The Guilty

Two narrators enhance this mystery, the fourth in the Will Robie series, adding clarity to the detailed conversations between the characters. Keith Brewer handles the narrative and male dialogue, capably portraying assassin Robie, who is questioning his own abilities after two botched missions. As Robie returns to his roots in small-town Mississippi, hoping to resolve unfinished business with his estranged father, Brewer gently projects Robie's hidden Southern accent. Voicing the female dialogue, Orlagh Cassidy provides just enough characterization to differentiate Robie's steely sidekick, Jessica Reel, the tough-as-nails local policewoman, and his father's new wife. As Robie and Reel attempt to clear Robie's father of murder charges, villains are killed and long-buried atrocities are revealed. N.M.C. © AudioFile 2015, Portland, Maine
