THE ANTIQUE HUNTER'S GUIDE TO MURDER

Emilia Fox's stylish narration brings Freya and her eccentric Aunt Carol to life as they set out to discover the truth behind the death of their old friend and mentor, Arthur. Their adventure escalates as they find themselves sharing an English manor house with some shady individuals. Fox creates believable characters in both the protagonists, injecting just the right amount of dottiness into Aunt Carol and allowing Freya's personality to develop as her self-confidence returns. Fox rises to the challenge of characterizing a wide range of diverse and sometimes larger-than-life characters. Her timing is spot-on, keeping the plot moving during some of the descriptive passages, resulting in an engaging listen. K.J.P. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine [Published: MARCH 2024]
