Story4.5 out of 5 stars 18
No longer a chief inspector, Chen Cao finds himself as director of the Shanghai Judicial System Reform Office. To outsiders, it’s a promotion, but Chen knows he’s being removed from the spotlight as he’s immediately placed on involuntary "convalescence leave" to stop him interfering with any cases. However, with various high-profile crimes making headlines and fears escalating over vigilante reprisals, Chen’s superiors know he must at least appear active.

Ms. Hutchinson’s live testimony before the January 6th Committee was riveting, but listening to her voice, tell her story is an experience well worth having.

Sally Milz is a sketch writer for The Night Owls, a late-night live comedy show that airs every Saturday. With a couple of heartbreaks under her belt, she’s long abandoned the search for love, settling instead for the occasional hook-up, career success, and a close relationship with her stepfather to round out a satisfying life. But when Sally’s friend and fellow writer Danny Horst begins dating Annabel, a glamorous actress who guest-hosted the show, he joins the not-so-exclusive group of talented but average-looking and even dorky men at the show.

I’m curious what reading the book will be like. Just now, though, all I want is to remember your voice, flawlessly playing every part.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 587
In You Can’t Joke About That, Kat Timpf shows why much of the way we talk about sensitive subjects is wrong. We’ve created all the wrong rules. We push ourselves into unnecessary conflicts when we should feel like we’re all in this together. When someone says “you can’t joke about that,” what they really mean is “this is a subject that makes people sad or angry.”

Listening to this amazing comedian is a wonderful, enjoyable, educational and liberating experience. Yes, Kay Timph is a gifted comedian. In the process of performing as a comedian, she also teaches liberating lessons about humor, honesty, trauma and grief in confronting challenges in one’s own life as well as in the lives of loved ones and others. Can’t recommend listening to her book highly enough.

Renée Ballard works the night shift in Hollywood, beginning many investigations but finishing none, as each morning she turns her cases over to day shift detectives. A once up-and-coming detective, she's been given this beat as punishment after filing a sexual harassment complaint against a supervisor. But one night she catches two cases she doesn't want to part with: the brutal beating of a prostitute left for dead in a parking lot and the killing of a young woman in a nightclub shooting. Ballard is determined not to give up at dawn.

Narrator brought Renee Ballard to life
Reviewed: 11-25-22
At first I didn’t know what to make of Ms Moennig’s narration, but the more I listened to her portrayal of Ballard the more I liked it. By the end I was hoping for another Renee Ballard book narrated by Ms Moennig. “Her” Ballard fit my sense of what Connolly’s Ballard is, namely a strong, very smart, focused, independent, resilient woman who is a great detective, despite working in a hostile institution environment. I’m hoping for more Renee Ballard books my Michael Connelly narrated by Katherine Moennig.

What happens when the President of the United States governs one Tweet at a time? When the elected leader of the free world may not have a firm grasp on the names of government agencies, much less an understanding of their intricate inner-workings? In the days following the 2016 inauguration, government personnel searched for answers that didn’t exist, while White House staff scoured halls for employees who would never be appointed.

Looking at the federal government in a different way
Reviewed: 10-21-19
The Fifth Risk invites the reader to think about the federal government in an - for me - entirely new way, namely as a manager of an almost unimaginable number of risks; everything from nuclear energy to the number of chickens in a kill line to vital aid to rural America to nutrition in school lunches and on and on and on. One comes away feeling profound respect for the many super-talented people, career government officials who help manage the seemingly endless risks the country faces every day. The author, Michael Lewis, is a gifted writer and storyteller. Should be required reading in every high school, college and university and for everyone who wants to be an informed citizen. It is a fascinating book.
