Fun Combination

The biggest story in this collection is a "lost" Sherlock Holmes story. it was written in the style of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and is a plausible Sherlock story. The other stories are varied, They run the gamut of earthly vs alternate reality. They are really fun. I especially liked the Egypt story. I feel like you need to really like multiple genre. Be open to different types of stories. That is what I really appreciate about Warren Fahy. He has the ability to write in different ways, so you sort of get multiple writers in one. He is able to transport you quickly into the world of the particular story so you aren't wondering what the heck is going on. The fun in any Sherlock story is to work with him to figure out whodunnit and why and this story has that. The crazy lady story makes you think, what the heck is her deal? Also fun. So I ramble, but if you truly appreciate getting multiple genre in one book, go for this, it is really fun, and what a great price! After you appreciate the uniqueness of these stories, be bold, check out his other works. I love Fragment and Pandemonium but Escaping America is super cool. He also has a couple other books that are also good. Check them out.

Sherlock Holmes lives!

Warren Fahy has an extraordinary knack for capturing Arthur Conan Doyle's voice, feel, tone, inventiveness and characterization. We all who loved the original stories and admired the world's greatest sleuth's uncanny powers of deduction can greet with enthusiasm "The Haunting of Sherlock Holmes" as crafted by Fahy. Authentic in every detail, it's written with a master's quill dipped carefully into blue-black ink. Dealing with mentally deranged evildoers challenges even Holmes' superior mind. The denouement is delicious and ties a multiple plot twist into a handsome bow. One can only hope that Fahy will someday produce another Holmesian cocktail.

Don't be fooled to thinking this is a collection of Sherlock Holmes stories

This is not a collection of Sherlock Holmes pastiches. This is *one* Sherlock Holmes pastiche followed by a handful of fantasy short stories.

I laughed most of the way through the Sherlock Holmes story. It was quite clear that these were not the people written about by Conan Doyle but rather those portrayed by Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce and a bit over the top for them. Holmes spends an awfully long time babbling rather than deducing. Watson is bumbling and exclaiming amazement. The "action" is worthy of the Three Stooges. The "mystery" is very elementary. The author also makes a few factual errors. (For example: The book refers to the Irregulars having a bag of "shiny new tuppences." There was no "tuppence" - two-pence - half-groat - coin in circulation in Holmes' day.

A mystery like Clue

I enjoyed the narration and story. I think the title could have been something else. The main story evolved into another story which was kind of like Clue. I guessed the killer incorrectly. It was a good mystery. The narrator did a great job on all the characters.

Publisher's Summary:

Pearl receives a surprise present from her mother, Dolly: an early summer break at a riverside manor house that has been recently transformed into an exclusive hotel - the newly named Villa Pellegrini. Pellegrini - the Italian word for pilgrims - reflects the fact that the building lies on the old Pilgrims Way into Canterbury, and Pearl is looking forward to the break, not least because DCI Mike McGuire has been neglecting her due to his work. But when she discovers that she's actually booked in for a cookery course from the Italian celebrity chef Nico Caruso, she begins to think again.... Pearl doesn't welcome instruction on cookery at the best of times, and certainly not from an arrogant chef like Caruso.

She goes along, intent on challenging Caruso's egotism - and a long tradition of men dominating gastronomy - but soon finds herself distracted, not only by her enchanting surroundings but by the disparate selection of guests. She even begins to enjoy Caruso's attentions - and his cookery - until one of the guests goes missing and it becomes clear that murder is on the menu.

Members Reviews:

Disappointing narration

Sadly this narrator has failed to capture the characteristics of the lead roles established in the earlier recordings. Mcguire has been reduced to sounding oafish and dim and Dolly has become a home counties matron and no longer a bohemian free spirit. At times the narration is so stilted as to sound synthesized. Sorry, but this has just made listening no longer quite the pleasure it once was

Disappointing

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

A better plot and narrator

If youve listened to books by Julie Wassmer before, how does this one compare?

