From Martin Clark - praised by Entertainment Weekly as "our best legal-thriller writer" - comes a wickedly clever, tenderhearted, and intricately plotted novel about a hard-luck lawyer's refusal to concede defeat, even as fate, the court system, and a gang of untouchable con artists conspire against him.

I had read some previous reviews so I was expecting the unexpected and yet...I didn't figure it out which is always delightful. David Aaron Baker is now on my list of trusted narrators. A good read.

Back when Harry Bosch was just a rookie homicide detective, he had an inspiring mentor who taught him to take the work personally and light the fire of relentlessness for every case. Now that mentor, John Jack Thompson, is dead, but after his funeral his widow hands Bosch a murder book that Thompson took with him when he left the LAPD 20 years before - the unsolved killing of a troubled young man in an alley used for drug deals.

Soaring and painful
Revisado: 12-07-18
This book is so powerful and yet so simple. Young love in the context of the painful truth of being Black in a country that hates you for BEING at all.
JB is masterful at keeping hope alive.

My new fave author and narrator
Revisado: 11-28-18
Wow! This is my first book by Dorothy Koomson and now I'm going to read them all. I found the book because of the narrator...did I mention "wow" yet? The book is romantic, a bit spicy, smart and a tad scary but not too much of any of those characteristics.
The author keeps the interest without going overboard with the storyline.
Excellent!

Nine people gather at a remote health resort. Some are here to lose weight, some are here to get a reboot on life, some are here for reasons they can’t even admit to themselves. Amidst all of the luxury and pampering, the mindfulness and meditation, they know these ten days might involve some real work. But none of them could imagine just how challenging the next ten days are going to be.

I love this author's work and have listened to every one. I waited eagerly for this book and admittedly was thrilled to see it was so long (I could knit an entire shawl while listening) until I started it. I can't say want was more disappointing, the story or the narration. I kept hoping it would redeem

While Bernie continues his struggle to pay the bills, Chet - with his sharp nose and even sharper teeth - keeps bringing down the perps. Told from Chet's perspective and featuring the humorous ramblings of a dog, Thereby Hangs a Tail is another winner.

I like this series and love the narrator. Great easy reading. Enjoy the pets perspective and Bernie is not quite as good a detective as Chet. Fun listen.

In this award-winning Audible Studios production, Trevor Noah tells his wild coming-of-age tale during the twilight of apartheid in South Africa. It’s a story that begins with his mother throwing him from a moving van to save him from a potentially fatal dispute with gangsters, then follows the budding comedian’s path to self-discovery through episodes both poignant and comical.

I LOVED this book. I read it for my book club and while I found it funny in the beginning, I didn't take to it immediately. I put it down and picked it up after being side tracked by some legal thrillers and I'm really glad I kept going. His story is painful and real and he manages to make is accessible to the reader. Did I mention I LOVED it?

Sixteen-year-old Starr Carter moves between two worlds: the poor neighborhood where she lives and the fancy suburban prep school she attends. The uneasy balance between these worlds is shattered when Starr witnesses the fatal shooting of her childhood best friend Khalil at the hands of a police officer. Khalil was unarmed. Soon afterward, his death is a national headline. Some are calling him a thug, maybe even a drug dealer and a gangbanger. Protesters are taking to the streets in Khalil’s name.

Painfully Beautiful
Revisado: 09-14-17
This is one of the best books I've read in a long while. A true and honest voice filled with character and curiosity, the story speaks to the resilience of humanity even when things seem hopeless. Both heart wrenching and funny the author and narrator give you a wide range of emotions to experience.

Narrator is excellent!
Revisado: 02-19-16
I love legal thrillers. This is my first book from this author and there are some pros and cons.
Complex storylines make the book interesting but the flow is disrupted by the pieces miraculously falling together. This beach bum, mushy, gushing with love lawyer is easy to like as is his girlfriend/detective. Their perfect relationship is a cute backdrop but a couple of times a bit too cute.
There is a lot of detail about the location and I found that enjoyable.
The author REALLY explains every detail in the courtroom interaction which felt like a bit more than I needed and made the book longer than necessary (although I LOVE long audiobooks).
Continuity in the recording was bumpy a few times (double recording of specific lines) but the narrator really makes the story. Excellent voice acting and all of the characters are believable.
There was really only one exchange that felt so over the top in the dialogue that it stands out as almost syrupy. J.D. provides a blow by blow description of Matt's life and questions how he was able to overcome and become so amazing! I thought I would have to SWOON!
All in all it is a good listen and the narrator truly makes this book a joy to listen to.
I'll listen to more of the series.
