SUPER SUSPENSE AND A STRONG VOCAL PERFORMANCE
11 Jun 2005
Format:Audio CD
Already entrenched as one of the most popular authors of legal thrillers, Lisa Scottoline shows no signs of success lag. Her twelfth book, Devil's Corner, is once more headed by spunky, bright heroine, Vicki Allegretti, and peppered with trenchant dialogue.
Vicki's the kind of gal who finds trouble wherever she looks, and determinedly faces it down. She packs a wallop and a gun, sometimes in her left coat pocket "where it could shoot out an ovary." Actress Barbara Rosenblat gives a strong vocal performance as Vicki allies herself with Reheema Bristow to break up a gang dealing in cocaine and death.
Meeting an informant can be standard procedure for Vicki but when she shows up at the appointed time what she confronts is a loaded gun. By dint of determination and a lot of luck she escapes a bullet but two others aren't so fortunate. She's at a loss to understand why and how a routine meet turned into a massacre.
Her investigation takes her to Philadelphia's sleazier neighborhood, one known as Devil's Corner, a haven for no one but dealers and thieves. It's easy to discover who deals; the big question is who's behind the dealers?
A former trial lawyer and Edgar Award winner, Scottoline has delivered another rousing ride through places both low and high with the indefatigable Vicki exceeding the suspense limit at every turn.

An Excellent Narration
25 Aug 2009
Format:Audio CD
The story is a nice mystery. There are many plot turns and Ms Scottoline has a great sense of humor that makes one laugh when the tension grows. Vicki and Rahema are strong characters. I have to strongly disagree with the prior reviewer. I thought the narrator was superb.
Like the narrator!

Format:Audio CD
One reason I chose another Scottoline book was because I like the narrator. She does a superb job with the characters and I will continue to look for her books. Great job.
