SECONDHAND SOULS

It can be hard to acquire the same narrator for a sequel almost 10 years after the original work, but--lucky for Moore--Fisher Stevens takes up narrating this sequel to A DIRTY JOB. This not only provides continuity for listeners but also results in an outstanding narration as Stevens is perfect for this amusing parodic novel. His deep, raspy voice pulls in listeners while his timing, emphasis, and sometimes deadpan delivery make it an audiobook one doesn't want to turn off. Moore's eclectic and curious characters return, with a few additions, to deal with a new after-life dilemma: Someone is stealing souls. But not everyone is ready to help save the world from a fate worse than death. L.E. © AudioFile 2015, Portland, Maine [Published: NOVEMBER 2015]
