Love this book

I love this series. It was a surprise. The charaters are likeable and the story moves on smoothly. The only thing I did not like is that the narrator sounds to old to be in her early thirties. She actually reminds me of the woman who played Della Street in the 80s.

Great!!!

This entire series is great. I really wish the author continued writing this series. I tried the other series by this author and did not like them. Linda Palmer found her mark in this series.

Publisher's Summary:

This time around, she's called in to investigate what appears to be a locked-room mystery: A wealthy woman has been murdered in the penthouse suite of a luxurious, high-security building. The building's intricate surveillance system didn't pick up anything, the entrance wasn't forced, and the victim's husband has an airtight alibi. Cases like this, Evelyn knows, can turn on the most microscopic piece of evidence, if she can find any. Then Evelyns best friend is attacked - and things get personal. When another body is found in an apartment across town, Evelyn realizes that the killer's choice of victim is anything but random.

Members Reviews:

A well paced listen!

Becka combines the reality of the nitty-gritty detail of forensic work with the drama of a CSI getting involved way beyond the lab. The narration is well paced, capturing the sense of urgency actually better than the written novel. The plot is intricate without being so complicated that it confuses rather than takes you along. This is a great series!

Couldn't finish it

This was the first audio book ever that I couldn't finish. NO character development.. at lest not that you would notice, and after listening for an hour, I'm still not sure what the plot was...

Title: Black Notice

Subtitle: Kay Scarpetta, Book 10

Author: Patricia Cornwell

Narrator: Roberta Maxwell

Format: Abridged

Length: 5 hrs and 40 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-05-08

Publisher: Hachette Audio UK

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 7 votes

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense

Publisher's Summary:

While Lucy Farinelli goes undercover in Miami to bring down a notorious criminal cartel, Dr Kay Scarpetta and Pete Marino discover a body in a cargo ship recently arrived from Belgium at Virginia's Deep Water Terminal in Richmond. Scarpetta's post mortem reveals neither a cause of death nor an identification. So the victim's personal effects and an odd tattoo take Scarpetta on a hunt for information that eventually leads her and Marino to Interpol's headquarters in Lyon. At first the highly confidential information they receive seems incredible, a bizarre trail of conspiracy and deceit, but inexorably the facts reveal a web of privileged and criminal arrogance which puts Dr Kay Scarpetta directly in harm's way, and places her and those she holds most dear at mortal risk.

Critic Reviews:

"Black Notice is undoubtedly her best book for some time" (Evening Standard)

Members Reviews:

Thrilling, but....

Patricia Cornwall fans will not be disappointed. The suspense mounts wonderfully until the final climax in the last minutes, what a shame however that the clumsy editing omits chunks of the tale which the listener has to interpret and insert. It will also help if you are already familiar with previous tales from our feisty medical examiner and her turbulent domestic life.

not a fan of the music

The book was good but I could have done without the dramatic music to lend effect

Critic Reviews:

"Newcomer Slater successfully taps into the complex issues facing Native American communities....This is a wonderful book with loveable heroes." (Library Journal)

Members Reviews:

Borderline

I'd have rated this 1 level higher if the reader had been better. The plot is like a Mister Potato Head mixture of various standard mystery plots, yet it ends up being a pretty good tale. The writer needs to stay away from adult material until she can do it with competence, and sometimes she gets a bit didactic about native lore, but it was worth the purchase.

AUDIO: It's a shame that neither the techs nor the producers worked out the obvious errors, because the reader has fairly good acting abilities and could have done a good job with some help. But there are many peculiar, inappropriate pauses that significantly mess up the meaning, mispronunciations, and many fits of fumble-mouth that are not corrected.

Domestic Bioterroism or Just Murderous Greed

The science in this disease related murder mystery is pretty good. The intertwining of greed and the mysticism of native Americanism adds a unique flavor. I recommend this book.

Publisher's Summary:

While out collecting some Portuguese laurel for the formidable flower arranger Mrs Dawes, feisty widow Ellie Quicke comes across a dead body - a corpse without an identity. Next day, Mrs Dawes is discovered by Ellie and her grandson, Frank, badly beaten and close to death. Much to Ellie's dismay, the police think shaven-headed Neil, Mrs Dawes' grandson, is responsible, even after a third body comes to light. As if this were not enough, Ellie's ambitious daughter, Diana, has gone into partnership with a smiling, steely estate agent; Ellie's aged aunt is making plans, which are sure to cause family ructions; and their delightfully rotund vicar asks for more attention from Ellie than she can easily give.

