The masterful ensemble narrating Picoult's latest novel allows the intriguing plot and recognizable characters that are her trademarks to take center stage. Picoult gives us an adolescent girl who enlists a failed psychic and an alcoholic private detective to help find her mother--an animal researcher who disappeared when the girl was 4. As the characters alternate chapters, the presenters develop them all into fully defined personalities while maintaining a roller-coaster pace as the plot moves toward its surprising conclusion. The backstory of family drama played out against the plight of African elephants is as rich and captivating as the prevailing plot. Leaving before the story ends will not be an option! M.O.B.

Thirteen-year-old Jenna Metcalf is searching for her mother, Alice, a scientist who studied elephants and mysteriously disappeared a decade earlier. To help her, Jenna hires Serenity Jones, a celebrity psychic who has lost her powers, and Virgil Stanhope, the detective originally assigned to her mother's case. The four narrators do an excellent job of voicing this poignant and mystifying novel. The listener hears the sadness and longing in Rebecca Lowman's reading of Alice; Mark Deakins and Kathe Mazur capture the repartee between Virgil the cop who relies on facts and instinct-following Serenity; and Abigail Revash does an excellent job as a young girl on an emotional roller coaster. VERDICT Recommended for the all libraries. ["A truly engaging read that crosses through the genres of mystery and the supernatural," read the review of the Ballantine hc, LJ 8/14.]âIlka Gordon, Beachwood, OH
