Publisher's Summary:

A female psychiatrist at a state mental hospital finds herself at the center of a shadowy conspiracy in this dark and twisting tale of psychological suspense from the author of The Absence of Mercy.

Menaker State Hospital is a curse, a refuge, a prison, a necessity, a nightmare, a salvation.

When Dr. Lise Shields arrived at the correctional psychiatric facility five years ago, she was warned that many of its patients - committed by Maryland's judicial system for perpetrating heinous crimes - would never leave.

But what happens when a place like Menaker is corrupted, when it becomes a tool to silence the innocent, conceal an injustice, contain a secret? Why is it that the newest patient does not seem to belong there, that the hospital administrator has fallen silent, and that Lise is being watched by two men with seemingly lethal intent? The answers are closer than she realizes and could cost her everything she holds dear.

In this chilling follow-up to The Absence of Mercy, author John Burley - a master at medical and psychological detail - showcases the many ways in which the dangers of the outside world pale in comparison to the horrors of the human mind.

Members Reviews:

A true psychological thriller!

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

Yes! Not only was the story very intriguing, but there was also very in depth information about mental disorders especially bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. The characters are all captivating and well thought out.

What did you like best about this story?

I best enjoyed the complexity of the story. Just like an onion, as the story progressed, you kept getting into different layers of the story from the mental disorders, mob wars, cover-ups, military hero, family secrets and more. How can I pick just one?

Was The Forgetting Place worth the listening time?

Absolutely! I knew it would be a great story from the moment I read the description.

Any additional comments?

If you enjoy psychology and true psychological thrillers, you will enjoy this book.

A tad bit predictable towards the end, but def worth a read!

A bit slow paced and boring

I was expecting more suspense like the book Coma. Not here, lots of historical character development in the first two hours with barely any story development. Like a neighbor telling me their life story. Fine but what does this long story your telling me have to do with the book storyline? Dont tell me a story for the sale of telling it. I gave the book another 30 minutes and realized I was waisting my time. The only similarity to Coma this book had is it was putting me into one.

There are two narrators and the male is better. The reason I say this is the female created nasal sounding FBI characters, irritating to listen to.

Not recommended, unable to finish.

Not worth a credit.

Thought provoking

This is very thought provoking making you question a lot about what we think and believe about psychotic illnesses. I don't want to say any more as it might spoil things for readers.

There's a very unusual but interesting twist so keep reading right to the end.

Members Reviews:

Low quality audio! Good short story/book.

Is there anything you would change about this book?

Re-do the whole recording. 'The quality is deplorable, audio cut and pasted to death all thru the reading.. Differing pitch volume etc etc several repeats of words and other things wrong with it.

If youve listened to books by John G. Hartness before, how does this one compare?

I do not think there was much difference from John's earlier or later works other then that the main character is a really capable teenage girl instead of a goofy 20 something guy nor a Bubba..

Did the narration match the pace of the story?

Narration was acceptable if one is able to ignore the myriad of technical issues and plain terribly unprofessional way the audio is put together, if that makes any sense.

Was Headshot worth the listening time?

Yeah well worth it. I would probably have enjoyed it more if the whole "book" was a bit more fleshed out tho.

Any additional comments?

I am rating this offering 3 out of 5 all categories more for what the book is not and for the awful quality of the audio production then anything else.

The narration is good, not spectacular but more then adequate.

I think that Cindy could do with some more training on the torture of men.. I do not really think the .22 torture she so espouses to be the most effective. Quoting Kipling..

When you're wounded and left on Afghanistan's plains, and the women come out to cut up what remains, jest roll to your rifle and blow out your brains and go to your gawd like a soldier.

Above quote well lets just say most men will loose their shit at the thought of incensed women with sharp objects etc.. The female of the species usually being way more scary then us males.

LOVE IT!

First, I wish it was longer. Second, think of 007 as a precocious teenage sophomore girl.

Third, she has a best friend would she completely devoted to and protective of her. Fourth, remember she has all the wit and skill of 007. What do you get? A bad ass teenage girl who does has a unique job.

Sweet, Chirpy and Deadly

What did you love best about Headshot?

Having only read Bubba the Monster hunter, I loved his mirror opposite, tiny, young, and feisty. Cindy O'Shea has all the problems of any 16-year-old girl but a different sort of day job--she's an assassin. The juxtaposition of the problems was a lot of fun, and Hartness made it believable that such a young woman could do what she did.

Who was your favorite character and why?

