THE BOOK OF LIES

Bestselling author Brad Meltzer delivers an entertaining story that asks the question: What does Cain have to do with Superman? This imaginative story establishes a link between Cain’s murder of his brother, Abel, and the 1932 murder of the father of Superman’s creator, Jerry Siegel. To reveal more than that is do listeners a disservice, except to say that the world's first murder weapon is unveiled within. Narrator Scott Brick offers up a straightforward reading that captures the essence of the story, drawing listeners in with palpable tension. Brick's pacing is solid, his delivery steadfast. He’s an expert at fully engaging the listener. The haunting soundtrack creates an atmospheric mood for the story. L.B. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine [Published: OCTOBER 2008]
