Gladioli in August (audiobook)
[aud-w11728]

4 of 5 Stars Can pilot & nurse live long enough to find love?

If love an old fashioned adventure story that is clean but still has all of the necessary ingredients for one, well, have I got the audiobook for you! When I started Gladioli In August I was pretty much expecting the same romantic suspense fare as the rest of the Flowers Can Be Fatal series. Boy, was I wrong... This eighth book in the series turned out to be an adventure tale with the requisite romance thread. I loved the way Clare Revell surprised me but changing things up so dramatically, and even though there were a few things that were implausible at best, I still enjoyed the whole production.

One of my favorite parts of the story was the running gag about Jael's name and a certain bag of tent pegs. I loved that added touch of humor and it really made me laugh out loud. Clare Revell did a good job balancing out those amusing moments with the sweet romance and riveting danger elements.

Once again the narrator was the same as the previous audiobooks in the series and I have to say that I really appreciate the continuity. The audio quality isn't the best and you have to turn the volume up but it's well worth it.

If you've read or listened to the rest of the Flowers Can Be Fatal series, or even if you are new as each story can be read fairly well standalone, you'll want to make sure you don't miss Gladioli In August...
