The Narration Is A Shade Frenetic In The Beginning, As Maxwell Breathlessly Introduces The Key Players (the Murdered Actress, Natalie Raines; Her Husband-and Chief Suspect-greg Aldrich; Assistant Prosecutor Emily Wallace; And Her Serial Killer Stalker, Zach Lanning) In An Overly Upbeat Chirp.

These Flaws Aside, This Audio Book Proves Entertaining Summer Listening.a Simon & Schuster Hardcover (reviews, Mar. 30). (apr.)copyright © Reed Business Information, A Division Of Reed Elsevier Inc.
