Whisper in the Night audiobook – Detectives Kane and Alton Series, Book 6

On a sunny afternoon, while lounging in my backyard hammock, I embarked on an extraordinary adventure with “The Merchant of Death audiobook” by D. J. MacHale. The gentle rustling of leaves and chirping birds provided the perfect backdrop for this captivating children’s audiobook.

As the first installment in the Pendragon novel series, “The Merchant of Death” takes readers on a thrilling journey through different dimensions and fantastical realms. Bobby, a seemingly ordinary 14-year-old boy, discovers his destiny as the savior of not just Earth, but the entire cosmos. D. J. MacHale’s storytelling prowess shines through as he weaves together a tale filled with mystery, danger, and self-discovery.

Narrated by William Dufris, the audiobook comes to life with his dynamic vocal performance. Dufris captures the excitement and emotion of the story, immersing listeners in Bobby’s extraordinary world. However, there were moments where his narration style had a slight whine factor that detracted from the overall experience.

“The Merchant of Death” is a captivating introduction to the Pendragon series. MacHale’s vivid imagination and Dufris’ engaging narration make for an enjoyable listening experience. Whether you’re a child or a child at heart, this audiobook will transport you to a world filled with adventure and wonder.
