Pursued by both her estranged husband and a psychotic killer who is obsessed with his prey, Kate must fight to solve the puzzle of the past - uncovering a sickening betrayal and a truth more horrifying than she could ever have imagined.

Critic Reviews:

"An exhilarating ride with plenty to satisfy even the most demanding conspiracy theorists - in a similar vein to Michael Crichton and Dan Brown, and then some! I found myself rushing through the last few chapters as the pace increased and every moment was full of tension. Brilliant stuff." (Elizabeth Haynes, best-selling author of Into the Darkest Corner)

"A fast-paced conspiracy thriller that stays suspenseful and unsettling to the very last page." (Emlyn Rees, best-selling author of Hunted)

"A high octane, action-packed thriller.... There is so much action and intrigue in this book and every scene is driven by a powerful emotion, such as lust, love or savage hatred." (First Choice)

"A fast-paced rollercoaster thriller - MEGA Book of the Month!" (LoveReading.co.uk)

Members Reviews:

Improbable and silly

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

The thriller plot had real potential and was compelling at the start, but it ended up turning on several completely improbable coincidences--almost insultingly contrived. The love/sex writing was junior-high level smarmy (at one point the main character makes a crack to herself about the size of her soon-to-be-ex-husband's penis--really?). Characters are stereotyped, and there's a lot of melodramatic shrieking at the end ("Jack! Oh, Jack!").

What do you think your next listen will be?

Something that's written for grown-ups.

What three words best describe Antonia Beamishs voice?

Plummy and nice.

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

Sadness at what the publishing industry has come to.

Started well, but became very unrealistic!

What did you like best about Catch Your Death? What did you like least?

This is an unusual tale that really engaged me until the later chapters. I won't give any spoilers. Suffice to say that when things really hotted-up, it repeatedly got silly. At moments of legitimate panic, the main protagonist stopped crying and worrying long enough to launch into a detailed chat! Also, there were sloppy faults in the Police procedures, one glaringly huge.

Not their best.

I've listened to a few of this pair's books. This one was disappointing in comparison. Rather far-fetched story.

Antonia Beamish is a good narrator.

Publisher's Summary:

Be careful what you wish for...

Chanel Munro has landed her dream job as a junior resident doctor at the prestigious Sydney Harbour Hospital. Only two years out from medical school, she can't believe she's been chosen by the highly respected Doctor Leo Baker to be part of his elite team.

But an esteemed position on Doctor Baker's team doesn't come without sacrifice. It soon becomes clear her boss expects her to provide him with certain favors and he's not talking about volunteering for the coffee run.

Scared, angry and confused, Chanel is at a loss what to do. She refuses to give in to blackmail, but if she takes her complaint to the medical board and they don't believe her, her career will be in ruins. The years of study and sacrifice will be for nothing. Vowing to steer clear of him until she can come up with a viable plan, she keeps a low profile and puts all of her energies into the job that she loves.

But patients are dying strange and unpredictable deaths under Doctor Baker's care and she can't help but wonder why. It's ludicrous to suggest he's at fault. Notwithstanding his personal failings, he's an exceptional doctor. As the death toll continues to climb, Chanel takes her concerns to the police.

Detective Sergeant Bryce Sutcliffe of the City of Sydney Police Station is skeptical of Chanel's claims. Despite the fact he's drawn to her earthly beauty, he can't help but wonder if there isn't more behind her complaint. When the wife of a New South Wales senator dies under Doctor Baker's care, Bryce is forced to pay attention.

Could the girl with the compelling eyes have been telling the truth? Could the Sydney Harbour Hospital's most highly respected doctor be a murderer?

Captain Carina Mitela of the Praetorian Guard Special Forces is in trouble - one military colleague has tried to kill her, and another has set a trap to incriminate her in a conspiracy to topple the government of Roma Nova.

Founded 1,600 years ago by Roman dissidents and ruled by women, Roma Nova barely survived a devastating coup d'état 30 years ago. Carina swears to prevent a repeat and not merely for love of country. Seeking help from a not quite legal old friend could wreck her marriage to the enigmatic Conrad.

Proscribed and operating illegally, she risks being terminated by both security services and conspirators. As she struggles to overcome the desperate odds and save her beloved Roma Nova and her own life, she faces the ultimate betrayal....

Alison Morton grew up in West Kent. She completed a BA in French, German and economics and, 30 years later, an MA in history. She now lives in France with her husband. A Roman nut since age 11, she has visited sites throughout Europe including the alma mater, Rome. But it was walking on the mosaics at Ampurias (Spain) that triggered her wondering what a modern Roman society would be like if run by women....

