Publisher's Summary:

Victim. Lover. Both? His dark game is seducing her - just as it was when they were young.

How can he still have that power over her? Eighteen years ago, she saw him die.

Wealthy, selfish, and greedy, the McDowell family raised Carolyn McDowell - a foster child - like a modern Cinderella. Neglected and ignored, good-hearted Carolyn adored scion Alexander despite it all, even though he tormented her.

When Alex ran away one night, Carolyn followed and witnessed his murder, though she never told anyone. Her beloved Alex died when he was 17. There was no doubt.

Eighteen years later, Carolyn returns to the decadent milieu of the McDowell clan to care for her dying foster mother, Sally. As greedy relatives gather to claim their inheritances, a stunning stranger arrives, claiming to be Alexander. To Carolyn's utter shock, Sally greets her "son" without question, and no one but Carolyn believes he's a fraud.

As she delves into the mysteries of both the past and present, Carolyn quickly realizes that the resurrected Alex is a dangerous combination of seduction and power. Is this stranger after the McDowell fortune, or is he really, somehow, the Alex of old, coming back to claim her? How can he be an imposter and yet know family secrets only the real Alex would remember? Was someone helping him?

What would you do if the boy you loved returned almost 20 years later and you fell in love with him all over again - even if you were sure it couldn't be him?

WOW.... BRILLIANT & MY EARBUDS NEVER LEFT MY EARS

Carolyn was Fostered, but never adopted, by the wealthy MacDowell family when she was 2 however, apart from her Foster Mother Sally, she never really fit in with the rest of the family and she was never treated as one of the them either, she felt like a round peg in a square hole, but she desperately wanted to belong and to have a family to call her own. All except her Foster brother Alex who, at her tender age of 13, she loved and not in a brotherly way - he was handsome and Carolyn saw past his hard shell and something inside her young body came to life whenever he was near. But, at 17, Alex had become reckless, spoilt, self absorbed, selfish and erratic and, after a heartbreaking encounter when he robbed her, she watched, paralysed in fear and heartache, as someone shot and killed him.

Now, years later Carolyn watched again but this time it was the imposter, who claimed to be Alex the long lost prodigal son, as he so easily fooled everyone, including Sally - his dying Mother who she'd selflessly come home to look after, oh yes he'd fooled everyone.... everyone except her.

Once more into the breach!

The third installment of the Temple of the Blind sees the new group (including the 2 we got to know so well in book 1) making their way back into the labyrinth of tunnels underground. This book returns to more of an action feel, like book 1, and less of 'more backstory' than book 2 - although if you read book 2 then you WILL understand a lot more about book 3 (and book 4 etc. etc.). These books are really not standalone novels as without reading previous volumes, it's hard to play catch up. I have really been enjoying the ride so far but once again I'd have to urge the author to put this out as a compilation to bring in more readers. As a 'full book' - or at least a collection - this would make so much more sense. All in all a fun and creepy series.

I'm speechless

Have I mentioned how obsessed I am with Brian Harmon's writing now? I started off with Rushed and then investigated the Temple of the Blind series, and all I can say is that my feet hurt. Why? Because I carry my Kindle Fire with me wherever I go, and I can't look away from the words at ALL, I stumble through the house, unable to tear myself away enough to walk from room to room without stubbing my toes and stepping on stuff! But seriously, these books go right from one into the next without making you feel like you've missed something, it honestly could have been all written in one book. Your life will never be the same after reading this series.

Stephen King and Dean Koontz Hybrid

The first I read The Box from Kindle free books, I was instantly hooked. The character development was excellent and the writer did a great job spinning the tale of Albert and Brandy's adventure within the Temple of the Blind. The third instalment picks up where we left off on the first book (the second book was set at a different place, not necessarily connected to the storyline on the third book but it does have something to do with this third book.)

Brian Harmon created characters that are not perfect yet they seem to grow along with the story. If I were to describe his writing style, it would be the perfect blend between Stephen King and Dean Koontz.

WOWZA!

Brian Harmon is a very good author! Where he comes up with the very unique things that happen in his books, I sure don't know!! All I know is that I really like is style, his imagination and the weird plot twists in his stories! I am 64 years old so he isn't just for young readers.

Members Reviews:

Is it the translation?

Would you ever listen to anything by Elisabetta Cametti and Scott P. Sheridan - translator again?

