THE STRANGER GAME

A powerful narrator, Rebekkah Ross takes listeners through the twists and turns of a thriller with a California edge. Shortly after her on-again, off-again boyfriend, Ezra, disappears, Rebecca, a middle-aged architect, searches for answers to what could have happened to him. The police seem strangely unconcerned, even as an article begins circulating the Internet about a viral game in which people stalk complete strangers while trying to avoid detection. Ross takes on the persona of Rebecca in a way that makes the audio experience seem like an intense conversation with a trusted friend as they unburden themselves of a horrible secret. This highly engaging performance is full of suspense, making it hard to stop listening as events unfold. V.B. © AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine [Published: MAY 2019]
