Chinamans Bluff

By: Christopher Malinger

Narrated by: Nathan Elliott

The setting is central Wisconsin during the Great Depression. Like most towns, the inhabitants of Chandlers Bend are hanging on, making due with what little they have, waiting for the day when prosperity returns. Once a hub of robust rail traffic, now it simply became an X on the map--the interlacement of two railroads, further split by a state highway. Those who stayed either lacked the good sense to leave or the resources to do so.

Then one day a stranger arrived, like the arid wind of the Great Depression, and changed the town forever.

Because, a town without tales ceases to survive.

Outstanding

I enjoyed this story immensely, it kept me interested the entire 6 plus hours. I really liked the narrator, he spoke clearly, his delivery and timing was great. I enjoyed his ability to change his voice to accommodate the different characters in the book. He brought the characters to life. The author of course is awesome and a great story teller. Looking forward to more.
