“Characters are interesting and well developed…While a few of Beth Porter’s New York accents are overdone, most are believable, and her Maine accents are convincing as she maintains the integrity of the characters through her presentation of their vocal personalities. There’s lots of New York atmosphere, too. A light, enjoyable mystery.”
