OVER HER DEAD BODY. Kate White. 2005. Read by Julia Gibson. 10 tapes, 13.5 hrs. Recorded Books. 1-4193-5481-6. $94.95. Vinyl; plot, reader notes. SA

Journalist Bailey Weggins is now the celebrity crime writer for Buzz magazine. Her friend Robbie had recommended her for the job with

the caveat that their boss Mona could be downright cruel. So it isn't a complete surprise when Bailey enters the office after hours and discovers Mona and the cleaning lady both suffering head wounds. Mona never wakes up. The new editor asks Bailey to cover the story for Buzz. After all, Mona was a celebrity. As Bailey digs into Mona's life, she discovers that nearly everyone at Buzz had both motive and opportunity to off Mona and that is only the beginning. When more people start dying, Bailey realizes she has to act fast before she's next.

Gibson's reading is rife with tension. Though her voice is softer than Bailey's character implies, she has no problem infusing it with dry humor and clear intelligence. Gibson also imbues the secondary character with appropriate voices, making for easy visuals. Compelling listening; recommended for mystery collections. Jodi L. Israel, MLS, Jamaica Plain, MA
