MAY 2013 - AudioFile

Lawrence returns to the Wild West for Pinkerton’s second adventure. In spite of several foibles and eccentricities, newly orphaned 12-year-old PK has opened a detective agency, confident that clients will soon be clamoring for their cases to be solved. But there’s also a thorn in her side: People are confounding and impossible to read. Today, we call it Asperger’s, but back in the Wild West it had no name. T. Sands narrates PK’s story with a precise delivery that includes meticulous attention to punctuation, vocabulary, and detail. Sands draws in the listener, maintaining a careful balance between PK’s dedication to solving her case and her offbeat comic relief. Listeners will admire PK’s confidence and spunk even as they chuckle at the obvious missed clues. N.E.M. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2013, Portland, Maine
