THE DEVIL'S BONES

Tom McKeon's slow, deep voice is perfect for the character of Dr. Bill Brockton, a forensic anthropologist who runs a body farm in Cooke County, Tennessee. Brockton is known for his thoughtful scientific approach and depth of experience--that is, until he takes the radical step of burning a corpse to better understand the murder of a woman whose body shows evidence of being charred. McKeon depicts Brockton's anger at being caught and confronted and also portrays his feelings when he learns that the murderer of his former colleague and love interest, Jess Carter, has escaped from prison. As the plot takes listeners through Brockton's investigations and personal struggles, McKeon's voice aptly portrays his shifting moods. S.W. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine [Published: JUNE 2008]
