THE MEMORY COLLECTOR

Forensic psychiatrist Jo Beckett must locate a high-level security officer who is infected with a brain-eating biological contaminant that results in amnesia. Unable to maintain short-term memory beyond five minutes, the security consultant, Ian Kanan, hunts for the people responsible for his condition. As Beckett closes in on Kanan, she discovers that some unsavory people are after him too and there's something bigger than amnesia at stake. Susan Ericksen delivers a suspenseful performance with a sexy edge. Her vocal inflections rise and fall to indicate suspense, and to differentiate male or female characters. Ericksen shows admirable skill in the accurate delivery of accents: South African, Indian, Latin American, and American regional and ethnic dialects. Her throaty vocal range presents a compelling story. A.L.B. © AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine [Published: JUNE 2009]