Probably not. The summary I read was interesting enough and I love a good fiction novel, but this came off as some of the most obvious reading since Twilight. I'm not sure what they were going for there, but the story was sloppy, the characters were uninteresting, and the premise was full of holes. I had to rewind several times because it could not keep my attention. Too bad because it could have been good. Maybe something was lost in translation or my ugly American side is coming out as culturally blind. The story was missing a lot and the characters were bland- even with all of the character development. Go read something from Sanderson if your looking for a new perspective.

What didnt you like about Anna Parker-Napless performance?

It may have been how the audiobook was edited, but it was incredibly choppy and there were distracting pauses. Worse, her male voices bordered on laughable. They reminded me of the Dark Knight jokes.

It was good, but

That Italian accent sounded like Jamaican. Other than that it was entertaining. Not sure how much is based on any truth.

Guardians of history

Excellent book. I couldn't put it down until it was over. Also the narrator was great.

Title: Solomon Gursky Was Here

Author: Mordecai Richler

Narrator: Colm Feore

Format: Unabridged

Length: 17 hrs and 56 mins

Language: English

Release date: 11-10-15

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 13 votes

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense

Publisher's Summary:

Winner of the 1990 Commonwealth Writers Prize, shortlisted for the Booker Prize 1990

Since the age of 11, Moses Berger has been obsessed with the Gursky clan, an insanely wealthy, profoundly seductive family of Jewish-Canadian descent. Now a 52-year-old alcoholic biographer, Berger is desperately trying to chronicle the stories of their lives, especially that of the mysterious Solomon Gursky, who may or may not have died in a plane crash.

A rich, irreverent, and exuberant comic masterpiece from the author of The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz and St Urbain's Horseman.

Members Reviews:

Solomon gursky wasn't there for me.

A difficult book to follow. Too many disjunctures. Too mny characters to keep track of. As a woman I couldn't help but feel that Richler was ramming this story down my throat. I am a male writer who wants you to learn,is what I think Richler is doing. No spaces between chapters no breathing spaces and no time to digest what was happening to each of the characters. I think what Richler was trying to do was present a picture of Canada that would explain its characters and national character.

Five Stars

this is the book to buy on montreal, richler, the lot

Clever but overly complicated.

Clever and funny, but unnecessarily complicated.

Disappointing, depressing, a failed attempt at satire

I bought this book only because of some peripheral references to the Franklin expedition, expecting some humorous prose along the way, but the story left me so unmoved - too many names, too much description of dispiriting dysfunction - that I quit after one quarter of the book.

Richler's best novel

Mordecai Richler's most ambitious and best novel, Solomon is a great, sprawling beast of a book, something to absorb slowly and read over several evenings. It's not a page-turner, exactly; rather, it's a deliciously-crafted, extensive, home-cooked meal - something to be enjoyed and savoured over an extended period.

While he was writing it, Richler famously said that it was a long, convoluted novel that he could shaft with a review far more scathing than anything he was likely to see once it was published. And many people complain that it's difficult to follow, but that's balderdash. Anyone who pays attention can follow it all without problem. I see the same charge leveled against Margaret Atwood's The Blind Assassin. Whenever anyone writes a book with a large cast, the whining starts: it should have been shorter, with fewer characters. I say the opposite: when you pen one delicious paragraph after another like Richler or Atwood, just keep it coming. Pile it on. How sad when it comes to an end.

This is the closest thing we have to the Great Canadian Novel (in English). The cast of characters, the action that sweeps down through the ages through all regions of the country, the ambitions, the losses, the tragedies, the very largeness and brashness of it all - it's as though Richler invented a whole mythology for Canada in one fell swoop. Such was not his intention, I'm sure, but the novel nonetheless has a huge sense of the country and its people. A beautiful piece of work. Five stars.

Publisher's Summary:

Ashley is a young woman broken by choices - some her own, some not. Looking to escape the haunting grip of her past, she embarks on a several-state winter road trip only to pass a sight that changes her life completely: jutting from a dirty snow bank, a small human hand holds its palm up to the sky. Driven by an uncharacteristic need for redemption, Ashley returns to investigate. There, she encounters a seemingly helpful, disturbed local man and the county sheriff. It isn't until the sheriff begins to question Ashley that the terror of her situation dawns: the body in the snow isn't a snowplow accident, but a murder victim, and by coming back to investigate, Ashley has placed herself directly in the serial killer's path. As the next 22 hours unfold, Ashley is confronted with a terrible choice: take advantage of her one chance for escape or attempt rescue of the killer's last remaining victim, possibly sacrificing herself in the process. Only by embracing the ghosts of her past will Ashley survive her descent into the disturbing madness of the freezing season.

