Story
When mystery author D. B. Ziegler is late delivering her book, Abi Schore steps in to help. Surely she can give her favorite author moral support over the holiday break and get the manuscript to her boss at Tea & Sympathy Publishing in time for the new year. When Abi shows up on Ms. Ziegler’s doorstep bearing holiday treats, she’s met by the author’s handsome grandson Dov, who reveals a startling plot twist. His grandmother isn’t able to finish the book and Dov promised he’d complete it so fans won’t be disappointed—a task that’s harder than he ever imagined.

Loved this story... I liked that it was a Hanukkah story. Not wild about the choice of male voice actor.

Story
It’s the flight before Christmas and Molly just got an unexpected gift: a free first-class upgrade on her plane trip home for the holidays. Bring on the complimentary cocktails! But after one too many, she spills all her secrets to the hot guy seated next to her—only to wake up mortified when her buzz has worn off. At least she never has to see Liam again ... or so she thinks. When Molly arrives at Christmas House, the festive rental home that she and her family are sharing with her sister’s fiancé and his wealthy family, she discovers that Liam is one of the new in-laws. Oops.

Cute story, but the explicit sex scenes ruined parts for me.
Also, not thrilled with the choice for the male actor.

Loved the book...

I am a huge Jodi Picoult fan, and I enjoyed the book when I read it several years ago.
I did not enjoy it as much when listening to the audio book. This was entirely due to the narrators. Sadly disappointed.

Story
Olivia McAfee knows what it feels like to start over. Her picture-perfect life—living in Boston, married to a brilliant cardiothoracic surgeon, raising their beautiful son, Asher—was upended when her husband revealed a darker side. She never imagined that she would end up back in her sleepy New Hampshire hometown, living in the house she grew up in and taking over her father’s beekeeping business. Lily Campanello is familiar with do-overs, too. When she and her mom relocate to Adams, New Hampshire, for her final year of high school, they both hope it will be a fresh start.

I am one of Jody Picoult's biggest fans! Great story with, as usual, lots of facts....which entertains and educates.
The voice actors did an amazing job bringing this story to life.

The narration of an audio book can make or break it. They knocked it out of the ballpark with this one!!
This amazing story is brought to life through the wonderful voice actors.
I didn't want the story to end.
Reminded me of a project Oprah would take on!

Story
Ernest Hemingway said, “All modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called Huckleberry Finn". One hundred years after its author’s death, this classic remains remarkably modern and poignantly relevant. In this new edition, Elijah Wood reads Huck in a youthful voice that may be the closest interpretation to Twain’s original intent. His performance captures the excitement and confusion of adolescence and adventure.

Masterful Narration
- By Michael Balzoa on 03-11-11
Great narration!
Reviewed: 01-30-22
I've listened to many audible books that the narrator was not very good, and even some I could not continue listening to because the narrator was so irritating.
Elijah Wood does an amazing job with this classic!!

Reviewed: 12-24-21
As always, Mr Grisham delivered another great story. Unfortunately, the choice of narrator was a poor one. Although I love her as an actress, her narrative skills are lacking. She creates drama where there is none....
If you can look past the flaw in narration, you will find this another great Grisham novel.
