Publisher's Summary:

Charles Paris, an out-of-work actor, takes a star gig is as a forklift driver in a Delmoleen Company corporate video. Something about Delmoleen is deeply troubling to Charles. That "happy family" facade may be just that. Mockery, jealousy, lust, envy, they all seem to be pervasive. Still, the work is easy and the money is good; it's even fun learning to manipulate a forklift. But it's a responsibility too, as Charles soon discovers: a forklift can be made into a potent murder weapon.

Editorial Reviews:

Actor Simon Jones performs Simon Bretts Corporate Bodies, the 14th in his Charles Paris series of mystery novels, which follow the exploits of an alcoholic and perpetually out-of-work actor as he finds himself embroiled again and again in dangerous - and sometimes even deadly - mysteries, which seem to follow wherever he goes.

Jones is a skillful performer whose light narration draws out the deft humor of this engrossing whodunit, and his blunt, lively delivery is brisk and engaging, trapping listeners in the rapidly escalating tensions of this gripping audiobook.

Immersion Reading

The author, Randall Silvis, has developed the skills and vocabulary of twentieth century writers. Through gorgeous descriptions, this book makes the settings and people come alive for those who want to immerse themselves in another time and place. I'd have given it five stars, but I found it a little difficult to imagine Edgar AllaOn Night's Shore: A Novel (Edgar Allan Poe Mysteries)n Poe in the role of detective. .

A wonderful portrayal of Poe

The mystery was really good and I enjoyed the characters and their relationships. The way the author used the kind of language and words that Poe might have used in the telling of the story was delightful.

Good Story, Well Written

Beautifully written, with well-developed characters and an interesting twist-and-turns story about E.A. Poe, I really rnjoyed this book. A made up story...or was it?

DNF

Lots of âcharacter development,â but very little happens that isnât depressing.

not so good

the bbc shows with bill nigh are great. the book was boring and poorly written

Members Reviews:

Just okay

Sounded good - mages, witches, magic and romance but the story was just a bit slow, too sweet and it seemed to just skim over the surface of what could have been a much more interesting plot.

Worth a credit? I didn't think so, but if you like light listens then go for it.

Cheesy Romance Novel

This was basically a romance novel with some "magic" thrown in. The author did not create any kind of world within the story, nor did she really explain how the magic works. The story was boring.

A Matter of Loyalty - Sandra Howard

A Matter Of Loyalty is Sandra Howard's most recent novel in a series starting with Glass Houses and followed by Ursula's Story.

They tell the story of Victoria, a minister in the British Government. The novels trace her career, the breakup of her first marriage and subsequent marriage to the Editor of one of England's most powerful newspapers. The stories are about the impact on her family and each novel concentrates on one specific member of that family with the backdrop always being the current political climate of the Country.

A Matter of Loyalty explores the developing relationship between Victoria's daughter Nattie and a young Muslim reporter. London has just endured a terrorist attack and the press and the public are seeking answers. The fact that the Home Secretary's daughter is involved with a Muslim who may or may not have terrorist connections sees Victoria's loyalties tested.

Sandra Howard draws her characters beautifully and tells her narrative with skill and subtleness.

A great stand alone read but even better if you read this novel as the third in a series.

Fingers crossed that Sandra Howard is working on the next instalment.

Former Vietnam POW Jacob Slaughter is sent to Hanoi to negotiate a trade agreement on behalf of the United States. Back in-country, he is escorted to a rotting building where he is outraged to find his former cellmate and friend, Captain Charles Wooten, still being held. Wooten's condition is pathetic but he's alive. How much longer is up to Slaughter. Slaughter returns to Washington and fights for the trade concessions Vietnam has demanded before they'll give Wooten and 22 other American soldiers their freedom.

Members Reviews:

Hard-as-nails hero makes great reading

Despite some overdrawn scenes early on when the narrator, a former POW named Slaughter, a negotiator in Hanoi at the specific request of the Vietnamese, is taken under guard to a rundown building where his former Captain, still a prisoner after more than 20 years, is dragged into his presence in chains. Walking K by Wes DeMott soon calms down and takes on a more believable tone.

The Vietnamese reveal that they still hold 22 more American prisoners, to be released only upon the granting of most favored nation status by the US. Slaughter must get them out or die trying.

The pace of the read accelerates as he reports what he's learned to his boss, the Secretary of State - who despite Slaughter's statements seems anxious to deny the possibility of any prisoners remaining alive.

The Department of Defense too, and maybe even the White House, play their own private hands, and everyone Slaughter goes to flatly rejects the possibility that Americans might still be held prisoner.

