FEBRUARY 2012 - AudioFile
Sixteen golden statues of a dancing priest are shipped to a New York City museum, but only one of them is real, and plenty of questionable characters dash around in an attempt to get their hands on the authentic booty. Narrator Brian Holsopple delivers the narrative with tongue-in-cheek flair and portrays the wacky cast of characters in this comic mystery with exuberance. Con man Jerry Manelli is endearing in his fumbling search for the treasure, and perhaps even for romance. Holsopple gives amusing vigor to the crooks and thugs, and instills a touch of credence in the ordinary people who become tangled in a madcap chase around New York.
