Dirty Laundry by Tori Carrington. Read by (my favorite) Anna Fields.
A fun, little mystery. Easy to follow with some interesting plot twists. As always, Anna Fields is a joy to listen to. This book is apparently part of a series featuring Sofie Metropolis. Sofie and company give an interesting peek into the life of Greek Americans along with a good story. I will be seeking out other books from this series.
Four stars. Maybe there'd be fewer without Ms. Fields narrating.

Book #38 (Audio)
The Neighbor by Lisa Gardner. Read by Emily Janice Card, Kirby Heyborne, and Kirsten Potter.
Confession: I don't like multiple readers for the same book. Otherwise, this was an interesting and suspenseful story. I was never sure until the end whodunnit. I have read and enjoyed Lisa Gardner's book before and this one was just as good as I expected.
I am going with a 4 star rating. Had it been narrated by Anna Fields (impossible, now) I probably would have gone with 4.5. Go figure.

Book #37 (Audio)
Dogs and Goddesses by Jessifer Crusie, Anne Stuart and Lani Diane Rich. Read by Renee Raudman.
I don't usually enjoy fantasy, but I loved this book. The reader did a fabulous job of changing voices for each character, especially the dogs. Yes, talking dogs. I've always wished I could understand what my pets were saying. If only I had some temple tonic.
I see that Amazon reviewers only gave the book 3 stars, but I'm going with 4 stars for the audio book. Would it have been less enjoyable without Ms. Raudman's skills? Who knows, I'm just glad I had a chance to listen to this story.
