THE PEARL HARBOR MURDERS

This clever gem of a whodunit begs for a practiced performer, and Jeff Woodman fits the bill. That's because the narrator is called upon to portray an entire cast of characters, including stern military types, an American writer, and German and Japanese spies. When two Japanese-American people are killed in Hawaii on the eve of the Pearl Harbor attack, famed Tarzan creator Edgar Rice Burroughs and his son set out to find the culprit. As Collins again melds historical fact, famous people, and homicide, as he did in THE TITANIC MURDERS and THE HINDENBERG MURDERS, Woodman clearly and capably tells the fascinating story. The only problem is that the listener cannot tell the difference between fact and fiction. A.L.H. (c) AudioFile 2002, Portland, Maine [Published: DEC 02/ JAN 03]
