DEAD ON THE VINE

Audiobook listeners are thrust into a family drama that goes back generations when Charlotte Finn inherits a farm from her great-uncle. It soon becomes apparent that someone has been sabotaging the farm, making each person around Charlotte a suspect. Things escalate further with the discovery of a strange man who was murdered with a pitchfork. As Susan Boyce uses effective narration to portray the farming community of Little Acorn, California, listeners particularly enjoy getting to hear Charlotte's perspective on country life. Boyce's performance lends credibility to Charlotte's love for her two crime-solving companions, a pig named Horse and a ladybug named Mrs. Robinson. In doing so, Boyce offers plenty of amusement to listeners, who will fully enjoy this charming audiobook. V.M.G. © AudioFile 2020, Portland, Maine [Published: MAY 2020]
