Sendhil Ramamurthy expertly narrates the first audiobook in the author's humorous trilogy about a former teacher turned private investigator with a special skill--he sees gods. Ravi Chandra Singh works for Golden Sentinels, a prestigious London PI agency, discretely handling cases for the rich and famous. Ramamurthy nails Ravi's idiosyncratic colleagues and family members, adding to their likability. His range of dialects and attitudes contributes to an authentic atmosphere, gods and all, while bringing out the humor and intelligence of Tantimedh's work. This is an engaging story performed by a charismatic artist who epitomizes great audiobook entertainment.

Novelist Benet Archdale and housemaid Carol Stratford are two young, single parents who have no reason to know each other. They become tangled in a nightmarish spiral of kidnap, fraud, family violence and death. Ruth Rendell creates psychological suspense in thrillers that are compulsively readable or, in this case, listenable. British actress Imelda Staunton's reading is perfectly paced, and the characters are well defined. You'll have a hard time turning it off.

Emerson and Peabody are at it again! Uncovering antiquities takes a back-seat as the romantic archaeologists track down the master criminal who is stealing Egypt's ancient treasures. With the help of their precocious son, Ramses, the intrepid pair unravel this mystery in crowded bazaars, desert camps and the heart of the Black Pyramid. Barbara Rosenblat's reading fully measures up to the tale. She is a master of timing and nuance. Rosenblat's power for character interpretation has grown with each book in this amusing series. This is the best one yet.
