RED, WHITE, AND BLOOD

While this is not a book for every listener, followers of the President’s Vampire series, or the vampire genre in general, will find Bronson Pinchot’s voice a treat. Demonstrating again the reasons he has won multiple awards for narration, Pinchot presides over a variety of characters— male, female, human, and not human—with aplomb. His female voices are a joy, using just a slight lilt rather than straining. Timing, pacing, and subtlety all combine for an engaging listen; you can hear the pleading in the vice president’s voice, the coldness in the protagonist’s utterances, and the fear in the victims as the Boogeyman attacks. A well-deserved 2013 Audie Award in the Thriller/Suspense category gives credit to Pinchot’s ability to mesmerize listeners.
