THE SCARIFYERS: THE NAZAD CONSPIRACY
Simon Barnard
Read by Nicholas Courtney, Terry Molloy, et al.
In this entertaining British audio play, a professor who writes ghost stories and a skeptical police inspector investigate a supernatural plot to summon Rasputin’s ghost for revenge upon his executioners. The opening gambit in a planned adventure series set in the mid-1930s, this listenable endeavor boasts tongue-in-cheek humor and jaunty performances by attractive voices. The producers try a little too hard for charm and cleverness, and not quite hard enough for thrills and chills. The engaging leads, Nicholas Courtney and Terry Molloy, are perhaps better known to Brits than Yanks from their featured roles in TV’s “Doctor Who,” which says something about the intended audience. This and future adventures should have a much wider appeal. Y.R. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine [Published: APR/ MAY 07]
