In Molena Point, California, a group of feline detectives have purr-fected human speech, and in this delightful cat tale what they say saves lives. William Dufris gives a playful performance as wily tomcat Joe Grey, and his crew, Dulcie and Kit. The trio, along with some feral felines, become concerned when a really bad guy escapes from jail, Dulcie's housemate, former FBI agent Wilma Gertz, is kidnapped, and Wilma's ex-partner is shot. Dufris is convincing as Joe calms an overwrought Dulcie, and he keeps things energized as the pack sets off to rescue Wilma, solve the murders of several local women, and prevent further catastrophe. Highly recommended for fans of the series, the story is fast-paced and involving, and Dufris's reading is delicious.

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.
