GUN GAMES

Mitchell Greenberg has narrated many Kellerman novels, and he conveys the charming interaction between Rina Lazarus and her husband, Detective Peter Decker. As a result, when confronted with GUN GAMES, Greenberg brings the characters and plot to life with style. The book itself is really two stories. One is the mystery of why local high school students are dying in what appears to be a series of suicides. The other is the story of developing love between Lazarus and Decker’s foster child, Gabe, and Yasmine, a beautiful young Persian woman. While the love story is charming and engaging, the mystery of the youths’ deaths seems contrived. Fortunately, Greenberg is like a comfortable pair of slippers whose very presence will please Kellerman’s fans. D.J.S. © AudioFile 2012, Portland, Maine [Published: JULY 2012]
