    Iris Scanlon, Half-Moon Hollow's only daytime vampire concierge, knows more about the undead than she'd like. Running all their daylight errands - from letting in the plumber to picking up some chilled O neg - gives her a look at the not-so-glamorous side of vampire life. Her rules are strict; relationships with vamps are strictly business, not friendship - and certainly not anything else. But then she finds her newest client, Cal, poisoned on his kitchen floor, and only Iris can help.

    Jaclyn Wilde is a wedding planner who loves her job—usually. But helping Carrie Edwards with her Big Day has been an unrelenting nightmare. Carrie is a bridezilla of mythic nastiness, a diva whose tantrums are just about as crazy as her demands. But the unpleasant task at hand turns seriously criminal when Carrie is brutally murdered and everyone involved with the ceremony is accusing one another of doing the deed.

    Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

    Yes! The story is so entertaining! It grabbed my attention at the first and never let go. I was sad to have it end!


    What was one of the most memorable moments of Veil of Night?

    The four southern women talking about the dead bridezilla:
    Y'all know you aren't supposed to speak ill of the dead....Jacklyn
    I like her better that way....Deirdre


    What about Clarinda Ross’s performance did you like?

    Everything! Ms Ross did a tremendous job. I enjoyed her performance so much, I listened to the whole thing again!


    Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

    Absolutely. I became so involved in the story, I hated having to turn it off before the end.


    Any additional comments?

    This is my absolute favorite audiobook to date; I have listened to it at least 4 times. I have long been a fan of Linda Howard, and it is by belief that no one could possibly have done a better job narrating this story than Clarinda Ross.

    The Queen of England has concocted a plan in which penniless aristocrat Lady Georgie is to entertain a Bavarian princess and conveniently place her in the playboy prince's path, in the hopes that he might finally marry.

    But queens never take money into account. Georgie has very little, which is why she moonlights as a maid-in-disguise.
