MURDER AT THE FLAMINGO Van Buren and DeLuca, Book 1

In 1930s Boston, two young people, Reggie and Hamish, join together to investigate a murder in a glitzy nightclub. Narrator Kristin James does a superb job of projecting the excitement of this mystery and the journey of self-discovery that the pair find themselves undertaking. James's narration helps add depth to the broad cast of characters, who include the cream of Boston society and others from the seedier side of life. Her pitch-perfect performance, with spot-on characterizations, highlights the juxtaposition of the sometimes-naïve enthusiasm of Reggie and Hamish and the world-weary views of those around them.
