DATING IS MURDER

Annika, a German au pair, has disappeared from her host family's house and from her part-time job on the reality TV set of "Biological Clock." Her friend Wollie Shelley, a greeting card artist and actor on the set, realizes Annika is missing, reports the disappearance to the LAPD, and sets about trying to find her with a charming police detective. Bernadette Dunne gives a dry, slow reading with precise pronunciation and stiff accents. As Wollie and the detective, along with the TV crew, search for Annika, they stumble upon an FBI investigation into drug dealing. However, the detecting, clues, and intrigue get lost in the slowness of Dunne's narration. M.B.K. © AudioFile 2005, Portland, Maine [Published: DEC 05/ JAN 06]
