Naked Once More

By: Elizabeth Peters

Narrated by: Barbara Rosenblat

Elizabeth Peters has attracted a huge following of listeners with her ability to deliver snappy stories, witty dialogue, and appealing characters. In Naked Once More, Peters creates a heroine you won't soon forget, the flamboyant Jacqueline Kirby, popular author and outspoken ex-librarian.

A lovely, but reclusive, young writer has mysteriously died, leaving the public hungry for a sequel to her enigmatic, best-selling novel. After intense competition, Jacqueline is chosen to write the sequel. But as Jacqueline begins her manuscript, she receives ominous signs that she may be heading for the same fate. Neither chocolate nor scotch can dispel her fears. Soon she is desperately trying to untangle two perilous plots: one in the sequel, and one in her own idiosyncratic life.

Naked Once More is Elizabeth Peters at her best, especially when narrated by her favorite actor, Barbara Rosenblat. Between the two of them, they'll keep your ears ringing with suspense and humor.

Critic reviews

"An expertly made fun read." (Washington Post Book World)
"Kirby...is a great companion to spend a couple of days with...Peters knows how to knit a good yarn." (Chicago Sun Times)

This is the version

This is the version to purchase. The wonderful narration of Barbara Rosenblat does justice to Elizabeth Peters story. And it is a grand story. Well drawn characters. A look at the world of publishing. A lovely convoluted series of puzzles.

Barbara Rosenblatt is the reason to listen to this story

The narrator of this story kept me interested. I chose this story because Barbara read the Erma Bombeck books and she did not disappoint.

What a Mystery

Elizabeth Peters is an acclaimed author, and this book is about writers. No one could have written it better. I loved the Jacqueline character. Will she show up in future books? Could it be that Elizabeth share some of Jacqueline’s characteristics?

My favorite Peters/Michaels book

I have read all of the Peters and Barbara Michaels novels and this is my favorite. Witty, fun, and well-paced. If you have any experience in the publishing industry, consider this a must read. I have listened to the version done by Grace Conlin, and this is superior.

A writer's farce

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! It was a lighthearted and interesting view into a writer's psyche,
