INVISIBLE GIRL

It can be difficult for a slow-burn whodunit to gain steam, especially when the story is told from multiple perspectives. Happily, narrators Donna Banya, Katherine Kelly, and Connor Swindells manage to keep listeners engrossed when a British teen suddenly goes missing after stalking her sketchy former child psychologist. The narrators' skill with U.K. regional accents makes it easy to follow who's speaking, and their mastery of tone and pitch somehow manages to evoke high drama even when the plot dodders. While this novel won't have listeners on the edge of their seats, and some may be offended by transphobic content, fans of British mysteries will most likely enjoy it.
