NIGHT FALL

John Corey, detective-hero of PLUM ISLAND and THE LION'S GAME, returns to puzzle out questions about the crash of TWA Flight 800. Even after 5 years, the crash's official explanation conflicts with possible terrorist involvement. Scott Brick has a clear take on Nelson DeMille's tension-rich style. Building the suspense and puzzling through layers of questions, Brick leads listeners with a comfortable style. Using enough character voices to keep the portraits clear, he colors Corey with a vocal depiction that lets the wise-guy sarcasm bloom while the "won't-take-no" instincts run deep alongside. Nicely nuanced and involving. R.F.W. (c) AudioFile 2005, Portland, Maine [Published: FEB/ MAR 05]
