THE LIAR'S GIRL

Three accomplished Irish narrators present the story of a young woman, Alison, whose charming boyfriend was convicted of murdering coeds in Dublin and throwing them into the Grand Canal. Alana Kerr Collins portrays a fractured but resolute Alison, whose circumscribed existence in the Netherlands is interrupted by a request to return to Ireland to help gather information pertinent to a new series of canal murders. Listeners hear her nervous, reluctant voice and her anxiety about opening old wounds. Alan Smyth and Gary Furlong bring to life a mad murderer, the imprisoned boyfriend, a likable police detective, and other characters, using voices that sound genuine and natural. The multiple perspectives fill out the narrative of this engrossing psychological suspense. D.L.G. © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine [Published: APRIL 2018]
