Acerca de esta escucha
An actress finds herself caught between her ex-husband and a pair of murderous twins.
At the age of twenty-four, Griselda Satter lee has already lived two lifetimes. A star of the silver screen, she gives up Hollywood after a year and moves to New York to become a designer. While her ex-husband, Con, is out of town, she is staying in his apartment. Walking back one night, she mets two cheerful young men who want to go home with her - and won't take no for an answer.
David and Danny are twins, and they are the most beautiful men Griselda has ever seen. They are also the most dangerous. They want something from her: a lustrous blue marble, which they insist is in Con's apartment. Though they leave without hurting her, Griselda knows that next time, they won't be so amiable. To save herself, she must discover the secret of the marble - a secret with death at its core.

Historia
A landslide has closed the Korowai Pass on New Zealand’s South Island, cutting off the town of Thorndike and leaving a sizable farm abandoned. The disaster presents an opportunity for Birnam Wood, an undeclared, unregulated, sometimes-criminal, sometimes-philanthropic guerrilla gardening collective that plants crops wherever no one will notice. For years, the group has struggled to break even. To occupy the farm at Thorndike would mean a shot at solvency at last. But the enigmatic American billionaire Robert Lemoine also has an interest in the place.

The village of Badger's Drift is the essence of tranquillity. But when resident and well-loved spinster Miss Simpson takes a stroll in the nearby woods, she stumbles across something she was never meant to see, and there's only one way to keep her quiet. Miss Simpson's death is not suspicious, say the villagers. But Miss Lucy Bellringer refuses to rest: her friend has been murdered. She is sure of it.

Historia
Why did Agatha Christie spend her career pretending that she was "just" an ordinary housewife, when clearly she wasn't? Lucy Worsley's biography is not just of a massively, internationally successful writer. It's also the story of a person who, despite the obstacles of class and gender, became an astonishingly successful working woman. With access to rarely seen personal letters and papers, Lucy Worsley's biography is both authoritative and entertaining and makes us realize what an extraordinary pioneer Agatha Christie was—truly a woman who wrote the twentieth century.

Dany Ashton is invited to vacation at her stepfather's house in Zanzibar, but even before her airplane takes off there is a stolen passport, a midnight intruder - and murder. In Zanizbar, the family house is Kivulimi, the mysterious "House of Shade", where Dany and the rest of the guests learn that one of them is a desperate killer. The air of freedom and nonchalance that opened the house party fades into growing terror, as the threat of futher violence flowers in the scented air of Zanzibar.

Historia
Paul Madvig was a cheerfully corrupt ward-heeler who aspired to something better: the daughter of Senator Ralph Bancroft Henry, the heiress to a dynasty of political purebreds. Did he want her badly enough to commit murder? And if Madvig was innocent, which of his dozens of enemies was doing an awfully good job of framing him? Dashiell Hammett’s tour de force of detective fiction combines an airtight plot, authentically venal characters, and writing of telegraphic crispness. A one-time detective and a master of deft understatement, Hammett invented the noir crime novel.

It is 1936, and on the East Side of Manhattan, a would-be writer named Don Birnam decides to have a drink. And then another, and then another, until he's in the midst of what becomes a five-day binge. A classic tale of one man's struggle with alcoholism, this revolutionary novel remains Charles Jackson's best-known book - a daring autobiographical work that paved the way for contemporary addiction literature.

Historia
When Sam Spade gets drawn into the Maltese Falcon case, we know what to expect: straight talk, hard questions, no favors, and no way for anyone to get underneath the protective shell he wears like a second skin. We know that his late partner, Miles Archer, was a son of a bitch; that Spade is sleeping with Archer's wife, Iva; that his tomboyish secretary, Effie Perine, is the only innocent in his life. What we don't know is how Spade became who he is. Spade & Archer completes the picture.

Historia
Midnight Cowboy is considered by many to be one of the best American novels published since World War II. The main story centers around Joe Buck, a naive but eager and ambitious young Texan, who decides to leave his dead-end job in search of a grand and glamorous life he believes he will find in New York City. But the city turns out to be a much more difficult place to negotiate than Joe could ever have imagined. He soon finds himself and his dreams compromised. Buck's fall from innocence and his relationship with the crippled street hustler Ratso Rizzo form the novel's emotional nucleus.

The profoundly original and wildly entertaining short stories of a legendary Twilight Zone writer. It is only natural that Charles Beaumont would make a name for himself crafting scripts for The Twilight Zone - for his was an imagination so limitless it must have emerged from some other dimension. Perchance to Dream contains a selection of Beaumont's finest stories, including five that he later adapted for Twilight Zone episodes.

All in all, this is a nice 40s noir crime story.
The So Blue Marble is the MacGuffin—you don’t really know what it is, but it doesn’t really matter. There are a group of charming psychopaths after it, and they’re willing to terrify or kill anyone in their way. The story is not nearly as terrifying as the characters are terrified. And the bad guys are not nearly as charming as the characters are charmed. Lots of characters are killed, though. All in all, this is a nice 40s noir crime story.

Got bit tedious after a while.
An excellent noir, but its formula gets a bit redundant as the heroine gets inti and out from the same jam. It is also hard to identify with her whiny, self-sacrifying stance.

Enjoyed this!
I liked this story. Twin psychopaths... of course I had to listen to it. There were reviews about the speed in which this was read stating it was too slow... I liked the speed and the voice of the narrator. It gave it some drama. There were also comments about how none of the characters were likable and I agree. But I don’t think the author wanted you to like them. It was a matter of... which characters are most unlikable and which are the least unlikable of the entire lot? The book was written 1940 which is why I listened to it. If you need a break from modern authors, this might be a good choice. Ride the Pink Horse from the same author was also good.

Okay, slow moving
I listened to this audiobook a while back and I think I enjoyed it more the first time. While the writing is good, and the premise intriguing, the story itself is pretty slow moving. This one doesn’t at all live up to Dorothy B. Hughes’ later work, Ride The Pink Horse which, in my mind, is truly great and should be considered an American classic.

If You Liked Strangers on a Train…
Though completely different than Patricia Highsmith’s masterpiece, this earlier story is driven by the same dynamic: an innocent person made the unwilling co-conspirator of a psychopath. Or, in this case, two psychopaths.
The marble, its Maltese Falconesque legend, the characters sucked into its orbit, and the overall quality of the writing—including some blindingly vivid similes—create a palpable, unnerving tension. It’s hard to believe this is Hughes’ first effort in the genre. And as if that wasn’t enough, Gabrielle de Cuir’s performance makes everything darn near perfect.

Okay thriller
Disappointing crime story with clueless characters trapped in situations that a sane person would have avoided. I never cared about any of the spoiled and stupid members of the upper class who filled the story.

Dorothy B Hughes really is the queen of noir.
Gabrielle de Cuir did so well with this. The plot moves fast, so definitely be alert for this one. Hold onto your hat and enjoy the show.
