Mary Jane Clark has written a good whodunit, if a little dated now, using terms like "retarded." I believe it was written in 1998, when computers were new. Beth Fowler did a decent job of narrating. I enjoyed the characters, and the twist in the story had me guessing until the end.

Good whodunit

This mystery involving the sudden suicide of a famous Television News Anchor includes intriguing office politics/maneuvering, personal duplicity & secrets, and "Skeleton-In-The-Closet" threats to Presidential ambitions - that result in multiple murders. Mary Jane Clark (*NB: NOT Mary Higgins Clark) provides a well-plotted/conducted mystery sufficient to please fans of the genre.
Unfortunately, she makes a couple of mistakes: overburdening the story with too many (essentially extraneous) characters and telling the story with strikingly breakneck-paced short chapters (some as short as a single sentence). The result is what feels like a superficial survey of an outline of a story - with frequent unnecessary distractions. Setting aside the ludicrous "out-of-nowhere" climactic reveal, this book is hard to follow and requires that readers/listeners pay unusually close attention to get anything out of it.

Blackstone Audio Inc contributes to the errors with inferior casting. Sound Quality is excellent and technical support (volume control/segment splicing) is flawless.. but Beth Fowler reads with frequent breathlessness and subpar voice-acting. True, Fowler's diction, timbre, and pacing are unassailable, but the performance is overall "below-average".

You would be wise to avoid this 4.5/10 star recording were 'Do You Want To Know A Secret?' not made available as a 'Plus' selection.
As it stands (ie. "Free").. it's not a crazy way to spend a couple of quiet afternoons, I guess..

..just be prepared to be underwhelmed.

Relatively Unimpressive
