Great Read..Good Series to Try

I enjoyed this book and the others in the series very much. The subplot romance story line is also engaging without being annoying.

I love it

This is just like the soaps I used to watch before the network cancelled them. I'm addicted. This is a great series.

Critic Reviews:

"Yet another exhilarating ride....This is first-rate entertainment." (Publishers Weekly)

Members Reviews:

A great author, a great book

This is one of the most under rated authors ( besides Steve Thayer). Anyone of his books will grab you and make you hate putting it down. Great story, interesting characters and suspense. If you have not read any of James Siegel's books, you are missing out. I wish he would write more.

Don't miss it

A real good read! Full of surprises

Forget It...

Forget your job. Your family. Plans for the weekend. Forget it all if you decide to pick up James Siegel's "Detour". Once you start, consider your life on hold till you finish.

Like Siegel's "Derailed" of two years ago, "Detour" is a high adrenaline rush of terror for the ordinary guy who finds his life spinning violently out of control. This life is that of Paul Breidbart, an insurance actuary, and his wife Joanna. Wanting nothing more than to adopt a child, Paul and Joanna find themselves in a nightmare of South American drug cartels, crooked lawyers, and the ubiquitous Russian mobsters seemingly obligatory in pop thrillers. As an actuary, Breidbart views life in probability and risk - a skill that comes in handy as he finds himself facing so many successive steroid-class catastrophes that an alien invasion would not have occurred improbable. Unthinkable brutality and enough twists to qualify the title, this is one mean read.

As with "Derailed", Siegel's lean prose wastes no time as it moves at the pace of the best thriller films, giving neither characters nor readers much chance to catch a breath along the way. If Paul Breidbart were to handicap "Detour", I suspect he'd calculate a 98% probability of unqualified entertainment. Bravo!

Very interesting

A very good book!

Three Stars

Just as good as his other book - Derailed! A good summer beach read.

Title: Who Killed Bianca?

Author: Emma Darcy

Narrator: Stephanie Daniel

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8 hrs and 16 mins

Language: English

Release date: 07-08-05

Publisher: Bolinda Publishing Pty Ltd

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 28 votes

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense

Publisher's Summary:

Bianca Bernini did not foresee she would inspire her own murder when she boarded the legendary Ghan for the two-day train trip from Sydney to Alice Springs. As the most read, most listened to gossip columnist in Australia, she was revelling in her power to ruin the lives of eight other passengers, eight highly placed, privileged people, who were determined on hiding their secrets at any cost. What would they pay to stop the public revelations she could and would make? For K.C. Gordon, successful romance novelist, travelling is a way of recharging her batteries: meeting new people, seeing new places, embracing new experiences. Wanting to set her next story in the Australian outback, she starts off her trip on The Ghan hoping some of the passengers will provide inspiration for new characters. Within an hour of the train leaving platform one, she is reluctantly drawn into the web Bianca is weaving around her victims. But the web is already spun. K.C. is once more caught up in the inescapable threads of murder as a prime witness.

Editorial Reviews:

Winner of the 2002 Ned Kelly award for crime fiction, Emma Darcy's suspense-filled Who Killed Bianca? tips its hat to Agatha Christie's Murder on the Orient Express in this modern whodunit set on board Australia's famous Ghan train bound for the Outback.

Stephanie Daniel ratchets up the tension with her animated, energetic performance, and keeps the listener guessing until the last chapter as romance novelist K. C. Gordon takes it upon herself to expose which of the eight suspects, all members of Australian high society with plenty of skeletons in their closet, had enough of a motive to murder a divisive gossip columnist.

Members Reviews:

Murder on the Ghan Express

What a delightful find! The characters are devine, the setting exotic and the mystery obscure! Join KC Gordon on a trip to Australia's heartland on a famous train and learn a little about this wonderful country in the process! I'm happy that Audible has both her other KC Gordon books ("Who Killed Angelique" and "Who Killed Camilla") and they will be my next 'listens'.

