Mac's sister Carolyn is now 26, a law school graduate, and has just been hired as an assistant district attorney in Manhattan. She has endured two family tragedies -- her brother's inexplicable disappearance, and the loss of her father. Realizing that neither she nor her mother will ever be able to have closure and get on with their lives until they find her brother, she sets out to discover what happened to Mac, and why he has found it necessary to hide from them.

Her journey into the world of people who willingly disappear from their own lives leads her to learn about others who may or may not still be alive, and ultimately to a deadly confrontation with someone close to her who suddenly becomes an enemy -- and cannot allow her to disclose his secret...

Reader dragged it down ...

What didnt you like about Jan Maxwells performance?

Not much expression. Sounded a little like a high school play.

Do you think Where Are You Now? needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

Not really. The main character could be turned in to a P.I. maybe, but I don't know where you would pick it up from this one.

Publisher's Summary:

Jean Sheridan, a college dean and prominent historian, sets out to her hometown to attend the 20-year reunion of Stonecroft Academy alumni, where she is to be honored along with six other members of her class. There is something uneasy in the air: one woman in the group about to be feted, Alison Kendall, a beautiful, high-powered Hollywood agent, drowned in her pool during an early-morning swim. Alison is the fifth woman in the class whose life has come to a sudden, mysterious end. Adding to Jean's sense of unease is a taunting, anonymous fax she received, referring to her daughter -- a child she had given up for adoption twenty years ago. At the award dinner, Jean is introduced to Sam Deegan, a detective obsessed by the unsolved murder of a young woman who may hold the key to the identity of the Stonecroft killer. Jean does not suspect that among the distinguished people she is greeting is The Owl, a murderer nearing the countdown on his mission of vengeance against the Stonecroft women who had mocked and humiliated him, with Jean as his final victim.

Publisher's Summary:

Come into my parlor...

For Kimberly Quincy, FBI Special Agent, it all starts with a pregnant hooker. The story Delilah Rose tells Kimberly about her johns is too horrifying to be true; but prostitutes are disappearing, one by one, with no explanation, and no one but Kimberly seems to care.

Said the spider to the fly...

As a member of the Evidence Response Team, dead hookers aren't exactly Kimberly's specialty. The young agent is five months pregnant - she has other things to worry about than an alleged lunatic who uses spiders to do his dirty work. But Kimberly's own mother and sister were victims of a serial killer. And now, without any bodies and with precious few clues, it's all too clear that a serial killer has found the key to the perfect murder...or Kimberly is chasing a crime that never happened.

Kimberly's caught in a web more lethal than any spider's, and the more she fights for answers, the more tightly she's trapped. What she doesn't know is that she's close - too close - to a psychopath who makes women's nightmares come alive, and if he has his twisted way, it won't be long before it's time for Kimberly, too...

Say Goodbye

If you love mysteries with lots of twists and turns this book is for you.

Especially enjoy her D.D. Warren book series.

Unnecessarily Perverted

If you love graphic stories of sexual and physical violence committed against children, then Say Goodbye is for you.

After 1 hours, I turned the story off and deleted it from my device. And yes I understand that it is a work of fiction, but as a father of three boys, I found it to disgusting and disturbed to continue. While I enjoy mysteries and thrillers, this one seem unnecessarily twisted and depraved. Fortunately, I had a bit of comedy on my phone that helped to lift me from the horrible emotions and sensations engendered by the story.

Listen with caution.

Spider

Wow my favorite by far. The descriptions of Dougy and his unusual activities was well written!

A Home Run

Unlike the Chicago Cubs, Sakey hits another home run with his third book. Listening to this book is like taking a ride on the famous "L". The train like the book takes you through different neighborhoods, some seamy, some upscale, some working class. You look into the windows and see the people living there. Sakey has a real gift for bringing his characters to life, and tying them into the plot.

This is a totally engaging read. You know right away that things are going to go wrong, but Sakey really churns it up into a mess that makes mighty fine reading.

It's one part, so he really moves it along quickly. You want to keep listening to see what's going to happen next.

