Next – almost like a game of Clue or an episode of Murder She Wrote – a character is found dead and everyone is a suspect, because everyone had a reason to hate this guy. As Clea and Amy bring more and more people into their “audition video”, it morphs into a documentary about the town and then becomes a sequel to Clea’s only claim to fame, a porn flick.
He seems an unlikely hero, but in Crusie’s hands, Phin and his best friend Wes, the town’s police chief, are the area’s hottest eligible bachelors. He runs a book store with a pool table when he isn’t managing town business.
The current mayor, Phin, is a young, single father who lives with his 9-year-old daughter and his mother. Temptation has had a Phineas T Tucker as mayor almost for time immemorial. Listeners learn from Sophie early on how to get your mark to agree with you – 1. The Dempseys have been cons for time immemorial – their father is currently on the lam, and the women, along with brother Davy, have also picked up the skills. And then everything is turned on its head. The Dempsey women are headed to the home of Clea Whipple to make an audition tape for her.
There are so many things to love about Welcome to Temptation – starting with the great name the story by Jennifer Crusie, whose writing style is truly unmatched in contemporary romance the narration by Aasne Vigesaa, who manages to create complete and complex character voices for each person in the tale and what about that title! Sophie and Amy Dempsey, daughters of a thousand felons, are driving into the small town of Temptation, Ohio – greeted by the town’s friendly sign, Welcome to Temptation – when they are t-boned by a local couple.
