THE COLOR OF FEAR Sharon McCone, Book 33

Elizabeth Evans is completely convincing as she narrates bestselling author Marcia Muller's 34th Sharon McCone mystery. While Sharon's 82-year-old father, a world-famous Shoshone artist, is visiting for the Christmas holidays, he is brutally beaten by a racially motivated mob and lies in a coma. Evans is especially compelling at delivering McCone's anguish over her father's grave condition. But she also projects McCone's strength and determination as she begins her own investigation into her father's attackers. And when McCone herself receives death threats from a white supremacist hate group, Evans's voice reflects her deep concern. After McCone's office is vandalized, she takes matters into her own hands, and Evans captures her take-no-prisoners attitude. Evans is spot-on delivering Muller's dialogue, unique characters, and crisp plotting. S.J.H. © AudioFile 2017, Portland, Maine [Published: AUGUST 2017]
