About this listen
For fans of Cormac McCarthy, Jim Thompson, the Coen Brothers, and Lost
Imagine a place populated by criminals - people plucked from their lives, with their memories altered, who've been granted new identities and a second chance. Welcome to The Blinds, a dusty town in rural Texas populated by misfits who don't know if they've perpetrated a crime or just witnessed one. What's clear to them is that if they leave, they will end up dead.
For eight years Sheriff Calvin Cooper has kept an uneasy peace - but after a suicide and a murder in quick succession, the town's residents revolt. Cooper has his own secrets to protect, so when his new deputy starts digging, he needs to keep one step ahead of her - and the mysterious outsiders who threaten to tear the whole place down. The more he learns, the more the hard truth is revealed: The Blinds is no sleepy hideaway. It's simmering with violence and deception, aching heartbreak, and dark betrayals.

Seven years after first contact, Providence Five launches. It is an enormous and deadly warship, built to protect humanity from its greatest ever threat. On board is a crew of just four - tasked with monitoring the ship and reporting the war's progress to a mesmerized global audience by way of social media. But while pursuing the enemy across space, Gilly, Talia, Anders, and Jackson confront the unthinkable: Their communications are cut, their ship decreasingly trustworthy and effective. To survive, they must win a fight that is suddenly and terrifyingly real.

Except Tom just can't seem to find his place in this dazzling, idealistic world, and that's before his life gets turned upside down.

Tim Hess is a semiretired veteran cop staring at a death sentence - his own. Detective Merci Rayborn, young enough to be his daughter, is brash, impatient, and not someone from whom Hess wants to be taking orders. He certainly isn't planning on falling in love with her. Together, they must track down a psychopathic killer who's been abducting beautiful young women from the malls of Orange County.

In the northern California town of Coventry, two teenage brothers go into the woods one day, but only one comes back. No one knows what happened to the younger brother, Josh, until 20 years later, when the older brother, Oren, now an ex-investigator for the Army CID, returns to Coventry for the first time in many years. His first morning back, he hears a thump on the front porch. Lying in front of the door is a human jawbone, the teeth still intact. And it is not the first such object, his father tells him.

If you've never read a Repairman Jack novel, this is the place to begin. It's 1990. A twenty-one-year-old named Jack has dropped out of college, leaving his old life behind to build a new one in New York City. Manhattan's rough edges are jagged enough to shred any unwary newcomer, but perhaps not one who is determined to stay off the grid, at any cost, in the busiest metropolis on earth. And to do so, he'll have to take jobs of a less than legal nature.

Messing with Minds
Residents come to the sparse and featureless town known as The Blinds in the remote Texas desert, most of them with a horrific criminal past. But with the help of a somewhat shadowy "Institute," their memories have been erased.
It’s better than the Witness Protection Program, where criminals have been known to use their newfound anonymity to commit new crimes. The Blinds “offers the ultimate alternative. Not even you know who you are, or what you’ve done. If you want to keep a secret, you must also hide it from yourself.”
Upon arrival, they choose a new name. They are given a list of famous movie stars and another of ex-vice presidents, and pick a first and last name, one from each list.
With this strange and creative premise, Sternbergh steadily reveals more, and the mystery deepens rather than being solved. There are endless surprises, layer upon layer of them, as the population of The Blinds and their tangled pasts are revealed to be a jumble of unexpected relationships and secret agendas.
The scenario gives him a copious cast of characters to work with – characters with names such as Lyndon Lancaster, Orson Calhoun, and Ginger Van Buren. It’s a wild ride, messing with the minds of the residents – and ours. Stephen Mendel provides an expressive read.
I only wish it weren’t written in the present tense. It seems awkward.

What a find!
Great yarn! After ten years and hundreds of stories, I was beginning to think there were no more good books to be found here on Audible. It's so good to be proven wrong.

Good
Better than I expected. The narrator isn’t bad, sometimes sounds like John Wayne but not in a bad way. Overall I say it was pretty good book.

Ok book, bad narrator
I thought the story was pretty good but it got a bit ruined by the flat robotic voice of the narrator. He’s one of those that tends to intonate every sentence the same no matter what it says so it often sounded like he didn’t understand what was happening in the story.

Could have been better…
An interesting premise, with so much potential …. But I ended up disappointed. Let me first congratulate the author on coming up with an original story. Most people reading this review are avid readers and can probably attest that nowadays many books are variations on something already done. The idea of a town full of people who are either murderers or innocent witnesses was enough to peak my interest, however the execution of the story had me losing interest midway through. First, there were a lot of people to keep track of, and second, it took much longer than necessary to tell the story.
Overall I give this a 3, but it could have been a 4.

On the edge of my seat
I chose to listen to this story for my one hour walk early morning Thought it would be a good listen over a week or so Second day finished my walk but couldnt shut the story so listened all day A satisfying story with a good dose of twists and turns
