SECRETS OF THE NIGHT

Everyone has secrets best left buried in the past. What would happen if yours were spread before all the world? This is exactly what happens to Douglas and Julia Rutherford at their 25th wedding anniversary party, as brought about by a vindictive neighbor. As the secrets and their ramifications unfold, Anita Wright pushes the narrative along and acts out the emotions of this incredible tale. Wright differentiates well between man and woman, but all members of the same sex sound alike, making the tangled themes difficult to follow. Better entitled “Secrets of a Marriage” or “Secrets of a Fateful Weekend,” Parker’s story will haunt the listener. M.B.K. © AudioFile 2000, Portland, Maine [Published: DEC/JAN 01]
