One Dangerous Lady

By: Jane Stanton Hitchcock

Narrated by: 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.

"Deliciously dark....A killer read." (People)

Hooked:

I thought that this was an excellent read. However, as the story unfolded it got even better. I was in a trance! I could not stop listening. Every moment was exciting. I highly recommend, it is worth it.

Loved it.

Kept my interest the entire way. Narrator added to the mystery. I rarely make it through an entire audio book but was ready to listen to this one any chance I got.

Engaging plot and wonderfully read!

Great story and the reader is perfect! I highly recommend this. Quality again from this author!

Fun suspense

This was a very good story. The reader is very talented and entertaining. The character development was believable. The story kept my attention.

The narratoir says "supposably"!

I'm only on ch 12. So far this book is kind of slow and boring. I'm not sure if I'll finish or not, but I doubt it. The main character is supposed to be cultured amd educated, and the narrator is saying "supposably"?! That is not a word.
