Title: What Remains of Me Subtitle: A Novel Author: Alison Gaylin Narrator: Ann Marie Lee Format: Unabridged Length: 12 hrs and 54 mins Language: English Release date: 02-23-16 Publisher: HarperAudio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 87 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: The USA Today best-selling author of the Brenna Spector series returns with her most ambitious book to date, a spellbinding novel of psychological suspense, set in the glamorous, wealthy world of Hollywood - a darkly imaginative and atmospheric tale of revenge and betrayal, presumed guilt and innocence lost, dirty secrets and family ties, reminiscent of the best sellers of Laura Lippman, Gillian Flynn, and Harlan Coben. Nobody's perfect. Everybody's got a drawer somewhere with something hidden in it. On June 28, 1980 - the hottest night of the year - Kelly Michelle Lund shoots and kills Oscar-nominated director John McFadden at a party in his home...and instantly becomes a media sensation, her chilling smile fodder for national nightmares. For years speculation swirls over the enigmatic 17-year-old's motives, information she's refused to share. Convicted of the murder, she loses her youth and her freedom - but keeps her secrets to herself. Thirty years later - and five years after her release from prison - the past has come back to haunt Kelly. Her father-in-law, movie legend Sterling Marshall, is found in a pool of blood in his home in the Hollywood Hills - dead from a shot to the head, just like his old friend, John McFadden. Once again Kelly is suspected of the high-profile murder. But this time she's got some unexpected allies who believe she's innocent - of both killings - and want to help her clear her name. But is she? Written with masterful precision and control, What Remains of Me brilliantly moves forward and back in time, playing out the murders side by side - interweaving subtle connections and peeling away layers of events to reveal the shocking truth.

A wealthy socialite with no enemies and little reason to leave her life, he fears the worst has become of his wife. Keri takes on the case, assigned a new partner whom she hates, as Ray still recovers in the hospital.

Dark psychological thrillers with heart-pounding suspense, the Keri Locke Mystery series is a riveting new series - with a beloved new character - that will leave you listening late into the night.

Un thriller como solo Gillian Flynn, la autora de Perdida, sabe hacerlo. Libby Day tenía siete años cuando su madre y sus dos hermanas fueron víctimas de lo que los medios llamaron la masacre de la granja de Kinnakee, Kansas. Ella salvó la vida y testificó contra su hermano Ben, a quien señaló como el culpable. Veinticinco años después, el Kill Club -una sociedad secreta obsesionada con crímenes célebres- localiza a una Libby en franca decadencia y pretende que les ayude a escarbar en los cabos sueltos de aquella noche, quizá en busca de alguna prueba que absuelva a Ben. Ella aceptará remover el pasado y volver a contactarse con personas a las que deseó olvidar, siempre y cuando reciba a cambio algún tipo de honorario. Lo que Libby no sabe es que una verdad inimaginable saldrá a flote y la pondrá de nuevo en aquella misma situación: huyendo de la muerte en una carrera desquiciada. Please note: This audiobook is in Spanish. Crítica Comentarios: "Con su aterrador debut, Heridas abiertas, Gillian Flynn hizo saltar todas las alarmas. Lugares oscuros es la confirmación de que no era ninguna broma." (Val McDermid) "Gillian Flynn es de lo mejorcito, una narradora aguda, mordaz e irresistible con talento para lo macabro."

Jefferson Parker Narrator: Will Damron Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 14 mins Language: English Release date: 08-22-17 Publisher: Penguin Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 41 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: For fans of Michael Connelly and CJ Box, a stirring thriller from New York Times best seller and award winner T. Jefferson Parker: The Room of White Fire is the tale of a private investigator tasked with hunting down a returned soldier broken and made dangerous by his experiences at war. A young soldier shattered by war, on the run from a mental institute. A PI carrying his own vicious wounds hired to track that soldier down. A race against the clock to bring the soldier home before he reveals the secret that haunts him. Roland Ford - once a cop, then a marine, now a private investigator - is good at finding people. But when he's asked to locate air force veteran Clay Hickman, he realizes he's been drawn into something deep and dark. He knows the weight of war, having served as a marine in First Fallujah; he also knows the nightmare of indescribable personal pain, as only two years have passed since his young wife's sudden death. What he doesn't know is why a shroud of secrecy hangs over the disappearance of Clay Hickman - and why he's getting a different story from everyone involved. To begin with, there's the teenage woman who helped Clay escape: She's smart enough to fend off Ford's questions but impetuous enough to be on the run with an armed and dangerous man. Then there's Clay's attractive doctor, who clearly cares deeply for his welfare but is impossible to read, even as she inspires in Ford the first desire he has felt since his wife's death. And there's the proprietor of the mental institute who is as enigmatic as he is brash, and ambitious to the point of being ruthless; what could Clay possibly know to make this search so desperate? Soon, what began as just a job becomes a life-and-death obsession for Ford, pitting him against immensely powerful and treacherous people and forcing him to contend with chilling questions about truth, justice, and the American way.

Title: The Scandal Author: Fredrik Backman Narrator: John Sackville Format: Unabridged Length: 13 hrs and 42 mins Language: English Release date: 08-10-17 Publisher: Penguin Books Ltd Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 9 votes Genres: Mysteries & Thrillers, Suspense Publisher's Summary: Late one evening towards the end of March, a teenager picked up a double-barrelled shotgun, walked into the forest, put the gun to someone else's forehead and pulled the trigger. This is the story of how we got there. Beartown is a small town in a large Swedish forest. For most of the year it is under a thick blanket of snow, experiencing the kind of cold and dark that brings people closer together - or pulls them apart. Its isolation means that Beartown has been slowly shrinking with each passing year. But now the town is on the verge of an astonishing revival. Everyone can feel the excitement. Change is in the air, and a bright new future is just around the corner. Until the day it is all put in jeopardy by a single brutal act. It divides the town into those who think it should be hushed up and forgotten and those who'll risk the future to see justice done. At last it falls to one young man to find the courage to speak the truth that it seems no one else wants to hear. With the town's future at stake, no one can stand by or stay silent. Everyone is on one side or the other. Which side would you be on? Critic Reviews: "As popular Swedish exports go, Backman is up there with ABBA and Stieg Larsson." (The New York Times Book Review)
