Curious Minds by Janet Evanovich
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
The dialog is what you would expect from Evanovich and I am sure that you would get some good laughs from reading the book but for me what makes the audio book is the voice of Lorelei King. She makes Riley Moon the perfect foil for Emerson Knight. Moon is very practical and calls Emerson on many of his actions. This is fast paced, filled with great characters and great dialog. In addition the interaction between Riley and Emerson is full of laughs. First in a new series I listened to book two first and the series starts great and just gets better and better.
The Brass Verdict by Michael Connelly
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I think this is where Mickey Haller and Harry Bosch first appear in the same book. I have not read the Bosch books so that is why I think and do not know for sure. I listened to The Lincoln Lawyer and loved it. As a result I am binge listening to the Mickey Haller series. There is a change of voice and Peter Giles is new voice. I liked Adam Grupper's voice better but have gotten used Peter. This one is a little different. Mickey inherited a murdered attorney's cases and one turns out to be very dangerous. The ending is unexpected and leaves Mickey in danger for his life. Since I am already listening to book three I know he survives.

Say You're Sorry by Melinda Leigh
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
A interesting mystery with some very well developed characters. One girl is missing and one has been murdered. Are the two related? A nice mystery with enough red herrings to keep the plot going. I did think that there were two many points of views and they slowed the story down at times. Other than that it was a five star not four. Morgan is a very strong female character who is getting over the loss of her husband. Ready to go back to work she chooses to defend her neighbor and try to find who really killed Tessa. Lance has issues but now has choices to make. Like Morgan he chooses to find the killer closing a door he had hoped would stay open. The story sets up future books featuring the two. A very good start to a series.
Dangerous Minds by Janet Evanovich
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Buddhist monk Wayan Bagus has lost his island so of course he comes to his friend Emerson Knight for help. That starts a fun rump with Emerson, Riley Moon and Emerson's childhood friend Vernon. The plot is outrageous, the dialog snarky, and the danger more fun that serious. Of course there is the chance of destroying the Earth. This is a great group of main characters aided by some equally good secondary characters. A fun series that does not take anything seriously. I listened to the audio book and the reader had everything down pat making the story even more fun. I had a lot of laughs out loud moments.
