"1934. Businesses went under by the hundreds, debt and foreclosures boomed, and breadlines grew in many American cities. In the midst of this misery, some folks explored unscrupulous ways to make money. Angel-faced John Partlow and carnival huckster Ginger LaFrance are among the worst of this lot ... In a different part of town, Curtis Mayhew, a young black man who works as a redcap for the Union Railroad Station, has a reputation for mending quarrels and misunderstandings among his friends. What those friends don't know is that Curtis has a special talent for listening--and he can sometimes hear things that aren't spoken aloud"--Amazon.com.

valeriegeary My local indie bookseller was singing his praises to me the other day! Want to read this one soon! 5y
toofondofbooks I haven't read this but have read both Swan Song and Boy's Life this year and they were both 5 star reads for me. And I'm really stingy with my 5 stars lol 5y
Reggie I liked this but I had a big problem with it. One I think you‘ll see when you get to the end, maybe not. Other than the one big problem, I thought it was great. He‘s a great writer and this book still pulled my heart strings. Hope u like it!!! 5y

I‘m about to finish listening to “Daisy Jones & the Six” on audio (which is fantastic, by the way).

What should I listen to next?
Tag something NEW or kind-of obscure (otherwise, it‘s likely I‘ve read it already). Hint: don‘t tag anything by Proust. 😅

Thanks! 🙏🏻

Ashley_Nicoletto I‘m just finishing up this one on audio and I‘m loving it. It has multiple narrators, but it works. 5y
sprainedbrain I loved this one on audio, if you‘re feeling like some historical-fiction-fantasy with a lovely Scottish accent. 5y
EmilyM If you like YA, Sadie is excellent on audio. It has a full cast. 5y

It‘s about a kidnapping set during the early 1930‘s in New Orleans in the middle of the Great Depression. Two con artists find each other. A young black man with an extraordinary gift hears a cry for help. McCammon will surprise you with how a simple sentence or a paragraph, about a keen observation of his character‘s world that will heavily invest you into all of their outcomes. This was just a special book to me. Pick!!!

Sace Stacked. 5y
DivineDiana Once again, with just a few words, you have caused me to want to read this book! ❤️ 5y

I am 39 now but ever since I was 16 and read A Boy‘s Life and Gone South, I have loved you and your books. I am reading The Listener now and am still surprised out how compassionately you write towards all humans. How you are still able to reach into me, gently squeeze my heart, and make me cry. Thank you, Robert.

RadicalReader @Reggie so ultimately crazily creepy 5y

Of all the suspense audiobooks I‘ve listened to (suspense is the best genre for audio, in my opinion), this must be one of the best.

Andrea4 I love suspense on audio!!! 6y
