Members Reviews:

An exciting and unique rollercoaster .

First time I have ventured into the world of Gregg Hurwitz ..brilliant. I could not put it away. I normally use my ipod / audio book to help me go to sleep and if I wake up; send me back to sleep again. I have had very little sleep this weekit was just too exciting..the suspense was heart pounding and the mystery just too intriguing and you just want to know how the characters fare ! I could never have guessed the underlying plot .. What an imagination this author has. The narration captured the characters perfectly I could have been there; it was like watching a film. My only criticism was that in between sections and chapters there are very prolonged pauses. The pauses were so long that I kept checking that my ipod had not gone into sleep mode ! I would not let this put you off well worth a listen.

I bet you don't guess!!!

This caused me to wince with horror many a time. An American tale that was gripping throughout. A family man with a past that he cannot guess at nor the listener. The narrator, Jeff Harding, was superb. I thoroughly recommend it.

Not unique but very good and gripping

While not one I will remember and rush back to read again it was a very gripping story and what nightmares are built on.

I have never really been a fan of the one man against the world with impossible odds but this was a goody in that style

disappointing

I should have tried to get a refund on this as I really didn't enjoy it from the very beginning, but kept thinking it had to get better. Sadly, it didn't. The characters were not believable or interesting, and I couldn't care less who was next or not. Gregg Hurwitz will not be next for me again.

Hooked from the start.

This book believe it or not was personally recommended to me as a top read of 2011 by Simon Toyne the best selling author of the Sanctus Trilogy.

He also recommended Gunshot Straight by Lou Berney which is next on my list to buy. Recommendations don't get much better than this.

Critic Reviews:

"A story that tickles and tantalizes but never exhausts the readers patience or ingenuity. Times Literary SupplementThoroughly entertaining in a not too solemn way." (Books)

Members Reviews:

Charming tale well performed

Really enjoyed this tale. Took a bit of remembering all the characters but well acted and a classic Christie tale with twists and charming main characters

Classis Christie

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

Sure, it was fun.

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

The characters were cute and fun.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Emilia Fox?

Someone with a better grasp of their American accent.

Do you think Why Didnt They Ask Evans? needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

No.

Any additional comments?

A fun mystery in Christie's usual style.

Decent Christie ruined by narrator

I do hope that Emilia Fox won't be let loose on any more audiobooks. Her reading is wooden, and when she attempted any accent I was praying for it to stop. I'm assuming that the only reason she was chosen was that she can read in an RP accent. It's a shame, because this is one of Agatha Christie's more decent non- Poirot or Marple stories.

1920s early story

I enjoy this early Agatha Christie story for it's twists and turns but I really prefer the later stories, as they don't tend to be quite so full of 'jolly young things'. It is however still worth a listen.

Why didn't they ask Evans?

A sunny day playing golf a scream a3/4 dead body unconscious he wakes to say why didn't they ask Evans? then dies

Who is Evans and who is the victim was he pushed or fallen?

These are the questions Bobby wants answers to but little did he know what he was getting into. A very intriguing storyline with lots of twists and misdirection really good audio book

Revues par les critiques:

La presse en parle

"Ce livre, écrit avec la rigueur d'une plaidoirie et le souffle d'un thriller, réconcilie l'avocat qu'était John Grisham et l'écrivain qu'il est devenu. (...) John Grisham assemble, sous nos yeux, les rouages qui vont envoyer un innocent douze ans en prison, sans preuves, juste à coup de faux témoignages. Son implacable démonstration met en lumière la révolution qu'a représentée, depuis une quinzaine d'années, l'usage des analyses ADN en matière criminelle. Mais elle soulève aussi une question terrifiante : combien d'autres n'ont pas eu la chance d'échapper au couloir de la mort ?"

A new novel from New York Times best seller Brown, full of her trademarks: tight plotting, breathless twists, edge-of-your-seat suspense, and sizzle.

If he breaks a heart, or bends the law in order to catch a criminal, he does so without hesitation or apology. Thats why hes the first person Caroline Kingwho after a 30-year separation continues to haunt his dreamsasks for help when a deranged stalker attempts to murder their daughter...the daughter Dodge has never met.

