Robinson! Her voice is exquisite!

Yes, another one I chose because of the narrator, in this case, the brilliant Rose Robinson. As a British psychological thriller, “Alone in the Dark” had me hooked from the very first chapter. No multitasking during this one! The plot is layered with subplots, making it essential to listen intently and fully appreciate the unexpected twists and turns. Robinson's voice is absolutely exquisite, and I was drawn in by her skillful presentation. My first book by Joanne Ryan, hopefully, won’t be my last. The story follows Abi, a night runner who witnesses a hit-and-run, but when she returns to the scene, the body has disappeared. As Abi attempts to find the truth, she's met with disbelief, along with devious and mysterious characters. Who can truly be trusted? Ryan expertly weaves multiple plot threads, surprises and jaw-dropping secrets that kept me listening into the early hours of the morning. As for Robinson, her vocals go above and beyond, right up there with Tamsin Kennard and Clare Corbett, two first-class British favorites of mine. $12.98 well-spent and most definitely recommended, I urge you to grab this one now. It’s a wild ride from beginning to end.

{{NOTE: In Chapter 22, I thought I detected an audio glitch in the recording, as narration, in mid-sentence, quickly skipped to another subplot, then to the end}}. A bit confusing on my part… However, after updating Audible and resetting my devices, and continuing my listen on my iPad, from Chapter 22 through the end; all came together with satisfaction.
