About this listen

Laura Hunt was the ideal modern woman: beautiful, elegant, highly ambitious, and utterly mysterious. No man could resist her charms, not even the hardboiled NYPD detective sent to find out who turned her into a faceless corpse. As this tough cop probes the mystery of Laura's death, he becomes obsessed with her strange power.

Laura won lasting renown as an Academy Award-nominated 1944 film, the greatest noir romance of all time. Vera Caspary's equally haunting novel is remarkable for its stylish, hardboiled writing, its electrifying plot twists, and its darkly complex characters - including a woman who stands as the ultimate femme fatale.

I struggled with the first few chapters of this book. I chose it partially because I previously enjoyed readings by L.J.Ganser. However, for some reason I couldn't enjoy this. I persevered,and am glad I did. It's really interesting style,with each character telling their own version of events. I'm going to start over again. Similar to the Black Mask Theatre of the Ear audiobook which features L.J.Ganser, Anthony Heald ,Grover Gardener and other excellent narrators and a must for classic noir lovers.

Perseverance pays off!
