Episode three in the life and times of Jamie and Max picks up where book two left off; thus having flounced off in a huff, Jamie finds herself in the middle of nowhere without transport or habitation. From these dubious circumstances she pitches up in the middle of Max's investigation complete with a bloodhound called Fleas, she has acquired along the way.
As with the earlier books, this is a great romp. Max Holt is every girls dream, but Jamie is resisting his charms, intent on a scoop of the lifetime for her newspaper. Unfortunately, keen to keep her story to herself Jamie places herself in danger with a gang of mobsters.
I missed Max's sister Dedi, but Muffin, the computer with the voice of Marilyn Monroe was much in evidence, although being installed in a truck was not too her liking. Computers’ going through the menopause find these things trying! Especially a computer in the early stages of an affair with a laptop!
Lorelei King is magnificent. She has the most incredible range of voices. Thank
you Lorelei, you really bring these recordings to life for me.
