BLESS YOUR HEART Bless Your Heart, Book 1

Stephanie Németh-Parker speaks with a Southern accent in this audiobook, which takes place in southeast Texas. In 1999, four generations of Evans women run the only funeral parlor in town. When people suddenly begin rising from the dead, it's time for Evans matriarchs Ducey, Lenore, and Grace to tell teenager Luna about the family business. Németh-Parker voices the Evans women so that each sounds age appropriate and can be clearly identified. Her drawn-out exhalations when the dead speak make them delightfully eerie, while her deliberate mouth sounds for the coroner will make listeners as uncomfortable with him as the characters are. Best of all, her vocal choices for all the suspects give nothing away about who is actually causing all the mayhem. S.S. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine [Published: AUGUST 2024]
