"The Child: An Audible Drama" by Sebastian Fitzek ***

• Audiobook only
• German author
• Originally published in 2014
• Review:  This was a story translated from the original German and only available performed as a combination narrated/dramatic production by Audible.  Listening to it was like listening to an old time radio program with sound effects and the intensification of the emotion of the story.  The rhythm of the story was occasionally disrupted by the switching from narrator to performers and back.  The story itself is the suspenseful, dark, and poignant tale of loss, the search for love, the acceptance of the existence of both good and evil, and acceptance.  Not bad at all.
