Publisher's Summary:

On the celebrated Greek island of Mykonos, a legendary nightclub owner is found in his homebludgeoned to death. In his lifetime he had helped transform Mykonos from an obscure, impoverished Aegean island into a world-renowned summertime playground for the world's rich and powerful, which made the Mykonian people some of the wealthiest in Greece. All evidence points to obvious killers, but the murder has put into play some long-hidden, politically explosive secrets and drawn a dangerous foreign investor to the island paradise.

Chief Inspector Andreas Kaldis, feared head of Greece's special crimes division, is certain there is a far more complex solution to the murder, and he vows to find it. His quest for answers, amid the entrenched cultural contradictions that give Mykonos so much of its magic, has him battling ruthless opportunists preying on his country's weakened financial condition. And he soon learns that there is an unexpected high price to pay for his curiosity as he becomes locked in a war with a powerful, clandestine international force willing to do whatever it takes to recast and control Mykonos - no matter what the cost, no matter who must die.

Too out there

Even though Audible doesn't show this as a series, this is the second book with Detective Holly Jennings. Each book could be read independently but then you might miss some of the details of her home life and why the appearance of a certain character in this book affected her so much. The first book was Daddy's Home which I liked a lot better than this one.

Someone is going around killing members of the horse racing community. Some of them were innocent, some not. Since I'm not familiar with horse racing I don't know if some of the things described in this book are true or not surrounding the racing industry. The plot was just a little too out there for me and I had no trouble putting it down at times because I didn't want to hear what came next.

The narrator did an okay job, but nothing spectacular. The male voices could have used some work.

good read

I liked this book, but it ran on in parts and although I won't say what (don't want to ruin the plot for anyone), there is one thing that is truly hard to believe, you will know it when you hear/read it...

Needs editing.

What disappointed you about Only the Innocent?

I could not enjoy the story due to the poor editing. I had to discard listening in the early part .A character was described as 'looking out a window while walking around a room doing various things.' All that was said in one sentence.Aside from the visual image of a buffoon walking into furniture trying to do things with their head cranked around looking out a window, I''m supposed to believe that an intelligent character was doing that. A good editor would have pointed out the wisdom of separating the actions. When I struck the second such poorly constructed sentence that even a program such as Grammarly would have pointed out was clumsy construction, I returned the book for a refund.

What was most disappointing about Rachel Abbotts story?

Badly edited.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Disappointment.

Engaging book undermined by cringe-worthy narrator

What did you like most about Only the Innocent?

This was a good story line with some sympathetic characters that made me want to persevere with the book - more of that later in the review!

Who was your favorite character and why?

Tom was an interesting character drawn more deeply than many policemen in crime fiction and I found myself caring about what he thought and how he would manage his situation.

How could the performance have been better?

Sadly the narrator was the wrong choice for this book. He couldn't bring to life the female characters and instead it was like listening to a comedic rendering of a bunch of insipid females (think David Walliams in Little Britain!) with the one exception of the character of Beatrice, who was given a more forthright and punchy tone. If I were the author of this book I would be pretty upset that my work had been so diminished by such a reading.

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

Yes, from a story-line perspective I did want to work through it in one sitting. However I really had to steel my nerves to endure the narration such was the intrusion of the different tones used, and had it not been for the good story then I would have given up.

Any additional comments?

I think it would be worth re-narrating this book with with a male reader who has the ability to portray female characters and do them, the story and the author justice.

Good story let down by shocking narration :(

I liked the story. It had an interesting plot, plausible characters and the pace was fine. However the narration was just terrible. The male narrator's rendition of the female characters was almost comedic - think David Walliams 'I am a lay-dee' or Hinge and Bracket.

Title: The Puzzle of the Blue Banderilla

Publisher's Summary:

