À propos de cet audio

A man brutally murders another in a peculiar hunting incident - and then proceeds to assume his persona, his life, and his wife.

When a petty argument with an arrogant stranger deep in a Wisconsin forest over who killed a deer escalates to murder, playwright Andrew Neville's life becomes a tangled web of deceit - and self-deception. Back in hometown Chicago, Neville attends the funeral of the man he's murdered and meets his widow, Claudia, and her 3-year-old son. Neville gradually insinuates himself into the widow's confidence and conceives a plan to seize the victim's life - his wife, his son, his work, his wealth, and even his persona and appearance. Neville will become he man he killed. It appears nothing can stop him - except the obnoxious Chicago PI who's determined to prove that Neville and Claudia murdered her husband together.

Ron Faust offers a very unusual story written from the perspective of an undiagnosed calculating Sociopath who murdered a friend and then seduced the man's widow and took over his victim's social/financial considerations. The book isn't written flawlessly (Mr Faust isn't going to win any Pulitzers or Nobels any time soon) - but paced nicely and able to make a strikingly implausible premise somehow acceptable. I was kind of surprised to find myself enjoying it (and the incongruous lighthearted - almost jocular - storytelling approach).

Reader Stephen Bel Davies turns in an imperfect but well above-average performance, too. He has a natural sibilance that Audible Studios sound engineers sometimes struggle to soften - and setting playback speed at 1.15X is required to yield a more natural narration - but Bel Davies's diction, timbre, cadence, voice-acting, and tone are all beyond reproach.

Altogether, I rate this audiobook 9 stars out of 10. I feel very fortunate to have found it before it left the 'Plus' catalog.. because 'Split Image' would merit a Credit.
