Zusammenfassung des Herausgebers:

Auf einem Kinderbauernhof in Amsterdam verschwindet am helllichten Tag ein kleiner Junge. Trotz tagelanger Suche bleibt er unauffindbar. Die Polizei ist höchst alarmiert und leitet eine groß angelegte Suchaktion ein. Wie sich zeigt, ist der Vorfall bloß der Anfang. Überall in Nordholland werden Kinder vermisst gemeldet, und bald verfolgt das ganze Land fieberhaft das mediale Geschehen. Maud Mertens, die Leiterin der Ermittlungen, gerät immer stärker unter Druck.

Schon einmal hat die altgediente Kommissarin durch eine falsche Entscheidung den Tod eines Kindes mitverschuldet, und sie beginnt zu zweifeln, ob sie die Richtige für diesen Job ist. Unterstützung erhält sie von der jungen Kriminalistik-Studentin Kyra Slagter, deren Schwester vor Jahren spurlos verschwunden ist und die Mertens bereits in einem anderen Fall "ungebeten" assistierte: ein ungleiches Paar, das sich dennoch perfekt ergänzt. Als eine erste Kinderleiche auftaucht, ist klar: Die Täter schrecken vor nichts zurück - und jede Minute zählt.

Publisher's Summary:

They are the victims no one has ever cared about - until now.

Agents Stevens and Windermere return in the blistering new crime novel from the fast-rising, multi-award-nominated suspense star.

She was a forgotten girl, a runaway found murdered on the High Line train through the northern Rocky Mountains and, with little local interest, put into a dead file. Only, she was not alone. When Kirk Stevens and Carla Windermere of the joint FBI-BCA violent crime force stumble upon the case, they discover a horror far greater than anyone expected - a string of murders on the High Line, all of them young women drifters whom no one would notice. But someone has noticed now. Through the bleak midwinter and a frontier land of forbidding geography, Stevens and Windermere follow a frustratingly light trail of clues - and where it ends, even they will be shocked.

Members Reviews:

Terrific. Windemere and Stevens are great together

This is the sixth book in this series, and it actually does keep getting better. We get to know both of these people as partners and as individuals, and their teamwork when it comes to solving tough cases is just delightful. Carla is voluble and Kirk is calm, like many of us good, solid mid-Westerners. We don't get ruffled all that easily. We get pulled into the story of yet another serial murderer (why has this become such a gigantic thing lately?) who works the High Line, which is a series of freight trains that speed up and down the rails along the northwestern states of the country. Kids who are kinda lost have begun jumping these trains and riding them back and forth across the coldest climes in the country. Needless to say, there are dangers of all sorts attendant on this kind of hoboish behavior. The girls are at the worst risk. A killer begins stalking them and then killing them, and he racks up quite a scorecard before Windemere and Stevens start getting close to him. Possibly the greatest pleasure for me in this series is the narration of Edoardo Ballerini. I just love this guy. He is so easy to listen to; he never slips up, and he seems to be very calmly in command of his extraordinary talent at all times, no matter how frantic the action becomes. I would listen to him read almost anything, although maybe not the proverbial NYC phone book (isn't that an anachronism by now? Aren't all phone books now subsumed under the web?). Anyway, I digress. Duh. The plot holds you very tightly, and there are many moments when you truly believe that the villain has the upper hand (he truly does at several points). But Carla and Kirk come through in the end, as of course you knew that they would, or else how would there be more books in the serial? As far as I am concerned, Messrs. Laukkenan and Ballerini could well continue to weave these fine stories for years and years into the future. I will be happy indeed to surrender my credits to them, and to Audible. Bravo! Encore!

Laukkanen writes a good series made better by Ballerini

I have enjoyed all of the Windermere and Stevens series. Edoardo Ballerini's stellar narration just makes them that much better.

This book is a police procedural that does not involve super human scenes. It is just a believable story of crime and suspense and a mad man who wants to murder beautiful women because he believes he's been wronged by all beautiful women he has ever tried to spend time with.

Members Reviews:

Good Plot - Bad Narrator

I enjoyed the plot. The characters are still pretty thin, but there is more fleshing out and I liked cameos from past books. Narrator is still flat, but maybe I'm getting used to it as it didn't bother me as much.

Not Hambling's best

Sophie comes off as a bit too precious. I don't like her smug righteousness. Also didn't care for the narrator's portrayal.

Burried Crimes

Have become quite fond of the characters in this series and enjoy the twists and turns in every episode. Cat Gould is an excellent narrator clear consise clearly capturing the characters personalities . Once again an excellent narration.

