MURDER IN THE EAST END

Narrator Anne-Marie Piazza makes listeners connect uniquely with each character in this Victorian-era mystery. Cook Kat Holloway learns that children have been mysteriously disappearing from London's Foundling Hospital. When a nurse from the hospital also disappears, Kat and her eclectic group of friends--ranging from her kitchen maid to a mathematical genius and the daughter of an earl--work together to locate the missing people. Piazza is especially effective at voicing the shifting accents of Fielding; now a proper vicar, he was born a foundling, and his dialect reverts to that of his past when he's under pressure. Piazza's performance makes listeners feel as if they are lurking in Kat's kitchen. V.M.G. © AudioFile 2020, Portland, Maine [Published: AUGUST 2020]
