A ROUGH WAY TO GO

Victor Warren gives Pete a tired voice that is absolutely perfect for an unemployed new father who is not in the most loving relationship. When Pete learns a surfer he knows has died mysteriously, he becomes obsessed with finding out what happened. Naturally, he's met with resistance. Pete often comes across as justifiably exasperated, a trait Warren depicts well. Other memorable characters include a bar bouncer with a deep tough-guy voice and an investigator with a foreign accent. Pete's first-person account is enhanced by Warren's vocal portraits. This mystery keeps the listener guessing. M.B. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine [Published: SEPTEMBER 2024]
