    Publisher's Summary:
    Lisa Scottoline has delivered taut thrillers with a powerful emotional wallop in her New York Times best-sellers Save Me, Think Twice, and Look Again. Now, with her new novel, Come Home, she ratchets up the suspense with the riveting story of a mother who sacrifices her future for a child from her past.
    Jill Farrow is a typical suburban mom who has finally gotten her and her daughter's lives back on track after a divorce. She is about to remarry, her job as a pediatrician fulfills her - though it is stressful - and her daughter, Megan, is a happily overscheduled thirteen-year-old juggling homework and the swim team. But Jills life is turned upside down when her ex-stepdaughter, Abby, shows up on her doorstep late one night and delivers shocking news: Jills ex-husband is dead. Abby insists that he was murdered and pleads with Jill to help find his killer. Jill reluctantly agrees to make a few inquiries and discovers that things dont add up. As she digs deeper, her actions threaten to rip apart her new family, destroy their hardearned happiness, and even endanger her own life. Yet Jill cant turn her back on a child she loves and once called her own.Come Home reads with the breakneck pacing of a thriller while also exploring the definition of motherhood, asking the questions: Do you ever stop being a mother? Can you ever have an exchild? What are the limits to love of family?

    Whining and crying make it impossible to finish
    I am a Lisa Scottoline fan. Unfortunately, I won't finish this particular book. The production is just awful. Whining, crying at full volume (we listen with earbuds, producers!), and really poor voicing of the characters made me give up about 10 chapters in. Maybe I'll pick it up and read it some day. Can't get through this.
    lots of cliche's and kind of silly
    Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
    Probably wouldn't recommend to a friend. I finished it, but I was annoyed by the lazy writing.
    What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
    Meh. It was ok. Everything got resolved about as you'd expect.
    What about Maggi-Meg Reeds performance did you like?
    She had a good voice for the part.
    Was Come Home worth the listening time?
    Probably not.
    Life is too short to waste on this book
    I usually know what to expect from Lisa Scottoline's books: Smart woman does stupid things, but lives to tell the tale. They drive me crazy at times, but her stories are usually a good way to get away from the real world for a while.
    This one fits the "smart woman/stupid things" pattern, but it adds a layer of domestic drama that wastes an inordinate amount of time. And the central character is just so irritating that I found myself talking back to the book.I should have turned off after the first half hour, but made it halfway through before deciding that it wasn't worth listening to all the dreck to solve the mystery.
    Imagine that your long-lost stepdaughter shows up at your door to tell you that her father's been killed.

    From the New York Times best-selling author of One Good Dog comes a novel about a womans cross-country journey to find her lost dog and discover herself.
    If theres been a theme in Justine Meades life, its loss. Her mother, her home, even her son.

    Great Road Trip Entertainment
    My mother and I listened to this book over the course of a weekend road trip. We're both "dog people," but I don't like overly sentimental books or blatantly manipulative tear-jerkers. This book had an interesting story that kept our interest to the very end. In fact, we listened to the last several minutes sitting in our driveway.
    For those of you who don't like sad endings, this one shouldn't be a problem for you. Without spoiling it for you, I can say I felt the ending made sense and was actually what my mother and I had both said would be the best solution to a difficult problem.
    The main characters in this book were well rounded and interesting, and even secondary characters who started out as stereotypes were mostly revealed as flawed people who had reasons for the things they did.
    I enjoyed this book greatly and will look for other titles by this author.
    A must have for my fellow canine lovers!
    What a fantastic story- this is the type of story and performance that I can never get enough of.... I laughed, I cried, I smiled.... I thanked the stars above for my own amazing/precious/priceless "good" dog!!!
    What a wonderful book.
    Would you consider the audio edition of The Dog Who Danced to be better than the print version?
    Yes
    What was one of the most memorable moments of The Dog Who Danced?
    The reunion scene.

