Summary

Exit the Skeleton by Herbert Adams is a spine-chilling mystery that will have you guessing until the very end. When a seemingly ordinary house becomes the scene of a gruesome murder, the local inspector is thrust into a web of dark secrets and buried pasts. As more skeletons—both literal and figurative—emerge, the race to uncover the truth intensifies. Each new clue leads to more questions, and the culprit could be anyone in this tightly-knit community. Will the inspector solve the mystery before the next victim is claimed, or will the killer continue to strike from the shadows? A must-read for fans of classic whodunits with a sinister twist.

    A twisted new thriller by the author of Bad Company: When obsession consumes two people, can they both survive?
This audiobook is narrated using advanced digital voice technology for clear, natural-sounding storytelling.

Jessica has always kept her distance, never allowing herself to get too close to anyone—until now. Desperate for a connection, she sets her sights on finding a man who will love her no matter what—and she's prepared to do anything to achieve her goal . . .

Max is handsome, alluring, and hiding a dangerous secret of his own. What begins as an ordinary pursuit soon spirals into something far darker, and in the confines of a playroom, a twisted relationship begins to unfold and the lines between captor and captive start to blur.

But who is truly in control?

As two deeply damaged people lock into a dangerous dance of manipulation, desire, and deceit, it becomes clear that there is far more at stake than either of them could have imagined.

In the playroom, the rules are unclear, trust is a deadly gamble, and every move could be their last. In this high-stakes game, nothing is certain—except that monsters wear many faces . . .

    Dr. David Fazio is a maternity physician at Chicago-Western Medical Hospital. He is a handsome, divorced baby doctor who has more than his share of personal flaws. But Dr. Fazio has one good moral quality going for him: He is a pro-life obstetrician. In a state where late-term abortions are now legal, he is being strongly encouraged by the hospital to perform abortions to any patient requesting one. Dr. Fazio has one other problem...he has horrific sleep issues and has been known to be a sleepwalker. He wakes up one morning with severe burns on his hands, while a family planning clinic one block away has burned down to the ground with casualties. The authorities are now suspicious, as the "Abortion Arsonist" is burning down clinics in Chicagoland, and Dr. Fazio has no clue who it is. Every time Dr. Fazio sleeps, he has no concept of where he'll wake up or any memory of what damage he may have done the night before...

    From multimillion-copy best-selling author Willow Rose comes the next chapter in the best-selling Emma Frost mystery series. Emma Frost is tied up in a murder mystery that seems out of this world. When a young girl disappears one night from the park, then turns up again the next morning in a different place on the island, people start to talk about her. Was she drunk and just unable to remember what happened? Did she go home with a guy and won't admit it? What happened to her, and why is she insisting that she doesn't know? Emma Frost is fighting for Victor's best friend, Skye. Emma is trying to get her back from the people who took her in the night, but having no luck, when a guy falls into her arms in the street and dies a few minutes later. The autopsy shows he has frozen to death, but it doesn't seem possible. When a young boy from Victor's school turns up frozen, as well, and things start to get cold around her own house, Emma begins to fear for her loved ones' lives. Once again, Willow Rose has written a story so compelling that it leaves the listener in almost unbearable suspense until the surprise ending is revealed.
