    After a slow summer of chasing low-level skips for her cousin Vinnie's bail bonds agency, Stephanie Plum finally lands an assignment that could put her checkbook back in the black. Geoffrey Cubbin, facing trial for embezzling millions from Trenton's premier assisted-living facility, has mysteriously vanished from the hospital after an emergency appendectomy. Now it's on Stephanie to track down the con man. Unfortunately, Cubbin has disappeared without a trace, a witness, or his money-hungry wife. Rumors are stirring that he must have had help with the daring escape...or that maybe he never made it out of his room alive.

    Would you consider the audio edition of Notorious Nineteen to be better than the print version?

    Hm.....I love reading myself, but when I read these books on my own, yes I still laugh. However, I have to admit Lorelei King is such a great narrator/performer I do laugh harder when I listen to her read them to me! Audiobooks last longer for me as well, since I will limit the time I listen, where when I read I can't seem to make myself put the book down...


    Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

    Not so much on the edge of my seat.....but the book kept me in stitches.


    What does Lorelei King bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

    More humor. And please keep her doing this series. The earlier books were narrated by another and they just aren't right. Lorelei is the voice of Steph, Lula, Ranger, Joe, Gramma! It sounds wrong when I listen to another read them now and they never measure up to King.


    If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

    Unsure


    Any additional comments?

    Saw One for the Money, while it was ok it wasn't nearly as funny as the books, in my opinion. Heigel is a great actress but she just wasn't Stephanie to me.

    Sometimes being the grim reaper really is that. Grim. And since Charley’s last case went so awry, she has taken a couple months off to wallow in the wonders of self-pity. But when a woman shows up on her doorstep convinced someone is trying to kill her, Charley has to force herself to rise above. Or at least get dressed. She quickly realizes something is amiss when everyone the woman knows swears she’s insane.

    What did you love best about Fourth Grave Beneath My Feet?

    I love the snarky humor of Charlie! However, all the characters have their own unique personalities, both written and brought to life by Lorelei King, the narrator. I am a big fan of both!


    What other book might you compare Fourth Grave Beneath My Feet to and why?

    It is like a paranormal version of the Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich. Both will keep you very entertained.


    Which character – as performed by Lorelei King – was your favorite?

    I can't pick just one, she plays them all so well!


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

    Yes, but I force myself not too :)


    Any additional comments?

    Worth the listen if you like paranormal and love to laugh.
