This latest book and the conclusion to book 21 is really good. I am so impressed. This book crosses a few genres, mainly mystery/thriller and sci-fi.

The big question everyone has I’m sure after so many people were unhappy after the last book is…. Was it worth the wait? In my opinion it was but to each their own.

I’m not going to go into what this book was about. I’m very frustrated with the way the reviews are being handled these days and I’m not sure how many more I’m going to write if any, who knows. If it does get posted it will probably be on the last page.

Anyway, I really enjoyed the book and thought Jefferson Mays did a great job narrating

…but who knows if my review will even see the light of day. Recently Audible has taken down one of my 5 star reviews and I’ve tried to post another one twice and they refuse to put it up. So if this one makes it I’ll have a celebration!!
One of the best in the series.
Superb narration.
VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

This book begins with a terrifying murder of a woman. This is followed by Jack Widow meeting up with someone he knew from his time in the NCIS. He’s invited to a ceremony where a Native American woman is to be honored. She’s going to be awarded a medal. A first. But she never showed up. Because she’s now a civilian the navy doesn’t feel that they can investigate.

Widow being the man he is has to find her. Dead or alive. I don’t want to say any more about the plot because this story is soooo worth reading. My heart was racing from the suspense. This is probably the most intense book in the series so far.

Alan Philip Ormond is one of the VERY BEST narrators performing. He does a phenomenal job with this book.

This book has my VERY HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION!!!

WOW!! This book is absolutely one of the BEST in the series if not the best! Although very dark this story kept me on the edge of my seat and listening nonstop from beginning to end.
I don’t want to say much about the plot because I don’t want to spoil this book for anyone. So the short of it is that Mike Bowditch with his father in law Charlie and a friend of his go to visit a stranger to the Maine wilderness. Checking out some rumors he begins an informal conversation. The three are offered coffee which turns out to be drugged. The stranger and his daughter are on the run and Charlie’s friend is dead. This all happens in the first few chapters. What happens next is a wild ride. Mike is off on the chase of his life, one Charlie assures him that he will probably be defeated. The ending will blow you away.

Henry Leyva does an Outstanding job narrating

So, Josh Duffy has a major case of PTSD. His nightmares wake him up almost every night. His wife is aware but doesn’t like to make a big thing out of it. They’re both working for the Diplomatic Security Service in Washington DC. They’re given an assignment in Ghana which should be a routine job. It should have been a safe job. They decide to bring their children along and make it a family getaway. When there’s an assassination attempt on the President of Ghana’s life it turns out not to be so routine or safe after all. Everyone Josh is responsible for is now in grave danger. And to make matters worse he’s familiar with the terrorists/mercenaries threatening his charges, and then his children. He used to work for him. He knows how ruthless and how little regard for other people’s lives this man can have.

This book’s action begins about five hours in and after that it doesn’t let up until the end.

Adam Gold is one of my favorite narrators and I wish he would do more so I’m very happy when ever I see his name. He does an INCREDIBLE job with this book.

Once again Jack Carr has demonstrated that he is a brilliant storyteller! This book begins with a Chinese Naval Officer making plans to bomb the US with a nuclear weapon. A Chinese government’s top official contacts the US and provides vague details about a rogue officer who plans to bomb Hawaii but not with a nuclear weapon. They say he wants to start a the US to start a war. It’s all lies.

Meanwhile back on the farm Reece’s home comes under attack. His fiancée is shot. Although she was wearing a vest, the bulletproof’s ceramic shatters and causes her even more damage. But it did save her life. Reece vows to kill everyone responsible for this attack. The CIA had been trying to get him to come back and he had been ready to leave the agency for good and make a home with Katie.
While all this is going on Reece is having visions of his deceased wife and daughter. They keep appearing and telling him how much they love him. He can’t decide if they’re giving him their blessing or trying to warn him that Katie will end up just like them if he continues with his plans to make a life with her.
The Chinese government wants to offer Reece sanctuary with them to keep him and the AI Alice who has modeled itself after him. Their plan is to kill him if he refuses
This book is EXPLOSIVE!!!! To say the least!

Ray Porter does a phenomenal job narrating. He IS the voice of James Reece and I don’t think any other narrator could do this character justice.

Hopefully this will get posted Audible has been playing games with my reviews again. Not putting them up and taking some down. I never understood why they do that because I generally only post five star reviews. Go figure!!

Anyway, this is a really cute cozy mystery series. I would say it’s not as detailed and interesting as DeLeon’s Miss Fortune series but better than her Mud Bug series!

This is just light listening with a murder or two that you can get lost in for usually about five hours or so. This book is no different. There’s a murder at the beginning that through many mishaps gets solved at the very end.

Johanna Parker does a great job narrating. She does Southern so well!!
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

I received Incel from Phil Williams for free through his newsletter. No strings attached, no promise to write a review, nothing. He sends his newsletters periodically with lists of new authors he’s discovered and links to free books on Amazon.

Anyway, this book was a totally unexpected surprise. I read the summary and thought it sounded ok. I must say that the summary doesn’t do this book justice.
One of the things I really like about Williams’ books is that they are all so realistic The characters are believable and the plots are plausible.
This book is focused on five individuals. A set of male friends (one a jock and a womanizer, other is an average looking nice guy), a set of female friends (both very pretty but one is gun shy having had a bad experience with a jock and womanizer) and one deranged individual who feels/is an outcast. Not handsome, not talented and due to being homeschooled he has no social skills. He also has an addiction to demented pornography. If you think you can see a collision coming, you are correct. However I won’t spoil this for anyone.

I VERY HIGHLY RECOMMEND this book and would have gladly spent a credit to read/listen to it (as I have with most of his other books.
Tristen Wright and Mia Valyn do a great job narrating. Their styles complement each other.

This third book in the Matthew Redd series is just as solid as the first two books. This one kind of reminds me of the first book in the James Beltz’s JD Slaughter series.

Redd comes under attack from a group of men who have it out to get him. Although there’s a blizzard expected, Redd sends his wife and child away for their safety. He takes his aged horse up into the mountains that he knows so well. He grew up there with his adoptive father and knows every hill and valley. He knows this will give him an advantage over the hit team coming for him. Between the snow and the terrain his hopes are that he’ll be able to get the upper hand.
These men are not backwoods mountain men. They’ve already destroyed a ConAir plane carrying his father and killed the prisoner and most of the agents guarding and protecting the man turned snitch being transported.

Chris Abell does a fantastic job narrating.

I pre purchased two books that I’ve been waiting on for months, this morning I had to make a hard choice and went with this one. I am so glad I did!!

This book goes back to Longmire’s days in college. It’s 1964 and he’s completed four years and is going off to Vietnam. But first he rescues three men from drowning. The fishing boat the men were on is loaded with millions of dollars worth of heroin. The police only give Longmire a cursory glance before deciding that he and Henry Standingbear are not involved. They also warn him that the people who owned the drugs might blame them for the loss.
Now on his way to the army base his truck breaks down. He and Henry Standingbear are stranded in a place called Bone Valley. This was the location of a Japanese internment camp. They’re told that there are no children there but Walt saw a child running around wearing the mask of a devil. Only one person acknowledges her existence and he tells him to stay away from the girl, she brings trouble to those who see her.
In the present day Longmire is under scrutiny for shooting and killing someone. The number of people he’s killed and his weapon of choice is being questioned because it’s not the accepted police issue.
You know there’s a collision of events coming but how remains a mystery for some time. And this town is so strange. Again you know something has happened here but that too will keep it’s secrets until…

George Guidall does a phenomenal job narrating as always.

This book has my VERY HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION!!!!
