REVIVER

Jonah Miller can bring people back from the dead, briefly, to say goodbye or bear witness to crimes. A routine forensic revival reveals a terrifying side to this practice, and uncovers a sinister plot to use his skill for nefarious purposes. Ari Fliakos’s performance strikes the ideal balance between total immersion in Jonah’s character and a storyteller’s gift to race along with the plot. He offers a fine Irish dialect for Jonah’s friend and colleague, and a light British tone for a major female character, both of which add atmosphere. The listener becomes immersed in Jonah’s periods of depression and loneliness, as well as his determination to stop the evil looming at death’s door. R.L.L.