Ellie Steps On A Body

Mrs. Dawes is making g flower arrangements a large wedding at the church. She doesn't have enough greens to do all the arrangements. Mrs. Dawes sends Ellie to get some more greens at a nearby home that owner has told her to take all she wants. Gathering the greens, Ellie step on a decaying corpse. Meanwhile, Diana has put Ellie house on sale as she wants her half of the money she will inherit on Ellie's. Diana has Frank on the weekends and dumps him without her Mother's permission. Bill, Ellie's lawyer asked Ellie to marry him and she doesn't say no. Mrs. Dawes is beaten almost to death and Ellie feels the police have arrested the wrong prep. What will Ellie do?

just as its titled

wa an interesting book, although i sort of missed the fact the bossy church flower lady wasnt mentioned much after this one, although it never said if she supposed to have died . good twisty story, the author has a great way to make two separate stories come twisting together as one conclusion, although sometimes i wonder how she actually figures them out in her head :),

An Enjoyable Cozy Series

I always enjoy it when I sit down to read another book in the Ellie Quicke Series. Ellie and her friends have become so familiar and I enjoy reading about their lives. In this book Elile goes to a house for Mrs. Dawes (the church flower lady) to bring back some greens that Mrs. Dawes says she was told she could have. Instead of bringing back greens, Ellie steps on a corpse in the overgrown garden. Then Mrs. Dawes is seriously attacked. The police have tunnel vision and think that Mrs. Dawes grandson did the attack and also the murder of the person in the garden. They can't identify the garden corpse and no one has been reported missing.

Ellie takes charge in helping many of her friends in this book. She does have a dreadful daughter who I would be happy if she wasn't in the books. The books would be very good without her as Diana(the daughter) is major irritant. I like to chose an Ellie Quicke book when I want a light and relaxing read. I like to catch up with the characters. I also like to see how Ellie is living her life now as a recent widow.

nice comeback for Ellie Quicke

Veronica Heley makes a nice recovery with Murder of Identity after the subparMurder by Bicycle (Ellie Quicke Mystery Series #7), the seventh and previous novel in this series.

In Murder of Identity, widow Ellie Quicke discovers a long-dead body, wrapped in plastic and dumped in the rear of a house for sale. Most disturbing! But then Ellie's longtime friend, the good-hearted but somewhat bullying Mrs.

Title: HMS Ulysses

Author: Alistair MacLean

Narrator: Denis Quilley

Format: Abridged

Length: 2 hrs and 43 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-05-07

Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers Limited

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 3 votes

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense

Publisher's Summary:

The story of men who rose to heroism, and then to something greater, HMS Ulysses takes its place alongside The Caine Mutiny and The Cruel Sea as one of the classic novels of the navy at war. It is the compelling story of Convoy FR77 to Murmansk - a voyage that pushes men to the limits of human endurance as they are crippled by enemy attack and the bitter cold of the Arctic.

©1955 Alistair MacLean; (P)1992 HarperCollins Audiobooks, London, United Kingdom

Critic Reviews:

"A story of exceptional courage which grips the imagination." (Daily Telegraph)

"It deserves an honourable place among 20th-century war books." (Daily Mail)

Members Reviews:

What a misery

A misanthropic war tragedy. There's not much light or redemption in this unrelievedly grim tale of an arctic convoy during WW2. Misery upon misery ending in disaster, death and disgrace. I guess a gritty true-to-life account of what it was really like is an appropriate antidote to the boys-own-annual view of the navy and war but pheeww this one is really depressing. The writing is taught and Quilly's cut glass accent is perfect. If you can stand the tragedy its an interesting well crafted work.

Shouldn't be abridged.

This is a fantastic book however, abridging it ruins a great work.

I personally would read the full version as you get a better grasp of events and a better story all together.

The waste of a great book

When you read this book, the writer, Alistair Maclean gives the story atmosphere a

really great atmosphere, but this version as no atmosphere at all. It's just like the

narrater was reading a telephone book. It is a shame that Audible have spoiled all of the books by Alistair Maclean. They have cut a lot of pieces out of the stories and made them shorter spoiling great books. I will be sending this book back because it is a very poor version, a waste of a great book.

A good story ruined

Is there anything you would change about this book?

Having read this book I was disappointed at the cuts to the story used on this audible book. I think it didn't fully give you the sense of the struggle the ship and crew faced in their battle against the Germans and the development of the characters.

Read the book and don't listen to this

Who was your favorite character and why?

CPO Hartley-backbone of the story

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

read all the book

Was HMS Ulysses worth the listening time?

No

HMS Ulysses

Lacking in story action more about description of north sea.

Title: The Strangler

Subtitle: A Novel

Author: William Landay

Narrator: Stephen Hoye

Format: Abridged

Length: 6 hrs and 29 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-04-07

Publisher: Random House Audio

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 8 votes

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense

Publisher's Summary:

For the three Daley brothers, sons of a Boston cop, crime is the family business. They are simply on different sides of it. Joe is the eldest, a tough-talking cop whose gambling habits drag him down into the city's gangland. Michael is the middle son, a Harvard-educated lawyer working for an ambitious attorney general. And Ricky, the devil-may-care youngest son, floats above the fray as an expert burglar - until the Strangler strikes too close to home.

