LIGHTS OUT TONIGHT

Critic Caroline Enright looks forward to interviewing her favorite movie star and reporting on the opening night of a hot new play. But anticipation turns to dread as murders stack up in a small summer theater community. Isabel Keating presents a competent and transparent rendition of the crime drama, imparting believability to both heroes and villains of both genders. Her renditions of Caroline's two cameramen deserve special note for their comedic timing and accents. Keating keeps the plot moving at a brisk pace, and her subtle shadings of voice avoid giving away the killer's identity too soon. This will keep listeners wide awake on a long drive.
