Audio has to be the best way to read a Kerry Greenwood novel. The Australian accents are delicious, and a deft narrator sweeps you happily past any momentary questions about believability. Jennifer Vuletic is that utterly deft narrator, and Phrynne Fisher fans who have not yet discovered Corinna Chapman, the contemporary plus-size heroine who bakes for a living and solves crimes on the side with her sexy P.I. boyfriend, are in for a treat. The title dog is the sole companion and comfort of a shattered Afghanistan war veteran. Corinna's whole charming village of oddball neighbors, customers, and friends gets involved in working out which ugly but not very bright gangsters took the dog and why. All's well that ends well, plus there are recipes.

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.