As Joe's mob debts close in around him, and Michael becomes snarled in a murder investigation gone wrong, and Ricky is hunted by both sides of the law, the three brothers - and the women who love them - are forced to take sides. Now each must look deeper into a killer's murderous rage, into their family's own lethal secrets, and into the one death that has changed them forever.

As William Landay's complex, compassionate, and terrifying novel builds to a climax, two mysteries will collide, and a shattering truth will be revealed.

Critic Reviews:

"Landay movingly explores the bonds of family and basic questions of honesty and loyalty." (Publishers Weekly)

"A crackling debut that answers the question: Who will be the new Grisham? Stylish writing, wickedly convoluted plotting, and an insider's view of big-city jurisprudence and police accommodation." (Kirkus Reviews)

Members Reviews:

Too boring to finish!

Though I thougt Defending Jacob by this author was top-notch, The Strangler nearly

put me to sleep. Skip it!

I liked the surprises.

Would you try another book from William Landay and/or Stephen Hoye?

yes

Would you be willing to try another book from William Landay? Why or why not?

yes. I bought this book because I read Defending Jacob, which was one of the best books I've read.

Liistened to abridged by mistake -- still good

I bought the book and was told by Audible that it would not be available immediately. When I did get it, I downloaded it without checking. Listened to it and was surprised to hear a credit for the "abridger" at the end. I never listen to abridged books (so I feel a little cheated), but this was good even if shorter than what the author intended. The story held together quite well (I already downloaded and am listening to his first novel -- unabridged -- and will probably end up listening to the just-released one as well). As other reviewers have pointed out, the story of the Boston Strangler is just the backdrop for the family mystery/drama. The reader is also quite good (I wish he would not attempt the Boston accent, but that is only mildly annoying). Glad to have discovered the writer.

Members Reviews:

Great read--John and Janice Deal--the Nick and Nora of Miami

Standiford has topped himself.His wonderfully drawn everday hero, John Deal, is out to find who killed his friend, bookstore owner, Arch Dolan. He teams up with estranged wife, Janice, for the ride of their lives. Don't miss out on this one. Standiford writes a wonderfully stylish thriller

Not MY Cup Of Tea

This may be a good novel of the thriller genre; I never finished it. Why? Because of the author's cold calculation that his opening of the book - consisting of a masturbatory scene - would intrigue and tittilate the reader. Maybe if one is wrting to make a buck, this kind of thing is understandable. But that will never make it right. There are other Les Standiford novels on the bookshelves. I won't read those either.

Who would believe the bookselling business could be deadly

Title: Kane

Author: Jennifer Blake

Format: Abridged

Length: 3 hrs and 6 mins

Language: English

Release date: 09-22-05

Publisher: Harlequin Books S.A.

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 28 votes

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense

Publisher's Summary:

Kane's sure Regina Dalton's up to no good. She's either out to grab his grandfather's money or a spy for the company that's trying to put him out of business. Kane (who everyone calls Sugar Kane, 'cause he's sweet as sin, with all the consequences) figures he'll have no trouble getting answers from Regina. But he's wrong.

She's not about to tell him the truth. Because her own family's in trouble and she'll do anything, and everything, to save it.

Members Reviews:

Decent, pleasing read

"Kane" was the first book by Jennifer Blake I'd read. The back cover blurb sounded interesting enough for me to give her a chance. The first chapter had enough chemistry between Kane and Regina to have hooked for the rest of the book.

But to be completely honest, I didn't care for Regina's character. I don't like the way she treated Kane. I kept wondering what the heck Kane saw in her. I also thought the fact that she kept giving in to her cousin's blackmailing made her character come off as weak. She didn't seem like a genuine person until the very end of the book. One of her few redeeming qualities was the love for her son (which is the major reason she allows herself to be blackmailed in the first place).

However, I loved Kane. He was a typical alpha male/southern gentlemen. Ms. Blake also does a beautiful job with her descriptions of the sultry south. She paints a vibrant and 3-dimensional picture for someone who's never been to the south before. She also does a good job of setting the book up as a series, since she introduces other members of the Benedict family.

All in all, "Kane" was a good story. I just wished Regina hadn't been so two-faced.

Five Stars

Great series!

Great story

I've read ALLof the stories they are really great . Makes you want them to come up with more brothers or cousins to continue the story

Just could never really connect with the main characters

It was an okay story and I alway like Louisiana as a setting. However, there was something about the dialogue or relationship between the main characters that just left me kind of flat. I wasn't eager to continue on with the series and that is pretty rare for me.

Louisiana Gentlemen

I love this book and each one in the series. They were all wonderful. Can't beat Jennifer Blake for romance, history and just great entertainment. I'm addicted to her books. Don't miss this series of Louisiana Gentlemen. It's just great!!!
