Imagine spending eternity with your backside hanging out! That’s what Emma Whitecastle and Granny Apples can’t help but think when they meet the ghost of Tessa North frolicking in the surf off Cataline Island. Tessa, a young starlet who died on the island in the 1960s wearing nothing but a polka-dot bikini, won’t cross over until “Curtis” comes for her. To help the winsome, bikini-clad spirit, Emma and Granny must find out who Curtis is and how Tessa died.

This is a true sequel, in the sense...

A most entertaining read
Revisado: 10-16-19
Thoroughly enjoyed the story, even though I hadn't had the opportunity read Book 1. Thankfully got just enough past history that I don't feel like I was missing anything. Narrator was very good -- change of character voices added to the charm of the story. I can highly recommend this book and look forward to heard more about the adventures of Fancy Pants and her Granny Ghost!

Detective Sergeant Barbara Havers is at a loss: The daughter of her friend Taymullah Azhar has been taken by her mother, and Barbara can't really help - Azhar had never married Angelina, and his name isn't on Hadiyyah's, their daughter's, birth certificate. He has no legal claim. Azhar and Barbara hire a private detective, but the trail goes cold. Azhar is just beginning to accept his soul-crushing loss when Angelina reappears with shocking news: Hadiyyah is missing, kidnapped from an Italian marketplace.

Long-time listner, first-time reviewer

If you could sum up Just One Evil Act in three words, what would they be?
Engagingly complicated story
What was one of the most memorable moments of Just One Evil Act?
Havers viewing the videotape
What about Davina Porter’s performance did you like?
Best I can do is the horridly overused word "Awesome".
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No.
Any additional comments?
Based on other reviews, I almost passed this one by. Then I saw Ms. George on a show about authors & books (Well Read) and changed my mind. So glad I did. I'm just hoping that the author will soon address the underlying mystery involving the death of Inspector Lynley's wife.

Fifteen-year-old Christopher Boone has Asperger's Syndrome, a condition similar to autism. He doesn't like to be touched or meet new people, he cannot make small talk, and he hates the colors brown and yellow. He is a math whiz with a very logical brain who loves solving puzzles that have definite answers.

Compelling story
Revisado: 12-06-12
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I would recommend this story, particularly to anyone is who is familiar with, or has in their family, someone with Ausberger's syndrome. I appreciated that no character, including Christopher, was romanticized. The author showed you their dilemma from all angles, including the parents who were struggling to balance their lives. I wanted to dislike Christopher's parents, but could not get past my sympathies for both. They so desparately needed the help of a professional.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Christopher. Although he would not welcome it, you just wanted to hug him as he struggled with situations that he knew quite well were beyond him.
Have you listened to any of Jeff Woodman’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I have not, but enjoyed his performance very much
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Both.
