THE DEAD ROMANTICS

Narrator Eileen Stevens is a warm guide through this unexpectedly comforting romance, which embraces life, death, and everything in between. Florence Day can see ghosts. She's also a ghostwriter for a famous romance author, but after a traumatic breakup, she no longer believes in happily-ever-afters. Enter her handsome new editor, who is demanding her latest manuscript. Stevens is especially convincing and charming as smart, anxious, gentlemanly editor Ben. Then Florence gets bad news and reluctantly departs New York City for her small South Carolina hometown. Stevens brings Florence's family--they own a funeral home, of course--and the town's cast of characters to vivid life. As Florence plans a funeral, takes moonlit strolls in a cemetery, talks with ghosts, and falls in love again, listeners will be rapt. J.M.D. © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine [Published: AUGUST 2022]
