Fool Her Once

After a 25-year hiatus, Elm (Delusion) returns with a captivating psychological thriller that delves into the twists and turns of journalist Jenna Sinclair’s past. As a rookie reporter, Jenna inadvertently revealed that Denny Dennison, then a culinary arts student and soon-to-be father, was the illegitimate son of the infamous serial rapist and murderer, Evil Ed. The brutal media coverage that followed destroyed Denny’s life and led a guilt-ridden Jenna to flee to the Hamptons to write travel articles and manage a bed-and-breakfast with her husband, Zack. With a clear and confident tone, narrator Rachel Fulginiti describes how Jenna’s picture-perfect life goes off the rails when her former lover is assaulted outside of her apartment building. Jenna believes that Denny could be behind the attack, and her search for answers reveals horrifying secrets that threaten Jenna’s entire family. Fulginiti’s precise narration complements the story’s building suspense, infusing it with the perfect amount of tension and momentum. Excellent characterizations and accent work further enhance the listening experience.
