Members Reviews:

Classic Noir

If you haven't found the Walker series, start at the beginning and work your way here. At least that's what I'd do even though there are no give aways in this book that would spoil the earlier ones for you. The Walker books are solidly in the tradition of the best early detective novels.and well worth reading if you like such books as I do.

Back from the Dead

A SMILE ON THE FACE OF THE TIGER by Loren D. Estleman is Amos Walker at his detecting best. A cold case comes to light as Walker goes looking for Eugene Booth who shouldn't be missing.

Booth has a writer's dream come true when his forty-year old pulp fiction title has interested a New York publisher.

But career infusion be damn, staying alive is more important. Was the fiction piece a thinly disguised version of the truth? Does Booth know more than he will admit about an old murder as a hit-man awaits trial wanting to sell his own story?

Through numerous Amos Walker stories Loren Estleman keeps us turning the pages.

Nash Black, author of WRITING AS A SMALL BUSINESS and SINS OF THE FATHERS.

Another Winner

This is the 15th adventure of Amos Walker. Walker, a Detroit private eye, is a throwback and heir apparent to Raymond Chandler's Philip Marlowe, without being a cheap cardboard imitation. This series is "hard-boiled" in the best sense of the word - engaging, witty, poignant, cynical, timely and always entertaining. In a genre in which such series and their protagonists run out steam after a handful of books, Estleman and Amos show no sign of mediocrity or stumbling into the literary sunset.

In this book Walker is hired by a New York publisher, with whom he has a "past", to find a pulp-fiction author, whose literary history is was much more typical of the genre - see above. Said author's fifteen minutes of fame was brief and meteoric; now he is among the missing and Walker's client wants to gain his permission to reprint his books. Sounds simple and straightforward, but this an Amos Walker case and things quickly become much more complicated.

Locating the reclusive author proves a not so onerous task for Amos, but that opens up the proverbial can of worms and Amos finds himself embroiled in a 50+ year old murder case, police corruption, Detroit history and the tentacles of the mafia. The secondary cast of characters is fascinating; the twists and turns in the plot will hold your attention; and Walker's dialogue and observations will keep you chuckling. A Smile On The Face Of The Tiger is another great mystery in a great series.

Amos Walker gets into a story within a story

I picked up this book because of the title. I opened it and read:

"Bang! Bang!Bang! Bang!

Four shots ripped into my groin, and I was off on the biggest adventure of my life.

But first let me tell you a little about myself.

--Max Shulman, Sleep Till Noon (1950)"

Estleman can't top that, I thought, and then I read his opening lines:

"I thought I'd never see her again. But never is longer than forever."

And I was off on another adventure with one of my favorite PIs, Amos Walker.

Title: The Car Thief

Author: Theodore Weesner

Narrator: Paul Michael Garcia

Format: Unabridged

Length: 12 hrs and 33 mins

Language: English

Release date: 08-15-13

Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc.

Ratings: 2.5 of 5 out of 2 votes

Genres: Fiction, Literary

Publisher's Summary:

Described as "one of the best coming-of-age novels of the twentieth century," Theodore Weesner's modern American classic is now on audio!

It's 1959. Sixteen-year-old Alex Housman has just stolen his 14th car and frankly doesn't know why. His divorced, working-class father grinds out the night shift at the local Chevy plant in Detroit and looks forward to the flask in his glove compartment and the open bottles of booze in his Flint, Michigan, home. Broke and fighting to survive, Alex and his father face the realities of estrangement, incarceration, and even violence as their lives unfold toward the climactic episode that a New York Times reviewer called "one of the most profoundly powerful in American fiction."

In this rich, beautifully crafted story, Weesner has written a transcendent piece of literature in deceptively simple language, painting a powerful portrait of a father and a son otherwise invisible among the mundane, everyday details of life in blue-collar America. It is a true and enduring American classic.

Members Reviews:

The last publisher review that gets me intrigued.

This book wasnt for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

English student assignment on how to write about the malaise that too many directionless youths experience. The "Outsiders" it is not.

Would you ever listen to anything by Theodore Weesner again?

Not likely.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

Well spoken, however, it is hard to polish shale.

Any additional comments?

Gave it several shots while traveling to and from work. Three hours in. Almost fell asleep. Won't finish.

