KNOCKOUT

Mary Jane Wells's performance sizzles in this explosive 1840s mystery- romance. Wells acts out the scenes with her lyrical voice, adding panache to the double entendres and sexy repartee. A string of explosions is occurring in East London. Sultry Lady Imogen Loveless, who is passionate about explosives, uses her considerable wit and steamy charms as she alternately butts heads and assists Detective Inspector Thomas Peck of the Metropolitan Police with his investigation. Wells's silky voice shifts smoothly from narrative to internal dialogue to rapid-fire conversation, keeping pace with action that crackles with desire. The sparkling romantic scenes will have listeners glued to their earphones as Peck pursues Loveless. M.B.K.
