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.
