DEEP IN THE VALLEY Grace Valley, Book 1

Thérèse Plummer’s warm, conversational narration invites listeners into the lives of the small-town folks of Grace Valley, California. Plummer gives fitting voices to the many characters, beginning with Dr. June Hudson, who is happy to finally have the help of a new doctor in her small clinic. But she’s wary of his uncertain past. And there’s plenty of scandal, gossip, and a little danger when an undercover DEA agent arrives to investigate a marijuana operation in the surrounding mountains. Plummer perfectly voices most of the characters—from quirky older women to crusty old men—adding interest to the plot. Some of the younger men’s voices sound a bit forced, but overall Plummer’s narration brings the story and its characters to life. M.M.G. © AudioFile 2013, Portland, Maine [Published: SEPTEMBER 2013]
