    The Summons: Once Judge Atlee was a powerful figure in Clanton, Mississippi. Now the judge is a sick, lonely old man who has withdrawn to his sprawling ancestral home. Knowing the end is near, Judge Atlee has issued a summons for his two sons to return to Clanton to discuss his estate. The Brethren: They call themselves the Brethren: three disgraced former judges doing time in a Florida federal prison. In prison these judges-turned-felons can reminisce about old court cases, dispense a little jailhouse justice, and contemplate where their lives went wrong. Or they can use their time in prison to get very rich, very fast.

    What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

    The stories we ok the endings were bad. The bad guys come out the winner in both books.
    They are just no fun. It's like watching the 10 oclock news


    Would you ever listen to anything by John Grisham again?

    It's been years and years sine I read one of Grisham's book now I remember why.


    What does Frank Muller and Michael Beck bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

    The narrators were great. If not for them I would not have finished either book


    What character would you cut from The Summons & The Brethren?

    The characters were all great. The end of books was a major dissapointment

    Once a devoted children's librarian, Jane Jameson now works at a rundown occult bookstore. Once a regular gal, she's now a vampire. And instead of a bride, she's an eternal bridesmaid -- which leads her to question where exactly her relationship with her irresistibly sexy sire, Gabriel, is headed. Mercurial, enigmatic, apparently commitment-phobic vampires are nothing if not hard to read.

    What would have made Nice Girls Don't Date Dead Men better?

    A story with some surprise, I would have been great for my 12 yr old daughter
    if they would have left out the steamy sex.


    Would you ever listen to anything by Molly Harper again?

    Don't think so. At least not in this series. I have listened to one other book from this series
    it was ok ther was a story line with some mystery. I was only 6.95 as was this one. this one was not even worth 6.95 and I sure would not use a credit on it.


    What didn’t you like about Amanda Ronconi’s performance?

    No problem with narrator. She was the best part of the book. I would not have made it as far in the book as I did if it were not for her


    If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Nice Girls Don't Date Dead Men?

    All of them.

    Haller is a Lincoln Lawyer, a criminal defense pro who operates out of the backseat of his Lincoln Town Car, to defend clients at the bottom of the legal food chain. It's no wonder that he is despised by cops, prosecutors, and even some of his own clients. But an investigator is murdered for getting too close to the truth and Haller quickly discovers that his search for innocence has taken him face to face with a kind of evil as pure as a flame.

    When the Lusitania sank, more than one 1,000 people died. One passenger, however, survived to become a changed man, giving up his life as a petty thief but keeping a small silver statue that would become a family heirloom to future generations. Now, nearly a century later, that heirloom, one of a priceless, long-separated set of three, has been snatched away from the Sullivans.

    Would you try another book from Nora Roberts and/or Bernadette Quigley?

    No, I have managed to wade through two other books by Nora Roberts. Did not enjoy them.Three Fates was my third try. I gave up after 45 mins of listining. No more Nora Roberts no matter how cheap they are.


    What do you think your next listen will be?

    Something of Connelly, Kellerman, Patterson, Child, Macdonald. They are always good.br/>


    What didn’t you like about Bernadette Quigley’s performance?

    Slow, boreing, sounds like she would like to be doing something else


    If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Three Fates?

    I listened to the first 45 mins of that book 3 times and can't remember a thing about it.
