HONEY WEST Murder on Mars

Since the late 1950s, the brash and beautiful Honey West has had a healthy cult following in novels, comics, and television. Now the alluring detective has been adapted to audio, and she’s found the perfect narrator. Carrington MacDuffie brings all the vocal sass, humor, and smarts needed to break a tough case wide open. In this first episode Honey goes undercover in Hollywood, even taking a bit part in AMAZONS FROM MARS to investigate the death of B-movie queen Zu Zu Varga. While the suspects and silly accents stack up quickly, the easy jazz soundscape and MacDuffie’s hard-boiled performance sound just like a comic book should—broad, bright, and colorful.
