À propos de cet audio

A compelling drama with plenty of twists, Big Little Lies meets Pretty Little Liars, with a dash of Desperate Housewives.

An anonymous blackmailer threatening to release the deepest secrets of a group of pre-school mums and their fracturing friendships as they attempt to discover who is behind it.

If you are entertained by the misbehavior of slutty, bored, spoiled trophy wives.. this J.A.Leake offering is for you. Aging one-time beauty queens with hyphenated names like ''Sarah-Ann' & 'Mary-Elizabeth' meet over espressos & pitchers of sweet tea to complain about their husbands' businesses, their children's school problems, their torrid affairs, their inability to get pregnant, and sex Sex SEX. A token "working mom" ('Maria') joins the author's fictional group fto introduce some relatability - but the book is essentially voyeuristic "Reality TV" fare.
Fortunately, Leake is reasonably good at this stuff. She introduces a scheming blackmailer to confront this circle of manipulative bitches and expose their juicy secrets. The secrets themselves are a bit clichéd.. but Leake does a capable job exploring them.

On the negative side, Jennifer Woodward is a below-average reader. Her diction, timbre, cadence, and timing are fine.. but her tone is mechanical (she's clearly reading from a book lying open on her lap), and her voice-acting is execrable (her interpretations of children are gratingly falsetto and her Southern Drawls are cartoonish).

I personally find this subject matter insufferable - but if you enjoy the guilty pleasure of rubbernecking "can't-look-away" gossipy drama, this 4.5/10-star recording isn't a horrible waste of time (if you can get it as a 'Plus' option). If asked for a Credit, however, you're a fool to spend it.
Better offerings beckon.
