BELLADONNA Belladonna, Book 1

Kristin Atherton narrates this gothic mystery with a distinct accent and tone for each character. When young Signa arrives at Thorn Grove to live with her wealthy relatives, she enters a world of privilege and mystery. Her ability to interact with ghosts compels her to solve her aunt's murder, but can she do so in time to save her cousin who is dying of the same illness? Signa will employ the aid of Death himself, whom only she can hear and touch, but will she succumb to his attraction? Atherton seamlessly delivers each character's dialogue-- from the dulcet, seductive voice of Death to the common parlance of the household help, the high-pitched snobbery of Signa's friends, and the bass voices of all the male characters.