    Publisher's Summary:
    From the Man Booker Prize-winning author of The Line of Beauty: a magnificent, century-spanning saga about a love triangle that spawns a myth, and a family mystery, across generations.
    In the late summer of 1913, George Sawle brings his Cambridge schoolmatea handsome, aristocratic young poet named Cecil Valanceto his familys modest home outside London for the weekend. George is enthralled by Cecil, and soon his sixteen-year-old sister, Daphne, is equally besotted by him and the stories he tells about Corley Court, the country estate he is heir to. But what Cecil writes in Daphnes autograph album will change their and their families lives forever: a poem that, after Cecil is killed in the Great War and his reputation burnished, will become a touchstone for a generation, a work recited by every schoolchild in England. Over time, a tragic love story is spun, even as other secrets lie burieduntil, decades later, an ambitious biographer threatens to unearth them.
    Rich with Hollinghurst's signature giftshaunting sensuality, delicious wit and exquisite lyricismThe Strangers Child is a tour de force: a masterly novel about the lingering power of desire, how the heart creates its own history, and how legends are made.
    Critic Reviews:
    Brilliantly written, intricate and wide-reaching . . . An almost century-long cavalcade of changing social, sexual and cultural attitudes, exhibited in sensuously imagined scenes and scrutinized with ironic wit . . . Marvelously acute in its attention to idioms and idiosyncrasies, tone and body language, psychological and emotional nuances, the book gives intensely credible life to its swarm of characters. (Peter Kemp, The Sunday Times, London)
    Not only Alan Hollinghursts most ambitious novel to date, but also his funniest since The Spell . . . Hollinghurst is perhaps our most literary contemporary novelist, in the sense that his books are . . . playfully, but never merely flippantly, studded with allusions. . . . The principal theme of the workings of time and memory [is] brilliantly embodied in the books structure, with its bold narrative leaps forwardBeautifully written, ambitious in its scope and structure, confident in its execution, The Strangers Child is a masterclass in the art of the novel.(Peter Parker, The Times Literary Supplement, UK)
    Highly entertaining and, as always with Hollinghurst, the dialogue is immaculate and the characterization first class. . . . Every Alan Hollinghurst novel is a cause for celebration, and this spacious, elegant satire is no exception.(David Robson, Sunday Telegraph, UK)

    I Hated For It To End
    What did you love best about The Stranger's Child?
    I loved both its characters and the way the writer explores how and what is remembered.
    What other book might you compare The Stranger's Child to and why?
    I could loosely compare it to A.S. Byatt's Possession or Tennysons' "In Memoriam" (where the story got its title from.) Like Possession, we see biographers trying to unravel the mystery of what a famous poet was really like and who he was romantically involved with. Unlike Possession, the story isn't centered on "who dun' it" (although there are some surprising twists at the end), but rather who is remembered, how they are remembered, and who is forgotten. It's very poignant to see who and what is lost.
    Which scene was your favorite?
    The ending left me with chills.

    You have to love Fools Gold !!!
    Another very enjoyable book by Susan Mallery ! Susan has a way of making the characters in her books come to life as if they could be your neighbor.
    This time around it is Nevada's turn & she is just as spunky as ever. As an added surprise on this visit to Fools Gold we have two other couples come together.
    The narrator does a good job.
    Enjoyable narration
    Enjoyed the story, glad the triplets got their HEA. Jo's secret was handled well, I could understand why she didn't tell anyone. It was refreshing to have a character not sugarcoat their experience.
    Nevada - my favorite of the series so far!
    Where does Only His rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far?
    This is one of my absolutes favorite audiobooks. I love the characters and this story touched me.
    What did you like best about this story?
    I love that Tucker and Nevada have a history that is perfect but they manage to be "real " about being adults.
    What does Tanya Eby bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?
    She is a great reader. I love her being the voice of the series. It would suck if she didn't read all the books. Some readers ruin books hut not Tanya.
    If you could take any character from Only His out to dinner, who would it be and why?
    Tucker-because I imagine him being great at conversation and easy on the eyes.
    Any additional comments?
    Love this series. Wish their were more and I didn't have to wait so long between books. I have to re-listen because I get through the books so fast. I have read this book 3 times so far.
    I loved this book.
    If you could sum up Only His in three words, what would they be?
    Very good romance
    Who was your favorite character and why?
    Nevada

