Publisher's summary

In this sequel to Steven Havill's Scavengers, Estelle Reyes-Guzman plunges into her new job as undersheriff of Posadas County and the action never stops. As Bill Gastner, recently retired sheriff, lurks diplomatically in the background, Estelle must deal with the disappearance of a local insurance broker who was about to be indicted for fraud. A far worse challenge comes when one of her officers, on a wild chase through town, causes the death of a young single mother in a motorcycle crash. And if that wasn't enough, now there is a dead body. It looks like suicide...or does it?

Good story ruined by a bad reader

Surely Books in Motion could have found a decent reader for the Estelle entries in this series! Their lack of diligence is insulting to both author and fans.

I have notes for Ms. Brush:

1. The main character is Hispanic - not some mobster's galpal.

2. Screeching is not a good way to distinguish between characters' voices.

3. When the author says a character chuckles or exhales or gasps, you don't need to do it in my ear.

4. Listen to some Spanish before you speak it.

Potential purchaser: the book itself is worth reading - but i suggest you buy the ebook and let your ereader's text-to-speech function read it to you.
