I was unable to finish this book. The loud cackling laugh the narrator used spoiled the whole mood. Every time she used it I cringed.

The circus arrives without warning. No announcements precede it. It is simply there, when yesterday it was not. Within the black-and-white striped canvas tents is an utterly unique experience full of breathtaking amazements. It is called Le Cirque des Rêves, and it is only open at night. But behind the scenes, a fierce competition is underway - a duel between two young magicians, Celia and Marco, who have been trained since childhood expressly for this purpose by their mercurial instructors.

The sound is so “tinny” it is hard to listen to. It is not the narrator it is the way it has been recorded

Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World

Story4 out of 5 stars 1,454
Information is everything in "Hard-Boiled Wonderland". A specialist encrypter is attacked by thugs with orders from an unknown source, is chased by invisible predators, and dates an insatiably hungry librarian who never puts on weight. In "The End of the World" a new arrival is learning his role as dream-reader. But there is something eerily disquieting about the changeless nature of the town and its fable-like inhabitants. Told in alternate chapters, the two stories converge and combine.

What did you love best about The Concrete Blonde: Harry Bosch Series, Book 3?
I loved the Narrator! He made the book come to life and I will look for books narrated by Dick Hill for my next purchase.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Detective Boch who is the main character and drives the story line. He seemed real with good and bad faults.
What about Dick Hill’s performance did you like?
He is amazing and made this book much more than it would have been had I been reading as opposed to listening. His pacing and clear voice and professionalism has spoiled me for other narrators. I just started listening to Scott Brick narrating the Doll Maker and had to fight dissappointment as he is not nearly as good.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
funny but it would be the Doll Maker.
Any additional comments?
I enjoy audible thank you for the nice selection of books you offer.

Published posthumously in 1964, A Moveable Feast remains one of Ernest Hemingway's most beloved works. It is his classic memoir of Paris in the 1920s, filled with irreverent portraits of other expatriate luminaries such as F. Scott Fitzgerald and Gertrude Stein; tender memories of his first wife, Hadley; and insightful recollections of his own early experiments with his craft.

LAPD cop Scott James is not doing so well, not since a shocking nighttime assault by unidentified men killed his partner, Stephanie, nearly killed him, and left him enraged, ashamed, and ready to explode. He is unfit for duty - until he meets his new partner. Maggie is not doing so well, either. The German shepherd survived three tours in Iraq and Afghanistan sniffing explosives before she lost her handler to an IED and sniper attack, and her PTSD is as bad as Scott’s. They are each other’s last chance.

Victoria McQueen has an uncanny knack for finding things: a misplaced bracelet, a missing photograph, answers to unanswerable questions. When she rides her bicycle over the rickety old covered bridge in the woods near her house, she always emerges in the places she needs to be. Vic doesn't tell anyone about her unusual ability, because she knows no one will believe her. She has trouble understanding it herself.
