About this listen

Barbara Holloway is a low-key attorney in Eugene, Oregon, who left her father’s high-powered firm to handle small legal problems for local residents and ponder her next move. But while trying to sort out her own future, two people, desperate for help, show up on her doorstep: former pro football player Martin Owens and his wife, Binnie. Binnie, who is mute, met her husband when she sneaked aboard his boat while it was docked in Haiti and smuggled herself into the US. Now Immigration is seeking to deport her back to Haiti, which would be a death sentence. Born to a woman from Belize who was kidnapped and enslaved by pirates, Binnie’s only hope is to prove her and her mother’s real identity. With only days to find the truth and protect Binnie, Holloway sets off for Belize. But what she knows is only the tip of the iceberg in what turns out to be one of her most complex, compelling, and dangerous cases yet.

From start up to finish, this book was interesting and unpredictable.
Narration was perfect- Carrington is amazing, painting a picture of the story as she tells it. Thank you.

My favorite of all of the Barbara Hollaway stories

this book apparently should be preceeded by Death Qualified since it picks up Barbara's story then. logically, it is out of order since it explains why she has the unique relationship with Vinny and Martin.

Story and plot were easy to follow. Is there a reason why most every book has a David in the story?

This is a bit older Kate Wilhelm book, but still keeps it's enjoyment. Her writing is always entertaining and I enjoy going back and listening to them.

Good easy listening
