    A Falling of Angels is the second part of the Sam Holloway Trilogy of military, action/adventure audiobooks by W T Delaney. The story unfolds against the backdrop of the western world's current struggle against Islamic terrorism. It's London in 2019 and the Islamic State has crumbled, and a team of British-born jihadists is on its way home with revenge and mass murder in mind. When a British agent within Daesh reveals a suicide bomb plot, Samantha Holloway, an ex-British Army Intelligence Corps operator, and her team of former Special Forces soldiers, are contracted by the Security Services to help. Sam's team must race to prevent the attack against the gripping backdrop of a secret, complex, and morally dubious CIA plot, to locate and capture the terrorist mastermind. Has Sam's team been told the truth as the clock ticks towards an attack on the heart of government? All three interlinked novels are based against a factual historical backdrop. The team works together again in the final book of the series An Evil Shadow Falls.  The author has drawn on his own experiences gathered while working as an intelligence officer in both Iraq and Afghanistan to craft the stories. The narrator served with him. ***** Five stars again for Delaney.***** I listened to this in two sessions.***** Brilliant, Delaney's background nails the authenticity once again.***** This audiobook is as gripping as the first. ***** Delaney is a tour de force! I literally couldn't put this book down. He makes the complex murky world of counterintelligence infinitely entertaining. Loved it!

Or did he? 
     
     
     
    When Birdie does agree to start her witchy lessons, Evie's beyond excited, but she soon discovers that magically sweeping floors isn't the dazzling spell she'd hoped for. Still, all witches have to start somewhere, right?

    Sometimes trusting your instincts…Can be murder.
     
    Evelyn Foster is finally confident that Atlas is ready to pass the rigorous tests to become a fully certified cadaver dog. After a flurry of last-minute training to get her furry buddy as ready as he can possibly be, Eve meets with experienced volunteers from Michigan Mutts Search and Aid to put Atlas through the first in a series of tests.
     
    Excited to get him started, Eve is entirely baffled when Atlas completely ignores repeated commands to search and keeps circling back around to one of the volunteers, a man from Marquette. It seems as though Atlas is more interested in the treats that he can smell in the man’s pocket than in doing his job.
     
    Disappointed and frustrated, Eve is on the verge of giving up and going home but decides to trust Atlas’ instincts. She asks the volunteer from Marquette if they can search him and his vehicle. The volunteer agrees and Atlas gives a hard alert when he’s taken to the volunteer’s trunk.
     
    Atlas passes his test with flying colors when the trunk is opened, and a body is discovered.The volunteer claims that he is innocent, and he is eventually allowed to leave, but Eve suspects that he knows more than he’s letting on.
     
    Can she team up with her canine buddies and crack the case? Find out in this exciting Canine Cozy Mystery!
