Publisher's Summary:

Riktor doesnt like the way the policeman comes straight into the house without knocking. He doesnt like the arrogant way he observes his home.

The policeman doesnt tell him why hes there, and Riktor doesnt ask. Because he knows hes guilty of a terrible crime. But it turns out that the policeman isnt looking for a missing person. He is accusing Riktor of something totally unexpected. Riktor doesnt have a clear conscience, but this is a crime he certainly didnt commit.

Disturbing point of view...

'I like reading death notices I relish them like a sweet'

I found it pretty disturbing being in Viktors head for six and half hours and I think it's going to take a while to flush him out! This novel is written from one point of view, of a man who is fascinated with death, in fact he celebrates it. A lonely man who wants what everyone else has but can't seem to get it, a man who despises weakness and will exploit it mercilessly whenever the opportunity safely arises, a man with his own twisted morals and rules.

Working as a nurse in a home for the elderly he takes pleasure in making the patients life hell, after all they are going to die anyway.

He is accused of a heinous crime even though his own are many he definitely did not do what he is accused of.

What the author concentrates on is Victor himself and his warped psyche, the events that are happening around him become blurred round the edges at times you then find yourself stuck in Viktors head with his thoughts and feelings with no escape... shudder..

It's multi layered and dark, Viktors observations really gave me pause for thought and even though I knew he had an obvious mental disorder I despised him as much at the beginning as I did at the end, he was fascinating though and that is was kept me listening.

Wonderful narration by David Rintoul, I cannot fault it, though was surprised it was an English accent I suppose I was expecting a Norwegian one, this is a minor point.and did not detract from enjoyment well not enjoyment but the very excellent writing, be prepared to feel a little sick.

Guily but of what

Nice twists in this fairly short book.

We know from the start that Riktor is guilty, but when the police turn up to question him he realises that they are asking about something other than what he expects.

His thoughts and actions are what Karin Fossum examines, rather than the police investigation, and it makes for a fascinating book

Inside the dark mind of a Pychopath

As ever, Karin Fossum seeks to understand the psychology of the perpetrators of serious crimes.

This book is written from the perspective of one such loner who fits the profile of such an offender.Whilst it is very dark, it is also very profound and insightful, with a compelling narrative by the consistently excellent David Rintoul.

"Original and subtle" (Evening Standard)

"One of the most literate and gifted writers the mystery world has seen" (Val McDermid)

Members Reviews:

A good story well narrated

A slightly dodgy recording in places but by no means enough to spoil the story. Enjoyable lead characters and interesting ideas.

Okay story, dull reading

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

Don't think I'm going to make it that far!

What didnt you like about Alyssa Bresnahans performance?

Little expression, no characterisation. Conversations sound like bad 50's acting.

What character would you cut from To Play the Fool?

I haven't connected with any of the characters in this book. The reading infuses little, if any, life into them. Kate appears boring and bland.

Any additional comments?

Usually I listen carefully to my audiobooks, and will rewind if I miss bits. With this book, I just don't care. My mind is drifting frequently, but I can't be bothered going back. The action is so slow, I haven't missed much anyway. On top of this, the recording quality is poor. When the volume is turned up high (which for me is necessary when I'm in the garden) there is a background hiss with another voice faintly audible, as if it was recorded with talkback radio playing in the next room.

A good story

Where does To Play the Fool rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far?

It's one that I would listen to again, it's not an absolute favourite but I enjoyed it very much.

What was one of the most memorable moments of To Play the Fool?

I like the side story about the detective and her partner adjusting to the partners (recent) disability, it was sensitively written and the deep affection was clear but not overstated.

Which scene did you most enjoy?

There wasn't one special favourite scene

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

No, it needs a lot of concentration

Any additional comments?

It was an interesting story and the plot was not entirely predictable

Publisher's Summary:

Katja, like everyone else stuck on the work island they call home, wants to get to the mainland by any means necessary. Shooting her boyfriend and stealing a chemical vial is one way to ensure her safe passage; the only problem is, she's not the only one who wants it, and the freedom it will bring. There's Nikolai the joystick junkie; Aleksakhina, Katja's parole officer; Vladimir Kohl, the small-time chemical dealer; his boss, Szerynski; the rival chemical lord Dracyev; and his lover, Ylena. And there's the Man in Red, ready and waiting for whoever is (un)lucky enough to end up with the vial.

Members Reviews:

It's like Quentin Tarantino wrote a novel

Feels a little slow going in but it picks up as it progresses. Plum injects a lot of the book's humor into her narration.

Publisher's Summary:

The Inspector has been framed for murder! He is found by the police in an empty house with the body of a dead girl near him, battered with an axe bearing West's fingerprints, and the identification in his wallet is not his own! He risks his career, life and the safety of everyone close to him as he untangles this set-up.

