THE GLASS KEY

Sophisticated urbanites move through a tangled gray area between the law and the underworld. Even when one loses track of the plot, the characters remain engaging. William Dufris is almost startling. He doesn’t sound like one reader giving each character a distinctive vocal signature. He sounds like a lot of different people. The casual listener might mistake this for an ensemble recording with a cast that includes women. Dufris also handles narrative passages with unusual liveliness. J.N.
