THE NIGHT SWIM

Narrators Bailey Carr, Samantha Desz, and January LaVoy are the perfect trio to narrate Megan Goldin's latest thriller involving a true- crime podcaster and her coverage of a rape trial in a North Carolina town. Desz and LaVoy ensure that Rachel Krall and her podcast unfold in an authentic manner that depicts her as powerful and tenacious. Desz delivers the third-person narrative, and LaVoy delivers Rachel's podcasts. As the story unfolds, Rachel receives letters from a podcast follower who pleads for help in finding out what really happened to her sister who drowned years ago. Carr gives the podcast follower, Hannah, a delicate, poignant tone that captures her emotions. The shocking connection between events makes this a gripping listen.
