Title: A Way with Murder

Subtitle: A Novel of Crime

Author: R. J. Jagger

Narrator: Kevin Stillwell

Format: Unabridged

Publisher's Summary:

Bryson Wilde, investigator for hire, lives in an edgy world where the dames are dangerous, cigarettes dangle from ruby-red lips, and the nights are hotter than whiskey-soaked jazz. In R. J. Jaggers riveting noir thriller A Way with Murder, Wilde finds himself entangled in two deadly assignments, one for a young, raven-haired attorney on the run after visiting an archeological site in Mexico, and the other for a pretty, little doll-face, who is too mysterious to trust and too hypnotic to resist. As Wilde negotiates the dangerous undercurrents of his treacherous new cases, he soon discovers that not only are the two on a collision course with each other, but that no one is safe when someone who has such a way with murder is around....

This audiobook is a love song to the hard-boiled novels of the '50s, and author R. J. Jagger's talent recalls the early works of Scott Turow and Lisa Scottoline.

Editorial Reviews:

R. J. Jaggers detective novel A Way With Murder stars gumshoe Bryson Wilde and is set in the Denver of the 1950s. In many ways, its a tribute to the hard-boiled detective novels of Mickey Spillane.

Early in the story, a beautiful reporter named Secret steps into Wildes office. Her name lives up to its promise, and soon Wilde must keep her safe after her investigation into a series of murders runs her in trouble.

Kevin Stillwell performs Jaggers novel with a whispery gruffness (his voice elevating only to play the vixen-ish Secret) that is so period-appropriate that one can imagine it set to a bluesy saxophone accompaniment.

Members Reviews:

great historical noir

In 1952 in Denver, Secret St. Rain enters the office of private investigator Bryson Wilde unsure whether she is in trouble as she saw a woman fall to her death when someone dangling her out of a window let go. Secret says she could not see the man as he was in the dark but he could see her as she was near a streetlight. She wants him to trap the killer of Charley-Anna Blackridge before he might come after her.

In his other case Colder and Jones lawyer London Marshall tells Bryson she is in trouble because of what she saw on her most recent annual visit to the Mexican Pyramids. She climbed through an opening and found a casket that contained a shocker inside of it. Frightened she also heard breathing nearby as London fled the scene but fears her adversary saw her and will come for her.

The latest Bryson Wilde private investigative thriller (see Lawyer Trap) is a great historical noir that captures the essence of the 1950s hardboiled detective. Bryson is superb as he has away with female clients who get him in trouble and he, in turn, gets his assistant Alabama in trouble. Readers will appreciate this Wilde historical as Bryson works two femme fatale (even in a baseball cap) cases.

Harriet Klausner

One of Jagger's Best

Jagger's done it again! This Bryson Wilde thriller is a tightly written page-turner that stands among the best of Jagger's work. From beginning to end, the story moves at a rapid pace. Wilde is a 50's era PI that works out of a small office with his sexy assistant Alabama. Wilde also plays drums at a steamy jazz club. Of course, Wilde chases after a serial killer and there is nonstop action.

A Blast From the Past

Ex-cop, security guard and sometime actor Jack Dwyer feels a familiar buzz when, after fifteen years, he sees Karen Lane, his old high school flame. But things are going so well with his girlfriend Donna, that he's pretty sure Karen is not what he needs right now. Still, he agrees to retrieve a suitcase for her which she'd left with her last lover, Glendon Evans, a psychiatrist.

Good Who Done It

Any additional comments?

I liked the story a lot, had some twists and turns I didnt see coming. The narrator kept throwing me off, took a whille to become accustomed to his voice and style. Stick with it, the story is well worth it.

Another great yarn from Ed Gorman

What did you like best about this story?

Mr. Gorman's writing. It's one of those books that goes by in a flash.

What does Eddie Frierson bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?

He brought the book to life. Well done.

Any additional comments?

Buy it!

