Narrator George Guidall performs Book 17 in the Sheriff Walt Longmire series with all of his masterful storytelling talent on display. The sheriff and his partner-in-justice, Henry Standing Bear, are requested by Tribal Police Chief Lola Long to investigate death threats being sent to her niece, Jaya, a talented high school basketball player. They also look into the earlier disappearance of Jaya's older sister. The story draws listeners' attention to the real-life tragedy of missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls. Guidall's expertise shines as the story jumps back and forth between an intense basketball game and Longmire's interrogation of a suspect. Guidall's deep voice also lures listeners into a mystical subplot woven throughout. A standout in the series for story and performance.

A master crime writer is paired with a narrator at the top of his game.
Narrator Will Damron returns to masterfully deliver this second installment of the Catalina series. As the audiobook kicks off, listeners are immediately drawn into a supposed smuggling drop at a remote airport in the Catalina hills. After the fallout from the airport operation, Detective Sergeant Stilwell, frustrated to be sidelined, focuses on a cold case that has him partnering with a crossover character from Connelly's other series, detective Renée Ballard. Fans will be delighted by the cameo appearance of Harry Bosch. Damron expertly differentiates the many characters, male and female, and powerfully ratchets up the tension.

Listeners will be convinced that they’re listening to a full-cast performance.
Narrator January LaVoy is truly a vocal shape-shifter. She skillfully voices female and male characters of all ages and ethnicities in this thriller. A man desperately searching for his teenage daughter approaches journalist Cindy Thomas to enlist her help. Meanwhile, detective Lindsay Boxer is investigating the recent murders of several young women, leading her into the dark world of human trafficking. As with the previous books in this series, the pace is high-speed, and chapters alternate among multiple points of view. Thanks to LaVoy's ability to differentiate the numerous characters, listeners will track the plotlines as they twist and turn and as each member of the Murder Club shares their professional and personal lives.