Hildegarde Withers heads down Mexico way where the death in the afternoon involves neither a matador nor a bull. Inspector Oscar Piper is off on a junket to Mexico in the summer of 1937 (surrounded by a bunch of Democrats, huffed Miss Withers) when a customs inspector on a train headed for Mexico City sniffs a very potent bottle of cheap perfume and promptly drops dead. Quite naturally, Oscar telegraphs Hildegarde in Manhattan about the perfume and quite naturally Miss Withers packs her bags and heads south of the border, figuring Oscar is out of his depth if he has to rely on deductive reasoning rather than a rubber hose. Why any of the occupants of the train should want to kill a harmless Mexican customs inspector is so puzzling that everyone assumes that the real intended victim is a self-made rich american woman who seemingly has rededicated her life to shopping. Her husband ought to be the prime suspect but he seems devoted to her, although he was spotted giving cash to a pretty young redhead when he thought no one was looking. Then there were the two American fast buck artists who figured they could get rich buying up all the gasoline-powered generators in Mexico on the eve of a strike by utility workers. They looked especially guilty when their shady, double-crossing associate - a somewhat accomplished ladies' man - becomes the second person to die. A blue banderilla, usually used to slow bulls down, is driven through his back during a Sunday afternoon bullfight in Mexico City. Miss Withers borrows a technique from Sherlock Holmes himself to show that a banderilla makes for a lousy murder weapon, a conclusion also reached by a rather odd young Mexican man whose English seems to come and go. First published in 1937, this lighthearted mystery displays all the charm that made Miss Withers Anthony Boucher's favorite female sleuth as well as a favorite of moviegoers during the early days of the talkies.

Five Stars

Perfect from start to finish

Rather disappointing entry in the series

I knew of the Hildegarde Withers mysteries through the Edna May Oliver movies. This is the first of the novels that I've read (I think it came up under my Amazon recommendations). Although Hildegarde -- a middle-aged school teacher -- is an interesting character and the interplay with her platonic boy friend, Inspector Oscar Piper of the NYPD, is well done, overall I found the book to be disappointing. The Mexican setting might have seemed exotic to readers when the book was first published in 1937, but doesn't have as much interest today (although, as the other reviewer notes, the account of the bull fight is detailed and interesting (and possibly off-putting for some readers)). The mystery is at best so-so, with the resolution being a real letdown. [Slight spoiler alert] I think it's a bit of a cheat when the murder's motivation is essentially that the person is psychotic. It is a short read, at only 157 pages. I'm not giving up on Hildegarde just yet; I intend to read "The Penguin Pool Murder," which was her first appearance, to see if I like that one better.

I do want to praise Rue Morgue Press for the quality of the publication. I remember them from years ago as a mail-order mystery novel dealer. They have apparently since branched off into publishing. This is a nice, sturdy, easy to read paperback.

Publisher's Summary:

In the small hours of a Sunday morning in the city of Bath a policeman on beat duty is shot dead by an unseen gunman - the third killing of an officer in Somerset in a matter of weeks.

The emergency services are summoned. Ambitious to arrest the Somerset Sniper, the duty inspector, Ken Lockton, seals the crime scene, which is confined by the river on one side and a massive retaining wall on the other. He discovers the murder weapon in a garden - and is himself attacked and left for dead.

Enter Peter Diamond, Bath's burly CID chief. Middle-aged and not built for action, he pits himself and his team against the killer in a hunt that will test his physical powers to the limit....

Critic Reviews:

"As ever, Lovesey produces a well-crafted mystery with twists and turns to tax the brain...a perfect puzzle from the master of the genre" (Bella)

"Lovesey proves a dab hand at dry humour" (Time Out)

"A stand-out instalment of one of the most enjoyable police series around" (Morning Star)

"You want a novel written by a master of his craft. You want characters sympathetically but never sentimentally drawn, with believable relationships, good and bad. You want a topical crime and even if it looks as if a serial killer is at work, you don't want to sigh at the vicious predictability of the murders. You want action, but never excessive violence, and certainly no gratuitous, stomach-churning detail. You want pace, controlled as if by a conductor on his podium. You want an always readable style, with the author assuming you've got an intelligent, educated mind, but never being self-indulgent and signalling every clever turn of expression with a wave. You want a frisson of pleasure at the entirely satisfying denouement.You want Peter Lovesey's latest Peter Diamond investigation, Cop to Corpse" (Shots

)

Members Reviews:

Peter Diamond has lost his sparkle

It felt as if this book was written by a different author than the books at the beginning of the series. The characters were not as developed and the story seemed to wander. I think I will go back and listen to the earlier books but I will not listen to this book again.

Lovesey always has good story to tell

Lovesey always has good story to tell, cops and robber's with twist & turn to keep you listening.

Well narrated with good range of voices.

Another good story line

Once again, Peter Lvesay has produced an interesting storyline with enough twists to keep the listener or reader guessing.

Just Right

Where does Cop to Corpse rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far?

A story with enough contrast between thought and action to keep the pace moving. The plot is gentle enough to keep the blood pressure under control and at the same time has enough red herrings to hold the interest.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Cop to Corpse?

Diamond is fallible enough to be believable. Some of the action scenes are well written and portray a man past his best physically but on top of his game mentally.

Have you listened to any of Michael Tudor Barness other performances? How does this one compare?

