MY FRENCH WHORE

A dynamic duo is born as multitalented narrator Scott Brick meets multitalented actor, writer, director Gene Wilder. The result is the perfect pairing of author and narrator. In 1918, Midwesterner Paul Peachy enlists and is sent to France. Because he speaks fluent German, he’s asked to interrogate the notorious German spy Harry Stoller, who has surrendered to the Allies. Then Paul is captured, but he convinces his German captors and French mistress that he is Stoller. Scott Brick makes the double role of Paul and Harry completely believable. His flawless French and German accents never slide out of character, and he builds the dramatic intensity to the inevitable heartbreaking conclusion. Brick never falters in his narration, and the listener is mesmerized by the surefooted masquerade. M.T.B. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine [Published: AUG/ SEP 07]
