From award-winning author Pamela Samuels Young, author of Anybody's Daughter! Featured in the anthology The Funeral, this fast-paced short story wastes no time pulling the reader into a fascinating whodunit. When a prominent L.A. lawyer is found dead in his office, the detectives assigned to solve the crime search high and low for clues. What they discover at the lawyer's funeral may well lead them to his killer. But will the murderer turn out to be among the usual suspects?

Which character – as performed by R.C. Bray – was your favorite?

I enjoyed the 2 female detectives. Their differences were conveyed well in the narrations. Also Mr. Bray made this short story even more interesting with his narration.

Any additional comments?

Unlawful Greed: A Short Story is a short (less than 1 hour) story of a murder. In this story we meet 3 suspects who all have 'reason to murder' the victim. Thru clever detective work, the killer is apprehended.

As mentioned above this is a very short story. I thought the plot moved well and the ending was good, not contrived or coming out of left field. Mr. Bray has a great voice for mysteries and I can't wait to listen to another book read by him.

A quick mystery ...

Narrator R.C. Bray, as usual, is excellent. My first book by Pamela Samuels Young will not be my last. I wanted to get a grasp on Young's writing and for a couple of dollars, it was well worth the 50-minute listen. Highly recommended.

Let's get this out of the way first... This is a Short Story! Only about 5o min. and change on audio. If you're gonna buy the book, please don't give it a negative review because it's short!
I enjoyed this Pamela Samuels Young story and the surprise ending... and if you're a RC Bray fan (like me) this is a perfect nugget for a short commute...

This was a very short story but it was enjoyable. The author Pamela Samuels Young did a great job with this story. I've never read/listened to any of this author's stories before, until now but it was a well written short story. The story is basically about an upstanding L.A. lawyer who's found dead in his office. He's been married one to many times, also has been taking care of his son who's plenty old enough to take care of himself, and his partner in the law firm find themselves as suspects. But when it comes to money and love you sometimes end up crushing yourself. Its a fast paced story with not many clues. Do the two female detectives find the killer?

The narrator R.C. Bray did a fantastic job with holding my attention. R.C. kept the story flowing very nice. The narrator did a really good job with distinguishing the accents of each character. This isn't my normal genre but even so, I thought it to be well written and the performance of the narrator was enjoyable. I will definitely check out other stories that both the author has written and the narrator has done. If you're looking for a fast paced murder mystery then look no further because this one is it. I received this audio in exchange for an honest review.

Greed is tough to swallow...

We are never satisfied with what we have. When that happens Karma always slaps us back to reality. Don’t use a credit, isn’t long enough, but do buy it. You will really have a good listen. (Smile)

I enjoyed this short mystery, even though the killer was fairly easy to guess. The last line was excellent, given the manner of the murder!!

Good short story
