WHAT NEVER HAPPENED

The range exhibited in narrator Kristen Ariza's performance of this thriller is unparalleled. She shines at voicing Coco Weber's conflicting emotions as she escapes L.A. and returns home to remote Catalina Island. Her plan to start a new job at the local paper is interrupted by a string of suspicious deaths of the island's elderly land owners, deaths she believes may be connected to the murder of her own family 20 years earlier. Ariza allows something as simple as a cell phone ringing to amplify the suspenseful ambiance of this audiobook. When Coco receives threats to her own life, Ariza embodies her determination to get to the bottom of all the deaths--past and present. J.T. © AudioFile 2023, Portland, Maine [Published: AUGUST 2023]
