Read by Laurence Bouvard

 

In Jericho Point a young woman’s body is found on the beach. Initially she is identified as Evan Delaney, but there appears to be some mistake.  Evan is not in fact dead, but very much alive.  What has actually happened is that her identity has been stolen and her life taken over by a ruthless woman who has not only been defrauding money from various Hollywood individuals but also a rather cruel drug boss. Much to Evan’s dismay, he wants his money back even if it means getting it back from Evan. Evan soon finds herself besieged by drug runners and suspected of murder. Her attempts to resolve the matter threaten to destroy not only her own life but also that of Jesse, her boyfriend.

 

Laurence Bouvard is an excellent narrator of audio books and it shows once again in the way Jericho Point is narrated. I have always enjoyed reading this series. Bouvard draws the reader in and certainly manages to portray all the characters with ease.  Jericho Point is an outstanding novel and it’s certainly worth listening to Laurence Bouvard’s narration.
