MR. FLOOD'S LAST RESORT

Narrator Aoife McMahon brings her Irish soul and voice to this quirky mystery. Cathal Flood is a curmudgeonly hoarder whose large home hides secrets. Maud Drennan is the latest in a long line of caregivers tasked with caring for Mr. Flood. McMahon gives the story's large cast unique vocal characterizations, starting with Mr. Flood's gruffness and Maud's calm, unruffled responses. As Maud uncovers unsolved mysteries, her dreams reawaken a mysterious trauma from her own childhood, and McMahon brings to life a troop of saints who goad and guide her efforts to find answers. The character of Renata, Maud's transgender landlady and only friend, is especially alive as a wise and caring advocate. N.E.M. © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine [Published: JUNE 2018]
