Historia
Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Entertaining in every way.

Remarkable writing and equally remarkable narration. Heavy science, but essential to the credibility of the story. Thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience.

Historia
It’s a beautiful day in Newport, Rhode Island, when Phoebe Stone arrives at the grand Cornwall Inn wearing a green dress and gold heels, not a bag in sight, alone. She's immediately mistaken by everyone in the lobby for one of the wedding people, but she’s actually the only guest at the Cornwall who isn’t here for the big event. Phoebe is here because she’s dreamed of coming for years—she hoped to shuck oysters and take sunset sails with her husband, only now she’s here without him, at rock bottom, and determined to have one last decadent splurge on herself.

Historia
A breakneck race against time…and an implacable enemy. An anonymous young woman murdered in a run-down hotel, all identifying characteristics dissolved by acid. A father publicly beheaded in the blistering heat of a Saudi Arabian public square. A notorious Syrian biotech expert found eyeless in a Damascus junkyard. Smoldering human remains on a remote mountainside in Afghanistan. A flawless plot to commit an appalling crime against humanity. One path links them all, and only one man can make the journey. Pilgrim.

Totally entertaining
Revisado: 03-17-24
My wife reads, and I ‘listen’. After she read this book for the second time, she strongly suggested that I get it on Audible. Then she listened to much of it again on our speaker! I much appreciate her insistence.
Just outstanding - both the story and the writing. And the narrator. Great characters, twisting plot, and totally entertaining throughout. Can’t imagine a disappointment for the listener.

Put me in the “loved it” column.
Revisado: 05-01-23
I found the story to be realistic re many of life’s experiences. It was very entertaining and welcomed by me since I have recently been listening to murder mysteries. The narration was superb with so many accent changes. I loved the ending. It brought together in a very fine way.

Historia
Division Street is full of secrets. An impulsive lie begets a secret—one which will forever haunt the Wilf family. And the Shenkmans, who move into the neighborhood many years later, bring secrets of their own.. Spanning fifty kaleidoscopic years, on a street—and in a galaxy—where stars collapse and stories collide, these two families become bound in ways they never could have imagined. Urgent and compassionate, Signal Fires is a magical story for our times, a literary tour de force by a masterful storyteller at the height of her powers.

This book is extraordinarily lovely. The words are almost poetic and the narration very well done. It brought tears to my eyes from the beauty and I feel it would be helpful to anyone who has ever lost a loved one. Highly recommended!

Historia
Photographer Isla Wilson is thrilled she's landed her dream job, but the clients who hired her are getting stranger by the day. It sounded so perfect—a month's assignment at the lush Scottish Highlands property of architect Alban McGregor, and his wife, Jessica. But in the woods, there's a playhouse with a chilling history. Two years ago, the McGregors' daughter Elodie was abducted and then died in that playhouse. The townspeople insist her abductor had to be a stranger in their town. Alban refuses to knock the playhouse down, even keeping a picture of it on his wall.

Excellent mystery, story and narration. There were so many twists and turns. I loved all of the Scottish accents. The narration enhanced the book tremendously for me. Well done!

Historia
Evan Smoak lives by his own code. Once he was known as Orphan X. Trained as an off-the-books government assassin and spoken about only in whispers, Evan Smoak was one of the most talented - and most feared - men in the Program. But he broke free and reinvented himself as The Nowhere Man, a figure shrouded in mystery, known for helping the truly desperate. If anyone is truly desperate, it’s Max Merriweather.

This was our first experience listening to an Orphan X book and we found it very interesting and enjoyable. The narration was excellent as well. Thank you to the author and the narrator for providing entertainment during a long car trip. Highly recommended!

Unforgettable
Revisado: 03-05-21
This book leaves a mark. It is elegant and well-written. It makes you hurt in ways you should hurt. It helps you learn what you should learn. Thank you, John Hart, for all of your books — most especially for The Unwilling. It will be in my head and in my heart for a long, long time. Five stars for the narration as well.

Historia
In the wake of a shocking tragedy, Natalie Harper inherits her mother’s charming but financially strapped bookshop in San Francisco. She also becomes caretaker for her ailing grandfather Andrew, her only living relative - not counting her scoundrel father. But the gruff, deeply kind Andrew has begun displaying signs of decline. Natalie thinks it’s best to move him to an assisted living facility to ensure the care he needs. To pay for it, she plans to close the bookstore and sell the derelict but valuable building on historic Perdita Street, which is in need of constant fixing.

During this time of social isolation due to Covid, I have listened to many books. This ranks in my top two, the other being The Henna Artist. The story is complex, going deep within the origins of a San Francisco bookshop, the family that owned it and the building it housed. Highly recommended.

Disappointing
Revisado: 06-18-20
I was looking forward to listening to this mystery which had been a People Magazine recommendation, but came away disappointed. Liberal use of the f-word is not something I either respect or enjoy. It does nothing to enhance the narrative, in my opinion. In fact, quite the opposite. The story was interesting in some ways, but the author did not leave one with an understanding of Amanda’s issues regarding her father. In the future, I will be cautious of anything on People’s “Must Reads” list and any further work by this author.