John Creasey (September 17, 1908 - June 9, 1973) was born in Southfields, Surrey, England and died in New Hall, Bodenham, Salisbury Wiltshire, England. He was the seventh of nine children in a working class home. He became an English author of crime thrillers, published in excess of 600 books under 20+ different pseudonyms.

Probably the most famous of these is Gideon of Scotland Yard, the basis for the television program Gideon's Way but others include Department Z, Dr. Palfrey, The Toff, Inspector Roger West, and The Baron (which was also made into a television series). In 1962, Creasey won an Edgar Award for Best Novel, from the Mystery Writers of America, for Gideon's Fire, written under the pen name J. J. Marric. And in 1969 he was given the MWA's highest honor, the Grand Master Award.

A Real Nail-biter!

Fast paced and infuriatingly suspenseful. I hated to have to pause for anything. The characters are so real that I really got to care about them.

Title: Thief

Author: Rupert Croft-Cooke

Narrator: William Neenan

Format: Unabridged

Language: English

Release date: 05-16-13

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 2 votes

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense

Publisher's Summary:

If they've got any sense they'll leave the boy with Alicia Robbins. But they didn't. They (the Juvenile Court, that is) took Gerry Lovell away from the old spinster who had taken him in and cared for him so passionately and they had packed him off to an Approved School. Gerry had always been 'the one who was different': even as a boy he found crime only an excitement, not a moral wrong. Perhaps he could have been rescued from this but he wasn't.

From the moment he entered the Approved School his way forward was mapped out: robbery and deception, crime taken like a drug, until at last, as the henchman of the underworld mogul Graham Bond, he was prepared to risk everything - the happiness of a young wife and child, a promising career, the loyalty of the old woman who had stood by him through everything - to throw them all as stake just 'for kicks'.

Through a series of incidents more tense than any ordinary thriller Thief moves rapidly towards a climax of violent excitement. There is a brilliant picture of how the underworld works and there is, too, a warmth and human understanding that will make this novel remembered long after it is laid down.

Rupert Croft-Cooke, of whom Sir Compton Mackenzie has said 'no contemporary novelist has offered us so many readable books' here gives yet another proof of his remarkable versatility.

Members Reviews:

How has this not been made into a flick?

Gischler has put together a fast-paced action novel full of oddball characters. A little bit grizzled old hitman novel and a little bit spy thriller, I can easily see it standing up with a number of action franchises out there. While the plot pushes into over-the-top territory as the various killers are all stacked up against one another and their backgrounds are laid bare, it manages to avoid the cheesy nonsense that lesser novelists would attach to such plot devices. There are minor technical inaccuracies and some of the hand-to-hand scenes come off a bit awkward and inaccurate, but nevertheless, every action scene is fun and frenetic. Best of all, I liked the characters. I enjoyed following Mike and Nikki, and Gischler plays them off one another well.

If you're a noir snob, start with Gischler's The Deputy. If you're already a Gischler fan, you'll want to add this one to your bookshelf, virtual or otherwise.

Decent read.

Not my favorite Gischler, but not a bad read. A little short on plot, and the female assassin was more cartoonish than comic-book, and her sisters were even more so, but I did like the older Foley character...and I like the bad giy. Any man who can take that kind of punishment belongs in this kind of shoot-em-up.

A Whirlwind of a Read

I'm not going to take the time to give an overview of the plot. Plenty of others here have done it, and probably with more accurate detail than I can muster. I'd just like to say that this was one of the most entertaining books I've read in a long time, and is my favorite of the books I've read that were written by Victor Gischler (Go Go Girls of the Apocalypse, Gun Monkeys). From start to finish, this book is packed with action, twists and turns. The characters, though not well rounded or fully developed, are a surprisingly interesting and diverse group. The plot is classic - an action packed blood bath filled with crooks and betrayal, ending in an adrenaline fueled hail of gunfire that spans the last 1/3 of the book. When it all ends, the reader is left satisfied, and at the same time, is left wanting more. If you're looking for a fun, fast paced read, this book is highly recommended. If you're looking for a highly developed, cerebral masterpiece, get some tea and crumpets and read Pride and Prejudice.

Five Stars

great

Good book about killin'

Do you like killin'? Do you like quick little crime/tough guy reads? Buy this book. It's good. Warning to fans, though, there is no real opera in the book.

Okay Story...Laughably Bad Narration

The good: 1950s style giant insect menaces small town. The bad: abrupt ending. The ugly: super awful narration. Seriously, just listen to the sample. Especially the voices. Like a mangled accident scene you can't tear your ears from. The narrative was overly dramatic and uneven and the voices...the town seemed to consist of people with random heavy New England accents, southern California valley girls and Fog-horn Leghorns. The adult female voices were either cutesy two year olds or whiskey soaked octogenarians. Nothing in between. Nothing even close to what they should have sounded like. I cannot recommend this audiobook unless you are looking for a primer on how NOT to narrate a book. Or you need a laugh. Get the print version instead.