Ms. Darcy seems to have made a successful transition from romance writer, even though KC Gordon (the protagonist) is one. I personally could have done without the short and not particularly graphic sex scenes, but they do further character development. There is also very minimal use of the 'f' and other 'cuss' words (again, appropriately used and not liberally sprinkled for effect) so you might not want to listen when small children are present.

These are minor drawbacks to an excellent mystery and the narrator is very good. You'll hate Bianca, and have a wonderful time discovering who killed her. Enjoy!

Nice Stuff!

I enjoyed this fun mystery with interesting although decidedly unreal characters. These are not people you'd expect to run into at your local Piggly Wiggly (and be grateful for that!). The romance writer turned mystery writer is a delightful addition to the detective genre and this type of mystery is not written well at all anymore. Glad to see there are other novels available.

A great read

Would you consider the audio edition of Who Killed Bianca? to be better than the print version?

Have not read the print version

What did you like best about this story?

very good descriptions of people and places.

Publisher's Summary:

Now Audrey Rhimes, a police investigator with an agenda of her own, is determined to connect Nick to the homicide. In the meantime, Nick begins to unravel a web of intrigue within his own corporation, involving his closest colleagues, that threatens to gut the company and bring him down with it. With everything he spent his life working for hanging in the balance, Nick Conover discovers that life at the top is just one small step away from a long plunge to the bottom.

Critic Reviews:

"A frightfully good suspense thriller." (Booklist)

"Mr. Finder's Company Man confirms what his Paranoia made clear: he has unusually keen instincts for back-stabbing in the business world. And somehow or other, exotica about the workings of a company that manufactures office furniture become unnaturally interesting here." (The New York Times)

Members Reviews:

Outstanding book.

This was one of the top mystery books I've read over the last several years. The characters are really life like and exciting. The story kept my attention from start to finish. I just didn't want to but the book down. I CAN'T WAIT to read it again. Everybody should love this one. Thanks Joseph Finder for writing such a fine fine book. by a serious listener, Norman Harrison

Entertaining Read

I read this book just after finishing Joseph Finder's previous novel, "Paranoia." I do enjoy Finder's writing style in "The Company Man" (it's very conversational), but the plot was entirely unbelievable to me in spots; e.g., Nick's relationship with Cassie, for example. I also had hoped for wider twists and turns in the plot than there were. Although I enjoyed this book, I preferred "Paranoia.?

Go for it!

I haven't finished yet but almost. I hope I'm not just a Scott Brick follower but I don't think so. This is really good. Lots of good twists. Get it.

Twist and Turns

Great listen. Interesting how the hero of this story comes out whole. One of the better books I have heard.

Eh.

I thought this book was pretty bad. The plot was predictable and the motivations of the characters absurd. I wish I had done myself a favor and stopped listening.

Publisher's Summary:

Anna Corbett had been widowed right before her son was born. Beset by debt and personal tragedy, she faces the toughest challenge of her life - holding on to the ranch that is her son's birthright - unaware that she is at the center of Carl Herbold's vengeful plan. Ezzy Hardge is a retired lawman who is haunted by the one crime he sacrificed everything to solve, but could not. And Jack Sawyer, a seemingly easygoing cowboy and drifter whose past is shrouded in mystery, understands Herbold's twisted mind and his hate-filled lust for vengeance. Risking exposure of his own troubled past, Jack arrives at Anna Corbett's ranch asking for work, but in reality hoping to protect the innocent deaf woman and her young son from Herbold's rage.

