LIFE AMONG GIANTS

After their parents’ mysterious murder while they’re still in high school, David Hockmeyer and his older sister, Kate, spend decades attempting to untangle the web of their teenage years to discover the truth in the lies. Pete Larkin narrates in a deep, even voice that conveys the darkness and mystery surrounding the murder and David’s years of trying to make sense of it. But Roorbach delivers far more than a mystery to puzzle the listener. David’s memories of the past, mixed with his present, are full of love and angst, and Larkin expertly navigates through the story, giving each section emphasis. The startling variety of people David meets are all given unique accents. Larkin’s narration builds the suspense and lets Roorbach’s story unravel slowly, making this audiobook one to savor. E.N.
