The Best of Enemies

Julia Whelan lends her strong voice and perfectly timed pauses to the character of Jacqueline "Jack" Jordan, a fearless writer whose work embeds her in war-torn cities around the world. Now she's more than a bit anxious at returning home to the Midwest to face her nemesis, Kitty Carricoe. Emily Rankin voices bubbly stay-at-home mom Kitty, whose idea of current events is the latest in PTA gossip and new ways to hide vegetables in baked goods. Jack and Kitty join forces when their mutual friend's husband dies in a suspicious plane crash. The alternating narrations are perfect in this fast-paced novel about friendship, family, and the conflicts that abound from inaccurate assumptions. A.L.C. © AudioFile 2015, Portland, Maine
