HOMICIDE SPECIAL A Year In the Life of the LAPD'S Elite Detective Unit

Corwin provides a fascinating look at the most complex and intriguing murder cases in LA, which are handled by the detectives in Homicide Special. He follows the detectives as they investigate a thirty-year-old cold case, the death of a movie star's wife (not O.J.), a drowning death, and several others. Unlike the investigations in murder mysteries and TV shows, these last years. Corwin shows how the detectives keep up with all leads and still handle new cases. Jonathan Davis performs admirably, presenting the facts and creating dialogue and subtle characterizations during the interrogations and interviews. Davis's emotional distance reflects the distance detectives keep while dealing with crime and death in its many guises. M.B.K. (c) AudioFile 2004, Portland, Maine [Published: AUG/ SEP 04]
