About this listen

 This anthology of suspense showcases 5 renowned American mystery writers. The mixture begins with Lucky Day, by Mary Higgins Clark (narrated by Betsy Palmer). It's the story of a young bride who suspects her husband is somehow involved in a strange disappearance. Trapped, by Dean R. Koontz (narrated by Bess Armstrong), takes you into the darkest depths of terror as he explores the psychology of both sides of the human hunt. In Pastime, by Robert B. Parker (narrated by David Dukes), Spenser comes to the aid of a boy he once straightened out. Carol Higgins Clark narrates her own story, Snagged, in which private eye Regan Reilly follows a trail of murder and deceit at a pantyhose convention. Finally, Dealer's Choice, by Sara Paretsky (narrated by Elliott Gould), pays homage to Raymond Chandler by bringing back Philip Marlowe to investigate a case.©1988 by Sara Paretsky, Copyright (P) 1992 by Dove Audio, Inc.; 1993 by Carol Higgins Clark, Copyright (P)1993 by Dove Audio, Inc.; 1989 by Nkui, Inc., Copyright (P)1992 by Dove Audio, Inc.; 1986 by Mary Higgins Clark, Copyright ; 1991 by Robert B.

Shocking audio quality. Couldn't listen to the last story at all and the rest was accompanied by interference. Ok stories for the most part but ruined by the quality. Never had this experience with audible before. Can't believe I paid for this!

Shocking audio quality

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
what's the point of the chapters? wouldn't it actually make even the smallest amount of sense if anyone at audible thought.
instead of chapters which didn't end a story, (another short story starts third of the way into a chapter) just have each story a seperate chapter.
the audio quality keeps changing with each chapter. most of the stories themselves are quite good, only ruined by audibles poor production standards and misguided chapter numbers. very disappointing

audio quality is terrible
