Narrator Tanya Eby delivers in spades for fans of Gerritsen’s bestselling series featuring Boston homicide detective Jane Rizzoli and coroner Maura Isles. Their latest adventure goes global with an African safari gone wrong that is connected to a Boston murder. Eby handles the familiar repartee between the two characters with aplomb and allows the warmth and caring they have for each other to shine through. We know the duo will apprehend the killer, but Eby makes it even more fun and holds listener interest through the last moments. Both Eby and Gerritsen are working at the top of their games.

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.

Dirk Pitt, intrepid adventurer and master explorer, searches the Sahara for the deadly toxin that is killing marine life world wide. This audio, abridged by Harold Schmidt, lacks most of the adventure, as well as the humor, of Cussler's novels. Narrator Tom Wopat brings an unconventional vocal slant to the ever-cocky Pitt. Using lots of vocal characterization, Wopat brings across the smug brashness of Pitt and handles dialogue briskly. Enhanced by sound effects and small pieces of music, this is an interesting and perplexing mystery.
