This suspenseful audiobook with an interesting but ultimately unbelievable premise should appeal to adrenaline junkies.
Carly Robins, with her pleasant, refined, all-American voice, narrates this raw and harrowing audiobook. A group of masked vigilantes known as "Nomen" is kidnapping up-and-coming celebrities and making them disappear. The group is fighting against the cult of celebrity and the country’s obsession with trendsetters. Fiona, a popular author, is among those targeted. Robins makes her sympathetic, and her perils frighten and compel. Fiona joins forces with another author, also a targeted celebrity, to rescue the glitterati who have been captured and bring the vindictive group to justice.

C.J. Box writes about life in wild Wyoming, short stories of people living a rugged life by choice or by circumstance. David Chandler narrates in a rough-edged whiskey voice that suggests summer heat, bitter winters, and windswept prairies, guiding the listener through 10 adventures of men like Fish and Game Officer Joe Pickett. Chandler brings the listener into this strange world where, more often than not, men have to create their own justice. His performance of the economical stories, some rarely seen, is perfect. The tale of the frozen body of a Native American basketball player turned speed freak, her arm reaching through the ice of a lake in a final jump shot, is one of the most fascinating in the collection.

The cast sustains an intense atmosphere and guides listeners toward a chilling yet satisfying conclusion.
The exquisitely haunting multivoiced narration sharpens the edges of this compelling psychological thriller. Isuri Wijesundara, Lipica Shah, and Vikas Adam perform the story’s shifting perspectives with authenticity, vulnerability, and intensity, lending distinct layers to a tale of privilege, betrayal, and murder. The story centers around Ali who, in an arranged marriage, weds Maryam Khan, a talented, straight-laced doctor. Ali has a scandalous relationship with his rebellious sister-in-law, Farhan. Both the sisters and Ali yearn for the approval of family patriarch Abbas, a New York real estate tycoon. Wijesundara and Shah draw listeners into Farhan and Maryam’s psyches. As accusations mount and loyalties fracture, Adam nimbly the story toward an unveiling of the Khans' secrets.
