THE CIRCUMFERENCE OF THE WORLD

Part detective novel, part fairy tale, this complex story about the hunt for a book that disappears after one has read it is expertly delivered by a trinity of talent. Stefan Rudnicki takes on the majestic tones of mysterious celestial beings that interject their commentary throughout the narrative. Mathematician Delia Welegtabit first discovers the disappearing book; her tantalizing personality is embodied by Justine Eyre, whose light British accent bridges Delia's journey from her South Pacific roots to her current home in London. Maxwell Caulfield's mature voice is an odd match for the naïve London bookdealer Daniel Chase, but the unctuous Eastern European inflections Caulfield employs for mob boss Oskar Lens are highly effective. This collaborative effort results in a well-orchestrated listening experience. E.E. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine [Published: MAY 2024]
