Audiobook Reviews: 4/5 Stars Case File by Bill Pronzini

Short Stories starring the Nameless Detective Narrated by Nick Sullivan Run Time: 7 hrs and 45 mins Summary: A series of short stories featuring a nameless detective around the 1970’s (I think).

Audiobook Reviews 4.5/5 Stars Another Cup of Tea by Debbie Manber Kupfer

Narrated by Fiona Thraille Run Time: 1 hr and 2 mins Summary: A short collection of random short stories. Most are fiction, but there’s at least one nonfiction in here. Additional Comments: This is a whirlwind tour of random. You’ll meet cats, ghosts, teapots, coffee pots, gargoyles, vampires, and the author. The narrator’s as good…

2/5 Children’s Bedtime Stories by Kwabena Owusu

2/5 Children’s Bedtime Stories by Kwabena Owusu

Narrated by Rebecca Ehrenpreis Summary: A series of many kid stories. Additional Comments: Dialogue is super stilted. Narrator’s performance was fine. Spoilers possible I get that children’s stories often don’t make much sense, especially those in this style (legend/folk tale). Still, there should be some logic to them. Disclaimer: I am NOT the right target…

Audiobook Reviews 4/5 Stars: Will There be Watermelons on Mars by Debbie Manber Kupfer

Narrated by Jennifer Bossio Summary: I’m not sure if it’s one story or two, but it sounded like two short stories about the end of the world in Jerusalem. Additional Comments: Susie’s story is short and bittersweet. Na’ima’s story is short and hopeful. Couldn’t tell what her significant other’s name was, Reuben or Reuven. The…

Narrated by Matt Lovell Duration: 16 minutes Summary: Alistair, a character from the author’s main series (P.A.W.S.), tells the tale of his childhood to his apprentice, Joshua.

Narrated by Tom Jordan Summary: Henry’s the night guard at a local art gallery in Chicago. He’s a bachelor despite his best friend’s finest efforts.

Audiobook Reviews 3/5 Stars: The Games You Cannot Win by M.K. Williams

3.0/5 Mixed Bag of Short Stories Summary: The first and second stories kind of blended in together. I had to restart the audiobook to even remember what the first one was about. I guess I should probably evaluate them separately because they’re very different tales.   Additional Comments: – In the Business: 3/5 I totally…
