Armchair Audies Solo Female Narration nominee--The Unseen Guest (The Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place
#3) by Maryrose Wood, narrated by,Katherine Kellgren
We again have a fun adventure. As I said in my reviews of
the last two books there are a lot of questions that need answering and this
one brings us a few steps closer to those answers but we also end up with more
questions. Is Lord Ashton’s father still alive? What is the curse on the
family? And what does it have to do with the incorrigible’s and Penelope? And
so many more…
It was very interesting when the children are sent out into
the woods to help find the Admiral’s ostrich and how once they were in the
woods again they started becoming a bit feral again , we also get a hint of
where the children lived for awhile. I hope there will be some flashbacks in
the future books about the children’s time in the woods and how they came to be
there. The Admiral is not a good man and it seems like Penelope is the only one
who see’s it but she has a plan to help out Lord Ashton’s “widowed” mother get
out of her engagement to the rascal. But if you have been keeping up with these
books you know that Penelope’s plans never go as planned. I really enjoyed the séance
it cracked me up, Mrs. Lanesko was so much fun.
I really want the next book right now but I guess I have to
wait till November. I do hope that we will get some answers even if it is not
all the answers but some would be nice because this book just brought even more
questions.
As with the first two books Katherine Kellgren’s narration
is so fabulous with a lot more people making wolf sounds, and an ostrich we can’t
forget the ostrich! Every voice is distinct and every animal sound/voice is
fabulous loved Mrs. Lenesko(sp. audio) in this one too. Kellgren’s range is so
unbelievable that at times you wonder if there is more than one voice narrating
but no it is all Katherine. It is books like this one that make me realize why
Katherine Kellgren is one of my all time favorite narrators. This book is up
for an Audie Award for Best Solo Female Narration and I do believe I have found
my winner!
I highly recommend this series I think these are a great
roadtrip series, they are fun for the whole family, and they aren’t too long
with this one being the longest at 6 hrs 50 min. so even if you aren’t going
too far you could easily get one whole book done and everyone in the car will
enjoy them!
4 ½ Stars
