. And when Julian invokes a rare - and risky - defense, Meredith is forced to confront their past. Has something they played at as students finally been brought to death?

Members Reviews:

The story of the pathetic protagonist

The protagonist, a female prosecutor in her early 30s, lacks emotional maturity. The murder game is a legal thriller without the thrill, or maybe it's a suspense thriller without the suspense or the thrill. Author Catherine McKenzie bets everything on a surprise twist at the end, only the twist is not a surprise because she gave it away earlier.

Frustrating

What would have made The Murder Game better?

This entire story just made me upset

What was most disappointing about Catherine McKenzie writing as Julie Apples story?

The characters, especially Meredith, she had no common sense and I got tired of her whining throughout the story

How did the narrator detract from the book?

Voice was flat - nauseating

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from The Murder Game?

The question should be what I would leave in, I would cut more the half of the story

Any additional comments?

I don't think I'll be downloading anymore of her books

Clever move McKenzie!

Is there anything you would change about this book?

The Murder Game offers alternating time frames that allows readers to follow a set of characters back and forth from their social/learning time in law school to their professional roles in the courtroom. Personally, I didn't think that some of these characters' roles in legal proceedings were ethical or realistic because of their known histories together but it was entertaining nonetheless to follow the same characters throughout the entirety of the book. All the legal what-if scenarios processed by the characters in The Murder Game kept my brain active and thinking so this book was a win-win in terms of being an entertaining brain-teaser of sorts.

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

The resolution of the present-day courtroom drama was a bit of a let-down if I'm being honest. This could have been my fault though. I had this book built up so much in my head after the 5-star experience of Fractured so who knows. Check it out regardless! Catherine McKenzie (aka Julie Apple) is a rock star!

Do you think The Murder Game needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

The Murder Game is a legal/thriller novel written over ten years ago by Catherine McKenzie. Although it remained unpublished for all of those years, the book itself was featured in Catherine McKenzie's 2016 novel: Fractured and inspired much of the storyline.

Publisher's Summary:

An ancient Mayan prophecy. A dangerous Nazi descendant. A passionate archaeologist. And an aristocrat desperate for cash.

Mayan legends tell of a location where the secret to surviving the end of the world may be found. One part of that legend is recorded on a stone tablet in the dusty attic of Lord 'Ratty' Ballashiels' crumbling manor. The other twin part disappeared from a Berlin museum when the Nazis took power. When Ratty seems about to sell his tablet to the adopted son of Josef Mengele, his friend, the archaeologist Ruby Towers, is appalled.

Soon it is clear that more than archaeology is at stake. The quest to rescue historic Central American artefacts becomes a race to prevent an apocalyptic threat when Ruby discovers that the ancients have set in motion something that will threaten the world today.

Members Reviews:

Poor quality in a mediocre genre..

What disappointed you about The Sphinx Scrolls?

Straight paragraphs lifted from the best of the pyramadiots books... and transferred willy nilly to South America - very little to do with the title. Poor understanding of the Maya civilsation. Very bad plot, poor 2 dimensional characters, the obligatory nazis - and no saving graces.. bad relic hunters with a poor vocabulary and an embarrassing script.. an insult to the reader/ listeners intelligence

Has The Sphinx Scrolls put you off other books in this genre?

No, just it should be put to the bottom of the pile, there are many others better and more thought provoking. This had no redeeming features and was an insult to a genre that doesn't have much going for it.

Which scene did you most enjoy?

The deus ex machina reading of the Sphinx scrolls of the title in a crumbling mansion kitchen... the schrolls having been earlier destroyed, they are suddenly available in translation, much reduced, and edited and delivered by being selectively read out.. it encompasses both the best and the worst of the books.. and again, how on earth did it get by the editors? Shouldn't have been published/

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

Does no one need an agent these days? Is there no such thing as an editor.. and how are book buyers supposed to distinguish between writing and pulp fiction ..I paid for this rubbish...

Any additional comments?

Does no one need an agent these days. Some stuff should not be published.. in defense of the waste of ink and trees, never mind the poor people who try and read it, in all innocence.

The narrator should get a medal for ploughing through and delivering, straight faced and not hamming up the audible version.. and making a very poor narrative a mediocre book.. on audible..I would not recommend reading it, or listening to it, in anything other than ironic mode., or as a how not to...

