Stunning new neo-noir by Blair Kroeber

Revisado: 02-21-25

This novel has a skip-tracer protagonist with a name that hints at the mystical working the all-too-earthly streets of everyday LA. I won't give away the plot's compelling turns through criminal and family matters, but we eagerly follow Allegra Tarot through both. Kroeber's swift, skillful prose is in the spirit of this book's title: there's a continually lean, tempting quality to this story drawn in the results of violence. Get this book today. You'll read it in a hurry.

Masterful weave of the personal and political

Revisado: 10-26-24

David Hare shares a story that seems to be about him and pulls off the trick of making it the story of a nation and the need to fight on microscopic and macroscopic levels.

Can this be true?

Revisado: 09-05-24

Darrell Hammond provides an outstanding performance with out-loud laughs that give way to unlocking a personal mystery. I might have preferred to spend more time with the resolution as it feels tidier than can be real, but I was entirely caught up in the performance for the duration of this audiobook. It's an outstanding addition to the Plus Catalog and the theatrical works provided by Audible. Bravo to Darrell Hammond.

Amazing. Incredible find in Plus Catalog.

Revisado: 12-11-23

This dropped without fanfare into the Plus catalog and it's the next best thing to seeing it on Broadway. Sparkling script, bravura performances, and additional wrinkles to the underlying story (Hamlet) that I did not see coming. Do not miss this.

Michallon flips the script to terrific effect

Revisado: 06-20-23

I was intrigued by this novel's exploration of the serial killer story from the victim's perspective. Michallon achieves much beyond an innovative construction for her tale, "The Quiet Tenant," which provides a skillful, moving portrait of the protagonist with incidents that reveal her character in engaging prose. Highly recommended.

Could not stop listening...

Revisado: 01-13-23

This detective story is utterly compelling. The details around the mechanics of crypto and NFTs are fascinating and presented in a way that is easy to grasp. The presenter is a colorful personality, and it took me a few episodes to warm up to him, but he ultimately won me over.

Sadder story than the film

Revisado: 11-29-22

A terrific book, read beautifully by Simon Vance. Very moving, with strong fantasy elements. Highly recommended.

Ridiculously funny. Distressingly plausible.

Revisado: 11-06-22

This show is laugh-out-loud funny. A spot-on performance by David Harbour brings the multi-layered comedy by Leah Beckmann and Max Silvestri to life.

I didn't know what this was when I clicked on it, but it's a find. Listen now and start laughing right away at this dry-as-bone satire on the media.

Best writing & direction from Aud Original so far!

Revisado: 09-27-22

This tightly-wrought, intensely compelling story grabbed me from the outset and pulled me along its crystal-clear action throughout, despite a bevy of characters (some with multiple identities) and scenes set all over LA. The acting in "Koz" is first-rate and delivered by a distinguished cast, but I have listened to Audible Originals that lost me through unclear storytelling despite terrific casts. Not so with "Koz," which is an apex production of a multifaceted tale. Highly recommended.

"It" Precursor from 20th Century Horror Boom

Revisado: 08-14-22

I read this for the first time in 2022. Straub's "Ghost Story" delivers to the point of excess. The horror in the novel is mainly compelling, but the whole feels like it could be shortened to heighten its effect. I was aware Stephen King is an admirer of Peter Straub's, but I didn't realize that King's "It" retells this type of story with children replacing Straub's adults.
