AN ENCHANTING CASE OF SPIRITS

Piper Goodeve and Aaron Shedlock offer fun performances in this light mystery. Alyssa is dragged into a tarot reading as part of a fortieth-birthday celebration. Afterward, she finds herself in the company of spirits. She enlists her neighbor, Nick, a handsome detective, for help, and together they stumble through a paranormal adventure. Goodeve and Shedlock have a great combination of narrative approaches: Goodeve captures the easily ruffled Alyssa, and Shedlock portrays calm, collected Nick. Each narrator offers excellent pacing and clear depictions of outlandish scenes. Their approach to the slow romance between the lead characters is charming and believable. All of this, bundled with some humor and emotional scenes, will tug at listeners' heartstrings in a good way. G.M. © AudioFile 2024, Portland, Maine [Published: JUNE 2024]
