Critic reviews

“Edoardo Ballerini takes listeners to Philly in 2004 for Lisa Scottoline's memorable ‘Pigeon Tony's Last Stand.’ Reba Buhr convincingly narrates phone conversations between a female crisis counselor and a male caller in Lisa Unger's dark ‘Unknown Caller.’ January LaVoy reveals the inner conflicts of a concerned mother in Janelle Brown's ‘Trouble.’ Brittany Pressley softly recalls a journalist's memory of finding her family murdered in J.T. Ellison's ‘Three Cold Strangers.’ Ryan Burke voices a lawyer who is defending his first murder client in Victor Methos's ‘Kill Night.’”AudioFile Magazine

Superb

I’m not a fan of the novella, that said this collection was amazing! Stories were varied, writing was moving, and the narration of every single one was pitch perfect!
