Review at Dear Author

I’m over at Dear Author with a review of Misdirected by Lucy Parker, narrated by Nicola Coughlan & Gwilym Lee. As delightful as I’ve come to expect from this author with the added bonus of extremely good narration.  For bonus points, it’s also in the Audible Plus catalogue so members can listen for free.
