Exciting

I found this to be an exciting book filled with twists and turns. What looks like a pretty simple story at first soon becomes very complicated and very deadly? The story turns on a treasure hunt with everyone looking out for themselves, no matter what they have to do. In a lot of ways, the hero isn't a very nice guy but in the end he comes through. This is a great read.

Loved it

This is the kind of book I really like. It's not about the end of the world, just one man struggling with a moral dilemma. He's searching for stolen money and he's not alone. Lot's of action, a bit of sex, an exotic locale with a satisfying ending. I really loved this book.

Not Up To Par for Alex Cross

I've read every book in this awesome series. Alex Cross is a terrific hero and loves his family. This book continues with the kidnapping of his family and his attempting to find the kidnapper before something awful happens to his family. I never really believed that anything bad would happen but there is just enough angst generated that the reader is not sure.

I was disappointed in the repetitive store if this book. We revisited all the same places as in the previous book, ostensibly to look for clues, but I found myself reading past these parts. It was boring until the last few chapters and even then it was very similar to what occurred in the previous book. I gave it three stars because it just didn't measure up to earlier books. Perhaps I've moved on or maybe Alex Ned's a new mission.

Alex Cross #22 the best so far

This is the most complicated of all tha Alex Cross books. Someone has kidnapped Alex's family and is holding them captive with Alex himself being the ultimate prize of this psychopath killer is hoping to get. Several heinous crimes are attributed to both this killer and his female accomplice. Eventually both are brought to justice in very different ways. This is the best book so far in this James Patterson series. I enjoyed the book so very much but felt like I was wrung out like a dish rag by the fantastic ending.

Great

I am an Alex Cross fan, and this book strayed away from the norm as his entire family was involved in a way that the killer did things to make Cross think he was killing his family, starting with his wife and son. It kept you going at a fast pace, questioning whether his family would all be killed or was this a cat and mouse game initiated by the killer. Great read

The Cross stories were far superior in the early books

The Cross stories were far superior in the early books. While this one is good, it just feels like the plots are getting redundant and Patterson is not devoting the time he used too. That might be because he has turned his name into its own brand and doesn't feel the need anymore to do more than "phone-it-in".

A great finish

This is a series to be enjoyed, savored. I love books, love to read. Love to live and experience the entertainment of a good book. These are not stand alone books. They need to be read in the order they are written. It took 13 days to read the 24 books making up the series. I could not walk away from the story of this close, loving family. The good, honorable man that was Alex Cross. The world they lived in, D.C.'s East Side. The utter depravity of the criminal elements.

Title: Men of No Property

Author: Dorothy Salisbury Davis

Narrator: Peter Brooke

Format: Unabridged

Length: 19 hrs and 35 mins

Language: English

Release date: 11-04-14

Publisher: Audible Studios

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense

Publisher's Summary:

Dorothy Salisbury Davis brings to life the joys, hardships, and challenges of the Irish in New York City, following the lives of five people from their voyage to America in 1848 through 15 turbulent years.

When the Valiant weighs anchor, the Irish that are crammed into her hold break into song, and with the hymn, say good-bye to the island of their birth. Famine, nationalism, and sectarian strife have crippled the Emerald Isle, and those who can afford it crowd aboard leaky ships, risking death for the possibility of a better life. Among the Valiant's passengers are Peg and Norah Hickey, a pair of lovely young runaways; powerful and charming Dennis Lavery, who sets his sights on Tammany Hall; tough urchin Vinnie Dunne; and Stephen Farrell, a lawyer and journalist who waded into troubled political waters in Ireland. While they begin their journey with optimism in their hearts, as their fortunes prosper in the new world, their lives will be touched in ways they would never expect - by disillusionment, corruption, and the violence of America's Civil War. A tribute to her mothers homeland, this historical novel was the first work of fiction published by Dorothy Salisbury Davis that did not deal with crime and criminals. Nonetheless, she brings to it the same insightful characterization, lively pacing, and engrossing drama that mark her as one of the finest mystery authors of all time.

