ORIGIN

This impressive audiobook grabs listeners from the opening scene and never loosens its grip. Elisabeth Rogers's confident voice takes charge and allows for complete immersion in the plot and the lives of the characters. Protagonist Lena works in a crime lab and offers far more than insight into fingerprints--her intuition about the cases she encounters adds another dimension to the story entirely. Rogers provides reasonable renditions of a variety of characters and takes care not to step on the action with an overbearing performance. Listeners intrigued by both the mystery and the forensic details of crime novels will be riveted by this well-produced audiobook. L.B.F. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine [Published: DEC 07/ JAN 08]
