AGNES AND THE HITMAN

Cranky Agnes, a columnist and author of the cookbook MOB FOOD, purchases the house of her dreams. She must have the wedding of her goddaughter there or lose the house to its former owner, a mobster widow. When Agnes whacks an intruder with a skillet and he falls through her kitchen wall into a secret room, she starts a chain of comic adventures. Filled with quirky characters, including a love interest who's a hit man, this offering is replete with sassy dialogue, mouth-watering meals, and zany twists. Agnes's imaginary conversations with her therapist are priceless. Sandra Burr is perfect in her delivery. A.C.P. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine [Published: DEC 07/ JAN 08]
