  • MAGIC, LIES, AND DEADLY PIES by Misha Popp, read by Tanya Eby

    Audiobook Review

    Tanya Eby delivers a sweet treat in this delightful new audiobook mystery series from Misha Popp. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Sandi Henschel discuss this tale of Daisy, a pie-baking, vigilante, serial-killer-witch who bakes up “murder pies” to settle scores for women who have abusive men in their lives. Daisy, a most unusual heroine, confesses, “The first time I killed a man with a pie, it was an accident. But only the first.” Eby’s Daisy is upbeat and warmhearted, and her quirky and engaging performance makes Daisy’s questionable moral compass unquestionably digestible.

  • A SPY'S LIFE by Henry Porter, read by Matthew Lloyd Davies

    Audiobook Review

    Matthew Lloyd Davies’s performance is intelligent, honest, and compelling in Henry Porter’s intriguing story filled with spycraft and surprises. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Sandi Henschel discuss the many twists and turns that Davies takes listeners down as he performs this terrific audiobook. Robert Harland, ex-British spy, currently works for the UN secretary-general. After surviving a plane crash, he’s drawn back into intelligence work. As narrator, Davies is the complete package.

    Audiobook Review

    English actor Minnie Driver’s captivating performance of her exceptional memoir will have you listening 24/7. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Michele Cobb discuss the memoir told in a series of emotional essays providing insights into Driver’s life as a human, rather than as a star. In witty prose and with great storytelling skill, Driver offers beautifully crafted, often funny, always wise snapshots of her life. Her warm, inviting voice makes you wish to stay long in her company.

  • YOU HAVE A FRIEND IN 10A by Maggie Shipstead, read by Mark Deakins, Mark Bramhall, Ari Fliakos, George Newbern, Kyla Garcia, Alex McKenna, Xe Sands, Rebecca Lowman

    Audiobook Review

    Excellent narration from a bevy of capable narrators enhances Maggie Shipstead’s incisive collection of 10 short stories. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Michele Cobb discuss the collection that showcases Shipstead’s work and breadth of characters from stories written over the past decade. Alex McKenna’s rendition of an actor breaking away from a cult is especially memorable. Shipstead’s complex, flawed characters aren’t altogether likable, but the author has pulled together a sharp and likable collection indeed.

  • COUNTERFEIT by Kirstin Chen, read by Catherine Ho

    Audiobook Review

    Narrator Catherine Ho delivers a stellar performance of this fast-paced caper from Kirstin Chen. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Michele Cobb discuss how Ho perfectly inhabits Ava Wong, a frazzled wife and mom, and Winnie Fang, Ava’s formerly shy classmate who is now rich and full of confidence. Winnie entangles Ava in a global fake handbag scheme. Ho channels both characters’ manipulative and subversive qualities and keeps listeners guessing at what’s real in this entertaining listen.

  • THE 6:20 MAN by David Baldacci, read by Zachary Webber, Christine Lakin, Mela Lee

    Audiobook Review

    Listeners are treated to Zachary Webber’s perfect portrayal of ex-Army Ranger Travis Devine, a trained fighting machine. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Robin Whitten discuss this audiobook that they call an excellent vacation listen. Christine Lakin and Mela Lee share the women’s dialogue, providing well-matched voices for the various characters, while Webber narrates the male characters with skill. The complex story revolves around murders in the financial institution Devine works for. The narrators give a gripping performance, making for a page-turner of an audio experience.

  • THE WEEK by David M. Henkin, read by Pete Cross

    Audiobook Review

    David Henkin’s encyclopedic audiobook is equal parts sociology and arcane history about the human impact of the seven-day week. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Robin Whitten discuss how this mix of history, psychology, sociology, and social observations makes for fascinating listening with Pete Cross at the narrative helm. The author is an expert on the uses and impact of the seven-day week, and he writes in a friendly style. Cross’s sparkling performance makes this a quick listen.

  • ALL THE TEARS IN CHINA by Sulari Gentill, read by Rupert Degas

    Audiobook Review

    Rupert Degas channels the characters in Sulari Gentill’s charming historical mystery. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Robin Whitten discuss the excellent narration of new Golden Voice narrator Rupert Degas. Australian Roland Sinclair, an artist and a gentleman, has a penchant for scandal and finds plenty while in Shanghai. Degas creates fully formed vocal portraits of each of the characters, and his narrative style is one that Golden Age mystery listeners will recognize. Brilliant entertainment from Degas.
