LOOK CLOSER

This audiobook, which switches its time period and point of view for nearly every one of its 105 chapters, might have presented challenges for the listener were it not for the excellent performances of the four narrators. Will Damron, Hillary Huber, Elizabeth Garrett, and Steve West deftly take on the characters, clearly differentiating them by carefully conveying the outward personality of each one--that is, the personality that the author wants the listener to believe. Fear; frustration; anger; sexiness; and cold, calculating revenge are all part of the mix. The twisty plot moves the listener through a maze at a quick pace with surprising revelations around each bend. Listeners should just know to keep their ears open and not make any assumptions about what the characters are sharing. From start to finish, this is a compelling listen.