Publisher's Summary:

An undercover spy with the heart of a cowboy....

A disappearing roommate and a break-in are all Noelle Dupree needs to take what may be a permanent vacation. The Colorado ranch she inherited is the perfect getaway. It even comes with a hard-bodied cowboy who seems more than willing to be at her beck and call. But there's more to "Jared Douglas" than meets the eye.

Although Noelle thinks everything that happened is random, Special Agent J. D. knows better. An international arms dealer has set his sights on Noelle, and he'll stop at nothing to get what he wants. Keeping Noelle safe soon becomes more than just a mission for the highly trained spy. Because this time, it's not only his career that will suffer if he fails....

Members Reviews:

An okay book in the series so far...

J.D.'s story picks up where Cade Stark's left off...trying to find the missing anti-drome plans a weapons dealer (Zendaris) wants.

I like how this story connected to Cade's. Abby (who stole the plans from Cade after he stole them from Zendaris) happens to be the roommate of Noelle Dupree. J.D. spends (assumedly) weeks keeping an eye on Noelle outside her DC apartment. Abby's been missing for a while and the police say it's no longer their case. When Noelle comes home to find her apartment ransacked, she determines it's time to head to a family cabin in Colorado.

While in Colorado, she runs into a handsome, helpful cowboy named Jim Davis. Noelle's recent past has included some very traumatic times. Her husband was killed right in front of her a couple years prior. She deals with her guilt and PTSD by becoming OCD. Because of her OCD, she realizes someone's been inside her family cabin...they just didn't ransack it this time. For her to find J.D. at her doorstep and be so trusting of him was challenging to accept considering her violent past.

J.D.'s mission is the same. Protect Noelle and now find out what she knows of her missing roommate. Jack Coburn FINALLY shows up in this book. He wants J.D. to stay on task with this mission and keep Noelle in the dark. J.D.'s gut tells him Noelle doesn't know anything and he wants to tell her. That continues to be his inner conflict as he finds himself more and more attracted to her.

In this book, Zendaris came across as mistake-prone. For a weapons dealer who only hires the best to do his dirty work, he made a number of missteps.

Noelle and J.D.'s first attempt at making love was a challenge to read. It just wasn't the right time (something J.D. as a gentleman/cowboy should've known).

Noelle seemed to jump back and forth of trusting him and questioning if she should. Then, when she really should have trusted him, she didn't.

This book wasn't quite as good for me as the first one. It had adventure, but just seemed off to me. It didn't have what Cade's story had at the end: a direct lead into the next story (Gabe's). This series is becoming a challenge to read for me. These are a "team" of agents who never seem to work together. They easily could still have their own stories while working together. I just don't feel Gabe's story is going to have much meat to it. I hope I'm wrong.

good book!

This was a really good book with action, and lots of suspense.

Publisher's Summary:

Seattle, May 1988: Why would up and coming musician Craig Adler OD on heroin just days before signing a major record deal?

Craig's band was the first of the new Seattle music scene to break out of the Northwest and they were about to hit the big time. With everything to live for, Craig had been clean for months; everybody swore it.

Music journalist Laura Benton is determined to find the answer. But as she digs into the story, the pieces dont quite add up - and then the threats begin. Just a phone call at first, then a bullet in the mail ... and as the threats escalate, her dreams turn to nightmares in the Emerald City and Laura finds herself desperately fighting for her reputation - and her life.

Members Reviews:

Cracking good listen

For a relatively short listen, this story packs it all in; music, murder, nostalgia and mystery. Not to mention the wonderful descriptions of Seattle, the clubs, buildings and nightlife of those times.

Laura has fought long and hard for her career in music, she doesn't play or sing but as a music writer, her job allows her to live in the world she loves. Moving within this world of creativity Laura is fully aware of the pitfalls and snares awaiting the young musicians who, following the mind altering buzz of performing, are at risk of succumbing to the equally mind altering effects of illegal drugs. She determines to use her skills as a reporter and her insider knowledge to find out what really happened. Laura finds herself at great risk, but what I did like is that the author didn't create one of those female sleuths who, against all advice and common sense, still put themselves in to ridiculously stupid and self endangering situations. Laura thinks about things, weighs up the odds and then acts.

I would have thought though, that finding him with his vein still tied off would have alerted the medics to suspicious circumstances. However, I really enjoyed the story, I hope we hear a lot more about Laura.

Narrator

Beautifully narrated by Lorelei King, which added to my listening enjoyment, it's no surprise that she is one of the most popular narrators around. Unlike some actors who narrate, she doesn't do that awful overacting thing. I must admit, I had to look at an online Kindle book to verify Craig's name as actually being Craig, not Creg. However, seems all Americans say it funny, there's even a YouTube video about this strange habit!

I purchased this audiobook from Audible.com.au.
