Jan Maxwell’s clear, appealing voice relaxes the listener. Laurie Moran produces a TV series called “Under Suspicion,” which brings witnesses, friends, and family members together to solve cold cases. When she zeroes in on the twenty-year-old murder of a beautiful UCLA student who was found with a shoe missing, danger comes to call. Maxwell differentiates male and female characters slightly and employs nasal or gruff voices to portray older characters. She manages to make each distinct and provides smooth transitions. The premise of the story is smart, and, combined with Maxwell's acting chops, this is sure to be a popular series. A.C.P. © AudioFile 2015, Portland, Maine
