SIX WAKES

A great advantage to having an author perform her own audiobook is that she knows what characters are thinking. The strongest feature of Mur Lafferty's narration is the insight she brings to the way lines of dialogue should be spoken and where emphasis should be placed in sentences. Lafferty's voice is clear, and her pacing is good, but her range is limited, and she makes little effort to distinguish individual character voices, so it's frequently hard to keep track of which character is speaking or tell where dialogue stops and narrative begins. Aside from that, Lafferty is a decent narrator, and listeners will enjoy her performance of this imaginative story of clones solving the mystery of their own murders.