Title: Devil's Trill

Subtitle: A Daniel Jacobus Mystery, Book 1

Author: Gerald Elias

Narrator: Jim Frangione

Format: Unabridged

Length: 12 hrs and 12 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-08-17

Publisher: Alison Larkin Presents

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 22 votes

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Modern Detective

Publisher's Summary:

Devil's Trill - a mystery in sonata-allegro form - is the first-ever audiobook to integrate musical passages that provide clues to solving the mysteries!

Author Gerald Elias, a renowned concert violinist himself, performs the music. Blind, sharp-tongued violinist Daniel Jacobus, living in self-imposed exile in rural New England, is drawn into mysterious crimes in New York City. A stolen Stradivarius - a strangled teacher of child prodigies - Jacobus is not only the chief investigator of these misdeeds, he's the prime suspect! A police detective hot on his tail, Jacobus roams the bucolic Berkshires, hallowed Carnegie Hall, and tradition-bound Japan, searching for answers only he can see. With alluring student Yumi and jazz-loving Nathaniel at his side, Jacobus feels his way through self-doubt and darkness.

The shadowy spheres of classical music and steamy streets of the Big Apple give noir a new meaning in the first mystery novel in the gripping Daniel Jacobus series.

Critic Reviews:

"slow burn suspense...Jim Frangione embodies the grizzled music-instructor-turned-gumshoe Jacobus. Violin performances by the author sprinkled throughout provide clues. A solid mystery! (AudioFile)

Members Reviews:

Great!

This book provides a unique view of the classical music world, and it's an extra bonus to hear it read and played as an audiobook. Elias' writing is humorous and knowledgeable, and Frangione's voice captures it perfectly. The musical performance adds richness and depth to the story; you really feel like you're there.

The plot of the mystery is truly engaging and reveals to the listener the lesser known facets of familiar places. Who knew the concert hall had such a dark and shadowy side?

Even having read the original, the audiobook was a whole new experience. Definitely worth a listen, whether or not you've read the paper version of Devil's Trill.

Suspense in the World of Classical Music

Would you listen to Devil's Trill again? Why?

Certainly! Jim Frangione's reading and Gerald Elias' music combine for a magical experience.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Devil's Trill?

When the author's violin enters- the whole story comes alive with the magnificent music.

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

Certainly and I did- from house to car!

Any additional comments?

It's a great mystery in itself but how unique it is to have the music that is part of the story and to have it played by the author. I love all the Jacobus books and hope this is just the first of the audio versions.

LOVED this incredible Audiobook Experience!

An experience is truly the only way to describe this WONDERFUL audiobook!

I've never heard anything like it- gorgeous violin music is intertwined in this thrilling mystery novel as an essential component of the story-telling.

Title: The Freedom Broker

Subtitle: A Thea Paris Novel

Author: K.J. Howe

Narrator: Therese Plummer

Format: Unabridged

Length: 10 hrs and 13 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-07-17

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 44 votes

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Modern Detective

Publisher's Summary:

There are 25 elite kidnap and ransom specialists in the world. Only one is a woman: Thea Paris. And she's the best in the business.

Twenty years ago, a terrified young boy was abducted in the middle of the night by masked intruders while his sister watched, paralyzed with fear. Returned after a harrowing nine months with his captors, Thea's brother has never been the same.

This life-shattering experience drove Thea to become what she is today: a world-class freedom broker. Most hostage-recovery work is done at the negotiation table, but when diplomacy fails, Thea leads Quantum Security International's black-ops team on highly sensitive rescue missions to political hot spots around the globe.

Her childhood nightmare resurfaces when her oil magnate father, Christos Paris, is snatched from his yacht off Santorini on his 60th birthday, days away from the biggest deal of his career. The brutal kidnappers left the entire crew slaughtered in their wake, but strangely, there are no ransom demands, no political appeals, no prisoner release requests - just obscure and foreboding texts written in Latin sent from burner phones.

Knowing the survival window for kidnap victims is small, Thea throws herself into the most urgent and challenging rescue mission of her life - but will she be able to prevent this kidnapping from destroying her family for good?

Members Reviews:

Great Read and listen

Ms Plummer brings this book to life. KJ Howe great 1st time Author. Excellent Book!

Uneven series start but would read the sequel

This is an interesting twist in the thriller genre, and welcome on many levels. But ultimately it thrills less than it should. That said, I'd listen to the sequel. Everything is "decent" or "good" but I never felt my pulse quicken.

A surprise! Never a dull moment!

This was a bargain purchase and in one of my favorite genres. I was pleased to find a complex and fast moving plot. I will try this author again.

Had high hopes for this one, but it was only ok!

I heard an interview with the author, just a couple of days ago, and this, her first thriller novel, sounded really interesting! I'm an avid listener of thrillers/mysteries, and feel that the author followed an already frequently used style of thriller story line! I'm certainly not qualified as a book critic, however, I found this book to be only mildly "thrilling" or interesting! So sorry!

