Die-hard Clark fans will welcome her latest thriller, which builds a plot of murder and mystery around the disappearance and rediscovery of a letter written by Jesus Christ to Joseph of Arimathea. Other listeners may find the characters shallow, the resolution obvious, and the exposition overly dependent on characters' internal thought processes. VERDICT Broadway actress Jan Maxwell's reading is adequate but not memorable enough to rescue this program. Purchase if demand warrants.
