About This Audiobook

Tomato Red is an electrifying audiobook that blazes through the hills of the Ozarks, led by Jamalee Merridew—a character as fiery and complex as her signature tomato-red hair. Daniel Woodrell’s masterful storytelling and Brian Troxell’s dynamic narration create a vivid tapestry of small-town intrigue and personal struggle. With sharp dialogue and a dose of humor, Woodrell crafts a narrative that challenges preconceived notions of identity in a rigidly traditional setting. This audiobook isn’t just about place; it's about the power of individuality in the face of societal constraints.

Editor's Review ★★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

Brian Troxell’s narration is nothing short of brilliant. His portrayal of Sammy Barlach and Jamalee Merridew brings to life the raw emotions and rebellious spirit that defines this audiobook. The pacing is perfect, keeping listeners on the edge of their seats as the story unfolds in the tight-knit community of Venus Holler. Woodrell’s writing is both lyrical and biting, capturing the essence of small-town life with a keen eye for detail and an unflinching gaze at its darker aspects. However, while the narrative shines, some of the subplots feel underdeveloped, detracting slightly from the overall impact. Nonetheless, Tomato Red remains a compelling listen that will resonate deeply with fans of genre fiction and those intrigued by complex, multifaceted characters.
