EYE OF THE BEHOLDER

In the case of this audiobook, it easily could be said that beauty is in the EAR of the beholder. That's because Dick Hill's performance, almost always first-rate, is even better than usual. Furthermore, the plot in this latest David Ellis mystery is also first-rate. What starts out to be a familiar story about a serial killer turns out to be much, much more. In fact, you will not only fail to guess whodunit, but also what was done. As the body count increases, Hill's technique ratchets up the excitement. Hill's killers, cops, and lawyers are honed to a fine edge. A.L.H. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine [Published: DEC 07/ JAN 08]
