From the very beginning narrator Peter Berkrot builds suspense in this novella featuring 12-year old Crispin. The story begins with a mother who has little interest in her three children until she marries a new husband who takes them to live in an old mansion. There the kids live a life of indulgence until the evil emerges. Then Crispin runs away, and, with his dog, lives on the streets. Berkrot portrays Crispin as the self-sufficient and resilient boy he is, mature beyond his age. The most insidious of the adults have voices that become more chilling as their characters unfurl. Berkot's narration of this dark yet hopeful story is compelling. J.E.M. © AudioFile 2013, Portland, Maine [Published: MAY 2013]
