Out on a Limb

A Smoky Mountain Mystery

De: Carolyn Jourdan

Narrado por: Jodi Gaylord

Phoebe McFarland has just moved back to her hometown of White Oak, Tennessee, a sleepy rural community nestled in the mist-shrouded ridges and isolated hollows of the Smoky Mountains. Now she spends her days working as a rural home health care nurse, making calls on a quirky roster of housebound characters she's determined to take care of whether they cooperate or not.

She applies this same optimism to her love life, despite the fact that she's been dating for 38 years without locating any husband material. When she runs into her childhood sweetheart, Henry Matthews, a wildlife ranger for the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, it looks like she might've found her man.

But Phoebe and Henry's chance for romance has to be put on hold while they undertake a desperate search for a young woman who mysteriously vanished from the park during a gathering of world famous biologists and botanists, including a charismatic Frog Whisperer.

Out on a limb

This is a very good book. There is a lot of twist and turns in it. A very good mystery. It keeps you interested from start to finish. I live two hours from Cases Cove I enjoyed a story about the area. I highly recommend this book. Jodi Gaylord did an excellent job narrating this book. I received a free copy of this book from unleashed but that has no influence on my review. if this review is any help will you please click the helpful link below. Thank you

Carolyn has a way of painting a picture with words

Where does Out on a Limb rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This was my second audiobook, both written by Carolyn Jourdan, and both 5 stars!

Who was your favorite character and why?

My favorite character was Henry. His dialect and the stories of his experiences were endearing.

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

No, but her portrayal of the French character in this book was classic!

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

No parts made me cry but there were some laugh out loud moments.

Any additional comments?

It was cleat a LOT of research went into this book, and a LOT of valuable information regarding tourists and wildlife that I hope readers pay heed to!
