Two Households... in Not So Fair Verona
Review of the Amazon Original audiobook simultaneously released with the Amazon Kindle eBook (August 29, 2019)

Jeffery Deaver's Verona takes Shakespeare's star-crossed lovers from Romeo and Juliet as its inspiration. Andrew Nagle and Loi Yung have no plans to suffer the same fates as their precursors. Deaver first portrays them as the apparent innocent pawns of their respective crime families. Behind the scenes there is a whole other game being played out which isn't revealed until the flashback conclusion to this crime novella. The story takes place in an otherwise anonymous USA city.

I listened to the audiobook edition as narrated by Scott Merriman who was fine in all voices without exaggerating any ethnic characteristics.

Verona is one of the short stories/novellas in the occasional series of Amazon Original Kindle eBooks/Audible Audio audiobooks released on August 29, 2019 as part of the Jeffery Deaver Short Stories Collection.