A GOOD YARN .... :)

I really enjoyed this book. Simple and straightforward mystery from Ed Gorman. I enjoyed the narration very much and liked the characterizations and pace. I guessed well but was still surprised by some twists. All in all a great "listen" on the commute. I wish this author and narrator would team up more. :)

Title: The Secret 6, House of Walking Corpses - #2 November 1934

Author: RadioArchives.com, Robert J. Hogan

Narrator: Michael C. Gwynne, Roger Price

Format: Unabridged

Language: English

Release date: 08-21-13

Publisher: RadioArchives.com

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Noir

Publisher's Summary:

Popular Publications publisher Harry Steeger and writer Robert J. Hogan had scored a hit with G-8 and His Battle Aces in 1933. A year later, they put their heads together and concocted a crime-suspense series with a fantasy flare. They called it The Secret 6!

The premise was simple. Framed for the crimes of the diabolical Red Shadow, a mystery man with a haunted past calling himself King breaks out of the Death House. Scouring the Underworld, King assembles a team of shadowy specialists who dedicate themselves to hunting down The Red Shadow. Once he was disposed of, the super-sleuth sextet went on the tackle malevolent menaces in the I Love a Mystery vein.

This new crime-busting organization consisted of King, The Doctor, The Professor, The Key, The Bishop, Shakespeare and the Zulu warrior known as Luga. They are backed by a small army of unsavory underworld informers ranging from Legs Larkin to Flo the Fleecer.

Only four issues of The Secret 6 were ever published. But what a glorious run! "The Red Shadow" was followed by "House of Walking Corpses," "The Monster Murders" and "The Golden Alligator." Each succeeding novel was more fantastic than the one before.

For their second exploit, The Secret 6 go up against a Mayan curse that turns members of the wealthy Waldorff clan into Living Dead Men. But that's only the start of the wild trail that takes the fighting 6 from Long Island to the Mayan-dominated jungles of Yucatan and a rousing battle with the sinister Bat-Man and his undead legions at the Temple of Azrah. Will The Secret 6 triumphor will Mayan vengeance make it their tomb?

"House of Walking Corpses" is narrated with appropriately atmospheric gravity by Michael C. Gwynne. Two exciting action stories complete this second Secret 6 audiobook. Mystery Bones and Ice Patrol were written by Robert J. Hogan under fictitious bylines and read by Roger Price.

Title: Dark Companion

Author: Jim Nisbet

Narrator: Neil Shah

Format: Unabridged

Length: 4 hrs and 39 mins

Language: English

Release date: 08-01-13

Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc.

Ratings: 2 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Noir

Publisher's Summary:

Acclaimed crime fiction writer Jim Nisbet sets forth a noir gem that lays bare the foibles of modern-day America with tremendous force.

Banerjhee Rolf, a bright, levelheaded Indian American scientist, is content to spend his days with his wife, tending his garden and studying his beloved astronomy. When Rolf s relationship with Toby Pride, his seedy, drug-dealing neighbor, and Prides stoner girlfriend takes a weird turn, Rolfs placid world is shattered, and he becomes a fugitive from justice.

Crime, cosmology, politics, philosophy, physics, and more enter into this cautionary tale, which climaxes with the suddenness of a cobra strike and then delivers a denouement thats both stunning and absolutely perfect.

Members Reviews:

On my "little known gem" list.

A tragicomedy with a lot to say. Part farce, part indictment of our corporate culture, part parable on the fragility of human existence.

The book opens with a style and pace reminiscent of Thorne Smith and Damon Runyon and Peter De Vries--comic in the way of TOPPER, say, but updated to recent times. With just a few deft brush strokes, Nisbet paints a picture of a simple and reclusive man in a happy marriage, just trying to get along. But as Damon Runyon used to say, "all life is 6-5 against," and soon his life begins to unravel.

Jim Nisbet writes well and he interlaces his narratives with images and ideas, laughter and madness, and just as supernovas flare and die, a human destiny might follow its own falling-star-arc as if by deathwish. Here, we watch and admire the beauty of it.

And this is indeed a work of art, all the way around. Jim Nisbet's novels are instant collectors' items. The dustjacket of DARK COMPANION is especially gorgeous and symbolically relevant to the text. This is a quick read, even though I made myself slow down to relish it, with just 144 pages and set in an easy-to-read font.

