THE BERESFORD

Theo Solomon adopts a steady, unhurried pace as he narrates this horror story wrapped inside a thriller inside a mystery. The occupants of the lowest floors of the Beresford apartment building, owned by Mrs. May, are caught in a bizarre loop. Tenants arrive and settle in, become friends, and are killed by a resident. Sixty seconds later, the next renter arrives. And the story repeats. Solomon's unemotional performance captures the horror of murder, of the disposing of bodies, of being trapped because nothing changes and someone always dies. Solomon's soft, crisp delivery never falters in portraying affable Abe Schwartz, innocent Blair Conroy, slightly hysterical Gail, and even enigmatic Mrs. May. Uncover the secret of the Beresford at your own risk--it may terrify you. M.B.K. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine [Published: SEPTEMBER 2021]
