One Dangerous Lady

De: Jane Stanton Hitchcock

Narrado por: Barbara Rosenblat

Jo Slater has it all. The queen of Manhattan society, she has dealt successfully with a tricky period in which she lost her husband, her fortune, and her reputation. But she bounced back, and now, newly single in the greatest city in the world, there is not a cloud in the sky.

Then Russell Cole, an old friend just married to a much younger woman, goes missing while yachting in Barbados. His wife, Carla, tries to befriend Jo, but Jo is suspicious. Carla's past is murky, and now, with her billionaire husband's money at her disposal, she seems set on conquering the highest level of New York's social scene. Suddenly, those who oppose her start dying off, and Jo decides to take matters into her own hands.

"Riveting....She exposes the dark secrets of a rarified society." (New York Post)
"Deliciously dark....A killer read." (People)

Fantastic

I did not want to turn this one off! A must listen for all.

A fun story comes alive!

Although the social stratosphere of NYC is completely foreign territory to me, I enjoyed this book enormously, principally thanks to Barbara Rosenblat’s wonderfully spirited narration.

Captivating

This book was a page turner. Though it had a slow start, it quickly had me hooked for more!

A wonderful Read!

Great story telling. Read the first book, so you have the background story, although you do not have to have read the first book to enjoy this one.

great read

Definitely found a new great author!
Story is so easy to follow & characters are so easy to imagine...i love when I can picture all of them. Love, love the narrator too

Fun and dark!

Even though you may have an idea where the story is going, the tale keeps you listening as it unfolds

Better Then Expected!

It took about an hour of listening to this book before I was hooked! From then on I was anxious to get back to it ane chose every opportunity to do so. I particularly enjoyed Betty and her wry sense of humor. The narration was superb....download it.......you won't be disapointed!

Unusual

I got books 1 and 2 of this series from the Plus catalog, thinking they were sort of chic lit or white noise in the background. They sounded interesting enough to try out. I was most pleasantly surprised and hope you will be, too. They are most definitely not chic lit; they are darkly funny and quite good mysteries. The surprise is buried in the main character and I won't spoil it for you. Give them a try; I don't believe you'll be disappointed.

Dangerous Lady

This book was amazing, the twists and turns WOW….I laughed, cried and actually shouted out loud at one point!! This was an excellent follow up to the first one. My new favorite author!!!

More Jo Slater please

Dear Jane Stanton Hitchcock,
I love the character of Jo Slater- voiced by the soothing, smooth tones of Barbara Rosenblatt. I just finished a repeat listen and wonder how Jo is doing today. Or maybe some of her pals? If you’re seeing this: the NY social scene portrait that you write about is so much fun and even though terrible things do happen, it’s an amazing slice of life. Thanks for all of the entertainment. To audible listeners:
I highly recommend this book.
