"By maintaining a vigorous, satisfying pace, Susan O'Malley holds the listener's attention
admirably. Her reading is intelligent and agreeable."AudioFile

"What the European male fails to understand is that the American Girl is innocent by definition, mythically
innocent; and that her purity depends upon nothing she says or does...."Leslie Fiedler

When Frederick, an American expatriate traveling in Europe, meets the commonplace, newly rich Miller
family from New York, he is charmed by the daughter, Daisy, and her "inscrutable combination of audacity
and innocence". The Millers have no perception of the complex code that underlies behavior in European
society, and Winterbourne is astonished at the girl's unworldliness and her mother's unconcern when Daisy
accompanies him to the Castle of Chillon. Some months later, he meets the family in Rome, where Daisy
has aroused suspicion among the American colony by being seen constantly with a third-rate Italian.
Ostracized by former friends who think her "intrigue" has gone too far, Daisy denies that she is engaged
to Giovanelli. Publicly, Winterbourne defends her as simply uncultivated, but privately, he hesitates.

When a woman's husband is killed, you're susposed to do something about it."

Phil (short for Philomena) Byrnes and her husband ran their Gloucester MA detective agency until he was killed at his desk. It's not a case of her stepping into his spot to keep the family business running  -- she was a working detective long before his death -- and she makes for a refreshingly prickly widow.

Now Phil runs the agency with the help of her assistant Buzzy, with occasional forays to Papa's Bar, for a little liquid refreshment now and then, and some occasional paternal advice from Papa. She's also helped out in her investigation by Detective Jim Colman, a member of Gloucester's finest, who has a soft spot for Phil, though she seems largely unaware of it. Evidently she's still trying to come to terms with her husband's murder.

Episode 6: WAITING FOR REDEMPTION, Part 1: Phil begins to uncover clues about her husbands murder. Part 1 of 2