Enjoyed it

Overall a good story but found it a little difficult to follow at times. A few loose ends but not sorry I bought it. Very interesting concept and ideas.

To long

Good story but in places its to long so you tend to lose concentration.the storyteller was good.

Dreadful plot

Dreadful plot, annoying characters, irritating narration and hard work to get to the end of it. This one is being returned and it is the last time I take any notice of recommendations!!

Very enjoyable

I really enjoyed this.

These include a letter about a juicy steak turned brisket, a dead restaurant owner, a giant truffle delivered by post and the imminent arrival of the vivacious Caterina to the Gare des Lyons. All of which Pamplemousse has been called upon to help.

Members Reviews:

Thoroughly enjoyable book!

The Tangled Web didn't disappoint. Entertaining and humorous. Keeps you guessing until the end. Can't wait to read the rest in the series.

Another adult Pamplemousse Adventure byu Michael Bond

Another quality adventure by Michael Bond. A little heavy going and lacking the spontaneous charm of the earlier books. All the traditional characters reappear like the old favourites they are. Definitely not for children, adult material only.

Charming books full of little laugh and big laughs.

I've read all the books in this series... and I re-read them from time to time because I they are so entertaining and charming.

Publisher's Summary:

The brand-new crime novel from Katerina Diamond.

Can you keep a secret? Your life depends on it....

Bridget Reid has a secret - one that could get her killed...if she can escape the man who is keeping her locked in a basement bedroom.

DS Imogen Grey is good at keeping secrets - truths she'd never reveal to her colleagues at Exeter Police. She worked hard to get where she is. She nearly died for it. Now her past is catching up with her.

As DS Grey and her partner, DS Adrian Miles, search for Bridget, they uncover a terrifying web of abuse, betrayal and murder. And they realise that some secrets are better left buried.

Members Reviews:

Different but as gripping as the first

A great story and like the first in the series it extremely well told. As the book went on I began to question the characters as they seemed to change from the last book. Imogen Grey seems to lose some of her strength and grit to the point you start to ask yourself if she is the same character. As the book goes on you have to suspend disbelief and accept the number of coincidences including the cliffhanger at the end!

Worth a read! :)

much better than before

a much better story than the first one and much less confusing, especially with all those flashbacks.

so far, perry awful....

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

a better plot with a lot more thought about what might actually happen in the real world/ a little more thought around motivation and credibility

What was most disappointing about Katerina Diamonds story?

immediately recognisable as just another very dull pot boiler/use of casual brutality to assault the reader/ a kind of frankenstein monster approach stitching together whatever comes to hand to create a crude approximation to a thriller.

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

The narrator did what could be done with the material

You didnt love this book--but did it have any redeeming qualities?

not really

Any additional comments?

stock stuff and totally forgettable

I need the next book right now!!!

how can that be the end?

what a cliffhanger!!

looking forward to Katerina's 3rd book more than ever now.

Fast paced Edgy Thriller

The story a follow on from The Teacher, operates on two primary timelines; 2 years ago describing what happened to Imogen in Plymouth causing her move to Exeter, and a present day case with definite links to the Plymouth case. A well constructed story that starts with multiple fragments which like a jigsaw puzzle gradually link up to create the complete picture.

It is however a very dark book, black in places that may not be to everyones taste! Whilst I thoroughly enjoyed the book I have marked the story down a star for two reasons. Firstly there are just far too many coincidences giving story a slightly implausible feel, and secondly because one or two of the violent scenes, in particular the country house hunt, in my opinion added nothing to the plot and were unnecessary

.

Stevie Lacey does a great job with the narration, with extremely good characterisations. She must be getting well used to the West Country burr given that she also narrates the Charlotte Savage series. Overall I recommend the book and look forward to Katerina Diamonds next offering.

Publisher's Summary:

Bestselling Polish crime by award-winning author Zygmunt Miloszewski.

All eyes are on famous prosecutor Teodor Szacki when he investigates a skeleton discovered at a construction site in the idyllic Polish city of Olsztyn. Old bones come as no shock to anyone in this part of Poland, but it turns out these remains are fresh, the flesh chemically removed.

Szacki questions the dead man's wife, only to be left with a suspicion she's hiding something. Then another victim surfaces - a violent husband, alive but maimed - giving rise to a theory: someone's targeting domestic abusers. And as new clues bring the murderer closer to those Szacki holds dear, he begins to understand the terrible rage that drives people to murder.

