EMMA IN THE NIGHT

Narrators Thérèse Plummer and Julia Whelan team up to deliver a twisted psychological thriller. Teenage sisters Emma and Cass Tanner disappeared three years ago. Now three years later, Cass returns—without Emma. Forensic psychologist Abigail Winter is on the case to find out where Emma is, why the sisters left home, and what happened after that. A mellow numbness to both narrators’ voices gives a weary feeling to the dialogue, which can be shocking and intriguing. The moments of Cass's despair are depicted with strong, energetic emotion, and Abby's curiosity and determination to solve the mystery are evident. Every crucial point in the story is supported by the intensity of narration. EMMA IN THE NIGHT splendidly combines betrayal, obsession, narcissism, and secrets.