Passionate and Powerful!!#

"This is an excellent book.I could hardly put it down. The chemistry of the characters was wonderful and enhanced the suspense.""A high octane, action-packed thriller.... There is so much action and intrigue in this book and every scene is driven by a powerful emotion, such as lust, love or savage hatred.

"I was provided this audio book at no charge by the Author/narrator in exchange for an unbiased review "

Good as a book, even better as an Audio Book

Would you listen to Perfiditas again? Why?

Listening to the entire series (recorded so far) on Audible while laid up in bed for a few days 'unavoidable rest' was a fantastic few days of entertainment. I thoroughly enjoyed the company of Ms Morton's characters - now then Audible, where's the rest of the series?

What was one of the most memorable moments of Perfiditas?

A 1005 all-round good book - from 'cover to cover' - all of it too exciting to single out particular scenes!

What does Caitlin Thorburn bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you had only read the book?

Very Good. She has a nice, relaxed voice.

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

If this was a hardcopy book I would have been turning the pages as quickly as possible to find out what happened next!

Any additional comments?

Brilliant. (says it all)

Publisher's Summary:

Navy helicopter pilot Lt. Alison Malone has been assigned to a search and rescue team based at Naval Air Station Fallon, Nevada, near the rugged peaks of the Sierra Nevada, and far from her former elite H-60 squadron. A rule follower by nature, Alison is exasperated and outraged every time she flies with her mission commander, "Boomer" Marks, for whom military procedures are merely a suggestion. Alison is desperate to be transferred out of the boonies, where careers stagnate, and back to her life and fiancé in San Diego.

Alison's defenses start to slip when she meets mountain guide Will Cavanaugh during a particularly dicey mission. Will introduces her to a wild, beautiful world of adventure that she has never known before. Stranded on a mountain during a sudden dangerous blizzard, Alison questions every truth she thought she knew about herself. When Will braves the storm to save her life, she must confront the fact that she has been living a lie. But is it too late to change course?

Full of action and adventure, dangerous and heart-stopping rescues, blizzards and floods, family secrets and second chances, Clear to Lift is a thrilling woman's journey as she finds confidence, truth, love, and herself against the majestic backdrop of the Sierra Nevada.

Critic Reviews:

"A much-needed voice and perspective in contemporary women's fiction." (Library Journal)

Do The Right Thing

Where does Clear to Lift rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far?

Book 1 Hover was excellent and this book follows the pace of book 1.

I am a huge fan of reader Angela Dawe, she does male voices so very well. Ms Dawe does a wonderful job of bring you into a Search and Recuse situation as if you were right there in the helo cockpit. Good job by author as I didn't know how she would follow up in this story.

What did you like best about this story?

I love the dialogue in the helicopter on a recuse mission. Fast pace as you learn about the different areas of S and R. Note: the bakery in Bishop is a very real great place.

Note: I do use the new 1.25x speed to get all the action the author intended.

Which scene was your favorite?

when Clark can't check the "no joy" scene, breaks your heart.

Title: SEAL Team Bravo: Black Ops - Raid on Afghanistan

Author: Eric Meyer

Narrator: Roy Wells

Format: Unabridged

Length: 9 hrs and 58 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-29-16

Publisher: Swordworks Books

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 2 votes

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense

Publisher's Summary:

They are the best of the best, the Navy SEALs. The world's most elite fighting force. A vital kill-mission inside Afghanistan uncovers an unexpected and deadly plot to use a nuclear weapon. A weapon that could cost thousands of American lives. Once more, the Navy SEALs are called into action.

Bravo Platoon, SEAL Team 7, parachutes into action. Yet a question mark hangs over Chief Petty Officer Kyle Nolan. A question mark over his health, and his ability to hold the platoon together. Can he still cut it after the murder of his wife tore him apart? If he comes unstuck during the mission, the lives of them all are in danger. With no time to make changes, Nolan stays in place. The mission must continue, the stakes are too high, the enemy vicious and clever enemy. Bravo face a succession of daunting and overwhelming obstacles before they can uncover the truth. When they do find it, even their commanders refuse to believe the damning evidence that Bravo sends back. Alone and unaided, they press forward to pursue their enemy into the snowy wastes of the Afghan borderlands, the Hindu Kush, to try to prevent a catastrophic terrorist attack.

This action packed novel explores the shadowy and violent world of the Navy SEALs in a story that is as exciting as the actions of the SEALs themselves.

