With an ailing mother to care for, Lisa Grant takes the first job she can find: research assistant to District Attorney Scott Buchanan. What Lisa expects to be a mind-numbingly boring task turns into anything but when a missing-persons case draws her attention. The details of the case are engrossing: an entire family — father, mother, and two children — disappeared without a trace more than 28 years ago. Except that’s not all: the mother in a photo Lisa finds could be her own twin.

Dragged a lot wasn't my favorite but I love the narrator. It was too much of a love story than a mystery.

Lucy Valentine is as smart as can be, as single as you can get, and so not qualified to run a matchmaking service. But when her parents temporarily step down from the family business, Valentine, Inc., it's Lucy's turn to step up and help out - in the name of love. Plus, her rent is due. Here's the problem: Lucy doesn't have the knack for matchmaking. According to family legend, every Valentine has been blessed by Cupid with the ability to read "auras" and pair up perfect couples.

Love Dina Perlman but...
Reviewed: 07-08-14
Is there anything you would change about this book?
Dina Perlman is great but Lucy is a lifelong Massachusetts resident and Dina has a southern accent
What was one of the most memorable moments of Truly, Madly?
I'm midway through and enjoying the story
Would you be willing to try another one of Dina Pearlman’s performances?
She's great as Savannah Reid in that series but I may not continue with this series. I'm from Massachusetts and for some reason the narration is irritating to me
Was Truly, Madly worth the listening time?
Yes

As director of the Ballantyne Foundation on Sea Pine Island, SC, Elliott Lisbon scratches her detective itch by performing discreet inquiries for Foundation donors.

Good story the narrator over pronounced T and D
Reviewed: 02-16-14
What did you love best about Board Stiff?
Cute cozy mystery
What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
I'm still listening
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Rachel Frawley?
Caroline Schaffer or anyone
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Not really
Any additional comments?
The narrators over pronounced T and D sounds were so frequent distracting and maddening at times. I probably won't listen to the next in the series because of the narration.

Presents are being wrapped and reservations are being made when Nick’s clever and beautiful wife disappears.

What is the Hype About?
Reviewed: 08-01-12
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
A better story line. I did not find this book they are calling the book of the summer to be interesting or engaging. The characters were unlikable and it was very slow going back and forth through narrations and thoughts. It's unfortunate because I was hoping to like this author since she seems quite popular.
What do you think your next listen will be?
I'm listening to Spying in High Heels - nice fluffy chick lit with a mystery twist. My kind of summer reading (or listening)
Which character – as performed by Julia Whelan and Kirby Heyborne – was your favorite?
Neither - they were not likable in the least
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
Not really, it does get better towards the middle and end but still very boring and I thought it was predictable.
Any additional comments?
I would consider taking a listen to the exerpt before wasting a credit on this book.

Selected a narrator that had a younger voice and better acting skills
How could the performance have been better?
I just did not find the narrators voice good for the story, it ruined it for me
