Westlake Read by William Dufris

Amusing this particular intersection of history where the living instruments of the law (cops, detectives, Special Forces, Army MPs) meet the live ones (text messaging, Live search, cell phones, Google...). What results is something Lacan called the 'missed encounter' -- in other words, the subject is there, but somehowOld Cops Meet New Technologies: Harry Bosch & Jack Reacher, 2007

Charlotte, a romance writer who has recently broken her engagement to an unfaithful beau, moves to a small town and makes friends with her neighbors and the local pastor. Very pleasantly narrated by Crystal Sershen. Story well written but a little slow. Crispens Point by JoHannah Reardon narrated by Crystal Sershen
