QUICK FIX

Narrator Susan Bennett’s versatile voice will keep listeners tuned to this audiobook. Ciel Halligan has a chameleon-like ability to take on the appearances and characteristics of other people. It’s too bad she isn’t as comfortable in her own skin. Lacking in confidence, she’s romantically torn between her charming best friend, Billy, and stoic CIA spook Mark. Bennett creates a believable persona not only for protagonist Ciel but also for a multitude of colorful characters ranging from Billy’s hyper 10-year-old sister to an elderly doctor. Bennett uses a staccato delivery as Ciel propels the action, with the other characters appropriately responding to the chaos she unwittingly unleashes.
