Indivisible

This romantic suspense with a Christian point of view showcases restrained characters and intricate plotting. Chief of Police Jonah Westfall, of Redford, Colorado, battles alcohol and a rash of crimes. Drugs and mutilated animals are showing the small town's growing pains. The animal mutilations are graphic, and mental illness is presented strikingly. Kirsten Potter brings Jonah vividly to life, portraying him with attentive details. Also, she smoothly provides differentiated voices for the secondary characters--Tia Manning, Jonah's childhood love; fun-loving young Piper; and taciturn Sarge. Potter's vocal talents reflect the well-drawn characters' many moods as the suspense builds and complications enter their lives. S.C.A. (c) AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine
