Expect the Unexpected

by Aggie Blum Thompson, Stephanie Einstein (Narrator)

Emily does not like change—she spends each day working as a children’s librarian and every evening watching television with her cat, Miss Marple. She maintains her house exactly the way it was before her father died. But one day, a mysterious theft at the library pushes Emily out of her routine, forcing her to question if she really is better off all alone.

Aggie Blum Thompson worked as a newspaper reporter, covering cops, courts, and trials, with a healthy dose of the mundane mixed in before turning to thrillers. A native New Yorker, she now lives just over the Washington, DC, line in Bethesda, Maryland with her husband, two children, cat, and dog.

Emily lives a planned and ordinary life alone with her cat until the day a stranger walks out if the library with a book he did not check out just as she closed up. She sets off in pursuit and along the way she sees a play, meets some strangers, and begins to realize all she has been missing.

Very sweet. Very nice.

"For your tears."

A strange, very short story, well performed by Stephanie Einstein, her voice a perfect fit for the tale.
Only 5 minutes and a free download from the Audible Plus programme, so we'll worth giving it a try.
