Story
When Penny Dahl calls the Finders Keepers detective agency, hoping for help locating her missing daughter, Holly Gibney is reluctant to accept the case. Her partner, Pete, has Covid. Her (very complicated) mother has just passed away. And Holly is meant to be on leave. But something in Penny’s desperate voice makes it impossible to turn her down. Meanwhile, mere blocks from where Bonnie Dahl disappeared live Professors Rodney and Emily Harris. But they are also harboring a shocking, unholy secret.

Loved it

I don’t get the people who don’t like Holly’s character - she’s a treasure! And for the MAGAts who whine about the novel being truthful - you’re once again telling on your own stupidity. Stew in it.

Story
Since his wife, Michelle, left seven years ago, Jeffy Coltrane has worked to maintain a normal life for himself and his 11-year-old daughter, Amity, in Suavidad Beach. It’s a quiet life, until a local eccentric known as Spooky Ed shows up on their doorstep. Ed entrusts Jeffy with hiding a strange and dangerous object - something he calls “the key to everything” - and tells Jeffy that he must never use the device. But after a visit from a group of ominous men, Jeffy and Amity find themselves accidentally activating the key and discovering an extraordinary truth.

What’s the female characters name???

Better than the star rating I’m giving

Great story by Koontz. Great narration by Ballerini. The girl narrator was awful. Mispronounced words, unnatural delivery seemingly unaware of what she’s reading, just awful. Koontz and Ballerini make it otherwise quite enjoyable.

Story
At first, it looks like a disease. An epidemic that spreads through no known means, driving its victims mad with memories of a life they never lived. But the force that’s sweeping the world is no pathogen. It’s just the first shock wave, unleashed by a stunning discovery - and what’s in jeopardy is not our minds but the very fabric of time itself. In New York City, Detective Barry Sutton is closing in on the truth - and in a remote laboratory, neuroscientist Helena Smith is unaware that she alone holds the key to this mystery...and the tools for fighting back.

Time, memory, reality, and consciousness
Reviewed: 08-23-20
Is our perception of time merely a false, simplistic construct our brains have created because our limited ability to experience true reality, as opposed to the one our minds create, is too constrained? Does the passage of time even exist or is that a waking dream untethered to physics?
“Recursion” explores our relationship with time through our individual and shared conscious memories. If a memory could launch a new reality, what would happen to our current selves? to the world?

Story
You've lost your daughter. She's addicted to drugs and to an abusive boyfriend. And she's made it clear that she doesn't want to be found. Then, by chance, you see her playing guitar in Central Park. But she's not the girl you remember. This woman is living on the edge, frightened, and clearly in trouble. You don't stop to think. You approach her, beg her to come home. She runs.

The end seemed rushed, in a hurry to wrap things up. Maybe a deadline was looming.

Story
"I believe there is another man inside every man, a stranger...." writes Wilfred Leland James in the early pages of the riveting confession that makes up "1922", the first in this pitch-black quartet of mesmerizing tales from Stephen King. For James, that stranger is awakened when his wife, Arlette, proposes selling off the family homestead and moving to Omaha, setting in motion a gruesome train of murder and madness.

Four Dark Stories
Reviewed: 03-20-19
This collection includes four very dark stories about murder, rape, greed, secret lives, and the parts of ourselves we don’t admit exist but lurk not too far below the surface and can be brought out by twists of fate. Craig Watson and Jessica Hecht both lend realistic and believable narration to alternating tales with male or female protagonists. Great listen!

Monotone narration
Reviewed: 01-20-18
Good story but the performance is literally just read in a low, monotone, almost whispered voice. Hard to listen to, harder to keep interest up. Listening is work with this performance.
