THE SIGNAL

Read effortlessly by T. Ryder Smith, this modern-day Western sounds like a story told around a crackling campfire in the high mountain air. Ryder artfully captures Mack's Wyoming twang and Vonnie'e educated Eastern speech. The once-married couple catches far more than their share of trouble when they embark on their annual fishing trip one last time. But Mack has a secret, and the plot leads the listener up and down the Wyoming trails as this tale of intrigue and contemporary crime unfolds. Carlson's adventure plunges the couple into a high-action ending. The glorious mountains that surround Jackson, Wyoming, provide the backdrop. Romance, mystery, and a dash of the new—yet still wild—West make this production compelling. A.D.M. © AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine [Published: JULY 2009]
