Publisher's Summary:

Dead women tell no tales.

Former cat burglar Rook Stevens stole many a priceless thing in the past, but he's never been accused of taking a life - until now. It was one thing to find a former associate inside Potter's Field, his pop culture memorabilia shop, but quite another to stumble across her dead body.

Detective Dante Montoya thought he'd never see Rook Stevens again - not after his former partner falsified evidence to entrap the jewelry thief and Stevens walked off scot-free. So when he tackled a fleeing murder suspect, Dante was shocked to discover the blood-covered man was none other than the thief he'd fought to put in prison and who still makes his blood sing.

Rook is determined to shake loose the murder charge against him, even if it means putting distance between him and the rugged Cuban-Mexican detective who brought him down. If one dead con artist wasn't bad enough, others soon follow, and as the bodies pile up around Rook's feet, he's forced to reach out to the last man he'd expect to believe in his innocence - and the only man who's ever gotten under Rook's skin.

Members Reviews:

Greg Tremblay is awesome again!!

Any additional comments?

Greg Tremblay definitely brings this murder mystery to life, creating character voices that drew me in like a siren's call. But it's the banter and humor in this that made this such a fabulous listen for me.

All of the characters (especially Hank, Mannie and Archie), the mystery, and the pacing were all really entertaining. There's quite a bit of action, and though there aren't that many sexy times, what is there is *so* good.

I loved all the pop culture references. I cracked up every time Rook brought up The Princess Bride (Dante's last name is Montoya so Rook keeps making six fingered man references LOL) and it totally goes over Dante and his partner, Hank's, heads. It was hysterical.

For those who love the whole enemies-to-lovers trope - you won't be disappointed with the romance between Dante and Rook.

"And babe, I'll hold you forever for however long you want me to. And even then, I might not let you go."

But, for me, hands down, my favorite interactions and scenes in the story were between Rook and his grandfather, Archie. Archie was such a fantastic character. He's the guy you love to hate, and hate to love.

Greg Tremblay's narration is a thing of beauty. His range of accents, emotive expertise, and wonderful pacing is hard to beat.

As long as Greg Tremblay keeps narrating, I'm definitely looking forward to more in the series!

AMAZING

Any additional comments?

Rhys Fords creative story telling is amazing when you add Greg Tremblay the story comes alive. Ford and Tremblay absolutely a great team!

Another winner by a winning team

Another winner with the team of Rhys Ford and Greg Tremblay!! With the story of Rook and Dante I am taken back to the action and romance of Cole and Jae; but with a very different story. The excellent writing, witty dialogue, action and mystery is all there. Along with a wonderful romance. And what is there to say about Greg Tremblay's performance; as it is a performance. His voice, accents, inflections are flawless as usual.

Title: Down Among the Dead Men

Publisher's Summary:

In a Sussex town on the south coast of England, a widely disliked art teacher at a posh private girls' school disappears without explanation. None of her students miss her boring lessons, especially since her replacement is a devilishly hunky male teacher with a fancy car. But then her name shows up on a police missing-persons list. What happened to Miss Gibbon, and why does no one seem to care?

Meanwhile, detective Peter Diamond finds himself in Sussex, much against his wishes. His irritating and often obtuse supervisor, Assistant Chief Constable Georgina Dallymore, has made Diamond accompany her on a home-office internal investigation. A Sussex detective has been suspended for failing to link the DNA evidence of a relative to a seven-year-old murder case - a bad breach of ethics. Diamond is less than thrilled to be heading out on a road trip with his boss to investigate a fellow officer, but he becomes much more interested in the case when he realizes who the suspended officer is - an old friend and not a person he knows to make mistakes.

As Diamond asks questions, he begins to notice unsettling connections between the cold case and the missing art teacher. Could the two mysteries be connected? How many other area disappearances have gone unnoticed and uninvestigated? Diamond and his hapless supervisor have stumbled into a web of related crimes. Will Diamond be able to disentangle them?

Critic Reviews:

"...the real fun is in Prebble's subtlety as a performer. He's a master of accents; with the slightest inflection he gives you class, age, sex, education, ethnicity, and personality, a Rembrandt of vocal portraiture." (AudioFile)

Lovesey Gets Better With Each New Book

...and Simon Prebble narrates with panache. Great plot & great narrator had me staying up all night to listen. This book brings back together two of Lovesey's best characters, Diamond - and I won't name the other because that would be an early reveal of part of the plot's tension. Having mourned the loss of two of the British Detective Novel's greatest writers recently (Ruth Rendell & PD James), I am heartened that Lovesey has in his last three books developed layers, style, and cultural references while maintaining the complexity of his plots and the endearing personalities of his leads.

