About this audiobook
In the Coronado National Monument, an elderly couple's car is driven off the side of a mountain. Hours later and miles away, the subsiding rain reveals two trash bags containing human remains. It's just another day in the life of Cochise County Sheriff Joanna Brady.
The remains are those of a handicapped woman who wandered away from a care facility with a suspicious track record. Another resident, with whom the woman may have been involved, has also been reported missing.
Meanwhile, a note is found in the glove compartment of the car lying twisted down the mountainside, stating that its occupants intended to take their lives. Yet a contradictory autopsy report surfaces, and when the deceased's two daughters show up to feud over their inheritance, Joanna knows there is more to this case than just a suicide pact. And she will go all out to find the truth—no matter where it leads.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Damage Control is the 6th book in the Alan Craik series, and far and away the best, beating out even Top Hook which prior to this I regarded as the best book in the series. From the opening pages this book is action filled and gripping dealing with an organised group of Hindu environmentalist fanatics who have there eyes on starting an apocalypse in order to save the earth from humankind's destructive ways.This group manages to perform a successful mutiny and slink away with not only a Kilo class submarine, but numerous Indian naval destroyers. When the mutinied submarine is spotted by an out of place and unexpected US Navy aeroplane they shoot it down then launch an attack on a nearby US aircraft carrier to cover up their actions and keep the US Navy out of action.Intermingled is a few interesting subplots that provide further character development in the series such as where we see Mike Dukas's character develop further with Leslie, long time support character Rafe steps once again into a pivotal role in the plot. A slimy and unlikable political animal within the Admiral's flag agitates for personal gain and we find out more of Harry O'Neill's background and some of the reasons he was able to go from retired CIA agent to powerful security consultant.All in all, it's an excellent action filled narrative that doesn't stray far into the absurd but rather keeps to a rather realistic portray of events utilising military technology, systems and techniques of the time it was written (2005)

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I really enjoyed this book. Essays by women about our crazy maintenance. Men have it easy...shower and shave. Women have: shower, shave, color, pluck, exfoliate, etc. We require so much to feel like "ourselves" or our best selves, this book captures some of the reasons that we do these things. Or some of the things we think as we do these things. Very insightful.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I love reading about how other people look at themselves, what they like, what they dislike and this book didn't disappoint me. Stories about hair cuts gone bad, reflexology on a hypochondriac, the beauty rituals of Arab women and that brazilian bikini waxes are alot more common than I'd ever thought! Fun, quick read.
