VANISH

True to Gerritsen's reputation as a writer of complex mysteries, this story does not disappoint. The listener is treated to international crime, local and federal police action, forensic investigation, and even a subplot involving a newborn baby and budding maternal instinct. Anne Heche guides the listener along the winding path as each character does his/her job in trying to get to the bottom of the conspiracy. The pace of the story is fast and clipped, convincing the reader of the urgency to solve the crime quickly, before more lives are lost. Heche's film experience portraying a variety of characters is evident in her performance. S.K.P. © AudioFile 2001, Portland, Maine [Published: DEC 05/ JAN 06]
