CLAY AND BONES:  MY LIFE AS AN FBI FORENSIC ARTIST, written by Lisa Bailey and read by Christina Delaine

Christina Delaine reads the audio of CLAY AND BONES: MY LIFE AS AN FBI FORENSIC ARTIST with an engaging conversational tone that immediately turns listeners into active participants in Lisa Bailey’s memoir of the first female FBI forensic sculptor. At one minute Delaine urges one to fetch a drink preparing for an upcoming story, at another she’s got her tongue embedded in cheek when satirically recounting hostile bullying by a male employer. The range of the material is broad and Delaine complements each scenario with apt interpretation: marvel at the near-magical path Bailey follows finding her career, neutrality describing the many clues that skulls offer for facial approximation, horrified irony at how manipulations might rob her of work she loves. Delaine embraces all with a passion that compels whether the subject is satisfying scientific-artistic breakthroughs, discrimination, hypocrisy, or justice.
