The polished Dan John Miller continues his narration of the Nate Heller detective series, solidly entertaining listeners with the fictional Heller’s investigations of the world’s most famous real-life mysteries. This time Heller confronts the disappearance of famed aviatrix Amelia Earhart, delivering a vivid and arguably credible scenario regarding what happened to her over the Pacific during the round-the-world flight she never completed in 1937. Complementing the fascinating speculative aspects of the story is an entirely fictional but no less moving romance between Heller and Earhart, which Miller delivers as effectively as he does the thriller aspects of the story. Tough, often funny, and surprisingly tender, Collins and Miller see to it that FLYING BLIND will get to both your head and your heart.

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.
