Everett Larkin works for the Cold Case Squad: an elite - if understaffed and overworked - group of detectives who solve the forgotten deaths of New York City. Larkin is different from others, but his deduction skills are unmatched and his memory for minute details is unparalleled.

So when a spring thunderstorm uproots a tree in Madison Square Park, unearthing a crate with human remains inside, the best Cold Case detective is assigned the job. And when a death mask, like those prominent during the Victorian era, is found with the body, Larkin requests assistance from the Forensic Artists Unit and receives it in the form of Detective Ira Doyle, his polar opposite in every way.

Factual reasoning and facial reconstruction put Larkin and Doyle on a trail of old homicide cases and a murderer obsessed with casting his victims’ likeness in death. Include some unapologetic flirting from Doyle, and this case just may end up killing Everett Larkin.

The cold case brought Larkin and Doyle together and yes, the police procedural was well imagined and yes, the case was intriguing and goodness gracious yes, the detailed research to build the world was deep! Yet, it was the character work that captivated. Larkin was melancholy sharpness while Doyle had the equanimity of the gods. Doyle's charm began dulling Larkin's edges, encouraging his shift from a dark headspace to a brighter life loop. As the criminal investigation proceeded, their professional partnership evolved and, with glacial slowness, a personal relationship emerged. MSM was a character study of wounded souls, a powerful message about acceptance and served up with metaphorical prose - a character didn’t just smile but ‘beamed like sunlight’. As did l!

✨️🎧✨️ Kale Williams was particularly phenomenal with three characters. Doyle had a deep, smoky voice that KW magnificently delivered but it was Kale suffusing in empathy that made Doyle’s vocalisation incredible. Noah, a secondary character who verbally lashed out from feeling deeply wounded, was portrayed by William's with a barely contained feral fury and ouch! Then there was was the star of the narration show here: Larkin. A less skilled narrator could have made Larkin sound robotic but KW made his monotone vulnerable by imbuing a vibrato (especially when Larkin gets agitated) and pitched his voice at a higher, sharper register. Larkin had incessant thoughts but the narrator's artistry ensured the inner monologues resonated or fascinated. Kale Williams had A+ material to narrate and yes, he brought his 'A+' game!!
