The Good House by Ann Leary
5.0

As I searched for a new audio book, this was as standout as there were no negative reviews. The many faceted praise was well deserved, and I’m so glad I listened rather than read, because the narrator was excellent! A good reader adds a whole new dimension! Set in a small, New England coastal town, the story revolves around a potentially alcoholic protagonist, Hildy Good. Colorful, feisty Hildy is a descendent of Sarah Good,, who had been hanged as a witch in Salem centuries earlier. The townspeople and potential clients find this aspect quite fascinating, and Hildy doesn’t hesitate to take full advantage! The rich plot ripples along with humor, nostalgia, romance and a bit of suspense! Enchanting! I find myself missing crafty, endearing Hildy and her colorful world. Five stars, easily.
