JUST MAKE BELIEVE

Narrator Gemma Dawson delivers this audiobook in a smooth, gentle voice that belies its paranormal element. When Lady Adelaide attends a house party, she is distressed to see the ghost of Rupert, her late husband. Rupert appears only when a murder is about to occur, so Addy expresses no surprise when her hostess is poisoned. As more bodies appear, Addy involves Scotland Yard's Detective Inspector Devanand Hunter. Together they work to solve the case and prevent more mayhem. Dawson's performance draws listeners in, letting the intensity of the story speak for itself and making listeners go along with its paranormal events. While occasional mispronunciations of less common words can distract listeners, Dawson uses effective voices to give life to all the characters.
