IN A STRANGE CITY


In A Strange City
by Laura Lippman


Alright, this may be the last book I read or listen to of Laura Lippman. The woman reading it sounds as though she may have emphysema or soon to have it. Defiantly a smoker voice; the a low throaty resonance in her voice that the enunciation all sounds like a monotone blur. Now I don't know the entire theme or plot of the story attempting to understand her at the same time being disgusted by her voice. Strangely the last person I think who read for Laura Lippman's book about this same detective, the voice was like 20 years younger.
Basically, there is a person killed at the anniversary of something to do with Edger Allan Poe and some thieves of antiques or they think are old from Poe.
I do not know what the main reason for the theft and killing was, nor who all these people really were. Just contrived dribble.
Read by Barbara Rosenblat.
