Who out there listens to audio books? I have to confess that I don't...unless I'm on a looooong automobile trip. And, my loooooong, I mean 7 hours or so.
After stuffing our faces with breakfast burritos, chugging latte's, and small-talking for an hour or so, my husband and I popped in the the CD version of
Love
In A Nutshell, by
Janet Evanovich and
Dorien Kelley, on our way north for Christmas. Although not his "cup of tea," we both enjoyed this
lighthearted mystery/romance.
There is no doubt Kate Appleton was better off when her
marriage ended. (In my opinion, her ex was a jerk! After battling Kate for
custody of their poodle, he abandoned Stella at the whim of his new
girlfriend.) Losing her job, however, as a magazine editor…not so good.
How could she have guessed that moving back to her childhood
home in Michigan would lead to a new career and stint as a private investigator
for Matt Cullhane, the good-looking owner of Depot Brewery? Even Kate's dislike
of beer and allergy to hops didn't slow her down.
The novel is fast-paced, and the main
characters are developed to the point that Kate, Matt, and their canine
companions seem like old friends at the end.
The narration by
Lorelei King is pleasing, crisp, and easy
to follow. My only complaint is that Ms. King's
doggy diction borders on silly. Her
"woofs" definitely need
work. LOL!
That said,
Love In A Nutshell is an enjoyable,
recommended read.
