    An innocent man is about to be executed. Only a guilty man can save him. Travis Boyette is such a man. In 1998, in the small East Texas city of Sloan, he abducted, raped, and strangled a popular high-school cheerleader. He buried her body so that it would never be found, then watched in amazement as police and prosecutors arrested and convicted Donté Drumm, a local football star, and marched him off to death row.

    This was the best Grisham book since The Client. He hasn't written a book this good in 10 years. I couldn't stop listening.

    Darcy Rhone thought she had it all figured out: the more beautiful the girl, the more charmed her life. Never mind substance. Never mind playing by the rules. Never mind karma.But Darcy’s neat, perfect world turns upside down when her best friend, Rachel, the plain-Jane “good girl,” steals her fiancé, while Darcy finds herself completely alone for the first time in her life… with a baby on the way.

    The reviews are right. The lead is vapid and annoying. Just when I thought I couldn't stand it anymore, the story gets fantastic. Great twists.

    Story

    I always finish audiobooks. I had to stop this one. I'm sure it's a great book, but as an audiobook it just has too many characters. It jumps around a lot and it's hard to keep up.

    Even today, almost five decades after John F. Kennedy was slain, the public continues to be captivated by the "Kennedy Curse" and new theories about what really happened on that fateful day in 1963. For nearly 50 years former Secret Service agent Clint Hill has lived with the unimaginable guilt of losing a president on his watch and has obeyed an honor code of silence, refusing to contribute to any books about the assassination. Until now.

    Story

    It is wierd that this book is an autobiography but is written in the 3rd person. It makes the characters difficult to keep track of. Too many of the agents have similar names and the stories are disjointed. I don't think I'm going to be able to finish what could be a very fascinating book. Right now, I'm almost through part 1 and we aren't event in Dallas yet.

    When it comes to the holidays, no story brings us back to the true spirit of giving like O. Henry’s classic "The Gift of the Magi". So this year we’ve asked some of your favorite Audible narrators—Audie Award winners Katherine Kellgren, Oliver Wyman, and Jonathan Davis—to bring to life this timeless tale, plus two more of O. Henry’s gems: "The Cop and the Anthem" and "The Last Leaf", in this holiday collection.
