Risk the Queen

Lennie Carson Mysteries, Book 1

De: MCM

Narrado por: Gracia Gillund

Mobsters can be such drama queens sometimes....

Lennie's got her work cut out for her when the case of a missing brooch leads her straight into the underbelly of Chicago mob. Booze, deceit, threats...why, between the thugs and her overbearing Uncle - remarkably similar - Lennie's got a little too much to handle. Good thing she doesn't have a tendency to fib her way into deeper trouble, just as things are looking their bleakest. Oh wait. She does!

Lennie's on the case.

Lennie Carson is a sassy young sleuth in 1925 Chicago, cracking cases with the help of her ethereal partner, Mr. Parker. But between the pressures of being a reluctant debutante, and having to work for a living to get out from under her Uncle's thumb, Lennie has to be extra clever to help people in need. That, or fudge some facts along the way.

Enjoy!

Great fun! This gum popping flapper has an interactive radio that is endlessly confusing her with his talk of future things that she can't comprehend. Her task is to read the police beat in the morning paper and solve the crime. Her hunt for a stolen brooch takes her to the mob, her spontaneous lie takes her into the soup! It's a great little story very well done. No cliff hanger, but I want to find more!

Quick fun listen

I enjoyed this book, I would have liked the radio to be better explained but other than that the book was interesting and packed with the unexpected.

Leenie is a great lead character, strong and determined, she's going to do what she wants regardless of what her uncle wants.

The narration is well done, good character voices and a natural sounding delivery.