She has become the object of desire of a co-worker, a madman and genius with a penchant for puzzles and games who has spent the past year making Berrys life hell, and who now has vowed to kill her.

Dodge joins forces with local deputy sheriff Ski Nyland, but the alarming situation goes from bad to worse when the stalker begins to claim other victims and leaves an ominous trail of clues as he lethally works his way toward Berry. Sensing the killer drawing nearer, Dodge, whos survived vicious criminals and his own self-destructive impulses, realizes that this time hes in for the fight of his life.

Didn't put it down until done

This was the second in a pair of books by Sandra Brown. I didn't realize this when I started reading this book, but I find that it didn't matter. This is a strong story with enough twists and turns that it will keep even the toughest critic's attention. There were a couple of spots in the book that became muddled with narrative, but they were easy to disregard because the plot was strong. I have always enjoyed Sandra Brown's books and this one was no different. I would recommend it to anyone who likes their suspense wrapped up with enough romance to keep things interesting.

Tough Customer

There are times when a chick book is an absolute necessity, and this book fills that need spectacularly. While this book will probably never be considered literature, I love her use of the English language. Not once does she use a reflexive pronoun in the subjective case.

Sandra's best ever!

I've read almost all her books. I loved them all, even the Ines from back when there were only typewriters and no computers. But this was, to me, her best ever. Just kept me awake since 1:00 am. It's now 5:00 but I had to finish it, it's that good!

Good Read

I like Sandra Browns' writing, this was as clever a read as always and I love her surprises and outcomes! Thanks Again Author!

Was going to give 3 or 4 stars but ...

I was just going to stop reading before done because I thought it was the stupidest ending, but I should have known that it wasn't over. Great book right up until the end.

Title: The Wreck of the Mary Deare

Author: Hammond Innes

Narrator: Bill Wallis

Format: Unabridged

Length: 9 hrs and 8 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-01-10

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 57 votes

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense

Publisher's Summary:

They dismissed the Mary Deare as a piece of leaking ironmongery taken off the junk heap. For 40 years this 6,000-ton freighter had tramped the seas, suffered shipwreck twice, and been torpedoed three times in two world wars. Then one March night, battered and bruised and empty, she emerged from severe Biscay gales into the English Channel - and into the newspaper headlines. Here was a ship of mystery and tragedy... in one of the greatest sea stories of all time.

Members Reviews:

Sea tale

First, I dimly remembered seeing the movie "Wreck of the Mary Deare" about 50 years ago with Gary Cooper as John, and Charlton Heston as Patch. I could not for the life of me remember the ending and not much of the story came back to me but I vaguely remember enjoying the movie so I downloaded this book. I am so glad I did. I do love a good tale and really love a good sea tale and this book does not disappoint. It is a very good tale of the sea, of men and ships and treachery of course. I enjoyed it so much I listened straight through and missed a nights sleep. I am in awe of the sea and know some of the things it can do. I am no sailor but have crossed to Bimini a couple of times in a very small boat and it can be scary when it kicks up and gets rough. This is a great adventure story well narrated. I do not think it could be better told.

What a great audio book!

If you like a classic adventure story, and are at all interested in the sea and ships, you will appreciate this book. I read it years ago in print and really liked it, but the audiobook is even better. Bill Wallis is a superb narrator and his reading of this novel is among the best I've ever heard.

If you get the opportunity, try to listen to the first 2.5 hours in one sitting - as a sustained piece of nautical adventure writing, I don't think it could be bettered.

great read

I remember reading this as a teenager -- it was the sort of book one could not put down. How would the same book appear after so many decades? Answer: it is still a riveting, beautifully written evocation of man and the wild oceans. The reader, Bill Wallis, was first rate: he didn't read this book it was a telling, a personal recounting....there is an immediacy about this presentation.

A wonderful novel by a master storyteller

The beauty of the novel is only exceeded by the captivating performance of the narrator. An immersive atmosphere. Strongly recommended.

