REGRETS ONLY

Amanda Dolan, Sura Siu, and Lanna Joffrey share the performance of this multiple viewpoint mystery involving the board members of the Parent Booster Association of a Connecticut elementary school. Soon after TV writer Paige returns to her hometown and enrolls her daughter in school, the moms of the PBA talk her into attending a fundraiser. By morning, someone is found dead, and Paige is caught up in the investigation. Dolan, Siu, and Joffrey's performances blend smoothly, eliminating any jarring transitions as the story switches from one point of view to another. The narrators excel at contrasting the women's public and private lives and at presenting the red herrings without tipping off listeners. Juicy gossip, deep secrets, and social rivalries round out the mystery. C.B.L. © AudioFile 2023, Portland, Maine [Published: MARCH 2023]
