A saucy chapter ahead! Rachel finally has her day trip to the coast with Mitch which brings on a real ‘WILL THEY OR WON’T THEY?’ moment.
Not to mention the outrageous conversation she has with her Boss, Helmut ,after he returns from a boozy lunch.
A more laid back week for Mr Fletcher – only four male characters for him to perform. And I must says he brings each one to life superbly!
AT LAST – Rachel finally gets to present her first EVER news bulletin!
But all doesn’t go as well as she’d hoped. Could she blame her clumsy first bulletin on a frightening delivery to her desk only hours before?
On the upside, Mitch gives her another opportunity to spend some time with him and FINALLY she agrees.
Rachel is even making progress with the concept of making sensible decisions about her social life – ditching the nightclub scene and drinking with the girls for time with family – even though time with Lou is never going to be a picnic…
A challenging week for Alan Fletcher – having to voice TWELVE male characters. Not an easy task by any means but being the true professional he is, he does a sterling job.
Let me know your thoughts about this latest instalment in the comments section. Enjoy!
After the dramatic events of Chapter Fifteen, Rachel is now facing the consequences – not only for her erratic drunken behaviour at a high profile fashion show – but is also likely suffering from PTSD after the Collins Street bombing.
On top of all that, a package arrives from Rachel’s Devoted Admirer X and it’s not from the gift emporium at David Jones.
And just when Rachel is feeling ready to tell her boss about her stalker’s latest delivery, he launches into a full-scale attack over her public pash. Mr Fletcher had fun playing this role – voicing Helmut Becker – but I’m sure it’s not the kind of language Dr Karl ever used!!
AND if you’re still missing Neighbours (don’t you love this flashback photo of Fletch and Jackie Woodburne!) at least you still get to hear the dulcet tones of Alan Fletcher in MAKING HEADLINES!
In Chapter Thirteen, a family reunion puts Rachel’s dubious cooking talents to the test – while her sister Lou ruffles feathers with some snarky comments about Rachel’s love life.
It’s timely then that Rachel’s pal Kate may soon have a solution for their accommodation dilemma.
But amid the celebrations, the sinister letters from Rachel’s Secret Admirer continue to keep coming, raising concerns among her work colleagues.
It’s a shorter chapter this week, so a lighter workload for Mr Fletcher – only two male characters – both are brilliant. Take a listen and let me know your thoughts in the ‘comments’ section.
This is a shorter chapter than usual as it marks a pivotal point in Rachel and Tim’s relationship and is quite a feisty, public scene. Those who live in Melbourne might recognise real-life restaurant Bistro Thierry but you may not be used to hearing Alan Fletcher swearing like a trouper… !! Yep, he’s playing the character of Tim who has plenty to say when he learns about a secret Rachel has been hiding. Listen here to find out more:
I’d love to hear how you’re enjoying the book so far! Let me know in the comments section.
