UNDER A DARK SKY

In this murder mystery about relationships gone wrong, listeners are brought to an isolated spot on the northern shores of Lake Michigan. Through a booking snafu, six former college buddies and a neurotic widow, Eden, are renting the same cottage. Eden has a terror of the dark and other phobias and is fixated on her husband's fatal car crash. It's an awkward situation that becomes even more uncomfortable when one of the group is murdered. Although Eden solves the crime, this mystery is more of a psychological novel than a crime thriller. Tavia Gilbert performs the character of Eden with passion and dramatic flair, crying, whining, exhorting, and cajoling as needed. Her depictions of other characters are subtler but equally convincing. D.L.G. © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine [Published: AUGUST 2018]
