Searching for Disaster

The last story in the Searching For series brings listeners to small-town Verily, New York. Recovering addict Izzy MacKenzie is shocked when she sees her former lover, Liam, arrive for an appointment at the matchmaking firm where she works. He immediately wants to pick up where they left off six years earlier, though Izzy tries to resist him. Narrator Madeleine Maby portrays Izzy's matter-of-fact bluntness and sharp retorts, reflecting her vulnerabilities, especially her fear of falling back into her old life. Maby's interpretation of Liam reflects his male confidence and unshakable belief in a loving future with Izzy. Supportive and lighthearted friends and family add balance to the erotic and gritty parts of this recovery story. S.H. � AudioFile 2016, Portland, Maine
