Helpful Score: 2

Patricia Cornwall, who brought us the indomitable Kay Scarpetta has brought an even more interesting cast of characters. They were first introduced to us in _At_Risk_. We learn a little more about them in _The_Front_, and go for a thrilling and convoluted mystery adventure. The only drawback for me was the reader, Kate Reading. She has a great many different voice at her disposal, and does a great job, in general, of making the story more like a play. However, she chose a strange voice for our main character, and it was also too close to the narrator, causing a bit of confusing sometimes about what our character, Win, was thinking versus what was actually happening.
