Publisher's Summary:

It's summer in Paris, and two tourists have been murdered in Père Lachaise cemetery in front of Jim Morrison's grave. The cemetery is locked down and put under surveillance, but the killer returns, flitting in and out like a ghost, and breaks into the crypt of a long-dead Moulin Rouge dancer. In a bizarre twist, he disappears under the cover of night with part of her skeleton.

One of the dead tourists is an American and the other is a woman linked to a suspected terrorist; so the US ambassador sends his best man and the embassy's head of security - Hugo Marston - to help the French police with their investigation.

When the thief breaks into another crypt at a different cemetery, stealing bones from a second famed dancer, Hugo is stumped. How does this killer operate unseen? And why is he stealing the bones of once-famous can-can girls?

Hugo cracks the secrets of the graveyards but soon realizes that old bones aren't all this killer wants...

Critic Reviews:

"The clever antagonist leads [Marston] on a merry chase that will keep the reader entertained throughout." (RT Book Reviews)

Great chases!

murder, law-enforcement, paris, madness, serial-killer, audiobook

Hugo Marston is an exceptional investigator with a complicated past, as is his old friend Tom, and then there are Capitale Raul Garcia and reporter Claudia. They work kind of together to solve some really difficult but overlapping cases, including Tom's worsening alcoholism. The main thing is identifying and stopping a madman with a horrible agenda. Very well done!

Todd McLaren is the excellent narrator for this series.

Digger is the latest from Robert D. Calkins in the Sierra the Search Dog series of books for all ages.

Bryce and Sierra continue to be one step behind whoever is dumping bodies, and one step ahead of detectives from their local sheriff's office. As the body count grows, Bryce risks his career, and eventually his life, to unravel the case of the Chimera Killer.

Along the way Bryce meets and nearly loses his first love, and learns the manly art of saying "yes, dear" at all the right times.

Members Reviews:

Who Dunnit Sierra??

I really like this story of Sierra and Bryce it develop nicely it's not overly detailed at the same time it has lots of twists. the narration is a teeny bit robotic but I got used to it after a while and it did not hurt the story. I'm looking forward to another story with Sierra and Bryce.

need to get better narrator

I almost returned this book because the narrator was horrible. But story was good. He had no feeling when reading and no voice changes for characters and no pauses so couldn't tell when her went to next paragraph. He was horrible.

Reader/Story mismatch

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

I enjoyed the story but the reader nearly ruined it for me. No matter how low I turned the volume it sounded like he was shouting in my ears. In addition he didn't use any inflections or voice changes to distinguish the characters, which was fine, except he ran the sentences together and it was often difficult to tell who was speaking. He also didn't pause between abrupt scene changes making it momentarily confusing and distracting.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Sierra, I'm dog crazy and I love to learn about working dogs.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

As above as well as sounding like he was reading to very young children. This book seems aimed at teens and above yet I was insulted with the attitude that came across. I love children's stories and have listened to many over the years and have never experienced this feeling of being talked down to before. If the story hadn't held my interest I wouldn't have finished it.

Do you think Digger needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

The author indicated it was a series and I look forward to further adventures in dog rescue and crime solving but if it's the same reader I'll be downloading them to my e-reader not listening.

The Best Working Dog Mystery I've Listened To

Great dog adventure book, with lots of accurate dog handling insights weaved into the story. It is a book with a lot of heart. I will read all the Sierra Search Dog books available.

A great introduction to working dogs

A great plot line. Things get thicker as the story progresses. It is also a lot of fun to hear about how the working dogs do their jobs.

Members Reviews:

Good story

This is the second book I have read by this author, she spins words into a great story. You are captivated with the characters and where the story is going. Love how this story played out, though giving Robert, Denny' s father a kick in the butt would not be out of line. Cannot wait to read more on Fina and her band of crime solvers.

Yes!

This was a well-written book with loads of interesting characters (the secondary characters were also tops!) and a good plot. The plot was just a bit transparent - the readers know where the author is heading - but it was still an enjoyable ride. This was the second book in this series that I've read and I plan to keep reading. I strongly recommend the series.

