THE MARSH QUEEN

This audiobook is bound to appeal to fans of mysteries and family dramas alike. Loni Murrow returns home to Florida to help with her aging mother. Inevitably, events transpire that force Loni to contend with unsettled aspects of her childhood, and this is where the mystery begins. Cassandra Campbell, always a strong narrator, does a fine job with this somewhat loosely told story, liberally sprinkled with details both interesting and extraneous. Campbell's dialogue is easy to follow, and her pace is appropriate, even when the plot shifts from the present to the past. Occasionally, her depictions of emotions don't exactly match the text, but those moments don't significantly affect the result. The audiobook is easy to listen to, and the story keeps the listener interested. L.B.F. © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine [Published: OCTOBER 2022]
