À propos de ce contenu audio
Dead Man’s Pose is a tension-reliever in yoga. Not this time!
A spirited yoga teacher teams up with a dark horse partner (determined to right wrongs); and together they seek closure on the sudden and mysterious death of a friend.
Throw in a cast of quirky characters that includes a savvy outback detective, an eccentric academic, a highly observant (but sight-challenged) witness, an exotic hairdresser, a Falstaffian nomad, crooked officials, and some assorted mob thugs.
Add some heat between the investigators, plus Ric’s wry humour and Elaina’s smart dialogue, while they both tumble into chase scenes to avoid sharks, cruise through a darkened saloon and conduct late-night spying on a ‘high roller’ that floats.
Combine that with word pictures of Sydney, one of the world’s most picturesque cities (which also has sleazy backstreets and a gummy web of intrigue), and you have the cocktail mix of Dead Man’s Pose.
It’s a jigger of Agatha Christie’s compelling plotline; adding two parts of Cherringham Murder Mysteries; shake in the backdrop of Sydney, Australia which acts as another character and garnish with the mood and tempo of a Michael Connelly’s clue-packed charge. Dead Man’s Pose has all the classic hallmarks of a whodunit genre…but presented as a gin fizz romantic mystery with extra fizz.
Your Dead Man’s Pose audiobook is just a click away. Hungry for more? Dead Man’s Pose is first in the Yoga Mat Mysteries’ line-up. Second in the series (now online) is Cobra Pose. Next will be Tree Pose!

"Dead Man’s Pose: Yoga Mat Mysteries by Susan Rogers and John Roosen is a superb work of crime fiction with a gentle touch of clean romance. The story takes us to Sydney, Australia, where we meet Elaina Williams, a yoga teacher. Elaina is just about to start her yoga class when Mario Vincenzi, Elaina’s yoga student, wants to tell her something important. Elaina suggests that they talk after the session, but at the end of the lesson, she finds Mario dead on his yoga mat. Feeling that she owes it to Mario to find out the cause of his death, Elaina joins forces with Ric, a well-connected professional photographer who is also Elaina’s yoga student. Before long, Elaina and Ric find themselves in a perilous maze of adventures leading them to jaw-dropping discoveries. But will they succeed? As a fan of crime fiction, suspense thrillers, and adventures, I never had a dull moment listening to Dead Man’s Pose by Susan Rogers and John Roosen. I enjoyed the scenic landscapes of Sydney and the depth to which Susan and John portrayed the characters, making them relatable and memorable. I also enjoyed a taster of Cobra Pose, the second book in the series, thoughtfully included at the end. But most of all I liked the suspenseful plot enhanced by the sophisticated subterfuge of Elaina and Ric’s investigation and how the erudite horizons of the authors translated into a variety of themes, ranging from yoga poses to insights into casino operations and Michelangelo's paintings. All in all, listening to this audiobook was highly rewarding for me as a “reader.” This audiobook was narrated by Rupert Degas, an award-winning British-Australian actor who excelled in the brilliant job of bringing this captivating story to life. The sound quality is excellent, and Rupert’s distinct and well-paced narration is enriched with awesome professional acting that clearly distinguishes the characters by their accents, professional and cultural backgrounds, and emotions. Listening to this audiobook made me feel as if I were watching a film, with the added privilege of the freedom to imagine how the characters looked and felt, aided by Rupert’s top-class performance. I am delighted that Cobra Pose, the second book of the series, is also narrated by Rupert, and I look forward to my reunion with Elaina and Ric." (Olga Markova, Readers’ Favorite)
