RECKLESS EYEBALLIN'

A wife shoots her husband over breakfast. That same morning a woman is found brutally murdered. Are the deaths of an abusive black cop and an adulterous white socialite linked? For Homicide Detective Starletta Duvall, this is all in a day's work. Marc Johnson achieves a masterful interpretation of this racially and gender-mixed mystery. He's convincing as a sassy African-American woman, an angry white teenaged girl, and a jocular Italian-American homicide detective. As an added value at the end of the novel, we are given a list of similar audio stories. P.R. (c) AudioFile 2003, Portland, Maine [Published: APR/MAY 03]
