    Publisher's Summary:
    Would you commit murder, just to fit in?
    The UK is gripped by the threat of gang violence - the media is building on that hysteria, convincing us that knife crime is rife and the streets are flooded with guns and drugs. So when a member of a notorious girl gang is charged with a brutal murder, sympathy is in short supply. Enter Lilly Valentine, a tough talking lawyer who is never prepared to take things at face value and is determined to uncover the truth, whatever the cost.
    A gripping crime novel that will force every listener to reassess what they think they know about society and gang culture.
    About the author: Helen grew up in Pontefract, West Yorkshire. At 18 she went to Hull University and left three years later with a tattoo on her shoulder and a law degree. She became a lawyer in Peckham and soon had a loyal following of teenagers needing legal advice and bus fares. She ended up working in Luton, working predominantly for children going through the care system.
    Critic Reviews:
    "A dark and gripping read that will have you on the edge of your seat" (Closer magazine)
    Members Reviews:
    Intriguing story read by my favorite narrator.
    Would you consider the audio edition of Blood Rush to be better than the print version?
    I have not read the print version; but since Imogen Church narrates the audio, nothing could be better. I discovered Helen Black because Imogen Church does the narration. I am addicted to Imogen Church, and I love thrillers, so I search for thrillers narrated by her. This was a good find.
    What was one of the most memorable moments of Blood Rush?
    Maybe the scene in the crack house? This was a very atmospheric, scene heavy novel, so there were many.
    What does Imogen Church bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?
    Thanks for giving me a chance to rhapsodize about my favorite narrator! She is able to embody each character with their unique voice, without drawing attention to the transition. Her velvety voice draws one inside the story, and is never distracting in itself. Her timing is always flawless. I find it very difficult to wean myself off of Imogen Church when I want to listen to a book narrated by someone else. I have listened to four Imogen Church narrations in a row. My definition of bliss is to be read aloud to by Imogen Church.
    Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
    Sorry, it would be a spoiler.
    Any additional comments?
    This is a fascinating glimpse inside the world of girl gangs, poverty and adolescent angst.
    I would give no stars if possible
    I hated this from the minute I started listening - the gang fight - the awful speech - etc. but when I got to the part where the heroine/solicitor was not capable of keeping staff because she was so untidy and disorganised - and then when we caught her trying to make a 360 degree circuit/twirl on her secretary's office chair, I really decide that I had better things to do.
    I bought this based on quite good reviews - but my goodness, I found it abysmal in both characters AND writing.
    Not a book I would recommend
    What would have made Blood Rush better?
    Difficult to say.

    Publisher's Summary:
    When a fellow shamus gets charged with murder, Wolfe comes to his rescue
    Staten Island would be forgettable were it not for the gleaming Tabernacle of the Silver Spire, where thousands of congregants come every Sunday to hear the sermons of Barnabas Bay. Millions more tune in on television, giving the good Reverend international fame, and a chance to spread the gospel from New York Citys harbor all the way to South Korea.
    But threatening notes have been appearing in the collection bag, suggesting that one of the faithful has decided its time this good shepherd get the hook. Believing organized religion is nothing more than a scam, rotund sleuth Nero Wolfe refuses to investigate the threats, instead recommending veteran investigator Fred Durkin for the case. But when Durkin is accused of murdering the Reverends assistant, Wolfe fights to clear his name. He may not be a Christian, but he will always help a brother in need.

    Entertaining!
    Nero Wolfe was created by author Rex Stout in 1934. I read many of the books written by Stout and always enjoyed them. Robert Goldsborough continued the series beginning in 1986.
    Nero Wolfe is an eccentric, slightly grumpy, and brilliant detective. Wolfe rarely leaves his home in New York City. Archie Goodwin is Wolfe's capable, wise cracking assistant. They are one of the most unique and interesting teams in mystery fiction.
    This story is briskly paced, and includes some colorful characters. It is a "whodunit" that had me guessing right to the end.
    Narrator L.J. Ganser has just the right tone for this narration.
    There is no graphic violence or sex, and no vulgar language.
    Nero and Archie return! 4 & 1/2 stars--not quite 5
    Robert Goldsborough has done a pretty good job re-creating The Nero Wolfe mystery series. I've truly enjoyed reading them. Mainly, the only thing that gives a slight discomfort is that Goldsborough has brought them out of the 1940-1960 time frame they were originally in to a more modern time (not sure when, exactly, but they now use computers). This would make them both be retirement age, or beyond, but Archie is still his eternally young self, and Nero never changes anyway. Suppose he actually is timeless :-)
    In this book, Wolfe is originally approached by someone from a huge mega-church who is seeking help in finding someone who is anonymously putting warning notes into the collection bag that threaten the minister, Barnaby Bay. Because of Wolfe's general antipathy toward organized religion he simply refuses to take on the case. So Archie suggests that one of the men who does investigations for them, Fred Durkin, be employed for the job instead. Unfortunately, someone gets shot with Fred Durkin's gun after he dares to suggest that the notes are an inside job, and he is arrested. This, finally, gets Wolfe motivated to take the job because he won't let anything happen to those he cares about.
    I have enjoyed listening to this series. In general Goldsborough has done a surprisingly good job of pulling Wolfe and Goodwin onto fresh pages. He has kept the original cast of characters, and in general, the same formula for the books that worked so well for Rex Stout. And I've read all the originals several times, so I think I'm a good critic. Generally, I have also enjoyed LJ Ganser's performance of them.

