After the loss of her mother and her own battle with breast cancer, Joanna Teale returns to her graduate research on nesting birds in rural Illinois, determined to prove that her recent hardships have not broken her.

A wonderful gift of a story!
Revisado: 08-14-23
A truly lovely story of broken people being pulled together with the “help” of the “Ursa Major” galaxy’s favorite explorer.
An amazing debut book paired with a gifted reader.

Historia
All Bunny McGarry wants is a spot of breakfast and a decent cup of tea. So imagine how annoyed he gets when two masked men attempt to rob the New York diner he is in. Unfortunately, dealing with that problem just leads to a whole lot more. One of the diner’s other customers isn’t who she appears to be, and the odds aren’t great that she is going to live to see another breakfast.

Historia
Ten years ago, Craig Johnson wrote his first short story, the Hillerman Award-winning "Old Indian Trick". This was one of the earliest appearances of the sheriff who would go on to star in Johnson’s best-selling, award-winning novels and the A&E hit series Longmire. Each Christmas Eve thereafter, fans rejoiced when Johnson sent out a new short story featuring an episode in Walt’s life that doesn’t appear in the novels; over the years, many have asked why they can’t buy the stories in book form.

Where does Wait for Signs rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Top 5 books.
What other book might you compare Wait for Signs to and why?
The humanity is similar to Tony Hillerman ' work but the wonderful humor is all his own.
Which scene was your favorite?
I have listened to the story with the out - house at least 5 times and still laugh out loud all the way through.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No, it is to be enjoyed in small bites and savored.
Any additional comments?
George Guidell is such a master of voices, male and female.

Historia
In the seventh book in the brilliant New York Times best-selling mystery series, canine narrator Chet and P.I. Bernie journey to Washington, DC, and the dog-eat-dog world of our nation’s capital. Stephen King has called Chet "a canine Sam Spade full of joie de vivre". Robert B. Parker dubbed Spencer Quinn’s writing "major-league prose". Now the beloved team returns in another suspenseful novel that finds Chet sniffing around the capital city and using his street smarts to uncover a devilish plot.

Another fun dog helps human friend solve mystery
Revisado: 08-19-14
If you could sum up Paw and Order in three words, what would they be?
Chet the "jet" rules!
Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?
Lots of twists and very likeable characters.
Have you listened to any of Jim Frangione’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
His narrative makes this audio book really fun. I laughed out loud many times.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I just loved listening to Chet's comments on the human conditions.
Any additional comments?
Sit back and enjoy!

Historia
Gideon Crew, brilliant scientist, master thief, is living on borrowed time. When his mysterious employer, Eli Glinn, gives him an eyebrow-raising mission, he has no reason to refuse. Gideon's task: steal a page from the priceless Book of Kells, now on display in New York City and protected by unbreakable security. Accomplishing the impossible, Gideon steals the parchment - only to learn that hidden beneath the gorgeously illuminated image is a treasure map dating back to the time of the ancient Greeks.

Their worst book!
Revisado: 08-10-14
This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
The story line is ludicrous. Event the characters became very annoying especially the female lead. I have enjoyed many of their books and was very disappointed with this one.
What could Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
The use of the Odyssee was just way too big a leap. Give me a break, a giant cyclops still alive on a lonely island inhabited by murderous natives. The "heros" are repeatedly in mortal danger and still the female lead keeps sabotaging any help. Also the last minute helicopter rescue is right out of a Star Trek movie.
What didn’t you like about David W. Collins’s performance?
He did what he could with a bummer script.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Big disappointment as I was looking forward to another good read from them.
Any additional comments?
I sure hope the next one makes up for this one.
