BRING ME THE HEAD OF ANNE BOLEYN

Does the family quarrel over which audiobook to buy for a car trip? Choose one of Dove's themed short story collections, like this anthology of historical mysteries. There's something to everyone's taste, and there's no commitment to slogging through a whole novel. This set includes standard whodunits, psychological thrillers and even O. Henry's comical and hardly mysterious THE RANSOM OF RED CHIEF. All of them make good listening. The 11 authors include Howard Pyle, Anne Perry and Stuart M. Kaminsky. All of the performers are well cast; especially notable are Joe Barrett in Jack London's "The Sun-Dog Trail," Patrick Macnee in Gillian Linscott's "Poison Peach," and Juliet Mills in the title story by Kristine Kathryn Rusch.
