THE MIMICKING OF KNOWN SUCCESSES

Lindsey Dorcus narrates a sci-fi mystery loosely inspired by the Sherlock Holmes mythos. After a man goes missing on a distant outpost of Jupiter, Investigator Mossa must work with her former lover, Pleiti, to figure out what happened. While Dorcus portrays Mossa with a brisk, no-nonsense tone that fits both her personality and her role as an investigator, this should not imply that her performance is flat or lacking in emotion. Mossa is simply straightforward and to the point. Scholar Pleiti is the perfect foil to Mossa. All her emotions are on display, but rather than being tiresome or over-the-top, Dorcus's performance is invigorating and keeps the plot moving briskly along.
