ODD PARTNERS An Anthology

The theme of this anthology of short stories is unlikely pairs who solve a mystery together. With 10 narrators voicing stories from 19 mystery writers, the listener is in for a rich smorgasbord of audio experiences. The narrators have been carefully matched to their short stories and enhance the nuances of the plots. The production quality is top-notch, with smooth shifts between stories and narrators. While all the narrators bring their own strengths to the stories, the highlight may be Macleod Andrews's narration of Jacqueline Winspear's "A Dog Noir Story." He perfectly captures its characters and humor. With the multiple stories and voices, one can dip in and out at leisure. K.J.P. © AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine [Published: JULY 2019]
