WHITE BODIES

Callie is concerned that her twin sister, Tilda, may be in an abusive relationship, and she aims to get to the bottom of it. Camilla Arfwedson's narration of this mystery is cordial and smooth. She has a refreshing English accent, and her tone is delicate without lacking character emphasis. Callie and Tilda are differentiated in a way that sounds genuine for each sister. A sudden death adds intensity as the tension builds, and Arfwedson slows down her pace so that the listener can savor each pivotal moment that leads up to the truth of Tilda's relationship. The odd relationship between Callie and Tilda in this unsettling psychological thriller can be uncomfortable to hear at times, but Arfwedson's satisfying narration keeps the listener engaged.
