From AudioFile:
Smooth tones and a clear presentation are precisely what listeners have come to expect from narrator Cassandra Campbell. Here she gives strong character definition as well as appropriate pacing and intensity to this sprawling, loosely organized story. After losing her job, Megan Reynolds returns to San Diego, only to find that her gay brother, a flight attendant, has disappeared, along with a suspicious Middle Eastern man, in the wake of a terrorist bombing. The international action combined with family drama presents Campbell with challenges of accent, tempo, and emphasis, which she manages convincingly. While her performance cannot completely salvage a weak text, her clarity provides a satisfying listening experience. M.O.B. © AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine
