The Current

A Novel

De: Tim Johnston

Narrado por: Sarah Mollo-Christensen

In the dead of winter, outside a small Minnesota town, state troopers pull two young women and their car from the icy Black Root River. One is found downriver, drowned, while the other is found at the scene - half-frozen but alive.

What happened was no accident, and news of the crime awakens the community's memories of another young woman who lost her life in the same river 10 years earlier and whose killer may still live among them.

Determined to find answers, the surviving young woman soon realizes she's connected to the earlier unsolved case by more than just a river, and the deeper she plunges into her own investigation, the closer she comes to dangerous truths and to the violence that simmers just below the surface of her hometown.

Grief, suspicion, the innocent, and the guilty - all stir to life in this cold Northern town where a young woman can come home but still not be safe.

Brilliantly plotted and unrelentingly propulsive, The Current is a beautifully realized story about the fragility of life, the power of the past, and the need, always, to fight back.

Great Book

I love this book. I can't wait for another to come out. I agree there needs to be a continuation to this book.

The voice is so annoying

I couldn’t get through even the first chapter because the reader sounds like a robot. It’s the first audiobook I couldn’t listen to

The Current Review

The story was great as well as the performance but the author didn't have to use the curse words GD throughout the book in order to obtain the same effect. Way overused.

I'm lost

I was lost through the whole book.. The narrator did a fantastic job on the material she had to work with. maybe I missed something but I'm still scratching my head. sorry!

Good Story!

Mr. Johnson is definitely a talented writer and Sarah Mollo-Christensen was excellent in the narration. One chapter involving a conversation with a main character repeatedly referred to him as "the boy." This was odd as 18 year old's on the evening news are labeled men. This character was 29 (?) He later disappeared and this was never resolved.The ending apparently was giving us an alternative view of what might have happened.