A disappointment

I was looking forward to this book, but ultimately was really disappointed. There wasn't a single attractive character, including the PI who flits in and out. I am a conversation reader, and this book had very little, and had lots of prose. The kidnap victim is a brat, her mom is a witch, and the villain is a broken man. That said, I pushed it to 20%, but no improvement in sight. This book reminded me of British novels, not books by an American author. Perhaps her other books are better, and I will attempt another one if it comes along.

A different kind of? Mystery

I really enjoyed this mystery written in first person paragraphs. It's been a long time since I've read a book like this.

The mystery was exciting with several answers revealed in the last chapters.

Good Read

This is the second Fina's book I read & I like her. She is a real snoop with some kind of 6th sense. She is very human with all their imperfections but cares about people. Will not mind reading more Fina's stories.

Members Reviews:

Excellent political thriller

Harvard Law grad Lis Wiehl has become a darned good author of suspense thrillers. Top reporter Erica Sparks is covering the Democratic Party presidential campaign in this book. Just read the publisher's summary and then listen to this outstanding novel. Devon O'Day's narration is pitch perfect. This is only my second Lis Wiehl novel, but I will listen to others. Recommended! 4.5 stars.

Good Book

I really enjoyed the book.The only thing I would change, is, I feel that two people should have narrated the book. Sometimes it was a little confusing on what character was speaking with just one person narrating.

Pretty clean, well written story. Not Christian fiction?

Great story line. Good suspense.

Not too edifying, I enjoy Christian fiction and this isn't that.

The story is intriguing and there's the enjoyable splash of romance coupled with real life drama.

Honestly I felt a bit dirty when finished with this book, I miss the positive message of Christian fiction.

The book had one swear word (not a big deal I guess)? And a lay women pastor preforming the main characters wedding, but generally just devoid of any deeper Christian message, just one great story with one great women hero saving the world without the need of anyone or mainly, God.

Loved it, hard to put down...a must read

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

Yes, easy to follow

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

Afraid in this crazy world this could happen.

What does Devon O'Day bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?

You felt like you could see what was going on. I had to sit in my car a few times and just listen to the story.

Any additional comments?

Waiting for the follow up to the story.

The worst audio book I have ever listened to.

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

There is no way it could have been a better experience because it was so poorly written. It has a loose "Manchurian Candidate" type theme to it, but it was so poorly executed that it was cringe worthy. Bad character development, inept attempts at dialogue, metaphors that didn't make sense, action scenes that were amateurishly described and ludicrously unbelievable.

Sarah Booth Delaney knows the perfect way to begin recovering from both the recent attack on Scott Hampton's blues club and her broken heart.

But one bitterly cold night, with the holiday just around the corner, Sarah Booth awakens to the insistent ring of her doorbell. She opens the door to find a newborn baby in a basket sitting on her front porch - and a pool of blood slowly seeping out from the basket. Before she can respond, an engine guns, and a dark vehicle takes off.

After the police and a doctor ensure the baby is otherwise safe and healthy, Sarah Booth calls Tinkie Richmond, her partner at the Delaney Detective Agency. They know they need to do everything they can to find the baby's mother...even if they are starting to fall in love with the baby themselves. But as they track the baby's mother, Sarah Booth soon begins to suspect the woman might have been in danger; in fact she might have been running for her life. And following in the woman's footsteps, Sarah Booth might find her own life on the line next.

Members Reviews:

Another good hit

This was one of the best 'Bone" books yet! way to go Ms Haines! There were multiple plots and we'll developed characters to enjoy.

Love Sarah Booth books!

This was yet another great Sarah Booth Delaney book. Several plot twists made it very engaging.

Much better than the last couple books!

This book is much better than the last few which, to much silly romance and not very good mystery plot. Almost didn't get this one, but glad I did!

Jaine has been hired by uber-pushy stage mom Heather Van Sant to write lyrics for her daughter Taylor's song in the talent competition for the Miss Teen Queen America pageant. It's different from anything Jaine has done before, but if nothing else, she's looking forward to a free weekend in a swanky hotel and a chance to see what really goes on backstage at a beauty pageant.

