Holly Krauss, the successful businesswoman at the center of CATCH ME WHEN I FALL, has a secret. She’s out of control. And not only that, people are extorting money from her, stalking her, and trying to kill her. Or is it all a figment of Holly’s manic-depressive imagination? There are plenty of fireworks in this suspense story--both real and imagined--as the authors push the genre limits with their empathetically challenged heroine. Narrator Anne Flosnik conveys the thrills and terror of Holly’s bipolar dilemma and does a first-rate job differentiating the two narrative voices, the self-destructive Holly and her ever-supportive best friend, Meg.

Review Posted Online: Jan. 22, 2026
Part of the joy of Tom Clancy novels is one's belief that the stories could come true. His latest entry stretches that some as we find international terrorists building a nuclear bomb which is used to set Americans and Russians against one another. Jay Robertson reads with a newscaster's voice, crisp and clear with a light touch of drama. However, he does little to help listeners identify Clancy's huge cast of characters, and dialects seem difficult for him as he occasionally slips in and out of character. Nonetheless, patient listeners are rewarded as the plot unfolds. This will be a welcome addition to any library justifying the price of the multi-cassettte volumes.

John Sanford is back with another psychological thriller in his Prey series. Surgeon, psychopath and serial killer Bekker is on the loose again after the easiest jailbreak in recent memory. Ken Howard's reading moves along with all the brooding energy a reader could want from a suspense book. His narration is deep, clear and well-suited to the gravelly voices of retired detective Lucas Davenport and the other cops. While Howard manages good dialects and shifts in character, his female voices leave a lot to be desired. For the most part, the abridgment gleefully throws logic and characterization overboard in favor of thrills, but the basic flavor of many characters is still fairly well maintained.
