A PECULIAR COMBINATION

Listeners are taken back to WWII as Ellie and her uncle make ends meet by breaking into the homes of London's elite. When they are caught red-handed, Major Ramsey gives Ellie the choice of going to prison or helping the war effort by using her lock-breaking skills to help him retrieve essential documents. Narrator Alison Larkin is the perfect match to this tale of intrigue. She creates a believable feisty character in Ellie and gives Major Ramsey the cut-glass accent of the upper class. Larkin's strong characterizations bring the diverse cast of characters to life, and her well-paced delivery keeps the suspense building as Ellie and the Major embark on their adventure, giving the listener a fun listen.
