MISTAKEN IDENTITY

Bennie Rosatto, hard-boiled lawyer, meets her "twin," Alice Connolly, who is equally hard-boiled, but on the criminal side--she's facing the death penalty for murder. Kate Harper plays the '"twins" to the hilt, cold, no-nonsense and divisive. All the other characters blend into the background as ineffectual and inconsequential. The fluid narration is jarred by chapter headings and tape side announcements that are shouted and sharply enunciated. Volume fluctuations and tinny sound plague the second half of the recording. Overall, nonstop action and several murder attempts negate the editing flaws. M.B.K. © AudioFile 2000, Portland, Maine [Published: DEC/JAN 01]