    Praise for the Night Angel trilogy: I was mesmerized from start to finish. Unforgettable characters, a plot that kept me guessing, non-stop action and the kind of in-depth storytelling that makes me admire a writer's work. (Terry Brooks)
    Members Reviews:
    Well spent hours
    Likes it alot but I didn't like the guys voice has a lot potential too be better than it is though
    A great debut novel
    Way of Shadows is a great debut novel by Brent Weeks, and brilliantly narrated by Paul Boehmer. Readers of Brandon Sanderson and Peter V. Brett should love the Way of Shadows.
    Absolutely brilliant!
    Any additional comments?
    What a brilliant book, one of the best I have listened to. Extremely well written with non-stop action. There are only a few passages which seem to drag a little, but remember this is a 20 hour book. The story and the characters are engaging. The narrator is fantastic. The only problem is this is book 1 of a trilogy and the other 2 books are not on Audible yet. Please Audible get the rest of the series real soon, I can't wait!!
    Decent Fantasy-Intrigue
    If you could sum up The Way of Shadows: Night Angel Trilogy, Book 1 in three words, what would they be?
    Complex, Dramatic, Gripping
    What did you like best about this story?
    The personal development of the characters, and the rather complex wheel-within-wheels-plot
    Any additional comments?
    While it was a good book, at times I lost track because of all the different characters in the story. The highlights of the book is when it focuses on the main characters.
    Great story, subpar reading.
    The story is amazing and it's what has kept me hooked.
    Can't say the same for the performance. Oftentimes I found it hard to follow conversations because characters have the same voices. It might just be me but I found it hard to distinguish characters in conversations.

    It was a story that kept your attention but stupid! the character's all sounded like hip hop artist....i kno i heard dmx in there! it was jus drama drama and more drama. I think I laughed more than any thing thats why my performance rating was so high...i figured it was a comedy lmao! but hey if u lookin for somethin outta this world funny and super wack then hey go 4 it! as much as the story line was jus wild and doesnt happen in hell or earth it was entertaining...shot...didnt pay much attention 2 the ppl on my train or bus while listening so I guess its worth it!
    Good book...a lot going on
    Would you consider the audio edition of Justify My Thug to be better than the print version?
    This was my second Wanda Clark book...and the first of this series. The book is good but I found myself rewinding to keep up with who was who. I would suggest reading the other books prior this one or you will be like I was rewinding and listening again to understand. Regardless, the book...series is pretty interesting with loads of drama. I do plan to purchase book 7 to finish the rest of the story.
    What did you like best about this story?
    Loads of drama
    *ridiculous*I cant believe the abuse glorifying
    What would have made Justify My Thug better?
    to show tasha being happy with the other guy. Why not show her opening up her business.
    What was most disappointing about Wahida Clarks story?
    Really this has set women especially black women back by decades.To have her stay with a abusive man. Then also its just sex. i should be just x rated. glorifying abortion like they deciding to play hop-scotch

    wrong people

    Awesome story and narration
    What made the experience of listening to Justify My Thug the most enjoyable?
    Now this narrator tells the story as it should be told and Honey Jones puts the icing on the cake. These two together are the bomb... Thank you for bringing these two back to continue the narrating of your book
    It stayed interesting the whole read.
    I understood the narration clearly. One extra/different male voice could help though. Its great! LOVE

    When 27-year-old Bette Robinson quits her Manhattan banking job, she knows she won't miss the 80-hour workweeks, her claustrophobic cubicle or her revolting boss's Quotes of the Day.
    Then Bette meets Kelly, head of Manhattan's hottest PR and events planning firm, and suddenly she has a brand-new job where the primary requirement is to see and be seen.
    The work at Kelly & Company takes Bette inside the VIP rooms of the city's most exclusive nightclubs, to parties crowded with celebrities and socialites. Soon she's dating an infamous playboy who's great for her career but bad for her sanity - and scaring off the one decent guy she meets. As her coworkers repeatedly point out, how can you complain about a job that pays you to party? Bette has to agree - until she begins appearing in a vicious new gossip column. That's when Bette's life on paper takes on a whole new meaning - and she learns the line between her personal and professional lives is...invisible.

