Unleashed

Clancy Lang has had a hard life, and Todd McLaren reflects that in his narration. Clancy is left to care for her young stepbrother, Tad, after his abusive brother is sent to prison. Clancy's boss is Colter Banks, a Texas Ranger who works cold cases including, unbeknownst to him, the disappearance of Clancy's grandfather. McLaren gives Colter a deliberate voice sounds appropriate for a Texas lawman. Tad's light and youthful voice reflects his hopeful outlook. The one detraction is the occasionally slow pacing of McLaren's delivery. But listeners will be pulling for Clancy, especially in view of her difficult past. S.B. � AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine
