Great BUT..... TOO SAD
Reviewed: 04-17-23
Good story, great narrator, clean - no trash (really important to me) and well written....but- "I don't do sad". I was engaged the entire book but will probably never listen to it again. I don't intentionally choose to read sad books or watch sad movies - I have plenty of sad in real life. Thank goodness it does have a happy ending!!

Good story and performers BUT....
Reviewed: 03-27-23
The book was fast moving and the performers were good but the last half of the book had way too much unnecessary F bombs and the trashy language makes me less than likely to listen to anymore books by Susan Walter. If there was more trash talk in the sample, I wouldn't have purchased this book.

Maddie Sykes is a burgeoning seamstress who’s just arrived in Bright Leaf, North Carolina—the tobacco capital of the South—where her aunt has a thriving sewing business. After years of war rations and shortages, Bright Leaf is a prosperous wonderland in full technicolor bloom, and Maddie is dazzled by the bustle of the crisply uniformed female factory workers, the palatial homes, and, most of all, her aunt’s glossiest clientele: the wives of the powerful tobacco executives.

Reviewed: 03-16-23
I can't think of a better way to broach several sensitive topics without the blatant - in your face - accusations. This book is perfect for showing how much better things have become for women in the workplace and women's health. Sad to say the glass ceiling still exists in many rural areas and industries. Please write another book soon. Can't wait to see what your next well researched and written story will be! Hope you can use the same awesome performers. Great team!

When Abbie Adams, a historian-turned-journalist, is hired to investigate a cold-case murder from 1969, she jumps at the chance. But soon after she begins researching the case, she realizes that Frank Wexler, the faculty advisor who tanked her thesis and a member of a powerful family in town, is connected to the crime and is definitely not talking. As Abbie tracks down the remaining living witnesses, she slowly pieces together the events of that fateful night, and yet is not a single step closer to solving the case. Were the police back then told to stand down? To cover up the crime?

I only write reviews for 1s and 5s. This is the best book I have listened to in a long time. It was a great story, well written and perfect narration by Christine Lakin and Will Collyer. I will be keeping my eye out for more by all three. FYI - there was not any foul language or trashy parts. Just straight enjoyment.

Language
Reviewed: 09-22-22
I love the reader and would have loved the story but the language was disgusting. I kept thinking that the language would settle down after the author displayed how bad some of the characters were but it continually increased with the main characters. It only served to show how trashy they all were. It goes to confirm that the wealthy can have no class as much as some of the poor. I didn't like that the characters always seemed to be angry all the time.
