Publisher's summary

On a sweltering July morning in rural Tennessee, 50-year-old Rebecca Reynolds visits the family farm, where she literally stumbles across the mutilated bodies of her parents and younger sister, a sister who had spent life in a wheelchair after a birth fraught with complications.

Rebecca's first thought is to call 911. Her second is to find her estranged sister, Lena, who was disowned by the family years before. Her third is to wonder how long it will be before Lena is arrested for the murder of their family.

As the police gather evidence pointing to Lena, the sisters turn to attorney Brian Stone. Convinced of Lena's innocence, he agrees to take on the case. But in a family ripped apart by dysfunction, is anyone truly innocent?

Fantastic Who-Done-It Mystery

Death of a dysfunctional prominent family reveals the circumstances of the why, who and how it occurred. The storyline was awesome and very well written. Michelle Babb is a narrator I love to listen to her work.

Phenomenal book

Wow! This storyline is creative and intriguing I was on the edge of my seat wondering who was the killer. The twist and turns that are within this plot really got me because I did not see all the angles coming to the forefront. I must admit that the characters in this book are realistic and relatable to everything you read about dysfunctional families. I applaud the author because I did not see that last twist coming. I highly recommend this book for people who love intrigue, drama, murder and mystery. I received this book for free and I am voluntarily leaving my honest review here of my own volition.

The plot thickens

Great story with a twist. Not what it seems and to get away with it.

A New Favorite!

This book has definitely earned a place on my favorites list. A whodunnit with loads of family drama, twists and turns, and the quirks of small town life as well as the weary monotony of living a life "stuck". Murder, greed, grudges, mistrust, and lost time, with so much going on, will the murders actually get solved, or just marked down as a horrific tragedy?

Impressive Storytelling!

This is the first book by Melinda Clayton that I’ve read and I can honestly say I was very impressed. I had a hard time putting it down. The characters were so deep and well developed and I especially enjoyed the first person POV. I usually figure out who committed the crime early on but this one kept me guessing.

Also contributing to heavily to my listening enjoyment was the talented Michelle Babb and her inspired performance. I’ve no idea how she so seamlessly switched between the voices of the characters. Some narrators seem so contrived when going between male and female voices. Michelle makes the transitions sound so natural and conversational.

Summary - great story teller with a narrator that gives life to the characters and puts the listener in the center of the action. I highly recommend this book.

An Awesome Story

This was my first experience with Melinda Clayton's work, and it was entertaining. The story was about one daughter who found the bodies of her murdered mother, father, and sister and another daughter who was accused of the crime. The story was written from alternating points of view between the sisters. The story was convoluted and clever. I will be looking for more stories from this author. Michelle Babb's narration was fine and kept my attention. I was given a free copy of the audiobook, and I have voluntarily posted this review.

A Woman Misunderstood

This was a fascinating look into the lives of all the members of a family.When some of them are found dead, one is blamed.Can they find who did it?Lena is blamed and is waiting to hear her fate from the jury.She isn't sure if she did it or not.She was drugged at the time.It is a twisted tale of love and hate.Michelle Babb is good at the narration.I was provided this book free by the author, narrator or publisher.

Wow! Chilling Very well written Loved it!

This is my first book by Melinda Clayton that I have listened to. I throughly enjoyed it! She is now part of my favorite authors. This is the second book in the Tennessee Delta Series. I have not listened to the first book yet.

One of Melinda Clayton’s strong point is creating beautifully constructed characters with complex relationships amongst them. She is a licensed psychotherapist, and you can clearly see that in this book. The Reynolds are a dysfunctional family, but each one of them felt completely real. Little by little we see how their family dynamics come together. Clayton peels off the different layers of their relationships, ending with a very realistic portrait of a family.

The book is narrated by the wonderful Michelle Babb, one of my favorite new narrators. She gave different nuances to the sisters so that they sound really different to the ear. She is expressive, and transmitted the characters' emotions in a powerful way. The male voices were also very well done, and I can say that Babb's narrations always provide a five star rating.

This was a very good book with well developed characters. It really kept me interested and guessing who actually killed the Reynolds family until the last few chapters, I figured it out. I would recommend it to anyone who likes a well told story, twists and turns with a surprise ending. I would describe this book as chilling, psychotic in a good way, riveting and completely held my interest.

Spectacular Murder Mystery !!!

Extraordinarily well written, the characters are so multidimensional that they essentially leap out from every page. I had to remind myself that, after getting lost in this book for hours, the characters weren't real! I was so immersed in the world of A Woman Misunderstood that I had to force myself to come back to reality and put the book down from time to time. The story line is fantastic and kept me on the edge of my seat at all times. The Narration by Michelle Babb is Impeccable.. Breathing Life and Dimension to the Character's Making a intringing Story Into a Spectacularly gripping, and Spine Tingling Murder Mystery.. Currently suffering from "finishers remorse," but looking forward to more incredible books from this author, and Narrator..

 "I was provided this audio book at no charge by the narrator in exchange for an unbiased review "

The ending was unexpected.

I enjoyed this book more than the first book in the series. A dysfunctional family, murder, relationships. You can read the synopsis in the description so I will not repeat that information.

I always enjoy Michelle Babb's narrations. She has done an excellent job as usual. Each character has a distinctive voice. Michelle is one of my favorite narrators.

I received this book in exchange for my honest review.
