About this title

From AudioFile:

CRITICAL is Robin CookÕs latest book featuring recurring characters Laurie Montgomery and Jack Stapleton. George GuidallÕs performance is spot-on, as usual, but itÕs hard to imagine him keeping a straight face in the booth. First, thereÕs some atrocious dialogue between two violent thugs. ItÕs hard to take them seriously when they say ÒHispanicsÓ and refer to Rohypnol as Òthe date rape drug,Ó as opposed to a Òroofie.Ó Other than the silly dialogue and shallow characters, the story is engaging as it recounts LaurieÕs travails in solving a series of gruesome staff infection deaths. Still, despite GuidallÕs perfect performance, this is more of a movie of the week than a blockbuster. E.D.H. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
