Publisher's Summary:

Well on his way to realizing his dream of becoming a successful surgeon-scientist, Eli Branch seems destined for academic stardom. After years of research, Eli is on the cusp of a groundbreaking discovery that could light the way for the future. But, as Eli will soon learn, today's medicine has a dark side. While investigating the suspicious death of one of his patients, Eli uncovers an elaborate web of lies spun by his late father, a longtime professor of anatomy at Mid-South Medical College in Memphis. Instead of finding answers, Eli only finds more questions-and more victims, each meeting a sudden, violent end.

Eli joins forensic pathologist Meg Daily to find a common thread among the victims. As they piece together the chilling puzzle, Eli and Meg plunge headfirst into the world of deadly medicine-a world way too close to home.

Trapped in the paradox of ending one life to save another, Eli and Meg find that in this life-or-death race against time, one false step could be fatal.

I Liked It

Dr. Eli Branch falls into a stem cell mess. As a new highly recruited surgeon at Gates Memorial in Memphis, TN he is called to assist Dr. Korinsky, Chief of Vascular Surgery, with an emergency with the failing of an aortic stint in a patient. It seems that the device that was implanted to repace the aorta at the site of an aneurysm. Some how the aorta above and below the stint has disintegrated and the patient is bleeding to death. The stint was made by RBI. Eli discovers that the dying patient is Gaston, a man he had known as a boy where his father worked in the nearby medical university. Gaston was head of dissection in "Anatomy Hall". He lived in the basement of Anatomy Hall. Later Eli realizes that the same failing device had been used to do a similar repair in his mentally handicapped brother, Henry. Out of concern for his brother, he begins to ask some questions and before you know it, Dr. Korinsky has accused him of botching the attempted repair on Gaston and thereby causing old Gaston's death. From here, things go downhill for Eli Branch.

For someone not in the medical field, it was too technical in places and hard to follow because of it. Some of it was too expected. Pulling out all the known stops to produce horror with the hidden tunnels, creaking chains, etc. Despite these, Pearson did something right because I couldn't put it down.

Fast-paced and fun to read

Dr. Pearson has written a fast-paced and enjoyable thriller here. His heroes are great, his bad guys really wicked, and the suspense compelling. The action is non-stop and motivated me to turn the pages breathlessly at times. He obviously knows his medical details, but rarely gets bogged down in describing them. Some of the content in the final chapters is somewhat improbable and downright "over the top", but this is fiction, right? As a native Tennessean and Vanderbilt graduate, I enjoyed the geographical setting and positive references to that educational institution. I REALLY liked Drs. Eli Branch and Meg Daily as well as s fine Southern gentleman named Prinobius Calloway. I eagerly hope to encounter them all again in Dr. Pearson's next thriller named Public Anatomy.

Great pulse pounder read

I almost got a ruptured aneurysm while reading this pulse pounder. There are many twists and turns and enough medical situations to keep fans of this genre enthralled from beginning to end.

Why switch narrators?

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

No

Would you recommend The Mummers Curse to your friends? Why or why not?

No, the narration ruins the story.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Christina Moore?

After 6 books in the series Susan Denaker IS the voice of the characters. This is especially so for C. K. Mackenzie. I like Christina Moore as a narrator but NOT for the Amanda Pepper series. I found myself not liking the story because I didn't like her narration of the story. Susan Denaker is the voice of the Amanda Pepper series.

Any additional comments?

I want to finish the series but looking forward I see that Christina Moore narrates other titles in the series and I am dreading those titles. How can one enjoy a title or story when you just want it to be OVER.

GREAT LISTEN! WORTH THE CHIP...EVEN TWO!

I absolutely loved this story, particularly because it was simply a detective book read by a great narrator. Nothing ghetto fab or anything like that. Just pure detective skills. It was just a change from what I usually listen to. I would LOVE to see urban fiction narrators branch out to different stories written by some of the greats that aren't necessarily urban fiction related. While I may like some of the non-urban fiction stories out there, I find most of the narrators to be extremely boring. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED BOOK!

