Borrower of the Night

Barbara Rosenblatt, an AUDIOFILE Golden Voice, portrays youthful Vicky Bliss, an art historian and expert in lost museum treasures. Vicky becomes involved in adventure and suspense when she and a male colleague travel to a medieval castle in Germany to find a missing work of art made by a sixteenth-century master carver. Rosenblat's adept pacing renders the tense atmosphere when Vicky has to decide whether she faces a powerful ghost, or someone frighteningly real--someone as determined to kill as she is to find the treasure. With subtle vocal tones and textured characterization, Rosenblat achieves a memorable performance. G.D.W. (c) AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine
