THE BLACK ICE SCORE

A new African nation’s corrupt leader has stashed a treasury of diamonds somewhere in New York City. The nation’s good guys hire Parker to help them recover the rocks. Three mysterious tough guys and one second-rate con man muddy the waters as they each try to steal the diamonds. Narrator Stephen Thorne presents this caper with a storyteller’s skill and style. His accents are pleasant and believable, and his laid-back but distinctive style is right for the story. Overall, Thorne’s tone, cadence, and expression fully engage listeners. THE BLACK ICE SCORE is comfort food for the ears. T.J.M. © AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine [Published: DECEMBER 2010]
