It's marvelous how well
Amy Rubinate expresses the testy personality of Maura. Equally well done is the pushy and unwittingly rude New Yorker Althea Melville. With her clear and well modulated voice
Amy Rubinate transports us to County Cork, Ireland. The reading pace is good, easily drawing us into the story.
Ms. Rubinate has a captivating voice enhancing the pleasure of a well written and fast unfolding novel.
Amy Rubinate also narrated Book 1,
Buried in a Bog, by Sheila Connolly.
