Aubrey knows what she saw: a boy being taken against his will from the park. It doesn’t matter that the mother can’t be found. It doesn’t matter if no one reported it. Aubrey knows he’s missing. When the police refuse to believe her, she realizes that rescuing the boy is up to her alone.

Story
Regulars at Nadia’s nature lodge don’t ask what she does in the off-season. And that’s a good thing. If she told them, she’d have to kill them. She’s a hit woman for a Mafia family. Tough and self-sufficient, Nadia doesn’t owe anyone any explanations. But that doesn’t mean she always works alone. One of her contacts has recruited her in the hunt for a ruthlessly efficient serial killer cutting a swath of terror across the country. The assassin is far too skilled to be an amateur - and the precision of the killings is bringing the Feds much too close to the hit man community for comfort.

Thirty-nine was a fantastic year. I was married to the man I loved. I had a body that worked without creaking. My grandma, who raised me, was still healthy, and life was pretty damned good. But as they say, all good things come to an end. One year later, I’m a widow. My joints are starting to ache. Gram is in the nursing home, and dead people think my home is some kind of supernatural bed-and-breakfast. Gluing body parts onto semi-transparent people has become a side job - deceased people I’m not even sure are actually there.

All the stories were very entertaining. I was hoping for more stories about Olivia and Grabriel's adventures after Rituals. Maybe that's still to come. ;-)

Might be better to read than to listen...
These stories are all a part of the Cainesville tales: some are better than others. I particularly liked the young Gabriel tales.
What I did not like were some of the readers: I found the 2 who read the last tale, the Ricky & Olivia tale particularly grating. These are not the readers who read the novels, but I’m not sure that’s the problem. At any rate, I found it distracting enough that I had a hard time focusing on the story. I might just end up re-reading it on Kindle.

A reasonable read
I’ve read many of KA collections but chose this to introduce me to this one, as I’d read it’s the chronological order. The stories are good, but by starting on this one a lacked a little context maybe I’ll pick up as I read the novels. Being welsh I loved the idea that it’s central to the mythology. I was very disappointed by the female narrators accent. Was clearly Scottish most of the time. I am looking forward though to reading the other books.
