UNKNOWN MEANS

Why has a Cleveland socialite been strangled, raped, and taped into a chair? With no possible entrance or escape route for the killer, how exactly was she killed? When forensic specialist Evelyn James is called to the crime scene, listeners are immediately pulled into the suspense. The case becomes personal when Evelyn's best friend is threatened. With a perfect amount of vocal tension, Bernadette Dunne conveys both the worry and increased sense of urgency surrounding the case. Author Elizabeth Becka, a working forensic scientist, keeps the forensic details of her second novel both interesting and believable. Although Dunne's Mexican accent sounds Russian, that is her only flaw. Her consistent performance keeps the dialogue as realistic as the evidence processing.
