A PROPOSAL TO DIE FOR

Narrator Amanda Ronconi enlivens the story of Jess Bricker, a wedding proposal orchestrator, as she accompanies Diana, a snobby former classmate, on a pre-bridal retreat. Jess is dragged off to the exclusive Golden Ash resort by Diana, whose "surprise" proposal Jess has been hired to plan. While there, Jess finds two dead bodies and develops a friendship with the owners of the resort, along with Dean, the chef. Ronconi's dry delivery works perfectly with the story's snarky dialogue. Her spot-on vocals render each character's personality expertly--from Jess's deadpan comments to Diana's haughty demands. Listeners will find themselves entertained by Ronconi's performance as Jess deals with dead bodies, a budding romance, and a bridezilla. S.B.
