A SCOURGE OF VIPERS Liam Mulligan, Book 4

The versatile Jeff Woodman provides an outstanding narration of this crime story, which explores the corruption of sports gambling and its influence on politics at many levels of government. Liam Mulligan's newspaper career is nearly dead, but when he begins a story on the governor's proposal to legalize sports gambling, Mulligan soon finds his life in jeopardy. Wisecracking characters are enhanced by Woodman's charm and engagement with the story. He finds unique, consistent voices for the various principals, especially the governor; Mulligan's good friend, Attila the Nun; and his odious boss, Charles Twisdale. This masterful reading will charm most listeners even if the corruption exposed does not. S.C.A. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2015, Portland, Maine [Published: NOVEMBER 2015]
