This fascinating audiobook should carry a parental warning about sexually explicit content. A fairy princess uses detective skills she learned while with the Los Angeles Police to investigate a double homicide in Fairyland. Seriously, Fairyland. Author Laurell K. Hamilton pulls it off, largely because of the skills of performer Laural Merlington, who brings the characters to sensuous life. Her breathy, lengthy (all of Disc 11) descriptions of orgies between Princess Meredith and her stable of lovers manage to be erotic and somehow respectable. When Merlington gives voice to burly characters like Killing Frost and Darkness, she continues her convincing performance.