    Publisher's Summary:
    Freelance writer Troy Chance is snapping photos of the Saranac Lake Winter Carnival ice palace when the ice-cutting machine falls silent. Encased in the ice is the shadowy outline of a body. Troy's assigned to write an in-depth feature on the dead man, who was the privileged son of a wealthy Connecticut family who had been playing at a blue collar life in this Adirondack village. And the deeper Troy digs into his life and mysterious death, the murkier things become.
    After the victim's sister comes to town and a string of disturbing incidents unfold, it's clear someone doesn't want the investigation to continue. Troy doesn't know who to trust, and what she ultimately finds out threatens to shatter the serenity of these mountain towns.
    Members Reviews:
    A strong story of family, loss and redemption.
    Sara J. Henry's second book is another solid novel set in the Lake Placid region of New York. It is a simple then complicated and back to simple type of a story beginning with the discovery of a body in a frozen lake. By coincidence, fate of just plain dumb luck, Troy is there when a mans body is found and recovered from the frozen lake. She knows the person and shares her house with his girlfriend and begins writing a story for the local newspaper. I'll leave the rest of the story for you to discover and enjoy on your own. It is often touching, frightening, emotional and smart all within a single chapter. Some of our friends from Learning to Swim are back, in very minor - but not forgotten - roles.
    Part of my enjoyment of this series is Ms. Henry's spot-on description of the area and the people who inhabit this cold, remote place. They are indeed a hardy people who care about one another and do silly things like cut blocks of ice out of the lake to build and castle in the dead of winter. Occasionally, she takes a little literary license with some of the locations or behavior of the characters, but having many friends who live there, I believe she respects them and what it is they stand for. It is not an easy place to live, but some of the happiest people I know live there and the surrounding 50 miles. Sara has lived it and, if her writing about it is any indication, loves the tri-lakes especially those that call it home.
    I feel I must comment about the Narrator. I did not care for Abby Craden's portrayal of Troy. It was like she was telling the story in a whisper, like it was a secret. This is not how this character tells her story. I found this style/approach troublesome. I hope Suzanne Toren returns as Troy Chance giving us the strength and confidence the author has given her.
    Certainly a worth while listen/read indeed!
    great story, able to listen in the car w/ the kids
    Can't wait until the next book. these books have suspense and interpersonal relationships. There is not any inappropriate content.
    Great book, kept me so interested.
    Hope the author writes a sequel soon. Really kept me interested and it was a very well written book. It kept me so interested and the events unfolded at a good pace. Sad not know certain facts/details but I kind of like it the way it was all nicely put together.
    Meh
    I loved Sara's first book, Learning to Swim. However, this book I can barely get through.
    I'm just finding it boring.

    Members Reviews:
    Engaging Mystery in a Peaceful Setting
    I have read or listened to many of Charlotte MacLeod's books. I enjoy the characters, the humor, the settings and the mysteries.
    This book takes place in a large house in rural Wales. The author spends just enough time describing the settings, the characters, and some ancient Welsh traditions. As I listened, I envisioned how the place and the characters looked.
    Early in the book the pace is relaxed - that was fine for me. When a murder takes place, the pace picks up appropriately.
    For me the humor was gentle and chuckle inducing. It helped make two especially annoying characters bearable.
    Narrator William Dufris does an admirable job voicing a large number of male and female characters. It took me a chapter or two to get accustomed to his "rhythm". I'm not a stickler about "correctness" of character accents. If you are I would suggest that you listen to the sample.
    This book does not include graphic sex or violence. It is not a "thriller." If you enjoy a relaxed "cozy" mystery with a good story and a sense of humor, this book is for you.
    Good book; excellent raeding
    Any additional comments?
    I love Charlotte MacLeod's writing, but this book never really grabbed me ... until I listened to William Dufris's reading. Now I understood more of the humor, etc. I can't say enough good things about this performance!

    A page Turner on to the next Scumble River Mystery
    Would you consider the audio edition of Murder of a Sleeping Beauty to be better than the print version?
    Have not read a book for some time since signing up to Audible. Still love the feel of books but I have my phone and book with me all the time Great for a busy life.
    Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
    Yes this did. Sort of had an idea but the twists and turns kept me really interested and love the reader. Will look for other books she reads.
    Which character as performed by Christine Leto was your favorite?
    Main Character
    Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
    Just kept up my interest
    Any additional comments?
    Have read three more following and plan to start with the first Scumble River
    least expected
    wow this book touches me, I think mostly because it dealt with kids and the things that they go through while growing up and in school.. you never know how a person feels on the inside they may look like they have it all together on the outside but they are screaming on the inside.. the same goes for parents and the whole family.. this whole family looked perfect on the outside but had more sadness, and struggle than anyone else in town.. I'm ready for book 4.
    Like this Series Despite Stereotypical Characters
    I enjoyed this third installment of the Scumble River Mysteries. I find Skye likable and entertaining, even if her taste in men is terrible. The mystery remains when Skye will fix her love life. In this book we encounter lots of self centered people, high school cheerleaders and beauty pageant contestants. I think I would have preferred more three dimensional characters. I mean does every single popular kid have to be mean, weight obsessed, completely shallow and basically indistinguishable from each other? Skye manages to be much more sympathetic to people than I would have been. I plan to continue this series and see what she's up to in the next book.

And how is all this linked to her murder?

    Short and rushed
    What did you like best about A Candle for the Bag Lady? What did you like least?
    Love the characters but always feel like the endings are rushed.
    What didnt you like about Lawrence Blocks performance?
    His voice is very monotone and he speaks to quickly. Needs to slow down and punctuate certain sentences. Also needs to change the pitch of different characters.
    If this book were a movie would you go see it?
    No too short
    candle for the bag lady
    An intriguing book, where you cant wait for the list of heirs to her unknown fortune be revealed. it could have been a lot longer, so that we had more answers, but it was enjoyable for all that
    A Pleasant Surprise
    The synopsis looked intriguing and it was a very different approach however I have really enjoyed listening to this and will look for more by author

    Publisher's Summary:
    A small Maine city has turned into a killing ground. Is it a serial killer, someone with a penchant for the macabre and a need to destroy?
    Or is it a darker force, an ancient legend from a mysterious Island come ashore to wreak havoc upon the unsuspecting?
    Amid the backdrop of Portlands burgeoning night scene, Police Lieutenant Rick Jennings discovers that no one is safe, and that evil has many faces.
    Extended Description:
    Danny Wolf, a gifted musician with alcohol problems is witnessing brutal murder in his dreams. Someone is carving a cross on each of the young female victims before crucifying them.
    Newly released from prison for a crime he did not commit, Wolf is having trouble adjusting to civilian life. He believes the dreams are a symptom of his adjustment until he discovers that they are real and that the victims are his own groupies. He soon begins to doubt his sanity. Could he be a homicidal madman?
    Wolf has no memory of his early childhood but discovers that he spent his first eight years in a Catholic orphanage on a mysterious island off the coast of Maine. Is it possible that his early life and the murders are somehow connected?
    Soon the killings become more bold and gruesome, as members of the church begin to die.
    Enter Police Lieutenant Rick Jennings and his young assistant Laura Higgins. They discover a government conspiracy involving the Catholic Church, and a cold war CIA mind control program known as MK-Ultra where children were used as test subjects.
    Danny Wolf becomes the number one suspect in the murders, but no one, not even Wolf, is prepared for what they discover on Apocalypse Island, a mind blowing secret that was supposed to stay hidden forever.
    Apocalypse Island is a fast-paced thriller that will keep you guessing until the shocking conclusion.
    Critic Reviews:
    Mark Edward Hall writes like a master. Stephen King, yes, but also like Stoker, Poe, and Bradbury, yeah, even Shakespeare...all those good guys weveforgotten. His prose is hypnotic and seductive, visceral, and edgy. Hes the real thing. (Kiana Davenport,
    New York Times Bestselling Author of
    Cannibal Nights and
    House of Skin)
    Poetic and eerily seductive, Hall pushes you to the edge, until you get lost in the beautiful madness of his creations. (
    Midwest Book Review)
    Hall has an uncanny knack for blending vivid, almost poetic prose with visceral images of jaw-dropping horror to great effect. (Bram Stoker AwardWinning Editor, Vince Liaguno)
    Members Reviews:
    Great story idea, character dialogue is stilted
    The idea of the story is very good but the dialogue between characters in the book seems a little stilted. I just can't imagine people in the real world talking to each other like that. Also, there seems to be some production quality issues early on in the recording. I swear I can hear some background noises like pages being turned in the first hour.
    Despite all that this was a very enjoyable listen. While listening I kept imagining this book as a movie like The Crow. I look forward to listening to some other Mark Edward Hall books.
    Awesome story
    Excellent plot, suspense and narration.
    The characters were very well developed and the story was very well designed.
    Highly recommend!
    Good Story, just took a minute to understand it

