DEADLINE

Callander's lilting British accent is perfectly suited for portraying detective Tessa Vance, as well as her new partner, Steve Hayden, and the other characters involved in this serial murder case. Tessa is struggling with personal problems and is starting work in a new homicide division. Callander easily differentiates Tessa's thoughts from her spoken words, so we're not confused. She also has a good ear for accents, and the vocal range to portray male voices realistically without straining. Reading at a brisk pace, Callander involves us in the motivations of a cunning killer.
