The Postcard Killers {Audiobook} Review & Giveaway

The Postcard Killers

by James Patterson & Liza Marklund

Read by Katherine Kellgren, Eric Singer, and Reg Rogers

isbn: 9781607883821
Pub. Date: 8/16/2010

Description: NYPD detective Jack Kanon is on a tour of Europe's most gorgeous cities. But the sights aren't what draw him--he sees each museum, each cathedral, and each restaurant through a killer's eyes.

Kanon's daughter, Kimmy, and her boyfriend were murdered while on vacation in Rome. Since then, young couples in Paris, Copenhagen, Frankfurt, and Stockholm have become victims of the same sadistic killers. Now Kanon teams up with the Swedish reporter, Dessie Larsson. Every killing is preceded by a postcard to the local newspaper--and Kanon and Larsson think they know where the next victims will be. With relentless logic and unstoppable action, THE POSTCARD KILLERS may be James Patterson's most vivid and compelling thriller yet.

My Review: While this isn't a title I would recommend for the easily offended, if you enjoy graphic crime scenes, explicit sex, and don't mind some profanity I would gladly point you towards The Postcard Killers as I find the three to be imperative to an excellent crime thriller. A fast based story from the get go and well read by three different narrators this one was worth the listen. It is 7.5 hours long, and even though I could have listened while I was busy doing other things this one took me a while to get through because I wanted to hear every detail without distraction. It didn't quite turn out that way for me since I usually have so many things to do, but like I said - It was worth it!

Win it!

The Island ~ Audiobook Review and Giveaway!

The Island By Elin Hilderbrand

isbn 978-1607882404
Read by Denice Hicks
Pub. Date 7/6/10

Description: Birdie Cousins has planned a getaway with her daughter Chess on rustic, charming Tuckernuck Island off the coast of Nantucket, a chance to bond before Chess's upcoming marriage. Birdie's been through a difficult divorce herself, so she knows the big commitment that marriage entails. She's only recently dared to tiptoe back into the waters of romance.

When Chess abruptly breaks off the wedding and her fiancé shockingly dies in a rock climbing accident, it leaves Chess feeling guilty and deeply depressed. Birdie circles the wagons, convincing her younger daughter Tate, and her own sister India to join them on Tuckernuck for the month of July. Secrets and intrigue soon make their way to the surface, as Elin Hilderbrand once again weaves a masterful story of summer suspense.

As much as I love reading, I don't get to do it as often as I would like and it takes me a long time to finish an entire book. This Audio book is 15 hours long, but since I was able to have it on while I was doing other things it was so much easier for me to get through it. I found it to be a nice calm story to listen to while doing my evening tidy up around the house and even while cooking dinner or just relaxing. I fell asleep to it a few times, which was a bit of a pain to try finding my place but that was my own fault! The story had a nice feel for family bonding and even though I normally prefer fantasy or thrillers I found myself enjoying The Island and itching to know what would happen next.

Win it!