Best Rugged old sea story

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

This is my favorite sea story, because it captures so well the feel of a tramp steamer and it's supersticious crew, in the wake of a terrrible storm, and the underlying story, sealing the fate of the Mary Deare, culminating in a well told court room drama. A great mixture of adventure and drama masterfully told by the master, Hammond Innes.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Wreck of the Mary Deare?

The first encounter at the very start of the book, has you gripped right away, which continues to build through part one.

Which character as performed by Bill Wallis was your favorite?

Higgins, the first mate. A great voice! Hard to believe it's Bill's voice, perfect for the character.

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

The book was made into a film with Charlton Heston as Sands, and Gary Cooper as Captain patch.

Title: Dimiter

Author: William Peter Blatty

Narrator: William Peter Blatty

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 hrs and 35 mins

Language: English

Release date: 03-16-10

Publisher: Macmillan Audio

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 35 votes

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense

Publisher's Summary:

William Peter Blatty has thrilled generations of readers with his iconic mega-best seller The Exorcist. Now Blatty gives us Dimiter, a riveting story of murder, revenge, and suspense. Laced with themes of faith and love, sin and forgiveness, vengeance and compassion, it is a story in the grand tradition of Morris Wests The Devils Advocate and the Catholic novels of Graham Greene.

Dimiter opens in the worlds most oppressive and isolated totalitarian state: Albania in the 1970s. A prisoner suspected of being an enemy agent is held by state security. An unsettling presence, though subjected to unimaginable torture he maintains an eerie silence. He escapes---and on the way to freedom, completes a mysterious mission. The prisoner is Dimiter, the American agent from Hell.

The scene shifts to Jerusalem, focusing on Hadassah Hospital and a cast of engaging, colorful characters: the brooding Christian Arab police detective, Peter Meral; Dr. Moses Mayo, a troubled but humorous neurologist; Samia, an attractive, sharp-tongued nurse; and assorted American and Israeli functionaries and hospital staff. All become enmeshed in a series of baffling, inexplicable deaths, until events explode in a surprising climax.

Told with unrelenting pace, Dimiters compelling, page-turning narrative is haunted by the search for faith and the truths of the human condition.

Critic Reviews:

"Blatty fans looking for straight-up horror in the vein of The Exorcist will be disappointed, but those with broader tastes will find this a beautifully written, haunting tale of vengeance, spiritual searching, loss, and love....The complicated plot confounds until the isolated pieces of the psychological puzzle that's Dimiter match up and fall into place, revealing surprising truths." (Publishers Weekly)

Members Reviews:

So-so

I've never seen reviews on a book so split between either 5 stars or 1 star. I went with three - it's nothing great but it moves at a quick pace and some readers might appreciate what I took to be Catholic spiritualism. The plot does meander but I read it in about three days while on vacation

No one writes like Blatty. This novel deserves to be a feature ...

No one writes like Blatty. This novel deserves to be a feature film.

An amazing and transforming journey

This is first of all a thrilling, great novel. It is an exciting read, and one is transported to Israel and other parts of the world in a very effective way, and the characters - a very diverse bunch - are deeply and effectively developed. You feel like you know them, can see them, and that you are there.

And you will be taken on a powerful spiritual journey; one that has stayed with me.

This combination is so rare; do not miss this opportunity.

religious suspense

Ah, it is so good to have such a wonderfully well written, suspenseful book from William Blatty again! His writing is such a joy to read and savor. The story is mysterious,and complex,with deeply mesmerizing detailed descriptions. This is a book than can be read over and over, each time finding new details and wonders of language.

My only complaint (spoiler alert) is how Jean, his wife, got his last letter which he never intended to send. We know Merel sent it, but how did he know where to find Jean???? I may well be missing something here, and if someone can enlighten me, I would be delighted to find out.

Title: Sharkman Six

Author: Owen West

Narrator: Lee Sellars

Format: Abridged

Length: 5 hrs and 20 mins

Language: English

Release date: 03-11-10

Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 4 votes

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense

Publisher's Summary:

This modern war is vastly different from the battles Kelly's father and grandfather fought and from the young lieutenant's own experience during Operation Desert Storm. Minutes after the Marines' celebrated landing, one of Kelly's men kills an armed Somali bodyguard, and Kelly finds himself in the center of a maelstrom. He must act quickly to deflect a vociferous outcry from members of the international press corps, censure by his Marine superiors, and the possibility of losing the loyalty of his men -- particularly two enlisted leaders in the platoon who have vouched for the necessity of the kill.

