CEMETERY ROAD

Those who listen to this marvelous audiobook discover quickly that Bienville is not a sleepy Mississippi town. Rather, Scott Brick's masterful narration highlights every nuance of Greg Iles's captivating novel about Marshall McEwan, a Bienville native who left the town and became an award-winning journalist. When McEwan returns to care for his ailing father, he renews relationships with former lovers and others while also uncovering dark secrets about the Poker Club and others who control every aspect of the town. Brick's ability to imbue the story's characters with credible Southern accents is particularly effective. But it's his perfect timing, coupled with the cadence of his delivery, that transforms this audiobook into a must-listen. D.J.S.
