Darren has two big talents: cricket and trouble. It is no surprise, then, that he becomes an Australian sporting star of the bad-boy variety - one of those men who's always got away with things and just keeps going...until the day we meet him, middle aged and in the boot of a car, and everything pointing towards a shallow grave.

A tale capable of eliciting sorrow, memories, understanding, closely followed by indignation and horror! It was superbly narrated. Well done all.

On Halloween night, the residents of Black Gale gather for a dinner party. As the only nine people living there, they've become close friends as well as neighbours. They eat, drink and laugh. They play games and take photographs. Except those photographs will be the last record of any of them. By the next morning, the whole village has vanished. With no bodies, no evidence and no clues, the mystery of what happened at Black Gale remains unsolved two and a half years on. But then the families of the missing turn to investigator David Raker - and their obsession becomes his.

While the basic story is a good one, both the length of it and the many characters made it convoluted and a chore to listen to. I wonder if reading the book is a better choice? As an audiobook it was not a good one in my opinion. I liked the male narrator’s voice,however I also agree that he overdramatised many scenes. And I grew to dislike the female character. She may well have been a pioneer in her field, but the sacrifices she made of her husband and young son did not sit well with me. I did not enjoy the journey reading this.

The case was barely open before it was deemed an accident. But O’Malley knew it was murder. He just couldn’t prove it. Thirty-five years later, O’Malley is found dead in his flat in what looks like a drug overdose. But his son James knows something’s amiss. His dad was close to solving that case after all these years. And someone else knew it. To track down his father’s killer, James must find the men and women who were there on the fateful night when that young couple died.

A great whodunnit, with great characters. The narrators/actors were superb. I was sorry when it ended. I am an audio book addict, I love a good voice. But there is something wonderful about hearing my own accent (Australian) being heard.

Every modern city has one week’s worth of food to feed itself. Then it will collapse. Cut off the resources to New York, Sydney, or even a mid-size metropolis, and millions will soon starve. In Zero Day Code we see those immense and open, hyper-complex, networked supercities of the new millennium die. And in the last moments we see their vengeance take form as all the best and worst traits of humanity bubble to the surface.

I love me a good post apocalyptic read or listen, with the thought of me safe in my little place in my world, experiencing what Stephen King quite accurately refers to as “Delicious Fear.” But this story terrifies me. The implication of certain countries aside, this is a book that all high government officials around the world should have on their bedside tables.It’s so darn plausible.......

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 4
Robinson Crusoe is one of the most enduring adventures of the past four centuries and one of the most well-known works in the English language. Or is it? Recently discovered amidst the papers of the 20th-century writer and historian H. P. Lovecraft is what claims to be the true story of Robinson Crusoe. Taken from the castaway's own journals and memoirs, and fact-checked by Lovecraft himself, it is free from many of Defoe's edits and alterations. From Lovecraft's work a much smoother, simpler tale emerges - but also a far more disturbing one.

The story was fascinating to listen to. And so wonderfully told. And I still listened enthralled as I decided that I did not like any member of the family! A great audiobook. I highly recommend it.
