THE MIDNIGHT RIDE

With nods to the infamous Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum art heist and to Paul Revere's historic ride, this audiobook begins with a fascinating premise. Narrator Corey Carthew creates credible distinctions between the three main characters: MIT student Hailey Gordon, who takes risks at a casino and lands in the middle of a murder; Nick Patterson, an ex-con who finds Hailey with the body of the man who was supposed to help change his life; and history professor Adrian Jensen, who unexpectedly finds a clue about a Revolutionary War secret. Carthew matches the pacing and tension of the story as the three find themselves in danger, but he can't overcome occasionally convoluted plot points or an ending that many may find unsatisfying.
