    Kayleigh Towne is gorgeous with a voice that is taking her to the heights of the country pop charts. Her hit single "Your Shadow" puts her happily in the spotlight, until an innocent exchange with one of her fans leads Kayleigh into a dark and terrifying realm. The fan warns, "I'm coming for you," and soon accidents happen and people close to Kayleigh die. Special Agent Kathryn Dance must use her considerable skills at investigation and body language analysis to stop the stalker.

    What did you love best about XO?

    Det. Dance of course. But the twist and turns, not just in the plot but in Dance's personal life. Bringing Rhyme into it, FABULOUS!


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

    OH YEA! Deaver brought in more than one crime and more than one criminal. Great!


    Which scene was your favorite?

    Chief detective Magdlene(sp) and Dance eating ice cream.


    Any additional comments?

    A great Dance series. I hope Deaver changes Dance's love life. Also I hope another series is coming soon. Thanks to Deaver and to Audible.

    Assistant D.A. Alexandra Cooper is deeply involved in a high-profile homicide case against defendant Brendan Quillian, a prominent young businessman charged with the brutal strangulation of his beautiful young wife. His conviction is not a certainty: Quillian was conveniently out of town on the day of the killing, and his defense attorney seems to be one step ahead of Cooper's effort to prove Quillian paid a hit man to commit the crime. But halfway through the trial, a major catastrophe alters the course of Cooper's case.

    Would you consider the audio edition of Swan Song to be better than the print version?

    The audio is better than the print. Swan Song is very emotional. Listening to the audiobook, you are drawn into those emotions. You seem to feel what they are feeling.


    What did you like best about this story?

    The love.


    What does Tom Stechschulte bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

    For me, he delivered the emotions of Swan Song to the listeners. As the author intended I believe.


    Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

    Yes once I started I wanted to keep on going. This is another one I will listen to again.

    No this was the first and he was great.


    Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

    Back on the job after an involuntary leave of absence, LAPD homicide detective Harry Bosch is ready for a challenge. But his first case is a little more than he bargained for. It starts with the body of a Hollywood producer in the trunk of a Rolls-Royce, shot twice in the head at close range - what looks like "trunk music", a Mafia hit.

    When you're the best at what you do, it's not always easy to walk away. Nathan McBride was retired. The trained Marine sniper and cover CIA operative had put the violence of his former life behind him. But not anymore. A deep-cover FBI agent has disappeared along with one ton of powerful Semtex explosive, enough to unleash a disaster of international proportions. The U.S. government has no choice but to coax Nathan out of retirement.

    Given the importance of what they do, and the controversies that often surround them, and the violent people they sometimes confront, it is remarkable that in the history of this country only four active federal judges have been murdered. Judge Raymond Fawcett has just become number five.... Nothing is as it seems and everything’s fair game in this wickedly clever new novel from John Grisham, the undisputed master of the legal thriller.

    For months, Mitch Rapp has been steadily working his way through a list of men, bullet by bullet. With each kill, the tangled network of monsters responsible for the slaughter of 270 civilians becomes increasingly clear. He is given his next target: a plump Libyan diplomat who is prone to drink and is currently in Paris without a single bodyguard. Rapp finds him completely unprotected and asleep in his bed. With confidence in his well-honed skills and conviction of the man’s guilt, he easily sends a bullet into the man’s skull. But in the split second it takes the bullet to leave the silenced pistol, everything changes.
