Maria Bello

Award-winning television and film actress Maria Bello, known for her roles in A History of Violence, The Cooler, Prisoners, Coyote Ugly, The Jane Austen Book Club, and more, has just narrated her first audiobook. Bello will be the voice behind BETRAYED, the upcoming novel by New York Times bestselling and Edgar Award winning author Lisa Scottoline. The much anticipated book and audiobook, published by Macmillan Audio, will both go on sale on November 25, 2014.

Mega-bestselling author Scottoline has already penned twenty-one novels and has twenty-five million copies of her books in print in the United States. She is delighted to have Bello animate her beloved characters with her strong, lively, and passionate voice.

“Maria Bello is one of the best actresses in Hollywood today,” Scottoline exclaimed, “she has a genius for portraying smart and strong, yet vulnerable, heroines like the ones I write. She sounds incredibly wonderful in the audiobook of Betrayed, and she understands these characters as women, professionals, and even mothers and daughters. I couldn’t be more honored to have her record the audiobook of this novel, and I couldn’t be more pleased with how great it turned out!”

The novel stars Judy Carrier, one of the attorneys at Scottoline’s famous all-women Philadelphia law firm Rosato & Associates. Carrier agrees to help her aunt, recently diagnosed with breast cancer, look into the supposedly natural death of her dear friend Iris, an undocumented worker at a local farm. As the investigation ensues, Carrier is lead into an underground world that is far more dangerous than she ever imagined. Judy has to dig to uncover what really happened to Iris, and at the same time unearth secrets in her very own family. Bello’s ability to play resilient, determined, intelligent women who fight for answers and strive to uncover truth shines through in her depiction of Carrier and the accompanying cast, adding an additional layer of depth to this already thrilling story.

The program will be available wherever audiobooks are sold in stores and online.
