THE INVISIBLE ONES

Half-Gypsy private investigator Ray Lovell is in the hospital in a state of delirium and paralysis. He’s been poisoned. In an attempt to determine how it happened, he begins retracing his steps through his investigation into the disappearance of Gypsy woman Rose Janko, along with the strange web of her husband’s family. Narrator Dan Stevens brings a level of authenticity to the characters. Also impressive is Stevens’s ability to give each character a distinctive voice, particularly teenager J.J. Janko, whose point of view is a major part of Penney’s story. Penney’s plot and Stevens’s narration mesh beautifully to create a gripping listen. J.L.K.
