このオーディオブックについて
"They're going to kill me soon," begins the note Amelia discovers in an antique hurdy-gurdy. From that moment on, the shy young woman finds herself doing all kinds of things she never thought possible. Between newfound intimacies and a risky journey into the past, Amelia comes to see herself in a whole new light. The scrawled note drives Amelia to find out what happened to the person who wrote it, identified only as "Hannah." Who was Hannah? Was she really murdered? Amelia's investigation leads her to dizzying new heights of romance and danger. Like a tightrope walker, she must not look down-especially when she finds herself in situations uncannily similar to those Hannah faced just before her murder. Like the Mrs. Pollifax mysteries for which Dorothy Gilman is famous, The Tightrope Walker features a spirited and unpretentious heroine and an intriguing mystery, enhanced by colorful settings and characters. Ruth Ann Phimister's skillful narration adds a personal dimension, making you care about Amelia and the fascinating and dangerous people she meets.
