About this listen
"We know who you are! Can your current bank say that? We pride ourselves on providing unparalleled service to all of our customers. We're looking forward to banking with you!"
In the small town of Montgomery, Arizona, Kyle Decker's book shop is barely breaking even. When a bank opens in the empty storefront next door, he hopes the new establishment will bring in more foot traffic. Trouble is, nobody has ever heard of the First People's Bank, and the local branch has appeared mysteriously overnight.
Their incentives for new customers seem reasonable...at first. But is it a coincidence when Kyle's wife has her identity stolen and his son receives emails that seem to know his private thoughts? Or when the manager of a competing financial institution dies a gruesome death?
Soon, if people in Montgomery, Arizona, want to buy a new car or home or if they need a small business loan, they have no choice but to work with the First People's Bank. As the bank makes increasingly bizarre demands on its customers, it becomes clear the town may be in too deep...and the penalty for an early withdrawal is too terrifying to imagine.
With his latest original novel, Bentley Little's dark, razor-sharp satire takes on the worst practices of our banking industry, and you'll never look at your loan officer the same way again.

Opulent doesn't begin to describe the Arizona getaway where Lowell Thurman, his wife Rachel, and their three young sons have come for one glorious week. Everything at The Reata is perfect - although Rachel is a bit unnerved by the openly lustful gaze of one of the gardeners, something she doesn't mention to Lowell. Nor does he tell her about the frightening sensation he has in the pool of hands clutching at him, trying to pull him under.

Her school records are gone. And there’s no evidence that Joan, or even her roommate, ever existed. Most disturbing of all is what they do find. Among Joan’s belongings is a prayer written on a small scroll. It’s a safeguard — and a warning — from something called The Outsiders. For Gary and his friends, it’s the only clue.

In addition to a token payment, Gaunt requests that each person perform a little "deed", usually a seemingly innocent prank played on someone else from town. These practical jokes cascade out of control, and soon the entire town is doing battle with itself. Only Sheriff Alan Pangborn suspects that Gaunt is behind the population's increasingly violent behavior.

It's been said that all great literature boils down to one of two stories—a man takes a journey, or a stranger comes to town. While mystery writers have been successfully using both approaches for generations, there's something undeniably alluring in the nature of a stranger: the uninvited guest, the unacquainted neighbor, the fish out of water. In the newest collection of stories by the Mystery Writers of America, each author weaves a fresh tale surrounding the eerie feeling that comes when a stranger enters our midst, featuring stories by prolific mystery writers.

What’s happening in Acker’s Gap, West Virginia? Three elderly men are gunned down over their coffee at a local diner, and seemingly half the town is there to witness the act. Still, it happened so fast, and no one seems to have gotten a good look at the shooter. Was it random? Was it connected to the spate of drug violence plaguing poor areas of the country just like Acker’s Gap? Or were Dean Streeter, Shorty McClurg, and Lee Rader targeted somehow?

Thomas Kilbride is a map-obsessed schizophrenic so affected that he rarely leaves the self-imposed bastion of his bedroom. But with a computer program called Whirl360.com, he travels the world while never so much as stepping out the door. He pores over and memorizes the streets of the world. He examines every address, as well as the people who are frozen in time on his computer screen. Then he sees something that anyone else might have stumbled upon - but has not - in a street view of downtown New York City: an image in a window. An image that looks like a woman being murdered.

Story
Springerville is famous for the legend of the Mongolian Monster. Of course nobody really believes it. It’s just a good campfire story, something to attract gullible tourists until an excavation team unearths the figurine of a screaming woman, the jawbone of a deformed animal, and a child’s toy. How odd that they were buried together. Odd, too, is the foul odor lingering in the air, the strange noises at night, and the man’s face found hanging from a tree. Now the locals are locking their doors. Because after sundown, campfire stories can seem very, very real.

Like at BLs books, this is another great one. I’m so used to David Stifle as the narrator for his books, I was actually surprised to find this narrator much better with voices and helping with character development! Amazingly told!!

This was a really good ,old fashioned horror story.Along the lines of Stephen Kings 'Needful Things',we get a bank showing up in a town fully formed.At first it is a gift from the gods.Be careful what you wish for. John Pirhaila was a fine narrator.

..again
I really wanted to like this story. After listening to one other book, I find this particular story to be repetitive and not original. I’m not an author and I have no talent for story telling. I do not like to give a negative review to any author, however, this story is similar to other stories this author has given us. I appreciate the attempt at suspense and terror but I don’t think I’ll be listening to another one of his stories.

Pretty sinister, poor ending
Good premise, good storyline, a few too many sexual references, but still a well structured tale. However, I was quite disappointed with the ending. I have many questions. Perhaps they will be answered in another book, but that does not help me now with this all too abrupt ending.

Besides The back ground hissing not bad.
I love Bentley Little"s work. The Resort and The Store being my favorites.ve listened to quite a few and have 3 in my queue. The Bank is good but not what I have have come to expect. It felt like it was rushed for the publisher. The story is really underwhelming and what rubs the salt in the wounds is an annoying hiss. This is the first time I have experienced such poor audible quality From audible.

We all need a helping hand occasionally
“Sometimes sacrifices have to be made to the god of money”
Bentley Little nailed this one.
Kyle owns a bookstore next to the new bank in town. This new bank seems to know more about people and their business than it should.
People start acting strange, and murders are becoming a common occurrence in this small town. Things are out of control.
This is Needful Things with a bank instead of a retail store.
“Don’t worry, the banker grinned. People will send their thoughts and prayers and that always solves the problem”
