Some mistakes turn out very good!.

Revisado: 09-18-20

For some reason, I thought this was a loose historical fiction about Betty Boop (the comic character). I know. Rereading the summary, the mistake was all mine, and while it isn't about Betty Book, it is a good listen!

And the Adventures Continue!

Revisado: 11-14-16

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes. It is too good of an entertaining series not to recommend.

Who was your favorite character and why?

I love Shelby for her humor, her loyalty, her quick thinking and her dedication to her friends and family.

What about Wendy Tremont King’s performance did you like?

Everything! Ms King and Ms Helme are a perfect fit with this series. Ms. King does a fantastic job keeping voices consistent over all nine books and keeping each characters voice distinctive and recognizable throughout the nine book series.

Any additional comments?

This is the 9th book in the Shelby Nichols Adventure series and I hope Ms. Helme doesn't run out of adventures for Shelby and the gang any time soon!

This series is a light-hearted mystery/ suspense with likable and lovable characters, including the local mob boss and his hired gun! I thoroughly and completely like this series for its humor and the curious ways Shelby seems to attract trouble. This series is a great escape.

Shelby is a stay-at-home mom of two teens and an attorney's wife with the enviable ability to read people's minds. "Enviable", of course, is a matter dependent on the situation! Shelby uses her nearly secret talent to help the police solve current and cold cases, help the mob boss find out who's telling the truth and who's not, and help clients of her newly-created consulting agency. In this episode, everyone is hiding a little something and it's Shelby's good (or not-so-good) fortune to figure things out -- from solving the ten-year-old missing kids case, to finding the real diamond stealing double-crosser and helping Uncle Joey's son break the news to his dad that he's in his high school play/musical.

I am not certain there is another author/narrator duo as well-matched as Ms Helme and Wendy Tremont King. Ms King is beautifully consistent between all nine books and is excellent in keeping each character's voice distinctive and identifiable.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, Ms. Helme! I thoroughly loved sinking into this Shelby Nichols Adventure and I am (maybe-not-so) patiently waiting for book #10.

A worthwhile P&P Variation/

Revisado: 10-11-16

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

There are many, many P&P variations out there. This was well done. Plain and simple.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, but I would want to listen and read all P&P variations in one sitting! I love P&P and truly enjoy Austen fan fiction to read other's take on plausible variations. I don't like when authors change P&P characters a lot -- somethings must be maintained as Miss Austen originally created!

Interesting, but forgetable.

Revisado: 10-11-16

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

I probably would recommend this book -- I liked Jonathon and REALLY enjoyed Esther. This is a light-hearted read, entertaining and somewhat unexpected. The plot development and the character development was well-timed to keep the story moving forward and maintaining interest.

If you’ve listened to books by Gary Jonas before, how does this one compare?

I have not listened to any other books of Gary Jonas'.

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

Yes. I'd love to see Esther!

An Eye Opener

Revisado: 10-11-16

Would you try another book from Jami Rodman and/or Teri Schnaubelt?

Maybe -- this was a bit shocking. My only hesitation would be whether I can read/listen to another by this author and remain unbiased from this one.

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

I wouldn't. I am not an author and have no insight to provide areas for "improvement".

Would you consider the audio edition of Forgotten to be better than the print version?

I haven't read the printed version, but this is a good story.

Emma -- she's funny and "real"; at least she seems like she is easily a person in the real world I could be friends with.

Have you listened to any of Kristi Burns’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I have listened to Spin and Kristi Burns does a great job.

This is my first Shannon McMannus book. I've had the kindle version for a long time, but simply didn't make time. I'm glad to have had a chance to listen to the book.
