by Menna van Praag ; read by Jennifer Carr ‧ RELEASE DATE: Jan. 22, 2014
Jennifer Carr steadily narrates a story about love and its many paths. While the audiobook is short on dialogue, Carr's British charm weaves together the seemingly separate stories of a small community that converge after an unlikely series of events. Carr changes her pace beautifully to convey the transformation of Cora from an indifferent academic to a passionate young woman who is ready to take chances and to solve problems more complex than those in the classroom. Listeners can lose themselves in this simple but enjoyable story, thanks to Carr's solid narration.

by Sara Desai ; read by Soneela Nankani & Andrew Eiden ‧ RELEASE DATE: Aug. 20, 2024
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.

by Gerald A. Browne ; read by Barry Bostwick ‧ RELEASE DATE: Jan. 22, 1993
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.
