With precision and authority, R.C. Bray narrates this intense, haunting story about human kindness and barbarities in the majestic setting of Glacier National Park. Ted Systead is a special agent for the U.S. Department of the Interior who is investigating the death of meth addict Victor Lance. Carbo describes the great beauty of Glacier in such detail that listeners will smell and feel the crisp mountain air and visualize the power and brutality of nature, especially the grizzlies, which are portrayed as awe-inspiring, intelligent, and solitary animals. Bray maintains a consistent pace and fluid expressiveness with the fast-moving plot and well-crafted characters,. Some of the scenes of animal cruelty are difficult to hear, but listeners will enjoy the total experience.

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.
