Review: The Depresso Trilogy by O. W. Láav, performed by Pamela Almand
The Depresso Trilogy is an enjoyable and darkly entertaining action mystery from Canadian writer O. W. Láav. In The Depresso Trilogy, we follow Owen, a suicidal man who can’t seem to die, no matter how many times he’s tried to end his life.
But when an ambitious and troubled police captain by the name of Dinah Borst offers him the chance to find a purpose in life: to help the police leveraging his ability to avoid death, he thinks that something worth living for.
Owen and Dinah will give all they have to save the city but at the same time, they must overcome their own personal challenges, fears and misconceptions.
Former 747 captain, Multi Award-Winning SAG/AFTRA narrator and voice actor Pamela Almand keeps us entertained throughout the almost 11 hours of the audio production and delivers a captivating performance.
Pam is one of my favorite narrators in the Audiobooks Industry, and listening to her bringing to life these stories is like spending quality time with a close friend.
Her narration for The Depresso Trilogy is, as always, top-notch, so it comes as absolutely no surprise that she brings our flawed heroes to life in another captivating and flawless, signature performance.
If you like well-written, darker, and thrilling stories featuring flawed characters, intense action, and gritty investigations, then The Depresso Trilogy is definitely for you. This is a dark book, dealing with chronic depression. But Mr. Owen Laáv, writes from experience, and sheds so much light and compassion on his characters that you come away with knowledge and even empathy for them.
However, if you struggle with depression, anxiety, or have suicidal thoughts, it is recommended that you skip this novel, as some events may be triggering, and reach out to professionals for help.
I enjoyed the time spent with The Depresso Trilogy and I’ll be keeping an ear out for more works of fiction from this author.
As always, Pam’s narration enhances and enriches the listening experience making this story even more enjoyable!
We hope that you enjoyed this article and, if you did, that you will share it with your friends on social media.
