Angels and Demons

Angels and DemonsAngels and Demons - audio book download

World-renowned Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon is summoned to a Swiss research facility to analyze a cryptic symbol seared into the chest of a murdered physicist. What he discovers is unimaginable: a deadly vendetta against the Catholic Church by a centuries-old underground organization—the llluminati. Desperate to save the Vatican from a powerful time bomb, Langdon joins forces in Rome with the beautiful and mysterious scientist Vittoria Vetra. Together they embark on a frantic hunt through sealed crypts, dangerous catacombs, deserted cathedrals, and the most secretive vault on earth...the long-forgotten llluminati lair.

Skye from The Hague - 28 Dec 2006
The hype about Dan Brown is not unfounded. I loved every minute of this audio book. The book is well written and the pace of the storyline with its twists & turns kept me riveted throughout.

As an avid reader of traditional hard copy books I was surprised how quickly I began to enjoy the full audio book experience. Set in Italy with its beautiful architecture lends itself perfectly to the audio book format where you easily become completely immersed in the storyline.

One not to be missed!

Alias Grace

Alias GraceAlias Grace - audio book download

Locked up at the age of sixteen for the bloody murders of her employer and his housekeeper, Grace Marks was lucky not to have been hung. But the questions remain: innocent or guilty, instigator or innocent dupe? Sixteen years later, Dr Simon Jordan, an expert in amnesia, is given access to Grace, who now spends most of her days as a servant in the home of the prison Governor, befriended by the Governor's wife who believes in her innocence. And so the days and the weeks pass as Simon tries to prise open the memories Grace claims to have lost and reveals a life of love and betrayal, bitter poverty and brutal abuse, drawing the listener in to the rooms of Grace's mind.

Shortlisted for the 1996 Booker Prize.

Reviews:

“Diana Quick works miracles with Atwood’s dream-like prose and a cast of thoroughly unsympathetic nasties.”
