At first glance, Jellicoe Close seems to be a perfect suburban street – well-kept houses with pristine lawns, neighbours chatting over garden fences, children playing together. But there are dark secrets behind the neat front doors, hidden dangers that include a ruthless criminal who will stop at nothing. It’s up to DS Maeve Kerrigan and DI Josh Derwent to uncover the truth. Posing as a couple, they move into the Close, blurring the lines between professional and personal as never before.

Not her best, but …
Revisado: 09-26-23
Slow and not very compelling compared to previous stories in this series. That said, I really want to see further development of Maeve and Josh. The tension between these two can’t continue this way and Maeve can’t continue to be so obtuse. Now I have to wait for the next story in this series which I definitely will read as soon as it’s published.

The Given Day explores the crippling violence and irrepressible exuberance of a country at war with, and in the thrall of, itself. As Danny, Luther, and those around them struggle to define themselves in increasingly turbulent times, they gradually find family in one another and, together, ride a rising storm of hardship, deprivation, and hope that will change all their lives.

Love the story, HATE the music!
Revisado: 04-15-23
Who ever thought adding loud music to distinguish sections should be fired! It ruins a perfectly good story with good narration. VERY ANNOYING! I sure hope the next book in this series doesn’t have the bleeping loud music.

In Juneau, a young Native archeologist is sent to protect the ancient burial sites uncovered by an Alaskan gold mining company. He never returns. In Anchorage, a female torso - minus head, hands, and feet - is washed ashore near a jogging trail by the airport. It is not the first. At Alaska’s Fugitive Task Force, Arliss Cutter and deputy Lola Teariki are pulled from their duties and sent to a federal court in Juneau. Instead of tracking dangerous fugitives, Cutter and Lola will be keeping track of sequestered jurors in a high-profile trial.

Great series! Can’t wait for the next one
Revisado: 09-02-21
Interesting characters and unique stories, beautiful landscape. These stories portray the difficulties, prejudice and even hatred that the natives of Alaska deal with every day. There is so much opportunity for character development I am looking forward to the next one in the series. Narrator is sometimes difficult to differentiate characters but I got used to it.

FBI Special Agent Kate O’Hare is known for her fierce dedication and discipline on the job, chasing down the world’s most wanted criminals and putting them behind bars. Her boss thinks she is tenacious and ambitious; her friends think she is tough, stubborn, and maybe even a bit obsessed. And while Kate has made quite a name for herself for the past five years the only name she’s cared about is Nicolas Fox - an international crook she wants in more ways than one.

In the grand storytelling style that is his signature, James Michener sweeps us back through time to the very beginnings of the Jewish faith, thousands of years ago. Through the predecessors of four modern men and women, we experience the entire colorful history of the Jews, including the life of the early Hebrews and their persecutions, the impact of Christianity, the Crusades, and the Spanish Inquisition, all the way to the founding of present-day Israel and the Middle East conflict.

- Narrado por: Larry McKeever
Terrible Narration ruins a wonderful book.
Revisado: 08-27-15
What made the experience of listening to The Source the most enjoyable?
I read Michner's books years ago and absolutely loved them. The narration for this story is terrible and I don't know if I can stand to finish the book. I won't buy anything using this narrator ever again. What a shame.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Don't know, can't stand to listen to this narrator any more.
What didn’t you like about Larry McKeever’s performance?
Monotone.
Any additional comments?
For heaven's sake, get some updated narration. these are wonderful stories but Larry Keever reads like a robot.

Unusual characters in an interesting story.
Revisado: 01-31-15
Would you consider the audio edition of In Cold Blood to be better than the print version?
Yes. I liked the audio for the sense of drama and suspense the narrator brought.
What other book might you compare In Cold Blood to and why?
It reminded me a bit of a female "Grey Man".
Which scene was your favorite?
When the truck got a flat tire and she changed it but not quick enough to avoid an attack by the rebels.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Only that it was WAY TO SHORT!!!!! There is a lot of time and room to develop these characters. I'm looking forward to reading what happens with Beatrix Rose next.
Any additional comments?
WAY TO SHORT!!!!! What happens next??
