THE FORGER'S DAUGHTER

The dual narration of this audiobook is unique in that both characters are voicing the same character, Will, a forger being extorted into doing a special job. At first, it might take the listener aback, but it does not mar the performance as both voices are woven seamlessly into the story. When Will's wife, Meghan, speaks, Christina Delaine shapes her voice with appropriate emotion and frustration as she deals with her husband's plight. Delaine also does the dialogue for Will in those scenes. When Will is in the first person, Phil Thron gives the character a deep-voiced, consistent presence. Delaine gives a lower tone to Maisie, who is Will and Meghan's precocious and likable young daughter, while Thron creates a pompous accent for Slater, Will's nemesis.
