ALL UNQUIET THINGS

It’s been a year since Neely’s ex-girlfriend, Carly, was murdered, and he can’t get past her death. Although Carly’s uncle has been imprisoned for her murder, his daughter, Audrey, is convinced of his innocence. Audrey is hunting the real killer and enlists Neely’s help. With the story split between Neely and Audrey’s points of view, Mike Chamberlain and Allyson Ryan get equal time narrating. Chamberlain narrates at a slow pace, with little energy, and his female voices are just breathier versions of his own voice. Ryan sounds livelier and more expressive, and she believably portrays males by subtly deepening her tones. Despite the high points of Ryan’s delivery, this is a dull murder mystery overall.
