    Publisher's Summary:
    Alexa Chambers has a flair for style, an eye for art - and a reputation in tatters. An expert in Art Deco, she blew the whistle on an employer who was selling fakes to wealthy clients. Her payoff? No job and no prospects. Now she runs a shop in her hometown of Avalon, Arizona - a hot spot for crystal devotees and sunset gazers. But gutsy, energetic Alexa has no intention of sitting still. She's ready to take risks to rebuild her career... and she secretly consults on an exquisite deco collection being installed at the new Avalon Resorts. Her scheme might just work - if she can steer clear of the resort's owner, the enigmatic and possibly dangerous J. L. Trask.
    Alexa was a scared teenager the last time she saw Trask, the man who accused her stepfather of murder. Insisting his dad's fatal car crash had been no accident, Trask vowed one day he'd come back to Avalon for revenge. Now, 12 years later, their meeting is inevitable. Their attraction is immediate. And their chances of bliss are infinitesimal.
    Trask wants to piece together the past with Alexa's help - and get closer to this dazzling deco diva. Alexa wants to protect her family - and figure out Trask's real motivations. But when a killer emerges from the shadows, they have no choice but to team up to solve a deadly crime from long ago.
    Critic Reviews:
    "Thriller fraught with tension both sexual and suspenseful.... The prolific Krentz....once again demonstrates her knack for page-turning plots that masterfully inveigle and misdirect readers up to a surprising denouement." (Publishers Weekly)
    "In the eye of the romance reader, Jayne Ann Krentz remains one of the great authors of the decade.... This wonderful writer always provides an entertaining story. Readers will relish the exciting story line. The lead protagonists are a warm, intrepid duo." (barnesandnoble.com)

    Easy read
    Not the greatest book I have listened to, but enjoyed the course of it, on the road it kept me interested as it was easy to listen to. A little like a lifetime movie.
    Good sleuthing
    The whole murder/suspense thing was pretty well done and with lots of plot twists. The art world background was pretty interesting. The "hop into bed as quickly as possible" felt awfully contrived this time. Not a bad tale, and does hold interest through most of the book. See publisher's blurb for more clues.
    The narrator did good character differentiation, but the intonation of the MC sounded more like an irritating early teen.
    Great story!
    This is one of my favorite JAK books. I like everything about it. On the Audible version, the narrator was a little distracting. She made Alexa so shrill sometimes it made her annoying. She could have expressed her indignation in a lower tone of voice. Trask was done very well. But the other men all sounded like they had a sore throat, or were 90 years old. Other female narrators do the same thing. I wonder why they bother to try. Male narrators that Ive heard make little differentiation in their voices for female or male characters and its not a distraction at all. Because I like the story so much I will probably listen again despite the narration issues.

    Publisher's Summary:
    Even the bright seaside village of Molena Point has been hit hard by the economic downturn. Sadly, former residents havent just left their homes; theyve abandoned their pets, too. Luckily, Joe Greys human friends have joined together to care for the animals. But just as one problem is solved more arise. A suspicious fire leaves a twelve-year-old boy homeless when the body of his alcoholic elderly guardian is discovered in the smoldering ruins. Then, a woman with two children appears on the Damen doorstep, claiming to have no money and nowhere else to go. The experienced Joe Grey smells a rat, and will work his paws off to prove it. Scratching out clues, he and his P.I. posse follow a trail that lead to a scam involving a group of shady real estate agents. When a realtor goes missing, Joe suspects the mysteries are connected. And just when the Damen household is filled to capacity, another stray arrives with answers and the possibility of true love for the adventurous tortoiseshell Kit.

    A delightful narrator and a good story
    Would you listen to Cat Telling Tales again? Why?
    I have already listened to this audio book twice! Why? It is a fun read and a delight for any Joe Grey fan. I am baffled why there are note more of this popular series on audiobook they would be my go to choice for a light, cat loving read.
    Who was your favorite character and why?
    The listener becomes absorbed in the lives and events of the cat characters who are all portrayed with affection and wit. The sub-story about Pan and Misto will move any cat lover and have them cheering at the end. A favourite? It would be mean to pick one out - the humans and Molena Point are a delight and the cats make me laugh and sometimes hold my breath!
    What does Susan Boyce bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?
    It is, sometimes, simply nice to be read to, and by a voice of Susan Boyce's quality with its gentle characterisation and relaxed manner.
    Any additional comments?
    PLEASE commission Susan Boyce to read the whole series - there is a huge gap in the Joe Grey lover's library that Auduble needs to fill!
    Narrator, not so good
    The narration is choppy making a difficult listen. However the story is quirky and fun and would have been rated much higher with a better narrator. It's good to see that future books have another narrator. Thanks
    One of the best Cat Mysteries Ever
    Would you listen to Cat Telling Tales again? Why?
    I will listen to this again for sure. I love the series and Susan Boyce did a fantastic job bringing the characters to life.
    Who was your favorite character and why?
    I especially like Kit as she has a special wonder about the world around her. All the cats are wonderful characters with individual personalities.
    What about Susan Boyce???s performance did you like?
    She captures the personalities of the cats and the people so that it all becomes very believable. The focus is on the mystery, not on the fact that the cats are talking to each other and to their human friends.
    Any additional comments?
    I have read and love all the Shirley Rousseau Murphy Joe Grey books. I was disappointed with the narrator of the two previous audiobooks and only tried this one because the sample sounded so much better. (The other narrator was just not right for these books, in my opinion). I hope that they continue making these audio versions and that Ms.

