Publisher's Summary:

Emily Johnston is gone. She's been gone for more than a week. She's also the daughter of Harry Starke's one-time boss and nemesis, Chattanooga Police Chief Wesley Johnston. Harry and Chief Johnston haven't seen eye-to-eye in a long time, but when Johnston needs help, he knows there's only one man he can turn to. But Johnston's jurisdiction ends at the city limits and when Emily's body is discovered in a remote part of the county, Harry has to deal with the imperious sheriff, Israel Hands and two incompetent county detectives. So begins an investigation that will take Harry on a wild ride across Signal Mountain, a case that will include a second murder, two cold cases, sex, alternative lifestyles, and deadly danger for Harry and his friends, until...well, as always, there's a twist in the tale.

No Such Thing as Safe Autoerotica Partners!

Would you listen to Gone again? Why?

Yes, I'm a fan of the Harry Starke series. The plot is just a bit different. The case needs the skills of Harry Starke to solve. And Blair Howard writes a "mean" thriller. Another reason? The Narrator, Tom Lennon.

What did you like best about this story?

Of course, it starts as a murder. Investigating turns up several suspected scenerios. The investigations by the main character and supporting cast keep you hooked.

Have you listened to any of Tom Lennons other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes, I have and this audio book continues with the same high quality. Good pacing, listenable. Sean Connery IS James Bond. Tom Lennon IS Harry Starke.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

A Case of Murder... or Two. Is that a Rolex on your wrist?

Any additional comments?

I appreciate the opportunity to listen to and review this work!

This audiobook was provided by the narrator at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review. Thanks!

Another good Harry Starke

Here we go again. Same location, same cast of characters (even some of the the bad guys have ties to an earlier book), same narrator (he is Harry to me).

The plot delves into some really nasty criminal activity preying on young girls yet somehow manages to give a respectful laugh or two. Never belittles the crime itself. That's the Harry we all know and love, right? Eye on the ball, gun on the hip, and one liner always on the lips. Howard manages to write dead serious dialogue about some very dark topics that isn't depressing.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it and these books are definitely not broke. The formula works - Count me in for the next one as well. Same time, same place, same station.

Another Awesome Story!

Blair Howard and Tom Lennon are both very talented. I love how each book is a standalone, yet is consistent in details. The twists and turns are wonderful. In this particular book I really thought the narrator did a fantastic job conveying the grief over Emily. My review is not a synopsis of the book, but rather my opinion of it. I do not like giving away spoilers in my reviews. I was voluntarily provided with this review copy audiobook at no charge by the author, narrator, and/or publisher.

Publisher's Summary:

A psychopathic killer is stalking the women of Sydney.

Federal Agent Clayton Munro, a criminal profiler with the Australian Federal Police (AFP), has been called upon to assist in hunting down a vicious murderer who is intent upon carving up his victims while they are still alive. Guilt-stricken over his wife's suicide, Clayton is forced to set aside his personal issues in order to focus on the case.

Detective Ellie Cooper is also no stranger to heartache. Pregnant and abandoned at the altar by a fiancé intent on pursuing a career with the AFP, her opinion of the elite body of officers is anything but favorable. Angered when her boss orders her to partner with the fed, she is determined not to cut him any slack.

But women are dying on the streets of western Sydney and the pressure is mounting to find the person responsible.

Will Clayton and Ellie be able to put aside their animosity and work together to catch a killer before it's too late? And what about the special fascination the killer seems to have with Ellie?

Members Reviews:

The Profiler

This was my first Chris Taylor book but definitely not my last. There was plenty of action, drama, suspense and romance. Narration by Aiden Snow was perfect as always. His deep sexy voice adds the perfect touch to this already great book. HEA and no cliffhanger.

Great introduction to new characters

enjoyed the detective and suspense story very much. the love story more PG-13 please thank you

I just cant get into this book DNF after 3 hours.

Hmmm. Sad to say I just couldn't get into this book. It was just boring and seemed all over the place to me. I listened for 3 hours and I give up. Sorry, this is not a very helpful review. Just not for me I guess.

As for the narration, he does a well enough job. Not the worst, not the best either.

