Katherine Littrell portrays Theodosia, who gives up her law studies in Australia and goes to stay with her brother, Gus, in Kansas to pursue her dream of becoming a writer. When she finds the body of a famous writer who had befriended her in a coffee shop, she and Gus find their world turned upside down. They're drawn into a world of preppers, conspiracy theorists, and book publishers with evil intent. Littrell's strong characterizations and use of accents create believable and likable characters. In fast-paced dialogue Littrell seamlessly moves between Australian and American accents, letting the humor that is sprinkled throughout the twisting plot shine.

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.

A maturing investigator continues to learn the hard way in this gripping tale.
Author Doiron and narrator Henry Leyva have teamed up for much of the Mike Bowditch series. So it's little wonder that Leyva can take up the embattled Maine game warden like he's slipping into a broken-in pair of L.L.Bean boots. This 16th volume finds Mike facing the potential loss of his career at the same time that he's about to become a father, all while trying to solve a series of brutal murders off book. Thanks to Leyva's skill, listeners can hear the gears turning in Mike's head as he struggles to make the right choices. Leyva knows how to bring Mainers to life, whether a drunkard scallop diver or a jaded cop transplanted from Massachusetts. The result is another thrilling adventure featuring a man on edge.
