ABANDONED IN DEATH In Death, Book 54

Once again, narrator Susan Ericksen draws listeners into a gripping case of kidnapping and murder in New York City in the near future. Ericksen brings out Lt. Eve Dallas's determination when she is assigned to investigate the murder of a young woman who was found with a sign reading "Bad Mommy." Ericksen gives the killer a childlike quality that is chilling and eerie. Ericksen's performance is multilayered, and each character has a unique voice--from the Irish lilt of Dallas's husband to the gravelly voice of the head of forensics and the youthful eagerness of a police intern. It's easy to forget that the story is told by just one narrator. Whether this is the listener's first or fiftieth In Death story, they're guaranteed an enjoyable listening experience. S.B.
