Resumen del Editor

Shannon Baker delivers a gripping new thriller set in the desert Southwest. When Nora Abbott’s husband is found dead, she must clear her name while uncovering a murderous secret - a contemporary Western thriller for fans of C.J. Box and Anne Hillerman.

In the remote mountains of Arizona, Native American history is being torn apart by corporate greed and corruption. Nora Abbott is caught in the middle, struggling to keep her small business alive.

But when Nora’s womanizing husband is murdered in cold blood, local law enforcement suspect that she killed him. As allies become enemies and friends become suspects, Nora takes it upon herself to find who killed her husband - and why.

But in this unforgiving terrain, the price of truth may be too steep.

Height of Deception is perfect for fans of Faith Martin, Mary Burton, Lisa Regan, the Jeff Carson David Wolf series, Stuart Woods, the Janet Evanovich Stephanie Plum series, Anne Hillerman Navajo mysteries, Rich Curtin, BJ Bourg, Lisa Gray, JA Jance, Nick Drake books, Nick Petrie Peter Ash novels, and Craig Johnson's Walt Longmire mystery series.

Annoying narrator

Didn’t care for the narrator. She didn’t pronounce t’s and d’s. Story hard to follow. Listening to 2nd book in series and it is much better.

Riveting

Loved the plot and storyline. Wish the ending was a little different. Overall 5 out of 5

D and T-glottalization

Narrator had an annoying habit of not pronouncing T and D sounds. Story needed dragged on.

Hard to follow

Although I’m a big Kate Fox fan, I did not care for this character. I thought the story was hard to follow and left unanswered questions.

Narration was TERRIBLE

Narration was so bad I almost returned this one! Also needed some editing-an hour before the end age read “he put his chin on his forehead”, not sure how one would do that.

Reader needs a speech therapist

The story was alright but predictable, characters were interesting. I would have hoped that there is someone who listens to the audio before it is published. There was a few mispronounced words which I can ignore, but the most annoying was the reader did not pronounce the "d" in couldn't, wouldn't, didn't, or any similar contraction. I know this is a small issue, but after a while, it was like water torture.

Height of deception 

I think that the story was dragged out an Nora was per traded as defiant and single minded. I like the story line of the Indians but was disappointed in it

Great storyline!

Narration was very clear however dropping the D’s in the word pronunciations was very annoying after a while.

Good

A good plot about Nora, what she wanted to achieve and the obstacles and people who didn’t. Good research done on the Hopi.culture.
Given audio for my voluntary review and found the narration added to the story, well done.

Boring

Boring and dumb. Should have been on the free list. Narrator was horrible. Wont read the rest of series.
