On the evening of November 24, 1971, D. B. Cooper hijacked Flight 305—Portland to Seattle—with a fake bomb, collected a ransom of $200,000, and then parachuted from the rear of the plane, disappearing into the night...and into history. Fifty years later, Agent Pendergast takes on a bizarre and gruesome case: in the ghost-haunted city of Savannah, Georgia, bodies are found with no blood left in their veins—sowing panic and reviving whispered tales of the infamous Savannah Vampire.

Sadly, Audiobook Pendergast Is Gone

- Bloodless
- By: Douglas Preston, Lincoln Child
- Narrated by: Jefferson Mays
Not the Pendergast story that I grown to enjoy
Reviewed: 08-22-21
Pendergast has been through a lot of different adventures, but this one us beyond believing. Please, a portal into the future, maybe for another character in another genre,but not Pendergast.
William DeMeritt should not be narrating any audio books. He does not present the liquid voice of Pendergast and Constance sounds like an old farmer, male farmer at that. if this is a prelude to the next Pendergast story, I will be hard pressed to listen to it and I have listened to all of the Pendergast stories.
I can not wait to return this book.

Death is reporter Jack McEvoy's beat: his calling, his obsession. But this time, death brings McEvoy the story he never wanted to write - and the mystery he desperately needs to solve. A serial killer of unprecedented savagery and cunning is at large. His targets: homicide cops, each haunted by a murder case he couldn't crack. The killer's calling card: a quotation from the works of Edgar Allan Poe. His latest victim is McEvoy's own brother. And his last...may be McEvoy himself.

Would you listen to The Poet again? Why?

Who was your favorite character and why?
Jack.
Would you listen to another book narrated by Buck Schirner?
Probably not, he seemed to pause the narration at the wrong time. His voice was too gravely for my liking.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Not so much moved me, but caught me by surprise.

It is 1921 and Mary Russell—Sherlock Holmes's brilliant apprentice, now an Oxford graduate with a degree in theology—is on the verge of acquiring a sizable inheritance. Independent at last, with a passion for divinity and detective work, her most baffling mystery may now involve Holmes and the burgeoning of a deeper affection between herself and the retired detective.

Most boring story
Reviewed: 11-15-14
What disappointed you about A Monstrous Regiment of Women: A Novel of Suspense Featuring Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes?
Where was the plot, the suspense. The whole story was told in the last two chapters. Anyone with half a brain knew who the villain was from the beginning.
Would you ever listen to anything by Laurie R. King again?
Probably, but I will really look into the ratings. I cannot believe people gave this 5 or 4 stars.
Which character – as performed by Jenny Sterlin – was your favorite?
Russell
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
disappointment. I thought her first book was too long on describing her journey to her home lands, could have shortened the book by two chapters and have used them to put more intrigue into the story.
Any additional comments?
I wasted a purchase on this book.

Story4 out of 5 stars 567
Fatima, Portugal, 1917: The Virgin Mary appears to three peasant children, sharing with them three secrets, two of which are soon revealed to the world. The third secret is sealed away in the Vatican, read only by popes, and not disclosed until the year 2000. When revealed, its quizzical tone and anticlimactic nature leave many faithful wondering if the church has truly unveiled all of the Virgin Mary's words or if a message far more important has been left in the shadows.
