So good! I love to listen to a humorous story. Jen Turano does not disappoint with Storing Up Trouble. Highly recommended!
Storing Up Trouble by Jen Turano is the 3rd delightful tale in the American Heiresses series. Each book can be read on its own, but you will be missing out if you do not read all three. I look forward to reading Jen Turano's novels because I am guaranteed a fun time from beginning to end. Storing Up Trouble is a well-written story that moves along at a fast clip and includes quirky characters. The author captured the time-period and the city of Chicago. We get a glimpse at what life is like for ladies working at Marshall Field's and Company as well as what suffragists endured. I was tickled that Harry Selfridge was included in the story. Beatrix Waterbury and Norman Nesbit are great characters. Beatrix is an unusual woman for her era which I just loved. Norman is like an absent-minded professor with money. Add in Beatrix's eccentric aunt, the women living with said aunt, Theodosia Robinson, Edgar (aka Lurch), Norman's precocious niece, Mort, and the cats. I laughed so often while reading Storing Up Trouble. I enjoyed the author's descriptions which allowed me to visualize the characters and scenes. There was one escapade after another starting with the robbing of the train. I could just picture Norman hanging off the horse and the cats chasing after the burglars. The dialogue between Norman and Beatrix was amusing. These two were meant to be together. Storing Up Trouble has drama, action, humor, mystery, and romance. I was sorry for this entertaining story to end. Storing Up Trouble is a whimsical historical novel with a train theft, a bevy of bloomers, two tenacious thieves, bothersome beauty blends, working woes, the complexities of chit chat, and a problematic pistol.
