Historia
Quinn Alexander has committed an unthinkable crime. To avoid spending her life in prison, Quinn makes a run for it. She leaves behind her home, her job, and her family. She grabs her passport and heads for the northern border before the police can discover what she's done. But when an unexpected snowstorm forces her off the road, Quinn must take refuge at the broken-down, isolated Baxter Motel. The handsome and kindly owner, Nick Baxter, is only too happy to offer her a cheap room for the night. Unfortunately, the Baxter Motel isn't the quiet safe haven it seemed to be.

McFadden’s female characters are all idiots
Revisado: 04-12-25
Audible kept recommending Freida McFadden so I bought several of her books. The stories are pretty good, if predictable, but her female characters are all so dumb as to be unbelievable. I’m going to move to a different author.

Historia
The campaign of destruction that Axel Soledad and Dallas Cates wreaked on Nate Romanowski and Joe Pickett left both men in tatters, especially Nate, who lost almost everything. Wondering if the civilized life left him vulnerable to attack, Nate dropped off the grid with his falcons in tow to prepare for vengeance. When Joe gets a call from the governor asking for help finding his son-in-law, who has gone missing in the Sierra Madre mountain range, he enlists the help of a local, a rookie game warden named Susan Kany.

Not Box’s Best
Revisado: 03-22-25
I preferred the older Joe Pickett books before Box became so consumed with politics. Narration was good, but at least once he substituted a wrong character’s name while reading. I had to go back and re- listen. An editor should’ve picked it up.

Historia
A construction project beneath the National Mall reveals a dark secret dating back to the Civil War, something buried by a cabal of scientists, led by Alexander Graham Bell, who helped found the Smithsonian Institution. It is a cache of bones, preserved in amber, protecting a wonder like no other, the very secret of life after death. But such a prize is guarded by a horror out of the ancient past, a horror that still lives in the marrow of those bones - and is now free again.

Not Rollins’ Best
Revisado: 03-03-25
I’ve loved the Sigma group books — the mix of science, fiction, and action have made these books very enjoyable. However this one fell short for me. I also didn’t enjoy the narrator. The combination of his slurred, juicy-sounding words and his penchant for odd emphasis was unsettling. Add to that his way of making the Hawaiian speakers have a Mexican accent and making Kowalski sound like a mumbling thug — well he’s on my list of “never buy a book narrated by”.

Historia
For more than twenty-five years, Philadelphia homicide detective Bree Taggert has tucked away the nightmarish childhood memories of her parents’ murder-suicide…. Until her younger sister, Erin, is killed in a crime that echoes that tragic night: innocent witnesses and a stormy marriage that ended in gunfire. There’s just one chilling difference. Erin’s husband, Justin, has vanished.

Bad narrator.
Revisado: 12-08-24
Someone must’ve once told this author that using similes in her writing is useful. Then someone else must’ve told her you can never have too much of a good thing. Then someone else story line was interesting. The style grates. As does the narrator’s tendency to put emphasis on the wrong word(s) in a sentence.

It was unsophisticated and maybe written for young people. The narrator was excellent and that was enough for me.

It’s a great story, but needs a better editor
Revisado: 07-25-24
I loved the premise of this book. The concept and situation were realistic and well described. However the writing is pretty simplistic. The dialog is awkward and the characters are just cardboard.

Excellent
Revisado: 05-05-24
I appreciated the book’s method of handling an ugly issue. Yes, it was a little preachy at times, but I grew up in the north in the 60’s and needed the reminder and hard education. I suspect things were probably even worse than described here. I highly recommend this book

A sappy romance
Revisado: 04-18-24
If you like books that portray women as weak and emotional creatures who make unbelievably stupid decisions about love, then this book might be for you. I can sort of forgive the grandmother, Vivian, whose story we hear in pieces, for her poor choice in an abusive marriage since she was brought up in a verbally abusive household during WW2. But I can’t give the same forbearance to her daughter who is self centered and lacks the ability to forge a lasting relationship with a man and who betrays her own daughter. And then there’s the daughter, Elise, a modern woman who should know better, but who makes her own self-absorbed choices and ruins lives around her. The author tries to dress her up and make her sympathetic. She cares about immigrants and became a widow even before she was married. But that does nothing to dispel her own selfish actions. This book sets back all the work done by strong, independent, and truly caring women over the last 80 years.
The narrator’s attempt at midwestern accents was a failure. She has a pleasant voice and reads well, but makes men should like Gomer Pyle.
