THESE MORTAL REMAINS

Sheriff Beauregard "Bo" Handel of East Texas is the down-home hero of this audio mystery. James Jenner narrates with an honest tone, adding folksiness to the humor between the hard-hitting scenes. He uses a gravelly tone with perfect pacing for Bo's dialogue and thoughts. Bo's a guy who firmly believes he's doing the job the voters elected him to do. As newcomer Dr. Afton Spencer builds a white supremacist compound, the crime rate rises--a black deputy is shot, and a young woman disappears. Bo's policing style is challenged when a multiagency task force is brought in to help. Family drama with his son and a new love interest add dimension to Bo's character.
