COLD VICTORY

Bronson Pinchot embraces the tone and accents of the international characters in this political thriller. In 1947, military attachés gather at a party. An American and a Russian diplomat agree to a friendly ski race across the Finnish countryside. The audiobook focuses on the adventure of the race, but real intrigue builds around the international diplomacy that mounts once word gets out about it. Pinchot's subtle performance captures the action of the competition. He also provides a quiet but tense soundscape for the backroom dialogue, which has the wives doing most of the talking as they work to avoid a dangerous propaganda disaster. Pinchot skillfully navigates the accents and characters, providing a satisfying performance. S.P.C. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine [Published: FEBRUARY 2024]
