KILLER RIFF

Molly Forrester, advice columnist for ZEITGEIST magazine, has an opportunity to write a real piece, a profile of Olivia Elliot, daughter of music producer Russell Elliott. Russell recently died of an accidental overdose, but Olivia is convinced he was murdered. Rock stars, family feuds, missing music tapes, and romance set the stage for this fourth episode in Anderson's appealing series. Kirsten Potter narrates the pop-culture mystery with admirable restraint. In a pleasing, engaging tone, she resists the temptation to make Molly squeaky-clean and overly ingenuous. Her honesty as a young woman facing personal dilemmas in the world of rock-and-roll superstars is winning. Fans of stories featuring young, single women in the midst of urban angst will find this a fun listen. S.J.H. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine [Published: APR/ MAY 08]
