THICK AS THIEVES

Ex-CIA operative Carr is too nice a guy to be a villain, but he's cast as one in THICK AS THIEVES. In William Dufris’s narration, you can hear what a nice guy Carr is, which makes you wonder what he's doing running with a pack of unlikable losers who are out to bilk a billionaire. Dufris makes Carr both believable and likable. Dufris also helps move the plodding plot along with his portrayal of Carr's inner torment and the lack of compassion of the other characters. The ending is a shocker and makes listening to the slow parts worthwhile. M.S. © AudioFile 2011, Portland, Maine [Published: AUGUST 2011]
