Dave riding shotgun, still no carpool.



Backstory

Riding along with Dave, lead character in my audiobook doesn't qualify for carpool even though he is my constant companion on my commute.

Last name?

mzejay says,

Dave Robicheaux from the James Lee Burke series.

L2L3 says,

I knew it! I love his writing. Love. The descriptiveness Is amazing. I especially enjoy how he makes greater points than those usually found in popular fiction, I could go on... My favorite, partly be ause of the title is "In the Electric Mist with Confederate Dead."
Sigh...;-D

L2L3 says,

The Elvis Cole series by Robert Crais translates well into recorded books. Do you know about the Cracker Barrel rental system?

mzejay says,

I'll give that series a try. Thanks for the suggestion. I hadn't heard of the Cracker Barrel rentals. Is that at the Cracker Barrel stores? I borrow my audio books from the library.

L2L3 says,

Cracker Barrel is really convenient for trips. They have a good selection of recent titles. You purchase the book n CD for the full retail price but if you return it within 7 days, with the receipt, they refund you the full amount minus a $3.50 rental fee. For each week you go over the initil 7 days they take an additional $3.50 off the refund. Libraries are notorious for their long waits for really popular books. Sometimes I rent from Cracker Barrel just to avoid waiting two months to get it from the library.
