VENDETTA

This audiobook opens with Carl Venable, head of the CIA's terrorism unit, on his deathbed. He asks Jude Brandon, a former CIA agent and his sometimes antagonist, to keep his daughter, Rachel, a doctor, safe from his archenemy, Huber. Huber wants to acquire Rachel's skills with potions and poisons. Narrator Elisabeth Rodgers takes this complex plot and propels it forward with skillful characterizations. Whether it is an English, Spanish, or German accent required, she delights listeners with her impressive interpretations. Her transitions from character to character are seamless and keep listeners tuned into the action. A fast-paced thriller and an outstanding narrator make for a great listening experience. E.E.S.
