OVER THE MOON AT THE BIG LIZARD DINER

This uplifting love story involving horse psychology, relationships, and the mystery of disappearing dinosaur tracks is engaging and thought-provoking. Johanna Parker smoothly and consistently portrays the lost and bereft veterinarian Lindsey Attwood, cowboy Zach Truitt, and the multitude of fascinating characters who call San Saline, Texas, home. Parker’s mastery of the bantering dialogue, as well as her empathetic reading of Lindsey and her daughter’s email exchanges, are touching and appealing. Parker’s charming narration is expressive and clear, resonating with good humor and real emotions. Listeners will be enchanted as Lindsey falls in love, overcomes her fear of horses, and solves the dinosaur case. S.C.A.