In Sharkman Six, Kelly is torn between his men, his confusing mission, and the international rules of engagement he has sworn to uphold. As his platoon descends into the lawless, violent underbelly of Somalia, Lieutenant Kelly must find his own values in a country whose instability opportunes killing at every street corner.

With intricate military detail, rapier wit, and stunning verisimilitude, Sharkman Six speaks to the violent urges lurking in us all. In Gavin Kelly, West has created an authentic, and wholly compromised young officer of war who will bring to mind the best of military heroes and antiheroes.

Members Reviews:

Outstanding military fiction

This book seemed so realistic to me at times while reading it, I almost thought I was reading a true story.

It depicts the events that occurred during the UN/US intervention in Somalia in the early '90s, some that really happened, others fictional. The writer, himself a former Marine, clearly infuses his characters with the spirit of Marines he must have known. Our involvement in Somalia was relatively short lived, and marred by mishandling of the situation by the highest levels of the US government, but the heroism of the American warriors involved is without reproach. After almost two decades of military campaigns not producing a Medal of Honor recipient, two were awarded during the battle of Mogadishu.

A surprising amount of excellent literature has emerged from what was really a minor conflict in the history of our country. If you are interested in the Somalia campaign (and even if you are not) I suggest that you read the book "Blackhawk Down" to get a picture of what happened. It is an extremely well written piece. I have also heard the book "In the Company of Heroes" highly recommended although I have not read it yet myself.

Sharkman Six, while fiction, realistically portrays the political climate, and the conditions of the Somalia action. It is a riveting read, and one of the best pieces of military fiction I have ever read. The atmosphere, dialogue, and descriptions are quite authentic. The book is exciting, funny, and sad all at once.

As an avid reader, especially interested military books, fiction and non-fiction, I reserve the five star rating, and award it sparingly, because I think the ratings should mean something. A five star award should be reserved for only the most exceptional of books. This is one of them, so do yourself a favor and check it out.

I am looking forward to more similar work by this promising author.

What you hope it is

As a hardcore civi this is the sort of window into RECON that I wanted. I wanted to know what it was like. I wanted to read about modern day Spartans and this book delivered.

Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc.

Publisher's Summary:

Successful author Molly Hunt, the adopted daughter of Long Island parents, is stunned when a handsome man she meets in her publishers office makes a startling declaration: that he is about to marry her twin sister. Molly soon discovers that she is actually the long-lost child of the wealthy Mountfort family of Charleston, South Carolina. Eager to solve the puzzle of her birth, Molly begins a fateful journey south.

Critic Reviews:

One of the smoothest suspense novels yet from the prolific Whitney. (Publishers Weekly)

The characters of Molly and her twin, Amelia, are particularly well drawn as one can contrast their similarities and their differences.This is a good, modern gothic novel sure to please those hooked on the genre. (School Library Journal)

Members Reviews:

For Anna Fields' fan

Where does Woman without a Past rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far?

this is an easy mystery listen. No terror or hot romance ie FSOG type. If you do not like 'em hot, then this is for you.

If youve listened to books by Phyllis A. Whitney before, how does this one compare?

this is my second listen....and this author is not for me. I purchased because the late great Anna Fields reads in her all time best southern accent ie SEP "It had to be YOU"

Have you listened to any of Anna Fieldss other performances before? How does this one compare?

Only Susan E. Phillips, It had to be you is a better listen as it is SEP Wall street Journal best.

