SILVER ANNIVERSARY MURDER Lucy Stone, Book 26

Narrator Karen White takes listeners on a journey from Maine to New York City as Lucy Stone investigates her childhood best friend's apparent suicide--which she suspects was murder. Lucy works to learn more about Beth Blake's adult life by visiting Beth's son and each of her four ex-husbands. White uses a gentle delivery instead of strong emotions to make the audiobook engaging listening. In doing so, she dramatizes the varied personalities of each of the five men. She does an especially effective job of making listeners relate to Meier's portrayal of PTSD, in particular the on-again, off-again panic that occurs in those who have suffered abuse. Overall, White makes this audiobook worth listening to. V.M.G. © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine [Published: OCTOBER 2018]
