SLOW BURN

Three pretty sisters, Southern belles all, deal with death threats, romance, and an unexpected inheritance in this agreeable romantic thriller. Joyce Bean's polished narration kicks the whole thing up a notch. The cute sisters are given distinct and entertaining vocal qualities that nicely reflect their personalities and set them apart from one another. Pacing and tone are always appropriate to the individual scene in question, whether it involves playful banter, a dangerous chase, or a steamy romantic interlude. This is definitely not for those who can't tolerate romance, but all others can likely find something to enjoy here, if only as a light diversion between more serious, and subtle, audio offerings.
