DADDY'S GIRL

When Nat Greco, law professor, joins Angus Holt, a colleague with romance on his mind, on a teaching assignment at a nearby prison, she doesn't yet know she will rescue a guard, become a murder suspect, and be entrusted with a cryptic message from a dying man. Kate Burton powerfully characterizes a varied cast and makes them believable in this compelling legal thriller, which begins with a prison riot. Burton's adept pacing and staccato rhythm create an emotional pitch and a rising tension that animate her reading and deliver the message that the end justifies the means. Authentic sound effects accompany Burton's gripping narration to produce a captivating story. G.D.W. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine [Published: JULY 2008]