A fun listen with good characters

This is my first inspector diamond novel. I enjoyed it immensely and will probably listen to other books by the author involving this character. The whodunit was well plotted and not obvious until towards the end.

some surprises

Brits, tecs rushing all over, tensions, odd ducks, even a cat combine for fine listening. Surprising plot twists for experienced Anglo Detective novels.

Enjoyed Meeting Peter Diamond

I enjoyed this listen immensely. I kept listening and finished it in one day. I admit I did wonder how the author was going to tie together the various character and subplots. For the most part, I found the solutions satisfying. There are plenty of plot twists and surprises along the way. The ending did seem a bit forced, which is why I gave the book only four stars overall.

Simon Prebble is one of the best. His voices are distinct and individual.

A nice surprise...Will find more of the same.

Would you try another book from Peter Lovesey and/or Simon Prebble?

YES, Am looking forward to them. Kept me involved.

Publisher's Summary:

When two young female hikers disappear in the Hundred Mile Wilderness - the most remote stretch along the entire 2,000 mile Appalachian Trail - Maine game warden Mike Bowditch joins the search to find them. The police interview everyone they can find who came in contact with the college students and learn that the women were lovers who had been keeping their relationship secret from their Evangelical parents in Georgia. When two corpses are discovered - the bones picked clean by coyotes - rumors spread that the women were stalked and killed by the increasingly aggressive canines. Faced with a statewide panic, Maine's governor places an emergency bounty on every dead coyote, and wildlife officials are tasked with collecting the carcasses. Despite some misgivings, Bowditch does his grisly job. But he finds his complacency challenged by his new girlfriend, the brilliant but volatile biologist Stacey Stevens, who insists coyotes merely scavenged the bodies after the women were murdered. When Stacey herself disappears on the outskirts of the Hundred Mile Wilderness, Bowditch realizes that locating her means he must also discover the truth behind what happened to the two hikers. Were the young women really killed by coyotes, or, as Stacey insisted, were they murdered by the most dangerous animal in the North Woods?

Suspenseful and Riveting

As usual Paul kept us on the edge of the mystery. Just as you thought you knew.... a new twist! Vivid descriptions help paint the picture of the scenes and bring each place and character into clear view in my mind's eye!

Nice enough story, but a little disorganized.

Is there anything you would change about this book?

Yes, but it's difficult to describe. The premise is that this warden solves the mystery...sort of. But the whole thing seems to jump around, and while things get resolved, and it qualifies as a who done it, simply because you are given so little info you really can't guess, it's one of those rambling accounts where the characters seem to stumble onto info while doing spontaneous and often foolish things. Not that it's uninteresting exactly or difficult to listen to it's just a little hard to realize anything has actually happened. It almost seems anecdotal or a news recap, you see what happened, you see the result or solution but if you had to retell it to someone it would be hard to put in order or pick out the high points in this story.

Would you recommend The Precipice to your friends? Why or why not?

I don't think so. It's okay, it is sort of entertaining if you have some hiking interest or familiarity with the AT, but it seems to just wander along sort of rambling. Not boring exactly but like a hike or car trip, there are long sections where nothing significant is going on so while not boring at the time, these sections are forgettable after the trip.

What three words best describe Henry Levyas voice?

calm, unexcited, steadily paced

Could you see The Precipice being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

Can't see it as written. The idea might be used but the story would have to be streamlined, and no way it could sustain a series.

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Modern Detective

Publisher's Summary:

The international best seller that "grabs the reader by the throat" (Crime Time).

First in the new series featuring Detective Inspector Helen Grace.

Two people are abducted, imprisoned, and left with a gun. As hunger and thirst set in, only one walks away alive.

It's a game more twisted than any Detective Inspector Helen Grace has ever seen. If she hadn't spoken with the shattered survivors herself, she almost wouldn't believe them.

Helen is familiar with the dark sides of human nature, including her own, but this case - with its seemingly random victims - has her baffled. But as more people go missing, nothing will be more terrifying than when it all starts making sense....

