The Good Friday Murder (Christine Bennett Mysteries)
"... Forty years ago, idiot savant twins were charged with the fatal stabbing of their mother on Good Friday, 1950 ...  Through clever and painstaking research ... former nun [Christine Bennett] is able to clear the twins but exposes herself to serious danger as a result.  She also experiences her first romantic encounter and begins to settle into a very different life than that of the cloister."Roberts Seto presents a brisk and pleasing semi-voiced narration of a mystery story with an unusual twist.  She is especially adept at handling the accents and age differences of various female characters.  --Pat Dole, KLIATT AUDIOBOOK REVIEWS, 7/99"... It's a terrific mystery, with strong characters and an original plot ... performed beautifully by the vocally talented Judith Seto.  She moves easily from quiet and competent ex-nun Chris Bennett to the gruff but charming Jack, from a Polish baby-sitter to the coarse Irish cop who covered the murder (and covered up vital evidence) and a sweet little old Jewish lady ...  They're all richly brought to life by Judith Seto.  I can't wait for the next one!"  --Dave Kirby, "Book Bit," WTBF-AM/FM."... Lee Harris's The Good Friday Murder is a superb and engaging detective story that will be greatly appreciated by fans of the genre.  Ably narrated by Judith Roberts Seto."  --James A. Cox, The Midwest Book Review, 5/99"A Character Whodunit that Keeps You Guessing to the End.  ... Former nun/college English teacher Christine Bennett discovers that she has a penchant for creative snooping into a decades old murder when the story of idiot savant twins who were convicted of murdering their mother is called into question.... Actor Judith Roberts Seto narrates the story, adding dramatic flare ... and fresh, convincing characterization to an assortment of diverse personalities from urban Brooklyn and suburban Westchester, NY."  --Gil Hershey, Word Trade, 9/99"A lot of people ask me when I hear new projects, why don't I make a big deal about it ... I am about this one!  I listened to an abridgement of Lee Harris's THE GOOD FRIDAY MURDER (Scheherazade AudioVisions).  If you are wondering why they don't release good mysteries on audio, listen to Judith Roberts Seto's vocal shading of this project.  Ms. Seto moves between characters with ease, making this sound almost like a motion picture in your mind.  The amazing thing about this audio abridgement is it holds up against the novel itself.  Pat Ms. Seto on the back and hope she records the rest of the series-this one is worth remembering when you go to the book stores."   --Bennet Pomerantz, AUDIOWORLD, 7/99"Long on common sense, humor and humanity" --The Criminal Record, "Out of the Habit""This is the first of a new series of Christine Bennett mysteries, and Ms. Harris has created a likable and interesting character who undergoes a gentle metamorphosis during the course of the book.  Her religious background is evidenced in her orderly and Spartan lifestyle, her innate kindness, and the perseverance she displays in tracking down clues and witnesses."However, a new secular Christine is emerging who overcomes her shyness in order to interview witnesses and socialize with neighbors. And an incipient romance with Jack Brooks, the police sergeant helping her investigation, helps complete her transformation into a modern, independent woman." --Mostly Murder, "The Spying Nun"--This text refers to theAudio Cassetteedition.
