VERA KELLY IS NOT A MYSTERY Vera Kelly, Book 2

Elisabeth Rodgers gives a low-voiced, pitch-perfect narration of this character-driven mystery set in the 1960s. Vera Kelly is going through a rough patch after losing her girlfriend and her job in the same week. She decides to open her own P.I. firm, and her first case involves the missing child of Dominican exiles. Vera's search leads her through the New York City foster care system to a glamorous estate in the Dominican Republic. Rodgers's voice sounds like it was transported right out of the 1960s; she captures all of Vera's brash determination and cool nonchalance. Her narration is by turns rough and silky, vulnerable and aloof as Vera attempts to put her life back together by solving a mystery and embarking on a new relationship.
