Publisher's summary

The early Anita Blake novels find new life in trade paperback-as perfect collectibles for long-time fans or as great ways for new readers to sink their teeth into the series.

In The Laughing Corpse, a creature from beyond the grave is tearing a swath of murder through St. Louis. And Anita will learn that there are some secrets better left buried-and some people better off dead...

Love in vein: listen to more tales of Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter.

Suspenseful

The narrator is great. She makes an early drive to work enjoyable.

Awesome

The performance of the book was amazing and of course the detail and depth of the storyline pulls you in! I was a little disappointed with the ending, not sure what I was expecting but it was a little blah. But overall I loved it!

It's abridged. Duh...

I'm assuming people aren't reading the description of the book because it's Audible and most of us obviously don't like to read, we like to listen. I find it very annoying that there are people who have reviewed this book complaining it's not the full book when it obviously says abridged underneath the description of the book.

Stop wasting your money and read the description of the things you plan to purchase!

if you want the full book there's an entire list of those. You just have to read and look for it something I'm assuming most of the complainers are not accustomed to.

The book was great. I've listened to almost every book in the series and I'm re-listening them to catch things I didn't hear before!
