THE UNRAVELING OF JULIA

Narrator Maria Marquis demonstrates her impressive range of accents and emotional nuance in this complex mystery taking listeners from Philadelphia to Tuscany. Julia Pritzker suffers devastating losses; as a child she loses her adoptive mother, and as the story opens, listeners encounter her witnessing the brutal murder of her husband. The plot pivots internationally when Julia, deep in grief, receives a letter stating she has inherited a fortune and a Tuscan villa from a woman she's never heard of. Marquis skillfully voices a wide cast--men and women from the U.S. and Italy--bringing authenticity to each. While the story veers into paranormal suspense and Julia's actions often strain belief, Marquis's brisk pacing and dramatic flair keep listeners engaged throughout the twists and terrors.
