AND NOW SHE'S GONE

Narrator Je Nie Fleming's soft voice is a good match for this mystery. Grayson Sykes is excited to get her first serious case as a private investigator at her friend's consulting firm. A hotshot doctor wants to find his missing ex-girlfriend, who took off suddenly, leaving no forwarding address and taking his dog with her. Fleming highlights Gray's frustrations at making rookie mistakes, her growing suspicion of foul play, and her conflicted feelings for her male boss. Varying her tone and inflection to distinguish each character, Fleming adds intensity to the dialogue as Gray gets closer to the truth. The story deals with tough issues, including domestic violence.