A small gem, and easily one of the best novels I've read this year.

I hope they have Windows '98 in Hell

This is one of the most off-kilter and original noir books I've read since Charles Willeford went to that Dade County Rest Home in the sky. The book follows two men, neither of whom I cared for, but it's a tribute to the author's keen characterization and pacing that I not only followed these two men through some pretty strange and bloody scenarios, but enjoyed the journey and was sad to see them go (I'm not saying where they "went" since I don't want this review to contain spoilers).

Banerjhee and Toby are neighbors in an affluent So-Cal neighborhood, where a mysterious and unidentified man is broadcasting a mixture of agitprop and pornography through the televisions of the locals. The two men have nothing in common, with Banerjhee being an unemployment tech worker who spends most of his day pondering the wonders of the cosmos, and Toby being a countrypolitan white guy with redneck affectations masking a keen intellect (and a big secret).

Banherjhee finds Toby nigh-on intolerable and Toby finds him to be a bit pretentious and long-winded, and both men are right, in my opinion. Fate, however, forces them together in a short book that is by turns funny, bloody, and absurd. It's also one of the best-written books I've come across in some time. I felt as if I forgot to breathe during the last chapter, a sensation I haven't felt while reading since I consumed some vintage W.C.

Title: Straight Cut

Publisher's Summary:

Death followed him across the ocean

A freelance film editor, Tracy Bateman goes where the work is. So when his old partner calls with an assignment, Tracy finds himself on a plane to Rome. But there are surprises waiting for him - deadly surprises that will lead him on a desperate chase across Europe, into the hands of a pair of brutal drug smugglers, and back to New York City, where the greatest betrayal of all awaits.

Editorial Reviews:

With his personal and professional life in shambles, semi-alcoholic film editor Tracy Bateman accepts an editing job in Rome from his old friend Kevin, even though he suspects that all is not what it seems. Sure enough, he's soon crossing swords with Kevin, battling European gangsters, and trying desperately to protect his unstable wife, Lauren. The violence, though it comes only in short bursts, is surprisingly effective, and performer Chris Ruen perfectly captures the melancholy, tough-guy protagonist. Written by the prolific and talented Madison Smartt Bell, this brooding literary thriller is an ideal choice for overnight Atlantic flights, rainy mornings, and whiskey-enhanced evenings.

The Straight Dope

In 1984, Madison Smartt Bell wrote his first novel at the ripe age ofrtwenty-two, The Washington Square Ensemble. He followed that up with 1985's Waiting for the End of the World, and 1986's Straight Cut. Other novels explored historical epochs such as the South, Vietnam, Haiti's Slave Rebellion, but Straight Cut stands as Bell's foray into the hardboiled crime arena.

The basic story in Straight Cut is a love triangle between two best friends, Tracy and Kevin, both in the film business, and Lauren, a strikingly beautiful woman, who Tracy marries ostensibly to help her with immigration issues, although he subsequently falls in love with her. It's never clear if it was ever intended to be a real marriage or who is committed to whom. Kevin offers Tracy a job editing a film in Rome, offering twice what Tracy considers to be market rate and Tracy, although he has misgivings, accepts and heads to Rome, only to find that the film is a mess and wondering what the real deal Kevin is involved in is. One day he comes home, stopping first at the trattoria downstairs, only to hear that his wife has returned. Tracy has had a wife on paper, but never a real marriage. He finds that Lauren has been in Europe and is muling a suitcase full of money at Kevin's behest. He sends Lauren home and takes over the muling, wondering all along if that had been Kevin's plan, given that Kevin knows him so well.

Eventually, the story morphs from a self-indulgent love story ostensibly about film editing to a cutthroat heroin deal that takes Tracy across international borders and pursued by gun-toting Bulgarian criminals.

There is underneath everything a strong, hardboiled plot, but it seems lost amidst the lengthy expositions on Tracy's work on the film and his meanderings through Italy.
