Book Description

May 31, 2005

When prosecutor Vicki Allegretti arrives at a rowhouse to meet a confidential informant, she finds herself in the wrong place at the wrong time -- and is almost shot to death. She barely escapes with her life, but cannot save the two others gunned down before her disbelieving eyes. Stunned and heartbroken, Vicki tries to figure out how a routine meeting on a minor case became a double homicide.

Vicki's suspicions take her to Devil's Corner, a city neighborhood teetering on the brink of ruin -- thick with broken souls, innocent youth, and a scourge that preys on both. But the deeper Vicki probes, the more she becomes convinced that the murders weren't random and the killers were more ruthless than she thought.

When another murder thrusts Vicki together with an unlikely ally, she buckles up for a wild ride down a dangerous street -- and into the cross-hairs of a conspiracy as powerful as it is relentless.

Performed by Kate Burton

From AudioFile

Scottoline's latest features sassy Prosecutor Vicki Allegretti and her search for her partner's killer and a confidential informant. The book features interesting characters and a formula that makes for easy listening. Barbara Rosenblat gives a typically solid performance, providing each character with a unique personality and sound. In particular, Rosenblat deftly handles the banter between Allegretti and Reheema, a product of Devil's Corner, the West Philadelphia neighborhood where much of the story unfolds. While Rosenblat seems less intense than in past performances, DEVIL'S CORNER is an entertaining listen that won't disappoint Scottoline's fans.

5.0 out of 5 stars SUPER SUSPENSE AND A STRONG VOCAL PERFORMANCE, June 11, 2005
This review is from: Devil's Corner CD (Audio CD)
Already entrenched as one of the most popular authors of legal thrillers, Lisa Scottoline shows no signs of success lag. Her twelfth book, Devil's Corner, is once more headed by spunky, bright heroine, Vicki Allegretti, and peppered with trenchant dialogue.

Vicki's the kind of gal who finds trouble wherever she looks, and determinedly faces it down. She packs a wallop and a gun, sometimes in her left coat pocket "where it could shoot out an ovary." Actress Barbara Rosenblat gives a strong vocal performance as Vicki allies herself with Reheema Bristow to break up a gang dealing in cocaine and death.

Meeting an informant can be standard procedure for Vicki but when she shows up at the appointed time what she confronts is a loaded gun. By dint of determination and a lot of luck she escapes a bullet but two others aren't so fortunate. She's at a loss to understand why and how a routine meet turned into a massacre.

Her investigation takes her to Philadelphia's sleazier neighborhood, one known as Devil's Corner, a haven for no one but dealers and thieves. It's easy to discover who deals; the big question is who's behind the dealers?

A former trial lawyer and Edgar Award winner, Scottoline has delivered another rousing ride through places both low and high with the indefatigable Vicki exceeding the suspense limit at every turn.

4.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Narration, August 25, 2009
By 
Gerald Swimmer "manursing" (Rye, New York United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Devil's Corner CD (Audio CD)
The story is a nice mystery. There are many plot turns and Ms Scottoline has a great sense of humor that makes one laugh when the tension grows. Vicki and Rahema are strong characters. I have to strongly disagree with the prior reviewer. I thought the narrator was superb.

4.0 out of 5 stars Like the narrator!, April 26, 2007
This review is from: Devil's Corner CD (Audio CD)
One reason I chose another Scottoline book was because I like the narrator. She does a superb job with the characters and I will continue to look for her books. Great job.
