A LITTLE BIT OF KARMA

Janina Edwards narrates a fast-paced contemporary story of cheating and lies. Infidelity between relationship experts Shannon and Jay Lovejoy leads to suspense when Jay's mistress is murdered. While on the lam and trying to clear their names, the couple discuss what went wrong in their marriage and whether it is salvageable. The audiobook opens and closes with a smooth jazz instrumental reminiscent of 1960s suspense cinema. Edwards's performance keeps the story moving through the emotional turmoil as the couple work through emotional pain, suspicion, and cautious hope. Edwards manages to engage listeners despite the couple's self-centered personalities. Though she gives characters voices that are unique and distinguishable, many have accents that don't hit the mark. A.L.S.M. © AudioFile 2020, Portland, Maine [Published: NOVEMBER 2020]
