TROUBLE ISLAND

Jennifer Jill Araya narrates this suspenseful mystery, which takes place in 1932 on a remote island in Lake Erie. Four people are living there: a gangster's wife, Rosita, and her maid, Aurelia, who is hiding a secret, along with two housekeepers. When the gangster unexpectedly drops by with an entourage of guests, including a rival gangster, things unravel. Araya makes the gangsters truly menacing by giving them growling voices. Rosita has steel in her voice. When she is found dead and an icy storm cuts off all hope of leaving the island, the guests and occupants turn on each other to identify the murderer. Araya turns up the heat on a deadly situation. L.M.G. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: FEBRUARY 2025]
