    While mapping the ancient underwater city of Marinth in the Atlantic Ocean, submersible designer Hannah Bryson makes a shocking discovery: she may have finally uncovered the truth about the once-glorious city’s mysterious demise. Long ago it was a thriving metropolis bursting with culture and life – Marinth’s sudden disappearance has plagued scientists for years.

    This book was just uninteresting and I found it to be poorly written, the characters were shallow and the story bored me.

    Why we think it’s a great listen: When it comes to author/narrator pairings, nobody tops James Lee Burke and Will Patton in the Robicheaux thrillers. Beloved Burke hero Detective Dave Robicheaux here returns to New Iberia to solve a series of grisly murders. Seven young women in neighboring Jefferson Davis Parish have been brutally murdered. While the crimes have all the telltale signs of a serial killer, the death of Bernadette Latiolais, a high-school honor student, doesn’t fit.

    I have always enjoyed the James Lee Burke's Roicheaux novels, this one continues to please.
    My only complaint was that it seemed to end a bit abruptly for my taste. I hope that means another book will be following soon. :-)

    Sherlock Holmes is the greatest detective in literary history. For the first time since the death of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, a new Holmes story has been sanctioned by his estate, whetting the appetites of fans everywhere. Information about the book will be revealed as deliberately as Holmes himself would unravel a knotty case, but bestselling novelist and Holmes expert Anthony Horowitz is sure to bring a compelling, atmospheric story to life.

    Story

    I am a big fan of Sherlock Holmes. Of course I love Conan Doyle's originals, but I am also a big fan of Laurie R. Kings stories featuring the great detective and Mary Russell. I am always looking for more Sherlock holmes and this book did not disappoint!
    At 1st I found the narrator's voice for Holmes a bit strange , but I grew used to it quickly, and found myself immersed in the world of Holmes and Watson.
    Highly recommended.

    An obscure museum's dead proprietor lies in a secret room surrounded by one of the world's most astonishing collections of Greek antiquities. Only a priceless Mycenaean death mask has been taken, along with the bones of a legendary hero thought to exist only in ancient myth. Looted by the Nazis, the treasures are still being sought by those whose dreams of glory remain undefeated.The mask is an unparalleled discovery that will be a force for devastating retribution in the wrong hands. But by the time museum curator Deborah Miller learns the truth, it may be too late....

    What did you like best about The Mask of Atreus? What did you like least?

    The historical aspects of the story were interesting, but I left like the writting left something to be desired.


    Was The Mask of Atreus worth the listening time?

    well, I listened to the end, but in hindsight I think I could have spent my credit more wisely.

    Barcelona, 1945: Just after the war, a great world city lies in shadow, nursing its wounds, and a boy named Daniel awakes on his 11th birthday to find that he can no longer remember his mother's face. To console his only child, Daniel's widowed father, an antiquarian book dealer, initiates him into the secret of the Cemetery of Forgotten Books, a library tended by Barcelona's guild of rare-book dealers as a repository for books forgotten by the world, waiting for someone who will care about them again.

    This book was wonderful, I didn't want it to end. This is the second Zafon book I've read/listened to, I am looking forward to his next work.
