Publisher's Summary:

Sally Benedict, editor of a small-town newspaper, is thrilled to be pregnant - until a series of grave robberies turns her world upside down. When Sally uncovers a link between the grave robberies, herself, and her unborn child, she knows that there is no one she can trust - not her family doctor, not her obstetrician, not anyone in the medical profession.

Members Reviews:

A good thriller with an interesting premise...

I'll admit that I only picked up "Infinity's Child" because it was on the bargain books pile, but when it came time to sit down and read the book, I was quite enraptured.

First off, Stein has written a strong heroine in Sally Benedict. Finally pregnant after a very long time trying, Sally is the editor of a local newspaper in a small town. When graves start to turn up violated - and Sally tracks down that all those graves belong to one family line - her own - things go for a macabre spin pretty quickly. The plot isn't trite - nor are you left totally in the dark. It's a delicate balance to teeter on the edge of having no clue and having just enough clues to jack up the tension, but Stein does it right. This is not a deep novel, but it's full of good thrills.

Sally's husband, Sally herself, and the villains of this book make it a very worthwhile read. It's a "turn the lights on and cover yourself with a blanket," sort of read, and if you enjoyed Ann Werner's "The People Next Door," (or another thriller with a fantastic heroine) you'll definately like this one!

A variation on a theme

In the past several years, many novels have been written about the manipulation of human genes. Unfortunately, most of the stories have similar plot lines. "Infinity's Child" is different. The plot is strongly personalized as it revolves around the heroine's pregnency. The author creates a readable, if not compelling, story. I didn't find myself staying up until the middle of the night turning pages. On the positive side, Stein creates a series of bad guys that crosses almost every job description. There are bad cops, bad journalists, bad medical personnel, mad scientists, and of course, the obligatory hit man. About the only career that escapes is the law. Furthermore, not until the last few pages do we find out who the bad guys really are. There are a couple of characters that you think are bad, then good, then bad, etc. This is a nice touch. And up until the final few pages, I couldn't speculate how the heroine was going to pull off the figurative escape. I! t wasn't easily predictable, but it was also slightly unsatisfying. The biggest fault I can find with the story, is that the author doesn't clearly connect the heroine's child with the scientists' research. But then again, we are dealing with a whole new area.

good book, interesting plot

This book has a good basic plotline. I don't know enough about genetics to comment on whether the science behind it is plausible, but that didn't matter so much to me. The story was good, built up some suspense to the end and included a couple of twists at the end. The plot is not overly involved or complicated, making it a fairly easy read. If the plot had been more complex it would have gotten a 5 star rating from me.

Members Reviews:

An amusing, easy listen.

Simon Brett does it again with this amusing, easy listening Charles Paris. I love Brett's characterisation and his narration is perfect. Unfortunately this audiobook is let down by some poor sound quality which does detract a little from the enjoyment.

You've got to love Charles Paris

Another great Charles Paris murder mystery written and read by Simon Brett.

Charles Paris the dissolute journeyman actor finds himself involved in another mysterious death, I loved the whole story, the characters, the plot twists and sidelines, and of course Simon Bretts excellent reading he has a fantastic imagination to develop such entertaining and enjoyable tales, and wonderful voice to portray the characters and to make his books such successful audio books. Well done Simon and of course Charles for once again solving the mystery! (keep at it Charles, one day there will be a breakthrough in your acting career)

Members Reviews:

Unusual thriller

I read this in print version, one of a few books I picked up at a jumble sale. It is an interesting story based around a series of terrorist style attacks in London. The story is told through several eyes, a couple of the detectives involved and a woman destroyed by the death of her young son. Claudie gets mixed up in the attacks through her job as physio in the Royal Academy of Ballet. Struggling to cope after the death of her son, she suffers symptoms of post traumatic stress and, in the aftermath of a bombing that kills one of her colleagues, her world starts to fall apart all over again. The colleague killed appears to have been lying about her life and the story follows Claudie's attempts to find out who her friend really was alongside the police investigations. This is a tense psychological thriller which I enjoyed. I had some issues with it, it seemed, for instance, that some of the characters motivations were hard to reconcile. However, suspending disbelief I did enjoy the read.

Any additional comments?

I try to avoid audio books with swearing in them - it totally ruins the pleasure of an AUDIObook for me, I wished I'd know before I purchased this one.

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 2 votes

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense

Publisher's Summary:

A fascinating and character-driven thriller, this novel delves into the deepest bonds of friendship, all accompanied by a rock n roll beat.

After Richard Zale receives news of the death of a childhood friend, he returns to their hometown to pay his respects. It isnt long, however, before old frictions and a new puzzle emerge, drawing him deeper into the mystery of his friends demise.

Critic Reviews:

Terrific! Great characters, great plot. (Jon Polito, actor,American Gangster)

Members Reviews:

"Something unkind was hiding in this quiet town."

