AUDIOFILE REVIEW : "The dual narration in this enjoyable audiobook is artful with a minor distraction. Elizabeth Knowelden handles the first-person account of gone girl Emily/Cat, a runaway wife and mother starting a new life in London. The mystery is why this blessed and lucky woman has run away from all who love her. The audio puzzle is why Emily/Cat has a Manchester accent when everyone else in the story-- voiced by Paul Fox--including Emily's parents, husband, and twin sister, speaks standard English. That aside, both performers have smooth, well-trained, and beautiful voices and handle the drama with conviction and flair. The story does not necessarily convince, but it is well made and interesting, with a twist at the end you will not see coming." B.G. © AudioFile 2015, Portland, Maine

Suspense - One Step Too Far - 1st person N.England plus dialogue

AUDIOFILE REVIEW : "Meet Mary Coles and her husband, Graham, who move into a cottage with an orchard and farm fields, and Eliza, who lived in the house 150 years before and recognized the evil that dwelt there. Elizabeth Knowelden narrates Mary's story, and Lucinda Clare, Eliza's. The storylines intertwine as each meets a red-haired man who is at the center of the evil. Without pause, the story shifts back and forth several times within each chapter, with the time frame being distinguished only by a change in narrator. These abrupt shifts break the tension and the building horror. As the story moves around in time, Mary and Eliza grapple with the evil man's growing hold on them, and Knowelden and Clare manage to keep the listener engaged in a chilling tale."

Thriller / Paranormal - The Stopped Heart - 1st person - M/F London dialogue

Historical Fiction - Whisper Of The Moon Moth - 3rd person narrative - Dialogue M/F London

AUDIOFILE EARPHONES AWARD WINNER. REVIEW : "Narrator Elizabeth Knowelden gives a vivaciously entertaining performance of this mystery, set in the English countryside in 1909. She splendidly portrays Flo, lady's maid to Lady Hardcastle. The two forward thinking, spirited, capable women have become known for their sleuthing skills. This comes in handy when there's a murder at Lord Riddlethorpe's personal racetrack during a summer holiday, when the estate is filled with guests. Knowelden's theatrical performance is 100% engaged as she perfectly renders a large cast of characters, men and women from gentry to servants. The mystery of the tampered race car is entertaining, but it's the character portrayals that make the story shine. This is the third audiobook of the series, yet listeners can jump right in with this installment." M.M.G. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2017, Portland, Maine

Comedy / Mystery - Death Around The Bend - 1st person narrative - Comedy Dialogue RP/London

2018 AUDIE AWARD FINALIST. AUDIOFILE REVIEW: "Narrator Elizabeth Knowelden doesn't shy away from the explicit sex scenes or assassinations that fill this audiobook. A prequel to the Unhewn Trilogy, it tells the tale of the final test that Pyrre Lakatur must complete to become a priestess for Ananshael--the god of death. One of two witnesses for the two-week test of assassinations is a self-proclaimed sex addict, Ela, whom Knowelden portrays as a sultry woman who enjoys life. Knowelden showcases Ela's sense of humor, in contrast to the more serious Pyrre. The other witness she accurately portrays as bit of a curmudgeon. Knowelden varies her pace to showcase the three characters' relationships, taking full advantage of the dialogue among them." J.E.M. 2018 Audies Finalist © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine
