BODY OF LIES

Fast-paced and suspenseful, this psychological thriller combines obsession, greed, political intrigue, and murder with the human touch of devotion, commitment, and romance. Christine McMurdo-Wallis covers the full range of emotions and events in Johansen's story, which is both credible and believable, although based on a weak environmental conspiracy theory. Eve Duncan, an expert forensic sculptor, is manipulated to reconstruct a skull that may belong to a senator's political adversary. Lies and several dead bodies follow, as Eve struggles to overcome personal issues and a threat to her own life. The tenor and huskiness of McMurdo-Wallis's voice is a perfect match for this exciting story, with just enough swing and dip to portray the Louisiana accents. The listener won't miss a single nuance.
