Exposure

I use books on tape as a way of enduring long, boring, road trips, tedious chores, and as a distraction while exercising. The book has got to be interesting enough to keep me going, or I'll stop it after the first cassette and find another. "Exposure" was a shot in the dark as I'd never heard of the author and don't know anybody else who has read or listened to this book. However, after listening to it, I'll not hesitate to look for more by Evelyn Anthony. The plot is interesting from the beginning and kept me intrigued, moving inexorably through a carefully woven and suspenseful story. The characters are well-drawn, complex, and believable. Their personalities, interactions, and relationships form an integral part of the story. The author cuts from one scene to another, drawing a picture of what is happening with each of the main characters simultaneously, as the suspense builds and the story winds to a climax. This book reminded me much of those by Ken Follett, whose taped editions I have greatly enjoyed. The reader, Sian Thomas, does a marvelous job, using various foreign accents easily without seeming fake or "corny", and helping to build the multiple settings and moods, from a London newspaper room, English countryside, Munich pub, or New York corporate power center.