    Members Reviews:
    Wonderful novel and audiobook!
    This is one of my favorite books. It's funny, entertaining, and romantic. The reader did a great job and kept me interested.
    Entertaining
    A good book to pass the time. Narrator was great and the characters were interesting although the story line was average.
    Not the best
    While I enjoyed the performance, it wasn't my favourite as I found Bette spineless and wishy-washy. I got that she was caught in between, but about half way through, her whole "I'm sorry, I have no choice, it's my job" routine was getting old. I felt compelled to yell "own your choices girl!" at my iPhone. To be fair, this feeling is undoubtedly exacerbated by the fact that this is my fourth consecutive Weisberger read, and this is a definite common trait with her heroines. Even so, I found Bette just a little bit worse than the others, so many aspects of her life were a farce.
    That aside, the performance was great and the story isn't bad, my main issue is just that I couldn't identify with the main character.
    Agonizing Performance
    Of the hundreds of books I've listened to, this is in my Top 3 worst performance - or maybe it's the editing. The pauses between thoughts, the gasps for breath, the lack of real inflection made me wonder why people say it's a good performance. The book could have been shortened by 25% (it's overly long) if the editing had reduced these crazy gaps and gasps.
    The story was average, by far the weakest of Lauren Weisberger's books. None is really stellar but they offer mindless relief from the more serious news of the day. The story would have gained strength if it were more listen-able. (Actually I'd have switched to print but didn't want to spend more money on a weak book.)
    Dont waste your money
    What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
    Nothing. It wasn't funny and it was agonizingly long.
    Would you ever listen to anything by Lauren Weisberger again?
    NO.

    A Must Read
    A engaging and fascinating story of one American family, their adopted daughter from India, her paternal Indian family, and their eventual acceptance of one another and treasured peaceful coexistence. I highly recommend this book.
    Just OK
    Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
    The book was entertaining, but not something I would recommend to an avid reader. It was just OK.
    If youve listened to books by Shilpi Somaya Gowda before, how does this one compare?
    Shilpi is a good reader and her Indian accents added to the story.
    Any additional comments?
    I would have liked for the characters to have been developed a little better. I felt like the story was being
    A Story of Many Truths
    One of the most interesting and enjoyable books I have read or listened to this year including Cuttting for Stone. The author brought hope and happiness to me, I could relate to each character. The narrator was perfect.
    Good listen, well read
    For a first try, a good book. A bit slow at first, however, halfway through, it got better. The narrator was very good and made the story authentic.
    If you enjoyed this book, I HIGHLY recommend A fine Balance by Rohinton Mistry.
    Motherhood and family are deeper than blood
    Where does Secret Daughter rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far?
    This is a captivating book which makes you wish the drive to work was longer.
    Have you listened to any of Soneela Nankanis other performances before? How does this one compare?
    This is the first book I have listened to read by Soneela Nankani. Her inflection and intonation, combined with the vernacular of the book allowed the listener to envision the scene and gain insight to the characters personality.
    If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
    Nothing is as simple as it first seems, especially in India, especially when it involves family.
    Any additional comments?
    This book made me think of my relationship with my own mother who is deceased. I appreciate her all that much more.

    United by a desire to overcome their personal misfortunes, seven very different women formed an indelible bond and vowed to right wrongs wherever they found them. Theyve succeeded beyond their wildest dreams. After years known as the Vigilantes, Myra, Annie, Kathryn, Alexis, Yoko, Nikki, and Isabelle are enjoying their hard-won freedom and the chance at a normal life.
    As it turns out, though, once youre a part of the Sisterhood, normal is a relative term. President Martine Connor, their long-time ally, has announced the formation of a top-secret organization. Officially, the CIC wont exist. Unofficially, theyll report directly to the president and tackle the jobs no one else can handle. For the Sisterhood, its the end of an era - and the beginning of a whole new adventure.
