Her latest audiobook The Fervent Whites by De’Shawn Charles Winslow is highly praised by reviewers as one of the best books of the year, and scored a spot on Spotify's list of Best Fiction Books of the Year So Far. Marie-Françoise Theodore's narration of The Fervent Whites is praised for its pacing and engaging delivery with listeners and reviewers noting her ability to skilfully juggle the story’s dramatic shifts, capturing the intimate, small-town tension of 1980s upstate New York with a moody, captivating tone.

The Fervent Whites is a tale of guilt, shame, and suspicion as a small community in upstate New York turns on itself in this moody, propulsive thriller from the award-winning writer of In West Mills. The year is 1982, and the people of the Hudson Valley community of Fervent have begun to move on from a homicide that upended the once quiet town. When the former neighbours who were convicted of the crime, James and Ella White, are proven innocent, released from prison, and return to Fervent, some people have cause for concern. Sylvia Upshaw and her best friend, Lafayette “Fate” Jolly, are uneasy about the Whites’ return. While the Whites were incarcerated, Sylvia revealed an explosive secret to their adopted son, Morgan, with devastating consequences. During the murder trial, Fate’s testimony helped seal their fate. James and Ella won’t let the betrayals go unpunished. Sylvia and Fate quickly become victims of harassment from the Whites, and when another murder is committed in Fervent, the town is left to fend for itself.

Intimate and chilling, The Fervent Whites examines how small communities with long-simmering tensions behave when pushed to the limits of civility.
