A LONG LINE OF DEAD MEN

For more than a century, a private club of thirty-one men has met once a year to celebrate their accomplishments and eulogize those of their group who have passed away. When only one man remains alive, he selects thirty more to continue the legacy. Now someone appears to be hastening the demise of the current members, and Matthew Scudder is hired to find the killer. Actor Ken Howard superbly narrates, using some changes in tone and pitch to indicate character changes. Abridged recordings are like movies; while almost never as good as the complete book, they can be very entertaining. Commuters, joggers and others looking for three hours of entertainment will find it here. J.L. ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: JULY 95]
