This is a wonderful series and I Highly Recommend it to anyone who enjoys this genre. I will strongly suggest starting with Book One simply because each book picks up where the previous leaves off. I think Carrie Ryan has done an excellent job completing the series. The transition from Rachel Caine to Ms. Ryan was seamless, in my opinion.
Finally, Emily Sutton Smith is one of my favorite female narrators, her performance is as always outstanding.
Thank You for taking a moment to read my review.

I really like this series by James Comey. It follows the protagonist, Nora Carleton, a federal prosecutor in NYC. In this book she’s going up against a home grown terrorist. A man with an internet show who talks about people (politicians, ex-employees…) he believes are hurting the country. Regardless of whether they are or not, in his opinion or the organization he does the bidding for, he encourages his listeners to take action. What makes the case so difficult is that he doesn’t come out and say the person needs to be killed. Instead he tells his audience in various ways that could be taken as an opinion or a directive.

The publisher’s summary is pretty comprehensive and I don’t want to give too much away. This book can stand alone from the other two however I would suggest listening to the series in order for more background all of which is very interesting and entertaining.

I think Cassandra Campbell is one of the TOP women narrators. She does an absolutely Fantastic job with this and every book she narrates. For me it’s a toss up between her and Angela Dawe.

This book has my VERY HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION!!

This is another EXCELLENT book by BJ Bourg! After listening to the About the Author page following the epilogue it’s the first time I realized that this author is actually pulling these stories from his own experiences. His 30 years in law enforcement is very impressive and I will never listen to his books the same!!

This book pulls you in during the first few minutes when two out of three members of a family are massacred. The following chapters introduce a woman calling the police station to inquire about the long forgotten case of her missing daughter. She hasn’t been seen in 20 years.
A recovered weapon in the police evidence room then brings you to a WWII weapon that had been stolen and used to commit suicide. Strangely enough this also occurred 20 years ago. The pawn shop it had been stolen from was never notified the valuable weapon had ever been recovered.
These three stories seem so different and you’re lead to believe that two of them are secondary to the main plot. Little bits at a time weave these together for what I can only describe as a tour de force when all the pieces fall into place.

Patrick Nolan does an outstanding job narrating.

How absolutely wonderfully sickeningly warped the antagonists in this book are. Without going into too much detail the protagonist in this book is Jack Widow. I always hate making the comparison because Widow is his own character and a force to be reckoned with but he is similar to Jack Reacher. The reason I bring up the similarities is because the plot in this book is reminiscent to the plot in the book MAKE ME, book 20 in the Reacher series. Don’t get me wrong there are vast differences but enough that it reminded me of that book.

When Widow arrives in the town of Iron Crossings he’s only there to look into rumor he’d heard. It’s about a man who used to jump trains who disappeared in this town. Widow didn’t expect to find anything out but finds a woman whose husband disappeared the same time as the train stowaway.
At the same time as this is going on you’re given a glimpse into what a corrupt family has its hands into. It’s rather ghoulish and not recommended for the faint of heart. For the rest may I suggest that you buckle up for one heck of a ride.

Alan Philip Ormond does a phenomenal job narrating. He is unquestionably one of the best narrators in the industry today (in my opinion).

This book has my VERY HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION!!

I’ve enjoyed every one of the BJ Bourg novels, both the Clint Wolfe and London Carter series. If you haven’t tried them I recommend both. His series are both very good procedurals as well as being believable.

In this book a honeymooning husband is murdered followed by a teenage girl. But there’s more to come. While looking for who or what is responsible multiple red herrings emerge. But the true culprit behind a string of attacks is completely unexpected.

Nick Sullivan is a master in his field! His narration of this (and every book he narrates) is superb. His accents are spot on!!

This book has my HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION!!

…that would be Angela Dawe. If you haven’t listened to her before you’re sorely missing out on one of the BEST female voices in this industry. There are just a handful of top female narrators and this one fits that category.

I also HIGHLY RECOMMEND this book, author and series. If you would like to know more I would strongly suggest reading Empress Karen’s review. It’s pretty comprehensive and both her’s and my views. So Thank You, I appreciate you for the reviews you continue to write!
This book has my HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION.
Thank You for reading this a please let Empress Karen know that her reviews are appreciated so she will continue to write them. I do not know her nor did she ask me to say this. I just know how frustrating it is to continuously write reviews and not know if I’m wasting my time.
Have a great day!!

As a long time fan of Scott Bell I was very happy to see a new release from him. My only disappointment was that J Scott Bennett wasn’t the narrator. After listening I decided that Joel Richards was probably a better choice for this book and Mr. Bell knew better than I! The tone of this story is very grave and Mr. Bennett’s narrative probably would not have suited this book as well as Mr. Richards’s.

The plot of the novel is well laid out in the publisher’s summary. The protagonist (Killabrew) is on a mission to find out who murdered his much younger sister. She had been working as a prostitute for a charlatan in a minister’s clothing. What he didn’t realize was the scope of his operation.

Once breaking into the man’s operation he finds multiple underage girls being forced into prostitution. He also finds many upstanding powerful men who come to use and abuse them and sometimes the girls don’t make it out alive.

Killabrew declares war. He calls in a few close friends and of course things don’t always go as planned. There are casualties that fuel his fire. And with a fantastic ending Killabrew … Never mind, if you want to know the answer you’ll have to get it and listen to it yourself!!

Since I’m already a fan of John McMahon’s P.T. Marsh mystery/procedural novels I already had a feeling that I was going to enjoy this book. Add to that Will Damron’s narration and you have a sure winner! I’m a huge fan of Will Damron and wish he would do more in the mystery/thriller genre.

This book is a great cat and mouse procedural. The hero (Gardner Camden) is in an FBI unit made up of agents who have all made some kind of major f**k up in their careers but are otherwise exceptional at their job. His nemesis is playing games with him and feeding him puzzles only he can figure out. Being an expert at puzzles Camden feels it’s his responsibility and his sword to bear for every death. Even though the serial killer he’s hunting is killing other killers. And with each kill he leaves a new clue somewhere on or in the body. Some only centimeters, so nothing is obvious. The climax is just as good as the rest of the story and the ending is open for future books if this is to turn into a series. One can only hope!

This book has my VERY HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION!!

I didn’t realize how much I missed Jack Swyteck until this book came out! As soon as I saw it yesterday on the new release list I bought it immediately and ended up staying up half the night listening to it. Needless to say I was slightly shot today but had to finish. I even listened on the default speed because I wanted it to last. I almost never listen in slo-mo but certain narrators are worth it and Jonathan Davis is one of them. I wish he would do more in the mystery/thriller genre and I really wish Grippando would be just a little more prolific. What’s that saying? If I could get a dollar for every wish I’d never have to work for a living? Sadly I do 😢 but I can still dream!!

This book is a superb legal thriller/court room drama. The premise of this story is that an Iranian woman marries her Iranian
brother-in-law after her sister is murdered by the morality police. She legally adopts her sister’s daughter and then kidnaps her and runs to Miami with the child. She claims it wasn’t the police but the husband who abused both her sister and child that murdered.her sister. There are multiple dramas happening in the background and Swyteck is of course a star lawyer with his wife Andi both fighting and pulling for him the entire time.
But as with ALL Swyteck books, nothing is as it seems. I’m sorry but if you want to find out how this funhouse will turn out you will have to get the book.
In my humble opinion it is worth every penny and then some!

This book has my VERY HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION!!
