• FREE -- The Horror of the Heights -- Arthur Conan Doyle, Simon Jones / ??? hrs --> Fiction

I'd offer you a synopsis, but there doesn't seem to be one. The cover does mention that the title includes an introduction by Steven King and includes a short story from "Fight or Flight," an anthology edited by Stephen King and Bev Vincent. The book is available for pre-order and will be available August 21.

Enjoy!

Thanks

Audible works just fine, but Audiobooks.com doesn't have a download option and I don't have it in my library. I'm assuming they only had a limited number they were giving away.

Audiobooks.com is only acceptable if you have an Android device and the app. As to the limits, fortunately this isn't JIAM.

It appears that WalMart is now selling audiobooks (and ebooks). Partnered with Kobo? https://www.kobo.com/us/en/p/aboutwalmartebooks
Audiobooks are $10 per month first month free. It appears you have to use a WalMart ebook app I'm assuming not DRM free.
Oh, almost forgot... If you sign up you can get $10 off an audiobook or ebook priced over $10.

Audiobooks.com limited their June freebies to the first 500 downloaders. Not cool, IMHO, but if their suppliers held them to that not their fault.

In the Woods --> Dublin Murder Squad Series (book 1 of 6)

As dusk approaches a small Dublin suburb in the summer of 1984, mothers begin to call their children home. But on this warm evening, three children do not return from the dark and silent woods. When the police arrive, they find only one of the children gripping a tree trunk in terror, wearing blood-filled sneakers, and unable to recall a single detail of the previous hours.

Twenty years later, the found boy, Rob Ryan, is a detective on the Dublin Murder Squad and keeps his past a secret. But when a twelve-year-old girl is found murdered in the same woods, he and Detective Cassie Maddox—his partner and closest friend—find themselves investigating a case chillingly similar to the previous unsolved mystery. Now, with only snippets of long-buried memories to guide him, Ryan has the chance to uncover both the mystery of the case before him and that of his own shadowy past.

Richly atmospheric, stunning in its complexity, and utterly convincing and surprising to the end, In the Woods is sure to enthrall fans of Mystic River and The Lovely Bones.

Thanks. Googling gave me Joint Institute for Advanced Materials, Japan International Asset Management, and Jesus Is Alive Ministries, none of which quite seemed to fit!

YW - when I Google unknown terms, I add a word after the term to help describe it. For JIAM, I would Google "JIAM books". That would eliminate the mess you encountered.

But I didn't know it was about books. I thought it was just one more bit of Internet usage with which I'm unfamiliar, like IOW, which I just learned today.

I just updated the list of free audiobooks from Audible. There are currently 68 titles in this list. They're broken down into groups based upon length and alphabetized within those groups.

If you know of any free books not on this list, let me know and I'll add them.

Thanks, tm
