For spine-chilling suspense, listeners should look no further than the works of New York Times best-selling author Jeffery Deaver. Murder and betrayal are all hallmarks of his intricate tales.

Soon she is cut off from her radio—and her firearm—and she embarks on a desperate race into the forest to escape with her life.

      Usually a strong plotter, bestseller Deaver (The Bone Collector
      ) fails to deliver on the promise of this stand-alone thriller’s nicely creepy opening. When two masked men break into the isolated lakeside weekend house of Steven Feldman, who works for the Milwaukee Department of Social Services, and his wife, Emma, an attorney who may have stumbled on union corruption in the course of some corporate research, Steven has just enough time to phone 911 before the intruders shoot him and Emma dead. That interrupted plea for help brings Deputy Brynn McKenzie, who possesses a set of predictable emotional baggage (an abusive ex-wife, a troubled teenage son), to the scene. A protracted and less than suspenseful game of cat-and-mouse between McKenzie and the hired guns responsible for the murders ensues. A few twists will catch some readers by surprise, but the pacing and characterizations aren’t up to Deaver’s best.

      Deaver's cat-and-mouse thriller plunges Wisconsin Deputy Brynn McKenzie into a case involving the murder of a husband and wife at their remote vacation home. When she investigates the scene of the crime, what she discovers sends her fleeing from the house with a guest who also escaped the killers. Together they make a terrifying journey through the woods--with the killers on their trail. Narrator Holter Graham superbly handles each member of the cast, giving every one a distinctive voice and persona. Most impressive of all is Graham's ability to keep up with the breathless pace as the story rushes toward its end--and a big surprise. M.T.B. (c) AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine

      An aborted 911 call in the Wisconsin night results in a gripping chase rooted in politics and vengeance. Officer Brynn McKenzie finds herself on the run with a stranger, trying desperately to stay ahead of two killers. As the chase wears on, the listener learns more and more about what drives McKenzie--and her nemesis. Deaver provides excellent development of both major and supporting players, as well as a fast-moving plot. Holter Graham doesn't miss a beat. Shifting cadence and varying tones, he gives specific voices to each character on the run. Graham's consistency with the voices keeps the listener on track through twist after twist in a classic survival tale. M.B. (c) AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine
