FALLS THE SHADOW

Attorney Victor Carl and his partner, Beth, are handling an appeal for a convicted murderer and a pro bono case involving the welfare of a child. Enter "Bob the dentist," who seems to be tied to both cases, sometimes carrying his good works to dangerous extremes. Jason Collins is masterful in all aspects of his performance. Each voice is perfectly matched to the character, whether male or female, old or young. Carl's sarcasm and wry humor at the outset change subtly as he develops into a more sympathetic character, and the range of emotions of all the characters presents no hurdle for Collins. There is something so magnetic about his delivery that listeners will be drawn in. S.S.R. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine [Published: FEB/ MAR 06]