I also liked the use of two readers, a male and a female. Added a lot to the listening experience.

Highly recommend this for a good listen.

What were the producers thinking?

I listen to audiobooks all the time. Perhaps I have been lucky, because I had never encountered this: a man reads the male parts of the story and a woman reads the female parts even within the same paragraph!!!! (I have seen other books where a male will read one chapter and a female another, like in Gone Girl. This is different -- the woman would read her one line of dialogue, for example, in the middle of a description read by the male reader). Incredibly distracting. Plus, their voices -- while both OK by themselves -- did not match each other.

I wonder if they recorded the entire book with the male reader and then found that his rendition of the female lines was not good? Whatever the reason, THIS was a mistake.

The story itself is only OK. This is perhaps my third or fourth Sakey book in a row (started with Brilliance and really enjoyed it). It was the weakest. As the publisher's blurb explains, this is the story about a run-of-the-mill couple who find $400,000 and decide to keep it -- with disastrous consequences. The theme (average people facing temptations they should have walked away from) is a common Sakey theme. In this novel, the conversations about "Woe is us, why did we do this when we had everything we wanted to already?" get repetitious. The twists and turns, as always, are ingenious (and surprising)...but the conversations get in the way.

I will read other Sakey's, for sure.

Publisher's Summary:

Meanwhile, at an Alabama army depot, a military train carrying a deadly cargo begins its journey west. This train must cross the Mississippi before its cargo becomes unstable - and then another bridge goes down.

As more bridges go down and the plight of the doomsday train intensifies, it becomes ever more obvious that Hanson is being set up to take a fall as part of some bureaucratic political intrigue within the FBI.

Critic Reviews:

"Intelligent, expertly detailed, and highly suspenseful,

Train Man is a speeding entertainment locomotive." (

Publishers Weekly)

Members Reviews:

First book of Deutermann that bored me to death

What did you like best about Train Man? What did you like least?

The story line was OK but the details went on and on and on. Lost interest.

Would you listen to another book narrated by Bruce Reizen?

No

Was Train Man worth the listening time?

No

Not like the others

Tedious storytelling, predictable plot, terrible narration and well, just not up to the standard of the other Deutermann books.

Who knew train bridges were so important?

I'm a massive PT Deutermann fan, and thus, I really enjoyed this book.

There isn't a lot to say about this book; it's not exactly a departure from the regular formula of a thriller novel, but I enjoy Deutermann's turn of phrase, and the level of character development; he shares the important points, but doesn't go into excessive detail.

Yay for trains!

Boring!!

The premise sounded interesting however I was bored to tears and could not finish this one!!

Don't miss this one! Another great novel.

He did it again. Keeping us in suspense. His development of characters was superb. And the narration just added more to an already great novel. His detailed description of trains just put you there.

Title: Twice Buried

Subtitle: An Undersheriff Bill Gastner Mystery, Book 3

Author: Steven F. Havill

Narrator: Rusty Nelson

Format: Unabridged

Length: 6 hrs and 53 mins

Language: English

Release date: 03-17-08

Publisher: Books in Motion

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 111 votes

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense

Publisher's Summary:

Undersheriff Bill Gastner knows that the dead bodies on Reuben Fuentes' ranch cannot point to the old man. Gastner summons former deputy Estelle Reyes for help.

Critic Reviews:

"Havill sensitively explores the area's Mexican-American culture in this increasingly estimable regional series." (Publishers Weekly)

"Unlike other fictional detectives who approach murder as a personal affront, Gastner sees himself as the victims' advocate, striving to even the scales of justice for those no longer able to do it themselves." (Booklist)

Members Reviews:

Good mystery. Well-developed characters.

I enjoyed this story which is a complicated police procedural. This was my first in this series but it was self-contained. I like the protagonist, Undersheriff Bill Gastner, and his former partner, Estelle Reyes, called back into service temporarily. Bill isn't the brightest bulb on the tree, and Estelle is often two or three steps ahead of him. Bill is however dedicated to both justice and serving his community and that is refreshing. His main failing seems to be that he eats too much, but at least he's not a drunk like so many other detectives.

