CHARLOTTE ILLES IS NOT A DETECTIVE

Katie Siegel performs her own work, a witty mystery that follows the former child detective Charlotte Illes, who is persuaded to do some sleuthing on behalf of her brother. It soon develops into something sinister. Siegel's top-quality narration reflects her unique insight and obvious fondness for the characters. She creates fully believable characters in Charlotte and her friends, and her delivery of the quick-fire dialogue is particularly fun to hear. Siegel's steady pacing is well matched to the plot, with its twists and turns. The highly enjoyable listen is enhanced by a clue that is particularly compelling on audio.
