In this fast-paced sequel to THE TOURIST, narrator David Pittu conveys the newest dangers faced by Milo Weaver. After being blackballed by the CIA, Weaver finds himself compelled to rejoin the elite network of top-secret black-ops agents called “tourists.” But first he’s required to prove his loyalty by killing an innocent teenage girl in Berlin. Pittu’s intense narration reflects Weaver’s conflict between his training and his emerging insecurities about his work and family. He has an estranged wife and a daughter not much younger than the girl he’s been tasked to abduct. Crisp and concentrated, Pittu unwinds the gripping action with energy. As Weaver searches for a traitor among the tourists, Pittu’s characterization of the brilliant, obese German espionage administrator adds impact.

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.