For a secondary character, the blonde bimbo rival brings depth to Cindy as well as making the story more interesting, providing conflicts and twists that challenge everyone in the story.

Have you listened to any of Iesha Nyrees other performances before? How does this one compare?

I liked this performance, but I haven't listened to any of her other work.

Title: The Path to Freedom

Subtitle: Task Force 125, Book 1

Author: Lisa Pietsch

Narrator: Hollie Jackson

Publisher's Summary:

In the war on terror...sometimes the best weapon is a woman....

Sarah Stevens is a washed-up military cop whose life is a shambles until she is offered a position as an agent with the CIA.

The 30-year-old, overweight, down-on-her-luck Stevens goes to a secret training camp where she is transformed into a sexy and deadly agent whose mission is to stop, by any means possible, the financiers of terrorism against the United States and its allies.

Sarah soon discovers that this is an exciting new life loaded with adventure, danger, and temptations.

Members Reviews:

The Ugly Duckling Spy

If you could sum up The Path to Freedom in three words, what would they be?

Great Action Story

Who was your favorite character and why?

Definitely Sara. She's takes herself from a dumpy, dumped, out of work ex-military police officer to the honey pot in a CIA special projects team through hard work, determination and a kick-but attitude. A strong, cocky kicking but and taking names heroine that's hard not to love.

Which character as performed by Hollie Jackson was your favorite?

Still Sara although she's the narrator of the story so she gets a lot of exposure. Vince probably places a close second. An ex-marine, he's the perfect commanding office and potential love interest for our newly liberated heroine.

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

It runs nearly 8 hours, so no, unless you've got a major road trip ahead of you, it's not a one sitting read, but you won't want to hit the stop button one you've started reading.

Any additional comments?

Lisa Pietsch writes great action suspense stories and she's military trained so you an depend on the action, the tech and the toys to be believable. I loved the story, and if you're a fan of military action and techno-thriller literature I think you'll enjoy this "girl power" offering too.

A Wonderful Start To a New Series

I found this book more and more interesting as the minutes ticked by.

Discharged from a job and life she loves due to being well overweight, Sarah comes home early to be comforted by her boyfriend only to find his lover running into the bathroom. Feeling like a failure and heartbroken she places all of her worldly possessions in storage and calls the number her former Commander gives her to help get her life and weight back under control. The fun and adventure takes off from there.

Sarah is determined to do whatever it takes to stay in "Boot Camp" a sort of fat farm for ex-military, but she isn't too sure what will come after that. Almost two months later she meets Vincent in a bar and finds herself inexplicably attracted to him. She decides to leave him there, not needing the emotional complications and plays right into the hands of Task Force 125.

I loved Sarah's wit and determination to get her life back on track. I appreciated the inner struggle she went through with her self-esteem even as her body, in it's new shape, gained the wanted and unwanted attention of the men around her.

The electric dance of attraction that she and Vincent played was very nice and realistically handled.

On a whole I really enjoyed this book.

Any additional comments?

I was hooked after the first couple chapters...but after around the 5th chapter I was starting to get a little bored and I found myself hoping it would pick up. Well it did!!! A few chapters later I was on the edge of my seat! From that point on it was a non-stop ride that I didn't want to end. The narrator brought each and every character to life so completely. There were parts in the early middle that had me questioning the story but everything came together at the end. This is an absolute DON'T MISS!!

This book was provided to me by the author for an honest review.

Good Suspense

Finished this book a couple of days ago and really enjoyed it. Thought I knew the ending but I was wrong. Good characters and full of suspense and action. Would recommend this book, it was better than Rough Draft which was also good.

Interesting concept of marriage counseling

Any additional comments?

I really like how the scenario played out while the couple were going through marriage counseling. The author did a good job of ratcheting up the tension. This audiobook was provided to me for free through Audiobook Blast for my unbiased review.

Enjoyable.

While I did enjoy this, I'm still debating if this is a 3 or 4 start read!! Reason being is that despite being suspenseful, the "big reveal" was predictable and I had guessed what was happening fairly early on. Saying that, it didn't detract from the overall feel of the story, it just made for a kind of flat ending.

Plot wise (apart from the "reveal") it was fairly fast paced and suspenseful. The setting was great, a big secluded resort during a violent storm. It set the scene perfectly!! The idea behind it was also good, a retreat to save your marriage, with a 95% success rate but it's also shrouded in mystery. It gave for a very intense feel. It was the fact that it was so predictable that let it down so much.

Character wise, they were all well written and while some of them were hard to like, you still were rooting for them.

