In L.A., Cassie Black is another beautiful woman in a Porsche: except Cassie just did six years in prison and still has "outlaw juice" flowing in her veins. Now Cassie is returning to her old profession, taking down a money man in Vegas.

A little different from the normal Connelly. But a classic. It is a crime thriller which reminded me a lot of James Hadley Chase. Prefect thrills. No disappointments! edge of the seat 70% of the time. Go ahead and choose this one.

No names. No Feds. No trace evidence. That's how Jonathan Grave operates. As a freelance specialist in covert rescues, he has to work outside the law to get things done - especially in highly sensitive hostage situations. But when an Indiana college student is abducted, and Jonathan's meticulous plan explodes into a deadly shooting spree, the local authorities are out for blood - and they're not alone. Someone wants to control a devastating secret...Someone rich and powerful.

"Action thriller. No Plot"

Overall
Performance
Story

A Mediocre plot. Well described action. Not a book that will make you skip a TV show to listen but also not a one that you will give up.
If you like the sound of guns in a book you can choose this one. If you like mystery, thrill of suspense. Skip this.

If you have read Michael Connelly before, this is easy. This is as good as it can get. Real Joy. Choose it without hesitation. If you are new to Connelly, do not worry too much. Choose it. It is an awesome thriller. It is an Harry Bosch book!

One chilly morning a man throws himself off a Great Lakes ferry. An apparent suicide, the body is never found. Five years later, we learn that the man had faked his own death. An accountant who had become unwittingly mixed up in a criminal conspiracy, he was being threatened by a ruthless mobster: tell us where the money is or we'll kill your wife and eight-year-old daughter. If he'd been able to hand over the money, he would have done it in a heartbeat.

There is a mistake here. This book is a about a young girl who disappears and her fathers hunt for her. Quite a thriller. Very good characters. Father is a car salesman. The summary that appears on the Audible site seems to be for some other book! Audible can remove this review if they fix the problem!

In his final hours in the Oval Office the President grants a controversial last minute pardon to Joel Backman, a notorious power broker who has spent the last six years in a federal prison. The President issues the pardon only after receiving pressure from the CIA. It seems that in his broker heyday, Backman may have obtained secrets that compromise the world's surveillance.

The Mahabharata is the story of five brothers - some of the most glorious heroes ever known. They are children of the gods, and they have incredible powers. They also have the most lethal enemies. The Pandavas' lives are full of mystery and wonder. This was a mythical time when the gods themselves walked on the earth. Even a feeble old monkey lying on a path could turn out to be one of the immortals.

Story

To be downloaded only if you have some basic understanding of Mahabharata. Make a list of characters and their roles which is the last chapter or from wikipedia before you embark on this adventure. And one has to remember this in the abridged Mahabharata. It will just give you an overview of the world longest poetry. Avoid this if you do not want to take some strain in listening. This book is not for relaxing and enjoying.

In this novel from number-one New York Times-best-selling author J. D. Robb, the newly promoted captain of the NYPSD and his wife return a day early from their vacation, looking forward to spending time with their bright and vivacious 16-year-old daughter, who stayed behind. Not even their worst nightmares could have prepared them for the crime scene that awaits them inside.

My mistake. I got misguided by the 4.19 rating from other readers. This a police procedural story. Limited twist, limited turns, no u turns....mainly a single track book with very less traffic! I will not read or listen to Robb again.

Andy Carpenter gains possession of an adorable Bernese puppy whose owner was brutally murdered. Few can rival Andy's affection for dogs, and he will do whatever it takes to insure that this little pup doesn't fall into the wrong hands. However, his playful new friend is valued by several people, many of whom are willing to resort to violence to get what they want.It will take more than Andy's usual courtroom theatrics to save this dog, including a little help from his beloved Golden Retriever, Tara.
