The voices of Coleen Marlo and Sean Runnette work well here, alternating the narration. Marlo's performance is more emotional and dramatic, which suits her portrayal of the frantic mother who has already lost her husband and will not accept that her son is dead.

The third Shane volume is one of the most original and fresh novels of suspense I've ever read, with a truly unique twist. It's a hard book to put down (or to listen to, as I enjoyed the Audio CDs read by the superb Coleen Marlo and Sean Runnette). It's an absorbing read from beginning to end, making one salivate for the next entry in the series. It's a stunner. Amazon.com
