TWELVE SHARP

Stephanie Plum, bounty hunter, is once again thrust into a sassy criminal capture that puts her career in crisis, places her life at risk, and asks the question of whom she really loves. Lorelei King nails each character with a distinctive tone and voice. From wisecracking Plum to capricious Grandma to the forlorn shoe salesman Plum talks off a window ledge with the promise of employment, the story’s cast exhibits King's flair for characterization and drama. When Grandma seeks work as a singer, her practice of "Before you break my heart...think it over" will keep listeners laughing. The production, which includes a bonus interview with the author, will delight fans and create new ones. G.D.W. © AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine [Published: OCT/ NOV 06]
