A DOG IN GEORGIA

Katie Koster is a high-energy narrator whose tightly enunciated delivery suits this novel's main character. Amy is at a crossroads. An avid advocate for animals, she channels her midlife feelings of loss and lack of direction toward joining the search for Angel, an internet-famous dog that is missing in Tbilisi, Georgia. As one might expect, the audiobook is full of accented dialogue once Amy reaches the Republic of Georgia, and Koster doesn't miss a beat. Some of the characters' voices may sound similar at times, but the accents are consistently credible, and the plot is still easy to follow. Koster's energy makes the listening experience pleasant, even if parts of the story itself feel incomplete or underdeveloped. Listeners will root for Amy from start to finish.