I loved the first three books, this one was not in the same league. I found it tiring and insulting that she went into explanations about how forensics worked. It was padding.

What didnt you like about Willow Nashs performance?

The main problem was her characterizations of Dolly and Inspector McGuire. Compared to the first three readings the voice characterisation was all wrong Dolly was too posh and Mike McGuire sounded a complete moron. Not the tall Swedish looking handsome character I had in my mind. The reading was robotic at times as well

You didnt love this book--but did it have any redeeming qualities?

Apart from moving the story on between the main two characters, no.

Any additional comments?

A better story line and please bring back Jenna Russell.

Mechanical delivery

The story was the mixture of puzzle and personality that characterises this series. The narration was lacking in tone and variation, appearing to have been recorded to the beat of a metronome and with little regard to the natural speech rhythms or written punctuation.

Missed opportunity

Disappointing instalment that focuses on lovelorn yearning. We, like the insipid characters, are trapped inside a country house where nothing much happens. The local detail which gave previous books their originality is lacking, which is a missed opportunity given Chartham's former asylum.

But lends itself to a fine drinking game with a shot for every mention of 'Whitstable' or 'Oyster'.

You won't be disappointed

Julie Wassmer does it again with her latest instalment of Pearl and Co. I thoroughly enjoyed this story, good narration from Ms. Nash. Pearl leaves her beloved Whitstable in her latest adventure.

Publisher's Summary:

Anton Jax - Ajax Clean, to those who know - is a professional cleaner. As in cleaner for the mob. Bloodstains on your shirt? No problem. Fingerprints and DNA evidence all over the crime scene, enough to put you away forever? For the right price, Clean will make it all go away.

But now someone wants to make Ajax Clean go away.

His instincts told him the job was too good to be true. He should have trusted them. Two dead bodies, trace evidence pointing to him everywhere, and those sirens he hears in the distance?

Yeah, coming for him.

On the run, Clean will have to take help where he can get it; from a half-crazed voodoo hitman, a retired homicide detective, and the beautiful young medical examiner Clean is desperately trying to protect. All he has to do now is survive long enough to clear his name, get some payback, and maybe, if he's lucky, make a clean exit.

Excellent Thriller

Any additional comments?

What a great series by J Kent Holloway! Ajax Clean is an intriguing character, as I couldn't decide how I felt about him. By the end of the story I was definitely a fan. The characters and settings in the book were so descriptive that it was easy to get lost in the story. I loved the constant humor, and that it was balanced out by some intense scenes. This was my second time with this book, a Ii listened to the story this time. My rating is still 5 stars, and I actually enjoyed this book more the second time around. The audiobook was very well done and I greatly enjoyed it. The narrator did a wonderful job of matching voices to the personalities of the characters in the story and it was very entertaining. This is such a good book, and I am still waiting for the next installment in the series!

Members Reviews:

Another good Alex Gray book

I have grown fond of the characters in this series of books. The thoughtful inspector and the 'good and bad' people of Glasgow spill of the pages and encourage some reflection in this reader.

The narration compliments the story, well chosen artist I hope to hear more of him and hope for yet another Lorimer story to spill from Gray's pen/keyboard?.

Still dark

I really enjoyed this book interesting characters and a good story I will look out for more from this author

fab book

and another fantastic book by this aurther a griping and exicting lision looking forward to the next one

A very enjoyable book

William Lorimer is one of my favourite detectives, he feels like an old friend and I enjoyed this book very much. All the main characters are well developed and believable which helps to involve the reader in the plot. I felt involved in the plot from start to finish and I felt very sorry when the book came to an end. I will certainly read this book again in the future.

A good story

I quite enjoyed this book, but I did find it very slow moving. The story was overall good and the narration is fine - I can't really put my finger on why I wasn't blown away. It was all a little lack lustre.

