Anne Fletcher has become my favorite reader. Not only does she do a consummate job, she chooses books that I really enjoy. Thank you, Anne Fletcher, for choosing books that show women in a different light than was common at the time of publication.

That Square Emerald


(5 stars)

Whoa, those crazy ass women Amazing story of ups & downs, deceit forged wills & stolen babies. You gotta read this story. If only to confirm my above statement. There was one maybe 2 out of the clutch who were really great stuff.

Excellent reader, far-fetched story


(4 stars)

The reader was really excellent in all respects -- pace, dramatisation, pronunciation... The story, though, got more and more unbelievable with the number of sheer coincidences we are meant to accept. Also a considerable amount of racism typical of the period.


(5 stars)

Loved how this tale championed a female law enforcement officer. She was clever and funny. A very enjoyable tale. Well read by Anne Fletcher!


(5 stars)

An absolute romp of a story, even with some of the far-fetched elements typical of Wallace, magnificently and engagingly read!