This was a free book on amazon and 1.99 listen. Oh well.

Not quite 4 stars for the story..

This was a pretty good mystery. I liked Clayton and Ellie BUT I thought it was rather stupid that she didnt want anyone to know about the death of her son. AND, like soooo many other stories, he wasnt ready to let go of the wife that committed suicide 3 years ago. He kept telling himself, like soooo many others that he couldnt feel anything for Ellie because he still loved his dead wife, maybe. Really? Havent authors written that to death?

Anyway, I liked this book, and I liked the sexual attraction that went on between Clayton and Ellie. They were trying to solve the murders and trying also to keep their minds off each other all the time.

That said, I didnt like the prologue at all. When it involves an adult being mean and hateful to a kid, and you just know hes going to get a beating, I cant wait to finish reading that part. Yeah, and I want that adult dead, I admit it. And, of course, you knew that the abused kid was the serial killer. And what he did to those women was just horrible and gross. BUT, I could put up with all that if the book is well written. What I cant put up with is when the author tries to make the story like real life and throws in disgusting stuff. I dont know how many heroines Ive read about that had gotten taken by the bad guy and she suffered with cuts and bruises and a broken bone or two, BUT I have never read about a heroine tied to a table and actually PEED on herself and the bad guy screeched at her about it.

Zusammenfassung des Herausgebers:

Very British - drei England-Krimis in einem Band!

Tödliche Beichte: Am Rande von Cherringham befindet sich das Kloster St. Francis. In dem kleinen katholischen Lehrorden lebt eine Handvoll Nonnen, die sich der Religion, der Kontemplation und dem Gebet widmen. Genau an diesem Ort ereilt den beliebten örtlichen Pfarrer Pater Byrne an Ostern gänzlich unerwartet der Tod. Die Umstände sind verdächtig, und bald beschäftigen sich Jack und Sarah mit dem Fall. Welche Geheimnisse nahm Pater Byrne mit ins Grab? Wer wollte seinen Tod? Und ist Frömmigkeit gleichbedeutend mit Unschuld?

Spuren an Deck: Es sind nur noch wenige Tage bis zur Cherringham Regatta, dem jährlichen Ereignis, das Luxusjachten aus dem ganzen Land anzieht. Auch die örtlichen Bootsbesitzer freuen sich auf die große Party auf dem Fluss. Allerdings wird die Vorfreude darauf getrübt, als es zu vermehrten Schiffsverwüstungen kommt und ein wohlhabender Manager verschwindet, auf dessen Bootsdeck sich Spuren von seinem Blut finden. Und während die Regatta beständig näher rückt, entdecken Jack und Sarah, dass hinter dem Vandalismus vermeintlichen ein Mord steckt.

Verhängnisvolle Sommernacht: In einer Sommernacht vor fünfundzwanzig Jahren verließ Tim Bell zusammen mit der begabten jungen Musikerin Dinah Taylor den Jahrmarkt im Dorf, um mit ihr zu einem abgelegenen Plätzchen zu fahren. Dinah wurde danach nie wieder gesehen, und Bell, dessen Kleidung voller Blutspritzer war, wanderte wegen Mordes ins Gefängnis. Nach seiner Entlassung kehrt Bell nach Cherringham zurück, wo ihm jene nach dem Leben trachten, in deren Augen noch keine Gerechtigkeit geübt wurde. Jack und Sarah hingegen fragen sich, ob Bell tatsächlich schuldig war oder der wahre Mörder damals ungeschoren davonkam. Während Cherringham unter einer Hitzewelle ächzt, bleibt den beiden nur wenig Zeit, um die Wahrheit aufzudecken bevor noch jemand stirbt.

Title: The Bockhampton Road Murders

Subtitle: The Reverend Bernard Paltoquet Mystery Series, Book 1

Author: Pat Herbert

Narrator: Karl R. Hart

Format: Unabridged

Length: 10 hrs and 41 mins

Language: English

Release date: 07-04-16

Publisher: New Publications

Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 9 votes

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Modern Detective

Publisher's Summary:

Sometimes we're not alone.

What is the secret behind the brutal murders that have taken place sporadically over the last century in a small, insignificant South London terraced house?

