App Description
Grim Reaper's Dance by Judy Clemens (unabridged) is presented by Blackstone Audio and comes with what is perhaps the best audiobook app available (see FEATURES, below).
Gilbert gives Casey just the right note of pluck despite her vulnerability….Filled with quirky characters (including the sympathetic Casey) and small-town charm, this will be popular with the cozy crowd.
Casey and Death have hitched a desperate ride away from disaster only to have the semitruck they are riding in crash. Before he dies, the trucker whispers to Casey about a stash hidden in the truck, a collection of information pointing to some kind of conspiracy, and warns her to keep it away from “them.”
Self-contained, this audiobook app is perfect for your commute, on a trip, or while relaxing. Based on a library-quality recording, this app was built especially for your iPhone and iPod Touch. No unreadable text, no endless scrolling on a tiny screen. The audio is of higher-than-normal quality, making for a great listening experience that will not tire your ears or grate on your nerves.
NOTICE: This app includes the exact same 5-star recording offered elsewhere at much higher prices. It was professionally recorded by Blackstone Audio’s Earphones®-winning narrator, Tavia Gilbert. You are not buying yet another amateur or volunteer narration. No clicks, background noises, throat clearing, mispronunciations, tinny voices or monotones will be found here.
•EXPERIENCE. About 7.5 hours of narration. Created as a Folium enhancedAudio™ edition, this book includes extra functions and features not found on lesser players.
•PLAYER CONTROLS. Includes listen (play), pause, multi-speed fast forward/reverse, jump ahead/back, chapter skip, volume control, one-touch chapter- and bookmark browser. There is also a “scrub” bar that finds any point inside the chapter with just a tap.
•SLEEP TIMER. Have you ever fallen asleep watching TV or listening to a book? If so, you'll love this feature. Once set, the book will stop, place a bookmark, and allow you to jump back to where you probably began dozing.
•CLEAR & ELEGANT DESIGN. Simple, clean, intuitive, and smarter than average.
•CHAPTER TIMINGS. Always know how much time it will take to finish a chapter. Plus, the progress bar at the top of the screen shows how far into the book you’ve come.
•OFFLINE LISTENING. You are airplane-ready! Once downloaded, listen uninterrupted without threat from a lost network connection. Downloads are usually just 5-10 minutes, but depend upon your network speed.
•AUTO-BOOKMARKING. The player remembers where you stopped listening and returns to that exact spot when you open the book again.
•TELL-A-FRIEND. An easy way to recommend the book to your friends or Twitter feed.
•FEEDBACK. Share your ideas for books, functions, and features. We are very responsive to our listeners and appreciate all feedback and ideas.
RATING: Suitable for Adults interested in quirky mysteries.

Casey Maldonado and Death have hitched a desperate ride away from one disaster only to find themselves in the middle of another. The semitruck they are traveling in crashes, and before the Grim Reaper takes Evan the Trucker away, Evan whispers to Casey about a stash hidden in the truck that she should keep away from “them.”
The stash turns out to be photos, truck manifests, and other information pointing Casey toward something big and complicated. Whether it’s conspiracy, smuggling, or blackmail, she can’t be sure. Uncertain how to proceed, she is led by Death to a group of teenagers looking for something other than dust and crops to fill their days and nights. Using their limited resources, she finds her way into a maze of greed and desperation—and into the clutches of people who don’t care who gets hurt, as long as they get what they want.
