Using her mobile phone-camera, Meaghan Wallace records the death scene of an underage Asian girl at the home of a wealthy Australian businessman. Before she’s caught, she sends the digital video to a friend. When Meg is murdered, her boss hires P. I. Makedde Vanderwall to investigate. Mak seeks answers from the seedier sides of Sydney and Melbourne, including strippers, junkies, and a dominatrix named Serena. Moss reads the book herself, and while her reading is not flash and fireworks, it’s intelligent storytelling delivered in a straightforward manner. Her voice is rich and pleasant, and she avoids overdoing characterizations. The fourth in Tara Moss's series about the gorgeous ex-model-forensic psychologist-private investigator is fast paced and fun. S.J.H. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine [Published: FEB/ MAR 07]