    Publisher's Summary:
    Popular author Harry Kemelman combines baffling crimes, fascinating characters, and rich Jewish tradition to create his best-selling mystery series. In Monday the Rabbi Took Off, an exhausted Rabbi David Small searches for relaxation in Israel, only to find himself in the midst of an explosive international incident. After six years of leading a challenging congregation, Rabbi Small is taking his dream vacation: three months in Jerusalem without any rabbinical duties. He is finally getting the rest he needs - until a new acquaintance is found dead after a bombing. Suddenly the savvy young Rabbi is up against the formidable Israeli intelligence and faceless Arab terrorists with murder on their minds. With Harry Kemelmans dramatic flair, you will feel as if you are walking the colorful streets of Jerusalem alongside the perceptive Rabbi Small. George Guidall - personally approved for this unabridged recording by the authors estate - skillfully breathes life into the ordinary people caught in extraordinary situations.
    Members Reviews:
    Interesting mystery, almost incidental to story.
    The Rabbi takes a leave of absence to spend 3 months in Jerusalem. The book was publshed in 1972, so was written in the period between the 6-day war (1967) and the Yom Kippur War (1973). This was around the time I first visited Israel, so I experienced a certain nostalgia in the listening. Among other things, the story dramatizes the tension between the sabras and non-religious Jews and the strictly observant Hasidim and other religious sects, a tension that has only become more exacerbated with time, especially in Jerusalem and environs. In this story, it is dramatized mostly by conflicts between parents and children. The mystery itself concerns the murder of an auto trader, apparently by a terrorist bomb. As usual, the Rabbi eventually solves the crime for the police, seemingly by logic, although I found it hard to believe he could have discerned all that he told just by a careful examination of some of the evidence. Despite my disappointment, I don't regret the time spent listening. The narration by George Guidall is excellent, as usual.
    disappointing
    What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
    less trivia and some mystery or detective content
    Would you ever listen to anything by Harry Kemelman again?
    no thanks

    Three years ago, Caro Warrick was acquitted for the murder of her best friend, Amelia Bettecourt, but the lingering doubts of everyone around Caro is adversely affecting her life. Sharon McCone is confident that she can succeed where other detectives have failed (though at times it's hard to shake her own misgivings about what happened), but when Caro is brutally beaten right at Sharon's doorstep, the investigation takes on a whole new course. How many more people remain at risk until Amelia's murderer is finally caught?
    This audio includes a bonus McCone story, "Skeleton in the Closet"!

    Narrator needs to practice
    Not the best Sharon McCone mystery, but still an enjoyable story. Not sure why certain elements were introduced, like "Jake" being involved in illegal arms dealing, if it apparantly had little or nothing to do with the plot and then was just left hanging at the end, but no big deal. Another worthwhile listen from Ms. Muller.
    But the one thing that drove me crazy, is the one that most frequently drives me crazy about narrators. Ridiculously mis-pronounced words. It would seem that anyone hired to narrate a recorded book would first read the book, perhaps highlight the words they don't know, and then look them up. Or listen to previous narrators who got them correct. Or most basically, ask the author who certainly knows them very well. Some are local dialect, in which case the reader might ask someone who lives there. Some are less commonly known words in general. But if the author has chosen to include them in the story, the reader should prepare and get them right. Small stuff maybe, but it's jarring to the ear, and diminishes the enjoyment of the book. I've spent many wonderful days in the wine country. Someone please look up how to say Lytton Springs. I'm also a pilot. McCone long flew and loved a delightful aerobatic plane. It's called a Citabria (basically aerobatic spelled backwards). Not a common name outside aviation circles, but...really not that hard! Ms. Hicks absolutely butchered it. Please Laura, if you ever read another McCone novel, prepare better!
    This book is worth your credit!
    Would you listen to Looking for Yesterday again? Why?
    Absolutely. I liked that Sharon was the center of attention again and the story was very compelling.
    Who was your favorite character and why?
    I think Ted and Ray are my favorites but they don't get a lot of airtime in this book.
    What does Laura Hicks bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?
    Voices for everyone - even when I read her books now I will have voices for all the characters.
    Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
    Nope but I listen to books to escape.
    Marcia Muller at Her Best
    If you could sum up Looking for Yesterday in three words, what would they be?
    Great Mystery Book!