MTB never disapoints - good characterisation without descending in to caricatures

Any additional comments?

Black Marketeers in Occupied France

I really love this series and this book was another good one. I think the narrator with his French accent adds so much to the series.

This is really about the Black Market in France during WW II. It starts out very simply with a man found murdered on a Carousel and a woman murdered in an apartment. At first there seems little to connect the two crimes but as the investigation moves forward we find out that the two are very much connected.

The plot takes amazing twist and turns as more characters get added to the story. There is no doubt that this is more complex in plot development than most standard mysteries. There are a whole host of characters each of whom plays a different but vital roll in the plot. But the murders are all related to a black market ring operating out of Paris and it is all tied up in a neat package at the end when everyone gathers at the Carousel for exposing of the murderer.

Publisher's Summary:

"Look for us when the moon is new. Look for us, but keep your distance. We're the Midnight Men, and the prey we're stalking could be you."

In the private eye business, mistakes can be fatal. Just ask Amos Walker.

First, he pulls his gun on a man he thought was a member of a group of potential truck hijackers. Even goes so far as to fire a round at the suspicious driver to make him step from his car. Only trouble is, the guy - Van Sturtevant - is a cop.Then, after Sturtevant is crippled in a shootout with a gang of black militants, Walker -- figuring he owes the cop for letting him off the hook -- offers his investigatory services to the officer's pretty, blond wife, Karen. At no charge.If Walker had been paying attention, he would have seen the warning signs. But now bodies are going to start piling up, with politicians, private eyes, and members of Detroit's Finest on the giving and receiving ends.Yes, mistakes can be fatal. And if Walker doesn't watch his back, the next one will definitely be his last....

Members Reviews:

Someone was standing on my eyelids....

Amos Walker is back,and Loren Estleman's Detroit PI is nearly killed on a surveillance job, and subsequently drawn into the case of finding the shooters in an ambush that leaves the cop that saved Walker in a wheelchair. It's the early 80's and Walker is chasing holdout 70's violent revolutionaries, aided and obstructed by cops and a giant cowboy bounty hunter, wise-cracking all the way.

Estleman's prose is lean and hard, and his stories move. He has staked out the gritty and unforgivng terrain of the Motor City and this is hardboiled fiction done like it should be done. No one is working this genre any better.

Mostly unbelievable

Unlike his first two Amos Walker books where Amos was a believable private eye, this one has Amos larger than life and surviving like a science fiction character. That kind of spoils an otherwise steady mystery.

Challenging

I love Estleman's writing, thus I enjoyed this book and would recommend it to others--it definitely is challenging. Write on.

Midnight Man

Amos Walker writes in an interesting way for Kindle reading. I can enjoy some and then put it down for the next time available. Reading this book makes one want to read more from the same author.

Second best in the Walker series

I thought this was the second best in the Walker series (Silent Thunder being my favorite). It is dark, violent and provides an interesting window into Detroit in the early 80's.

From the Ivory Tower

Harvard professor Wilson Chaney has a secret and somebody knows it. His adulterous affair with a freshman ended just weeks before she wound up dead. The sole trace of his infatuation is a stack of missing love letters - and theyve fallen into the wrong hands

To the Grave.

Carlotta Carlyle takes the case to find his blackmailer and retrieve the letters. Six-foot-one and red-haired, this private eye doesnt blink when the going gets tough. But can she trust her ultra-secretive client when a suspect turns up dead?

One False Move and This Profs Headed for a Fall.

Now Carlotta must zero in on Bostons mean streets and talk her way into Harvards inner sanctums, uncovering in the process just how intertwined the two are - and just how deadly the stakes can be...

Critic Reviews:

No question: Carlottas tenth case is her best to date. Edgar nominators, take note. (Kirkus Reviews starred review)

Carlotta Carlyle combines the sensitivity of Robert Parkers Spenser with the stubbornness of Paretskys V.I. Warshawski, and shes rapidly carving out a place of her own. (Chicago Tribune)

Members Reviews:

Engaging, well paced female PI / Cop mystery

The Carlotta Carlyle series is one of the best of the strong, independent, female private investigator / cop genre. In the tenth installment, Deep Pockets, Carlotta's case involving a Harvard professor is a referral from her new boyfriend, FBI Agent Leon Wells. Carlotta has little empathy for her new client, not only because of his elitist affiliation with the "world's greatest university," but because the case involves blackmail over the client's love affair with an undergraduate student. Carlotta's uncomfortable relationship with the Harvard professor parallels her equally uncomfortable relationship with Leon. Both men represent "the establishment" to Carlotta, questioning her work methods and her independent desire to be in control.

