DAY OF THE DEAD Frieda Klein, Book 8

The voice of Frieda Klein, the object of a serial murderer’s obsession, is crucial to this riveting audiobook. She must be fiercely disciplined, yet unfailingly gentle and empathetic with others in order for the listener to understand why so many people love her. Beth Chalmers is impeccable. Whether you’ve been with this series from the beginning or are tuning in here for the climax, you will understand Frieda through Chalmers’s marvelous rendition. Also, French makes it easy to infer what has gone before in Frieda’s story, and you’ll be on tenterhooks as you wait to learn if the mistakes of others will finally kill her. Chalmers can apparently do anything in the way of accents and characters, but her Frieda is a chef d’oeuvre. Brava. B.G.
