ALTHOUGH Kellerman does not really have the gift of the short story, she is always reliable, and this collection seldom fails to entertain and enlighten. Most stories feature Lieutenant Pete Decker’s family in settings horticultural and spiritual, but always criminal. For goyim like me, the Orthodox Judaism at the heart of Kellerman’s work is more fascinating than most of her plots. Holy Water is both food for thought and laugh-out-loud funny (  ) adpaton | Oct 12, 2007 |  LesaHolstine | Jul 19, 2007 | Humorous, macabre, bizarre--this diverse collection of short stories from the ever reliable Faye Kellerman is as the title suggests, delightful. The accomplished narrators whose voices complement the various stories amuse, ensnare, and mesmerize, leaving the listener riveted. In particular, Danielle Ferland's rendition of "Bonding," a story of incest, is fascinating, repulsive, and ultimately hypnotic, while her reading of "Malibu Dog," the story of a pit bull with an abusive owner, manages to combine humor and suspense, leaving the listener grimly satisfied as a swift, ironic justice is dispensed. This fascinating collection of engaging performances will captivate listeners and have them clamoring for more. M.H.N. © kattykathy | Mar 25, 2007 |  no reviews | add a review
