Loreen Murphy hadn't meant to hire a male prostitute in Las Vegas. It was all just a big, stupid, expensive misunderstanding. Abbey Walsh never intended anyone to find out about the fact that she's being blackmailed. As a minister's wife, her sordid past was supposed to be a secret. Tiffany Vanderslice Dreyer never dreamed that she'd find herself up to her eyeballs in credit card debt from one mad moment of a shopping spree. She's an upstanding wife and mother with the perfect marriage . . . right?
A trip to Las Vegas to chaperone the school band lands three suburban housewives in scalding water. Abbey, Loreen, and Tiffany each find that their indiscretions refuse to stay in Vegas, and reparations must be made in Maryland. Orlagh Cassidy's bright, youthful voice trips lightly through the story, giving each woman a clear identity through nuanced vocal modulation and tonal variation. Her pacing maximizes the comic timing provided in the text. Cassidy shifts gears seamlessly to render more tender moments and brings an edge of sharpness when Abbey's family faces a thug's threats and when Tiffany's husband crosses the line from boorishness to emotional abuse. Despite the lightness of the plot, we hate to hear the story end. R.L.L. (c) AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine
