EASY MONEY

Alison Kerry is a “driver.” That means she carries things in her car from place to place and has learned to “ask no questions.” When Alison goes to Seattle for an easy pickup, her contact is shot dead. She’s shot at and escapes, not knowing whom she can trust as more people die. Betty Bobbitt reads this thriller with such a slow pace that the listener forgets Alison is on the run for her life. Bobbitt’s delivery is emotional, but she can’t seem to whip the narration into any sense of tension or panic. M.B.K. © AudioFile 2005, Portland, Maine [Published: AUG/SEP 05]
