WHEN DAY BREAKS

The cutthroat world of network television is fodder for a mystery. When Constance Young, the bitchy anchor of the morning news, is electrocuted in her pool, it's hard to tell who did it because ALL the anchors hate each other. A trio of women decides to investigate. Isabel Keating provides the most distinctive voice for Eliza Blake, the evening news anchor and the one likable character. She also provides an amusing voice for cameraman B.J., as well as a voice that captures the killer's determination. Keating keeps the pace going as quickly as possible. But even the prologue---the brutal murder of a Great Dane in Young's pool--is grisly without being gripping, and the story's climax drags.
