THE BEQUEST

Kimberly M. Wetherell's skilled narration creates the perfect backdrop for this dark academic thriller. After a disastrous relationship, American PhD student Isabel heads to Scotland, where she reconnects with an old friend before finding herself at the heart of a series of mysteries old and new. Wetherell's strong narration, including her exceptional use of accents, is particularly apparent during dialogue scenes involving characters with a wide variety of backgrounds. Wetherell seamlessly shifts among American, Scottish, and Italian accents, as well as covering a range of English accents. Her strong characterizations and spot-on timing help to keep the listener engaged. K.J.P. © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine [Published: DECEMBER 2022]