LOVE THIS AUTHOR

This is a great story. All Judith Smith-Levin books are. Please make more available!!! Also I love the narrator.

In the town of Bluffs Bay, Washington, a serial killer dubbed by the press "The Woods Strangler" is killing beautiful women in the affluent neighborhood of The Woods.

In an effort to bring the community together to fight this terror, Selene Herrera, director of a local battered women's shelter, helps establish a neighborhood crime-watch group. She is newly married to her second husband, Quinn, who is named the director of The Woods Citizens Against Crime group. A best-selling mystery novelist and nonfiction writer, he too is on a second marriage, having lost his first wife to violence.

The Herreras' life together is threatened when Selene's abusive ex-husband, Michel Giovanni, shows up in town under the guise of seeking the reward money offered for information leading to the killer. But he soon begins to stalk Selene, wanting her back and determined to have her any way he can. Selene starts to receive calls from an anonymous caller implicating Quinn as The Woods Strangler. Though she tries to dismiss it, the chilling calls and continued murders unnerve Selene and threaten to undermine her marriage.

Quinn fights the allegations as best he can, while keeping secrets that he fears could destroy his life with Selene. Selene is also faced with the demands of running a battered women's shelter, including trying to help a battered policewoman and dealing with a fire at the shelter caused by an arsonist.

A strong set of supporting characters includes Police Officer Ashley Leighton, who hides her dangerously abusive relationship while trying to do her job in pursuit of a killer; Homicide Detective Dennis Cramer, who is faced with the realization that a serial killer might be one of his neighbors in The Woods and must be stopped at all costs; Marvin and Elisa Bonet, the Herreras' next-door neighbors, who carry burdens of their own; Todd Foxworth, a spa owner whose girlfriend becomes a victim of the strangler; and Julian McKenzie, a local firefighter and dedicated member of The Woods Citizens Against Crime.

Skip the book - see dentist instead.

R. Barri Flowers, what were you thinking - or not - choosing this narrator and predictable plot? Boring, boring, boring. Get with the program!

Scary, but thrilling

I throughly enjoyed this psychological thriller. Never saw the perpetrator coming. I got angry at times due to the nature of some of the situations as I can't fathom Domestic Violence, but it gives you insight to what women can accomplish when they stand up for themselves

Length: 9 hrs and 48 mins

Language: English

Release date: 09-26-11

Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc.

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense

Publisher's Summary:

A young woman in the hair salon raises her a in a furtive gesture, frank and tantalizingly brief, to show a friend the work in progress: a riot of stunning tattoos. From his accidental vantage point in the barbers chair, Fred Taylor knows that those imagesweird insects, beasts, and naked human figurescould only come from something nice, a painting that, if he could only see the original in person, might prove to be rare and of significant value. And the girls dont have a clue.

Such a painting needs to be understood and identified, but before that can happen it must be found. Freds inquiries lead from the hairdresser to the illegal tattoo parlor of an unlicensed genius, from Cambridge, Massachusetts, into a dilapidated urban wilderness in neighboring New Hampshire. Fred is met everywhere by ignorance or denial. Anyone who must have seen the painting denies that it exists, despite the vivid proof increasingly laid bare on the hairdressers skin.

Freds employer, the collector Clayton Reed, is out of the country. So Fred, left to his own devices, is free to follow the trail, despite the distraction of the intriguing librarian Molly Riley. Not wanting to spook his unwilling witnesses, Fred must proceed with caution even after he encounters the first serious bump in the road, a suspiciously convenient hitandrun accident that turns one potential informant into an abrupt dead end.

Can a painting that supposedly does not exist be worth a murder?

