THE WITNESS

Three sisters, two of them newly wealthy, the other on the run from a gangster whose crime she witnessed, end up in the same town and fall in love with police officers. If you can get by the unlikely scenario, then this audio has some things to recommend it. Lynn Brooks has an earnest, well-paced presentation with some vocal differentiation. Police radio and telephone calls are amplified. What's missing, however, is emotional depth. It's difficult to get involved with these people, no matter whose thoughts one is privy to or how much danger they're in. This is part of Henderson's faith-based series.
