SUITORS AND SABOTAGE

After a successful London season, Imogene Chively acquires a suitor her father approves of. This audio Regency romance for young people offers a tightly wound plot. When Ernest Steeple and his brother, Ben, visit the Chively estate, Imogene discovers her feelings are for Ben, not Ernest. Narrator Fiona Hardingham has great fun with Imogene and the young men, keeping her tone fresh and her voice enthusiastic for each character. Every scene is chock-full of mishap and mayhem that is smoothly delivered by Hardingham. Underlying the fun is a saboteur who is creating increasingly dangerous obstacles to the budding romance. Hardingham creates the perfect mood of menace and angst, making for a delightful teen romance with a dash of mystery. E.E.S. © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine [Published: MAY 2018]
