Circle of Influence

Romy Nordlinger narrates this tangled whodunit with an energetic blend of humor and bewilderment. Almost everyone in rural Vance Township, Pennsylvania, loathes the town chairman. So when a local businessman's dead body is found in the chairman's abandoned Cadillac, townspeople jump to conclusions. Nordlinger has a clear, resolute voice for Zoe Chambers, the paramedic who is determined to discover the murderer, even if it turns out to be someone in her own circle. Nordlinger depicts the town chairman as a dim-witted loudmouth and renders the beloved grandmotherly police secretary with gentle respect. Zoe just hopes that her blossoming romance with the police chief won't interfere with his ability to catch the killer. N.M.C. © AudioFile 2015, Portland, Maine
