Good Morning, Killer (Audio CD) (Abridged)
Good Morning Killer - Audio CD - Abridged Author:April Smith, Christine Baranski (Narrator) Special Agent Grey is working on a kidnapping case -- a fifteen-year-old named Juliana has been abducted in Santa Monica. Grey’s counterpart in the Santa Monica Police Department is Detective Andrew Berringer. They’ve worked together before—and they’ve been more than just working together ever since. — It’s Ana&rsquo... more »;s job “to know the victim as if she were my own flesh and blood.” But when Juliana turns up -- traumatized into a state of total and paralyzing terror -- it becomes clear that Ana has gone too far: she is viewing her own life from the perspective of Juliana’s blasted emotional terrain. And, in a moment of passion (Andrew has betrayed her) and panic (is it possible that he also means to harm her?), Ana points a gun at him and shoots.
Now she is both criminal investigator and criminal as she breaks her bail agreement to continue tracking the abductor, torn between her powerful emotional connection with Juliana and the fraying connection she has to her own common sense and to the truths she knows about Andrew -- and about herself.
Audio Review:
Christine Baranski's brassy delivery works well as she becomes FBI Special Agent Ana Grey, tough, sensitive, sensual, smart. Her search for a rapist/killer who targets young girls is complicated because she's under house arrest for shooting her lover, a Santa Monica police detective. Baranski's tones change appropriately as Gray encounters a victim who managed to escape with her life, the wounded boyfriend she still loves, suspects, co-workers, and finally the killer who has her trapped. There are several plot lines here, but both author and reader have them firmly in hand. (Grey appeared first in "North of Montana".) -- AudioFile
