In the Cut, Susanna Moore's erotic thriller, is a stunning audio presentation, at once frightening and enthralling and definitely not for the kids. The cool, stylish protagonist is a woman living alone in Greenwich Village, who teaches writing while researching New York street slang. She likes to push limits, take risks, and surrender to sensuality without a glimmer of sentimentality. A gruesome murder in her neighborhood, one of a series, leads her into a graphically described sexual liaison with one of the investigating cops, but she's never sure whether this secures or shatters her safety, and you're never sure what she really wants. Kathryn Walker gives a masterful performance, hot and cold, brazen and scared, in control and wildly careening over the edge.
