The dual narration in this enjoyable audiobook is artful with a minor distraction. Elizabeth Knowelden handles the first-person account of gone girl Emily/Cat, a runaway wife and mother starting a new life in London. The mystery is why this blessed and lucky woman has run away from all who love her. The audio puzzle is why Emily/Cat has a Manchester accent when everyone else in the story-- voiced by Paul Fox--including Emily's parents, husband, and twin sister, speaks standard English. That aside, both performers have smooth, well-trained, and beautiful voices and handle the drama with conviction and flair. The story does not necessarily convince, but it is well made and interesting, with a twist at the end you will not see coming. B.G. © AudioFile 2015, Portland, Maine [Published: APRIL 2015]