Carl Herbold's prison break draws them inexorably toward a day of reckoning: Ezzy, an over-the-hill peace officer seeking redemption; Jack, a man stalked by dark secrets he can no longer outrun; and Anna, a beautiful woman locked in silence and self-imposed isolation. All must grapple with their own demons before their tumultuous confrontation with a diabolical killer.

is concerned and in fear of the expected return of a local bad guy, Carl Herbold

UNSPEAKABLE, BY Sandra Brown, is about a handsome drifter who shows up on Delray Corbettâs cattle ranch looking for work. Delray, an aging rancher who needs help with his chores reluctantly hires Jack Sawyer. Sawyer proves to be a reliable and hard worker and soon earns Delrayâs confidence. Corbett is increasingly concerned for the safety of his widowed and deaf daughter-in-law, Anna, and his young grandson, David, who live with him on the ranch. Everyone in Blewer, Texas, is concerned and in fear of the expected return of a local bad guy, Carl Herbold, Corbettâs estranged stepson whom he helped convict, and who recently escaped from an Arkansas prison. Herbold, along with his ruthless prison cellmate, Myron Hutts, leaves a bloody trail of murder and mayhem across three states in their route to Blewer. Soon Jack and Anna are drawn to each other along with David who looks up to Jack as a father figure. Both are reluctant to acknowledge their feelings until a dramatic incident takes place. Unspeakable, starts slowly but kicks into high gear in the last half. It is one of Brownâs early attempts to shift from romance novels to mystery thrillers. The story is violent and bloody. Brown, as always, weaves a plot that keeps the reader on edge. She has written a successful novel that will keep you turning pages to the end. Speaking of the end, I always enjoy Brownâs endings, she leaves nothing to question. I give Unspeakable a 4-star rating. I enjoyed the book.

Unspeakable.....A Must Read!

Unspeakable was great!! The descriptions of the settings and the development of the characters were strong. The plot was not predictable! I attempted to figure it out several times, but I was wrong. A twist at the end left me rethinking certain parts of the book looking for the foreshadowing, which I obviously missed. Overall, if you are looking for a good book which is hard to put down, then you need to read Unspeakable!

A mystery within a mystery!

I read this book before I read the reviews, and I felt that many of them were unfair. This book has many layers of mystery, all woven together, combined with a quiet romance holding the story together.

Good, Fast Paced Story

I enjoyed the pace of the book. The story was interesting, fast paced, and the main characters are sympathetic. There were twists and turns that kept my attention, while not getting bogged down in minute details.

Though not as good as his Swyteck series, this book is an entertaining read.

Five Stars

I loved it. Kept me reading

"Found Money"

What would you do if you received [money] in the mail and had no idea who sent it or, if your dying father tells you he has [money] hidden in the attic? That's what happens to Amy Parkens and Ryan Duffy who are eventually brought together and search high and low to find the answers to their questions. Little do they know that they're about to become involved in something they never dreamed would happen to them. "FOUND MONEY" is an excellent story of suspense that keeps the reader on his toes. It's got blackmail, murder and just about everything that's needed in a good thriller. I've just recently started reading James Grippando's novels and find them all to be great. As a result, he's been added to my list of favorites. Do yourself a favor and read this book!

Engrossing! Twists and turns throughout the story.

amazing plot development with just enough detail to paint pictures in your mind. interesting characters,so many twists and turns to keep you on edge. Gripping has become one of my new favorite authors. I will be reading more of his work.

Great book!

Very good book! I thoroughly enjoyed this story. I bought 4 of his books and took 3 of them on a vacation and finished all 3! He is an excellent storyteller!

Title: Reaper

Author: Ben Mezrich

Narrator: Stephen Lang

Language: English

Release date: 12-16-99

Publisher: HarperAudio

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 6 votes

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense

Publisher's Summary:

This first novel from Ben Mezrich draws on the latest medical and technological research to deliver an utterly believable tale of suspense.

Critic Reviews:

"Like Crichton, Mezrich knows how to weave...a fast-paced story that's...irresistible." (People)

Members Reviews:

Not to miss story.

Excellent.

Just okay, at best--and that, along with the two-star rating, is being generous

If there's such a thing as a soap-operatic thriller, REAPER defines it. Every major character has some kind of "emotional scarring" in his and her past that haunts him and her in the story's present. And like many soap opera figures, the ones in the book are largely stereotypes.

The scientific and medical explanations go on too long and many are incomprehensible unless one is a computer expert or an M.D. Even some of the "simplified" explanations seemed abstract--at least, to this reader. (And, as at least one other reviewer has pointed out, sometimes contained contradictions.)