Slaughter is a hard one, though, completely honest and sincere. With live-in psychiatrist Laura, who once cured him of the nightmares only now beginning to haunt him again, on his side, he's not backing down, no matter what. Slaughter knows the response to his refusal to desist might be terminal, and begins to take precautions. Sure enough, he's fired. Soon, his bank accounts, credit cards, driver's license all disappear. So far as officialdom is concerned, he never existed. Slaughter must hurry. There will be an assassin too. He's out of time.

At this point, the reader is totally immersed in author DeMott's story. What began with difficulty is now a roaring juggernaut. I won't spoil the ending, but men who like hard-as-nails adventure will share my enthusiasm for this work.

Art Tirrell is the author ofThe Secret Ever Keeps

How the story opens, and a recommendation.

This is a slightly altered excerpt from my column in the STAR-ADVOCATE, March 18, 1998;

WALKING K is a thriller that I couldn't put down, except for rude interruptions such as dinner and taking out the trash.

The story opens with the protagonist, a Foreign Service Officer and former P.O.W., visiting Hanoi at the request of the Vietnamese government. It seems that Hanoi is seeking Most Favored Nation status, and their agent presents our hero with a bargaining chip. As he is led into the depths of an ancient, molding building, an ugly sensation of deja vu grows with each step. He is confronted by a terrible spectacle: his old cell-mate, still in captivity, broken in body but not in spirit. And there are 22 others.

I won't give the plot away. But consider the ramifications that would follow such an event, and then pick up a copy of Wes DeMott's Walking K.

Critic Reviews:

"All in all a throughly enjoyable read and perfect for taking on holiday." (The Bookbag)

Members Reviews:

contemporary Brit mystery-cozy that's not cute-sy

Good and fairly original mystery plot, interesting characters, over and above the narrative - not professional detectives nor amaetur sleuths, just intelligent people getting caught up in a murder mystery while going about their complex lives. Good setting details with snippets of church life (not unlike the American Julia Spencer Flemming in that regard). Not a church-y book, though -- the church goers (and abstainers) are just trying to fit that cultural piece in their identity puzzle as the story unfolds around them.

Though it's not a Christmas book there's a bit of a Christmas setting, so this would be perfect light reading during that holiday. No grisly violence, no graphic sex, no superhero action figures, but realistic characters and relationships against the crime backdrop in a well described contemporary British community.

This is one in a series, but the stories are stand alone. I hope Audible gets more by this versatile author. Well-narrated, too.

Awesome

One of the most riveting who done its I have ever heard. Well read but fantastically written. Read it! You won't regret it.

Classic Cozy Mystery - a pleasure to read

Nothing seems to go right on Friday the thirteenth for Robyn Kelly, Patient Relations manager at Madrona Bay Hospital in Seattle, when she collects professional and personal crises like a movie star collects fans.

First, she is confronted by an injured homeless man who wanders into her office. Then nurses and a food service worker complain about a flasher patient, who turns up dead--murdered--when Robyn goes to his room to speak with him. On the personal front, her friend, Detective Pierce, injures his back hauling gardening supplies for her. And then her son announces he's going to Africa as a volunteer for a company Robyn has never heard of. Next her father, who considers himself invincible, has to be convinced to come to the hospital to be evaluated after he collapses at his ranch.

When Detective Pierce, now trussed up in traction, asks Robyn to quietly look into the details surrounding the murder of the patient, she begins to unearth unexpected issues related to the hospital. But, how can she investigate and get all her work done when the new hospital administrator insists Robyn take over for him in writing reports, presenting same, and participating in numerous meetings long on time-wasting? Meanwhile, situations on all fronts begin to escalate.

Robyn begins to suspect someone in the hospital has to be involved. Is it the unpleasant contract nurse whose behavior at Madrona Bay and other hospitals is less than stellar? A hospital staffer who has it in for Robyn? The homeless man whose hospital room begins to look more like a pleasant hotel suite each day that he remains there?

Can Robyn, with the help of Detective Pierce, still unable to walk, solve the case before his boss intends to charge her with the murder? Mystery buffs will thoroughly enjoy trying to identify the clues and evidence that Robyn will need to put together before she gets herself killed by the real perpetrator.

"Dirty Laundry" by Liz Osborne was awarded the First Place Blue Ribbon for Cozy Mysteries in the Chanticleer Book Reviews Writing Competition 2012. This is the second novel in the Robyn Kelly Mystery series. Cozy mystery fans will find Robyn Kelly an engaging amateur sleuth fighting crime, and sometimes fighting for her life, in a deadly arena --the hospital where she works. Readers will never look at hospitals in the same way again after reading this well researched classic cozy.

A cozy mystery with too much cozy and not enough mystery

While Osborne's writing is pretty good and her main character, Robyn, is likeable, this book has way too many side stories: her son is thinking of going to Africa, her father has medical troubles, her roof needs replacing, she has to figure out why a new mom doesn't want her baby, and on and on.
