Hidden somewhere in the world are seven priceless stones, each possessing the power of one of the Seven Deadly Sins. Wulf and Diesel are after the stones; Wulf wants them for his own evil ends, while Diesel wants them hidden away. Both men arrive on pastry chef Lizzie Tucker’s Massachusetts doorstep. Wulf touches her hand, leaving a burn mark; Diesel kindles another kind of flame. Lizzie is an “Unmentionable”—a human with special abilities. Lorelei King turns the hunt for the Gluttony stone into a wild romp. She makes Lizzie’s confusion palpable and gives credence to Diesel’s vow to protect her and to Wulf’s darker motives. King narrates this piece of paranormal fluff with her usual expertise, making the listening fun. Evanovich fans won’t be disappointed.

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.
