Sizzle

Susan Denaker's well-acted, well-paced narration is the icing on the cake of this humorous romantic mystery. When beautiful Lyra Prescott, a film student, decides to make a documentary about the destruction of a park, she sets in motion a series of life-threatening events. Handsome Scots FBI Agent Sam Kincaid is assigned to be her bodyguard, whether she likes it or not, and the romantic sparks fly. Denaker's character portrayals--from that of an inept hit man to that of Lyra's eccentric grandmother, who steals holy water for her garden--are heartwarming, smooth, and believable. A definite winner. A.C.P. (c) AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine
