Blood Orchid

De: Stuart Woods

Narrado por: Cassandra Campbell

Blood Orchid is the third adventure of one of Stuart Woods' most engaging characters, Chief of Police Holly Barker. This time out, Holly is trying to get her life back together after the shattering loss of her fiancé. With the help of her wily Doberman, Daisy, and her father, Ham, she throws herself back into the job with a vengeance.

At a local restaurant, Holly and Ham meet a gentleman new to the area, rich and dapper developer Ed Shine, who has found an evocative name for both his favorite flower and his latest real-estate venture: the "Blood Orchid".

But before Holly can settle into her routine again, bullets crash into the home of a friend, and a floater is found bobbing in the Intercoastal Waterway. Holly connects these events to the deaths by sniper fire of two Miami businessmen and a man evading questions at a federal agency - but she can't imagine how these violent occurrences could be related to her own quiet, unspoiled town of Orchid Beach. Joining forces with a handsome FBI agent, she tracks the clues straight to their source only to find a scam more lucrative and more dangerous than any this idyllic town - or Holly - has ever seen.

Loved the readers voice with all the different characters and the dog, Daisy, is spectacular

Great story

I am really enjoying these Holly Barker books. As a retired 36 year veteran police officer it is fun to hear these stories. And fortunately Stuart Woods knows proper police lingo to incorporate in his books. I also love Cassandra Campbell’s story telling of them. Great job!

Great

When is the next one in the series. Like it better than Stone Barrington series.

BLOOD ORCHID

the reader is wonderful, with an amazing renge of voices.

Typical Stuart Woods, with action, humor and interesting settings. A light, easy listen. Holly is a great lead character.

I enjoy these stories and how they continue with the same basic characters. They have enough variety to keep you wondering, you will smile, laugh out loud, and be quite entertained.

Holly Barker brilliant

I always enjoy the earlier Holly Barker books. Her books are always so enjoyable and entertaining.

Holly Barker at her best!

Loved the adventure. Totally in love with Daisy. I hope there is more of Ham and Ginny in the next book. Thanks so much Stuart Wood. I am thoroughly enjoying the Holly Barker series.
