THE DOUBT FACTORY

Emma Galvin's slightly nasal delivery works well for the dialogue in this young adult thriller. As a rich high school girl is being stalked, the story also mixes in a lot of commentary about product liability defense and the pharmaceutical industry. Listeners who get through the preliminaries will want to finish the audiobook. Galvin does a good job differentiating the mostly teenage characters. However, her delivery doesn't work quite as well for the menacing adults who are secondary characters. Nonetheless, Galvin's pace is always good, and she breathes life into some lengthy monologues.