Awesome new author and character.

I loved this one from the beginning. The writing was super and I loved the narrator. Cannot wait for her next book!!

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Modern Detective

Publisher's Summary:

When a young immigrant woman and an exotic dancer are forced to flee men with guns and have no place to hide, Richard Noggin, PI, can't turn his back - even if helping out makes him a target. Richard plans to impress an aspiring politician by taking on a big white-collar case that could take him from the streets to an air-conditioned office. Instead, he's handed a cold case and quickly finds himself sucked into a shadowy world of sex, secrets and murder. Marked for a bullet and stretched thin by his investigations, Richard reluctantly teams up with the unlikely, brassy custodian of the young woman on the run. With bodies piling up, Richard and his companion are forced to go undercover in a most unlikely locale: the Leisure Lagoon, a nudist resort. Going undercover in this instance will mean going uncovered...but lives are at stake - and this Naked Eye will have to juggle to keep his balls in the air and connect the dots before anyone else is murdered. As his pulse-quickening quest for answers leads from the dark corners of Orlando's Little Saigon to the sunny exposure of the Leisure Lagoon, Richard will be put to the test. Just how much will this Naked Eye have to bear...or bare?

Members Reviews:

Crazy characters in a crazy world

This first novel in The Naked Eye Series is a very good start. I'm glad I decided to listen to audio rather than read the book because Steven Barnett is a wonderful narrator. He juggled a mild-mannered private eye, an often outraged transsexual, a frightened Asian teenager and a stereotypical Dragon Lady. The story--private eye gets sucked into helping two young women flee a mafia ring of child prostitution and hides them for a time at a nudist resort--is par for the course in a state that has interstates lined with billboards claiming life begins at conception alternating with those hawking the adult store off the next exit. Nicholls takes tips from the masters in creating unique, likeable characters. Brandi, the transsexual formerly known as Brandon, is no doubt going to be every reader's favorite. Noggin is a slow burn; generally likeable but seemingly sheltered and out of his depth for a private eye. I do have a few minor quibbles with the novel:

1. The pace was uneven, most often fast but occasionally it would grind to a halt while Brandi or some other character got up on a soap box to pontificate.

2. Some of the characters, like the evil Dragon Lady as I thought of her, were just too stereotypical, too one-dimensional.

3. While the history of nudism and the nudist resort in particular was interesting, it really slowed the novel down. Some of the history could have been saved for future installments.

4. An Aha moment late in the novel, as Noggin and Brandi solved one particular murder, was underwhelming since the murderer seemed to come from left field.

5. Finally, and this is just a personal observation, I really didn't like how Brandon became Brandi. I liked Brandi a lot and felt very comfortable and fascinated with her integration of her feminine self and her masculine experiences. But the reason why Brandi became Brandon was a disappointing discovery.

All that said, I do recommend this first installment in S.K Nicholls's new The Naked Eye series.

Publisher's Summary:

His name is Roarke. His history is a swath of blood and violence. Released from prison after another man died under his fists, he's found some semblance of peace as a private investigator. Sometimes he's hired to solve a problem. Sometimes he's hired to do something mean. He prefers the one, but he isn't above the other. When he's hired to locate a gorgeous banking executive's missing niece, Roarke suspects the case might be just another ugly custody fight between the girl's parents. A single gunshot aimed his way proves him wrong and convinces him to give the missing girl his undivided attention. Soon, Roarke finds himself drawn away from his Detroit lair and into the northern wilderness where an armed militia calling themselves the Sovereign North are holding the girl. Lead by a silver-tongued preacher and a remorseless killer called The Last Watchman, the Sovereign North are waiting for him. They think they can bargain with him. They think he can be reasoned with. They're wrong.

Members Reviews:

A great new hard boiled detective series

If you could sum up The Last Watchman Still Rides in three words, what would they be?

Very gritty, excellent character development. Superb narration. I recently made a 10 hour drive and this audiobook was the perfect accompaniment.

This is one tough guy!

Beaten, shot, stabbed, and betrayed this guy never quits. This main character is a little dark but still a good guy. Rules don't apply -- if he makes it his mission nothing short of death will stop him. The story was pretty good although it dragged in a few places. I think this is worth a credit and I'll look for sequels.

I received this book for free in exchange for an unbiased review from Audiobook Boom.

Solid action thriller

If you could sum up The Last Watchman Still Rides in three words, what would they be?

See headline.

The story is solid and has good action. It follows the popular ex soldier turned detective for hire who is a one man A team. Nothing new here but still a good story.

Who was your favorite character and why?

The cab driver. He called his cab service Johnny Cab. You know. From Total Recall.

What does Brian Callanan bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?

His gravely and rugged voice was a perfect match for the main character. No way my internal voice could be that.