Members Reviews:

Powerful story

I found this to be a well written book with lots of apparently authentic action and danger. My only complaint is that I would like to see more "backstory " on the characters. These are men who have chosen to lead very difficult, dangerous lives to protect us. I grasp the mindset that is necessary for battle, but that is not all that these men are. Without more insight into the characters they come across as somewhat two dimensional.

A Seal Team Bravo Novel

EM has written a Seal Team novel covering operations in South America and Afghanistan. During the recovery from South American one of the Seals wife is killed in a drive by shooting. The Seal Team begins a hunt for those responsible for the drive by shooting. They discover a contact between the shooting and a drug smuggler in Afghanistan. This is an excellent read for the genre..... ER

Action all the way

This book is non-stop action with well developed characters. It kept my interest and had me turning pages well into the night to find out what happened next. I noticed a few missing words here and there, but not enough to spoil my overall enjoyment of the story. I'll definitely be reading more of Eric Meyer's work.

Wonderful book

This SEAL Team Bravo are all terrific. Their love of their country and the love of each SEAL is powerful. Nolan Talley,Brice and the rest of them work together and their love shows clearly with each assignment will continue to read every book this author wrote and writes. Excellent

Action-Filled to the End

Another exciting story of the US Navy SEALS in modern wars. It is action packed right from the start and the author keeps the tension high right to the last page. I was sad when the stroy ended, but happy to begin the next installment.

Title: Secrets of Death

Subtitle: Cooper and Fry, Book 16

Author: Stephen Booth

Narrator: Mike Rogers

Format: Unabridged

Length: 9 hrs and 2 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-16-16

Publisher: Hachette Audio UK

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense

Publisher's Summary:

Secrets of Death is the stunning new Cooper & Fry thriller from master crime writer Stephen Booth.

Set in the beautiful and atmospheric Peak District. Detective Inspector Ben Cooper and his team in Derbyshire's E Division are back to solve a puzzling new mystery.

Critic Reviews:

"Booth skilfully portrays a stunning landscape with a dark heart that conceals secrets, vendettas and revenge." (Daily Mail on The Corpse Bridge)

Members Reviews:

First class narration

Would you listen to Secrets of Death again? Why?

Possibly. There are very few books that I would read or listen to more than once, but this may be one of the exceptions. The narrator brings the characters to life with perfection and has the most wonderful voice to listen to.

Any additional comments?

I always enjoy Stephen Booth books, but this is the first one I have had on audiobook, I was a bit unsure about having someone else read the book to me but I am pleased to say that I thoroughly enjoyed it and listened to the whole book over a course of three days and really had to force myself to stop or I would have completed the whole book over one night. I have to say Mike Rogers is by far one of the best readers I have come across the characters are easy to recognise when he does the spoken parts which he does without forcing accents or male/female voices and still makes the whole drama come to life. I will definitely be searching for more of his work.

"Audio Page Turner"

If you could sum up Secrets of Death in three words, what would they be?

Familiar Riveting Suspense

What other book might you compare Secrets of Death to, and why?

I'd compare it to Corpse Bridge, because the same bridge is mentioned & Cooper & Fry still work in different cities but come together & help one another to solve this mystery thriller.

Have you listened to any of Mike Rogerss other performances? How does this one compare?

Not heard his other performances, but in this one he was really good and kept you hooked and interested. Expressive and not monotone in the least.

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Fry revisits E-division & helps investigate a "suicide epidemic" stretching a wide distance.

Any additional comments?

the story line Keeps you hooked and in suspense wondering until the end,I do wish that Fry returned to Edendale's E-division permanently.

A Peak District travel guide !

Very slow to get going and far too much padding. More like a travel guide to Derbyshire. I know the peak is beautiful but I bought this novel to enjoy the the detective mystery.

Very disappointed.

Particularly unusual storyline!

Rather disturbing in parts but very inventive and leaves me wanting a speedy release of the next instalment!

Title: Liberty's Last Stand

Subtitle: Tommy Carmellini, Book 7

Author: Stephen Coonts

Narrator: Eric G. Dove

Format: Abridged

Length: 9 hrs and 20 mins

Language: English

Release date: 06-13-16

Publisher: Brilliance Audio

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 8 votes

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense

Publisher's Summary:

New York Times bestselling author Stephen Coonts delivers another nail-biting thriller starring CIA Director Jake Grafton and his right-hand man, Tommy Carmellini.

The president of the United States stands on an outdoor stage, flanked by powerful members of his administration and party. Television crews are preparing for broadcast. High above the stage, on a nearby rooftop, a decorated sniper adjusts the scope on his rifle.

