Audio the way to go here!

I'm not from the South, but Erin Clark's Georgia accent brought the book alive for me; her Russian one was great, too! Story veered a bit into chick-lit territory for me at times, but overall I was busy getting into Cherry's sense of humor. I had wanted to know more about she and her siblings live with the grandfather, but enough was alluded to that I figure it can come out over time in future stories.

Terrible narration

Story made for a decent light and fluffy read but the narration was terrible. Pauses too long, pace too slow, didn't flow naturally the way a person would talk. Also too nasal, even for a good southern accent. I put it on 2X just to get through the book more quickly and found that the faster pace actually made the narration better. The narration made it difficult to gauge the quality of the story, but it had some scenes that I think would have been funny had they been read correctly, and it held my interest enough to make me want to check out the next one -- in print.

Great Southern Story

Would you listen to Portrait of a Dead Guy again? Why?

Oh yes I have enjoy the story and look forward to next one. I enjoy southern stories.

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

Yes it did and I actually enjoyed getting there it was nice to see the heroine was perfect made it better.

Which scene was your favorite?

When she almost lost it in the bar when Todd started singing about her. It was funny. Also all the hot scenes between her and Luke.

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

oh yes and I did

Any additional comments?

I really suggest you try this book. If you are looking for a good story and some humor.

Decent Story

The story was ok. But the narration lacked. She sounded monotone and every character sounded like an idiot.

The Worst!!

What disappointed you about Portrait of a Dead Guy?

The main character is weak. If she would have stood up for herself it would have been a better read.

Would you ever listen to anything by Larissa Reinhart again?

Probably not.

Members Reviews:

It was okay

I bought this book because I enjoyed the first 3 books in the series. They were funny, had recipes and involved a murder mystery. In this book, the mystery took a backseat to everything that happened. Chloe solves the murder but only because she overhears someone's conversation. This was more chick lit than a murder mystery. I'll read the next book, only because this one ended in a cliffhanger.

Another Bad Narrater

Would you try another book from Joanne Fluke and/or Tony Ward?

I cannot listen to this story because of Tony Ward. I wish I could return it and get my credit. I will be listening to samples before I BUY( I HATE BUYING) another book. Whoever screened this audio should be FIRED!!!!!!!!!!!

What could Joanne Fluke have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

Listened to the audio before being released.

Would you be willing to try another one of Tony Wards performances?

I cannot listen to this story because of Tony Ward. I wish I could return it and get my credit. I will be listening to samples before I BUY another book. Whoever screened this audio should be FIRED!!!!!!!!!!!

What character would you cut from Video Kill?

The narrarter!

Again, a Joanne Fluke Disappointment!

Would you ever listen to anything by Joanne Fluke again?

We will gladly go back to Joanne Fluke's, Hannah Swenson light mysteries. We will not try another one of her books.

Any additional comments?

We made the mistake of buying both this book and Fluke's other 'non-Hannah Swenson' book at the same time. We had hoped that we would enjoy another light mystery. We do not enjoy listening to bad language or such dark themes. We used our credits unwisely and will not do that again.

Title: Children of the Revolution

Subtitle: A DCI Banks mystery

Author: Peter Robinson

Narrator: Simon Slater

Format: Unabridged

Length: 12 hrs and 59 mins

Language: English

Release date: 08-15-13

Publisher: Hodder & Stoughton

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 10 votes

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Modern Detective

Publisher's Summary:

A disgraced college lecturer is found murdered with 5,000 in his pocket on a disused railway line near his home. Since being dismissed from his job for sexual misconduct four years previously, he has been living a poverty-stricken and hermit-like existence in this isolated spot.

The suspects range from several individuals at the college where he used to teach to a woman who knew the victim back in the early '70s at Essex University, then a hotbed of political activism. When Banks receives a warning to step away from the case, he realises there is much more to the mystery than meets the eye - for there are plenty more skeletons to come out of the closet.

The 21st novel in number one best-selling author Peter Robinson's critically acclaimed DCI Banks series.

Members Reviews:

A slow burner but gets you in the end!

Any additional comments?

I found that there was an unusually slow start to this book - to me it seemed to take some time getting off the ground. However, it was worth persevering as the plot eventually drew me in and made me want to get to the end.

