THE TRIAL OF FALLEN ANGELS 

James Kimmel, Jr.

Read by Therese Plummer

Therese Plummer gives a sensitive performance of Kimmel’s intriguing blend of mystery, theology, and humanity. Lawyer Brek Cuttler finds herself alone on a bench in an empty train station wearing her favorite suit and covered in blood. She has no idea how she got there or where she is. Plummer makes Brek’s confusion palpable as bits of her life fall into place. In Shemaya, a sort of Purgatory, Brek becomes counsel for souls that are facing their Final Judgment. She is able to access their memories by personally experiencing their lives. Plummer’s performance brings a credible voice to each of the souls she inhabits, and, as Brek discovers answers to her own mystery, Plummer deftly handles the many lengthy deliberations regarding justice and forgiveness.

THE BUTTERFLY CLUES 

Kate Ellison

Read by Thérèse Plummer

By the time Thérèse Plummer thrice enunciates the six distinct syllables “Pen-el-o-pe Mar-rin,” the listener is aware this girl has many issues. Known as “Lo,” she tries to escape the grief of her brother’s death by nightly roaming the streets, compulsively stealing and using obsessive behavior to feel safe—but she isn’t. One night a bullet narrowly misses her, killing another girl. When Lo acquires the victim’s jewelry by chance, she begins a dangerous hunt for the killer. Plummer uses a voice fraught with emotion to portray an intensely lonely girl who is determined to create the human connections necessary to solve the crime. Her narration underscores Lo’s obsessive-compulsive tics, which in print nearly overwhelm the mystery but aurally add another layer of tension to this taut drama.
