THE WITCHFINDER

Here's another entry in Estleman's popular detective series set in Detroit and featuring Amos Walker, private eye. A dying, rich architect hires Walker to find out who faked an adulterous photograph thirty years ago and ruined a budding romance with the would-be love of his life. John Kenneth reinforces the tough and faintly cynical tone through nicely chosen characterizations. Kenneth uses accent to define a character, not pacing or volume or tone. Particularly well done is his version of inner-city street talk. D.W. (c) AudioFile 2002, Portland, Maine [Published: FEB/ MAR 02]
