private ivy
We turn the clock back to 1939, and a girl named Ivy Virtue. Her father is an ex-cop, and her mother is the first Puerto Rican woman to be a successful private detective. When that mother is stricken with terminal cancer and that father becomes an alcoholic, Ivy throws herself headfirst into a series of bizarre and lethal cases that push every one of her limits. Before her first case is said and done, the girl they call “Private Ivy” will also be known as something else…legend.
Meet Ivy Virtue
Heartfelt, emotional, and suspenseful, the young adult adventures of the critically-acclaimed and award-winning Private Ivy are brought to life by an incredible cast of 12 actors doing 25 voices. It also features another dramatic musical score, sound effects, and every bit the feel of a cinematic drama.
“When you sit down and listen to “PRIVATE IVY”, it feels like you’re listening to an old-fashioned radio drama or the more modern podcast dramas of today. It is filled with the right amount of comedic dialogue and hardboiled noir to keep the listener hooked. The performances of all the voice actors were delightful and charming. It is the type of experience that one would want to share with their friends and family.”
