ONE OF US IS DEAD

A cast of five narrators brings to life a group of wealthy and self-absorbed housewives whose lives center around visits to the local beauty salon. When the divorce of the perceived leader of the group triggers her downfall, one of the other members, Olivia, employs a range of evil tactics in order to take her place. The use of multiple narrators to tell the story from different viewpoints is effective as it highlights the different personality traits of the women. The narrators' voices are well balanced, and each gives a polished and consistent performance. Hillary Huber's narration is particularly notable, as she creates a wonderfully egocentric character in Olivia, eliciting gasps and laughs in equal measures.
