Hachette Audio has offered an amazing giveaway and has invited She is Too Fond of Books to be part of it (lucky me! and you!). Hachette will give audiobooks of Josh Bazell’s Beat the Reaper to three winners who comment on this post (details at the bottom of post).
This just-published book by a debut novelist is getting a lot of great buzz; here’s the publisher’s synopsis:
Meet Peter Brown, a young Manhattan emergency room doctor with an unusual past that is just about to catch up with him. His morning begins with the quick disarming of a would-be mugger, followed by a steamy elevator encounter with a sexy young pharmaceutical rep, topped off by a visit with a new patient – and from there Peter’s day is going to get a whole lot worse and a whole lot weirder. Because that patient knows Peter from his other life, when he had a different name and a very different job. The only reason he’s a doctor now is thanks to the Witness Protection Program-and even they can’t protect him from the long reach of the New Jersey mob. Now he’s got to do whatever it takes to keep his patient alive so he can buy some time…and beat the reaper.
Manhattan … Witness Protection Program … “steamy elevator encounter” … Beat the Reaper has a great setting, an action-packed thriller and a bit of a romantic component. Looks like a great combination to me!

I love novels with doctors in them. I thought Gregg Hurwitz “Do No Harm”, as well as his other 6 books, was pretty darn thrilling. Thanks for entering me.
I just finished Patricia Cornwell’s latest, “Scarpetta”–loved it!
A Room With Dark Mirrors by Velda Johnston— more suspense than thriller, but I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Steven King’s Desperation
Thanks a Bunch!
London Bridges by James Patterson — understandable an older one, but one I recently heard.
I LOVE all James Patterson. My favorite is Cradle and All!

This sounds like a really fun book! I’m not really an audiobook person but I’m going to add this to my “books I need to read” list. Sounds like fun!
And I just wanted to tell you how much I cracked up over your comment on my “good book light.” that was so funny!
I dont read thrillers too often but my husband is a fan and he’d love this. He drives 40 minutes each way to work so audiobooks are wonderful for him!
I’ve posted this on Win A Book. No need to enter the contest.
Well. You got double-posted today! Do we love you at Win a Book, or WHAT???
A thriller I loved: Greg Iles, 24 Hours. That was a fun one.
Oh, and don’t enter me. I can’t do audio; I forget I’m supposed to be actively listening, and I start playing with Trevor and company…
Sounds like a fun read…I’d love to give it a listen!
I enjoy Patricia Cornwell and recently read Predator!
Thriller I’ve like was Dan Brown’s Da Vinci Code and Angels & Demons. His others didn’t quite stand out as much, for whatever reason.. Have a good week!
I enjoyed Third Degree by Greg Iles.
I would have to say “With Red Hands”.
I honestly haven’t read a good Thriller in a while. The last one I read was Iris Johansen’s Pandora’s Daughter. A fun book. Please enter me. Thanks! Sararush (at) hotmail (dot) com.
I loved “The Blade Itself” by Marcus Sakey. It’s an amazing read.
What’s not to love in this title? My ipod and I thank you for another great contest.
The last 1 I read was Predator.
I’m trying to win this one so I’d love to be entered. My latest favorite thriller was Blood Sins by Kay Hooper. Thanks for a great giveaway Dawn.

Thanks for the offer!

I would love to win this audiobook. Thank you for the giveaway. The last thriller novel I read and enjoyed is Killing Spree by Kevin O’Brien.
I would love to win this for my mother, who is suffering from Alzheimers and can’t read anymore. This would surely entertain her for a while; she would be very happy to receive this! (me too as I would for sure listen to it while I was doing something around the house)
Thanks so much!
I’m fond of Linwood Barclay. His last two books: Too Close To Home and No Time For Goodbye were great! :0)
I have heard a lot of good things about Beat The Reaper and would love to win, so count me in. Thanks!
Definitely Living Dead in Dallas. It was loads of fun.
Most recently read thriller: Turing’s Delirium, by Edmundo Paz Soldan.
Found your blog via LibraryThing.
When I think of a thriller that I loved the first two that pop into mind are Heartsick and Sweetheart by Chelsea Cain although there are others.
I just finished reading Dean Koontz-Night Chills
Although I love all the Douglas Preston/Lincoln Child books — my favorite was Cabinet of Curiosities.

Thrillers are my favorite genre! I’m right in the middle of The Brass Verdict and it’s great so far.
Hi -
