The call comes at midnight. It looks like a tragic and petty murder - a rising star in San Francisco's legal firmament found shot in a dark alley. But for homicide lieutenant Abe Glitsky, the crime cuts horribly close to home - unknown to anyone, the victim was his daughter. Seething, Glitsky leans hard on his only suspect - a homeless heroin addict found lingering over his daughter's body, with her jewelry in his pocket and a smoking gun in his hand.

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

It wasn't a problem with the book. It was a problem with the reader.

If you’ve listened to books by John Lescroart before, how does this one compare?

OK

Would you be willing to try another one of Robert Lawrence’s performances?

I will look for Mr. Lawrence's name and not get that book.

What character would you cut from The Hearing?

Any additional comments?

Is there anything you would change about this book?

The reader needs to learn to use more inflection and tone.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Not so much on the edge but involved.

How could the performance have been better?

See above

Could you see The Hunt Club being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

Possibly a TV series

Galapagos takes the listener back one million years to A.D. 1986. A simple vacation cruise suddenly becomes an evolutionary journey. Thanks to an apocalypse, a small group of survivors stranded on the Galapagos Islands are about to become the progenitors of a brave, new, totally different human race. Kurt Vonnegut, America's master satirist, looks at our world and shows us all that is sadly, madly awry - and all that is worth saving.

When a listless office employee (the narrator) meets Tyler Durden, his life begins to take on a strange new dimension. Together they form Fight Club - a secretive underground group sponsoring bloody bare-knuckle boxing matches staged in seedy alleys, vacant warehouses, and dive-bar basements. Fight Club lets ordinary men vent their suppressed rage, and it quickly develops a fanatical following.

Rick Dockery was the third-string quarterback for the Cleveland Browns. In a championship game, to the surprise and dismay of everyone, Rick actually got into the game and then provided what was arguably the worst single performance in the history of the NFL. Overnight, he became a national laughingstock and, of course, was immediately cut by the Browns and shunned by all other teams. But against enormous odds, Arnie finally locates another team that will have him: the mighty Panthers of Parma, Italy.
