LONG TIME GONE

Vivienne Leheny will keep listeners guessing as she narrates this smart story about a thirty-year-old mystery involving the disappearance of three members of a wealthy Nevada family. The incident resulted in national headlines. Leheny's wonderfully breathy presentation adds to the drama. The story starts simply enough: Dr. Sloan Hastings sends her DNA to a genealogy website and learns that it matches that of a baby who disappeared decades earlier. She travels to her hometown and encounters Sheriff Eric Stamos, whose father was killed when he investigated the disappearance. Things get more twisted from there. Leheny carries listeners through every step of the story, challenging us to separate heroes from villains. M.S.
