The Deep Blue Alibi

Steve Solomon and Victoria Lord are partners in law and in love. Victoria wants her space, legally and personally, as they defend her uncle on a murder charge. Meanwhile, each has a parent to deal with. Steve attempts to figure out the truth behind his dad's judicial suspension while Victoria copes with her difficult mother. Set in the Florida Keys, the story offers witty dialogue and a keen narration. William Dufris's voices are wonderful. A brash Steve, a frustrated Victoria, a growling father, and an upper-crust mother are distinct. Listeners also meet a diver with a consistent Kiwi accent, a precocious 12-year-old, air-head clients, and a dramatic Hispanic ex-girlfriend. This fun whodunit will make you want to sip a margarita by a beach. M.B. (c) AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine
