THE GUIDE

Delivering the author's descriptions of beautiful scenery, narrator Mark Deakins paints easy-to-visualize images of Kingfisher Lodge, a high-end resort in the wilderness. Following multiple tragedies and a recent pandemic, Jack takes a job as a fishing guide. From the early hours of his arrival, he is uneasy--certain areas are off-limits, his boss behaves suspiciously, and answers are elusive. Deakins's narration captures Jack's apprehension, focus, and determination. The first guest he is assigned to guide, Allison, is a country singer who is taking a break from her celebrity world. The two find themselves drawn together as they seek to discover what's really going on at the lodge. With pacing that perfectly matches the slow build of suspense and distinct character voices, this audiobook is a must-listen. K.S.M. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine [Published: SEPTEMBER 2021]