Rusty Nelson did an acceptable job but reads much too slowly for my taste. As an illustration, book #18 (One Perfect Shot) is actually a prequel to the series, and there are two narrators available, both unabridged versions of this 250-page book. Rusty takes 13 hr, 39 min, while Ray Porter takes only 10 hr, 31 min, more than three hours less!! I have started listening to the version by Porter, who seems to be excellent.

I love this series

From the whodunit to the narration, this series is great! Well written, real characters and spot on narration. Start from the beginning, you'll be anxious for the next in the series!

Just Plain Fun

Nuthin' better than listening to a Havill book read by Rusty Nelson. It's like hanging out with an old friend you just adore.

Title: Blind Fall

Author: Christopher Rice

Narrator: Frederick Weller

Format: Unabridged

Length: 8 hrs and 36 mins

Language: English

Release date: 03-11-08

Publisher: Simon & Schuster Audio

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 106 votes

Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense

Publisher's Summary:

John Houck became a Marine to become a hero. But his life changed when he failed to notice an explosive device that ended up maiming the captain of his Force Recon Company, a respected Marine who nearly sacrificed himself to save John's life.

Home from Iraq, John pays a visit to his former captain, only to discover the captain has been gruesomely murdered. John pursues a strange man he sees running from the scene, but he discovers that Alex Martin is not the murderer. Alex is, in fact, the former captain's secret male lover and the killer's intended next victim.

When it becomes clear that local law enforcement has direct connections to the murder itself, John realizes that to repay his debt of honor, he must teach Alex Martin how to protect himself, even if that means teaching Alex to kill. In the process, John confronts the painful truth about the younger brother he was unable to protect and the older sister he always felt he failed.

Blind Fall is a story of honor and integrity, of turning failure into victory. It is a stunning departure for Christopher Rice: the story of two men, one a Marine, one gay, who must unite to avenge the death of the man they both loved - one as a brother-in-arms, one as a lover - and to survive.

Members Reviews:

If I were Straight...

If I were straight i wonder if I would have enjoyd this as much as I did. I do digree about the reader. I found him nicely gritty as the protagonist. An interesting investigation of gay/straight interaction.

Sub-par Rice

I've always enjoyed Christopher Rice's books, but Blind Fall falls short of his usual output. The characters were well done and the reading brought them fully to life, but the plot left a lot to be desired. In several places the believability factor was stretched WAY too thin! Blind Fall was a nice try at a departure for Rice, but ultimately disappoints.

Good Read

I would give 5 stars if the first part of the book wasn't so hard to follow (which may be due to my own shortcomings). Many twists and turns make this book a very good read.

Craftsman

A major condition of a successful suspense novel is that it is a page-turner. This book is a good example. Rice takes the reader/listener almost immediately to that disquieting place where what-happens-next is a priority. He sometimes tests our willingness to believe his story's plot but always manages to avoid crossing that line (learned from his mother?). The voice of the reader is particularly appropriate here. This is the second of his books I've heard, and now I will pursue all others.

Blind Fall

I really like the book, keeps you on your toes, but as with all of C. Rice's recorded books, I really dislike the reader - he is so dull and almost monotonal. But get past that and enjoy the book.

Michael Weston wants to know why the police were on his tail so quickly. His first task is to find the writer of his pay cheque, the second is to make sure he doesn't get caught. Because one thing's for certain: the longer he sticks around to find out, the bigger the risk of making mistakes, revealing his cover and maybe losing his life.

Critic Reviews:

"The nonstop action, copious violence and arcane details about weaponry and forensics will please thriller junkies." (Publishers Weekly)

Members Reviews:

Not Ian Rankin's Best

I didn't care for this story. It seemed fake - all the James Bond like travelling all over the place, killing people without conscience, the wild western USA, fake accents etc. No wonder Rankin used a pen name.

Cracking Ian Rankin

What more is there to say except this is not an Inspector Rebus story and Ian Rankin proves thats hes more than just Edinburgh and whiskey and DI Rebus with all his forgivable flaws.

Well worth a listen.
