BLIND DESCENT

Caves. Claustrophobia. Politics. Murder. Wrap them all around a diverse cast of characters, and another adventure of park ranger Anna Pigeon comes vividly to life. As Pigeon sets out on a subterranean rescue mission, determined to save her longtime friend despite her own fears of closed spaces, veteran reader Barbara Rosenblat pulls the listener into this tale of human complexities and courage. She capitalizes upon the underlying sardonic humor that balances the suspense and intensity of the plot. Rosenblat even belts out a few phrases of song in her rich contralto, leaving the listener wishing for more. J.E.M. ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: DEC/JAN 99]
