Audiobook Review: And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie, narrator Dan Stevens

Blurb: 

"And Then There Were None" is a mystery novel by Agatha Christie, first published in 1939. The story revolves around ten strangers who are invited to a secluded island under various pretenses. Once there, they are cut off from the outside world and soon find themselves being murdered one by one, following the pattern of a children's rhyme. As paranoia and suspicion grow among the guests, each person must confront their own past actions, revealing dark secrets. The tension escalates as they try to identify the killer among them, leading to a surprising and suspenseful conclusion. The novel is celebrated for its intricate plotting and is considered one of Christie's masterpieces.

My Review - 5 of 5 stars - 

I have enjoyed Agatha Christie for a long time. This was probably the first of hers that I read. When this audiobook was on sale, I bought it and went for a re-read. It had been quite a while so it was almost like the first time. It was still a wonderful story, and Dan Stevens did a great job with all the different voices. He kept it entertaining and moving along. I know there are things that people nowadays would have issues with some of the verbiage, but I don't think it took away from the story.

This is my unsolicited review.

Release: Sun Up to Sun Down (Fallen Meadows Ranch #1) by Janine Infante Bosco with my review

The stakes are life and death. The alliance is lethal. And the hardest part?
Admitting he’s still in love with the girl who belongs to the side of the tracks he was never supposed to cross.

Sun Up to Sun Down by Janine Infante Bosco is out now!!

https://geni.us/SunUptoSunDown

Welcome to Saddle Ridge, where life is hard and love is wild...

Maddox

I'm no stranger to hard work. I've got a family ranch that's on the brink of collapse, a grandfather whose health is fading, and a laundry list of other responsibilities that demand my constant attention.

Every sunrise brings a new fight. There's no time to worry about what might have been with the girl who got away.

But it seems I've avoided Amelia King for as long as I can.

One reckless ranch hand making trouble at her bar is more than I can afford. Her outlaw cousin and his gang of gearheads won't take kindly to the mess my man has made. So I swallow my pride and head into town to make things right.

The moment I spot her, she takes my breath away. Still gorgeous and igniting that familiar fire in my veins, just the sight of her brings back all of my memories. But before I can grab a broom or write a check for the damages, an unexpected phone call interrupts our chaotic reunion.

With my grandfather's legacy now on the line, I'm desperate to preserve it if it's the last thing I do. We're facing an enemy with a dangerous connection to Amelia of all people, and they're determined to stop me no matter who gets hurt in the process. As the stakes get higher, lives hang in the balance, so I do exactly what my sister begs me not to. Forming an alliance with the Fallen Demons Motorcycle Club could cost my family everything. But there's something more dangerous than going into business with the outlaws: admitting I'm in love with their vice president's cousin.

My Review - 5 of 5 stars - 

This was great story, a second chance/reunion for Amelia and Maddox. They were very young when they fell in love with each other, but life and youthfully stupid decisions tore them apart. Both were struggling in the present and had to figure out their situations. I loved the fact that Maddox had kept his interactions with Amelia when younger on the legal side. He was so caring but doubted himself when things got hard. Amelia was hurt and anger, but willing to judge his actions. Secrets and danger added quite an edge and kept me reading. I loved the blend of cowboys and MC in this book.

Release: Night Fall to First Light (Fallen Demons MC #1) by E.C. Land with my review

They told her she didn’t belong. They told her the ranch was a lost cause.

But they were wrong, and he knows it. 🏍️🔥  

Night Fall to First Light by E.C. Land is now live!!

https://geni.us/NightFalltoFirstLight

On this ranch, there will be a reckoning.

Shadow

Her grandfather's sacrifice was supposed to spare her from this life, but his death has pulled her right back home to the ranch she thought she'd left behind for good. Now she's fighting with her brother for the right to save it. She has a plan but no one will listen to her.

Her brother's solution is to bring in outsiders, that's what she says. He claims without the club's help, the ranch is doomed. 

But I see the genius in Della's vision. 

And this ain't our first rodeo. Literally. 

Now we're up against more than just her brother. Between small minds, big business, and a bunch of folks who don't think Della belongs here, she's determined to prove everyone wrong. And I'm determined to prove to her the spark that's igniting between us is a whole lot more than basic attraction. Can we protect what's rightfully hers—and ours—or will outside forces burn our new dreams to ashes?

My Review - 5 of 5 stars - 

Della's past touched my heart, and her present had its own issues. Shadow cared about Della and did what he could to help her heal. She grew stronger under Shadow's caring. I loved how he was quite ready to claim her almost from the start and regretted his past actions. He was so protective of her and loyal to his MC. Definitely loved the MC's support. A great beginning to this series, and I look forward to more.

About MISTLETOE ALL THE WAY (Coming 10/6/2026):

She wants to make him Mr. Holiday. He wants to stay a certified Grinch. From #1 New York Times bestselling author Lauren Blakely comes a small-town spicy holiday romance about a guarded cowboy veterinarian and a Christmas-loving optimist who team up for a town holiday competition.

Dr. Noah Lennox lives by three holiday rules—avoid his hometown, cheerful people, and Christmas itself.

But when his beloved grandfather announces he’s retiring and handing the cherished sleigh-ride farm to either Noah or his slick cousin Stephen, the first rule goes out the window. Back home in Evergreen Falls, the veterinarian vows to fight for the farm that means everything to him. The problem is, the town doesn’t exactly welcome its resident Scrooge with open arms.

Except for one very charming holiday enthusiast. Eloise Langston, a sunny tourism bureau hopeful, needs a win to land her dream job—and to pay the rent. Her holly jolly plan? Turn the broody, broad-shouldered grump into a festive front-runner to help the town’s Mr. Holiday Competition draw record crowds.

Transforming a camera-shy cowboy vet into a small-town sweetheart isn’t exactly in her job description—but neither is falling for him.

Soon, Noah and Eloise find themselves tangled in twinkle lights, fake kisses, and one very real attraction. But with the farm’s future at stake, Stephen’s scheming, and Eloise’s career on the line, there’s a blizzard of reasons to put their feelings on ice.

Or will they fight to turn their holiday fling into forever under the mistletoe?

Available on All Platforms

“Steamy and suspenseful, with a couple to root for and an evil villain to hate, [this] is the kind of romantic suspense I love to read!”—NYT Bestselling Author Christy Reece

He never planned to fall for her.

Now he'll risk everything to save her.

As a special agent--and a self-proclaimed bachelor--Brian Malone has rules that keep his life controlled and complication-free.

Until Tess Bingham.

Tess has sacrificed too much to gamble on a man with a reputation for being a player. She put med school on hold to raise her teenage brother, Andy, and built a stable life working as the medical examiner's assistant.

When a storm damages their home, Brian offers Tess and Andy the use of his family's beach house while repairs are made. Soon, he's checking in far more often than necessary--and pretending the attraction between them doesn't exist becomes impossible.

Then Tess disappears.

Now Brian isn't just investigating a crime...he's hunting the people responsible. 

Because this isn't just another case. It's the woman who won his heart.

And he'll break every rule to bring her home.
