NEVER FEAR

You don't usually expect a passionate performance in a murder mystery, but, thanks to Shelly Frasier, you get one here. Back in this thriller is Homicide Detective Alex Delillo, who is notified that a half-brother she never knew about has been killed. Alex begins a search for her father, who abandoned her, which in turn leads her to a suspect in the killing of three women seventeen years earlier. The ingenious plot turns again and again. Frasier has a clear, logical sounding voice and a pleasant rhythm. Her performance makes Frost's second outing a pleasure, and, don't worry, based on the quality of this offering, there will most likely be a third.
