THE 13TH HOUR

Dennis Boutsikaris is an excellent choice to deliver Richard Doetsch's thriller. The listener follows protagonist Nick Quinn as he travels back through one day, an hour at a time, attempting to alter events and ultimately prevent his wife's death. This tautly written story reveals its twists and clues in sixty-minute segments as Quinn makes advances and mistakes in his race with death. The pace builds with every passing hour, and Boutsikaris successfully employs his narrative skills to deliver the tension and drama. Between Doetsch's writing and Boutsikaris's performance, the listener will find it difficult to stop listening. M.O.B. © AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine [Published: APRIL 2010]
