Publisher's Summary:

The Trespasser by Tana French is a mystery novel in which Detective Antoinette Conway investigates the death of a young woman who was murdered. Although the circumstances surrounding her death seem obvious at first, Conway and her partner Steve Moran soon find themselves drawn into a delicate, complex investigation that could cost them their jobs.

The story begins just as Conway and Moran are finishing a night shift at Dublin Murder Squad. As they prepare to leave, their superintendent, O'Kelly, personally hands them a case, which is unusual. He says they'll be working with Breslin, a senior detective who will serve as their mentor even though Conway will be in charge. The partners aren't thrilled; the case looks banal and Breslin is famously annoying.

Please note: this is a summary, analysis and review of the book and not the original book.

Modern medicine is all about money

In The Truth About Cancer, body builder and health advocate, Ty Bollinger, exposes the American health industryâs profit-driven agenda that has that has changed the course of modern medicine and altered the course of medicine, especially as it regards to the treatment of cancer.

Publisher's Summary:

There's the lost. There's the missing. And there's the taken.

She asked me once if we had any secrets, and I shook my head.

'No secrets between us', she said.

'No' I answered. 'Never ever.'

In a Durham hotel at dawn, celebrated preacher Tristan Snow is murdered as he prays. None of the other guests - not even his daughter, his wife, or her sister - saw or heard anything. But then again, they each had a motive for murder.

Detective Inspector Erica Martin is confronted by secrets and lies, lost in a case where nothing is what it seems. With no answers, DI Martin is consumed by questions: is anyone in this family innocent? When the victim might have been a monster, is there such a thing as justice? And does anyone deserve to die?

Members Reviews:

Not as great as first book but ok

Overall, I think this is good but the story line was too unpleasant for me. As a matter of personal preference, I dislike pastor/church/religious crime stories because it is not my kind of plot. The story moves a bit slow and characters are devious and ugly. The air throughout the story is heavy and stiffling. Alice Clark-Platts is a great author and her writing is excellent, the pace of her stories is well executed. I love the main characters in the series.

I'm truly enjoying this series

I'm truly enjoying this series, I hope there're more to follow. If you like thrillers, you won't want to miss this one

I found the English accent a bit distracting

but the reader had an amazing range in voice chacter and range it was very covincing. There is much datail given to describe body language of the characters, as well. If you are a visual person this will give much insight into who dunit.

Gripping thriller!

A gripping thriller that is well constructed and delves into the underbelly of a range of interesting and disturbing topics. Full of twists and turns the story is intriguing and the characters engrossing. Enjoyable to listen to - can't wait for the next DI Erica Martin book!!

Mitglieder Bewertungen:

Nichts Neues, wenig spannend, eher ein Kopie von mehrere TV Krimis

Leider zu ähnlich zu so viele andere Menschenshandle-Geschichten die zZ sehr häufig in TV Kimis statt finden.

Ganz viel Details was das Buch sehr lange und etwas langsam macht.

Habe es für Kindle gekauft und dazu das teuer Hörbuch. Daher habe es durch gehalten zum Ende. Hätte ich es als Geschenk bekommen, wäre es nach 30 Minuten in der Spende-Sammelung gelandet.

Ein offenes Ende! Warum? Ich habe das ganze ...

Ein offenes Ende! Warum? Ich habe das ganze Buch um das Bulgarische Maedchen gefiebert und am Ende weiss ich nicht was mit Ihm geschehen ist. Richtig gemein - ich gebe es an "Misery" weiter :) ! Oder sind die letzten Seiten beim Druck ausgefallen :) ? Deswegen ein Stern weniger.

Typisch

Das war ein ganz typischer Roman von Link. Wie ein Candybar von der Tankstelle, süß schon, aber keine feine Schokolade!

Great read!

This was one of the best books I have read from Charlotte Link, and I read almost all of them.

Five Stars

Critic Reviews:

"The best first novel Ive read in years.... Its a flat-out terror trip." (James Ellroy)

"A great, brawling ache of a novel.... Serena Flanagan [is] the bruised and compassionate hero for whom weve all been waiting." (Megan Abbott, author of The Fever)

Members Reviews:

Disappointing book from a normally good writer

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

No.I have really liked all of Neville's previous books but found this one dull, predictable and found it difficult to be interested in any of the characters. The central character, DCI Flanagan is no match for Neville's other detective, DI Jack Lennon, and the long sections dealing with her troubled family life were utterly boring.

