"WIDOWS" by Ed McBain Audio Edition

 


     Oh, the weather outside is frightful, the fire is so delightful and Ed McBain's 87th Precinct novel Widows performed by Dick Hill is totally absorbing.

     True to his form McBain has created realistic, believable characters in suspense filled situations leaving us hanging on uber narrator Dick Hill's every word.  As Publishers Weekly wrote, "McBain is so good he ought to be arrested."

     And for this listener Dick Hill is so good that he deserves even more awards than he already has on his mantel (3 Audie Awards and a Voice of the Century and a Golden Voice from AudioFile magazine.)

     With Widows it's more than business as usual at the 87th Precinct as Detectives Carella and Brown are called upon to investigate the murder of a young mistress in a penthouse apartment.  Enjoy!