The book feels padded in many places, the author being fond of descriptions that are too detailed, add nothing but unnecessary verbiage, and slow the story's forward movement.

There are moments throughout, but especially during the climactic chapters, that are pure Hollywood--and that's not a compliment. I'm referring to the kind of improbability we saw in "Fatal Attraction," when Glenn Close is apparently drowned but manages to spring back to murderous life a moment later. Or "Face-Off," where hero and villain slug it out on a boat which hits a barrier, flinging both of them violently onto the beach where they miraculously have the stamina to jump up and continue their battle. In other words, sheer unbelievable hokiness.

And then there's the ambiguous final sentence....

There are far better thrillers out there, so my advice is to skip this one.

Awful

This may have been the worst book that I have ever finished reading. So it's not absolutely horrible at least, or I would have thrown it away.

Within the first five pages, I began to think.. HEY! This book is ripping off an awful movie I saw a few years ago. And then I realized that the awful movie was actually based on this awful book. The movie I believe was called Fatal Error. Yes, it was made-for-TV, or someone might have put some extra thought into the title.

Anyway, as for the book:

On page 93, we have "In this room alone there are probably fifty million rhinoviruses floating through the air, clinging to every surface, being inhaled into our lungs. Rhinoviruses are everywhere"

On page 140 we have "Rhinoviruses aren't airbourne. They can live only in the cells that inhabit the mouth and nose." and "They can't be carried on breath, or by wind, or by ventilation".

I came CLOSE to throwing this away after the contradiction, but no. I kept on reading.

Some time later, this book became one of the few I've read that I would have to use a "sic" when quoting. Specifically the sentence about a person having trouble "trying to breath" (sic lol). I'm fairly sure there was at least one other silly instance like this but I don't recall it specifically.

Finally toward the end, just as I began to feel a little bit of tension, the author interjects three pages of his third grade "What I Did For My Summer Vacation" paper on the Smithsonian. Seriously.

The Aparting

This was a good book.I thought it was interesting to be in the mind of an OCD Psychopthic teenager.His kidnappers are in for the time of their lives!James Simenc does a nice job narrating.I was given this book free for an honest review.

Creepy being in the mind of a not so sane guy.

I received this book for free for an honest and unbiased review of the book

This book had me from word one. The narrator was perfect for this book, he did a great job making our main character sound as unstable as he is.

Worth a credit -- yes

Happy Reading/Listening!!!

In the head of a psycho

When I first started this short story I wasnt really sure what to make of it. We are inside the main characters head as he makes his way to the bathroom, leaving me with the impression that he was Autistic or had Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). During this trip he gets kidnapped for ransomstill doesnt seem much right? Well, holy crapwhen the synopsis say a psychotic mental condition, they were friggin right. I sure didnt expect that.

Same as before, this is a short story leaving the description of my thoughts very short. Howard really gets us inside this psychopaths head, but be warned, you will probably end up feeling sorry for him as well. This is one of those short stories that I wished was a little bit longer so we could have dived in a little bit more. James Simenc did a great job with narration, but I think it could have been more expressive once the psychotic break happens. However, by this time you are already invested to the end. This is another short story that I will dive back into.

They have no idea what they're in for!

Ethan is an odd teen. He likes to count his steps between places and his social skills arent up to par. However, Ethans dad is a doctor. A group of kidnappers think they will get decent ransom money for Ethan. But Ethan has a secret, one that could kill.

This is an interesting short story. At first, I wasnt sure I would like the inner monologue as the primary mode of getting info to the readers, but I quickly fell into step with it and enjoyed it. Ethan is a bit naive, and he wants to believe his kidnappers when they say they dont plan to harm him and that hell be back home soon. But as the pressure mounts and Ethan goes longer and longer without his daily medication, a shift happens inside Ethans head.

Publisher's Summary:

From the author of the critically acclaimed cult novel Anonymous, comes a dark, psychological, suspenseful thriller about love and loss.

Meet Jeffrey.