    Publisher's Summary:
    Listeners across the country have fallen in love with Laurence Shames rollicking national best-sellers set in South Florida. Energetic, forceful and unpredictable as a hurricane, Sunburn is filled with off-beat characters, top-notch suspense, and colorful dialogue. When aging Mafia godfather Vincente Delgatto flies to Key West to get a little sun, he decides to write his memoirs. When word of the book hits the street, everyone is in danger, even the octogenarian former enforcer Bert the Shirt and his cranky chihuahua.
    Members Reviews:
    Still waiting for a laugh
    Would you try another book from Laurence Shames and/or Richard Ferrone?
    No, don't think so. This was just not what I was led to believe it would be.
    What was most disappointing about Laurence Shamess story?
    It is no where close to Hiassen or Dorsey's humor, or characters. The story just rambled, hard to tell who was who. Best part of whole book was when the dog pooped.
    Would you be willing to try another one of Richard Ferrones performances?
    Hard to say, for free, maybe.....he just did not give the characters real voices.
    If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Sunburn?
    The whole book? While the storyline is a good one, the writing just did not follow through.
    Any additional comments?
    I have very rarely given a truly bad review. So I hate to write this one. However, I must say this book was nothing close to a Hiaasen or even Dorsey. I found literally nothing humorous in the book at all. The characters all ran together, nothing stood out at all. The narrator either couldn't or choose not to use different voices for each one, so you could not tell who was who.
    Do I think I would listen to another Shame's book? I really don't know. This storyline could have, should have been funny. Really. But after this listen, I think I will shy away from another one by this author.
    Thoroughly enjoyable
    Delightful characters that make me think of Elmore Leonard, Tim Dorsey and Carl Hiaasen. Warm and witty definitely describe the tone of Shames writing.
    Excellent narration
    Warm, wise, witty: Shames's glorious world.
    Laurence Shames and Richard Ferrone are once again a wonderful team. Key West is again the setting. The story centers on Vincente Delgado, the aging capo di tutti capi, and his family. His bastard son Joey Goldman, his full-blood son Gino Delgado, his retired consigliere Bert the Shirt, and more: This world is created and sustained throughout a sustained comic but serious tale of aging, family ties, romance, danger and surprise. Shames is one of the funniest authors in my experience, and one of the few who can create a full-length novel which is a perfect mix of suspense, humor, love for his characters and with no phony deus ex machina artifices. The FBI is involved, but only in a peripheral way. The godfather decides to write a book in his waning years, and he recruits a Key West newspaperman, Artie Magnus, to ghost-write. Gino brings a bimbo, Debbie, down to the keys with him, and everything Gino touches turns to dreck. Everyone gets involved in the dangerous cleanup. The wisdom of the Godfather and of Bert the Shirt are touching and painful: two Sicilian guys who had no real choice but to follow in the path of their fathers and grandfathers. Richard Ferrone once again is spectacular. All of his voicings are consistent with who we think these people might be.

