Story4.5 out of 5 stars 274
Chicago surgeon Emily Hartford has never quite shaken off the dust of her hometown in Michigan. She may be a professional success and have a princely boyfriend in the Windy City, but she can’t seem to let go of being “the coroner’s daughter” from Freeport. Once again, she finds herself pulled back to her hometown when Jeremiah—the eleven-year-old son of her best friend, Jo—goes missing on the frigid shores of Lake Michigan.

The story dragged in. The narrators tone was flat and very unexciting. I couldn’t wait to finish this. The story of Brandon and Emily was a snore and you knew how it would end.

Fourteen years ago, Kaitlin Roe was the lone witness to the abduction of her cousin Gina. She still remembers that lonely Virginia road. She can still see the masked stranger and hear Gina’s screams. And she still suffers the guilt of running away in fear and resents being interrogated as a suspect in the immediate aftermath. Now Kaitlin has only one way to assuage the pain and nightmares—by interviewing everyone associated with the unsolved crime for a podcast that could finally bring closure to a case gone cold.

Sad and Heartbreaking
Reviewed: 12-21-18
This was an interesting story but sad and heartbreaking. I wanted it to end differently but then it wouldn't have been very realistic. The person who causes all the heartache is just a miserable, soul less human. Would read another book by this author.

People start dropping dead around Charlie, giant ravens perch on his building, and it seems that everywhere he goes, a dark presence whispers to him from under the streets. Strange names start appearing on his nightstand notepad, and before he knows it, those people end up dead, too. Yup, it seems that Charlie Asher has been recruited for a new job, an unpleasant but utterly necessary one: Death.

If you like off the wall super natural type stories than this is the book for you. I am not a big fan of the genre so I found the story quite silly.

Dr. Kay Scarpetta is working a suspicious death scene when an emergency alert sounds on her phone. A video link lands in her text messages and seems to be from her computer-genius niece, Lucy. But how can it be? It's clearly a surveillance film of Lucy taken almost 20 years ago. As Scarpetta watches she begins to learn frightening secrets about her niece. That film clip and others sent soon after raise dangerous legal implications that increasingly isolate Scarpetta and leave her confused, worried, and not knowing where to turn.

Patricia Cornwell Please Stop
Reviewed: 11-02-16
Is there anything you would change about this book?
Please go back to solving murders and crime and stop having the story revolve around Kay Scarpetta and her group always being the target of someone who wants to get at them. No one could live thru all that they have faced. Also, let them at least act like they like each other.
If you’ve listened to books by Patricia Cornwell before, how does this one compare?
The anger that exists throughout has been carried on for many of the books in the last 10 years.
What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?
The reader was slow in the beginning but got better as time went on,
If this book were a movie would you go see it?
I would see a movie about Kay Scarpetta but not this story.
Any additional comments?
Help us to like the characters again.

After working one of the worst mass killings in U.S. history, Scarpetta returns home to Cambridge, Massachusetts. Exhausted and ill, she's recovering at home when she receives an unsettling call. The body of a young woman has been discovered on the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's rugby field. The victim, a graduate student named Gail Shipman, is oddly draped in ivory linen and posed in a way that is too deliberate to be the killer's first strike.

Everyone's Angry
Reviewed: 02-14-14
What made the experience of listening to Dust the most enjoyable?
The narration by Kate Reading is spot on.
What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?
Most interesting was that Kay Scarpetta was human and came down with the flu. The least interesting or should I say the most disturbing was the mentioning of the true Newtown killings. Not a subject that I liked hearing about in a book of fiction.
Which character – as performed by Kate Reading – was your favorite?
Wesley Benton
Any additional comments?
The Scarpetta books have become to angry. It is like no one likes each other. They are always mad with each other. There is no fun or happiness in any of their lives.

Only minutes after Abbie Elliot and her three best friends step off of a private helicopter, they enter the most luxurious, sumptuous, sensually pampering hotel they have ever been to. Their lavish presidential suite overlooks Monte Carlo, and they surrender: to the sun and pool, to the sashimi and sake, to the Bruno Paillard champagne. In the morning's harsh light, Abbie awakens on a yacht, surrounded by police. Something awful has happened - something impossible, unthinkable. Abbie, Winnie, Serena, and Bryah are arrested and accused of the foulest crime imaginable.

Would you listen to 11th Hour again? Why?
I don't listen to books twice, but I would recommend this to my friends.
What was one of the most memorable moments of 11th Hour?
Joe's supposed affair, and Lindsey's reaction.
What about January LaVoy’s performance did you like?
She did a good job, I just prefer to hear the familiar voice of Carolyn McCormick and how she interprets the characters.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Enjoyed the story but there was nothing outstanding with the storyline.

Before Stephanie can even step foot off Flight 127, Hawaii to Newark, she’s knee deep in trouble. Her dream vacation turned into a nightmare, and she’s flying back to New Jersey solo. Worse still, her seatmate never returned to the plane after the L.A. layover. Now he’s dead, in a garbage can, waiting for curbside pickup. His killer could be anyone. And a ragtag collection of thugs and psychos, not to mention the FBI, are all looking for a photograph the dead man was supposed to be carrying.

Same story different day
Reviewed: 01-02-12
What made the experience of listening to Explosive Eighteen the most enjoyable?
I love Stephanie Plum and cannot wait for the movie, I have listened to every book in the series.
What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?
The series is becoming very predictable and even though the bad guys change each time the main characters stay the same and become quite predictable. The same things keep happening to Stephanie in each book, something always happens to her car, she can never choose between Morrelli or Ranger, Grandma Mazur causes a ruckess at the funeral home. After eighteen books I am starting to loose interest.
What about Lorelei King’s performance did you like?
Ms King does an excellent job with her voice changes, she is Stephine Plum. My only concern is when she does other books for Janet Evanovich that are not the Plum series the characters sound the same and it makes you think it is a Plum book.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No, I listen to this as I am driving.
Any additional comments?
I don't want anyone to think I have not thoroughly enjoyed this series of books because I have, it is a fun and easy listen.
