On the evening of November 24, 1971, D. B. Cooper hijacked Flight 305—Portland to Seattle—with a fake bomb, collected a ransom of $200,000, and then parachuted from the rear of the plane, disappearing into the night...and into history. Fifty years later, Agent Pendergast takes on a bizarre and gruesome case: in the ghost-haunted city of Savannah, Georgia, bodies are found with no blood left in their veins—sowing panic and reviving whispered tales of the infamous Savannah Vampire.

Sadly, Audiobook Pendergast Is Gone

Very good story but poor narration
Reviewed: 08-28-21
I know use of different narrators is a necessity with a series as long as this one but William DeMeritt did a poor job his first time out. He needs a lot of practice doing female voices or should maybe consider only narrating novels with male characters.His Constance Green was abysmal and she sounded more like an old man. Why he wasn't required to listen to Jefferson Mays' excellent performance in Crooked River of Constance and at least try to come close to it is beyond me. Finally, he needs to work on his voice modulation because he really overdid the volume level of certain characters in many places. It was almost as if he thought shouting would make up for a poor performance.
I enjoyed the story even though some of the plot was a bit over the top even for a Pendergast novel. I'm a huge fan of this character and series and hope a better narrator will be used for the next one.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 471
Just hours after the harrowing events of The Never Game and The Goodbye Man, Colter Shaw finds himself in San Francisco, where he has taken on the mission his father began years ago: finding a missing courier bag containing evidence that will bring down a corporate espionage firm responsible for hundreds, perhaps thousands, of deaths. Following the enigmatic clues his father left behind, Shaw plays cat and mouse with the company's sadistic enforcers, as he speeds from one gritty neighborhood in the City by the Bay to another.

Colter Shaw series not doing it for me
Reviewed: 07-30-21
I've been a huge fan of Jeffery Deaver's past books including the Lincoln Rhyme series and his standalone novels. However, his Colter Shaw series are just not as good as his past work. I don't care for how he begins each one well into a reward search then jumps around in time to work back to the beginning. I could deal with that if the writing and story was as good as his past work but it just isn't.

The Incredibly Inaccurate Biography of Andy Richter

Story4 out of 5 stars 184
Jam-packed with misinformation, outright lies, and probable slander, The Incredibly Inaccurate Biography of Andy Richter is totally - and tonally - wrong. A “lie-ography,” if you will, manufactured by some of America’s funniest and most ignorant writers, each working independently of the others, all following one guiding principle: a mutual disregard for the truth. And a mutual disdain for Andy.

The reason people in my neighborhood think I'm insane

Have never laughed so hard at an audiobook

What excellent and hilarious writing. Nick Offerman's narration is superlative and I've always been a fan of Andy Richter who is the perfect subject for such a book.

Evocative and brimming with redemption, Mary Akers' newest collection Bones of an Inland Sea takes the reader on a journey of exploration and transformation that begins with a 19th century shipwreck, passes through Bikini Atoll's atomic testing, sinks into the heart of a devastating tsunami, and slides forward into a futurist island utopia floating in the Sargasso Sea.

I very much enjoyed these stories which examine human relations with a nautical theme. Be aware when reading that many characters recur throughout the various stories. The narration by Erin Jones is outstanding.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 26,140
A masterful, intensely suspenseful novel about a reader whose obsession with a reclusive writer goes far too far - a book about the power of storytelling, starring the same trio of unlikely and winning heroes King introduced in Mr. Mercedes. "Wake up, genius." So begins King's instantly riveting story about a vengeful reader. The genius is John Rothstein, an iconic author who created a famous character, Jimmy Gold, but who hasn't published a book for decades.

Stephen King at the top of his game
Reviewed: 06-07-15
This book was excellent and I can't wait for part three of the series. King brought his A game and I'm enjoying his last few books as much as I enjoyed those he wrote in the 1980s.
