INTERLIBRARY LOAN A Borrowed Man, Book 2

Narrator Tim Gerard Reynolds portrays E.A.Smithe, a hard-boiled detective with a soft spot or two for a child who is trying to discover if her father is dead. Smithe is a clone who has the voice of a deceased mystery writer. In a future hundreds of years from the present, Smithe and two fellow clones, a cookbook writer and a romance writer, forge a complex relationship. Reynolds captures Smithe's moments of tenderness but always maintains the clone's crusty exterior. As usual, Reynolds is particularly adept with adult female characters, creating expressive personalities without strain or awkwardness. J.E.M. © AudioFile 2020, Portland, Maine [Published: JULY 2020]