Title: Honour

Author: Elif Shafak

Narrator: Colleen Pendergast

Format: Unabridged

Length: 13 hrs and 31 mins

Language: English

Release date: 08-06-13

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 4 votes

Genres: Fiction, Literary

Publisher's Summary:

From Elif Shafak, the award-winning author of The Forty Rules of Love and The Bastard of Istanbul, Honour is a novel of love, betrayal, and a clash of cultures.

When Pembe leaves the Kurdish village of her birth, and her twin sister with it, it is for love. She follows her husband, Adem, to London with the hope of making a new life, but the family soon faces a stark choice: to stay loyal to the old traditions or try their best to fit in. When Adem abandons his family, it is Iskender, Pembes eldest son, who must step in and prevent shame from falling on the family name. And when Pembe begins a chaste affair with a man named Elias, Iskender will discover that you could love someone with all your heart and yet be ready to hurt them. Trapped by the mistakes of the past, the Toprak children find their lives shattered and transformed by a brutal act of murder. A powerful novel set in Turkey and London in the 1970s, Honour explores pain and loss, loyalty and betrayal, the trials of the immigrant, the clash of tradition and modernity, as well as the love and heartbreak that too often tears families apart.

Elif Shafak is the acclaimed author of The Bastard of Istanbul and The Forty Rules of Love and is the most widely-read female novelist in Turkey. Her work has been translated into more than 30 languages. She is a contributor for The Telegraph, Guardian and the New York Times and her TED talk on the politics of fiction has received 500,000 viewers since July 2010. She is married with two children and divides her time between Istanbul and London.

Critic Reviews:

"A powerful book; thoughtful, provoking and compassionate (Joanne Harris, author of Chocolat)

Fascinating and gripping - a wonderful novel (Rosamund Lupton, author of Sister)

Rich and wide as the Euphrates river along whose banks it begins and ends, Elif Shafak has woven with masterful care and compassion one immigrant family's heartbreaking story - a story nurtured in the terrible silences between men and women trying to grow within ancient ways, all the while growing past them. I loved this book (Sarah Blake, author of The Postmistress)

[Elif Shafak] joins writers such as Hanif Kureishi, Zadie Smith, Monica Ali, Aamer Hussein, Andrea Levy, Hanan al-Shakyh and Leila Aboulela, who offer us fictional glimpses of London's Others (The Independent)

Exotic, evocative and utterly gripping (The Times)

Lushly and memorably magic-realist... This is an extraordinarily skilfully crafted and ambitious narrative (The Independent)

The book calls to mind The Color Purple in the fierceness of its engagement with male violence and its determination to see its characters to a better place. But Shafak is closer to Isabel Allende in spirit, confidence and charm. Her portrayal of Muslim cultures, both traditional and globalising, is as hopeful as it is politically sophisticated. This alone should gain her the world audience she has long deserved (The Guardian)

Moving, subtle and ultimately hopeful, Honour is further proof that Shafak is the most exciting Turkish novelist to reach western readers in years (Irish Times)

Vivid storytelling...

Treffsicher und bitterböse - wunderbar! Die Erzählungen einer sehr starken Frau aus einer Zeit, als Frauen noch schwach und hilfsbedürftig zu sein hatten. Dorothy Parker sagt die Wahrheit: über die Verlogenheit der Leute, die das Geld haben, über die Demütigung der Leute, die kein Geld haben, über die Hoffnung der Menschen, die sich nach Liebe sehnen, und über den Absturz der Menschen, die diese Liebe nicht bekommen.

Publisher's Summary:

A distinctive modern version of an ancient Indian epic and one of the world's most popular love stories.

Part 1: Teenage Sita sees the most beautiful stranger in the street. She'll marry him or die. He is Prince Rama, heir to the throne, but his stepmother wants Rama sent into exile.

Part 2: Sita has been abducted by a ruthless warlord. Rama enlists the help of an army of monkeys to get her back. But has she betrayed him with the evil ruler of Lanka?

The ancient Indian epic The Ramayana is one of the world's most popular love stories. The separation and reunion of two lovers gives it perennial appeal but Rama's jealousy and Sita 's metamorphosis into a strong independent woman gives the story a contemporary feel. Outstanding composer Niraj Chag creates original music. By Amber Lone.
