Resumen del Editor
Lena, the transcriptionist, sits alone in a room far away from the hum of the newsroom that is the heart of the Record, the big city newspaper for which she works. For years, she has been the ever-present link for reporters calling in stories from around the world. Hooked up to a machine that turns spoken words to print, Lena is the vein that connects the organs of the paper. She is loyal, she is unquestioning, yet technology is dictating that her days there are numbered.
When she reads a shocking piece in the paper about a Jane Doe mauled to death by a lion, she recognizes the woman in the picture. They had met on a bus just a few days before. Obsessed with understanding what caused the woman to deliberately climb into the lion’s den, Lena begins a campaign for truth that will destroy the Record's complacency and shake the venerable institution to its very foundation. In doing so she also recovers a life - her own.

KOKO. Only four men knew what it meant. Now they must stop it. They are Vietnam vets — a doctor, a lawyer, a working stiff, and a writer. Very different from each other, they are nonetheless linked by a shared history and a single shattering secret. Now, they have been reunited and are about to embark on a quest that will take them from Washington, D.C., to the graveyards and fleshpots of the Far East to the human jungle of New York.

Historia
It is three days before Christmas, and two young girls have disappeared from the local academy. This hasn't happened for 15 years, since Rouge Kendall's twin sister was murdered. The killer was found, but now Rouge, 25 and a policeman, is forced to wonder: was he really the one? Also wondering is a former classmate named Ali Cray, a forensic psychologist with scars of her own. The pattern is the same, she says: a child called out to meet a friend.

Historia
In this offering from Morris Award finalist Stephanie Oakes, three riveting points of view are woven together in a story that's part historical mystery, part contemporary coming-of-age, and completely unputdownable. When Molly gets a package leading her to Pepper, they're tasked with solving a decades-old mystery: find out who killed Ava back in 1989. Using Ava's diary for clues, Molly and Pepper realize there's more to her life - and death - than meets the eye. Someone is lying to them. And someone out there is guiding them along, desperate for answers.

Like a New Yorker short story
This is a skillfully-written slip of a story, carefully stuffed with semi-obscure literary references and allusions (don't worry--the author spells them all out for you, you dumb --er, I mean Dear-- Reader).
The narrator/protagonist Lena is likable because she's like what all us close readers imagine ourselves to be: intellectual, introverted, full of quotes from stuff we read and memorized, but also super-sexy and rebellious on the inside.
Rowland uses such fresh language and narration that, prose-wise there's not a cliche to be found anywhere-- until you get to the basic plot, which is so predictable and corny we have to ask ourselves if it's an ironic literary device, because, seriously, are you kidding me?
But overall this was a pleasurable listen for me--but then I like New Yorker short stories a lot.
And Xe Sands narrates this in just the voice I would conjure for Lena--she's well-cast and delivers brilliantly.

Pretty good story - "inside your head"
What made the experience of listening to The Transcriptionist the most enjoyable?
This is not a book I normally would read, but I passed by it in the bookstore at the right time. The title called out to me as I did a LOT of transcribing for my documentary and my first book, and the transcribing process, while brutal was memorable. So I picked up the audiobook and listened to it on my commute during the week.
I could relate to some of the thoughts that fill your head while you are listening to other people talk over and over...
Who was your favorite character and why?
I guess Lena since we were in her head the most
Which character – as performed by Xe Sands – was your favorite?
I got a kick out of Xe's portrayal of Russell... Just kinda a dopey character LOL
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
No extreme reactions other than getting mad over a too simple solution - a door in NYC just happened to be unlocked?
I did have a "wow thats me" moment when Lena mentioned she was worried the tape was spooling out of her mouth...
Any additional comments?
Xe Sands was a great performance, but she has a nuance of going soft on the last word of a sentence in Lena's character that was hard to understand
Also, I didnt understand the Mountain Lion sub-plot... Did it get resolved? Why was it in there?

Complete drivel!
The narrator is completely annoying. There is no story and no point. A definite one to skip. A real disappointment.

Odd, but good!
About a quarter of the way through this book, I almost put it down, thinking life is too short to spend in other peoples' depression. However, since I was reading it for a book club, I decided to soldier on. I'm glad it did. I will not say how it ended, but the ending brought a certain serenity and symmetry to it all.
