False Report

By: Veronica Heley

Narrated by: Patience Tomlinson

While Bea Abbot worries that she’s lost control of her domestic agency, she’s asked to find some domestic help for an eccentric little musician falsely accused of murder. She doesn’t realize how dangerous this might be until Jeremy - fleeing from attempts on his life - lands up on her doorstep.

Researching the gang who’d used an attractive girl to entrap Jeremy, Bea finds traces of them throughout high society. Can Bea keep Jeremy - and herself - alive, while all he thinks about is composing a song for pretty, dead Josie?

Protagonist is not too bright.

Is there anything you would change about this book?

I would make the protagonist a little smarter and less buffeted by events and people around her, she has the foreseeability of a chicken trying to cross a six lane highway.

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

Most of the story was not too interesting.

Which character – as performed by Patience Tomlinson – was your favorite?

Patience Tomlinson can make even a character without a frontal lobe interesting.

Could you see False Report being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

Probably, it's about the level of the average television viewer.

Any additional comments?

I didn't like the protagonist, nor her son, nor her ex-husband. The most interesting of the characters were the two kids who were living with her, and if I had not purchased another of this series, before I heard this one, I would not purchase another.
