BURN Detective Betty, Book 2

Narcotics Detective Betty Rhyzyk of the Dallas Police Department comes to life in Christie Moreau's gritty performance. Rhyzyk is on desk duty and grudgingly in therapy while recovering from injuries that occurred during her last adventure. But she still manages to investigate missing heroin, crooked cops, and the underworld of Dallas's drug cartel. Moreau's steady narration tamps down on Rhyzyk's distress as she struggles to untangle clues and questions whom she can trust. Mixing stealth and misdirection, Rhyzyk peels back lie upon lie in scenes depicted by Moreau in a gruff voice and controlled emotional tones. Throughout this complex thriller Moreau expertly conveys the building tension of deeply hidden rage. M.B.K. © AudioFile 2020, Portland, Maine [Published: MAY 2020]