The Reverend Bernard Paltoquet is determined to find out when two of his favorite parishioners are found with their heads caved in in front of the ornate Victorian fireplace by their five-year-old son, Henry Freeman.

This fireplace seems to be the key to the puzzle. Despite years of neglect, the living room hearth is always spotlessly clean, like the day it was installed. Why?

This novel centers around the Reverend Paltoquet and his search for the truth. The other chief protagonist is Edith Lomax, an unhappily married doctor's wife, who resides in 57 Bockhampton Road, where the first murders take place back in 1896. This triple murder of a man and two children sets in train the series of murders that are to follow.

The search for the truth, which involves another six murders by the same fireplace in the same room in the same house following on from the first murders, culminates in the present day with an exorcism that doesn't work. We discover that there are many restless spirits trapped in the house, forced to remain by the violence of their deaths, and unable to communicate with the living world until a medium helps to set them free.

Reverend Paltoquet's close friend, Dorothy Plunkett, is that medium. He calls on her to help these spirits to their final rest, and this is when we learn the truth behind the murders. And the real perpetrator of the crimes.

Members Reviews:

... at first but as the story progressed it got better. over all it's a great novel

switching from one period of time to the other was a bit of a turn off at first but as the story progressed it got better. over all it's a great novel, well written, couldn't let go of the book at times. looking forward to the next book.

Three Stars

A bit of a slow start, but then picked up and piqued my interest more.

Great book to curl up with in front of a fire ;-)

This is a terrific read with a great ending. When Jerry Bracegirdle buys the dilapidated 57 Bockhampton Road property he finds he's got more than just home repair problems. People have been murdered in this house and it seems to be infested with an evil that dates back to a triple murder in 1896. Jerry will find the truth with the help of the Reverend Bernard Paltoquet, Dr Robbie MacTavish, and medium Dorothy Plunkett (along with a helpful cabdriver named Omar Kemal). The author does a wonderful job of telling the stories from 1896, 1952, 1966 and other significant years interwoven with Jerry's story set in 2008.

Five Stars

very good book!!!

Three Stars

Very interesting but disappointed to see evil win as an end result.

Publisher's Summary:

Miranda Vaughn was once falsely accused of stealing millions, and now she's helping others who are facing criminal charges. While being an assistant to her former defense attorney isn't Miranda's dream job, she's eager to prove herself, and her first task is a simple one - protect Kathryn, a shy CFO turned informant, and help her prove that a popular real estate developer is embezzling millions from his company. But what should be a straightforward assignment is deliciously complicated when Miranda is thrown together with FBI Agent Jake Barnes, the man who saved her life, broke her heart, and then disappeared.

Beneath the neatly plotted rows of new homes lurk dark secrets, bitter feuds and a whole lot of greed. Nothing is what it appears; even Miranda's timid client is hiding secrets of her own. Despite her growing distrust of her client, Miranda must protect Kathryn from becoming the target of the FBI's investigation and protect herself from the real thief - all while protecting her heart from the sexy FBI agent she can't seem to resist.

Members Reviews:

Up a trellis 3 floors from the ground

Another excellent mystery headlining Miranda Vaughn!

She works for the lawyer who saved her from a wrongful fraud charge and who now is personally involved with her aunt. A new case comes in where her expertise is needed. She meets some real high fliers, does a spot or two of questionable entry, faces the same FBI agent, has her car involved in an explosion, and gets shot at. But there's lots more, and enough plot twists to make your head spin! Reading the first book is not a necessity, but another totally enjoyable work.

I requested and received a free audio copy of this one because I had really enjoyed Chasing the Dollar last year.

Teri Schnaubelt performed both of them, and was awesome!

Temporary headline

Miranda has learned that "not guilty" is not the same as "innocent" in the mind of the public. She's now working for her defense attorney, who is now also her mother's lover. (Awkward.) And she's protecting a corporate CFO who claims her boss may be doing something illegal with the books.

The mystery is interesting. Miranda is likeable. There are twists and turns to keep you guessing. And maybe there's the potential of a little romance, although the FBI agent who's investigating the CFO's allegations is giving decidedly mixed signals.

