I'm listening to In Search of the Rose Notes, by Emily Arsenault, narrated by Khristine Hvam. It's about two young women whose teenage babysitter, Rose, disappeared when they were kids; they reconnect and renew their interest in Rose when her remains are finally found some 15 years later. The story alternates past and present, and despite a few inexplicable mispronunciations (red dish for reddish!), the narrator does a wonderful job with the voices of the young girls vs. their adult selves, making them still identifiable yet different.
I'm liking this one quite a bit, especially the author's depiction of the young girls and their actions and silly obsessions.
