About this listen
On a sweltering July morning in rural Tennessee, 50-year-old Rebecca Reynolds visits the family farm, where she literally stumbles across the mutilated bodies of her parents and younger sister, a sister who had spent life in a wheelchair after a birth fraught with complications.
Rebecca's first thought is to call 911. Her second is to find her estranged sister, Lena, who was disowned by the family years before. Her third is to wonder how long it will be before Lena is arrested for the murder of their family.
As the police gather evidence pointing to Lena, the sisters turn to attorney Brian Stone. Convinced of Lena's innocence, he agrees to take on the case. But in a family ripped apart by dysfunction, is anyone truly innocent?

While her older sister, Laci - a mute, musically gifted savant - is constantly watched over and protected, Wallis Ann is as practical and sturdy as her name. When the Tuckasegee River bursts its banks, forcing them to flee in the middle of the night, those qualities save her life. But though her family is eventually reunited, the tragedy opens Wallis Ann's eyes to a world beyond the creek that's borne their name for generations.

What’s happening in Acker’s Gap, West Virginia? Three elderly men are gunned down over their coffee at a local diner, and seemingly half the town is there to witness the act. Still, it happened so fast, and no one seems to have gotten a good look at the shooter. Was it random? Was it connected to the spate of drug violence plaguing poor areas of the country just like Acker’s Gap? Or were Dean Streeter, Shorty McClurg, and Lee Rader targeted somehow?

When a body is discovered in a local marsh, Tess is entangled in a search for the truth....

Story
Alan Gregory is a clinical psychologist with a thriving practice in Boulder, Colorado. His life begins to unravel when one of his female patients is found in an apparent suicide and the local paper begins printing accusations from an unnamed source of sexual impropriety between the woman and Dr. Gregory. He launches a psychological and personal quest for the truth that rapidly intensifies when more of his patients die untimely deaths, and Gregory suspects not only that the deaths are related but that another one of his patients may be somehow involved. Lacking facts but roused by suspicion and troubled by seemingly random acts of terror around him, Gregory starts to fear for the safety of the people he loves. The question of the inviolability of confidential disclosures made to Gregory by his patients - privileged information - becomes crucial as the psychologist pursues an unsettling romance with Lauren Crowder, a lovely deputy district attorney investigating one of the deaths. Bound to silence, Gregory follows the psychological tracks of someone he fears may be a cunning and disturbed killer, while turning to his enigmatic but supportive partner, Diane Estevez, for counsel, and to his tart-tongued female urologist neighbor for support. The sinister, surprising drama unfolds against Boulder's Rocky Mountain backdrop, in the arresting natural beauty of Aspen, and in the midst of a baroque Halloween costume party in downtown Boulder. Finally, in a lonely mountain lodge enshrouded in menace, the story comes to its breathtaking climax.

She also has a weekly beauty-parlor date to keep her long, nappy hair slick and straight. But the tedious hours and harsh chemicals in the salon have long grated on Venus. One frustrating day, she trades in the long hair for a dramatically short, natural cut and sends her commitment-balking boyfriend packing. It's a bold declaration of independence and one that has effects she never could have imagined.

Fantastic Who-Done-It Mystery
Death of a dysfunctional prominent family reveals the circumstances of the why, who and how it occurred. The storyline was awesome and very well written. Michelle Babb is a narrator I love to listen to her work.

Phenomenal book
Wow! This storyline is creative and intriguing I was on the edge of my seat wondering who was the killer. The twist and turns that are within this plot really got me because I did not see all the angles coming to the forefront. I must admit that the characters in this book are realistic and relatable to everything you read about dysfunctional families. I applaud the author because I did not see that last twist coming. I highly recommend this book for people who love intrigue, drama, murder and mystery. I received this book for free and I am voluntarily leaving my honest review here of my own volition.

A New Favorite!
This book has definitely earned a place on my favorites list. A whodunnit with loads of family drama, twists and turns, and the quirks of small town life as well as the weary monotony of living a life "stuck". Murder, greed, grudges, mistrust, and lost time, with so much going on, will the murders actually get solved, or just marked down as a horrific tragedy?

Impressive Storytelling!
This is the first book by Melinda Clayton that I’ve read and I can honestly say I was very impressed. I had a hard time putting it down. The characters were so deep and well developed and I especially enjoyed the first person POV. I usually figure out who committed the crime early on but this one kept me guessing.
Also contributing to heavily to my listening enjoyment was the talented Michelle Babb and her inspired performance. I’ve no idea how she so seamlessly switched between the voices of the characters. Some narrators seem so contrived when going between male and female voices. Michelle makes the transitions sound so natural and conversational.
Summary - great story teller with a narrator that gives life to the characters and puts the listener in the center of the action. I highly recommend this book.

An Awesome Story
This was my first experience with Melinda Clayton's work, and it was entertaining. The story was about one daughter who found the bodies of her murdered mother, father, and sister and another daughter who was accused of the crime. The story was written from alternating points of view between the sisters. The story was convoluted and clever. I will be looking for more stories from this author. Michelle Babb's narration was fine and kept my attention. I was given a free copy of the audiobook, and I have voluntarily posted this review.

Watch out for the ending!
A Woman Misunderstood by Melinda Clayton is second in her Tennessee Delta Series. This book can be read as a stand-alone although there are some references to prior happenings that may be further clarified by reading the first book of the series, Blessed are the Wholly Broken. Rebecca comes for a visit to her family home and finds her parents and a disabled sister dead...hacked to death. Not surprisingly the black sheep sister of the family, Lena, is accused and soon to be defended by Brian Stone. The author keeps her readers' interest with lots of twists and turns in the plot and good character development. And whoa, I did not see the ending coming! Michelle Babb does a remarkable job of narrating the audiobook, telling the story well and bringing the characters to life. I received a complimentary copy of this audiobook and was not required to give a positive review. The opinions are my own.

Well worth a listn
Would you consider the audio edition of A Woman Misunderstood to be better than the print version?
For me, the audio version is often better than the print version, and A Woman Misunderstood is no exception. Michelle Babb always does an excellent job of bringing the characters to life, making for a truly enjoyable listen.
What about Michelle Babb’s performance did you like?
I can't say that there's anything about her performance that I DIDN'T like! She's a wonderful narrator that portrays the characters with depth and their own voice.
Any additional comments?
I enjoyed the book very much, so now I need to listen to the first book in the series!
