THE ROBBER GIRL

Narrator Kimberly Woods deftly delivers the puzzle of the Robber Girl, keeping listeners guessing. The Robber Girl knows she should listen to her dagger and help Gentleman Jack find the gold that is rightfully his. But when a robbery goes wrong, the Robber Girl finds her world turned upside down. Woods's narration starts out tough as she portrays the skeptical Robber Girl and transitions to a softer, kinder voice as the girl's identity and past are unveiled. Woods's pacing keeps the mystery engaging and adds to the rich sensory details of the story. The rough voice of the dagger as it tries to wield power is sharp, and the juxtaposition of the dagger and the calm judge works well to depict the conflict in this emotional mystery.