Fulmer finds inspiration in music, whether the "jass" of New Orleans' Storyville or the rock'n'roll beat of Philly in the 50s. In The Fall, it all begins with yet another classic sellout, the Beatles' "She Loves You" tapped for use by a corporation. Married father of two girls enjoying a successful career in commercials while waiting for a theatrical break, Richard Zale steps into the past, memories of adolescent years with best friend Joey Sesto in Wyanossing, Pa. Impulsively, Zale attempts to get in touch with Joey to share the outrage, only to discover from Joey's sister, Angela, that his friend has fallen to his death in a bizarre accident. Although wife Isabel considers Zale's idea with some skepticism, Zale is determined to return to Wyanossing, plagued by guilt and a need for closure.

Stepping back into time when he enters the world of adolescence and childhood friends, Zale finds that not much has changed, even post-9/11, the same familiar faces grown more mature while Richard chose another path in New York. The meeting with Angela is bittersweet and it is here that Fulmer lays the emotional trap for his middle-aged protagonist, the awakening of an old romance with his best friend's younger sister, growing doubts about the circumstances of Joey's death and the obvious hostility of men "Richie" has known all his life, many of whom actively disliked Sesto. What begins as a nostalgic trip to assuage feeling s of regret and loss become far more complicated as Richie investigates Joey's activities before his untimely death.

Dancing with the dangers of attraction while staying with Angela, Richie strains his wife's patience, but is unable to leave, Joey's death looking more suspicious by the day. While a young waitress flirts with an eye to a career in New York, others follow Richie's every move. Zale learns why you can't go home again, but not before some ugly truths are revealed and Zale stares into the barrel of a gun pointed at him and Angela. From simple regret to murder, Fulmer's adventure down memory lane is fraught with unexpected menace, memory a foolish distraction in an age of terrorism and the futility of best intentions. Luan Gaines/2010.

Very good contemporary mystery

First Sentence: Later, after it was all over, I spent some time thinking about how it was for him at the end.

Actor and voice-over artist Richard Zale makes the trip back to his hometown after learning about the death of a childhood friend. While guilt of having been out of touch for so long may have drawn him back, questions about his friend's death keep him there. Why would someone terrified of heights commit suicide by jumping from an outcrop of rock?

The common man in an uncommon situation is a theme I appreciate, when done well, and Fulmer does it very well.

With at least three people claiming to be Amandas killer, it seems there is a lot more to the Montrose murder than first meets the eye.

Members Reviews:

Unlinked

Fun stuff, as are the others. But the authorial/editorial carelessness is deplorable: a main character starts out being called "Ewan Montrose", then halfway in switches to being called "Ewan Melrose". He remains that way till the end, with a few one-off switches back and forth on the way. A bunch of loose ends too, but that is an ongoing problem with this author, who doesn't bother with a little thing called denouement, in which plot points are neatly tied off and the reader is given an emotional glide landing, rather than the jarring bump coming to earth that Holms, unconscionably lazy, gives one every time. She's not very skillful at resolutions, which, given how clever she is with plotting, is strange. But perhaps once the plotting has come to an end and the big dramatic climax is achieved, she just doesn't care and can't be bothered to do anything but come to a crashing stop. Too bad, because a nice satisfying gentle wrap-up would hardly seem to be beyond her capabilities. It seems as if she gets bored and decides to just crash. She does it in all her books, not just this one. Disappointing

The recipient did not like it at all

I bought it as a gift. It was on a wish list, but the wrong wish list. The recipient did not like it at all. They gave it to a friend and the friend did not like it.

Three Stars

Entertaining but a bit too much repetition from previous books in the series.

Fizz and Buchanan, a little closer

In Missing Link, Fizz is confronted by a sweet little old lady, seemingly sane, who wants to find proof that she committed a murder for whom someone else has been arrested. Plenty of twists and excitement for both Fizz and Buchanan, both of whom have grown up a little, but only a little. Love these guys!

Members Reviews:

an OK book

I enjoyed elements of this book - the idea of humans being overtaken by intelligent hybrids worked well. It moved at a decent pace, wasn't hard to follow, and a good ending which tied things up well and didn't leave the reader hanging. The story was filled with a few well placed unexpected twists, which always ups the interest level. There are some passages that were a bit too unbelievable and I felt the author lost his track and it got a bit tedious when the main character is fleeing from country to country to rally together resistance fighters. I agree that this is very light fluffy sci fi fiction for passing the time, but if you like this kind of thing then it's quite a good book. Definitively aimed at the late teen market.

good but not overwhelming

An honest sci fi thriller. Maybe too sentimental. sci fi might not please to pure thriller lovers. Good, but not outstanding performance of Matt Bomer, excellent in the series "White collar" but not at his best here.

I didn't like mixing music and words at the beginning of each part. Makes understanding words more difficult.

Chapters seemed to be gathered into sections without any clear plan.

Toys - James Patterson

Fantastic fast paced thriller, I devoured it like a hungry dog! Narrator is very easy to listen to, only drawback over 100 chapters. Patterson at his best.

Bond plus Superman

This is a teenagers book, if you are an adult move on. Very American with some background lift music. Definitely Sci-Fi light.

Gangster Girl.enjoyable listen, a bit far fetched

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

Very entertaining book... well narrated and keeps you gripped throughout the two parts. Storyline starts well then gets a bit daft as the author starts to try and connects too many dots, which starts to become too coincidental, unrealistic and predictable.

Still worth a listen

brilliant writer of crime
