GONE MISSING

The Amish communities of Ohio may advocate a plain life in which they set themselves apart from “the English," but they can’t isolate from crime. After several Amish teens are reported missing, State Agent Tomasetti requests that Police Chief Kate Burkholder, who was raised Amish, join the investigation team as a bridge between cultures. Kathleen McInerney returns to narrate this fourth in the Amish Crime Thriller series. Adapting her tempo and energy to match the story line, McInerney seamlessly shifts from action to dialogue, tweaking the tension to keep listeners' full attention. Her characterizations, particularly those of the Amish, are clear without being theatrical, and listeners can easily discern individuals’ general ages and backgrounds. The gritty story is tempered by Tomasetti and Burkholder's relationship and the descriptions of Amish culture. C.B.L. © AudioFile 2012, Portland, Maine [Published: JULY 2012]