Each of Robinson's books adds a little more dimension to the character of Banks and I like the way he manages to weave in compassion for victim - and sometimes 'villain' - in his narrative.

I'm less keen on the narrator as I find his style a little flat an lugubrious, with some frankly off inflections that I'd have thought would be better edited out.

Another disappointment from Mr Robinson

After his last DCI Banks book, which I found so boring that I did not finish it, I was hoping for something better but alas it was not to be. I ploughed through to the end but I did not enjoy the book.

Perhaps he has run out of plots for Eastvale but after "Bad Boy" and "Friend of the Devil" I had hoped for much better.

It may be time for a rest for DCI Banks until the creative juices begin again and more books like "Before the Poison" (excellent read) could be produced.

Disappointing

This started off pretty well and I was relieved as I have not listened to an Inspector Banks novel since the appalling 'Bad Boy'. I was pleased to hear the return of Banks and his team, and the plot - the murder of a college lecturer- sounded promising. Although, as with all Robinson's work, the quality of the writing is good, the narration is fairly monotonous and the plot moves far too slowly. As I wasn't gripped by it this became a very disjointed, confused listen. I really wanted to enjoy the work of one of my once favourite crime writers but unfortunately this does not live up to expectations or the pre 'Bad Boy' Robinson novels.

glad it's over

this was a real struggle to finish. the story was very thin and quite boring.

Not His Best

Listened to most Peter Robinson books. This one in my opinion is far to long and drifts off with long passages which have no relevance to the story. Not his best. Better perhaps in abridged form. However the narrator

Is good.

When 17-year-old Katherine McCall awakened one morning to find her beloved sister, Sara, brutally murdered, her whole life changed in the blink of an eye. Kat was named the prime suspect and, on a string of circumstantial evidence, charged and tried. While the jury found her innocent, not everyone else agreed, and her only choice was to go into hiding. But she carried a dark secret with her, one that made her worry she might actually have had something to do with Saras death....

Now, years later, Kat is still haunted by her sisters unsolved murder and continues to receive chilling anonymous letters, but she has tried to move on with her life. Until, on the 10th anniversary of Saras death, she receives a letter that makes the past impossible to ignore: "What about justice for Sara?" What about justice for Sara? And for herself? Kat realizes that going back to Liberty, Louisiana, might be the only way to move forward and find some peace. And theres a killer out there who was never caught.

But the town shes come back to is hardly different from the one she left. The secrets and suspicions still run deep. Kat has an ally in Detective Luke Tanner, son of the former Liberty police chief, but he may be her only one. With plenty of enemies, no one to trust and a killer determined to keep a dark secret buried, Kat must decide if justice is worth fighting - and dying - for.

Best-selling author Erica Spindler returns with a chilling new suspense novel about a woman who goes home 10 years after her sister's murder to find the true killer.

Members Reviews:

Great book!!

Erica Spindler is one of my favorite authors and this books just solidified my opinion of her writings!

Love this author! Great story as usual.

Would you consider the audio edition of Justice for Sara to be better than the print version?

Better as I can enjoy it in the car.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Justice for Sara?

Love the twists. I think I have it figured out and then I get a twist.

What does Tavia Gilbert bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?

Love the inflections.

Too much sappiness.

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

Probably if they like romances. If they prefer straight good story and mystery, without the sappy trembling female, no.

What did you like best about this story?

The story was compelling in that there were so many suspects, I wanted to find out which one did it. I really like Erica Spindler's mysteries and was excited that she had a new one out. Therefore, the disappointment was that she seemed to be back to her romance days, with the female victim/strong woman/always walking into the dark alley/talented/misunderstood/etc. There was a full cast of characters, all seeming to have as many motives as the crews in a Christie novel. That part was fun and I changed my mind frequently about who I expected to be the real perps.

What about Tavia Gilberts performance did you like?

I liked her portrayals of all the characters except the heroine. She "trembled" every time she talked or "fell into the arms" of her beau, who is, of course, the policeman. The trembles and creaky voices made Kat seem whiny and the opposite of a strong heroine.

Inside a maximum-security prison cell, Abby Maddox is serving 20 years for slashing Seattle PD officer Jerry Isaac's throat during the harrowing capture of her former lover, serial killer Ethan Wolfe.