Publisher's Summary:

When a young girl is discovered dead on an isolated Irish country road, it seems to be a simple hit and run. Then the cops see the tattoo on her back - a pair of beautifully wrought angel wings. Forensic investigator Reilly Steel is soon on the scene and she suspects that there is more to this case than a straightforward murder. Then the angel tattoo is traced to other children - both dead and alive - who are all similarly marked....

Members Reviews:

Irish Legend in a Modern Mystery

Excellent story blended the present with folklore of the Irish. Reilly Steel is a forensic expert, trained in the United States, but now working in Dublin, Ireland. When a hit and run is reported, it turns into a major case as the girl who is dead is pregnant and has angel wings tattooed on her back. Although a Jane Doe, a little footwork turns up a tie in to a previous death with angel wings and both dead girls are redheaded and unidentified. This case turns into child abduction and an attempt by the abductor to create a paradise for children to mimic an old Irish legend. Well conceived story line will keep you up at night because each short chapter is a cliffhanger that says "read on." The Reilly Hill series is becoming one of my favorites.

Fairytales Can Come True

Irish lore and love of children play an important part in this story, but so too does the global passion for murder.

Five Stars

Loved it kept moving no stalls

Four Stars

Nice read

Hidden

This book moved a little slower then the two before it,still great read though.wish Reilly could see Chris in a more romantic way.now on to book 4

Frckn Awesome.

An entertaining read. fascinating characters, interesting bad guys, and a fabulous punk group. I highly recommend PAP.

Bang your Head. A wild ride with PAP

What was one of the most memorable moments of Punk Ass Punk?

The test they had once they thought it was all over

What does Jack Wallen bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?

He is a master of voice, clear ,precise and he doesn't need the annoying bells, whistle and too loud music sound effects to tell a riveting story. All he needs is his voice.

Any additional comments?

Rommy a 90 something yr old frail looking lady is the second in charge, but she is one tough Bird.

The bands new handler is Zed and Zeds mescal Torgo. Torgo is am man of few words.

They feel there must be a mistake, they have railed against "The man" for most of their lives. They are dammed if they do and dammed if they don't.

This is an entertaining book, by the master himself Jack Wallen. Mr.Wallen is too good at writing about the underworld and the seedy side of the populous. He has the Punk ti a T. The character's are believable and the various exchanges are as well. Just when they think they are in the clear, they will be tested to their breaking point. Pick up your copy today

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense

Publisher's Summary:

Part love story, part mystery, The Possessions is a sensuous, scary and utterly thrilling debut. Who will prevail - the woman or the ghost? For five years Edie has worked for the Elysian Society, a secretive organisation that provides a very specialised service: its clients come to reconnect with their dead loved ones by channelling them through living 'Bodies'. Edie is one such Body, perhaps the best in the team, renowned for her professionalism and discretion. But everything changes when Patrick, a distraught husband, comes to look for traces of his drowned wife in Edie. The more time that Edie spends as the glamorous, enigmatic Sylvia, the closer she comes to falling in love with Patrick. And the more mysterious the circumstances around Sylvia's death appear. As Edie falls under Sylvia's spell, she must discover not only the couple's darkest secrets but also her own long-buried memories and desires - before it's too late.

Members Reviews:

Sara Flannery Murphy's first novel The Possessions is a haunting mix of love and loss and grief and desire. It is also about the happiness that comes from human connection. Echoes of lost loves and lost opportunities resonate throughout the book. A mix of genres including suspense, dystopian, mystery, psychological thriller and the supernatural, Murphy's writing style and especially her protagonist, Edie, remind me of Shirley Jackson at her finest. I highly recommend it.

Eerily Different

To what depth the author's psyche was as she wrote this, I'm not about to guess. I can only assume that she may have either been privy to others, or experienced some of her own, hurtful circumstances.

I found this story very intriguing, and although many times I found it difficult to read for reasons I'll mention later, I also wished to see what was waiting around the next corner.

