Two new mystery cd packages by famous authors paired with notable narrators are highly recommended choices for mystery fans. Rex Stout's The League Of Frightened Men (1572704047, $34.95) receives veteran narrator Michael Prichard's smooth and evocative voice: especially meaningful as Prichard has been the choice for the prior Stout audios and the uniformity of readers means prior fans have a smooth, uninterrupted enjoyment of both writer and reader. This Nero Wolfe mystery revolves around a former classmate who may be murdering off a group of Harvard alumni. Agatha Christie's Destination Unknown (2672404004, $29.95) receives Emilia Fox's warm voice and presentation as it tells of a beautiful but bereft young woman about to end it all until a British agent intervenes, bringing romance and a dangerous mission into her life. A dangerous mission and a new zest for life evolve. Both are compelling thrillers enhanced by the audio listening experience.