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

No extreme reaction. I did find that if I skipped a day, listened over the holidays, that it took a bit to get back into. I was all excited at first and then would lose interest. This wasn't the fault of the author or narrator; but, for some reason, despite thoroughly enjoying the book, I often had to force myself to turn it on and not listen to something else. Hopefully that is just me.

Any additional comments?

I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.

Fantastic!

Any additional comments?

I was immediately drawn into the story by Brian's engaging timbre. The story was interesting and full of action and suspense but it's his narration that made this story STELLAR. Definitely looking forward to hearing more from this narrator. Bravo!

Solid Story

Solid story with well thought out characters and some nice plot twists.

Zusammenfassung des Herausgebers:

I.Q. nennt man Isaiah Quintabe in den schwarzen Hoods von Los Angeles. Weil er ein Genie ist und weil er als eine Art Nachbarschaftsdetektiv ohne Lizenz den "kleinen Leuten" zu ihrem Recht verhilft. Oder wenn das schwierig ist, immerhin zu Gerechtigkeit, Genugtuung und Entschädigung. Zusammen mit seinem Sidekick, dem schlagfertigen Gangsta Dodson, wird er wider Willen von dem Top-Rapper Murda One angeheuert, um Mordanschläge auf dessen Leben aufzuklären. Das führt ins finstere Herz des Rap-Business, wo sich jede Menge wunderliche und tödliche Gestalten tummeln: Gangsta Rapper, Bitches, Anwälte, Auftragskiller, Drogenbosse, Big-Business-Leute und Medienvolk.

Bald haben es I.Q. und Dodson mit verfeindeten Gangs, schießwütigen Narcos und gierigen Musikproduzenten zu tun. Gut, dass I.Q. ein Weltmeister der Deduktion ist, und gut auch, dass er notfalls genauso viel kriminelle Energien hat wie seine Widersacher. Oder noch mehr...

Mitglieder Bewertungen:

I've never read a book like this before.

Think "The Wire" written and directed by Charles Dickens. Erudite, colloquial, but most importantly, an interesting page turner. The story examines a gifted young man's response to loss(es), who matter-of-factly lives in a neighborhood surrounded by violence and risky economy. The story of the present and past are interwoven around the growth and development of a humble hero whose sense of fair play commands respect without violence. While there are guns, blood ,sex, drugs, these are only adjectives to support the story of Isaiah and his friends, and carry it forward. When the book ends, on a completely unexpected and intriguing note, one is left wanting more. Soon! This is one of the best books I've ever read for character development, emotion, and story.

Read this book!

I loved this book. This really is a step away from the hard boiled detective book that you can figure out by page 60. Interesting characters and well written. I read in excess of a hundred books annually and most are just entertainment. While entertaining, this was on a different level. Most of the time, I really don't like to dual timelines and different points of view can be tricky but Joe Ide made it work. I hope the guy writes more books because I want to read them.

Members Reviews:

Fun amatuer mystery

The audiobook narrator was a perfect fit for this story. I enjoyed the cosy mystery/amateur detective/light and fun feel. It was refreshing to read a story that focussed on the mystery and didn't get complicated by a romance thread. I kept expecting it to turn romantic, which would have disappointed me as the heroine claimed to be happily married. Thankfully, she remained happily married to the end, though got herself caught up in all manner of problems on the way.

Fun Book!

Any additional comments?

This is a great book; this is the first book in the Daisy Dunlop series written by JL Simpson and narrated by Mary Phillips. British female sleuth, Daisy Dunlop, thinks "heir hunting" is her dream job. Too bad she has to work with her worst nightmare, private investigator Solomon Liffey. They've barely spoken since he took her husband's request to keep her safe far too literally and handcuffed her to the kitchen sink. Solomon has no interest in babysitting a new partner, especially this one. The woman's a bleedin' liability. She has no concept of danger and could flirt for England at the next Olympics. As if that isn't bad enough, she has a habit of sticking her nose in where it's not wanted, including into Solomon's very private life. Determined to keep Daisy safely out the way, Solomon sets her the task of finding a missing person. Her investigations land her in the middle of his case. Bullets fly, bombs explode, and the number of murder victims keeps rising. When Solomon goes missing, the tables are turned. Now his life is in Daisy's hands.

The narrator Mary Phillips did a wonderful job with this book. She did a great job with the different voices of each character in this book. It was very easy to listen to and I didnt want to stop listening until the end.

If you are looking for a great book with well-developed characters then you need to listen to this book. I am looking forward to listening to the next book by this author and narrator.

I voluntarily reviewed an advanced readers copy of this book. The free book held no determination on my personal review.

An interesting read full of mystery and humor

I received this audio for the return of a honest review.

At first, it was difficult to 'get into the book' as it seemed to drag on in the beginning.
