What became of Mitch and Abby McDeere after they exposed the crimes of Memphis law firm Bendini, Lambert and Locke and fled the country? The answer is in The Exchange. It is now fifteen years later, and Mitch and Abby are living in Manhattan, where Mitch is a partner at the largest law firm in the world. When a mentor in Rome asks him for a favour that will take him far from home, Mitch finds himself at the centre of a sinister plot that has worldwide implications – and once again endangers his colleagues, friends and family.

Disappointed. Not the same depth or character development as his other works, the author of great books like The Guardians and Grey Mountain has delivered a relatively superficial read lacking substance.
Having read everything he publishes, this is the first time I wish I had not wasted a credit.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 478
Marie Laure lives with her father in Paris within walking distance of the Museum of Natural History where he works as the master of the locks (there are thousands of locks in the museum). When she is six, she goes blind, and her father builds her a model of their neighbourhood, every house, every manhole, so she can memorise it with her fingers and navigate the real streets with her feet and cane. When the Germans occupy Paris, father and daughter flee to Saint-Malo on the Brittany coast, where Marie-Laure's agoraphobic great uncle lives in a tall, narrow house by the sea wall.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 43
For most of the last hundred years, Biloxi was known for its beaches, resorts, and seafood industry. But it had a darker side. It was also notorious for corruption and vice, everything from gambling, prostitution, bootleg liquor, drugs...even contract killings. The vice was controlled by a small cabal of mobsters, many of them rumoured to be members of the Dixie Mafia.

Revisado: 12-05-22
Always well crafted, well researched content and well developed characters.
Even though the subject matter is not particularly of interest to me, it is worth the price to enjoy this authors work.

Why we think it’s a great listen: Seabiscuit was a runaway success, and Hillenbrand’s done it again with another true-life account about beating unbelievable odds. On a May afternoon in 1943, an Army Air Forces bomber crashed into the Pacific Ocean and disappeared, leaving only a spray of debris and a slick of oil, gasoline, and blood. Then, on the ocean surface, a face appeared....

By 1535 Thomas Cromwell, the blacksmith's son, is far from his humble origins. Chief Minister to Henry VIII, his fortunes have risen with those of Anne Boleyn, Henry’s second wife, for whose sake Henry has broken with Rome and created his own church. In Bring Up the Bodies, Hilary Mantel explores one of the most mystifying and frightening episodes in English history: the destruction of Anne Boleyn.

Thomas Cromwell serving the court of Henry VIII
Revisado: 03-18-13
Very well written, great story. The characters are well developed and believable.
The story picks up from where wolf hall ends, so it is worth reading both in sequence to enjoy the context.
However, by the end of the book I was ready for something lighter.
I would have liked the book to end with a final note on how life ended for Thomas Cromwell and his family but I guess that will likely be the next book.
Rich in detail and imagery, a good historical hit.
Enjoy!

The venerable bank of Tubal & Co is in trouble. It’s not the first time in its 300-year history, but this time will be the last. A sale is under way, and a number of rather important facts need to be kept hidden, especially from any potential buyer. Hundreds of millions of pounds are being diverted - temporarily - to shore it up, masterminded by the bank’s chairman, Julian Trevelyan-Tubal. His aging father Sir Henry would be horrified, but fortunately he is in the early stages of dementia.

Where does Other People's Money rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
in the top ten
If you could rename Other People's Money, what would you call it?
the title is very fitting for this book and for the times.
Any additional comments?
A solid book, nicely developed. Kept me interested.

Disappointed
Revisado: 08-25-12
This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
People who like more detailed explanations to their storyand prefer slower paced books than the average thriller might enjoy this book more than I did.
Has 15 Seconds turned you off from other books in this genre?
No, thrillers are usually really well crafted and with a good author you know you are in good hands. You know they will deliver a caliber of writing and a book that you can expect will satisfy.
Have you listened to any of Christian Hoff’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Have not listened to this performers books before is one, but he was fine.
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from 15 Seconds?
The book explained the story too far, well beyond the necessary, and this went on through the whole book. It was an effort to persevere. It also spelled out the obvious, often enough to get annoying. As a thriller, it should have been tight and clean in the writing and it wasn't.
Any additional comments?
I tried this author hoping to discover a new source of books in this genre, which is a favourite. before I try another book, I will look for reviews.
