THE STORM KING

Listeners, batten down the hatches! Literal and metaphorical storms rage through this riveting audiobook. When a body is found in the woods of Greystone Lake, Nate McHale returns to his hometown for the funeral--and for answers. But he's barely off the bus before his tumultuous past catches up with him and his old high school friends. Narrator Jon Lindstrom's clipped, precise delivery heightens the story's noirish elements. From the harrowing opening passages to the last gut-churning twist, Lindstrom cultivates an almost oppressive sense of foreboding. His narration remains strong through the many narrative strands, characters of all ages, and even when reading from the diary of a teenage girl. It's a versatile, pitch-perfect performance of an audiobook that thriller fans won't want to miss. A.T.N. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine [Published: MARCH 2018]
