Publisher Description
Newly promoted detective Jill Smith confronts a traffic circle homicide.
After six months of perfect weather, the people of Berkeley, California, have forgotten how to drive during a thunderstorm. Newly christened homicide detective Jill Smith is on her way home to a chocolate ice cream dinner when she gets caught in a traffic jam at the city’s only roundabout. At the front of the line, she sees the trouble: a flipped-over Cadillac and one dead driver.
The man behind the wheel was one of the city’s leading citizens, a philanthropist in a town that puts charity first. He was coming down Berkeley’s steepest hill when his brakes failed, flipping his car and ending his charity work forever. Two things trouble Jill. First, the car’s brakes had been inspected that afternoon. Second, the driver was nearly blind, and unfit to ever take the wheel. Finding the killer will lead her from Berkeley’s upper echelon all the way into the depths of the community’s underbelly.
Customer Reviews
awful narration
I did enjoy the book- it's an interesting light mystery with good characters and moves along at a fine pace. I also really enjoy the setting of Berkeley and the details describing the city and residents. I could not stand the narrator. It was not so much her voice, but the speed which she reads. She speaks so slowly- It was painful to listen to her. I even initially checked my ipod to make sure the speed had not been changed because it sounds so overly slow. Also, she needs to learn to pronounce streets correctly. Even though I would like to purchase another audiobook by Susan Dunlap, there is no way I would intentionally listen to the annoying voice of Teri Clark Linden again.