Praise for Nicholas Kilmers A Butterfly in Flame: [A] wellcrafted whodunit. (Publishers Weekly)

Members Reviews:

exciting stay at home art mystery

At Cut-Rate-Cuts hair salon in Cambridge, Massachusetts, manager Kim Weatherall lifts her shirt to show stylist Claire her new but not finished tattoo on her back that she says came from an old painting. Art expert Fred Taylor looks at the elaborate garden display on Kim's body and is stunned. The tattoo looks like something from the work of fifteenth century Dutch artist Hieronymus Bosch, as the unfinished tattoo reminds Fred of the masterpiece The Garden of Earthly Delights.

Fred's patron collector Clayton Reed is out of the country, but he knows his client will want the Bosch if it is genuine. Thus Fred goes to the G Spot in Central Square to meet Arthur Pendragon the tattoo artist and determine whether a previously undiscovered painting by Bosch exists. Instead of a straight answer, Arthur and his colleagues (tattoo artist Kenzo Petersen; exotic dancer Tippy Artoonian; art dealer Lexington Orono and high school art teacher Zoltan "Z" Zagoriski) give him the run around. When Z dies in a hit-and-run, Fred understands the high cost of art, but remains ignorant whether a Bosch exists.

Fred is at his best in this exciting stay at home art mystery (see A Butterfly in Flame), but not just because of this super case for the elusive Bosch; he also shows his first signs of love as he likes Molly the librarian. Readers will appreciate Nicholas Kilmer's New England caper who like the hero will wonder whether a Bosch masterpiece has been found.

Good Read

good read, book flows well. Enjoyed the book

An interesting thriller.

I read the first three books from this author when they appeared in the mid to late 1980's. I liked 'One Police Plaza' but wasn't so impressed with 'Black Sand' and 'Suspects' so I moved away from this author. About 18 months ago, I picked up his sixth book 'Pigtown', read it and liked it. This is the preceding novel.

There is a group of people smuggling heroin (Cleopatra Gold) into the US in general and New York in particular. The NYPD try to infiltrate this ring, but after three of their undercover agents are killed, they have to try an alternative route. The investigating officer then asks if there is a deep undercover agent ("Who runs the Job's deep undercovers?" "I really don't know. I'm not even sure we have any.") that could be used to infiltrate the network. The book then focuses around a half Irish, half Indian nightclub singer who emerges to take on the network.

The author is a retired NYPD detective lieutenant and this shows in all of his books. The investigative work carried out by the LEAs is described in detail, often using expressions found in the NYPD. The technology used is also described in detail, making this book seem very realistic, to the point of this reader feeling that it could almost have been based on true events.

This however, is also to the disadvantage of the book. For me, a thriller is supposed to keep up a quick pace, but I found that some of the lengthy, detailed descriptions of equipment and procedure slowed the pace of this book down a bit too much for my liking. I do realise that these things are part of any investigation, and it isn't all fast-paced action.

Having said that though, I would say that a little more action would have improved this book for me, rather than a little less description of the bits and pieces involved, IMO. Hence the summary, an *interesting* thriller.

3.5 out of 5 for this one, I think.

David Lucas ([email protected]).

A fast read, entertaining, provocative, worthy of your time.

I just finished Cleopatra Gold and I am impressed with the story. Simple, direct, and believable, CG is a fast read. A book needs to take you by the shirt and pull you into the drama. This book does that. I read the first half on the plane to Atlanta and the second half on the way home. It is easy to identify with Alejandro's loneliness. His ability to differentiate what is real and what is a lie is worthy of the best of heroes. Alejandro wants a normal life, but his work is like an aphrodisiac to him. While he longs to get out, he can't bring himself to ask his handlers to allow it. His continual battle with himself adds to the suspense of the book as one could expect the average person to give it all up. But Alejandro is not your average person. An average person could not live a lie for five years and be a person that didn't exist before. The characters are believable. The scenario is believable.

