SONNY'S HOUSE OF SPIES

Sonny's confusion over his parents' turbulent relationship and his father's abandonment is only overshadowed by his certainly that there is more to the story of the Bradshaw family. Sonny's search for the truth in 1950s' Alabama is told with a smooth and emotive narration by Nick Landrum. Landrum speaks differently for each character, using a distinctive subtlety that does not compromise his even undertones. Despite the believable but slight rural twang and easy-to-listen to pace that Landrum provides throughout the book, the suspense may not be strong enough to keep all but the most focused listeners along for the ride.
