Story4.5 out of 5 stars 558
The moment Navy SEAL sniper Finn sets foot on the USS Abraham Lincolnto hitch a ride home from the Persian Gulf, it’s clear something is deeply wrong. Leadership is weak. Morale is low. And when crew members start disappearing one by one, what at first seems like a random string of suicides soon reveals something far more sinister: There’s a serial killer on board. Suspicion falls on Finn, the newcomer to the ship. After all, he’s being sent home in disgrace, recalled from the field under the dark cloud of a mission gone horribly wrong.

The Narrator Fails the Source Material
Reviewed: 06-03-25
After multiple attempts, I cannot complete this book. The monotonous narration ruins an otherwise interesting story. The story is engaging enough that I might go as far as actually reading the Kindle or paperback version.

Another Atlanta Murder Squad case that keeps listeners guessing. Chance Meridian’s personal and professional life propels each novel in unexpected directions. The thoughts and discussion at the end of this novel provide more than a fictional conclusion. They provide hope.

Mr. Youngblood takes listeners inside the Secret Service during his twenty years as an agent. The narration and stories are eye-opening and provide a better understanding of the men occupying the Oval Office. Get an inside view of the Eisenhower, Truman, Kennedy, LBJ, and Nixon administrations as told by their protection details.

Great Story
Reviewed: 10-11-24
Mr. Gatward, the author of the Harry Grimm series, leaves the Dales with DC Gordie Haig from Harry’s team. Taking a position in a new place without the love of her life proves challenging, and her first case causes her to hit the ground running. As she becomes familiar with her new team, and community, she copes with loss, and more. Another great story from Dave, but the narration made the tale a challenging listening. I felt like there were moments when I could not hear clearly because of the narrator’s voice.

Two novels into "Whitby's Forgotten Victims" series by Wes Markin, and I cannot wait for more. Already a fan of Markin's other series, I thought I knew what to expect. I could not have imagined the emotional reaction I experienced in "Forgotten Lives." DCI Frank Black is a man battling a family crisis that informs his attitudes concerning his cases while building a genuine team. Aubrey Parsons brilliantly brings the text alive. I love his narration!

Could Be an Exceptional Series!
Reviewed: 09-23-24
Brian Freeman is an author whose Jonathan Stride and Cab Bolton works made me an Audible fan. He writes excellent mysteries with intriguing, well-formed characters. Break Every Rule continues this and reminds me of the X Series (Evan Smoak), especially with the magnificent Scott Brick narrating the action. The antagonist brings to mind the vileness of Jeffrey Epstein/Gislaine Maxwell, which propels the plot forward. The ending suggests a possible return to Tiger’s life and family beyond Break Every Rule. Count me in.

Following a convention in the Scottish Highlands, eight social media influencers vanish without a trace, leaving their followers–and families–in a state of shock, and the police clueless as to their whereabouts. And then, the livestreams begin. Broadcast live from their squalid underground cells, the young influencers are forced into a sadistic battle for survival. With each livestream, their captor pits them against each other in a twisted competition for likes. The influencer with the fewest positive reactions faces a gruesome end–live on camera.

The author’s research is impeccable and the narration is done well. The major events are not revelatory if you watched any number of documentaries done on this family, but the author dives into family history and provides crime details that are hard to hear.