Title: One True Sentence

Author: Craig McDonald

Narrator: Tom Stechschulte

Format: Unabridged

Length: 10 hrs and 33 mins

Language: English

Release date: 08-29-11

Publisher: Recorded Books

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 9 votes

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense

Publisher's Summary:

Edgar, Anthony, and Gumshoe finalist Craig McDonald takes listeners to 1924 Paris for this riveting tale. Someone is murdering literary magazine editors, so Gertrude Stein assigns Hector Lassiter, fellow mystery writer Brinke Devlin, and Hectors dear friend Papa Hemingway to track down the killer. While the romance smolders between Hector and Brinke, their investigation takes them down a path that grows stranger by the minute.

Members Reviews:

One True Sentence is light and breezy fun.

A fun read. I liked the inclusion of Hemingway, Gertrude Stein, Alice B. Toklas and the rest of the ex-patriots in the mystery.

Lots of True Sentences

A handful of mystery writers, including Max Allan Collins with his Nathan Heller series and Stuart Kaminsky with his Toby Peters books, specialize in mixing the real and the unreal, by having their detectives rub shoulders with celebrities of bygone days who become integral parts of the storyline. I really enjoy this type of book when done right, as Collins and Kaminsky do. More recently, I have discovered another author, Craig McDonald, who shows in âOne True Sentenceâ that he also knows how to do justice to this sub-genre,

McDonaldâs hero is Hector Lassiter, who, unlike Heller and Kaminsky, is not a gumshoe, although crime and death seem to find him very easily. Instead, heâs a writer, a hardboiled crime novelist straight out of Raymond Chandler or Dashiell Hammett. The chronology of the Lassiter novels is a bit odd. McDonald introduced his character in âHead Games,â a book chronicling the adventures of a middle-aged Lassiter, and then the author hopscotched around a bit chronologically in his next couple of books. âOne True Sentence,â however, goes back to Lassiterâs youngest writing days, in Paris in the 1920âs. There, he rubs shoulders with literary luminaries like Gertrude Stein, Alice B. Toklas (whose brownies help fuel a rather bizarre romantic encounter for Lassiter), William Carlos Williams, and Ford Maddox Ford.

Of course, the Paris scene wouldnât be complete without Ernest Hemingway, and Hemingway and Lassiter (whom Hem calls âLassoâ) are drinking buddies. Ironically, Lassiter, who has had some stories published by pulp detective magazines, is more successful than Hemingway, leading to a tad bit of jealousy and allowing Hemingway to serve as Lassiterâs wing man in the detective arena. Lassiterâs detective skills are put to the test in âOne True Sentenceâ when the Paris literary scene is rocked by a series of brutal murders, mostly of publishers of small literary magazines (of which there seem to be an infinite supply in Paris). As the body count rises, the killings seem to be the work of a bizarre cult led by a disciple of noted Satanist Aleister Crowley (who also shows up and winds up on the business end of a Lassiter fist). Lassiter tries to track the cult leader down but also wonders if thereâs more to these killing than first meets the eye.

What does meet the eye a lot in âSentenceâ is blood and guts. I actually lost track of the number of killings in the book, certainly far more than there were in âHead Games.â These killings, and the mystery behind them, are actually the weakest aspect of the book. As a mystery, âOne True Sentenceâ is somewhat routine. But, as a glance at the Lost Generation, the book is much better.

The Sublime & The Ridiculous Entwined

This book kept me enthralled, and I got my earphones out at every opportunity. The story is of a high-flying American financier who decides to take a holiday. During his period of leave, he becomes entangled in the search for a medieval document, the eponymous "Codex" of the title. The story is exciting and moves at a pace; it is built around the alleged conflict between an English duke & duchess.

The story works its way up to an exciting conclusion. The conclusion, however, never comes. In a nutshell, the story just stops. It's extremely annoying and leaves the listener feeling totally short-changed.

Great!

I really enjoyed this. Thought it was a great story well read. Looking forward to more by this author. If you enjoy a good story then I'd say give this a listen.