Afterwards, America will never be the same.

Jake Grafton and Tommy Carmellini suddenly find themselves on the wrong side of the law when a public act of violence throws the country into chaos just before a presidential election. After martial law is declared and rioting begins, Grafton and Carmellini must risk everything to unravel a massive conspiracy and help a new resistance movement rise up against an unimaginable enemy....

Members Reviews:

Conspiracy theory plot needs better foundation

Plot Summary: America's first African American President, a Liberal, declares martial law to prevent a "Right Wing" takeover of government. To ensure security, he rounds up many "Partriotic" Americans including Jake Grafton and attempts to coerce them into admitting their part in the conspiracy. In response, Texas secedes, and Tommy Carmelini walks away from the CIA, and hatches a plot to spring Grafton. As the book unfolds the Patriots attempt to take back the country.

As a loyal Grafton/Carmelini reader from the days of "Flight of the Intruder", I tried to hang in there but eventually the implausibility of the plot overwhelmed my "suspension of disbelief". Perhaps I am a naive conservative.

While it is interesting to see a major fiction writer attempt to mainstream several right wing conspiracy theories, the book suffers from the same plot problems as left wing conspiracy theory based novels: A heavy dependence on the ideas that:

1. The other side is not just wrong but evil. This is an important distinction because ignorance and evil require very different types of responses.

2. The other side is out to subjugate us: take away our freedom of speech and association; take away our liberty (autonomy), and take away our guns (more right than left for this one).

3. It is up to us and our fellow patriots - meaning those who agree with us - to fight to hold/ take back/ restore the true vision of America. This presumes "our" vision is the only true and accurate vision.

Perhaps I am just exhausted from the mutual commitment to hyperbole and hysteria of the current political climate but I think the set up could have been more skillfully executed with some evidence-based plot development. Instead we dive headlong into the conspiracy-realized. If I agreed with more of the underlying conspiracy theories, perhaps I might have gotten farther along into the book. However, with the weak set-up, this plot just doesn't fly for me. Our point of departure feels more like an angry rehash of the Clinton/Obama/Fox conspiracies. Too bad. I usually enjoy Carmelini. Returned this one for credit.

Newly appointed police inspector Domenic Jejeune doesn't mind ruffling a few feathers. His success has elevated him into a poster boy for the police. The problem is Jejeune doesn't really want to be a detective at all; he much prefers watching birds.

For in the case of the Saltmarsh birder murders, the victims may not be the only casualties....

Members Reviews:

Good mystery, superb narrator - excellent listen!

Not exactly a page turner but intriguing enough to keep me listening, especially after a somewhat slow start. Stay with it - as you get to know the well drawn characters it gets more exciting. Steve Burrows is an excellent writer - his prose is almost poetic.

An environmental theme with some interesting bits of information about birds. The way the murder is solved is very cool.

David Thorpe is one of the best narrators and does a splendid job in this book. His regional accents are fun and distinctive and I like the way he does Canadian.

I highly recommend A Siege of Bitterns to lovers of British mysteries, especially those who like intelligent plots and are fond of nature. I hope many readers discover this book and enjoy it as much as I did.

For. The. Birds.

I'm not a birder, but I know the breed very well (I'm married to one!). There's a lot of this book that will appeal to the zealous former and be all too familiar to the puzzled latter. Steve Burrows does a good job of presenting the enthusiasts' world and some of its inhabitants.

That said, I didn't find "A Siege of Bitterns" to be very good mystery. We're told often that the Inspector - who would rather be birding - is a genius at his job, but obscure and coy hints of the nature of this talent (past and present) become just annoying. Clues are kept close to the author's chest, and red herrings (is there a bird equivalent?) abound and distract. It seems to me that Burrows commits a real mystery "no-no" in not giving the reader sufficient information to have a chance at solving the case.

There are some interesting and well-presented characters to be sure, but the whole book is just too long and doesn't offer much suspense or action. The narrator has a pleasant enough voice, but some characters are too similarly read to be distinguishable, and the accents are often just plain odd.

Unless you really will do just about anything "for the birds", I wouldn't recommend this!

Good Mystery, with Clues to Discover

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Yes, there were a lot of different turns in the plot, and subtly buried details that made it important to stay attentive

Birds Identify the Murderer

This is the first in a series of three books about a serious "birder"detective new to a small community on the coast in England. Being from Canada, it takes him a while to know the land. He's a celebrity for solving earlier murders and must work hard to uphold his reputation although he doesn't care to be in the limelight.
