Let’s take a look at Deadly Pasts, book 2 in the Agent Nora Wexler Mysteries
Hello again, dear audiobooks friends! We are continuing our series of spotlight articles with Deadly Pasts, the second book in the Agent Nora Wexler Mysteries. The novel is written by Jason Letts and the audiobook is brought to life by talented narrator Trudi Knoedler, while the production is almost 7 and a half hours in length.
You may remember that I reviewed Deadly Accounts a while ago and I said that it offers a good time from beginning to end and it’s made even better by the superb narration delivered by Trudi Knoedler. So you can imagine that I am more than excited to see what’s next for Nora.
Let’s take a look at the Publisher’s Summary for Deadly Pasts:
After a victorious return from Seattle, Nora Wexler discovers that she’s caught up in a catastrophic data breach at the FBI, leaving her without a job or a way to clear her name. While her new flame Travis Greer takes up the cause to set things right, Nora seizes the opportunity to visit some old college friends in Berkeley, CA.
Then, a bitter memory from college quickly resurfaces: the unsolved murder of their friend Maria after a night out on the town. No witnesses, no motive, just a faint memory of a handsome young man with whom she left the bar. While Nora decides to try and solve her lost friend’s case, free time becomes scarce when Nora’s friend’s sister Lauren, a freshmen at Berkeley, experiences a terrible tragedy at a fraternity house.
Now, I suggest that we get better acquainted with our narrator and author!
Professional audiobook narrator since 2015, voice actress Trudi Knoedler is a listed talent with Audiobook Creation Exchange (ACX.com) and Findaway Voices. Her books include the Agent Nora Wexler Mysteries by action-adventure author Jason Letts; the Sapphire Violin Trilogy of WWII-inspired novels and one novella by historical fiction author E.C. White; the Bernie O’Dea mystery series by journalist and mystery author Maureen Milliken; two time-travel romances by international author Christ Karlsen; and two fantasy fictions for the discontinued Valkyrie series by AJ Tipton.
She has also narrated a number of non-fiction self-help books for Findaway Voices. Having left the world of 9 to 5 office jobs in 2009 after a case of breast cancer, Trudi decided to pursue her lifelong love of acting and began training in the Shakespearean style with A Noise Within repertory company as well as acting modern roles with Milestone Theatre Company.
She brings a love of creating characters and of performing a variety of accents to her audiobook work. She has been a student of VO and audiobook stars PJ Ochlan, Patrick Fraley and Scott Brick. Between assignments, Trudi volunteers for AIRSLA.org, an audio internet reading service for the visually challenged.
Author Jason Letts is the #1 Bestselling Author of the Agent Nora Wexler Mystery Series, which has over 250,000 sales and has ranked as high as #26 in the Kindle Store. Since releasing his first book in 2010, he has been at the vanguard of publishing and marketing with his stories and the promotional platform he created, BookSends.com. In addition to being a book junkie, he also champions environmental causes and the fight against homelessness.
I will start to listen to Deadly Pasts as soon as I am done with my current projects and a review will be forthcoming. Until then take care, stay safe and don’t forget, always listen with your heart!
