Corporate Bodies

Simon Jones, known for his PBS credits, effectively distinguishes the social status of the individuals with his characterizations in this Charles Paris mystery. The emotional intensity of their interpersonal relationships is also clearly presented. Resentment, anger, desire for revenge are well-communicated. Jones does not attempt a feminine tone although several significant characters are women; he simply softens his voice and lowers his volume. This mystery has an intriguing twist which is not particularly satisfying for those who like the punishment to fit the crime, but it's still quite convincing. M.G.S. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
