A WELCOME MURDER

The listener is a fly on the wall as five inhabitants of a run-down Ohio town recount their parts in this intriguing story of politics and murder. The unfolding plot involves the murder of a truly unpleasant character and its subsequent investigation. Adam Verner's narration is well paced and perfectly matched to the story. He allows the subtleties of key characters to shine. The shifting of point of view is strange at the start, and it's easy to miss a switch, which can lead to momentary confusion. However, this weakness doesn't detract from the enjoyment of an engaging story, and the listener eventually adjusts. K.J.P. © AudioFile 2017, Portland, Maine [Published: AUGUST 2017]
