About this listen

What lies buried in a hoarder's house - precious treasure or ghastly secrets? One moment of misguided generosity throws estate sale organizer Audrey Nealon's life into turmoil. She loses a client's money, cripples her budding romance, and witnesses a murder. Strapped for cash, she accepts a questionable project: clearing out the home of a mentally ill hoarder who may have hidden valuable Civil War letters. What really lies at the bottom of 20 years' worth of collected buttons and dolls and stuffed owls and atlases? As Audrey digs through the hoarder's obsessions, she unleashes a vengeful response from all sides. The house has destroyed lives in the past. Will Audrey and those she loves - her friends, her father, and even her dog - be its next victims? As the final twist reveals, secrets can remain buried, but they never disappear.

Who was your favorite character and why?

I love all the characters.They are all normal and relate-able which makes their everyday dramas that bit more realistic and enjoyable. If I had to choose one though it would be Jill. She is a colourful character and I love the banter and arguments between her and Tai.

Have you listened to any of Janelle Tedesco’s other performances? How does this one compare?

I listened to book one in the series and it was great too. What stood out for me in this production were the various accents the narrator performed. They sounded very authentic and I could really picture the characters who were speaking.

Any additional comments?

I enjoyed the first book in the series and this second book was even better. I liked the little bit of romantic drama as much as the mystery.
The story line was well thought out and exciting. I loved that the characters had to deal with intrigue and drama in each of the two estate sales. Audrey certainly knows how to attract trouble. Luckily she has a fantastic group of friends to help.

Even better than the first book...

The company of regular characters are developing nicely in the series. The interplay is wonderful. Audrey cannot resist a mystery which always develop into plot lines with lots of twists and turns. Our central characters also have their own turmoils in their private life. The writing is wonderful with a great narrator. So much is happening it becomes unputdownable. There are light touches interspersed between the drama. Highly enjoyable.

Mystery, Crime and Family Drama.

I loved the book one in the series and I am glad to say this one does not disappoint. We get to see the whole crew (that we first met in the first novel) and get a deeper pov.
There is a mystery but it is not a murder as such. However, the same technique is used to find out who the culprit is. There are other subplots in this one but they are linked in some way.
My only negative is that the main character really annoyed me when it came to her judgment of other characters in the book. I honestly felt like strangling her at times but other then this it is a great listen which is full of suspense and tension.
Would recommend reading/listening to the first book because you get a better understanding why the characters act the way they do.
Would highly recommend it.
