Reviews
โCharacters are interesting and well developedโฆWhile a few of Beth Porterโs 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. Thereโs lots of New York atmosphere, too. A light, enjoyable mystery.โ
โMaintaining the charming fiction that Jessica Fletcher is a real person, Bain offers a first-person tale set primarily in New York CityโฆNo doubt Beth Porter was selected as the reader because she can, and does, sound just like Angela Lansbury. When various walk-ons speak, she changes her accent and intonations satisfactorily for purposes of character delineationโฆ[and] Jessica comes across in all her didactic glory.โ
