THE PUZZLE MASTER

Edoardo Ballerini delivers a masterful performance of this blend of thriller, paranormal, and horror genres. With his exceptional command of accents, tone, and pacing, Ballerini skillfully brings to life its diverse cast of characters, both male and female. Listeners are introduced to Mike Brink, a puzzle master whose fateful encounter with incarcerated murderer Jess Price sparks a profound connection, compelling him to unravel the enigma behind her conviction. Ballerini convincingly portrays Brink as a brilliant and empathetic character whose puzzle-solving prowess stems from a sports-related brain injury. Trussoni fans will appreciate the many complexities involving the history of porcelain, digital threats to personal identity, the quest for immortality, religious mysteries, and the unsettling ambitions of a deranged millionaire who is bent on world transformation.
