SHADOWS IN THEIR BLOOD

Diana Bishop brings this delightful mystery to life, whether or not one believes in vampires. Trixie Dolan, the scatter-brained narrator, and Evangeline Sinclair, her peevish, imperious cohort, are both former movie stars who are on location in an abandoned castle, during a storm, for a DRACULA remake. There are long, agonizing screams, bats flying through the halls, and a director who serves only red wine and other blood-colored fare at meals and who has a mistress with an unusual wound on her throat. Sounds trite? Not at all! Listen once for the mystery and again for the fun Bishop has with her characters and setting. K.A.T. (c) AudioFile 2004, Portland, Maine [Published: JUN/ JUL 04]