`I am darkness'

Author Peggy Holloway came to writing late. She has a long and interesting career of teaching mathematics in both the high and college level, working as a geophysicist in a major oil company exploring for oil and gas and working as a counselor/psychotherapist with adults, groups, families, couples and teens. Credential? - a BS in geology, an MCS in mathematics and an MA in Psychology. Her first forays as an author were technical - reports as a geophysicist, research papers in psychology, and letters to authorities while counseling adolescents. She has now written 12 novels ranging from romance to paranormal to mysteries and psychological thrillers and TERROR ON THE BEACH falls into the latter category.

Holloway opens her book with a prologue as grisly as anyone has written. A night stalker wanders Monroe Beach at night slashing people to death with a knife and from the prologue we read the following: `I walk in darkness. I am darkness. My name is Twoon. The press has named my Twoon, The Beach Front Stabber. Twoon is proud of his new title.' Once the book opens in sunlight the story begins. Sarah James lives in a beach condo and owns a boutique close by. Her boyfriend, Robert Kola, is the sheriff of Monroe Beach. He is worried about Sarah and wants her to move in with him so he can protect her. She refuses. Things are happening to her that she can't explain. She begins losing time. She will be somewhere and all of a sudden she's somewhere else. She receives merchandise for her shop that she doesn't remember ordering. Someone who smokes has put mileage on her car. When Sarah finds bloody clothes in the back of her closet, she thinks some fiend is trying to frame her for murder ... or possibly, she realizes in terror, she herself committed the murders and doesn't remember. She wakes up, and she's running down the beach with her new neighbor chasing her. A deputy comes over a sand dune and screams for her to get down. Then she notices she is holding a bloody knife.

The manner in which Holloway weaves these disparate lines of thinking wed her background in psychology with an uncanny sense of forward momentum. Once the reader gets through the gruesome opening, the sense of terror is so great that the story demands staying with it until the bizarre plot is resolved. This is psychological thriller writing at its best. Grady Harp, March 14

I stayed up late just to find out what happened.

Peggy Hollowayâs third installment of the Judith McCain series Terror on the Beach is a psychological thriller and a mystery that begins at Monroe Beach with âTwoonâ The Beach Front Killer. âTwoonâ, the name heâs given himself, gets off on plunging his knife into his victims over and over again.

Title: The Fear of the Dark

Publisher's Summary:

Where do you go when you've gone too far? That's the question Neil Van Ness faces as his carefully constructed life unravels before his eyes. The first blow comes with the discovery of his wife's affair, betraying and devastating both a friendship and a marriage. The second comes from a news report on TV when Neil learns he's the target of a nationwide manhunt by the FBI for the murder of his parents 15 years ago - a crime he didn't commit. It's not only the FBI who's pursuing Neil, so is a sadistic killer with an agenda and a secret, a murderer who's using every possible resource within the FBI to track down the only man who knows the truth.

Members Reviews:

A thriller that kept me on the edge of my chair

I thoroughly enjoyed Dalen's first novel, finding the characters realistic, and the plot plausible and also exciting. The character of Michael Demming was particularly well crafted, evil but with a purpose -- and hardly the caricature one sometimes finds in the villains of such tales. A bad guy is scary, a bad guy who is also a psychopath is more frightening, and a bad guy psychopath in a position of power (in this case the FBI), scarier still. Demming is the psychopath in a position of power squared.

I immediately felt myself sympathizing with Neil Van Ness, the protagonist of the tale, but also wondering -- what was really going on. The story didn't disappoint, as the story of Neil's parent's brutal death was revealed, and the true character of assistant director Demming came to light. I thought the role played by Special Agent Miller helped to redeem the FBI's name in a story that could have easily turned into a conspiracy yarn.

My only (minor) criticism would be Dalen took too long resolving the Neil-Cathy-Becky love triangle at the end. Otherwise, an action packed thriller and a great read.

Thrilling

Lots of action and thrilling situations.

Could have spared us some of the sordid details.

I hope the author will write some more books.

A real good read!

I'm an audiobook fan, since I spend so much time on the road -- but I'm also a suspense fan, so finding something unabridged and in the suspense genre was like a double-bonus treat.

