LOVE COMES CALLING

Morgan Hallett certainly had to keep up her energy level while narrating this 1920s screwball mystery featuring the chaos-attracting, fast-talking Ellis Eton. As Ellis is impersonating her friend, Janey, a telephone operator, to earn some much needed money so she can get herself to Hollywood, she overhears a threat to hunky Griffin Phillips, her next-door neighbor. Ellis's efforts to navigate life with her hoity-toity family, save Janey's job, catch the villains, and make it to Hollywood provide plenty of opportunity for Hallett to shine. Using slight differences in tone for the characters and keeping up the frantic pace, she delivers an entertaining story. A.C.P. © AudioFile 2014, Portland, Maine [Published: JULY 2014]