I'm guessing this story was not easy to write, trying to capture characters in a unique way and make them umderstandable for the reader. And that is where some of my difficulty in reading this came in. At times I found it difficult to know which character I should be feeling/identifying with. I think you will only know what I'm talking about if you read this book. Also, when the author goes about giving her descriptions of either scenery or interactions, I find them both purely wonderful but also sometimes clumsy and difficult to picture. I know I spent a fair amount of time trying to understand the imagery she was describing. I also wondered, even questioned the words she at times chose for that imagery-some didn't seem right or make sense to me.

But overall, I give the book 4 stars, mostly for its uniqueness, and also for her descriptions, even though it did take me time to get used to her imagery.

Lastly, I would have enjoyed a different ending. To me it seemed as though the major body of the text may have been so tedious to write that the ending was simplified.

Slow Creepy Romantic Thriller Book.

Our narrator works as a body, able to channel the presence of a dead person, for their loved ones, and create a moment of conversation. She channels a deceased wife, and thereby falls for the living husband. She is immediately obsessed.

Ratings: 3 of 5 out of 2 votes

Publisher's Summary:

The Second Chance is a suspenseful tale of kidnapping, corporate espionage, and forgotten love that takes the listener from the red dirt roads of Alabama to the silver mines of Mexico.

A deadly mine cave-in at Real de Catorce, Mexico, changes Patricia Morelos' life forever. The disaster she faces as owner of the mine is overshadowed by personal tragedy. Her only child, 17-year-old Max, is kidnapped when he goes to help the victims. Desperate to reach her son, who is somewhere in the San Luiz Potosi Mountains, Patricia turns to her late husband's stepbrother, Miguel Ramirez, whom she once loved but now fears and distrusts. With Miguel, Patricia sets out on her journey of discovery, danger, and confession. Pursued, shot at, conspired against, and abetted by her blind friend and a lost love, Patricia confronts the secrets of her past along her treacherous journey and finds not one miracle but two.

Members Reviews:

The Second Milagro

This plot-driven tale is a wild ride--as action-oriented as the cover of the book. The author has done her homework (and her heart work, too) as her protagonist pursues her heart's desire across the continent. From the most humble of beginnings, Patricia Morelos learns that fear is just another four-letter word. The story celebrates strong women and macho men and the spontaneous combustion that happens when they clash. One miracle is nice, but a second is phenomenal.

The Second Milagro by Linda Rainwater

THE SECOND MILAGRO is not just a story about miracles. Rather, it is about how the courage and perseverance of Patricia Morelos help make miracles come true. Not many women would be able to stand up to the corrupt officials and the outright enemies that Patricia has to outwit. Few will experience the devotion of a friend like that of the intrepid, blind Rachel. Some of the real surprises in this book are the flashbacks to Patricia's early life in Alabama where we learn what made her so tough, and later, her meteoric rise in her husband's empire. The dialogue is so real that whether you are in a diner in Talladega, AL., or a board meeting in Mexico, the words ring true. The book also brings to life the history and culture of Mexico in such a way that they are an integral and necessary part of the story. The twists and turns of the journey Patricia and Rachel take into the ancient city of Real de Catorce keep the reader turning the pages quickly. We all want to know, "What is the 'second' milagro?"

beautifully written!

This is not only an exquisitely written book filled with spot-on dialogue -- it has a highly cinematic sensibility and would translate well to cinema. They say there is a scarcity of strong, well-developed roles for women in film; well, here, in Patricia Morelos, is one that is most definitely Oscar caliber. I had the privilege of meeting the writer at a conference recently and, like everyone else in the group, was stunned by her abilities as a writer and born ranconteur. (Linda is also an amazing painter as well!) It is quite difficult for a writer to create such an intricate, tightly woven plot that flows organically and Linda has done it here. The vivid descriptions of Mexico make the reader feel as though they are really on this journey along with the characters.
