ROCKY START Rocky Start, Book 1

Narrators Cris Dukehart and Eric G. Dove join forces to introduce listeners to the quirky town of Rocky Start. Rose Malone's landlord and employer, Ozzie, has died, and a stranger claiming to be his son tries to throw her out of her home. Hiker Max Reddy has just come off the Appalachian Trail when he sees Rose being attacked. Dukehart handles the narration from Rose's point of view, while Dove takes Max's. The town is filled with former spies, and Dukehart and Dove masterfully handle the mixed cast of characters. They also blend well as they alternate their narrations. Together, they provide a lively performance as Rose and Max contend with Ozzie's past coming back to haunt them. S.B. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: AUGUST 2025]
