BOOKED FOR DEATH Book Lover's B&B Mystery, Book 1

As this audiobook opens, Charlotte Reed has recently inherited Chapters, a B&B dedicated to literature, from her enigmatic great-aunt, Isabella. As a week dedicated to the theme of mystery author Josephine Tey takes place, Charlotte discovers that one of her guests has alienated everyone at Chapters. Thus, when he is stabbed, listeners have a wealth of characters to suspect. As Suzie Althens performs, she adds depth, especially as the characters discuss the mysteries of Tey and other authors, comparing them to the real-life mystery they are embroiled in. One character Althens portrays particularly well is 70-something Ellen, neighbor to Charlotte and friend to her great-aunt. Althens makes Ellen seem perfectly credible, and delightful.