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

yes I did as it had a good mystery outline...but the execution just did not match the outline.It could have had more core romance or just fleshed out more between the 2 male characters. this seemed like the editor wanted the story done in X amount of words never mind the author could expand on the characters

More like 'Author without a Plot'

If it weren't for the great narration by Anna Fields, this book would have been a complete waste of time. The premise of twins discovering each other is not new but can result in an interesting plot. Not so in this case. The author spent a lot of time trying to build suspense by having characters ominously repeat lines about "leaving the past in the past" and "don't stir up the swamp" and "your sister needs your help" but they actually don't mean anything. The author also tries to throw the reader off-track by having one character appear insane and another one who can channel ghosts. But at the end, the insane person is suddenly completely lucid and competent and saves the day. The ghost is meaningless. The true murderer is a minor character who really has no reason to threaten the main character. The rationale for the murderer's derangement is not even a part of the story until she confesses. Don't waste your time or a credit on this book.

Great Story!

I never even came close to figuring out who it was, although I had guessed I knew, a couple of times. I really loved this one!

Love Phyllis Whiney, but this was PAINFUL

What disappointed you about Woman without a Past?

There was so little emotion in the reading.

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 88 votes

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense

Publisher's Summary:

With 13 ¿, Nevada Barr, New York Times best-selling author of the award-winning Anna Pigeon novels, has written a taut and terrifying psychological thriller. It carries the reader from the horrifying 1970s murder spree of a child - dubbed "Butcher Boy" by a shocked public - in Rochester, Minnesota, to Polly, the abused daughter of Mississippi "trailer trash," to post-Katrina New Orleans.

In Jackson Square in the French Quarter a tarot card reader told Polly Deschamps she would be a success. Thirty years later, Polly is a respected professor of literature with good friends and her own home - a safe life for her and her two daughters.

Butcher Boy, released on his 17th birthday, shook the snow from his boots and headed south.

New Orleans, a Mecca for runaways then and now, offers sanctuary but never forgiveness.

When Polly falls in love with Marshall Marchand, a restoration architect who is helping to rebuild her adopted city, shadows of the past rise out of the poisoned ground of New Orleans as thick and deadly as the toxic waters of the flood.

Like history, some crimes are doomed to repeat themselves. Evil stays the same, only the victims' names change. As two broken pasts collide in an uncertain present, Polly is determined that her children's names will never be on that list.

Very dark

I have always been a fan of Nevada Barr, however, this book is very dark and very depressing. I was extremely disappointed in this selection, it read more like something she might write for a fiction writing class. If you want to be thoroughly depressed, listen to this one.

Usually Love Barr Books...

But not this time, I regret. It is well crafted enough to suit me, but the story is just too dark for my taste. Yes, her books are always murder mysteries and have gotten progressively darker over the years, but this crossed over a line in my mind. Maybe it's actually a tribute to the author, not liking this one...perhaps it was just too real for my fiction leaning taste.

Forget it

No continuity rambles all over with each character

Graphic Violence

This was a surprise. Although it had the well woven plot twists known to Barr, it spent too much time on graphic violence.

Members Reviews:

Entertaining novel

I have read better written books but nevertheless, The Juror did hold my attention . I gave it a four star rating mostly for its entertainment value.

The Juror is the best novel I've read in quiet a while.

I had enjoyed The Caveman's Valentine very much, I found The Juror, and have read it night and day, thrilled with the chilling, twisting plot. So well worth reading!

Amazing

After reading Ravens, http://www.amazon.com/Ravens-George-Dawes-Green/dp/0446538973/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1279287512&sr=1-3 , by the same other, I knew I had to scoop up everything he had written.

George Dawes Green is an extremely talented writer, Ive never read anything quite like his books. He literally keeps you on your toes and when you think you have everything figured out, he flips the world upside down! I love all of his books and I most definitely recommend them! In fact I came onto amazon.com to purchase more copies as Christmas gifts last year and everyone recipient loved the books!

The Juror

Not particularly gripping,or interesting.The plot would have been better written by Frederick Forsyth.

The Juror

I realy enjoyed this book, it is well writen and very exciting. It made me understand why jury selection is so difficult and aparently can be skewed by Smart lawyers, It made mw wonder how many criminals are walking free and also how many innocent people are sitting in jails.

An excellent read I'm sure you will enjoy. If you enjoy Paterson then give GEORGE DAWES GREEN a try.
