Faking It

By: Jennifer Crusie

Narrated by: Aasne Vigesaa

Reformed art forger Tilda Goodnight reluctantly joins forces with semi-reformed con man Davy Dempsey. They want to steal a dubious painting and several million embezzled dollars from a lethal widow named Clea, who has targeted a mild-mannered art collector as her next dearly departed. Complications include her sister, the female impersonator; his best friend, the reformed cat burglar; a recidivist embezzler named Rabbit; a hit man; some lousy sex; and a juke box. Trouble ensues....©2004 Jennifer Crusie (P)2004 Brilliance Audio, Inc.

Critic reviews

"Crusie has a gift for concocting nutty scenarios and witty one-liners." ( People)
"Cruise's fifth novel is an entertaining, fast-paced romp with a pleasing love story at its heart." ( Booklist)
"Aasne Vigesaa....spices up the story with a brashness that works for this novel filled with odd characters and amusing plots." ( AudioFile)

Light Read

Frothy, light, listen. Not much character development and an unbelievable plot.

Absolutely great and SOOOOO funny

Welcome To Temptation (first book in series)

Horrible Narration on a wonderful book

This is one of my favorite feel good books. I have owned it as a paperback, hardback, ebook and now audio book. But the narrator on this one is horrible. I would have preferred that she not try to do different voices rather than what she did. Most of the main characters voices were indistinguishable from her narrator voice 90% of the time & some of her secondary character voice were more like a parody than an actual voice.

I would recommend the book to anyone, it’s a great feel good romantic comedy with lots of sarcasm and laughs, but skip the audiobook
