This is a gripping drama, well written and performed.
In a sea of novels about local cops and federal crime busters, this audiobook stands out. It explores the world of a game warden in rural Montana who gets involved with a criminal investigation with tragic results, ultimately leaving his family to solve the mystery. Narrator David Chandler ably guides listeners through the tale as rugged lawman Joe Pickett becomes the victim and his wife, Marybeth, and their formidable daughters, Sheridan, April, and Lucy, are left to bring his attackers to justice. Chandler brings the daughters to vivid life, giving each one a distinctive voice as they pursue justice in very different ways.

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.
