An 11-year-old boy's violated corpse is found in a town park. Eyewitnesses and fingerprints point unmistakably to one of Flint City's most popular citizens. He is Terry Maitland, Little League coach, English teacher, husband, and father of two girls. Detective Ralph Anderson, whose son Maitland once coached, orders a quick and very public arrest. Maitland has an alibi, but Anderson and the district attorney soon add DNA evidence to go with the fingerprints and witnesses. Their case seems ironclad.

voice volume very uneven
Reviewed: 03-25-24
I was riveted by the story. The vivid description of the murder was hard to listen to, so I skipped past some of the gruesome details. The narrator lowered his voice for the spooky parts which is effective in a very quiet environment but nearly impossible to hear while driving which is where I do most of my listening.

In a time when our political and cultural views feel more polarized than ever, Tyson provides a much-needed antidote to so much of what divides us, while making a passionate case for the twin chariots of enlightenment—a cosmic perspective and the rationality of science. After thinking deeply about how science sees the world and about Earth as a planet, the human brain has the capacity to reset and recalibrates life’s priorities, shaping the actions we might take in response. No outlook on culture, society, or civilization remains untouched.

Pretty good, not great
Reviewed: 04-10-22
This story about a young woman trying to make it as a country singer was entertaining, but I was disappointed there was zero music. With Dolly Parton in one of the main roles, and new songs being introduced, I thought some of it would be sung. Nope. It's all just narration, lyrics too. So that was definitely disappointing. As for the plot, I fount it a bit predictable and had trouble understanding why the main character made some of the choices she did.

Esther, a painter living in Jamaica and recovering from the death of her husband, comes across a man on a mountain road with no memory of his past. As a hurricane rushes towards the island, she shelters the handsome stranger, names him “Monty”, and tries to uncover the mystery of his missing memory. She soon finds herself falling in love with a man she barely knows, and who doesn’t even know himself. The Mountain and the Sea is a romantic tale about letting go of the past and embracing the present.

I liked the premise but the story dragged a bit and felt repetitive. Could have been cut in half and still gotten the message across.

In the mid-70s, Steve Martin exploded onto the comedy scene. By 1978 he was the biggest concert draw in the history of stand-up. In 1981 he quit forever. Born Standing Up is, in his own words, the story of "why I did stand-up and why I walked away".

The tide is turning against the colonists in the Revolutionary War, and 18-year-old Elizabeth Morris cannot sit by idly. Quietly disdainful of her Tory parents, who drag her along to society events and welcome a British soldier into their home during their occupation of New York City, Elizabeth decides to take matters into her own hands. She realizes that, as a young woman, no one around her believes that she can comprehend the profound implications of being a nation at war - she is, effectively, invisible. And she can use this invisibility to her advantage.

This was an enjoyable listen about a young woman striving to realize her magical potential in a male dominated society. Plenty of action and intrigue with interesting characters. The narrator did a decent job, though his inflection sounded off at times to my ears.
