A pivotal chapter for Rachel in both her professional and private lives… starting with a girls’ night where Rachel and her friends gather to give Kate support after her drink-spiking episode.

Then FINALLY, Rachel and Mitch get to spend an evening together. And I thought last week’s chapter was spicy! 😱

There’s also a very strange interaction between Rachel and her boss which leaves Rachel wondering if she’s made the right decision about Friday night drinks…

Only four male characters for Mr Fletcher to play this week – but it did require the ability to switch from the seductive tones of Mitch Allan to the steely anger of Helmut Becker in the space of a few pages. Of course he did all this perfectly – as you will hear.

A celebratory chapter indeed – Rachel finally has a new home with Kate AND receives some great news from her boss. She even starts to wonder if Helmet is as bad as all the rumours make out.

But working your way up the ladder is never an easy climb… Rachel is then left shocked by her boss’ reaction to the letters from her stalker – plus a colleague who will play a major part in her new role is under-whelmed by her sudden elevation. Will this affect her chances of success?

And while her buddies are thrilled for her, why does a special card from Mitch leave Rachel feeling empty?

A great week for Mr Fletcher – only four male voices to record and a short chapter so he’s had more time to workout at the gym!

In Chapter Twelve, we see Rachel start trying to bring some order to her life. Firstly by finding a place to live! Which one of her girlfriends do you think would be the best match as a housemate for Rachel?

But when it comes to her love life, Rachel’s world is still full of indecision – especially now Damien has started working at Network Six. At least he gets a chance to explain a little about why his situation is ALSO complicated. Maybe it’s better if Rachel stays single for now!

The busiest recording week of all for Mr Fletcher – NINE male characters this week!! My favourite is Deano the bogan who Rachel meets on a night out with the girls.

In Chapter Eleven, the Channel Six make-up team unveil a wonderful surprise that delights Rachel.

We also see Rachel and Mitch’s relationship take a romantic turn but her uncertainty about them having a future means follows up on an invitation from Damien. Listen here to find out how that plays out!

It also occurred to me – reading this book again after a ten year gap – that Rachel IS probably drinking rather a lot – what do you think? Could it be connected to the fact that the letters from her ‘secret admirer’ are becoming increasingly threatening?

As for Mr Fletcher’s involvement this week, his job was quite a hefty one with EIGHT different voices to record – the biggest number I’ve asked of him yet! Hopefully you’ll enjoy this chapter – especially Fletch’s voicing of Rex the make-up artist. (he he he!)

In Chapter Ten, all of the men in Rachel’s life unexpectedly collide at a major TV show launch party which – like a domino chain collapsing – leads to a chain of disastrous results. Rachel seeks refuge from the fallout with a girlfriend who gives her some sage advice. But there’s plenty of drama unfolding…

Mr Fletcher was a little taken aback when he realised he’d be voicing SIX male characters this week – but hey , that’s nothing compared to MY input so he really should quit complaining! 😜
