  Firmly placed in the historical adventure genre, Mangadoo follows the story of George Nolan. Transported as a young convict to the Swan River Colony in Western Australia  for being an accessory to the theft of a champion racehorse, George serves out his sentence working at a rural timber mill. 
  He is determined to find the truth behind his unjust conviction. Upon gaining his freedom, and after a chance meeting with an old friend, he sets off on an adventure that takes him to Roebourne in the rugged North West of Western Australia. Many events unfold. These involve, among other things, horse theft and a plot to overthrow the colonial establishment in order to create a Fenian stronghold. 
  The story hurtles along, driven by plenty of action and a range of characters including adventurous young men, various military types and even a crazed, bloodthirsty American Indian. 
  It’s a good yarn and has something to say about Western Australia’s early colonial days. Its strength is in the narrative, which is certainly well thought out and very lively.

  When the treasured 15th century Cherringham Chalice is stolen from St. James, it looks at first like the work of a professional gang, robbing local churches. But Jack and Sarah realise that there must have been someone on the inside, helping the thieves - and they start to investigate. Can it really be possible that a member of the church council is guilty? Soon Jack and Sarah discover that even in this world of trust and faith there can be secrets, lies ... and real danger.
  
  Set in the sleepy English village of Cherringham, the detective series brings together an unlikely sleuthing duo: English web designer Sarah and American ex-cop Jack. Thrilling and deadly - but with a spot of tea - it's like Rosamunde Pilcher meets Inspector Barnaby.
  
  Co-authors Neil Richards (based in the UK) and Matthew Costello (based in the US), have been writing together since the mid-90s, creating innovative content and working on major projects for the BBC, Disney Channel, Sony, ABC, Eidos, and Nintendo to name but a few. Their transatlantic collaboration has underpinned scores of TV drama scripts, computer games, radio shows, and the best-selling mystery series Cherringham. Their latest series project is called Mydworth Mysteries.
  
  The narrator of the audiobook, Neil Dudgeon, has been in many British television programmes including the roles of 'DCI John Barnaby' in 'Midsomer Murders' and 'Jim Riley' in 'The Life of Riley'. He is also known for his film roles in 'The Nativity', 'Sorted' and 'Son of Rambow'.

Sherlock Holmes and his companion Dr. Watson investigate the case. This was the first appearance of Holmes since his apparent death in "The Final Problem", and the success of The Hound of the Baskervilles led to the character's eventual revival.

  From a USA Today bestselling author and an Earphone award-winning narrator. 
  To Miami Jones, fishing is a pastime best done with a cooler of beer and low expectations. So when a cable TV personality hires him to investigate irregularities in a competitive fishing tournament in Spanish Wells, Bahamas, Jones is less than enthusiastic. 
  He expects to find a bunch of old geezers kicking back with lazy rods and a bucket of worms. What he finds is a high stakes and big money game, where winning is measured not in inches and pounds but in views and sponsorship deals. 
  Before he knows it Jones finds himself in over his head, alone and with clues that all point in the wrong direction. To get himself out of this mess, he'll not only have to solve this mystery but also a murder from decades ago that still casts a shadow across this laid-back paradise.
