About this listen

In the expert hands of two of the mystery world's top storytellers, being a housewife takes on a whole new meaning. These original stories explore the dark side of the housewife psyche and are guaranteed to delight. But be cautioned: These stories—"GDMFSOB" by Nevada Barr (author of the Anna Pigeon series) and "Acid Test" by Sara Paretsky (author of the V.I. Warshawski novels)—are meant to be listened to alone while sipping a glass of wine. Do not operate a motor vehicle or handle any kind of weapon for one hour after listening. Guaranteed to raise your blood pressure and your craving for revenge.

Such a shame - both stories were really good, but the reader of the first story was flat and sounded bored out of her mind, and the second one clearly had somewhere else to be as she raced through. So frustrating!

Great stories, terrible readers
