Full Bloom by Janet Evanovich and Charlette Hughes

Vic February 27th, 2008

Full Bloom is the fifth book in Janet Evanovich and Charlotte Hughes's "Full" series and is narrated by Lorelei King.fullbloom.jpg

This steamy romantic mystery takes place in Beaumont, South Carolina and is centered around Annie Fortenberry, who just inherited her grandmother's B&B and a handsome Harley-riding visitor.

Just as things are really heating up a body is discovered in Annie's garden that turns out to be her philandering husband and all the evidence points to Annie as the killer.

Now it's up to Annie to find the real killer, and get back to where she was in the arms of her loving biker.

It's a fun book to listen to and you may be surprised by the ending.

Review of Lisey’s Story by Author Stephen King…Read by Mare Winningham

Stephen King
Read by Mare Winningham

Mystery & Suspense
Unabridged
19 hrs.

 

Two years into widowhood, Lisa “Lisey” Landon believes she’s getting on with her life. But her sister’s psychotic episode forces Lisa to confront her own past and present in a new way. Mare Winningham sounds convincing in Lisey’s first-person narration, conveying longing, sadness, and anger in varying tones of subtlety and force. She shades her voice slightly to portray Lisey’s sisters and late husband, maintaining distinct characterizations for all. For the secondary characters, Winningham attempts both Maine and Pittsburgh accents, neither of which portrays its proper region. Given her choice not to use regionalisms for the protagonists from these areas, one wishes she had remained consistent with their relatives. R.L.L. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine
