Synopsis
A picture-perfect New Hampshire town hides a history of scandal and intrigue -- a legacy Annie Barnes has never shaken since growing up in tiny Middle River. Five decades ago the area was rocked by a bombshell of a book, Peyton Place, and its author, Grace Metalious, who seemed to know everyone's most intimate secrets. Now a bestselling novelist herself, Annie has come home to find answers to the strange circumstances of her mother's recent death, which leads her to uncover a shocking truth about the local paper mill. The townspeople fear Annie intends to pen a Peyton Place of her very own, and no one wants her stirring up trouble. But one intriguing man is captivated by Annie's determined spirit -- and he wants to give the people of Middle River something to talk about....

From AudioFile
Middle River might be the town Grace Metalious had in mind when she wrote PEYTON PLACE. Its residents think so. When Annie Barnes returns there to investigate the cause of her mother's early death, the town and its secrets turn on her. The production has two readers. Richard Ferrone reads well but does not make a memorable impression of his character. His portrayal offers neither romance nor mystery. Julia Gibson is the one who stays in the mind because of her delivery of the story's first-person narration. It is her voice that one remembers in thinking back on the book.