Would you recommend So Say the Fallen to your friends? Why or why not?

Absolutely not. I felt like giving up after the first hour but as Neville's other books have been so good I was sure it would improve. It didn't!!

How could the performance have been better?

The reader's dreary, monotonous voice killed any chance of the book coming to life and her Northern Ireland accent was terrible.

If this book were a film would you go see it?

There has already been a recent tv film with a similar story (The Secret with James Nesbitt in the lead role)

Any additional comments?

Listen to any of Neville's previous books. Much better than this.

Narration Stymied Listening Experience

I really like the underexposed settings, unique characters, and their interesting yet simple relationships in this installment of the Kyle Callahan series. . Death in the Headlights is my third exploration in his collections (check out Stop The Car for a good sample of his non-series, short story work). McNeases narratives present a fresh take on solidly established genres, and this is whats consistent: While thoroughly enjoying the experience of story McNease so well delivers, I find myself wanting more out of his writing, which admittedly veers to the lighter, upbeat side of mystery and murder (sounds weird when put in writing, but these things exist). Even in this less serious light though, a richer engagement is lurking on fringes, in full, inaccessible view. You can practically taste it, which can make for a frustrating read. The potential is clearly there, however, so I will probably keep following this author, provided he finds the better narrators.

The narrator speaks well with, concise articulation and good flow. The issue is she reads this adult book as if it's intended audience is elementary school aged children. I get the impression she is a consummate professional who either inadvertently selected a tone that is completely unsuited this genre or whose forte is locked solid in childrens story book. Either way, in this performance, she did not rise to the task of mastering delicate combination of mature levity and the seriousness matter of murder.

Great!

amateur-sleuth, murder-investigation, no-gratuitous-erotica, relationships, friendship

Read on October 02, 2016

The publisher's blurb is pretty lousy, but the novel is really good. One one hand, it's kind of a romance of a newly engaged retired police detective with issues, and it also tells of growing friendships within a group. The murder and it's convoluted investigation, the dysfunctional family dynamics of the suspects, and the surprising twists comprise the real intent, and is very well done. As a history geek, I was delighted by the brief historical bits inserted as appropriate to several locations.

Daniela Acitelli does very well with the audio performance by clearly differentiating characters and moods.

Title: Special Agent Christie Lovelace: Village of Idiots

Language: English

Release date: 05-03-16

Publisher: Eugene Penny

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 21 votes

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Modern Detective

Publisher's Summary:

Christie Lovelace is sent to investigate an anonymous tip linking the death of a nameless woman to allegations of corruption in the small town of Danbury, Texas.

In the course of Christie's roller-coaster investigation, she is blindsided by unexpected news from her boyfriend Kieran, financially accosted by a strange motel owner named Otto, and forced to endure the curiously strong smell of feces wafting throughout the sheriff's station.

Special Agent Christie Lovelace: Village of Idiots is oddly befitting of a Monday - a day that starts off on the wrong foot and spirals into the most bizarre mystery of Christie's career.

Members Reviews:

Special agent

Any additional comments?

At times it made me laugh out loud , some part scary and some squeezy . But as always I listened to the audiobook until the end. The narrator made this audiobook enjoyable to listen to.

Strange, but funny!

4.25 out of 5 stars

This Monday was supposed to be like any other Monday, but it quickly spirals out of control. Meet Christie Lovelace, a self-depreciating FBI agent who gets a case that begins to open up what appears to be Pandora's Box.

This book does contain some graphic language. Readers/Listeners who are easily upset by language should be warned.

Special Agent Christie Lovelace: Village of Idiots was narrated by Rebecca Roberts who does a perfect job. The character Christie Lovelace has a really unique point of view and way of talking, which Roberts knocks out of the park. She has a kind of "I'm so done with this" attitude throughout and Roberts nails if perfectly.

Village of Idiots was an interesting book. While not my normal type of book, I found myself really enjoying it. The uniqueness of Lovelace's point of view made me laugh again and again.

The story was interesting and continued to get more and more interesting as it progressed. Lovelace is faced with basically the worst day of her life and it just keeps getting worse (and weirded). It kind of feels bad to laugh out loud at the things that continued to happen to her, but they were written in such a way that it kept me laughing again and again.

Overall, while not a story that I would normally read, I definitely enjoyed Special Agent Christie Lovelace: Village of Idiots. Honestly, I don't think I would have picked this book up if Rebecca Roberts hadn't narrated it, but her performance made this book for me. Roberts fans -- if you are on the fence about this book, pick it up and enjoy a good laugh. I promise you won't regret it.