But the hotel is a dump, the cattiness is out of control, and Candace - the perfectly coiffed, whip-cracking pageant director - is making even Jaine's life miserable. When Candace's assistant, Amy, is found bludgeoned to death with a silver tiara, there are more suspects than sequins on a pageant gown - and Heather is first on the list.

Members Reviews:

Give Jaine a break

I have enjoyed reading every book in this series. However, they are becoming tedious. Jaine's character needs to grow a backbone . She does stand up for herself, but, it doesn't happen until the end of the book. I want Jaine to have a happy ending, but not at the expense of every other character in the book. The mystery was simple and predictable. I hope the next book is better.

Members Reviews:

Mediocre

This book was a disappointment. The lead character, Abby, is immature and impulsive. She makes unrealistic decisions that put her life and others in jeopardy. The love interest is a typical superficial alpha male, Abby can't resist. Abby gets stuck on one suspect and ignores obvious clues. I found myself skipping ahead several times because Collins seemed to get stuck giving long winded descriptions over food or other unimportant distractions. There were lots of red herrings to make the mystery interesting, but it fell flat because of Abby's stupidity. The series has potential so I might check out the next book.

Publisher's Summary:

Wedding planner Kelsey McKenna is just a few hours away from wrapping up her latest job: a destination wedding in San Miguel de Allende. But just as the priest is about to pronounce the couple husband and wife, one of the bridesmaids collapses into a floral arrangement. Worst of all, Kelsey discovers that she hasn't just fainted - she's dead.

Mrs. Abernathy demands that Kelsey fix the matter, and although she's pretty sure investigating a murder isn't in her contract, crossing the well-connected mother of the bride could be a career killer. Before she can leave Mexico and get back to planning weddings, Kelsey must deal with stubborn detectives, another dead body, and a rekindled romance in this smart, funny, and cozy debut.

Members Reviews:

Well Written

This is an entertaining and well written cozy mystery. The characters and plot are engaging and interesting. I will read the next book in this series.

Creative murder at a wedding in Mexico

Kelsey McKenna works as a destination wedding planner in Terror in Taffeta by Marla Cooper, and she puts on a wedding in Mexico for a nice couple, Nicole and Vince, with a crazy, obsessive woman, Mrs. Abernathy, for the bride's mother. The morning of the wedding, the bridesmaids all have major hangovers from the bachelorette party they held the night before against the strong urging of Kelsey, who knows from prior experience that this is no way to spend the night before a wedding. Then, as the wedding is about to begin, Dana, a last minute addition bridesmaid who is not very popular with the other members of the wedding party, rushes off to vomit, delaying the start of the ceremony. But things get going smoothly, and Kelsey is happy to take a brief break before the reception. That is, until at the end of the ceremony, she hears a collective gasp and jumps up to see Dana fall over. Covering up the distress, Kelsey gets the guests out of the chapel before calling the paramedics, who declare Dana dead. But Mrs. Abernathy refuses to let Kelsey tell Nicole that her bridesmaid is dead because it would ruin the couple's special day.

As Kelsey and her best friend, photographer Brody, go to pack up Dana's room, they realize someone has searched through and trashed her room. Calling in the police, Kelsey is disturbed to learn that no one who hasn't already left Mexico will be allowed to go home because it now appears that Dana has been murdered. And then Zoe, the sister of the bride, gets arrested. Mrs. Abernathy orders Kelsey to take care of the situation, pointing out that her contract says she'll deal with any unforeseen situations that arise related to the wedding. Not happy to be relegated to dealing with these things, Kelsey still gets to work, all while fending off phone calls from the bride of the next wedding in two weeks.

This book is a great read, and I really enjoyed listening to it. Cooper creates a clever mystery in a unique setting with strong characters. I enjoyed getting to visit San Miguel de Allende with the wedding party. I enjoyed getting to experience the local spots with Evan, who once started a budding romance with Kelsey before quitting his job to move to Mexico to start a charter plane business. And the characters have strong details, especially the love-to-hate Mrs. Abernathy.

I really appreciate the audio narration of Romy Nordlinger. Her performance especially makes the book seem more realistic.

Cute

Much like the first book, just a cute little cozy. Nothing special, but a nice easy listen. Not memorable, but entertaining.
