Live to Tell by Lisa Gardner. Various readers.
13.5 hours.
Another novel featuring Sgt. D.D. Warren of the Boston Police Dept. Can two family annihilations be connected?
I found the Victoria character to be tedious and annoying. Otherwise, I enjoyed the book and the various readers - something which usually annoys me.
4 stars.

Casting About by Terri Dulong.
More about the characters from Spinning Forward. Kind of a yawner about newlywed Monica whose world is upended when her 8 year old step daughter comes to live with her and her new husband.
Feel good tripe.
3 stars as chick lit.

Knit One, Pearl One by Gil McNeil.
More about Jo, the widowed knitting shop owner as she tries to navigate work, family, and friends. Not very interesting, but enjoyable. I like Jo's attitude about kids - loves them, but they are not ZOMG! the specialist snowflakes ever!
4 stars as knitty chick-lit.

Hothouse Orchid by Stuart Woods. Read by Carrington Macduffie.
7.5 hours.
CIA agent Holly Barker becomes involved in a serial murder case while on vacation in Florida. The story was interesting enough, but I really enjoyed the character of Teddy. I will have to see if he appears in other books by Mr. Woods.
The reader is mostly adequate, but she does some of the voices in such a dumb-hick way, that it is hard to take them seriously.
3.5 stars overall.

Ready, Scrap, Shoot by Joanna Campbell Slan.
I almost passed on this book because the last one wasn't that great. I was happily surprised to find this latest installment of the Scrap-n-Craft mystery was more like the earlier ones.
Once again, Kiki Lowenstein finds herself in the middle of trouble as a sniper begins shooting at her daughter's annual May Day celebration. This book also introduces us to Kiki's crazy mother.
