Justine Eyre's posh British voice is feminine yet has a bit of an edge--much like former Special Forces soldier turned bodyguard Charlie Fox. Her latest assignment requires babysitting a millionaire during a New Orleans charity weekend. But the assignment takes a turn when the helicopter Charlie and her charge are riding in is shot down while viewing Katrina devastation. Charlie's lover and partner, Sean Meyer, is on assignment with her after being shot in the head in a previous installment. Eyre portrays Sean's machismo as well as his confusion as his memory begins to return. Eyre delivers the millionaire's booming American accent admirably but the exaggerated caricatures of the Louisiana locals don't ring true.

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.
