Change is coming to Sweden’s far north: its untapped natural resources are sparking a gold rush with the criminal underworld leading the charge. But it’s not the prospect of riches that brings Lisbeth Salander to the small town of Gasskas. She has been named guardian to her niece Svala, whose mother has disappeared. Two things soon become clear: Svala is a remarkably gifted teenager—and she’s being watched.

could have been better
Revisado: 09-05-23
I have been a big fan of the Lizbeth Salendar books and have enjoyed listening to them repeatedly. Like other readers I was disappointed. The story development was disjointed and hard to follow. The characters were not fully developed or as vivid as in the Stieg Larson books. The flashbacks also were confusing. Would be willing to give this writer another try. I think I will listen to it again. It might come together a bit more.

When a rifle range accident leaves Dean Howell disfigured and in a vegetative state, his wife Sarah finds her dreary life in Pine Cone, Alabama made even worse. After long and tedious days on the assembly line, she returns home to care for her corpse-like husband while enduring her loathsome and hateful mother-in-law, Jo. Jo blames the entire town for her son's mishap, and when she gives a strange piece of jewelry to the man she believes most responsible, a series of gruesome deaths is set in motion.

Back when Harry Bosch was just a rookie homicide detective, he had an inspiring mentor who taught him to take the work personally and light the fire of relentlessness for every case. Now that mentor, John Jack Thompson, is dead, but after his funeral his widow hands Bosch a murder book that Thompson took with him when he left the LAPD 20 years before - the unsolved killing of a troubled young man in an alley used for drug deals.

Best Bosch yet!
Revisado: 10-27-19
I've read or listened to nearly all of the Harry Bosch books and I feel this is one if not the best in the series. Multiple plots, twists and turns, developing characters and, unfortunately aging characters. The only little item I could have wished for was to have more Mickey Halloren, love that guy.

Glen Runciter runs a lucrative business - deploying his teams of anti-psychics to corporate clients who want privacy and security from psychic spies. But when he and his top team are ambushed by a rival, he is gravely injured and placed in "half-life," a dreamlike state of suspended animation. Soon, though, the surviving members of the team begin experiencing some strange phenomena, such as Runciter's face appearing on coins and the world seeming to move backward in time.

struggled to get through. disconcerting and surreal. the end was hopeful and prophetic. still contemplating the full meaning. had similar reaction to, "Stranger in a Strange Land" , by Heinlein.

Tried hard to understand the plot. Read other reviews saying how good it was. For me it was a wasre of time and a credit.

Lame
Revisado: 12-17-17
I had trouble right from the start with this book. I hoped that if I listened to it long enough that it would peak my interest, but it was just lame. No pace to the book. Lousy sex scenes that just didn't fit in. Couldn't even get half way through the book. Don't waste your time.

Going against the conventional wisdom reinforced by the medical establishment and Big Pharma that more screening is the best preventative medicine, Dr. Gilbert Welch builds a compelling counterargument that what we need are fewer, not more, diagnoses. Documenting the excesses of American medical practice that labels far too many of us as sick, Welch examines the social, ethical, and economic ramifications of a health-care system that unnecessarily diagnoses and treats patients.

A must read for patients and physicians alike
Revisado: 10-29-17
As a physician I am faced with the dilema and consequences of overdiagnosis everyday. There is a huge monetary, emotional and physical harm associated with overdiagnosis. While there is the presumed benefit to early detection is it worth the risk? The authors do a wonderful job in discussing the statistics involed in overdiagnosis in a way almost anyone can understand. They also add case studies which add a personal touch of how overdianosis affects us all.

She's old-money Miami. He's barefoot Coconut Grove. The only thing they had in common was the law, until they faced each other in the steamiest murder trial of the century, a case that would make sparks fly, headlines scream, and opposites attract. Surrounded by crooks, con men, and a cast of colorful characters, Steve Solomon and Vickie Lord must solve the crime before they end up in ruin, in jail, or, worse, in bed.

The Best Audible Book to Date
Revisado: 04-19-06
I've been listening to Audible Books for just over a year. This book was a real delight. From the start it engaged the listener into the basis of the book, the relationship between Soloman and Lord. The bantering back and forth was very reminiscent of William Powell and Myrna Loy in the, "Thin Man" movie series. There were several very nice subplots woven in which gave a nice flavor and depth to the listen. I recommend this listen very highly. I only wish they had more audible works by this author.