Members Reviews:

Loved EVERYTHING about it!

The story was fascinating and the narrators were awesome...really enjoy the "reality" in their voices...Can't wait for more from this author!

Not Super Impressed

I wasn't in love with this book. The back made it seem like everything was going to be so twisted and it was but not really. I felt disconnected from the characters and didn't see much growth throughout the story. I MIGHT read the next one.

Utterly Dislikeable

I wish I could pinpoint exactly what bothered me so much about this book . I think the problem is there were so many things that bothered me, I cannot boil them down into a single concise reason.

I will start with the primary narrator. While she calmed down as the book progressed, she started out so enthusiastic and overly dramatic that I couldn't get into the mind set of a serious, dark piece of fiction. I admit I like my audiobooks read to me by someone with an easy to listen to voice that seems to fit the mood of the book. I do not like them dramatized and if the narrator of the book is perky and enthusiastic, then the mood of the book better be as well.

Next, if you are writing a book that you intend to be the first in a series focusing on a single character, then you need to introduce a character that readers want to know more about. They don't necessarily have to love or even like them. But they have to be curious enough about what happen's next in that characters life so they want to read the next book. Unfortunately, I not only didn't love or like Helen Grace, I thought she was a one-dimensional caricature of every shallow but beautiful policewoman I've ever seen on any TV show. Once I learned that the author had a background writing for television his description of his heroine made sense. He created a character that might look good, but lacked any substance what so ever.

She wasn't a tortured soul. She wasn't compassionate, She wasn't tough. She was a lousy manager. She wasn't brilliant. She was a pretty bad detective and a very boring character. She did ride a motorcycle and engaged in mild S&M. Unfortunately those two "facts" aren't nearly enough to make her interesting. I cannot imagine reading another book about her.

The plot line wasn't terribly inventive and it just kept repeating itself over and over. The only characters less developed and less interesting than the victims of the crimes was Helen Grace.

And the author had real difficulty with his timeline.

Hold on to your hat

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

Very different book , not what I normally would listen to . It is a great thriller but also has a very interesting twist and surprise characters . Has some religious undertones , that actually made you think ?

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

Did not want to stop listing , felt pulled in with a lot of surprises and suspense..

Have you listened to any of Julia Whelans other performances before? How does this one compare?

No ,but I will in the future

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

No , it felt like I just listened to a great book and absolutely wanting more.

Really Really Good...But

Really enjoyed reading it and made time for listening even when other things needed to be done. I only wish it didn't "wrap up" so quickly at the end. The last five or six chapters were short and made me feel the author just wanted to end.

could not put it down!

An edge of your seat book!!! I never wanted to stop listening, incredible story development!

narrator performance better than most

Summer fun

This was a fun book. I loved the Breakthrough series so snatched this. I like the author's style and this book like his others was fun. While it got a little bogged down at the end I still enjoyed it a lot. Look forward to more from this author. He has quite an imagination!

I loved it with my mind, and then my heart.

I'm a reader of hard science fiction, stories for thinking out of the box, and a love of philosophy

Publisher's Summary:

Play a song for me....

Musicians are being murdered in New Orleans. But Arnie Watson apparently died by his own hand. When Tyler Anderson plays the saxophone he inherited from Arnie, a soldier and musician who died soon after his return, he believes he sees visions of his friend's life - and death. He becomes convinced Arnie was murdered and that the instrument had something to do with whatever happened, and with whatever's happening all over the city....

Tyler knows his theory sounds crazy to the police, so he approaches Danni Cafferty, hoping she and Michael Quinn will find out what the cops couldn't. Or wouldn't. After all, Cafferty and Quinn have become famous for solving unusual crimes.

They're partners in their personal lives, too. Quinn's a private investigator and Danni works with him. When they look into the case, they discover a secret lover of Arnie's and a history of jealousies and old hatreds that leads them back to the band Arnie once played with - and Tyler plays with now.

They discover that sometimes, for some people, the line between passion and obsession is hard to draw. Only in uncovering the truth can they hope to save others - and themselves - from the deadly hands of a killer.

Members Reviews:

Nice twist without as much paranormal

Great story kept my interest throughout. I loved the departure from the paranormal plot. Good to change things up.

