A unique thriller, presented by a talented ensemble.
Nancy Linari, Fred Sanders, and Gary Tiedemann work well together narrating this thriller in which a retired lawyer has to defend her husband, who might turn out to be a serial killer. When Robert is taken into custody for a string of killings along Florida’s Gulf Coast, Leslie returns to legal practice. Linari gives her a thoughtful, determined aura as she begins to examine evidence and weigh difficult choices. Sanders and Tiedemann provide a nice contrast, portraying Robert and the other people involved in the investigation. Together, the narrators establish a steady dramatic rhythm, guiding listeners through courtroom strategy, family conflict, and the gradual unfolding of the central mystery: Who is the Gulf Coast Killer?

Anne McCaffrey's matter-of-fact and straightforward storytelling makes credible this tale of a universe being colonized by humans, a few of whom have telekinetic and telepathic powers. Jean Reed-Bahle's skillful narration is as fast-paced as the storyline, and she has a broad range of voices. The use of an echo effect when characters communicate telepathically is appropriate and effective. Brilliance has produced a program that listeners from teenagers to adults will enjoy.

Robin Cook's medical thriller will have a built-in audience which, for the most part, will not be disappointed with this story. Medical Examiner Laurie Montgomery is certain there is a connection in a series of Yuppie deaths. Technically the production is of high quality; no intrusive sound effects or music detract from the listening experience, and the narration is well-paced. However, narrator Peters's British accent and pronunciations are, at best, out of character and are downright ludicrous when she tries to impersonate Italian-American gangsters. The choice of narrator is inexplicable since the story is set in New York, and all major characters are Americans. Regardless, larger collections will want to have this because of Cook's popularity.
