THE NIGHT GATE

This audiobook is a great example of the magic that happens when a masterful author and a talented narrator come together to deliver a captivating story. In addition to effectively portraying the many characters—Scottish, British, and European; male and female; young and old—Peter Forbes convincingly voices Hitler, Goering, and de Gaulle. When forensics scientist Enzo Macleod is drawn out of retirement to advise on the body of a WWII soldier that was exposed by an uprooted tree, he happens into a current murder investigation. The two stories, set 70 years apart, are seamlessly woven together. With Forbes as the guide, listeners smoothly move back and forth from war-torn Europe to pandemic-constrained current times. Listeners will hang on till the end and then wish it weren’t over. E.Q. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award, 2021 Best Audiobook © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine [Published: APRIL 2021]
