In a nearly perfect performance, actor/director David Birney reads Chris Bohjalian's tale of a state prosecutor who risks his career and his home life to protect his homeopath-turned-lover. In an unlikely story full of twists, turns, and legal and medical details, Birney keeps the listener glued to her seat as the plot slowly builds to the breaking point. Scores of details surrounding conventional and alternative medicine remain at the forefront, but Birney expertly captures the humanity, loneliness, paranoia and eventual panic of main character Leland Fowler. While Birney fails to effectively...

This heartrending tale of a midwife's worst nightmare brought to life moves back and forth between two speakers: the daughter who relates the events in her family's lives when she was 14, and her mother, the midwife whose journal entries are interspersed throughout the story. Kate Burton's reading of this tense tale is superb. Her clear, warm tone and straightforward delivery are in direct contrast to the author's suspenseful technique. The result is a heightening of the drama and tensionalready pervasive in the story. We are left on the edge of our seats until the surprising conclusion, which...
