Enjoyed it.

Enjoyed the story as it created a very nice excape from reality. Definitely recommend!

Finally Unabridged Format

Where does Now You See Her rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I love all of Linda Howard's books but this one is a favorite of mine.

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

I have not listened to Laurel Lefkow prior to this book. She did a wonderful job.

Excellent listen

The book was most enjoyable, as most of Linda Howard's novels are. I am fairly new to audible books and have not been too impressed by the narrator, but Laurel was animated and with such a pleasant tone, she was a joy to listen to.

Enjoyable summer read

An older Linda Howard romantic suspense offering with paranormal elements. The mystery was not especially mysterious, but the romance, psychic angle, and Ms. Howard's writing kept it interesting.

The narrator did a good job. Nothing annoying or jarring to pull me out of the story.

4 ½ stars.

I liked the audiobook better than the physical book.

I read this several years ago and felt it was pretty good, but it was easy to put down when I needed to do other things. I didn’t feel as emotionally invested as I did with other books by this author. But I recently listened to the audiobook and felt very different. It was very enjoyable. So I upped my rating from 4 stars to 4 ½.

It is about an artist who paints psychic visions and a businessman in process of getting a divorce. They fall for each other. She has visions of a couple of murders.

So glad the Unabridged version has been released!!

This is one of my favorite Linda Howard titles...I had bought the abridged edition and hated it. Because I had read the whole book - the edited version ruined the storyline. SO glad Audible provided the WHOLE book!!! Yeah.

As for the story, it is very interesting with a paranormal twist and great plot. I very much liked Sweeney and Richard. No games - both very straight-forward. Excellent listen on this one.

Timing. Listening and reviews are all about timing.

I listen to some audios more than once. I have a few hundred or more in my library here on Audible, but I rarely write reviews. I've listened to this book maybe 4 times. The first time was so-so. A couple of years later, I listened again, and geez, it was good, I really liked the mystery and suspense and of course, the romance...which is why Linda Howard is in my top 10 authors.

My point is this. It all depends on what mood you are in at the time of your listen. If you are grumpy or sullen...you won't like anything, and knowing it isn't fair to give a low score, you give it a 2 or 3, I always give at least a 3 if it's a favorite author and I'm in a "mood" and the narrator isn't yucky. And if it is a favorite author, I re-listen. I've fallen in love with books, I thought I didn't like...all because of the mood I was in at the time.

So, if you might have been unfair in a rating because of your mood, re-listen when you are in a better one. Some of the ratings are really unkind and mean and nit picky. Anyone can be a critic...but how many books have you published?

So Happy This Is Finally Available

Would you consider the audio edition of Now You See Her to be better than the print version?

No, of course not! But, for one who loved the print version--this is a joy to listen to. It's a great story with a mystery and a twist. And, something that I enjoy with my suspenseful romances, a lot of humor.

What did you like best about this story?

As an artist, I loved that the heroine was one as well. Sweeney is totally obsessed with her art and isn't looking for a romance as she deals with some really weird paranormal changes in her life.

Which scene was your favorite?

Sweeney's 'Jeopardy prowess' in the police station. Really funny!!

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I both laughed and cried and that's a tribute to Linda Howard since I've read this book many times before.

Any additional comments?

My only regret is that the hero (Richard Worth) doesn't have a deeper, sexier voice--which my imagination provided.

Liked very much

Would you consider the audio edition of Now You See Her to be better than the print version?

I never read the book only the audio, the beginning was a little hard to listen to but keep listing the story get really good a little predicable but very entertaining all the same.

What did you like best about this story?

as I said the beginning was a little hard to get through but the story did develop to be very fun and the thing with the ghosts was a nice twist.

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

no this was the first audio book I have listened to by Laurel Lefkow the performances was great,.

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

no

A Favorite!

I've read the paperback version of this book many, many times & I just love it so much. When I saw Audible had a performance of it, I couldn't
