WHAT FIRE BRINGS

Narrator Dara Brown's performance--full of foreboding--will have listeners questioning everything in this twisty thriller. Rookie PI Bailey Meadows goes undercover at an isolated Topanga Canyon writing retreat to find a missing woman. Brown channels Bailey's anxiety as she navigates the harsh landscape and tight-lipped canyon community. Bailey must also investigate her host, Jack Beckham, a bestselling writer with a suspiciously tragic past. Brown has a knack for creating deep, gravelly voices for the male characters; her portrayal of Jack, in particular, is imbued with the charm and good humor the beloved writer is known for. Nothing is what it seems, and Brown is careful to select voices and tones that don't give away the unexpected reveals. A thoughtfully crafted performance.
