Invitation Only Murder

by Leslie Meier Narrated by Karen White

Overview

Part-time reporter Lucy Stone doesn't know what to expect as she arrives on a private Maine island owned by eccentric billionaire Scott Newman, only that the exclusive experience should make for a very intriguing feature story. An avid environmentalist, Scott has stripped the isolated property of modern conveniences in favor of an extreme eco-friendly lifestyle. A trip to Holiday Island is like traveling back to the 19th century, and it turns out other residents aren't exactly enthusiastic about living without cell service and electricity.

Before Lucy can get the full scoop on Scott, she is horrified to find one of his daughters dead at the bottom of a seaside cliff. The young woman's tragic end gets pinned as an accident, but a sinister plot unfolds when there's a sudden disappearance....

Stuck on a clammy island with murder suspects aplenty, the simple life isn't so idyllic after all. Now, Lucy must tap into the limited resources around her to outwit a cold blooded killer before it's lights out for her next!

FEBRUARY 2020 - AudioFile

Narrator Karen White returns to delight listeners as part-time reporter Lucy Stone ventures from her hometown of Tinker’s Cove and goes to a private island off the coast of Maine. Lucy’s latest assignment is a piece about the island’s owner, an eccentric billionaire environmentalist who has stripped the small island of almost all modern conveniences. But before Lucy can get the scoop, one of his young daughters winds up dead. Although the plot advances quickly, White’s slower tempo allows the peculiarities of each character to surface. Her raspy timbre and breathy delivery perfectly complement this cozy mystery while also capturing the eeriness of this eco-friendly island. When circumstances worsen and others go missing, White skillfully builds the suspense. E.P. © AudioFile 2020, Portland, Maine
