A DEEPER SLEEP Kate Shugak, Book 15

Listeners are taken to rural Alaska to follow PI Kate Shugak as, yet again, a man she is certain is guilty of murder is declared not guilty by a jury. When a mother and her son are shot dead during an apparent robbery, Kate is certain he is behind the murders and sets out to ensure he is held accountable this time. Narrator Marguerite Gavin captures the feel of small-town life, creating believable characters and using authentic-sounding pronunciations of local names and places. Her characterization of Kate is particularly notable, emphasizing her strength of character, as well as her unique voice. Gavin's voicing of Kate's aunties is pitch-perfect, creating delightful larger-than-life characters. K.J.P. © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine [Published: MAY 2022]
