Run, do not walk, to get your ears on this laugh-out-loud audio experience, filled with snappy dialogue and naughty characters—all delivered by a narrator who is more than up to the task. Beautiful, smart, and leggy Lucky O'Toole is the go-to problem-solver for the swankiest casino in Vegas. Renée Raudman shines in her portrayal of sexy Lucky; her mother, a madam; her hunky love interest, a female impersonator; and the myriad others who are attending a swingers and porn convention at the hotel. Is it any surprise that murder, blackmail, and cheating guests—including a snake-wielder and a cat-packer—abound?

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.
