Steve Wheeler is enjoying retired life. He still does the odd bit of investigation work, but he prefers his familiar routines: the pub quiz, his favorite bench, his cat waiting for him at home. His days of adventure are over. Adrenaline is daughter-in-law Amy’s job now. Amy Wheeler thinks adrenaline is good for the soul. Working in private security, every day is dangerous. She’s currently on a remote island protecting mega-bestselling author Rosie D’Antonio, until a dead body and a bag of money mean trouble in paradise. So she sends an SOS to the only person she trusts . . .

A female lead without the patriarchal BS
Revisado: 03-28-25
Finally! A story with a totally bad ass female lead who isn’t preoccupied with an overwhelming need to find a man and have a baby. THANK YOU for not giving into the standard, “life would be so perfect if only I had a man and a baby” BS that most writers fall into, and for reinforcing that a woman is absolutely fantastic, and in this case a real force to be reckoned with, all on her own.
Great story, lovable characters, dynamic narrator. Please write more in this series, it is delightful.

After more than a year of laying low, Billie, Helen, Mary Alice, and Natalie are called back into action. They have enjoyed their time off, but the lack of excitement is starting to chafe: a professional killer can only take so many watercolor classes and yoga sessions without itching to strangle someone...literally. When they receive a call from the head of the elite assassin organization known as the Museum, they are ready tackle the greatest challenge of their careers.

Woman power! Love the Sphinxes. The narrator is superb and brings each of them to life. We need more stories featuring bad ass mature women. Hoping for another installment in this energetic and entertaining series. You will love it, regardless of your gender.

I am a huge JD Kirk/Barry Hutchinson fan & honestly I was skeptical, but had to buy this and give it a try. WOW. This is unlike any of his other work and yet, so gripping, so un-put-downable. It had me guessing to the end. The narration: Louise Brealey & David Tennant are superb. Loved the Zertex reference. All of it - Absolutely brilliant.

Billie, Mary Alice, Helen, and Natalie have worked for the Museum, an elite network of assassins, for 40 years. Now their talents are considered old-school and no one appreciates what they have to offer in an age that relies more on technology than people skills.

A century ago, the Sentience Wars tore the galaxy apart and nearly ended the entire concept of intelligent space-faring life. In the aftermath, a curious tradition was invented - something to cheer up everyone who was left and bring the shattered worlds together in the spirit of peace, unity, and understanding. Once every cycle, the civilizations gather for the Metagalactic Grand Prix - part gladiatorial contest, part beauty pageant, part concert extravaganza, and part continuation of the wars of the past.

3 hours into the story and absolutely nothing has happened. This has a decent premise, but is written in an overly verbose manner. Way too much trying to be clever wordplay and not enough action.

The theft of the Best Idea in the Universe from Thresia's Intergalactic Bank of Ideas plunges the Discovered Universe into chaos. With a robotic partner who’s not the machine he fell in love with and a mind as cool and measured as a forest fire, Isaac must unravel a cosmic conspiracy that stretches further than the reaches of even his depraved imagination. Earth and Thresia teeter on the brink of war as the race to recover the Best Idea intensifies. Yet in this bizarre Universe, truth proves stranger - and far more perilous - than fiction.

Following a convention in the Scottish Highlands, eight social media influencers vanish without a trace, leaving their followers–and families–in a state of shock, and the police clueless as to their whereabouts. And then, the livestreams begin. Broadcast live from their squalid underground cells, the young influencers are forced into a sadistic battle for survival. With each livestream, their captor pits them against each other in a twisted competition for likes. The influencer with the fewest positive reactions faces a gruesome end–live on camera.

Amazing
Revisado: 09-19-24
I thought I had it figured out half way through, I thought, “You’re slippin, JD, you’re getting predicable.” I’m a bloody idiot. The killer totally surprised me.
This series has everything I want in an ebook. A great mystery, humor, and characters that I truly love. Pairing all that with the voice of Angus King is a winning combination.
Can they not make this into a Netflix series?

When the body of a talented photographer is found on the rocks beneath the ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle, DCI Ryan and his team of detectives immediately suspect the worst. But, since none of their potential suspects seems to have a motive, the case runs cold. Then, when another body is found dead on a lonely stretch of road near Hadrian’s Wall and their only suspect has an airtight alibi, the team are faced with another crime without a perpetrator.

The dramatics were laid on rather thickly. The series has gotten totally predictable. I’m disappointed as I really like the earlier books in this series.

In 10 lectures for self-development, professional communications coach and speaker Carol Ann Lloyd teaches the best ways to communicate and listen, including how to focus on understanding, how to overcome barriers and distractions, and how to clarify intentions. When listeners step back to hear what makes conversations successful, they will learn that each component of a conversation is a piece of a larger puzzle, which only fits together when thoughtfully considered and executed.

How Ironic
Revisado: 06-02-24
I found it ironic that this course is about meaningful communication but it was narrated in a completely condescending tone of voice. In fact, when I got to the chapter where the narrator started speaking about how important tone of voice is, I laughed out loud at the irony. It was also at this point (about 2 hours in) that I realized I was not actually listening to what she was saying and so decided to move on to the next audiobook in my wish list.
It’s disappointing as I was very interested to learn something more about effective communication, but could not bear to listen to this narration any longer.
This does prove that the concepts in the course hold true. The way you communicate has a profound impact on how what you are saying is received.

In a field known for startling ideas, the Many-Worlds Interpretation (MWI) of quantum mechanics may take the prize. It holds that parallel to our own world are a large number of other universes, almost identical to ours but with small variations. Copies of each of us inhabit a myriad of these worlds. But they are not us exactly; they share our past history, but they are different people who have unique futures. Although these realms are invisible and can’t communicate with each other, prominent physicists are convinced they must exist.

I’m not a Physicist
Revisado: 05-31-24
I knew next to nothing about Quantum Mechanics or Physics in general before starting this course. I’m happy to say that I was able to keep up with the lectures (for the most part). I found the content fascinating, and I learned a lot. The Professor was engaging and easy to listen to.
