COLLATERAL DAMAGE Ali Reynolds, Book 17

Narrator Karen Ziemba brings a matter-of-fact tone to this Ali Reynolds mystery. Ziemba lets listeners into the minds of its many characters on both sides of the law, starting with an ex-cop who's planning revenge on the people who helped send him to prison. Ziemba's delivery also illuminates the contributions of the law enforcement figures who prevent the contract killings the ex-cop has ordered. An awkward conversation between one of Reynolds's team members and a policeman who is on the case is augmented by Ziemba's gentle explanation of how the exchange could have gone better. The flat voice of the AI that assists Reynolds stays fresh throughout. J.A.S. © AudioFile 2023, Portland, Maine [Published: MARCH 2023]
