1979 Allie Burns, Book 1

Narrator Katie Leung takes on Scots and their accents as she portrays honorable reporters and local criminals in the year 1979. Reporter Allie Burns is looking for a way to stand out among her peers and cover better news stories. When she and her colleague, Danny, team up to stop an inexperienced terrorist cell, their investigation puts more than local criminals at risk. Leung's narration is spot-on, especially her pacing. She captures the frustration of a woman who is looking to be taken seriously in a culture of casual misogyny. Her crisp performance and ease with common Scottish phrases are perfect for this audiobook. V.B. © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine [Published: JANUARY 2022]
