Caroline Evans, a recently widowed mother of two, thinks things have finally fallen into place when she meets the charismatic Anthony Fleming. They are quickly married and she and her two children move into his luxury apartment in the legendary Rockwell on Central Park West. Despite her son's misgivings about the building and the people who dwell there, Caroline dismisses the oddities of their new neighbors as pleasant eccentricities. Until things begin to change. And behind the luxury and beauty of The Rockwell lurks a secret that Caroline can't possibly imagine.

Caroline Evans, whose husband, Brad, was murdered in Central Park just one year earlier, meets Anthony Fleming, a dashing man who lives in the Rockwell, one of the "creepier" nineteenth-century apartment buildings on Central Park West. Their swift courtship and marriage disturbs Caroline's children, Laurie and Ryan, and her closest friend, Angela, a social worker with a sickly client in the Rockwell. Aasne Vigessa's thin, sharp voice echoes in the hollow secret passages of the Rockwell. She reads the nightmares and behind-the-scenes action in an emotionally detached manner, adding to the tension and mystery. Saul takes MIDNIGHT VOICES to the height of horror as the stories about the Rockwell come to life. M.B.K. (c) AudioFile 2003, Portland, Maine
