DIRTY MINDS The Lion and the Mouse Series, Book 4

Tension runs high in this audiobook, delivered by two narrators. Ellis Evans portrays Kazimir, a Russian mob boss who is combing Paris to find his kidnapped girlfriend, Emily. Shari Peele portrays Emily, who tries every trick in the book to escape Kazimir's enemy, Jean Pierre (The Corsican). Evans utilizes Russian, French, and American accents as Kazimir's people strategize their counterattacks and makes Kazimir himself sound as remote and ruthless as his character suggests. Peele voices the ingenious Emily with a straightforward practicality. For Jean Pierre, she switches to a French accent and a tone that is breezy yet unmistakably deadly. Both narrators succeed in building the suspense. Whether you've enjoyed the other stories in Wright's interracial Russian mafia series or start here, Evans and Peele will keep your heart pounding.
