Listeners join “memory man” Amos Decker as he finds himself in the midst of a series of murders. What starts out as a simple trip ends up as a race against time to stop more murders, with Decker using his special talent to bring the story to a thrilling conclusion. Set against the bleak backdrop of a former mining town struggling with a crumbling economy and extensive drug addiction, this fast-moving story is delivered by two accomplished narrators. With Kyf Brewer’s pitch-perfect delivery and skilled characterizations and Orlagh Cassidy’s voices for the female protagonists, listeners are treated to an easy-to-follow and enjoyable listen. The rhythm of the dual narration is flawless and helps to differentiate the characters as well as giving the listener the sense of hearing the dialogue firsthand.
