This is the story of how a private dectective "John Black" tracks down a sadistic psychiatric therapist turned serial killer. Set in New York City in 1946, it grapples with the mental illness we call depression. The main protagonist encounters many twists and turns as he delves into the tortured life of his new mystery girlfriend - who turns his life upside down.

On November 22, 1963, three shots rang out in Dallas, President Kennedy died, and the world changed. What if you could change it back? In this brilliantly conceived tour de force, Stephen King - who has absorbed the social, political, and popular culture of his generation more imaginatively and thoroughly than any other writer - takes listeners on an incredible journey into the past and the possibility of altering it.

Leland Gaunt opens a new shop in Castle Rock called Needful Things. Anyone who enters his store finds the object of his or her lifelong dreams and desires: a prized baseball card, a healing amulet. In addition to a token payment, Gaunt requests that each person perform a little "deed", usually a seemingly innocent prank played on someone else from town. These practical jokes cascade out of control, and soon the entire town is doing battle with itself. Only Sheriff Alan Pangborn suspects that Gaunt is behind the population's increasingly violent behavior.

Andy McGee and Vicky Tomlinson participated in a drug experiment run by a veiled government agency known as The Shop. One year later, they marry. Two years later, their little girl, Charlie, sets her teddy bear on fire by simply staring at it. Now that Charlie is eight, she doesn't start fires anymore. Her parents have taught her to control her pyrokinesis, the ability to set anything - toys, clothes, even people - aflame. But The Shop knows about and wants this pigtailed "ultimate weapon".

Not every crime is committed with intent, but each has one thing in common: The guilty party was asking for trouble. In "Making Ends Meet", Richard can’t stand the idea of supporting his deadbeat in-laws anymore, so he decides to remove them from his life - permanently. Matt is ready to reform his brawling ways, but the group he joins doesn’t turn out to be a typical 12-step program, in "The Taskmasters". "Protecting the Innocent" features Nick, who fails to heed the warnings of his girlfriend’s possessive brother....

Medical-school-dropout police detective Richelle Dadd is...well, dead. But that won't stop her from trying to hold on to her house in a divorce battle with a bitter husband. Or keep her from digging into her own murder, to discover who put the bullet into her heart. Or from coming to terms with her Gypsy heritage. And it certainly won't stand in the way of finding out the reason she's been reanimated as a zombie assassin, no longer in control of her life.

Narrator brings this story to life!
What made the experience of listening to Swings and Roundabouts the most enjoyable?
The narrator did an absolutely outstanding job! The story was okay, but Al did such an excellent job that he took this book from good to great!
Have you listened to any of A.T. Al Benelli’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
This is the first book I listened to Al narrate. He did such an excellent job I'll be on the look out for his next work.

Like a Humphrey Bogart "short"...
Would you consider the audio edition of Swings and Roundabouts to be better than the print version?
Yes... but then again I prefer audiobooks that are "performed" well, as this one was. I look for books that are read like a "play" or movie where characters are given distinct voices and personalities. I can set the scenes in my mind and identify individuals more easily. I'm a big fan of this narrator and have listened to nearly all his books.
What other book might you compare Swings and Roundabouts to and why?
"The Old Man and the King" by Joe Corso. Different setting, but the same type of storyline... mystery, drama, murder, intrigue. Another one narrated, or should I say performed by A.T. Al Benelli.
What does A.T. Al Benelli bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
See above... It's about the performance! I'm old enough to remember the radio shows of the 50"s and 60's like Inner Sanctum and Amos & Andy. Good audiobooks take me back to those days where the action is performed and you built the stage or setting in your head. This was such a book with a good story and a performance to match.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes... And I did. I listened to it in one afternoon, poolside. Only took breaks to refresh my gin & tonic... often!
Any additional comments?
I have listened to a lot of this narrators books. I knew him when he was a stage actor doing summer stock in Pennsylvania. An impressive range of voices!
