About this listen
When Samantha True witnesses Wind River's most popular principal keel over dead she knows three things.
He's been murdered.
Proving it will be impossible.
They're gonna think she did it.
As she works to clear her name, Samantha learns "Principal Josh" is the king of slime balls. Eliminating suspects proves tricky when half the town has a motive for murder.
It'll take the right private investigator to crack this killer's best laid plans.
Warning: May cause spontaneous laughter. This mystery offers witty banter, characters you'll want to be friends with, and is a perfect escape to the Pacific Northwest. Laughing out loud in public may cause curious glances from strangers.

Story
Three reasons I’m getting in a car with a stranger by Josie Woodmere: My piece-of-crap car is on fire on the side of the highway, the guy in the truck doesn’t look like a murderer...in fact, he’s hot, and even if he tries something, I’m confident I could take him. The hottie in the truck, Brinn McRae, turns out to be straitlaced and so not my type. Plus, I’m not looking for romance. I have to find a job and my estranged brother. I don’t know if he’s man I want, but I’m positive I’m the girl he needs.

The New Stephanie Plum
I have been a Stephanie Plum fan forever, even when it got cheesy and predictable. This series is similar, but smarter! The characters really come to life and it’s all very relatable. Can’t wait for the next one! Also- this reader is awesome!

Superficiality at its worst
The problem is with the main character. She is s-o superficial and ignorant it borders on stupidity. 2 minutes in the principal's office and it was clear the man had a medical issue. Did she stop and call for help? Nope. She continued on her rant. The woman called for help only when it was too late. She was supposed to be a private investigator now. She was supposed to be more observant. She was supposed to be smart. Not only that but her overall superficial attitude and way of thinking makes a sham of the ideea of her being a sloth. Basically the story could have been great, but the main character is crap.
