Run You Down
(OverDrive MP3 Audiobook, OverDrive Listen)
Aviva Kagan was a just a teenager when she left her Hasidic Jewish life in Brooklyn for a fling with a smiling college boy from Florida-and then disappeared. Twenty-three years later, the child she walked away from is a NYC tabloid reporter named Rebekah Roberts. And Rebekah isn't sure she wants her mother back in her life.
But when a man from the ultra-Orthodox enclave of Roseville, N.Y. contacts Rebekah about his young wife's mysterious death, she is drawn back into Aviva's world. Pessie Goldin's body was found in her bathtub, and while her parents want to believe it was an accident, her husband is certain she was murdered.
Once she starts poking around, Rebekah encounters a whole society of people who have wandered "off the path" of ultra-Orthodox Judaism-just like her mother. But some went with dark secrets, and rage at the insular community they left behind.
In the sequel to her Edgar Award finalist Invisible City, Julia Dahl has created a taut mystery that is both a window into a secretive culture and an exploration of the demons we inherit.

Aviva Kagan was a just a teenager when she left her Hasidic Jewish life in Brooklyn for a fling with a smiling college boy from Florida-and then disappeared. Twenty-three years later, the child she walked away from is a NYC tabloid reporter named Rebekah Roberts. And Rebekah isn't sure she wants her mother back in her life.
But when a man from the ultra-Orthodox enclave of Roseville, N.Y. contacts Rebekah about his young wife's mysterious death, she is drawn back into Aviva's world. Pessie Goldin's body was found in her bathtub, and while her parents want to believe it was an accident, her husband is certain she was murdered.
Once she starts poking around, Rebekah encounters a whole society of people who have wandered "off the path" of ultra-Orthodox Judaism-just like her mother. But some went with dark secrets, and rage at the insular community they left behind.

April 27, 2015
The plot of Edgar-finalist Dahl’s so-so second novel featuring New York City reporter Rebekah Roberts (after 2014’s Invisible City) is as much about Rebekah’s struggles with the possible reentry into her life of her estranged mother, Aviva Kagan, as it is about her investigation into a suspected homicide. Levi Goldin, whose wife was found dead in a bathtub, disputes the official verdict of suicide, and asks Rebekah to dig deeper. Rebekah is still recovering from the trauma, both physical and mental, of her first mystery involving the ultraorthodox Jewish community, and she soon abandons her current job doing rewrites behind a desk. Flashbacks from the perspective of Aviva, who abandoned her daughter as an infant and who married out of her faith, detail how she rebelled against the strictures of her Jewish upbringing in the very type of community Rebekah now probes. A moving denouement makes up in part for the less than compelling mother-daughter story line and a major plot contrivance. Agent: Stephanie Rostan, Levine Greenberg Literary Agency.

- content: At first glance, this audiobook seems to be a simple whodunit--but it becomes apparent quickly that this is a complex story of ethnic and racial hatred interwoven with a subplot involving murder. Narrator Andi Arndt captures the two main characters, Rebekah Roberts, a journalist who is investigating the drowning of a young Hasidic wife, and Rebekah's mother, Aviva, who abandoned Rebekah when she was a baby. Arndt's New York /Yiddish accent is accomplished, and for many listeners it will create an image of the Hasidic culture that sets the crime in motion. Some of Arndt's other portrayals of the many characters that populate this drama are not as strong. But, overall, her performance is genuine. E.E.S. © AudioFile 2015, Portland, Maine

This sequel to Dahl's Invisible City is told from two points of view--those of Aviva, a mother who abandoned her daughter in infancy, and Rebekah, the daughter who is now a journalist in New York City. Aviva had grown up in New York in a strict Hasidic environment and rebelled by running away and having a baby with a Christian Floridian. After abandoning her daughter, Aviva returned to New York. Rebekah was raised by her father in Florida, then earned a degree in journalism, and found a job with a New York newspaper, where she had the freedom to investigate crime in the Jewish community. As she investigates the death of a young wife in an ultraorthodox Jewish community, she gets closer to her roots, as well as getting closer to her own peril. Rebekah discovers that her mother has links to the story she is investigating, and by the time the two women meet, they fear the repercussions of their connections. Andi Arndt narrates each voice distinctly. VERDICT The view Dahl offers into Hasidic society is captivating. This audiobook will be in demand, especially in diverse communities. ["Dahl's smart, twisty plot and suspenseful tone will grip mystery and thriller lovers until the final page": LJ Xpress Reviews 6/12/15 review of the Minotaur: St. Martin's hc.]--Ann Weber, Bellarmine Coll.
