SOMEBODY'S FOOL North Bath Trilogy, Book 3

This audiobook unites two consummate professionals: author Richard Russo and narrator Mark Bramhall. Russo is at his storytelling best here, returning to the North Bath community of NOBODY'S FOOL and EVERYBODY'S FOOL. A broad array of characters interacts credibly, thanks to Bramhall's strong performance. As Peter Sullivan mulls over his relationship with his estranged son, Janie struggles in her role as a daughter and mother, and Raymer ponders a new life and a violent death, Bramhall provides distinctive voices for all. Rarely is it confusing to follow the plot or appreciate the characters, even when the story itself becomes slow or the voices hit a strident pitch. The audiobook shines as the work of an excellent novelist delivered by an exceptional vocal artist. L.B.F. © AudioFile 2023, Portland, Maine [Published: JULY 2023]
