MISSING DAUGHTER

Narrator Mark Owen is required to be the voice of Everyman in this chilling audiobook, which tackles every parent's worst nightmare: the disappearance of a child. Ryan and Karen Lane discover their 12-year-old daughter, Maddie, missing from her bed one morning. Her bedroom window is open. The police consider everyone connected with the Lane family a suspect, starting with potential runaway herself. The versatile Owen is up to the considerable challenge of voicing all those associated with Maddie: family, friends, acquaintances, even the police. He skillfully articulates the changes in the main characters, especially volatile Ryan and tragedy-prone Karen, as the investigation drags on for years. The fast-paced story and Owen's fine delivery will keep listeners engaged right through the twisty ending. D.E.M. © AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine [Published: JULY 2019]
