Three talented narrators bring to life the sixth installment of this series featuring LAPD detectives Renée Ballard, who leads the new Cold Case Unit, and Harry Bosch, retired. Christine Lakin returns to masterfully capture Ballard's on-the-job rebelliousness and struggles relating to her missing mother. Listeners also reconnect with Bosch's daughter, Maddie, now a patrol officer, whose youthful intensity is brought to life by Madison Lintz. Maddie stumbles upon potential evidence in an infamous 70-year-old cold case and eagerly volunteers to work in Ballard's unit. In a brief but satisfying appearance, Titus Welliver voices Bosch, who is summoned by Ballard to help with a personal matter that escalates into a major case. With its multiple plotlines--ranging from cold cases to a terrorist plot--this production offers nonstop entertainment.

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.

Review Posted Online: Jan. 22, 2026
Michael Beck brings his best Southern drawl to his portrayal of a wealthy, eccentric widow, Eleanor, and her small-town debt-ridden lawyer, Simon, who is eager to handle her fortune. When Eleanor dies under suspicious circumstances, evidence strongly points to Simon, who must find the true killer before he loses everything. Beck infuses his characters with drawls befitting their personalities: elderly Eleanor with her high-pitched drawl; Simon with his good-old-boy drawl; criminal stepsons with their rough, guttural drawls; and old-fashioned Southern judges with their lazy drawls. Listeners will hold their breath as Beck builds the suspense in this slow-burn Southern tale of greed.