I was given a copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest and unbiased opinion.

This was somethign else lol

Any additional comments?

This took me a little to get into but once I did I was hooked. I can honest say I never saw that coming it really blow my mind. I thought this was an interesting listen at times very humorous. There were a few times I really laughed out loud. Kieran should be shot for all he did and his ending was outstanding I really didnt think Christie had it in her. I was cheering the whole way when she put the hammer down on him. Otto is one strange dude with money on his mind, I would have loved to have shaken him for trying to shake down Christie. It took me awhile to understand the feces thing which was mind blowing in its self.

Title: Down the Darkest Street

Language: English

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 2 votes

Publisher's Summary:

Pete Fernandez should be dead. His life - professional and personal - is in ruins. His best friend is dead. His newspaper career is past tense. His ex is staying with him as her own marriage crumbles. On top of that, the former journalist finds himself in the eye of a dangerous storm, investigating a missing girl with an unexpected partner and inching closer and closer to a vicious, calculating killer cutting a swath of blood across Miami - while at the same time battling his own personal demons that refuse to be silenced.

Down the Darkest Street, the hard-boiled sequel to Alex Segura's acclaimed debut, Silent City, tells a tale of redemption, survival, and the sordid backstreets of Miami - while asking the question that many are too scared to answer: When faced with pure darkness, would you fold or fight?

Members Reviews:

Fast Moving, Exciting, & Interesting Characters

Pete Fernandez's life is in ruins, yet he doesn't give up. He fights, and it gets worse.

Have to admire a person who under great danger perseveres and presses forward. When things got bad, it became worse, making this an excellent plot.

(Nearly every character used "colorful" language. That took away from the story.)

The main reason I enjoy these stories is the character arch of Pete. He's bettering himself, moving away from alcohol's grip on his life.

The characters showed their human side, making this story feel very real. His ex, Emily made mistakes but tried to right the wrongs. Kathy, Journalists, helps Pete until...

I'm hooked and, I look forward to the next book.

I love Pete!

I love this character and I love this series! There's just something unique about Pete Fernandez, that makes him so likeable even though he is just so messed up in so many ways.

Alex Segura has proven that knows how to write a gripping story! This second book in the series just whet's my appetite for more Pete Fernandez! Bring it on Alex!!!!

Even better than "Silent City"

Alex Segura's second Pete Fernandez novel brings him back to the underbelly of Miami, with a major added bonus -- a serial killer! Fans of the genre will thrill to the latest plot dreamed up by the South Florida native (and alumnus of the once great Miami Herald, among other local publications). Segura uses strong, muscular prose to invoke myriad characters, from the newly sober Fernandez himself to his whipsmart friend and ally, Kathy. Thoroughly entertaining, "Down the Darkest Street" is a must-read for anyone who likes his or her mystery with a little serial killing deftly folded in. Segura is a hugely promising young writer.

When we left him in "Silent City" it seemed like he was

When I started this book, I was struck by how dark it was, and how poorly Pete was doing. When we left him in "Silent City" it seemed like he was, if not doing well, then at least getting his s*** together. Nope.

I liked "Down the Darkest Street" even more than "Silent City" partly it did surprise me a few times. I won't give any more examples, as I hope everyone goes out and reads it for themselves.

I appreciated seeing Pete's character develop, and getting more insight into some of the other characters that we met in the first book.

Publisher's Summary:

Baffled in Boston marks the debut of the most likable - and unlikely - sleuth to come along in years. Burned-out true-crime writer Scotty Scotland has been abandoned by his wife, ordered to give up coffee by his doctor, and according to his latest review, he should give up writing too. He spends his days winning imaginary arguments with his wife, defacing reviews of his novels, and counting flowers on the wallpaper. But when his best friend Molly, a nationally syndicated advice columnist, is murdered, Scotty must get out of his pajamas and into action to find the killer.

"Dear Molly,

I'm competing with 18,000 preachers, plumbers, writers, shrinks - and a set of quintuplets - to be the new you. If I win the contest, I could solve a lot of problems - and maybe your murder, too. The problem is, between the paper's sleazy management, bitter rival columnists, and the psychos who read your column, I've got more suspects than Walgreen's has Rolaids, and so far, I've only ruled out Ann and Abby.

Baffled in Boston,

Scotty"
