In his latest adventure, the Nameless Detective takes on Kay Runyon as a client. Kay wants to discover the identity of the "mystery woman" her husband is obsessed with. The case turns into a search for Nedra Merchant as well as a search into her past, which is filled with men similarly obsessed. A production that defines "fully voiced," Demons is a classic of the genre and a classic audiobook. Jerry Longe changes his voice so effectively that it's sometimes hard to believe that there's only one reader. The entire performance flawlessly evokes Nameless: a man obsessed with his work, with his own code of honor, who does not always fit into today's world. This audiobook is essential for any collection or fan of mystery fiction.

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.
