Book #10 in 2012 (Audio)

Murder Unleashed by Rita Mae Brown. Read by Johanna Parker.

7.5 hours.

Quick, interesting mystery. A group of well-meaning women in Reno undertake a project to help some of the squatters residing in abandoned/foreclosed properties. Unknowingly, they interfere in the plans of some scammers hoping to take advantage of the area's troubles.

The first book I've "read" by this author. I enjoyed it very much, almost wishing it was a bit longer. The reader did an admirable job of making each character recognizable, even the dogs. I will look for more by this author/reader combination.

4 stars.
