THE GIRL I USED TO BE

Narrator Amy McFadden makes listeners shiver from the very start of this eerie exploration of a family murder. She captures the angst of teenage girls, particularly Olivia, whose mother is murdered when she is in high school. McFadden's voice is spooky, an effect of her slightly raspy timbre. The danger is palpable from the graduation party, with its underage drinking, to the moment Olivia realizes that someone else, not her father, killed her mother. Listeners will want to hear this on road trips or long flights in order to cram in as many chapters as possible in one sitting. M.R. © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine [Published: JULY 2018]
