NATHANIEL

John Saul returns to familiar territory with this supernatural tale about a boy possessed by the spirit of a long-dead child. When her husband is accidentally killed on his father's farm, Ann Hall moves to Nebraska with her young son, Michael, to be with her in-laws. Deciding to remain in Prairie Bend, Ann soon begins to regret her decision when it looks as if her son is connected to a series of gruesome murders. Reader Laural Merlington does very well with voices, easily switching from young to elderly and from male to female. Her reading helps build suspense in a satisfying contemporary thriller. J.L.C.
