Buried DeepBuried Deep by Margot Hunt was a fast-paced listen from Audible (about 2 and a half hours long) that follows the a husband and wife during a murder investigation. Maggie and James Cabot have been married for about 20 years and Maggie does not doubt that James loves her, but when a detective comes to her doorstep to inquire about James' missing fiance (from the past), Maggie begins to doubt her husband's love and loyalty. James was once engaged to a rising star, Hannah, one who was so beautiful she could not hide from the media once her disappearance during a camping trip occurred. Many, at the time of her disappearance, assumed she drowned after a late night at the beach; when her remains are found buried, police have no choice but to question James again. This causes Maggie and James' marriage to spiral as secrets are kept (on both sides), and it begs the question of who killed Hannah? As I was listening to this book I could not help but wonder how their marriage would survive this media circus. Maggie is such a curious character, and she does her best to find out information about the past in order to help out her husband. I was so engaged in the story that I was able to listen to it all in one sitting. Granted, I know it is a short story, but it is still very action packed and it leaves the reader dying to know what happened to Hannah.

Cut and RunCut and Run is an Audible Original that I got free a few months back, and it was completely unexpected. To be fair, it does say "A Light-Hearted Dark Comedy" in the title, but I have never seen or read one before, so it was surprisingly enjoyable. It is fairly short, no more than a few hours, and the cast also makes the time seem to fly by as you listen. Basically our two main characters are friends who steal kidneys from unsuspecting "bad" people. When they steal a kidney from a questionable man, who may or may not be married, it just doesn't feel right. When they realize that they may have made a mistake, the Mexican government, a powerful, corrupt family, and the FBI are searching for them to set everything right. In the beginning I felt it was trying to be a little comical, it reminded me of what an old time radio show may have sounded, but before long the tone of the audiobook grew on me and I enjoyed it. The topic is a little dark, but as a whole the audiobook fit together and it didn't seem so far fetched after all. To get your copy go to: Audible |
