THE MARRIAGE PACT

Tom Taylorson narrates this thriller with precision, helping listeners to be pulled into the story. Alice, a lawyer, and Jake, a marriage counselor, sign on to The Pact, a secret society of couples who are committed to ensuring that their marriages are happy. When Alice and Jake inadvertently break the rules, the consequences are dire--more dire than they ever expected. Taylorson's voice becomes more expressive as the tension builds--he deftly captures the charming veneers of the society's members. But while the plot is riveting, its resolution is too speedy and ultimately unsatisfying. Still, Taylorson ramps up the suspense in this sinister psychological drama. Listeners will find his delivery a compelling and rich experience. S.C.A. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2017, Portland, Maine [Published: OCTOBER 2017]
