About this title

About the Author:

Martha Grimes is the bestselling author of eighteen Richard Jury mysteries and also the acclaimed fiction Foul Matter, Cold Flat Junction, Hotel Paradise, The End of the Pier, and The Train Now Departing.

From AudioFile:

Grimes has a knack for creating engaging characters, and, not surprisingly, Andi Oliver is unique and likable, especially for his iron backbone and a deep affinity for animals. Renˆ©e Raudman superbly creates the perfect voice--calm and natural--to endear listeners to Andi even more. The story itself is a blatant exposˆ© and indictment of the factory farm, the hog-raising industry, in this case. Raudman makes each character's voice distinctive and expertly modulates her tone and pitch to build tension and sustain suspense. She puts real feeling into the graphic descriptions of animal abuse as she effectively delivers this disturbing story.
