Affair

By: Amanda Quick

Narrated by: Barbara Rosenblat

Affair introduces Charlotte Arkendale, an industrious young woman who provides a very special service. Wealthy women hire her to check the qualifications of their suitors. When one of Charlotte’s loveliest clients is murdered, she hires the darkly handsome Baxter St. Ives to be her assistant and bodyguard. But as they pool their powers of deduction and begin to investigate the mysterious circumstances surrounding the murder, they also uncover the force of a powerful, and mutual, chemistry. Liberally laced with passion, the intrigue swirls, and the plot thickens around Charlotte and her handsome colleague.

ok

The narrator as always was fantastic the story however was not one of my favorites by Amanda Quick. I had a hard time connecting with the characters.

The men of St Ives do everything with style

Another Quick novel that stands the test of rereading.
Two strong minded people who don't trust romantic attractions and also have learned to carve their own way in the world, come together because of a murder. There is lots of situational and conversational humor, and a swashbuckling envisioning near the end.
If you are lucky enough to get the audio, you will be glad that Barbara Rosenblatt is the audio performer.

Good story, decent narrator.

Amanda Quick addresses women's issues of the time without belaboring the point or anachronism. Always a good story. Not my favorite narrator, but certainly very listenable.

great

excellent as always, love her books. I have made st of them. I hope she does more in this gendra.

Not a bad story but bad recording

Would you consider the audio edition of Affair to be better than the print version?

No. And it's sad because it could have been.

Any additional comments?

This was a classic Amanda Quick novel. And i wanted to love the audio. The narrator was good, the story was good, and if they had given the guy coughing in the background for a good portion of the book at random times a cough drop it would have been a five star read for me.
