“Grover Gardner fluidly commands German, Boston-Irish, Gypsy, French, and Spanish accents. Gardner’s diction is immaculate. His voice is elegant and grandly resonant. Between interludes of evocative Spanish guitar music, the intrigue swells, recedes, and swells again. Conrad’s diverse characters and intense drama are wonderfully enhanced by Gardner’s portrayal. Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.”
