From AudioFile:

This is an age of scandalous couples becoming icons. In THE GIRL WHO RAN OFF WITH DADDY, men's movement author Thor Gibbs runs off with his 18-year-old stepdaughter. Listeners will enjoy the voyeuristic thrill of forbidden love and the mystery of how Thor's body ends up in a pond on ghostwriter Stewart Hoag's farm. Gene Corbin's energetic performance presents us with believable portrayals of each of the five main characters, but his talent truly shines as Hoag's narrative voice. Corbin takes listeners on a journey into Hoag's anguished thoughts as he faces the death of his mentor. Handler's commentary on modern love and jealousy is played nicely against truly humorous moments. R.A.P. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
