À propos de cet audio
When ex-nun Christine Bennett can't get into her friend Mr. Herskovitz's apartment to accompany him to Yom Kippur services, she discovers that he's been murdered. The police arrest someone almost immediately, but Chris isn't ready to end her own investigation.
©1992 Lee Harris (P)2012 Audible, Inc.The main character’s naïveté really is believable, once you remind yourself that she is a white person who just came out of a convent.
One particular aspect of her naïveté combines with her apparently complete lack of knowledge about the racism so very widespread in the NYPD of the early ‘90s (even worse than today’s rampant racism), and of the NYPD corruption that was so very common back then (see force-wide “cleanups“ in later years), to make her far too sympathetic towards the NYPD. Yep, I’m a crime scientist (a.k.a. criminologist), so am aware of the substantial amount of available empirical proof of the NYPD’s racism and corruption.
The narrator is very good at performing female voices, and good at performing some male voices, while other males sound far too similar to each other. There is one big fail fail of hers, though, her Irish accent attempt is rather horrid. Her Yiddish accents are better, but still leave. a lot inc to be desired. Given how absolutely horrible so very many British narrators are at attempting American/Canadian accents, I guess it’s not too weird that an American narrator is so bad at an Irish accent, eh? ;-D
Great book; narrator fail with accents
