RED DEATH

Rugged, hard-core detective fiction, Mosley's book blends suspense and action with realism--a perfect choice for audiophiles of this genre. Music sets the mood and cues the listener at the beginning and end of each cassette, drawing one quickly into the story. As a performer, Stanley Bennett Clay excels in this rendition. Both male and female vocal characterizations are appealing and believable, and Clay's well-paced, rich tones stylize the text so that it is difficult to imagine any other voice but his for Easy Rawlins. Dynamic and exciting, this reading will keep listeners engaged and ready for the next tape. J.S.G. ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: MAR 95]