I enjoyed this and will listen again. I recommend it.

(Disclosure: I received a free copy of this audio book in exchange for an honest review.)

A fun read, brilliantly performed.

Would you listen to Dropping the Dime again? Why?

Yes, I would listen to this book again but not before I dive into the rest of the series.

Superbly entertaining and marvellously performed. The book held my attention for the entire time.

What does Teri Schnaubelt bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?

I really loved the narration of this book. The narrator puts a lot of effort into performing the characters which she does very well but she also has the great skill of knowing how to tell a story which is completely different to merely reading the words out loud from the page.

Publisher's Summary:

Stephen Fox may be a moron, but he may also be America's next president. The dimwitted legislator is just smart enough to know when to smile for the camera. But two women stand in the way of his campaign: his mistress and his wife, who has never recovered from the death of their daughter, a pain she manages by devoting herself to fundraising for children with Down syndrome.

During a weekend-long charity extravaganza on Long Island Sound, Fox's candidacy goes off the rails in a spectacularly bloody fashion. Ex-FBI investigator Gregor Demarkian is the first on the scene. Fox's entourage of political handlers may lie for a living, but Demarkian has a way of ferreting out the truth, and he will nab the killer before the last firework sounds.

Members Reviews:

A modern mystery for Golden Age fans

I've really enjoyed David Colacci's excellent readings of the most recent Jane Haddam mysteries and I squeaked with joy when I saw they are starting to release the back catalog on Audible too. Colacci has such a nice deep voice, soothing yet expressive, and I love Jane Haddam's mysteries, they follow the pattern of the Golden Age (a logical mystery, fair clues, interesting characters) but they are set in modern America. Each of Haddam's books is framed by Gregor Demarkian and the crew from Cavanaugh Street, but dives deep into a different aspect of Amercan society. The first dozen or so myseries in the series also showcase a different holiday ( the series title was originally the Gregor Demarkian Holiday Mysteries, but I think she dropped the holiday aspect when she changed publishers, anyway, it disappears about halfway through the series). Ths time, the holiday is July the Fourth and the aspect of American society being plumbed is the political sausage factory, with lobbyists, political operatives and a Senator who is being groomed for the presidency gathering at the lavish Oyster Bay home of a Hollywood legend. It's really good fun.

Publisher's Summary:

"A terrific series." - New York Times best-seller William Martin.

The gold standard in mysteries that dovetail travel, cuisine, and wine. In between enjoying sumptuous food and wine, the "Winemaker Detective" grapples with deceit and deception in Old World Europe.

France's top wine expert Benjamin Cooker sets off to enjoy the delights of Vienna, a romantic ride down the Danube, a gourmand's visit to Budapest, and a luxury train through the enchanting Hungarian countryside. All too soon, stolen wallets, disappearing passports, guides who are a bit too obliging, and murder mar the trip.

Meanwhile, in Bordeaux, Cooker's handsome assistant Virgile faces an annoying rival and a mildew crisis in the vineyards just as Cooker's lab technician is the victim of a mugging.

If you love cozy culinary mysteries, amateur detective stories, international mysteries with French flair, or anything wine-related, this made-for-TV series offers armchair travel at its best with gentle mysteries.

Critic Reviews:

Light and enjoyable If you feel like taking an armchair tour of France, this series hits just the right spot. (Star Tribune)

Members Reviews:

Food, wine and travel guide incorporated in an enjoyable mystery in European wine country

Le French Book has favored the English language readers with yet another mystery translated from the French by Sally Pane. Authors Jean-Pierre Alaux and Noel Balen are Frenchmen who are passionate about dining, wine and a good mystery. They developed the concept for a mystery series featuring a thoughtful wine connoisseur who can always ferret out the resolution of the myriad mysteries that come up in the grape-growing countries of Europe.

Tainted Tokay incorporates two mysteries (three if one counts the crisis in the vineyards of Chateau Blanchard,) which demand resolution in two locations at the same time. Benjamin Cooker has made his reputation as a wine consultant and as author of a best selling guide book on wine. He is invited by his publisher to cruise the Danube, highlighted by a visit to the Tokaji wine making region. But just as he and his wife are prepping to leave, his lab director in Bordeaux is victimized by an unknown mugger and will be out of commission at a particularly busy time in the lab.

