AN ACCIDENTAL WOMAN

A love story between kind, gentle Heather Malone and taciturn Micah Smith turns into a mystery when Heather is taken into custody for murder. Heather refuses to speak in her own defense, so Poppy, her paraplegic friend, hires an attorney. Poppy, depicted with love and concern, is convinced it's a case of mistaken identity and wonders if Heather has a twin. Narrator Jennifer Wiltsie portrays police with authority and several minor characters with charming New England accents. Wiltsie accomplishes character portrayal with seamless gender changes. Well-done emotion-laden scenes of fear and suspected betrayal make this a gripping story for a long commute. G.D.W. (c) AudioFile 2003, Portland, Maine [Published: FEB / MAR 03]
