Story
Beverly Underwood and her arch enemy, Lula Dean, live in the tiny town of Troy, Georgia, where they were born and raised. Now Beverly is on the school board, and Lula has become a local celebrity by embarking on mission to rid the public libraries of all inappropriate books—none of which she’s actually read. To replace the “pornographic” books she’s challenged at the local public library, Lula starts her own lending library in front of her home: a cute wooden hutch with glass doors and neat rows of the worthy literature that she’s sure the town’s readers need.

For anybody who prefers to think for themselves, this book is a very clever way of making us view our own prejudices and make more informed decisions.

Story
FBI Agent Nell Flynn hasn't been home in 10 years. Nell and her father, Homicide Detective Martin Flynn, have never had much of a relationship. When Martin Flynn dies in a motorcycle accident, Nell returns to the house she grew up in so that she can spread her father's ashes and close his estate. At the behest of her father's partner, Detective Lee Davis, Nell becomes involved in an investigation into the murders of two young women in Suffolk County. The further Nell digs, the more likely it seems to her that her father should be the prime suspect.

Enjoyed the characters, but Lee came across as too much of a softie. Also, the ending was rushed, as if everything had to happen in the last few minutes. Some unexpected twists in the end.

I love listening to police procedurals and this cold case series has enthralled me from the first book on. I have the rest of the series in my wish list.

Story
A haunting dream that will not relent pulls author Kent Nerburn back into the hidden world of Native America, where dreams have meaning, animals are teachers, and the "old ones" still have powers beyond our understanding. In this moving narrative, we travel through the lands of the Lakota and the Ojibwe, where we encounter a strange little girl with an unnerving connection to the past, a forgotten asylum that history has tried to hide, and complex, unforgettable characters.

This book was mesmerizing from start to finish. I’d downloaded it months ago, but skipped over it in favor of other downloads in my library. What a mistake! From the moment I started listening right through to the end, I experienced such a wide range of emotions. I want my family to read it so we can talk about it.

After a string of rejections from men who tell her they could never, ever, ever see her “that way,” awkward third-grade teacher Micaela Blei signs up for a mysterious course called “The Divine Feminine,” and feels like she might have found the key to the perfect life. Turns out if you’re an A student, you can get an A in anything–including men.

I was looking for a short qnd light listen after finishing a rather tense psycho-thriller. Not quite what I expected, but an entertaining listen about self worth and self discovery. Finished this book in one afternoon.

When the rules turn deadly, winning is everything. Only available from Audible, a gripping psychological thriller from the author of Silent Child, Saving April, and The Broken Ones. Perfect for fans of Gillian Flynn, Lisa Jewell and Paula Hawkins. The perfect couple. The perfect marriage. The perfect game. Effie and Ben May have everything. Success. Beauty. Glamour. But beneath the charming smiles and expensive clothes, a twisted game is in progress. A game for which only they know the rules.

Oh goodness! I love these shorter listens! They seem to move at a faster pace, which I appreciate. That aside, I enjoyed the heroine that faced her fears and set off on a quest to try and solve her best friend’s murder.

As a survivor of abuse, this story brought home how fortunate I was that this isn’t my story. Thank goodness for foster parents who care and how sad that the system fails all the time.

So many twists and turns in this story. I alternated between feelings of compassion and mild disgust at the actions of a group of supposedly close friends. That said, I needed to find out what happened and finished this book in one afternoon.