Good book

I liked the crime drama and the romance, I missed the supernatural in this one.

story coulda been better

the story lacked the supernatural element I've come to expect from this series and it was a little disappointing. I was also going that Dani and Quinn would finally get together, sigh, maybe the next book

Great!

Another great book from Ms. Graham! I love the reader except for the whining parts...made me cringe at certain points throughout but otherwise great.

probably my least favorite so far

well, to start the story line was okay, but the narrator's attempt to sound like the character's, be it male or female, had a New Orleans accent killed it. plus, I kept getting annoyed at several of the character's attitudes towards others a lot. I quite listening several times for those reasons alone. this story line also seemed weak. I guessed the culprit about a fourth of the way into the book already and I was right. plus, I even guessed half the supposedly "shocking events". not the greatest book in my opinion at all.

Publisher's Summary:

Summer is ending in County Cork, Ireland, and with it the tourist season. Expat Maura Donovan is determined to keep Sullivan's Pub in the black as the days grow shorter - but how? When she hears that the place was once a hot spot for Irish musicians who'd come play in the back room, she wonders if bringing back live music might be Sullivan's salvation.

As word gets out, legendary musicians begin to appear at the pub, and the first impromptu jam session brings in scores of music lovers. But things hit a sour note when Maura finds a dead musician in the back room the next morning. With a slew of potential suspects, it's going to take more than a pint and a good think to force a murderer to face the music.

Members Reviews:

Repetitious elements and annoyingly fretful

Any additional comments?

I've audio-read the 2 in the series before this. In these, I felt there were many weak spots in the relating of the story line but I liked the Ireland village setting that seemed plausibly portrayed, liked the basically cozy friendly pub atmosphere created and many of the characters. And the plots were decently interesting. But in this one, An Early Wake, the author had the main character mumble on page after page in repeated fretting over things seriously stupid to fret over at all much less for a page. It was like she was just trying to fill pages. It was so irritating I had to force myself to finish it . . for the plot end.

It Makes Me Want A Pint

Any additional comments?

There is not wall to wall action but there are characters that you find yourself caring about.

Soft Peaceful Slice of Ireland

What did you love best about An Early Wake?

This is the third book in County Cork Mystery. Similar to the first two it is more about Ireland, Irish people than solving a crime. Yes there is a who done it but that is secondary to the story of the folks in this small village

Great series!

I thought that the books flowed very well from one to the other all the way to the current book. The series has a lot of charm and the narrator added to the charm! I would recommend the series to anyone who loves a good cozy mystery! So, grab your pint or a good strong cup of Irish tea and sit back and enjoy!

An interesting, albeit obvious, setup for another sequel

This was a pleasant enough read, though I don't feel it was as strong as the second book. However, it gave some new glimpses into the pub itself, refreshing looks at some of the earlier characters, and, I feel, a lot of promise for future volumes.

Amy Rubinate is inhabiting the characters And the various accents much more comfortably with each book. I look forward to her work in the future.

Publisher's Summary:

The latest enthralling case in Tess Gerritsen's New York Times bestselling Rizzoli & Isles series, the blockbuster books behind the smash hit TNT series.

Boston Detective Jane Rizzoli is on the case of a big game hunter found dead in his apartment, alone with the body of a beautiful white snow leopard he had recently been commissioned to procure and stuff for a high-profile museum in the area. Medical examiner Maura Isles connects the case to a number of seemingly unrelated deaths where the victims have all been found hanging upside down, the hallmark of a leopard's kill. Rizzoli follows the puzzling trail of clues all the way to Botswana, where she uncovers the unsolved mystery of a deadly camping safari four years prior. When she realizes the two cases are connected, Rizzoli must track down the sole survivor of the tragic trip to discover who - or what - is behind these gruesome deaths.

Members Reviews:

OK story, but narration is not good.

The story is okay, but not one of Gerritsen's best. And I did not guess the ending, which is good. The reviewer who said do not listen while eating was right. The narrator was a bad choice for this particular story. If you have characters from several countries, you need a narrator who can do accents as well as male and female parts.

