Crown Prosecutor Eve Wren finds herself in the middle of the trial of the decade in this riveting audiobook filled with well-crafted characters and dialogue. Moira Quirk is a superb choice as narrator. She skillfully develops each character, yet with deft use of inflection and vocal modulation the focus remains on Wren. As she reviews all the evidence to make sure the prosecutors haven't missed any required disclosure to the defense, the possibility of failure drives her. Quirk captures her trepidation with changes in tempo and tone. She conveys Wren's awareness that a mistake could mean that the seven defendants who murdered 43 people in a heinous crime could go free.

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.

This suspenseful audiobook with an interesting but ultimately unbelievable premise should appeal to adrenaline junkies.
Carly Robins, with her pleasant, refined, all-American voice, narrates this raw and harrowing audiobook. A group of masked vigilantes known as "Nomen" is kidnapping up-and-coming celebrities and making them disappear. The group is fighting against the cult of celebrity and the country’s obsession with trendsetters. Fiona, a popular author, is among those targeted. Robins makes her sympathetic, and her perils frighten and compel. Fiona joins forces with another author, also a targeted celebrity, to rescue the glitterati who have been captured and bring the vindictive group to justice.
