CAPITAL CRIMES

Bestselling suspense authors Jonathan and Faye Kellerman team up for a pair of mysteries whose theme is capital cities. MY SISTER'S KEEPER moves between Berkeley and Sacramento, California, and involves the murder of a progressive state representative. The story focuses primarily on female figures, so Carrington MacDuffie does the reading. The other story, MUSIC CITY BREAKDOWN, takes place in Nashville, Tennessee. The plot involving music and murder is more male-oriented, and Stephen Hoye reads. Both narrators distinguish characters well with slight changes of tone or accent, and without artifice. Their pacing makes for easy listening. It would have been helpful had the publisher labeled which stories are on which discs. The stories break between discs, however.
