    In Mrs. Lincoln’s Dressmaker, novelist Jennifer Chiaverini presents a stunning account of the friendship that blossomed between Mary Todd Lincoln and her seamstress, Elizabeth 'Lizzie' Keckley, a former slave who gained her professional reputation in Washington, D.C. by outfitting the city’s elite. Keckley made history by sewing for First Lady Mary Todd Lincoln within the White House, a trusted witness to many private moments between the President and his wife, two of the most compelling figures in American history.

    This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

    I usually enjoy historical fiction, but it was very slow and monotone. I had to listen to the same chapter three times, as my interest kept wanning


    What do you think your next listen will be?

    The Third Bullet


    What didn’t you like about Christina Moore’s performance?

    very slow-monotone,


    You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

    the concept for the story is good-may be better in paper

    Stone Barrington is called to Bel-Air to oversee an exclusive event that will gather the top echelons of the beau monde: Hollywood starlets, socialites, politicos, billionaires from overseas. It’s a task in which Stone has a personal stake, and one that is made all the more pleasurable - though somewhat more complicated - with the arrivals of two beautiful women with whom he’s intimately acquainted. But the grand occasion has also attracted a dangerous criminal group with sinister plans....

    "Definately not Stone at his best!"

    Is there anything you would change about this book?

    Narration wonderful as always-story not well developed, sketchy, found myself for the first time not really caring if Stone won or not!


    Which character – as performed by Tony Roberts – was your favorite?

    Stone, as always!
