I listened to The Temp by Michelle Frances, narrated by Susan Lyons. This was fun; I liked it better than Frances's first novel (The Girlfriend), which included animal abuse and other nastiness. The Temp had some plotlines familiar to anyone who's ever watched a Lifetime movie, but with interesting tweaks and mashups. I did spot one "surprise" quite early on; another twist that I expected--the author seemed to lay the groundwork for it--didn't happen.
The narrator was good, especially in some of the suspenseful scenes--she added to the suspense but wasn't over the top.
