SNOWBLIND

Golden's dark prose finds a perfect home in the voice of Peter Berkrot, whose thin voice has enough depth to it as well as a light rasp that adds just that extra bit of discomfort to this production. Berkrot captures the mood of this book, keeping a level narrative tone that grabs listeners' attention. However, his character voices are not as well done as his narrative. Yet it matters little because this tale of a dark and dreary snowstorm ravaging the New England town of Coventry 12 years after another storm wreaked similar havoc has enough atmosphere to make Berkrot a solid match as narrator.