From acclaimed Polish crime writer Zygmunt Miloszewski comes a gritty, atmospheric pause resister that poses the question, what drives a sane man to kill?

Members Reviews:

Best Crime Thriller This Year!

Refreshingly unique, highly imaginative and highly satisfying to the very end!

I recommend this author, this novel and this narrator to be the best in the foreign category of psychological crime thrillers for this year. The translation gave the appearance of this being an American book. Bravo!

Interesting

I do enjoy Mr Miloszewski's books. Rage being the third I have read and as intricate as the other two. Not sure how I feel about the different endings. The very end in the original Polish and the translated book have left me a bit confused. Perhaps all my questions will be answered if there is a next book

Riveting, twisting and dark

The book twisted and turned through a dark bleak polish countryside to reach a startling conclusion

Ending

Ending has me a bit confused, I'd love to hear from the author. But good story.

Did Not See That Coming

If you could sum up Rage in three words, what would they be?

What is next?

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

The plot did keep me on the edge of my seat. I liked the characters and had a vested interest in their success. They were very realistic and though they were from a different culture and nation, their humanity made them easy to identify with. At one point I thought, "Oh, here we go - typical story line - and then, suddenly- it wasn't!"

Have you listened to any of Stefan Rudnickis other performances before? How does this one compare?

First listen - but I enjoyed him.

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

I would have wanted to listen in one sitting - but it isn't in me to stay awake that long!

Any additional comments?

I want more of our lead detective. How are they going to pull it off? Did they leave room to continue?

DEATH AND DAMNATION IN A CITY OF SIN...

In this exciting prequel to Tokyo Black, Thomas Caine struggles to keep a low profile in Pattaya, Thailand. But when human traffickers start an explosive war with the Thai police, Caine finds himself caught in the crossfire. A girl he has sworn to protect has been kidnapped by this shadowy syndicate, and Caine is forced to wage a bloody one man war to get her back.

Soon, the former assassin finds himself taking on the Russian mafia, and an insane criminal warlord who believes that he is the devil himself! Can Caine use his deadly skills to defeat these new enemies, and help an honest cop find a group of missing girls before they are sold into slavery?

Members Reviews:

Excellent start to a new series.

Any additional comments?

This book follows in the footsteps of quite a few vigilante protagonists that have come before with a very similar back story. Thomas Caine, he's ex CIA assassin, betrayed and now living off the grid in Thailand. He is loyal, has powerful connections, goes by an alias and although he has the skills, he wishes to remain anonymous but will intervene to right the wrongs that affect those he considers his friends. In this book there is a group of Russian mafia who are kidnapping young prostitutes with the intention of selling them into slavery. When one of Caine's friends (a bar girl/prostitute) goes missing he declares war on who ever took her.

This book has plenty of nonstop action and ends with a lead in to the next book in what is sure to become a really good series.

Although I have read some complaints about the narration I thought the narrator did a fine job and would most certain listen to him again.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

If you found this review helpful please indicate so. Thank You.

A Good, Straight Forward, Action Story.

Devils Due is a straight forward action story about former CIA agent, Thomas Caine. This short story is a prequel to Tokyo Black, book one in the Thomas Caine series. Living off the grid in Thailand after being betrayed by his agency, Thomas becomes embroiled in the affairs of human traffickers, the Russian mafia and a warlord who thinks hes the devil. If you like the action/suspense genre that features ex government agents and exotic locals then you should give Devils Due a read/listen.

Bryan L. Anderson does the narration for this story and for the most part, does a fine job, but there is, (at least on my audio copy), a strange effect that almost sounds like one of those devices that distorts the voice. Ive heard Mr. Andersons voice on another book that I own and although they are close, there is a difference. Maybe its the recording environment or the recording equipment used. Overall, it wasnt a deal breaker for me, but I did notice it.

Finally, this audio book was provided by the narrator at no cost in exchange for an honest review, courtesy of Audio Book Blast.

Great start to a new series

This novella begins the Thomas Caine suspense thriller series. Caine is a former CIA agent who is on the run. The series has real promise. Book 1, Tokyo Black, has been released in Kindle format but is not yet available in audiobook format.