"The Fear of The Dark" is good suspense, with characters that I could relate to and root for (or against). The tension is tightened and then loosened, and the turn of events seem surprising at first but then make perfect sense.

The reader does a good job, though his female voices (particularly Becky) are weak. Sometimes he takes long pauses making the story seem slower at times than it should. At other times, the pauses help the suspense. Maybe that was what he was trying to achieve. For the most part it works out all right.

The climax was very well staged, an exciting and fitting conclusion. It hits all the right notes. And the outcome of Neil Van Ness was particularly surprising, the final chapter exceptionally well written and bittersweet. It made me pause for several minutes and consider the irony of the situation. I even listened to the last chapter again just to re-experience it.

I'd be very interested in any of Eric Dalen's other work, if it's available. Anybody know?

A good listen.

I enjoyed this. It had all the elements I like without a lot of boring stuff. The chase part in Vegas is great. The courtroom part is too long.

Title: Maker of Shadows

Author: Jack Mann

Narrator: Milton Bagby

Format: Unabridged

Length: 7 hrs and 48 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-20-14

Publisher: RadioArchives.com

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense

Publisher's Summary:

Jack Mann, the author of Maker of Shadows and seven other novels starring Gregory George Gordon Green, known to most as "Gees" was actually a pseudonym for E. Charles Vivian, a well-known British author of supernatural, western, and detective novels. Making the Vivian pen-name even more interesting was the fact that it too was a pseudonym of Charles Henry Cannell, who wrote books, many about series characters, under numerous pen-names.

Born in 1882, Cannell died in 1947. At the time, he had written over 80 books, ranging from westerns (as by "Barry Lynd") to lost race adventures The City of Wonder, Fields of Sleep. His Gees's novels were so popular that several of them published in hardcover in England were later serialized in Argosy magazine.

As a young man, Cannell served as a British soldier in the Boer War. Afterwards, he worked for several years as a reporter for The Daily Telegraph newspaper. Deciding to become a novelist, Cannell switched to writing fiction in 1907.

The "Gees" series were Vivian's most popular novels. The stories featured a young, somewhat naive, British detective Gregory George Gordeon Green, known as "Gees" and delve into his various cases, most of which involve the supernatural. In this story, Gees is recruited by Margaret Aylener, the head of a major Scottish family. Margaret has been battling most of her life against Gamel Macmorn, supposedly the descendent of foreign invaders who enslaved and murdered the Scots. No one in the area knows how old Macmorn really is, as he seemingly possesses the power to regenerate himself at certain times after which he returns to his home as "his son."

Gees battles Macmorn and his ancient Druidic magic in a duel for the soul of Margaret Aylener's daughter, Helen. The evil Macmorn is not known as Maker of Shadows for nothing, and Gees find out just how true that menacing title really is. But Gees commands powers of his own Read by Milton Bagby.

The 5th Gees novel really gets into the supernatural

The 5th Gees novel really gets into the supernatural!

Gees, real name Gregory George Gordon Green. Created by British author and editor Charles Henry Cannell (1882-1947), better known by one of his pseudonyms E. Charles Vivian, but these appeared under his Jack Mann pseudonym.

There are 8 novels in the series. All eight are available from Ramble House in both paperback and hardcover.

We are introduced to Gees in "Gees' First Case". We learn his background: a former policeman who has quite to form his own detective agency, to the disapproval of his father, a general. His agency is just him and a secretary, Eve Madeleine Brandon. But there is no hanky panky there. Gees investigates anything from "mumps to murder," as his card says, and thanks to the funds he took from communist conspirators in the first story, he is free to take the cases that interest him.

In what is probably the most explicate occult case is "Maker of Shadows", where Gees goes up against a evil wizard Gamel MacMorn, a survivor of the "Azilian race". Gees is called in to help a Scottish family who has been fighting MacMorn off for generations. MacMorn has the ability to regenerate every so often, so he basically comes back as his "son."

The Azilian race is one that Cannell made up (he used the name of a real paleolithic culture), and they (or their descendants) will appear in further works.
