Boxes for Beds

By: Maryann Miller

Narrated by: Chloe Adele

In this historical mystery, set in Arkansas in 1961 when the mob still ruled Hot Springs, babies are being kidnapped, and the local sheriff has to put this case to bed before the bosses come down from Chicago. They don't need the heat, and they have the leverage with the sheriff to make him do whatever they want. It seems like a good move to arrest Leslie Richards, the new woman in town, even though there is only thin circumstantial evidence against her. Better for it to be a stranger taking those babies and not one of their own.

Leslie has left New York with her 10-year-old daughter, Mandy, hoping to escape from her past and the ruins of a relationship, only to discover that there is little peace for her in Pine Hollow, Arkansas.

A Good Thriller That Kept Me Guessing Throughout

BOXES FOR BEDS was an intriguing thriller with an easy to follow storyline. Although it was fiction, it could've just as well been non-fiction. The characters were likable and I could easily feel for Leslie in the situation that befell her. That's actually frightening. I would've liked to have heard a bit more of her background in New York and her life before moving to Arkansas but with that said, all in all, this was a great suspenseful thriller. It wasn't predictable and the ending was pretty wow. I like MARYANN MILLER'S writing and will be sure to watch for more books from her in the future.

CHLOE ADELE was simply amazing. I love the way she paced the story. She made it sound real. She has a soft voice which I liked and she was the perfect narrator for this book. She made this a very worthwhile and satisfying listen.

I really liked the plot of this book. The mystery of the baby stealing kept me guessing. The struggles of integration in the 1960's South wove

throughout the story line was interesting. The ending was a bit different,

The narration was quite enjoyable.

Interesting Plot

The plot was very interesting and the ending was good. I would have liked a little more background or information on the motive. The motive was presented, but the full story wasn't really presented.

The narrator was perfect for this book. She had nice accents, and she had a voice that seemed was great for a mom in the 70s.