Jeffrey is turning 40. He has a good job, a loving wife, and a beautiful house. When the love of his life passes suddenly, his seemingly normal world turns upside down.

The sudden death, along with his midlife crisis, causes Jeffrey to grieve the five stages in unnatural ways. He trades in his Toyota Corolla for a Corvette, smokes pot with the neighbor kid, and dresses up in cheerleader outfits with his pals William and Lena in order to feel young and beautiful.

William and Lena agree to do whatever it takes to help Jeffrey during his grief, even when it means committing minor crimes such as burglary.

All is kosher until William notices a downward change in Jeffrey. Distraught by memories of his wife, and despite William's and Lena's best efforts, Jeffrey begins to slowly derail into a dark place that only he could get out of. An internal battle with his emotions and himself, Jeffrey takes matters into his own hands to pull through.

Drama Dolls is an intimate, dark, psychological, suspenseful thriller about loss and obsession, survival and grief, and the desiring need to take control of your own life.

Members Reviews:

An unusual and fascinating story

A strange but fascinating book. Drama Dolls is a very well written story dealing with the unusual way a middle aged man, Jeffrey, tries to deal with the death of his wife, and the slow devolution of his psyche. It is poignant and thought provoking, not only dealing with the strange and detrimental effects that grief can have on an individual, but also with themes of friendship, acceptance, depression, intolerance and deviations from the norm. Dressing as teenage cheerleaders and hiding behind makeup and masks, the middle aged adults, Jeffery, William and Lena assume their Drama Doll alter egos and rob houses, all as a means of coping with their emotional pain. I wasn't sure if I would like this book, as it is very different to what I would normally listen to and a bit confusing initially as to which alter ego belonged to which character, but the captivating writing, dark humour and surprising twists got me hooked. The narration fits the book perfectly, Kruse's voice draws you into the characters and allows you to feel their pain. All in all this was an unusual, heart wrenching story with more than a few surprises.

This is definitely a dark story

Not sure where to start with this review as I'm still processing this booklong after I have finished it.I am finding it difficult to write this mostly because it was an extremely intense listen.This does not mean that I didn't enjoy every minute of this book.This is definitely a dark story that starts off a little confusing as you try to digest which charactergoes withwhich alter ego, but once it gets going youbecomepart of the insanity. The charactersdress up as drama dolls (cheerleaders) to commit crimes andalso to feel beautiful while committing these actions. As much as I say that I cannot relate to the characters' actions, in contrast, their feelings are very real and you will experience andbe influenced by every emotion during this story. The author does a fantastic job with the maincharacter Jeffery, who definitely has the most intense story in this book as the story starts off after he recently lost hiswife.

Publisher's Summary:

A magical book wreaks havoc on a luxury yacht....

The team saves on flight costs as the newest mystery happens around the corner. A tip from a local antiquarian doesn't make it to the team in time, and they are left with a once-bookstore-now-rubble pile, a missing magical tome, and very few clues beyond a helpful tour guide (one might even say too helpful). Tracking the missing book to a luxury yacht, the team gets less of the high-end boating experience and more of the demon-on-the-loose nightmare. All aboard the Fair Weather, but no smooth sailing ahead.

This episode is brought to you by team writer Margaret Dunlap and introduces listeners (and our heroine) not only to the true dangers of bookburning but to mysterious secrets even cloudier than the Societas Librium Occultorum.

Critic Reviews:

"Bookburners is an exciting new take on urban fantasy. Love the premise, love the characters, love the unique (and sometimes wonderfully disturbing) spin on the dangers of magic!" (Cassandra Rose Clarke, author of

The Assassins Curse)

"Bookburners has everything I want from episodic storytelling - strong writing, a rich premise, and memorable characters that will keep me coming back week after week." (Mike Underwood, author of the Ree Reyes Geekomancy series)

Members Reviews:

Not worth the price of admission

Neither the characters nor the plot of this third installment were interesting enough to keep me following the series. Retread of Warehouse 13 without the fun snarkiness.