    Publisher's Summary:
    Popular crime novelist Laurence Shames consistently draws favorable comparisons to Elmore Leonard and Carl Hiaasen. In his Key West tales, Shames paints vivid, hilarious portraits of the sun-splashed paradise he calls home. The retired Pete Amsterdam isnt really a private investigator. But he has a license, a gun, and a listing in the phone bookall so he can write-off his wine cellar as an office. While soaking in his hot tub and rethinking his earlier tennis match, the inevitable blonde in distress comes calling, and Pete is reluctantly pulled into his first case. Feeling trapped by the conventions of detective stories, Pete stumbles his way through the Key West crime scene, hardly realizing the danger hes in. The Naked Detective is vintage Shamesfull of the biting wit, absurd scenarios, and quirky characters that recall his earlier works, such as Scavenger Reef and Mangrove Squeeze. Ron McLartys narration captures the off-beat, colorful island and its inhabitants and brings them fully to life.
    Members Reviews:
    Unusual for Shames: kinda boring.
    This is Shames's last book in the Key West series, and he shoulda quit while he was ahead. The protagonist, Pete Amsterdam, is a reluctant detective, a reluctant lover, and generally a reluctant human being. He plays tennis with the most obnoxious character Shames has ever created. There are a couple of deaths, of course, but the solving of these crimes is slow and lugubrious. Shames just seems to have run out of steam. There is absolutely no humor or wit in the entire book. Shames's fans will be sorely disappointed, as his prior ability to create truly funny people and amusing situations has vanished. In its place is a vacuum, not to be too harsh about it. Certainly there is some good writing. The love affair between Pete and Maggie is tender and halting. Way too halting. There is a truly unbelievable so-called nymphomaniac. There is highly improbable digging in the ground, which Shames has described many times as hard coral, which fills up with liquid whenever you dig in it. There is a nifty funeral in which the dead man is hauled up about five stories into a family crypt, because you really can't bury a dead body in solid coral. Still, we are used to so much more from this writer. Don't go for it.
    Started out very good.
    Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
    I thought it might be funny the way it started out but it turned out to be tedious and predictable.
    What could Laurence Shames have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
    Wouldn't dream of telling a successful author what I think, He doesn't need me and doesn't care.
    Which scene was your favorite?
    The beginning
    Do you think The Naked Detective needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
    Just don't care, I'm not buying it.

    Publisher's Summary:
    While on a field trip through the woods on the outskirts of Behren, a young girl stumbles upon a decomposing body wrapped in a carpet and lying in a ditch. The body has no hands, feet, or head, but this was not the work of wild animals. A brutal killer is on the loose - but who is the victim?
    From the hospital bed where he is recovering from surgery, Chief Inspector Van Veeteren begins to piece together the fragmentary clues that involve a nun who hides a secret, a crippled woman, the murders of two other women, and a former track star who served two sentences for murder and has been missing since the date of his return to society.
    No one is who they appear to be, and a sleepy village finds itself reopening cases long considered closed. With the assistance of his colleagues, Van Veeteren faces the prospect of taking the law into his own hands in the face of a flawed system of justice.
    Critic Reviews:
    The sardonic Van Veeteren is an entertaining lead character, and this book should lead many to seek out earlier entries in the series. (Publishers Weekly)

    An ex-con is brutally murdered with an ax in Kaalbringen. Then the body of a wealthy real-estate mogul is found, also the victim of a violent attack. There appears to be a serial killer on the loose, and Chief Inspector Van Veeteren is called in to help the local police. As details surrounding the grisly murders are collected, Van Veeteren finds little to go on. But then there's another murder, and shortly thereafter one of Van Veeteren's colleagues, a promising female detective, goes missing - perhaps because the criminal knows she has come too close to the truth.
    Critic Reviews:
    "International bestseller Nesser makes his U.S. debut with this classy and rewarding whodunit, which won the Swedish Crime Writers' Academy Prize for Best Novel in 1994.... Thompson's smooth translation makes this worthy mystery readily accessible to American readers." (Publishers Weekly)
    "No reader of hard-boiled crime fiction should miss the Scandinavians, and Nesser immediately vaults to near-Mankell status. Let's hope Borkmann's Point, which won the Swedish Crime Writers' Best Novel Award for 1994, is only the first of a steady stream of Nesser imports." (Booklist)

    The narrating could be better
    Any additional comments?
    The narrator makes the love scenes seem comical. I read the first part of the book and it did not seem ridiculous yet when Justine Eyre reads it, I laughed. I like her reading the rest of the book but the love scenesnot so much.
    Terrible Narrator
    I am abandoning this half way through - I just can't get past the narrator. She sounds like an elderly lady and this book calls for a younger sounding voice. The story sounds like it could be good but I can't concentrate on it because of the narration.
    Pretty Good Book
    This was an interesting book. I loved the action and the plot. The mystery was in depth and full of twists and turns. I didnt see the end coming, and I was a little surprised by who the killer was. I had my eye on two different people for the fear induced murders, but I was wrong. I was intrigued and full of anxiety for the people involved. I kept thinking, no, not this person, or the person, and was really glad to have a good ending even though some of it was a little messed up at the end. I was like really, this happened, and then I was relieved when it all turned out well.
    The only complaint I truly have about this book is all the sexual action. I dont usually have trouble with sensuality and sex in novels, but it seemed like this book and the others after it was full of sex. Its kind of hard to accept a sexual relationship between people who dont really know each other. I think the problem was the fact that there was no build up, no real tension, no relationship building until after the characters had engaged in the act. Not to mention, I like to get to know characters well before all the intimacy starts. It makes me understand the interplay and the interest that is there. It also makes me understand why a couple begin to care for each other and share an act that I often associate with caring if not love. Maybe Im a little naïve and old fashion, but I think thats the way it should be even in books :).
    The reader was good.

