SLIGHTLY SHADY

This romantic suspense set in Regency England is skillfully read. Antiquities dealer Lavinia Lake's first encounter with investigator Tobias March had been anything but pleasurable. March had ransacked her shop and claimed that she was in cahoots with an underground criminal organization. However, after moving back to England with her niece, Lavinia finds herself partnering with March in his pursuit of a killer. The partners' constant banter showcases Elizabeth Sastre's versatility as she portrays the love/hate relationship of the duo. Sastre's tones and pacing add to the sense of danger throughout the story. K.M.D. © AudioFile 2001, Portland, Maine [Published: OCT/ NOV 01]
