HUNTING SEASON

The hunt for an action-packed thriller coupled with a breathtaking reading is over. This author's latest release--not about the outdoor sport suggested in the title--but about a former FBI agent's search for his missing daughter and the coincidental discovery of a plot to bomb Washington is excitingly performed by veteral Deuterman-reader, Dick Hill. As the plot meticulously unfolds, Hill demonstrates his versatility scene-by-scene in his portrayal of multiple characters. He can be a strident FBI boss in one instant, and a red-neck mountain man in the next. Or, he can deftly portray Janet Carter, a fledgling agent, or Missy, a machine-like agency assassin. His masterly portrayal of Kriess is deftly understated as the ex-agent first hunts for his daughter, then the bombers, and then, in turn, is hunted by the CIA assassin. Deutermann's writing and Hill's reading provide the listener with intense, double-barreled entertainment. A.L.H. © AudioFile 2001, Portland, Maine [Published: JUN/JUL 01]
