SILENT PARTNER

When Angela Day is summoned to meet with Jake Lawrence, one of the world's richest entrepreneurs, she's warned by her bosses at the bank where she works to report back everything that occurs. But she quickly learns that Lawrence's enemies are everywhere and that she herself is at risk. Frey's plot is predictable and trite--with dialogue to match. Unfortunately, Norma Lana's performance doesn't help. She reads in a flat manner punctuated by inconsistent and unconvincing regional accents. As is often the case, in the hands of a better reader this could have been a more successful effort. S.S.R. (c) AudioFile 2003, Portland, Maine [Published: JUN/JUL 03]
