BORN IN DEATH

Eve Dallas, a tough cop in 2060 New York, can handle the bloodiest crime scene, but being her best friend Mavis's birth coach is an entirely different matter. Dallas is saved from that task when she's summoned to work the double homicide of a young accountant and her fiancé. Then Mavis contacts the already overwhelmed Dallas and pleads with her to find a pregnant missing friend who is about to deliver. The audio skips smoothly along, connecting subplots blithely, and Susan Ericksen never misses a beat. She switches accents easily from that of Dallas's handsome Irish husband, Roark, to that of whiny, pregnant Mavis. With a light touch she unites the futuristic slang, sensual sex, and Dallas's shifting emotions. S.W. 2007 Audies Award Finalist © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine [Published: FEB/ MAR 07]
