Story
Scarlett took her degrees in archaeology, a subject that was finding new ground. She became an academic at Cambridge in the recently founded women's college: Newnham. Archaeology was not regarded as a serious subject and so was available to young women, whereas medicine and mathematics continued as the preserve of men, Despite the single subject of her degree she was a polymath and fulminated at the lack of appreciation of her other talents.

Unbeknownst to modern man, this ancient culture conquered the rainforest’s defense system, enabling the Olmecs to build within the jungle.

Story
At a Christmas tree lighting in downtown Lexington, Kentucky, a barefoot, thinly clad young woman runs up to a mounted police officer, frantic and begging for help. She tells the officer her name is Caroline Hanson. But that can’t be. Caroline Hanson vanished into thin air 10 years ago. When Detective Mena Kastaros is informed that the victim in one of her first cases as a detective has reappeared, she battles emotions she’s tried futilely to ignore for nearly a decade.

Publisher's summary
“Time is not what you think it is.”
When John, a nine-year-old boy from 1966, hears his own voice whisper in his head, it ultimately leads to a psychotic break and the truth behind the visions in his mind. Meanwhile, Edward, another nine-year-old boy from 1914, is trapped by the tragic circumstances of his family’s secrets. Somehow, their lives are linked by tragedy, redemption, pain, and triumph in a 109-year-long journey that will take a toll on them both, teach them about a bond stronger than time, and change the future for so many others along the way.
This was my life, and these are my memories of it, real and imagined. Sometimes, the line between them gets so indistinct as to be meaningless. It is a ghost story set in the dying shadows of old St. Joseph, Missouri’s glory days, where no fences divided the airstrip lawns of imagination for children’s feet to tread.
The summer of 1966 would change me, and by fall, I would not be the same child. Adventure does that to you, and sometimes it leaves scars. The Childgrove is set against two eras of change in the Midwestern city of St. Joseph, MO, and the real people and events that linked them together. This audio edition, read by the author, who also composed the original score, combines immersive elements and historical recordings to heighten the drama of a story told in echoes that lead to startling secrets and an emotional conclusion.
Note: Although there is no sex or foul language, sensitive and younger listeners should be aware that this book deals with subjects like suicide, murder, depression, and mental illness. Discretion is advised.

Story
Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Story
Three months ago, Tansy Bloom quit monster hunting. Since then, she’s been trying to live a normal life (whatever that means), but ending up single, unemployed, and living on a boat outside her godfather’s pub definitely wasn’t part of the plan. So, when Tansy’s ex-husband – fellow monster hunter Rex Barclay – turns up like a bad penny and asks for her help with his latest investigation, Tansy reluctantly agrees. At first, the job appears to be a straightforward monster hunt – following a spate of large creature sightings, Rex believes a werewolf is on the loose in Norfolk.

Suspense Filled Mystery with a Dash of Sci-Fi
Two boys, nine and ten years of age, each with their issues, become fast and true friends. Their friendship is tied to their issues and circumstances. Their friendship teaches them about life, growth, overcoming all odds, and more!
The author, John Goldsberry, crafts a complex yet intriguing story. Goldsberry projects the need to believe, trust, and have faith in oneself and others. Hse further stresses that things are not always as they seem and that our minds are complex providing us with ways to protect and heal ourselves. Although the storyline is complex, Goldsberry provides a clear path from beginning to end with his narrative detailed and deliberate.
John Corbin Goldsberry, also serves as the narrator. His delivery is deliberate with well-timed pauses. He projects the needed energy and suspense, further enhancing the narrative. He speaks clearly. This audiobook is done with a theatrical style peppered with music from the 1900s. The pauses between the chapters felt too long. While the music is pertinent to the storyline, they were not as crisp as they could have been.
John Goldsberry created an intriguing and suspense-filled storyline from a child’s point of view that leaves the audience on the edge of their chair.
There were no issues with the production or quality of this audiobook.
