The Front is a sequel to Patricia Cornwell's book, At Risk. These books are about totally different characters from those in her Scarpetta books. If you liked At Risk, you will most likely enjoy this one, too. The characters are well-developed, and their interaction is well-written. Kate Reading does an excellent job reading the book for this audio version. I enjoyed both books but thought this one was slightly better than the first one in the series. It will be interesting to see if Cornwell continues this series.

Patricia Cornwall, who brought us the indomitable Kay Scarpetta has brought an even more interesting cast of characters. They were first introduced to us in _At_Risk_. We learn a little more about them in _The_Front_, and go for a thrilling and convoluted mystery adventure. The only drawback for me was the reader, Kate Reading. She has a great many different voice at her disposal, and does a great job, in general, of making the story more like a play. However, she chose a strange voice for our main character, and it was also too close to the narrator, causing a bit of confusing sometimes about what our character, Win, was thinking versus what was actually happening.
