DEAL WITH THE DEAD

Ron McLarty is an expert audio performer. The faint gravel in his American voice and his mastery of the cadences of various types of villains make him a natural for a hard-boiled mystery such as this. DEAL WITH THE DEAD is part of a series featuring John Deal, a construction contractor in south Florida. People are beaten up, and some are dispatched to their eternal reward, with great frequency--thugs are thugs, and most of them do not survive. Deal unravels an aspect of his past, and a righteous bad guy gets away. With McLarty's able help, what more could one want? D.R.W. (c) AudioFile 2003, Portland, Maine [Published: APR/MAY 03]
