DEVIL'S CORNER

Scottoline's latest features sassy Prosecutor Vicki Allegretti and her search for her partner's killer and a confidential informant. The book features interesting characters and a formula that makes for easy listening. Barbara Rosenblat gives a typically solid performance, providing each character with a unique personality and sound. In particular, Rosenblat deftly handles the banter between Allegretti and Reheema, a product of Devil's Corner, the West Philadelphia neighborhood where much of the story unfolds. While Rosenblat seems less intense than in past performances, DEVIL'S CORNER is an entertaining listen that won't disappoint Scottoline's fans.