Carlotta's case quickly expands from blackmail to murder, and introduces complications from her contacts at the Boston Police Department, a cleaning contractor, the professor's eccentric wife, and Harvard University administration. Lies of omission and double crosses by the suspects lead Carlotta in a variety of directions, including some half-truths and breaking and entering of her own. Carlotta's working activities occur against a backdrop of her relationships with Roz, her roommate, and Carlotta's unofficial little sister, Paolo, who is struggling with her awakening sexuality and puberty. As always, Sam Gianelli, Carlotta's ex-boyfriend and mob member, is also haunting her heart and her daydreams.

Deep Pockets is a fast paced, engaging read, and a great addition to this series. The characters and plot are well written and consistent, although the Harvard professor and Leon are a little flat. Carlotta is an appealing hero, largely because of her portrayal as a person with doubts and imperfections and not a superwoman. This is a very good read, relatively fast, and recommended for fans of private investigators and sleuths.

Good Read, but I wish it was longer.

Fun, scary, interesting. I like this detective. You know, it felt like first person, because her writing isintimate, but it may have been 3rd person. Been a while since I read it.

Publisher's Summary:

Homer suspects a rash of deaths near Walden Pond may not be accidental

Alice Snow is the first to die. In the morning, she and her friends at the Pond View Trailer Park watch soap operas, worrying about the lives of TVs rich and powerful. A few hours later, a hiking Homer Kelly finds Alice lying outside her trailer, head smashed and heart stopped. Though her fellow Pond View residents do not realize it, their lives are in danger too.

The state-owned park sits on Walden Pond, just north of the replica of Thoreaus log cabin. Where the philosopher once retreated to find nature is now a hive of humanity - hemmed in by a highway, a landfill, and the planned site of a new mini-mall. The trailer park stands in the developers way, and when more Pond View residents die, Homer suspects murder. The developers have no qualms about killing Concords past - might they murder its present too?

Members Reviews:

Mystery and New England Nostalgia

Jane Langton's Homer Kelly is one part absent-minded professor, one part Doctor Who (sans time travel) and one part...well, Homer Kelly. Suffering from JFS (Jessica Fletcher Syndrome), mystery and death seem to "sniff out" Homer, rather than the other way around.

The story is not just merely about scenic suburban life and the petty trifles of its inhabitants. That provides the narrative faade for an astute commentary regarding the politics of development/city planning, environmentalism and the dangers/benefits of nostalgia.

Langton's characters are vividly multi-dimensional, torn in their allegiances by both heart and mind. The author asks the reader not to pass immediate judgment, suggesting that the potential for villainy resides within us as well, under the right set of circumstances.

I think this is one of Langton's better books in the series. Highly recommended for Thoreau buffs and those readers familiar with Boston/Concord, Massachusetts.

Twenty years old, but the subject matter continues to interest

The mystery was interesting, but of even more interest was the local perspective.

There are an amazing number of people who live in Lexington, MA who spend far too much time talking about how wonderful Concord is. Somehow Lexington doesn't quite measure up to Concord with the comparison between town centers taking up far too much time.

It was refreshing to find another take on Concord. No good grocery store since the Star market closed. Too many places to buy things one wants as compared to things one needs. Shops which sell baubles, but not necessities.

Concord has a lot to recommend it, but so does Lexington and comparisons are always unfair.

So read the book for the mystery, but chuckle just a bit over a controversy which has been going on a long time.

I liked this mystery!

I loved Thoreau's Walden -- and therefore loved the backdrop of this mystery -- and I love mysteries, though I read only about 1/3 of the mysteries I pick up and this one was fun and one you can put down, as each chapter was rather a chocolate; the characters were foibled, the conversations spirited and it was engagingly plotted.

Getting better

I reviewed the other book by Helene Tursten on Audible and gave the translation a bit of a panning along with the reader but it was still a good listen.

In this latest outing for Irene Huss I am happy to report that Suzanne Toren is much improved over the previous reading. Not a top class performance but much more bearable than before. Sadly the dodgy translation remains which seems to be a bit of a feature of the newer (in English) Nordic Noir novels; Hakan Nesser suffers the same fate. A rush to translate more books perhaps?

Anyway the story is centred around a group of people who made a lot of money in the dotcom bubble of 1997 to 2000 and the revenge wrought on them some years later. The plot is good with plenty of twists leading to a satisfying ending with an actual arrest (rather than a cop out death of the primary suspect).

Overall a good listen worth your time if you are looking for something new in scandinavian crime fiction.
