 ☆☆☆☆☆☆

The story set in 1908 Los Angeles. A different time. 

But women were finding their voice and their life plans.

Anna Blanc might have been one of those women.

Anna is fearless and clever and unstoppable.

She has a faith that is just planted in her. 

Anna doesn't even think about it. She just lives it.

 

 Anna is police matron on the LAPD. She has a clever

mind and she out does the men on cases. They do not 

appreciate her. Well, except for Detective Joe Singer.

He knows how smart she is. How capable. How shrewd.

And he is tortured with how sexy she is. Along with

the rest of the LAPD.

 

Anna and Joe work together, begrudgingly, to solve

this very important case. She feels as though she

owes a debt to a long time friend. They both are

trying to stop an all out war between races in LA.

 

Jennifer Kincheloe has written another Anna Blanc tale

that has it all. Humor. Drama. Surprise. Life lessons.

Family. Romance. Anna will never fail to shock you.

The Woman in the Camphor Trunk is narrated by the

wonderful Moira Quirk. Ms Quirk is genius with her voice.

She is perfect for this story. While she is exactly right

for Anna Blanc, she does a great job for everyone in the

story. I was so glad to hear her doing this second

Anna Blanc story.

The Secret Life of Anna Blanc

by Jennifer Kincheloe

Audio Version

 

Anna Blanc is a spoiled, determined, oblivious,

observant socialite. She is the star of this story,

set in 1907 Los Angeles.

Anna Blanc wants to be a detective on the LAPD.

She is willing to do anything to get this job.

Turns out, she is a great detective.
Jennifer Kincheloe did a great job writing

this leading character. As well as the

whole cast. There is romance. I had a few moments

that I gasped in surprise and a couple of shocks.

I wont say any more about the story itself.

But I will say with great conviction,

this was the best audio book I have listened

to in a very long time. I listen to a lot of them.

I like most all of them. Some I like very very much.

And then, there is rarely, the story that is so

different. The characters, the situations, the

writing, describing the places....I can see

exactly the town Anna Blanc runs roughshod

over to solve the crime. I can see the people,

houses, wardrobes. Marvelous. It's a great story,

that is just written wonderfully well. But on top

of that, it is hilarious! Anna is so out there.

And you would want to be friends with her.

 Then, we get to the narration. Her name is

Moira Quirk. She did a fantastic job of the

whole story. She was Anna Blanc. Without

question. It was her. I can easily say that without
the dazzling and colorful voice of Moira Quirk,
Anna Blanc would not be the same brilliant story.

I would highly recommend this story if you enjoy

some laughs with your listen. If you like something

a little different here and there. If you love when

the narration is perfect for the story. And if you love

getting your moneys worth. Its almost 13 hours long.

But there is not one minute of slow time.
