GARDEN OF EVIL

Fields is the voice of Britt Montero, investigative reporter for the MIAMI HERALD. She's tough, headstrong, smart, sexy and (surprise) maternal. Here she gets kidnapped by the Kiss Me Killer (female), whose specialty is post-coital murder. One of her victims leaves a small son whom Britt must protect. Fields treats us to impersonations of the snarling killer, Britt with a nosebleed, the scared child, and a host of minor characters. The car chase is just one of many tense scenes that call for split-second timing. A subplot involving the stalking of an ex-Orange Bowl Queen requires sensitivity. Fields is up to the challenge. She's had some practice; this is her third Montero adventure for BOT. J.B.G. © AudioFile 2000, Portland, Maine [Published: DEC/JAN 01]
