DEEP END

Thérèse Plummer and Ben Holtzmuller deliver a captivating duet narration of this thoughtful romance. Stanford diver Scarlett, voiced by Plummer, has her future meticulously planned--if she can overcome her recent diving block, pass German, and ace the MCAT. With so much on her plate, relationships have never been a priority. Pen is a fellow diver on Scarlett's team. Lukas, portrayed by Holtzmuller, is a Swedish Olympic swimmer--who is also Pen's ex. When Pen shares a secret connecting Lukas and Scarlett, things heat up. Plummer captures Scarlett's anxieties with well-placed pauses and inflections, while Holtzmuller's subtle Swedish accent and steady cadence add to Lukas's unassuming charm. Their performances bring depth and authenticity to this engaging romance. S.K.G. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: MARCH 2025]