With the help of intuitive criminology student Danny Mercy, Puget Sound State professor Sheila Tao, and seasoned detective Mike Torrance, Jerry must coax the shattering truth from isolated, dangerous Abby - before her number one fan takes another life in the name of a killer's perverted idea of justice.

Members Reviews:

Somewhat predictable

This is the only book I have listened to from Jennifer Hillier. I didn't listen to the first and found unless I wanted more of the back story to some of the characters I didn't need to. It stood on it's own. The book was entertaining and overall it kept my interest but it was somewhat predictable. I had figured out half way thru who was helping the killer achieve what she was trying to achieve. I found it somewhat irritating that the woman behind bars, 'Abby', was involved in several different relationships, with different sexes, who would virtually risk their jobs because of wanting to please her. So that had me at the 'oh geez' once or twice. The narrator is OK. She did her best to perform the book just found the male characters grating on my nerves but essentially I find most female narrators giving me that same reaction. Was good. I don't have any desire to listen to the first book tho. That might say something. So perhaps if you are looking to get into a series, you should start there.

A worthy follow-up to Creep.

Finished this in one sitting. Skilful focus shift in character development of some of the more minor characters introduced in 1st book. Very talented author and I would say the same for the narrator witj only one caveat - her voice when she portrays main character under stress sounds unnatural, almost infantile and grating. that said, she does the best job of cross-gender voice acting (does male and female voicesequally well) of ANY narrator I have ever heard.

It was over the top - and not in a good way.

The narrator has a good voice and was easy to listen to until doing the part of a man with a throat injury - I could barely stand when she talked with that voice. The story line was kind of okay until the sequence of events got out of control - so unrealistic, it lost me. I would not recommend.

Might not be able to finish this!

How could the performance have been better?

I just bought this and like the story line.

The narrator doing Jerry is soooooo irritating! A woman portraying a man with a throat/voice injury! I am trying to keep listening, I paid for it, I want to hear the story - hopefully his part gets smaller...

Really??

I was so into this book an I really really liked it, up until the very end!

I'm hoping that Mrs Hillier has a #3 in store for us!! But since it's a 2012 book doesn't look likely, though one can only hope...I just didn't like not knowing how it all ended up for everyone..

Title: Blessed Are Those Who Thirst

Subtitle: A Hanne Wilhelmsen Novel, Book 2

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Modern Detective

Publisher's Summary:

The second book in Edgar-nominated Anne Holts internationally best-selling mystery series featuring Detective Inspector Hanne Wilhelmsen, last seen in Blind Goddess.

It is only the beginning of May, but in Oslo a brutal heat wave has coincided with an alarming increase in violent crime. In the latest instance, police investigator Hanne Wilhelmsen is sent to a macabre crime scene on the outskirts of town. An abandoned shed is covered in blood. On one wall an eight-digit number is written in blood. There is no body - nor any sign of a victim. Is it a kids prank or foul play? Is it even human blood?

As more bloody numbers are found in isolated locations throughout Oslo, Hannes colleague Hkon Sand makes a startling discovery: The digits correspond to the filing numbers of foreign immigrants. All are female, all are missing. Is there a serial killer on the loose in Oslo? How does the killer have access to immigrant data?

Meanwhile, as the trail heats up, the victim of a horrific unsolved rape case and her father have each decided to take justice into their own hands. Hanne and Hkon soon discover that they arent the only ones on the hunt for the killer.

Critic Reviews:

"Anne Holt is the godmother of modern Norwegian crime fiction." (Jo Nesb,New York Timesbest-selling author)

Fast-paced and involving. Holt knows psychology as well as she knows the ins and outs of police work. She quickly draws the reader into the minds and lives of half a dozen disparate characters - none more interesting than Inspector Wilhelmsen herself. Holts visions of societal and ethical decay are balanced by glimpses of great poignancy, human consolation, and love. (Wall Street Journal)

A good old-fashioned mystery. (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette)

Members Reviews:

Good (not great) continuation

The only negatives here are the brevity of this part of the story (series) and its rather weak and implausible resolution of the legal issues. Forgive me but I'm a retired lawyer. The book as a standalone still deserves a four star rating.

Still going strong

This series keeps getting better. The characters continue to develop. I'm looking forward to the next in the series.
