Naked Once More

A Jacqueline Kirby Mystery

De: Elizabeth Peters

Narrado por: Grace Conlin

She may be a best-selling author, but ex-librarian Jacqueline Kirby's views on the publishing biz aren't fit to print. In fact, she's thinking of trading celebrity for serenity and a house far away from fiendish editors and demented fans, when her agent whispers the only words that could ever make her stay: Naked in the Ice.

Seven years ago, this blockbuster skyrocketed Kathleen Darcy to instant fame. Now, the author's heirs are looking for a writer to pen the sequel. It's an opportunity no novelist in her right mind would pass up, and there's no doubting Jacqueline's sanity...until she starts digging through the missing woman's papers - and her past. Until she gets mixed up with Kathleen's enigmatic lover. Until a series of nasty accidents convince her much too late that someone wants to bring Jacqueline's story - and her life - to a premature end.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Kirby, with her outrageous clothes and equally outrageous mouth, is a great companion to spend a couple of days with....Peters knows how to knit a good yarn." ( Chicago Sun-Times)

Great series

I love this Amelia Peabody series. The heroine is a feisty woman based in the late 1800's early 1900's. I have always been interested in Egyptology and this is a wonderful mystery series set in this context. Early feminine Activist. Great humor and character development.

One of my favorites

Love the female lead , story was great and ending I did not see coming at all !

Fun

Elizabeth Peters is one of my favorite authors and she almost always delivers. Naked is entertaining and the ending is a surprise, which is always fun.

K

This is the second book I've read by Elizabeth Peters. I have loved both of the books. Grace Conklin was the perfect narrator for this story. I will watch for her narration in other books.

A pleasant Read

When I first started listening to Elizabeth Peter's books I thought there was way too much detail but as I have listened to more and more of her books, I realize the detail is what hooks you and keeps you feeling like part of the adventure. This was my first Kirby mystery but I know I will be listening to them all before long. The character is engaging, a little sassy and very likable. I would recommend this book and suggest listening to the series to fully enjoy the authors ability to tie the stories together.

Excellent mystery

These books written by Elizabeth Peters gives us strong women who reflect to the world exactly who they are. I love that her dialogue talks up to us and never down. Figuring out who done it wasn't the big surprise but left us with a jaw drop revelation.

Good Book but Poor performance by Plus.

Just as I get interested in these Plus titles, something stalls and I can hear no more. I have tried restarting numerous times and ways, but the problem persists with this and other books. Very disappointing.

One of my all-time favorites

Grace Conlin is reasonably well suited to read the Jacqueline Kirby books. I think I’m getting used to her style.
I’ve loved all the Elizabeth Peters books for a long time, and this one is one of my favorites.

Great Book

Wonderfully read. I love this author, so I might be biased, but I thoroughly enjoyed this one!

Not as well done as previous Kirby's

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

No

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

No

What didn’t you like about Grace Conlin’s performance?

Previously the performance diferentiated between characters far better than this. I felt as if Ms. Conlin was just reading me a story ... not acting a story.