Bella's dark secret is threatening to spiral out of control - and has the power to destroy the Butler brothers' bond once and for all....

Queeny and Viv are so funny, lots of great dialogue, I was LOL quite a lot, so much so, when out with the dogs in the forest I found myself looking around to make sure no one was listening.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Yes a particular death (I won't spoil it by mentioning who), it was unnecessary and came out of the blue.

Sky Valley Cozy Mystery Cat Series

I enjoy mysteries and love them even more when cats are involved in the story. However, these book felt awkward and difficult to track with the repetition of prior sections of the current book as well prior sections from the the previous books, I simply got lost.

Perhaps this book works better in print, giving pauses where needed??

Title: Billionaire

Author: Peter James

Narrator: Leighton Pugh

Format: Unabridged

Length: 9 hrs and 18 mins

Language: English

Release date: 12-31-15

Publisher: Pan Macmillan Publishers Ltd.

Ratings: 1 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense

Publisher's Summary:

From Peter James, the award-winning author of the Roy Grace series, comes Billionaire, an exhilarating financial thriller.

City stockbroker Alex Rocq leads a comfortable life, with a luxury flat in London, a country cottage, a very expensive car, and a lucrative job that still leaves time for leisure. But all this isn't enough. After receiving a tip-off, Alex decides to play the commodities market for himself. He soon learns the hard way that fortune doesn't always favour the brave, and his luck comes to an abrupt end.

When he is offered the chance to write off his debts - in exchange for special services and silence - Rocq can't believe his luck. But how far will a desperate man go to harness the power players around him?

Members Reviews:

Alex Rocq is no Roy Grace

This is, at the end of the day a decent financial thriller. It takes place in the realms of the super rich viewing events from multiple points of view amongst a cast of very affluent and in most cases fairly dis-likeable characters. A Greek arms dealer, a French Viscount and a rich London stockbroker are among them.

However, for those (like me) who approached it thinking we were getting a brand new book from Peter James alarm bells started ringing very early. The entertaining opening scenes on Britain's motorways are well done but it quickly becomes obvious that this is not a contemporary novel. The book was in fact written and first published in the early 80s, the author took them out of print for decades and some web sites cite this decision as being because he felt his earlier books were not up to his current standards. When I checked today he does not include them in the list of his books on his website . . .

The book does develop at an interesting pace once you get used to the time period it is set in. Leighton Pugh does a very decent job of narration and I did enjoy listening to it. However, the ending does push things a bit far and I never really got to care about Alex Rocq partly because most of the book covers the other characters and partly because, well he isn't that likeable.

I'd summarise by saying that this is an okay way to spend a few hours. However, this isn't the book you should judge Peter James by and fans of his other books may not get as much out of this one.

Note to Audible: In my view you should make it more obvious that this is a re-release of an old book and not a brand new one.

Dull

How many times does anyone need to explain commodities in order to make story work

returned the book

I got to chapter 10 and had to check of I had downloaded a Joan Collins book by mistake. Sorry I couldn't read any further and returned the book. Bring back Roy Grace!

Rubbish!

A feeble and well-worn plot read by someone who thinks that all foreigners have sore throats.

Best forgotten

Would you try another book written by Peter James or narrated by Leighton Pugh?

This book has been out of print for 30 years...and for a very good reason. It's not very good! I'm a big fan of Peter James' books but this early effort is dated, poorly plotted and totally unbelievable and though Leighton Pugh does his best to breath life into it, it really is not worth the effort.

Title: Right You Are, Mr. Moto

Author: John P. Marquand

Narrator: Paul Christy

Format: Unabridged

Length: 9 hrs and 17 mins

Language: English

Release date: 12-30-15

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense

Publisher's Summary:

In the final installment of John P. Marquand's classic espionage series, Mr. Moto returns - 15 years after his previous adventure. After serving his country as a paratrooper in World War II, Jack Rhyce takes on an even more dangerous mission when he becomes a secret agent in the early years of the Cold War. Now he and fellow spy Ruth Bogart have been dispatched to Tokyo to foil an assassination attempt on a leading liberal politician. Murder is only the first part of this nefarious Communist plot; the ultimate objective is to stir up anti-American sentiment in a country that has formed close bonds with its former adversary in the West.

