People are disappearing in Snohomish County, Washington, and the police believe a serial killer is at work, although no bodies have been found. But there's no mystery here. The listener knows from the outset: "Bigfoot is angry." Bigfoot is also psychic. And bloodthirsty. William Dufris pulls out the stops, investing all the energy and enthusiasm needed for a rousing ghost story. But he gets little help from author Hansen. Banal writing; implausible, predictable plotting; and stereotypical characters, with plenty of arm-ripping and brain-splattering, offer little more than gristle and gore, and what should be scary is just silly. However, thanks to Dufris's inspired delivery, even the most clichéd situations in this bizarre tale offer some fun.

Escape on a thrilling adventure with Soneela Nankani and Andrew Eiden as they narrate this suspenseful romance. A year has passed since Simi Chopra, her assorted crew, and Jack Danger pulled off a lucrative diamond heist. Now, the Chicago Mafia boss is demanding that the jewels be returned, so Simi gets the team back together. Nankani delivers an expressive performance that emphasizes Simi's conflict between her passion for Jack and the mission. Her distinct character voices keep the listener fully immersed. Eiden's lively tone gives Jack a subtle flair and confidence that make him easy to forgive and to love.

This is not a story about guns, but about blue pearls. Gerald Browne takes us to the Pacific Ocean and the world of pearl divers and natural gems and mixes in mystery, intrigue and suspense. Barry Bostwick portrays the characters in one voice, varying his intonation slightly for the Asian personalities. His reading style is very smooth, evidence of preparation and interest in the story. 18mm Blues is abridged well, collecting the important elements of the story. Unobtrusive music indicates the end of each side. Disappear into the mystery of the Far East and one of its most beautiful commodities.
