LEE In the Company of Snipers, Vol. 12

Make no mistake--despite its setting being war-torn Afghanistan, this frenetic audiobook is first and foremost a love story. It features a scarred ex-Marine and the audacious "Cat Burglar of Kabul." Winters's latest volume in this enduring series centers on Lee Hart, whose last mission for a team of mercenaries finds him protecting, and falling for, sexy, bighearted thief Tess Culver. Narrator Troy Duran's voice, which sounds like 10 miles of bad road, is perfect for Lee and the other macho fighters. Surprisingly, he's equally believable as the sassy Tess, whose secrets, including her connection to the complex Taliban sniper Mohammed, come out at the worst possible time. Duran drives this propulsive ride, packed with danger and intrigue. D.E.M. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine [Published: FEBRUARY 2021]
