ROCK PAPER SCISSORS

Narrators Richard Armitage and Stephanie Racine introduce Amelia and Adam Wright, who travel to Scotland for their 10th anniversary, hoping to save their struggling marriage. The story is told through the alternating points of view of the Wrights, and later, through that of the mysterious Robin. During a raging snowstorm, they arrive at Blackwater Chapel, a guesthouse. Racine's unpretentious Amelia is frustrated by her husband's indifference toward her and hero worship of a mystery writer for whom he's written screenplays. Armitage's egotistical and distant Adam belittles his wife and shows warmth only for their dog. As they settle into their bitterly cold room, endless surprises and shocks begin. Both Racine and Armitage affectingly create unreliable narrators, with Robin adding a strong dose of horror--and maybe reality. S.G.B. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine [Published: NOVEMBER 2021]
