New psychological Thriller Shared Madness by Rick Moskovitz released as Audiobook
Hello, again, dear audiobooks friends! This weekend I listened to a pretty interesting psychological thriller and in today’s spotlight article, I will tell you a few things about it. Shared Madness by Rick Moskovitz has been recently released in audiobook format and is now available on Audible and other digital platforms. The audio production is narrated by Joe Smith and has a run time of almost 3 and a half hours.
As I said above, I spent a few hours this weekend listening to Shared Madness, I really enjoyed it and already left a 5 stars rating on Audible. Now, let’s take a look at the Publisher’s Summary for Shared Madness, and after that, you all can find out more about the author and narrator.
Zack Tripler, a psychiatrist, admits to the hospital Youssef al Saud, an agitated young Saudi American, in the midst of what appears to be a psychotic break. Youssef has been hearing voices and was found hiding with his laptop in the woods from unidentified assailants whom he believes are trying to kill him. He’s found coded messages on the laptop that he suspects portend a terrorist plot.
When Youssef is found dead, either by suicide or murder, Zack develops symptoms similar to Youssef’s, hearing voices and catching glimpses of his dead patient, whom he believes is trying to kill him, then witnesses the murder of another of his patients. He becomes entangled with Youssef’s widow Jamilah in her efforts to solve the mystery of her husband’s death and the coded message on his computer, but nothing in Zack’s world is as it appears as he swings between concern for her safety and suspicion that she is responsible for Youssef’s death and part of the terrorist plot that he suspected.
Zack narrates his own story, his descent into madness, and the terror he endures as he struggles to hang onto the last remnants of his sanity.
If the Publisher’s Summary sparked your interest for Shared Madness, you can also watch the Book Trailer below:
Rick Moskovitz is a Harvard educated psychiatrist who taught psychotherapy and spent nearly four decades listening to his patients tell their stories. After leaving practice, he, in turn, became a storyteller, writing science fiction that explores the psychological consequences of living in a world of expanding possibilities, including even the prospect of evading death. His Brink of Life Trilogy, that I couldn’t find available yet in audiobook format, begins with the quest for immortality in the mid-21st century and concludes with a search for the origin of human life.
His characters deal with enduring moral and emotional struggles against a backdrop of a near future world that is still dealing with environmental crises as it navigates the intersection of human and artificial intelligence. In Shared Madness, he returned to his roots as a psychiatrist to write a first person tale of a psychiatrist who, while treating a psychotic patient, descends into madness and finds himself at the nexus of a deadly mystery.
Mr. Moskovitz has a strong presence on social media, and you can find him on the following channels: Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, Goodreads, YouTube.
The narrator, Joe Smith, has been a professional working actor and writer for 25 years (not constantly – this includes sleeping and eating). He grew up in Worcester, MA where his parents founded and ran the Worcester Foothills Theatre Company. In Boston and now in Los Angeles, Joe has worked in theatre, film, TV, voice-over, commercials, storytelling/stand-up, live events, and in most other corners of show biz, plus one eulogy.
He created the public radio parody IPR : Irrational Public Radio. He is a member of the performers unions SAG/AFTRA and AEA. He has taught acting and been guest lecturer at Clark University and Orange County School of the Arts. He plays blues harmonica, was on Wheel of Fortune, and once built a pretty decent shoe bench.
