Murders in the Cascades

De: Vicki Shelton

Narrado por: Fiona Mitchell

During a lucid moment, an Alzheimer’s patient tells amateur sleuth BIodina d’Angelo that 40 years ago he killed his lumberyard partner in the Cascades of Washington state. Biodina begins searching historical records, and a clever fraud scheme is uncovered, along with news articles about a missing lumberyard owner. Along the way, her intuitive nature and nosiness helps her uncover another murder of a well-respected record producer.

An early effort that has its moments

This is an interesting early effort by a fledgling mystery writer. It has its moments. The English-accented narration was too fast for me and slowing the speed to .85 or .90 made for better listening. The female characters were the most assured, confident, and interesting. I hope the author’s future efforts feature women as the main actors.

intriguing plot

The story lines are interesting, with a 40 year old murder exposed at the same time a more current murder is solved.
