About this listen

A phone call prompts Bill Lammiter, a young American playwright, to follow a former girlfriend to Rome. There, Lammiter saves a mysterious Italian girl from a beating and the fat is in the fire. A kidnapping, a battle in a Renaissance villa, a shrewd gamekeeper, a chance snapshot and a touring preppy contribute to the excitement and suspense of this Cold War thriller.

One of the worst readers I have heard so far. His intonation gave the story an almost melodramatic touch when he wasn’t monotone. Reasonable story (not one of her best) ruined.

Not so good
