About this listen

Laurence Fife was a slick divorce lawyer and slippery ladies' man. Until someone killed him. The jury believed that it was his pretty young wife Nikki, so they sent her to prison for eight years. Now, Nikki's out on parole and Kinsey Millhone's in for trouble. Nikki hires Kinsey to discover who really killed her husband. But the trail is eight years cold, and at the end is a chilling twist even Kinsey doesn't suspect, a second eight-year-old murder and a brand new corpse.Don't miss the other titles in the Kinsey Millhone Alphabet Mystery Series.©1982 Sue Grifton (P)1997 Random House, Inc.

I’ve learned one thing listening to audible. That is that the best narrators do not try to fake the voice of the opposite sex. Instead they rely on subtle cues to get the point across. This narrator would be wise to that.

Male voices were awful.

TOO SHORT

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
