Poisoned Waters

Deputy Tobias "Toby" Briggs, Book 1

De: Joel W. Barrows

Narrado por: Rebecca Valderrama

Veronica Dugan was as seductive as she was ambitious. As a small town newspaper reporter, her dreams of the big time sometimes clouded her judgment. Veronica would get the story at any cost, using every tool at her disposal–sometimes even her smoldering sexuality. But her take-no-prisoners style made enemies, so few could claim to be shocked when her body was found floating in the Mississippi River. Poisoned Waters introduces Deputy Tobias “Toby” Briggs. His determined investigation of Veronica Dugan’s murder leads him in directions no one could have anticipated. His dealings with Veronica’s former colleagues at The Riverport Chronicle expose the simmering tension between law enforcement and the media, a relationship born of necessity and mutual exploitation.

Truthful, Scary and Very Entertaining

I read the book sometime ago and loved it. When taking a trip, it popped up on audible so I decided to give it a listen. The author's prose is gripping and is brought to life by excellent narration. Excellent story that is the kind of thing that could be happening in your own community. The author is a born storyteller and this story captures your attention and does not let go.