Nail biting thriller

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

This is one of the best audible thrillers I've listened to in a long time. It was gripping from the very start and had me on the edge of my seat until the end. I was so engaged I found myself screaming at the victim with "No don't do that, don't go there." I longed for the finale but also didn't want it to end. The author did a brilliant job of developing the characters and the scene. My mind's eye could visualize every step.

At first I was annoyed by the decisions of the main character but once I understand her personality it made perfect sense.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Ashley.

What does Jeannie Lin bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?

The narration was great. Jennie Lin has a melodic voice that easily drew me into each character.

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

Several moments but they would be spoilers.

Beware this book is intense

Wow this book is really intense. The author describes every detail so that the story reveals it self almost like a movie. You hear the wonderful narration and see the story happening. At times the story got so intense that I almost turned it off but I just had to know what was going to happen next. Jeannie Lin was wonderful will look for more books narrated by her.

Good Thriller

I enjoyed this book. It was more than a mystery it was chilling and one that I hated when I had to stop listening to do something. I did finish in 1 day! My first by the author and not my last, looking to read The Riverhouse on my kindle. I would give it a 5. . This audiobook was provided by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review courtesy of Audiobook Blast. Thank you

Narrator was Great!!!

Jeannie Lin did an awesome job at narrating the book. Her voice is clear and crisp as she takes you to the story. It almost feels like you are physically reading the book yourself.

I would love to hear more titles narrated by her.

Manny

creepy

This story hooked me from the start. It was very creepy and the author pulls you in so you feel like you are part of the story. There were several times I was telling Ashley, the main character, what to do and what not to do.

Publisher's Summary:

Joe is in control of everything in his simple life - both his day job as a janitor for the police department and his "night work". He isn't bothered by the daily news reports of the Christchurch Carver, who, they say, has murdered seven women. Joe knows, though, that the Carver killed only six. He knows that for a fact, and he's determined to find the copycat. He'll punish him for the one then frame him for the other six. All he needs now is to take care of all the women who keep getting in his way, including his overprotective mother.

Then there's the mysterious Melissa, the only woman to have ever understood him, but whose fantasies of blackmail and torture don't have a place in Joe's investigation.

Critic Reviews:

"This book is not for the faint of heart or weak of stomach." (Booklist)

Members Reviews:

Who is hunting who?

Note: This book can be read as part of the bigger series of crime novels that all take place in Christchurch, New Zealand. Some characters from those other novels are mentioned here but you dont have to have read them to understand the context. It works just fine as a stand alone.

As we all know from the books description, Joe is the Christchurch Carver, and 7 killings have been attributed to him. But he only killed 6, so he is determined to hunt down this copy cat killer and punish him for overstepping. Right away, I had a little evil chuckle over the idea that serial killers have a code of polite behavior among themselves. Later on, the reader meets Melissa, another killer, and shes pretty miffed at Joe for breaking her ideas of polite behavior as well. Obviously, things would go much easier for Joe if he had a rolodex of the local killers in Christchurch and could coordinate such things. Alas, to be a serial killer is to be a loner.

Joe likes to play the mentally retarded janitor and thats how he got the job at the Christchurch police headquarters. This allows Joe all sorts of access to the investigation into his killings. For much of the book, no one is aware of what Joe is. Detective Schroeder, who weve seen in other Christchurch crime novels by this author, is unaware of Joes real abilities. Even his mother, who is verbally and sometimes physically abusive, finds him subservient. It was a delicious kind of agony to know that Joe is this vicious killer!

The author did a great job of balancing the story I wanted Joe caught, but not so soon or not so easily because I wanted an interesting tale. The violence is, for the most part, referred to instead of portrayed in grim detail. Though there is one scene where Joe suffers a significant injury that was graphic but since hes the evil serial killer, I was fine with that.

Joes mom was excellently done. Shes into memorizing the grocery store ads and puzzles and shes not a very good cook but thinks she is. In some eerie ways, she reminded me of my own mom. Not that Im going to turn into a serial killer because of it or anything.

Then theres Sally, a maintenance worker at the police precinct. She had a brother who passed away and Sally becomes a bit fixated on Joe, wanting to help him. She plays a key role later on in the book that I wont spoil, but her character went from being pretty mellow boring to rather interesting.
