NO COLDER PLACE

P.I.s Bill Smith and Lydia Chin go undercover to investigate a series of thefts and snafus at a New York construction site. They find murder and corruption in a fast-paced mystery that translates well to audio. The production values are great, making this consistently easy to listen to. Vogel's accents for the New York characters, particularly Bill's brick mason co-worker on the scaffold, are delightful. His ludicrous falsetto for Lydia and other female characters can be overlooked as the rest of the presentation more than makes up for it. D.T.H. © AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: AUG/SEP 99]
