About this listen

The new novel from award-winning author Lisa Sandlin catches up with the almost-murdered secretary Delpha Wade (The Do-Right, 2015, set in 1973) as she's released from a hospital in order to be tucked into the back seat of a police cruiser. Her boss, PI Tom Phelan, sets out to spring her. He needs her back in his investigation business, where he'll soon be chasing a skulking grand larcenist and plotting how to keep a ganjapreneur out of the grabby hands of a brand new agency, the DEA. Delpha digs through old records and knocks on strange doors to unravel the dangerous case of two brothers with beaucoup aliases - verifying that sometimes truth is not true, but murder is always murder.

A Good Story But Names Mispronounced

My only complaint was with the reader of this book. I lived in Beaumont, Texas, for many years and even married a man with a Cajun heritage, so it bothered me to hear names mispronounced. If someone is going to read a book aloud, they need to perform the names correctly, especially when the story revolves around an area like Beaumont where "coon asses" (a real term, believe me) are prevalent. Most of the local names mentioned in the book were either French or Italian or a combination, but were mispronounced. I'm really sorry, but it bothered me.

Delightful, Mystery

One needs to read The Do Right
also by Sandlin first, but that is also delightful. Well-crafted plot and well-developed characters!
