The author himself narrates a fantasy-thriller that reunites a team of snipers, detectives, and assassins. Their job is to protect an attorney who is building a case against a wealthy child predator. The antiheroes have one thing in common: the determination to stop the cycle of abuse committed against children. As they confront retired assassins and political insiders, the team is outgunned but won't stop until they win. Eisler's story--with its colorful cast of characters, pulse-pounding action, and snappy dialogue--is fantastic in audio form. Fans of the first book will be delighted, and those who are unfamiliar will be pulled in by the audiobook's breakneck pacing and blockbuster movie feel.

C.J. Box writes about life in wild Wyoming, short stories of people living a rugged life by choice or by circumstance. David Chandler narrates in a rough-edged whiskey voice that suggests summer heat, bitter winters, and windswept prairies, guiding the listener through 10 adventures of men like Fish and Game Officer Joe Pickett. Chandler brings the listener into this strange world where, more often than not, men have to create their own justice. His performance of the economical stories, some rarely seen, is perfect. The tale of the frozen body of a Native American basketball player turned speed freak, her arm reaching through the ice of a lake in a final jump shot, is one of the most fascinating in the collection.

A fast-paced, emotional, and engaging must-listen.
This latest offering in the Alex Cross series will keep listeners riveted as Alex navigates a family crisis and tries to solve a series of brutal murders impacting the unhoused population in Washington, D.C. Dion Graham's narration perfectly balances the fast-paced cases that Alex and Sampson are investigating with the more emotional journey through Nana Mama's health crisis. As always, Graham believably distinguishes among a wide range of supporting characters—those tied both to the current cases and to the Cross family. Particularly memorable is Graham's depiction of Nana Mama's past as she recounts her memories and family history. As the case takes an unexpected turn, Alex must do all he can to stop a killer and support his beloved grandmother.
