HELL

This gripping mystery opens as narrator Jeff Harding proclaims with searing pain, "Hell is watching the woman you love living a nightmare and not being able to help her." Miami detective Sam Beckett and his wife, Grace, experience a harrowing nightmare because psychopath Cal the Hater will do anything to hurt the Beckett family. Harding impeccably captures each diverse character, particularly Sam's partner, Martinez, with his ebullient personality and Latino accent as the duo rush to prove Grace's innocence when she's accused of murder. Equally realistic is the large extended Beckett family as they rally to support Grace in her time of need. Finally, hearing Harding's renditions of Cal the Hater's voice and threats will make listeners' skin crawl in this game of cat and mouse.
