TUNNEL VISION

TUNNEL VISION, a complex story of P.I. "Vic" Warshawski's battle for the homeless, includes several subplots in a maze of corruption, money laundering, and cover ups. Pamela Hensley Vincent's characterizations are well done, with a variety of excellent accents. Her depiction of Vic brings her to life for the listener. And her portrayal of Emily, the teenaged daughter of a friend, is compelling, particularly when Vic comes unbidden to Emily's rescue in a scene of hysteria and torment. While this excellent rendition is spoiled by intrusive chapter titles and subplots without resolution, Vincent's characterizations compensate for those problems. Warshawski fans won't be disappointed. G.D.W. (c) AudioFile 2003, Portland, Maine [Published: JUN/JUL 03]
