WOLF LAKE is an entertainingly gothic audiobook about a series of suspicious deaths and an isolated Adirondack estate. Legend says that the robber baron founder of the place dreamed a terrible dream about his own death, then died in the manner he had dreamed of. Now more creepy deaths are happening, all preceded by horrible haunting dreams. Dave Gurney, the retired police detective who is drawn into the case, has a wife who--surprise!--has her own dark connection to the place and is soon in jeopardy as well. Christopher Lane does a fine job in his slightly graveled voice of developing personalities, creating suspense, and keeping up the pace with a straight face as each dastardly turn of events thickens the plot.

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.
