NIGHTWORK

Narrator Will Damron displays a skillful range in this thriller. Harry perfects pickpocketing and cracking safes at a young age--skills born of necessity because his loving but poor family struggles to make ends meet. Need evolves into a lifestyle as Harry continues his nighttime burglaries to create a life of travel and academia. But when Harry falls in love with Miranda, his desire to settle down coincides with a past mistake that comes back to haunt him. Harry leaves Miranda to protect her, but the two are drawn together again, and Harry must face an old associate who doesn't share his code of honor. Damron seamlessly transitions among many accents, deepening a twang and elongating vowels, and he portrays sisterly love with a fierce tone that conveys protectiveness.
