From AudioFile
Narrator Thorne brings authority and good humor to a snappy set of intriguing true-detective cases, from the Lindbergh kidnapping to a presumably poisoned pig. Like potato chips, it's hard to stop with just one of these nonfiction, believe-it-or-not-style puzzles. M.C. © AudioFile 2000, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
