Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From AudioFile
Blacklisted writer Howard Fast published about thirty books under the name E.V. Cunningham. As he writes in the forward, he is finally claiming these books as his own, and he's especially proud of Sylvia. The narrator has a wonderful whiskey-soaked voice which is excellent for this mystery novel. He is a little less successful with women's voices than men's. If the dialogue sounds stilted, it's the aging of the writing, not any reflection on Daniels, who has the right voice for the novel. The production values are very high. E.F.
