    Seth Quinn is finally home. It's been a long journey. But a lot has changed in St. Christopher since he's been gone - and the most intriguing change of all is the presence of Dru Whitcomb Banks.

    Story
    What made the experience of listening to Chesapeake Blue the most enjoyable?

    The most compelling thing is the interplay of all the family characters you became familiar with in the 3 preceeding stories. Cam, Phillip, Ethan and Seth are interlocking pieces of a strong family puzzle. Their respective wives add color, depth and more humor and love to this fabulous family.


    What did you like best about this story?

    Seth, the way he thinks, his art work, his love and loyalty to his family!


    Which scene was your favorite?

    One of my favorite scenes is his homecoming, and seeing Anna first. The warmth, joy, tenderness and depth of feeling was amazing.


    Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

    When Seth dreamed about Stella, (his grandmother) a person he had never met.


    Any additional comments?

    James Daniels does a wonderful job with this narration, the characters voices are finely drawn and the emotional content is honest and true.

    It's not the dead that seem strange to Quirke. It's the living. One night, after a few drinks at an office party, Quirke shuffles down into the morgue where he works and finds his brother-in-law, Malachy, altering a file he has no business even reading. Odd enough in itself to find Malachy there, but the next morning, when the haze has lifted, it looks an awful lot like his brother-in-law, the esteemed doctor, was in fact tampering with a corpse, and concealing the cause of death.

    Vivienne says: "Engaging debut."

    What did you love best about Christine Falls?

    Story line was well thought out and well written. Characters were clear and well defined. Main character was complex but likable,


    What did you like best about this story?

    The best part was the voice of the narrator, clean, clear, good delineation of characters.


    What about Timothy Dalton’s performance did you like?

    He is a talented, strong, very experienced actor, and brings all of that expertise to this performance. The story line captures your interest almost immediately, and holds it throughout the book. He doesn't let go of your attention.

    Eve Dallas is a New York police lieutenant hunting for a ruthless killer. In over 10 years on the force, she's seen it all - and knows that her survival depends on her instincts. And she's going against every warning telling her not to get involved with Roarke, an Irish billionaire - and suspect in Eve's murder investigation. But passion and seduction have rules of their own, and it's up to Eve to take a chance in the arms of a man she knows nothing about - except the addictive hunger of needing his touch.

    Felicity says: "Don't Judge the Series by the First Book!"
    "This one started it all!!"

    Would you listen to Naked in Death again? Why?

    Going back and listening to this first Eve Dallas story is like revisiting history. It's all about the history of the relationships of the main characters. It flows beautifully and is so strong a foundation to build from that visiting the book again is like reminising about your own past.


    What other book might you compare Naked in Death to and why?

    I compare it to Cheasapeak Blue, which is the final book in Nora Roberts Cheasapeak Bay novels, it has all the history of each of the brothers, and the wonderful story of Seth.


    Have you listened to any of Susan Ericksen’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

    Susan Ericksen's talents in the field of narrator are without equal as far as I am concerned! She manages to capture each voice in a unique and beautifully nuanced way, so that the listener is certain who is speaking, without minimizing the whole story. She is an absolute jewel in this field!


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

    Don't miss the creation of a legend!!


    Any additional comments?

    I have read every book in the series so far and not been disappointed once. The characters grow with each new adventure. They are full and fleshed out and you can almost know by now what their reaction will be to any given circumstance...you know them that well!!
