Fans of Jack Reacher (the "Reacher Creatures") will find everything they've come to expect in the series: long bus trips to nowhere; detailed, well-choreographed fist fights, which Reacher always wins; and a never-ending pursuit of justice. Narrator Dick Hill's gruff, evenly paced voice has become the voice of Jack Reacher, even when Reacher says nothing. Reacher's self-appointed mission is to track down the owner of a women's West Point Class of 2005 ring, which he finds in a pawn shop. Hill successfully voices the many characters, male and female, cop and criminal, whom Reacher encounters. Reacher's pursuit unravels a tragic, eye-opening story of veterans who have been abandoned by their country to cope on their own with the traumatic physical and mental scars of war.

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.