    Last King of Texas
    Gotta admit didn't see that ending coming! Always enjoy Tres Navarre. Good storyline, well written, well performed, & great story conclusion.
    Not the Riordan I love
    I am an adult, but I love Riordan's youth novels. This is too heavy, but I would not slam it except for the language. I get very tired of hearing the same word over and over.and over.
    HOW CAN ANYONE ENJOY THIS BOOK??
    What disappointed you about The Last King of Texas?
    THE BOOK WENT ON AND ON AND NOTHING WAS HAPPENING. THINGS WERE NOT EXPLAINED PROPERLY. EX: A PHONE CALL THAT CAME IN IN THE BEGINNING OF THE BOOK AND THEY ANSWERED IT LIKE THEY WERE A LOOKING FOR CREDIT INFORMATION. THEY WERE INVESTIGATING A CRIME.
    What do you think your next listen will be?
    THE FACE OF FEAR BY DEAN KOONTZ. READ IT YEARS AGO WHEN I WAS ABLE TO READ BOOKS. I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO THE AUDIO VERSION. I WILL LOVE IT I AM SURE.
    Would you be willing to try another one of Tom Stechschultes performances?
    I DIDN'T LIKE HIS PREFORMANCE BUT THE FACT I DISLIKED THE BOOK SO MUCH PLAYS A BIG PART IN MY NOT LIKING THE READER.
    What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
    BOREDOM AND IMPATIENCE WITH THE BOOK. I READ A FEW HOURS AND BOTH ME AND MY SIG. OTHER DID NOT LIKE THE BOOK AT ALL.

    Publisher's Summary:
    New York Times best-selling author Lisa Lutz conspires with - or should we say against? - coauthor David Hayward to write an original and hilarious tag-team crime novel.
    Meet Paul and Lacey Hansen: orphaned, pot-growing twentysomething siblings eking out a living in rural Northern California. When a headless corpse appears on their property, they can't exactly dial 911, so they move the body and wait for the police to find it. Instead, the corpse reappears, a few days riper... and an amateur sleuth is born. Make that two.
    When collaborators Lutz and Hayward (former romantic partners) start to disagree about how the story should unfold, the body count rises, victims and suspects alike develop surprising characteristics (meet Brandy Chester, the stripper with the Mensa IQ), and sibling rivalry reaches homicidal intensity. Think Adaptation crossed with Weeds. Will the authors solve the mystery without killing each other first?
    Members Reviews:
    Laugh Out Loud Funny
    I must repectfully disagree with the other reviewers. I found the concept and story outstanding! The back and forth between the two authors was fresh and funny. Their reactions to each others chapters were some of the funniest things in the book. The concept of two authors taking turns writing chapters is awesome. I love the way the story changes depending on which one wrote the chapter. I looked like an idiot while grocery shopping because I was laughing so hard! The narration was perfect. If you only like traditional mysteries then skip this, If you want something new new and different try it. I hope this is only the beginning!!
    The Bickersons write a murder mystery
    Leaving in the unvarnished authors' notes to each other is certainly original, but I'm not sure that in the end it was such a good idea. It doesn't show either one in the best light, and perhaps is proof that reconnecting with exes is a bad idea. The story itself ended up being passable, despite the fact that you get to see Lutz and Hayward wrestling over everything throughout. But the Spellmans series is better.
    Good story Great listen
    Would you consider the audio edition of Heads You Lose to be better than the print version?
    Yes
    Would you be willing to try another book from Lisa Lutz and David Hayward ? Why or why not?
    Yes the interplay between the authors suggests there's a whole lot of story left to tell
    What does Abby Craden bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?
    The inflections used make it obvious that the bickering back and forth is good natured
    Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
    Laughed out loud while walking down the street. Got some weird looks too.
    Any additional comments?
    The story itself isn't anything spectacular but the comments and reactions that the authors have to what the other one is doing are priceless. Lisa is especially brutal. :)
    Too much sniping
    The "mystery" part of this book ranges from the absurd to the merely predictable, but what's truly annoying is the sarcastic and mean-spirited tussling between the two authors. I'm not sure why this book saw the light of day, and I trust Lisa and Dave are now done with each other. I know I'm glad to be done with them.
    Nothing Funny About This Story
    While the story was okay, I got very tired of hearing the bickering between the authors via their notes to each other.
