Hope Rises is the sequel to Nash Falls which ends with Nash on a plane at the mercy of Victoria Steers. In the first half of the story, it is hard to see how Nash will achieve any of his plans, much less stay alive. But he is smart and remains calm in the most […]

🎧 Nash Falls by David Baldacci @davidbaldacci.bsky.social #MacLeodAndrews #ChristineLakin #LarryHerron #WillCollyer @shiromispeaks.com @hachetteaudio.bsky.social @grandcentralpub.bsky.social @davidbaldacci ‏@GrandCentralPub

The beginning of Nash Falls is sort of straightforward, almost boring description of Walter Nash. He’s a hard-working, talented business person. He loves his wife and daughter. Walter has made his own way. His mother died of cancer when he was young and he’s estranged from his father. Then things start to go awry, so […]

🎧 Kiss Her Goodbye by Lisa Gardner @LisaGardnerBks ‏@hillaryoutloud @grandcentralpub.bsky.social #LoveAudiobooks @GrandCentralPub

I LOVE the Frankie Elkin series. Lisa Gardner has long been an author I have enjoyed and I am thrilled with this newer series. Here’s what I had to say in earlier reviews which gives you a foundation about Frankie: … Frankie is a recovering alcoholic with no special skills beyond tenacity and the fortitude to […]

🎧Nobody’s Fool by Harlan Coben @harlancoben.bsky.social @vikasadam.bsky.social @hachetteaudio.bsky.social @grandcentralpub.bsky.social #LoveAudiobooks @GrandCentralPub @HarlanCoben

I noticed Nobody’s Fool was the second in the Sami Kierce series so I decided to read Fool Me Once first. I found this very confusing since there was no character called Sami Kierce. There was a Roger Kierce and he was a minor, background sort of character. So I was surprised now to read […]

🎧The Quiet Librarian by Allen Eskens @alleneskens.bsky.social @aeskens @MuratovicIlvana @mulhollandbooks @hachetteaudio.bsky.social #LoveAudiobooks

Allen Eskens is one of my favorite authors. It’s partly the genres he has written with compassion and interesting issues and also the Minnesota settings (where I lived for many years). The Quiet Librarian feels a bit of a departure from his usual stories. There are many triggering aspects if you are a sensitive reader. […]

🎧 Conviction by Denise Mina @DameDeniseMina #CathleenMcCarron @HachetteAudio #LoveAudiobooks @4saintjude

When looking for a stand-alone book in between series, my go to is the Reese’s Book Club, mostly because there is a great selection of mysteries featuring strong, capable women. This is how I found Denise Mina’s Conviction; part adventure thriller, part true-crime podcast, and completely engrossing. I had no idea what the story was […]

🎧 Confess: The Autobiography by Rob Halford

I stumbled across this book when looking at available review books from Hachette on Libro.fm. I’ve been a big Judas Priest fan going back to middle school. I remember staying up late on Saturday nights to watch the Headbanger’s Ball on Mtv. I would even record it on VHS so I could rewatch throughout the […]

🎧 Long Shadows by David Baldacci @davidbaldacci ‏@KyfBrewer @orlaghcassidy ‏@HachetteAudio ‏#LoveAudiobooks

I was thrilled to learn there would be another book in the Amos Decker series. My friend, Berls and I had read the first six books earlier this year and gave them high marks. Long Shadows feels like a whole new chapter in Amos’ life. Everything felt like a paradigm shift with all of Amos’ […]