VISCERA, EVISCERATE, EVISCERATION, EVISCERTED

KHAKI FEVER

I have enjoyed several of TG's books. I especially like her earlier writings before her show came out. Maybe that is because I am a man. I read the books, but don't watch the show. My wife does not read the books, but watches the show. Matter of fact when I got home this evening she was watching it on TNT. Her earlier writings were more gritty and less chick lit. Now it has become more touchy feely. Either way I still enjoy her writing, as I feel some of her personality comes out through her writing. Some writers write great adventures, some write thought provoking books and some write flowery descriptive books. I have never meet Gerrtisen, but through her books I feel I have. It is the same feeling I get when I read Walter Mosely or some of the older writers, such as Asimov or Heinlein. It is hard to put a finger on, just a certain style of writing. A FAMILY WITH OUT DRAMA WOULD NOT BE MINE.

If you do not like my title, do not get the book. I have never listened to a book before, that used the word Viscera or the many forms of it as much as this book has.

Eby has been narrating for a long time, but I was not real impressed with this reading. During action packed moments, she sounded like a tour guide at Disney. I have loved her reading of other books, just did not think this time it was a good match.

I was impressed

Any additional comments?

As a South African, I found the author's depiction of Africa, South Africa and the South African people excellent. I don't know how long she spent in South Africa and Botswana researching her book, but well done! Apart from using 'Afrikaans' names, like Jannie, the author also utilised the South African lingo accurately. The term "going on safari" is used by visitors to Africa. South Africans say they are "going to the bush". I was impressed.

Long-Awaited Book Does Not Disappoint

What made the experience of listening to Die Again the most enjoyable?

Ms. Gerritsen continues to build, to define, and to evolve her main characters as the series progresses.

Title: Dark Hollow

Subtitle: A Thriller

Author: John Connolly

Narrator: Jeff Harding

Format: Unabridged

Length: 14 hrs and 4 mins

Language: English

Release date: 12-09-14

Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 159 votes

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Modern Detective

Publisher's Summary:

When John Connolly burst upon the literary suspense scene in 1999, he was an immediate international sensation. His Every Dead Thing became an instantaneous best-seller in England, and here in America, his writing was greeted with extraordinary accolades. He won the prestigious Shamus Award for Best First Private Eye Novel, and, as the San Francisco Examiner wrote, "John Connolly's tale is as riveting and chilling as Thomas Harris's The Silence of the Lambs and James Patterson's Kiss the Girls."

Now, Connolly returns with Dark Hollow, a terrifying and ingenious novel of a murderous spree that reaches back decades into the victims' pasts. Back again is ex-New York Police Detective Charlie "Bird" Parker, who has returned to his hometown of Scarborough, Maine, after the vicious killings of his wife and daughter; it is time to leave the bloodstained streets of Manhattan and rebuild his family's house - as well as his own life. But for Bird, returning to his roots means digging through a mountain of terror, as memories of his father's and grandfather's untimely deaths resurface and drive him to join the manhunt for the killer of yet another mother and child. Though the obvious suspect is Billy Purdue, the violent former husband of the murdered young woman, another player lurks in this disturbing drama, someone entangled in the dark hollow of Bird's past.

Darkly atmospheric, tense, and imbued with the pause register ferocity that only the finest crime fiction offers, Dark Hollow is a stunning successor to Every Dead Thing, a testament to the burgeoning power of John Connolly to tell stories that thrill, frighten, and haunt the soul.

Members Reviews:

Painfully slow going

The story has some really thrilling moments, and those moments are very well written. The fore mentioned moments are few and far in between, but consider the source on this review because I really like rapid fire action books that don't give my mind the time to drift.

This murder mystery has lots of false or non clues, plenty of blood letting and violence with guns and knives, and maybe ritual killings, oh well if you are really curious check it out.

Oh I almost forgot ... It took me 4 days to plow through this book, and I must be the idiot because all the other reviewers seemed to love it..,,the last three chapters are very good

I could do without the romance

I really do not like when male readers do women's and children's voices. It's never convincing, and a bit disturbing.

2nd Charlie Parker novel honors the 1st

Another gripping story that captures the spirit of the first with equal measure. The story flows out of the first seamlessly with references to events from it that remind us of why we enjoyed "Every Dead Thing" so much. Excellent, dramatic Narration.

Excellent Holds Yor interest through the whole book

Excellent holds you interest all the way through!

You take your Kindle every where you go to see what is going to happen next.

The narrator keeps thrilling you through every chapter.

as suspensful to hear as it was to read

having already owned the book i was surprised at how much more i got out of hearing it too.
