OUR LADY OF IMMACULATE DECEPTION

Karen White’s convincing matter-of-fact delivery gives extra punch to the continual surprises in the life of Roxy Abruzzo. The single mother of a teenaged daughter, Roxy runs Bada Bling Architectural Salvage and tries to stay out of her Uncle Carmine’s business as boss of the Pittsburgh Mafia. White gives distinctive vocal characterizations to the well-drawn characters. The edgy vibe she uses to portray Roxy, in particular, adds texture and a touch of humor. Overall, her narration captures the irony and wit of the zany characters and their sometimes-wicked repartee. S.C.A. © AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine [Published: JULY 2010]
