ILLEGAL POSSESSION

Troy Bennett is an unlikely cat burglar. As the story opens, she's discovered in the middle of a burglary by houseguest Dallas Cameron. She leaves it to the straitlaced stranger whether to turn her in. As she shows him the "what" and "why" of her adventures, suspense and romance ensue. The interaction between Troy and Dallas is a delicate dance that Deanna Hurst seems to enjoy. She employs a hint of irony as the unflappable Troy slowly but surely draws Dallas into the intrigue she thrives on. As she deftly tosses off the repartee between the duo, Hurst maintains a light tone and an appropriate air of suspense. J.E.M. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine [Published: AUGUST 2008]