Undercover as do-gooders employed by the Asia Friendship League, Jack and Ruth are met at the airport by Mr. Moto, a would-be tour guide who offers to make their stay more hospitable. The American spies immediately suspect that there is more to Mr. Moto than meets the eye. But whose side is he on? To stop the cunning mastermind behind the sinister scheme, Jack and Ruth will have to learn the secrets of post-war Japan as quickly as possible. The mysterious Mr. Moto might just be their greatest ally, or their worst enemy.

First serialized in the Saturday Evening Post, John P. Marquand's popular and acclaimed Mr. Moto Novels were the inspiration for eight films starring Peter Lorre.

Members Reviews:

Mr. Moto's Last Bow

If you are reading this, you probably got here via the Mr. Moto movies of Peter Lorre. Same here.

I read the novels when they were released in paperback back in the 80s and my observation at the time was that I liked them, but they were totally unlike anything in the movies. Fast forward 30 years and I still love the Peter Lorre version, but when I saw the novels were on audiobook, I bought them all, two at a time.

The audiobook version made the book really "pop," and the narrator, Paul Christy, has an amazingly good range for representing different characters.

This book was the last in the series and it was set in postwar Japan. The two lead characters are American agents tracking down red agitators in Japan. Unlike the similar pairs in previous Moto books, they aren't thrown together by circumstance, but a mission. You don't know exactly where Mr. Moto stands, but once things become clear, he and the Americans work together to stop an assassination attempt.

I think I enjoyed the prewar books much more because reality (the Cold War) is in place and obviously Mr. Moto failed to stop the war party in 1930s Japan. This book also has a jarring ending unlike the previous books. When I finished I just sat there thinking "Wow." And I had read the book years ago â but not in rapid succession with all the others. I think this created more context for the novels.

I am, however, convinced by the ending that John Marquand intended to continue the Mr. Moto series and for whatever reason (Like the Bataan Death March) popularity for the character ever came back. I am sorry about that.

I enjoyed this book, but I suggest you read it last.

Four Stars

good

Somewhat verbose, but very interesting and enjoyable

This is the second Mr. Moto spy novel by John P. Marquand that I read. I read Marquandâs first Moto tale that was published in 1935, prior to World War II, and which anticipated the future war between Japan and the US. This is Marquandâs sixth and last Moto thriller.

Title: Silenced

Author: Kristina Ohlsson

Narrator: Maggie Mash

Format: Unabridged

Length: 13 hrs and 18 mins

Publisher's Summary:

Fifteen years ago, a teenage girl was assaulted and raped as she picked flowers for a Midsummer's Eve ritual. Cut to the present, and a man is killed in a hit-and-run. He has no identification on him; he is not reported missing or wanted by the police. At the same time, a priest and his wife are found dead in an apparent suicide.

Fredrika Bergman, along with Alex Recht's federal investigation unit, is assigned to the seemingly unconnected cases. The investigations lead to a clandestine people-smuggling network: a new player on the international human smuggling market operating out of Bangkok.

As the police slowly uncover the shocking hypocrisy behind the network, they begin to find a trail that runs all the way back to the 1980s, to a crime that went unreported but whose consequences will reach further and deeper than anyone ever expected.

Members Reviews:

Good plot.

Very good narrator too. Plot around refugees in Sweden. I am reading Kristina Ohlsson's book in order and there is a building up of the charactrra of the investigation's team that is quite interesting.

Such an annoying narrator

Excellent plot ruined by the narrator. What a waste. Should work on the narrator need a less aggressive voice

Leaves you wanting more!

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

One of my favourite Kristina Ohlsson books, with Maggie Mash as the narrator! Nothing more ideal than that!

What other book might you compare Silenced to, and why?

I would compare it to books written by Tess Gerristen

What about Maggie Mashs performance did you like?

Sometimes you sample a book and the person reading is just not for you. Maggie is perfect for me, I love her clarity and enthusiasm as well as character voices.

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

I was often surprised at outcomes as well as following the emotions of the characters.

Any additional comments?

A follow on from the first book 'Unwanted'- What a good book! I loved every moment. Kristina keeps the suspense going right up until the last moment, not only do you want to know what happens next in the story but also what happens next with the characters. Page turner!

Slow Start

Silenced was a bit of a slow burner but eventually tripped along,_the plot was interesting as were some of the accents Miss Mash slipped into. overall not a bad time passer.

Need to consider the narrator's style.

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

Interested in narrative , but I a, sorry today the narrator has missed the mark on a number of the voices. In particular the tone and speed of the male parts.

Would you be willing to try another book from Kristina Ohlsson? Why or why not?

Yes because I like her work

What didnt you like about Maggie Mashs performance?

See above.
