DEAD MOUNTAIN Nora Kelly, Book 4

Cynthia Farrell returns to skillfully voice a wide range of characters-- male and female--of all ages. In the fourth installment of the Nora Kelly series, junior FBI Agent Corrie Swanson partners with forensic archaeologist Nora Kelly to investigate the disappearance of nine graduate students during a winter backpacking trip in the New Mexico mountains. The discovery of six bodies in inexplicable states, followed by two more 15 years later, fuels the quest for answers, along with Corrie's determination to get them. A subplot about Nora's brother, Skip, adds little to the plot. Farrell's pacing, tone, and accents effectively differentiate characters, though her choice for Corrie's voice seems at odds with the agent's fierceness. An engaging and entertaining listen, nonetheless. E.Q. © AudioFile 2023, Portland, Maine [Published: OCTOBER 2023]
