MURDER FOR THE MODERN GIRL

Valerie Rose Lohman and Max Meyers make a dynamic narration team as they portray two curiously gifted young people in 1920s Chicago. Lohman's portrayal of 18-year-old Ruby Newhouse is bright, confident, and lively. She appears to be a cheerful flapper, but she's also a mind reader who uses her ability to rid the world of corrupt men. In alternate chapters, Meyers portrays 18-year-old Peter, who is confused, depressed, and worried about his inability to control his shape-shifting. Nonetheless, he's determined to solve a series of murders. There is an instant attraction when Ruby and Peter meet, but can they overcome their opposite temperaments and conflicting goals? These elements add tension to this fast-moving audio, as does the combination of mystery, romance, history, and fantasy. S.W. © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine [Published: AUGUST 2022]
