Midnight at the Blackbird Cafe is narrated by three people: Stephanie Willis, Bethany Lind, and Nicholas Techosky. Willis and Lind do an excellent job voicing their characters, who narrate separate chapters. The production quality is clear and sharp. Techosky’s part was unnecessary; he narrates chapters in which a reporter questions people associated with the Blackbird Cafe for a news article. Nothing becomes of the article, and the chapters are about sixty seconds, if that. Why did Webber include these? Techosky’s reading is cringey, too — women get the falsetto treatment.

But overall, Midnight at the Blackbird Cafe is an interesting, peaceful novel that is fairly predictable but an enjoyable ride nonetheless. It could be enjoyed either as audio or text, given that the author wrote the two female protagonist voices, Anna Kate and Natalie, differently.
