The Recruitment of Lucy James

De: M K Turner

Narrado por: Lee Beddow, Perdita Lawton

Lucy James goes out to celebrate the end of her final exams at college. It’s a decision she soon comes to regret, because next day, she has to attend an important interview, but she can’t remember why. Having recently passed the stringent vetting procedure for a top recruitment agency, she thinks she is probably meeting a prospective employer. Or is it yet another member of the agency? Deciding to wing it, she turns up and meets Gloria.

Gloria naturally expects Lucy to know why she is there, and almost immediately gives Lucy her first client. Lucy is horrified, but, concerned she might blow her chance if she confesses her lack of knowledge, she sets off on her first assignment.

Another two clients are quickly added to her case load, and she finds herself involved with blackmail, missing persons, and a possible murder. Convinced she is working for a covert government agency, Lucy ploughs on with the job. Until one day, out of blue, she is forced to make a decision that could affect everything she has ever known. And having made her choice, she is devastated when it is denied.

Nothing can ever be the same again.

The end makes the book worth it

In listening to this book I was as confused as Lucy James was. What job exactly was she interviewing for? Her interactions with her “clients” left me wondering what their purpose was, and my best guess was not anywhere near right. The story was interesting if perhaps a bit long. The characters developed well throughout the story. The narration was excellent. All in all, I enjoyed the book.

What a surprise this book was..

M K Turner provided me an Audible code for The Recruitment of Lucy James and I am so grateful for her gift. OMG...this book kept me guessing from the onset. Lucy James and her merry and not so merry 'clients' make for an adventure that ends with such an unpredictable outcome that I was shocked, surprised and humbled all in the same breath. Lee Beddow and Perdita Lawton do such an incredible, job with their talent for narration, enriching the story. (I hope they pair up on more audio books). I cannot find a way around including a spoiler if I say more so I'll stop here and say it is definitely worth the listening time and the Audible credit to enjoy this gem. Once again bravo for a great read M K Turner.

I really enjoy M K TURNER

The book is a nice break from the hectic world I live in. I'm glad I took time to listen to it.