But, not to worry, he is told by his right hand man Virgile Lanssien, who assures Benjamin that he can take care of the lab and watch over Alexandrine de La Palussiere as she recuperates.

The plot gets complicated on both fronts quickly and Benjamin is dealing with murder and deceit on the cruise while Virgile is dealing with the mysterious Alexandrine...is the mugger really unknown to her, or is she protecting someone? In this book we learn much more about Alexandrine's past.

Virgile does some detective work, though he does keep Benjamin in the loop, perhaps because he is the boss, but also because his insights, though offered long distance, may help Virgile move forward on the home front.

Zusammenfassung des Herausgebers:

Eine Schweineniere im Hundenapf, unerklärliche Asthmaattacken und manipulierte Autobremsen: Die Familie von Max Querchers alter Schulfreundin Nina Poschner, einer reichen Pharmaerbin, wird massiv bedroht.

Nina vermutet einen Schweizer Unternehmer hinter den Vorkommnissen, der unter allen Umständen die Arzneimittelfirma ihres Vaters übernehmen möchte. Quercher und seine Kollegen vom LKA hingegen glauben, dass die Ursache für die Übergriffe in Ninas politischem Engagement liegt: Sie will am See ein Internat für Migranten aufziehen und "Gottes Warteraum", wie die Gegend von Spöttern bezeichnet wird, mit Flüchtlingen aus aller Welt verjüngen. Das wiederum stößt im konservativen Tegernseer Tal auf wenig Gegenliebe. Doch als Quercher herausfindet, dass Nina vor Jahren in Afrika dubiose Testreihen für ein Mittel gegen Cholera zu verantworten hatte und dafür den Tod von Menschen billigend in Kauf nahm, beginnt er, an den edlen Motiven seiner Schulfreundin zu zweifeln.

Allerdings steht auch seine eigene Glaubwürdigkeit auf dem Prüfstand, da er zunehmend an Wahnvorstellungen und Panikattacken leidet. Das bleibt seiner Umgebung nicht verborgen...

Interesting light reading

After spending the past 1 1/2 years reading everything I can get my hands on about Lyme disease and tick-borne infections, I thought reading a "fun" Lyme book would be a nice change of pace. It was. I wasn't blown away by the book, but I would certainly recommend it as light reading. I also liked the fact it is a relatively short book so that I didn't spend too much time on it. However, as a Lyme patient, I did find it really weird to have my real life woven into what's not all that fictional of a story.

Important and enjoyable read for everyone

I rarely read fiction. I am bored by mystery "thrillers" because I can always guess the ending. Not this time! Mr. Bradley is one heck of a writer who gave me truth to fill in my real life suspicions about Lyme, an authentic cop's-eye-view of criminal investigation, and (for the first time since Alfred Hitchcock was on TV) a story I couldn't predict. The copy I read was a "loaner" from a friend, but I am here to buy a copy to circulate through my family. Everyone. and especially doctors and their patients suffering with Lyme, needs to know what Mr. Bradley has so skillfully woven into an enjoyable day's read.

A Suspenseful Thriller

Do you or does someone you know have a chronic illness which has no known cause, definitive test, or cure? This description would include such diseases as Multiple Sclerosis, Fibromyalgia, ALS, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Parkinson's, Lupus, Fibromyalgia, Arthritis, Alzheimer's, Bipolar Depression and others. If this relates to anyone you know, I would strongly suggest that you read The Lyme Conspiracy by Joseph Bradley.

Members Reviews:

A well crafted and funny mystery.

This book had me laughing from start to finish!

Love the back and forth banter between Brandy Borne and her mother Vivian...and the refereeing from the editor. And the tongue in cheek humour Barbara Allan injects throughout.

A well crafted and funny mystery. The first one in the 'Trash 'n' Treasure' mysteries that I have read. And loved it so much, that I have brought Antiques Roadkill.

Romy Nordlinger gives a wonderful narration of this story, that made it a joy to listen to.
