Before his career as a novelist, Condon served in the US Merchant Marines and later became a Hollywood publicist, agent, and advertising writer. In addition to Winter Kills, Condon's best-selling works include The Manchurian Candidate and the Prizzi series, dealing with the life of a crime family in New York.

A fun way to listen to a classic novel.

What about Geoff Williams’s performance did you like?

I enjoyed listening to Geoff's performance. His voice is very soothing,

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I like to listen to audiobooks in the car in short spurts.

Raises the audio experience to another level

What did you love best about Winter Kills?

The tone that's struck in the performance seems perfectly in tune with Condon's offhanded sort of off-center way with a story.

Who was your favorite character and why?

My favorite character was Cerruti. He's a slavish soldier type with a Peter Lorre kind of creepiness. I especially enjoyed his description of his filing system. I could hear a dash of Dr. Strangelove.

Which character – as performed by Geoff Williams – was your favorite?

One of the reasons I like this audiobook is the parade of voices, which makes this production kind of unique, using a cast of actors rather than burdening the main narrator with having to perform each and every character. It adds some depth, and I think it's a good approach for a book with so many characters. I especially liked his touch as the narrator, executing the nuances that are so much a signature of the author.

Any additional comments?

This is a very entertaining production. The story, being a Condon treatment of a presidential assassination, is especially intriguing. I think the author's storytelling style is brought to life beautifully.
