EVIL IN ALL ITS DISGUISES

Anticipating a relaxing getaway at a lavish Acapulco resort, travel writer Lily Moore is instead unsettled by trouble in paradise that she can't quite identify. The vast hotel is eerily vacant, a fellow writer has suddenly disappeared, and an old rival makes a surprise appearance as the general manager. When Lily attempts to leave the resort, she begins to suspect an elaborate trap. Narrator Hilary Huber supplies refined accents for most of the Mexican characters. As she delivers subtly dark portrayals of one potentially evil person after another, the listener's suspicions become as jumbled as Lily's. Huber adeptly personifies Lily's increasing confusion as she attempts to replace her growing fear with her hallmark cleverness as she unravels the hotel's secrets.
