In the latest Kathryn Dance mystery, the brilliant kinesics (body language) expert is up against a really sicko serial killer and an equally horrific Mexican drug cartel. Narrator January LaVoy excels in her timing, pacing, and sensitivity to the myriad subtleties in the story. She delivers children’s voices of both genders extraordinarily well, and the wide array of adult characters allows ample scope for her ability to develop multiple voices for the complex dialogue. Her Hispanic thugs are especially well done. LaVoy is so good as the lead that listeners will want her to be the voice of Kathryn Dance in all future publications.
