From USA Today best-selling author Gin Jones....
Helen Binney is frustrated with the challenges of her lupus and is desperate to hit something - anything! So what better place to go than a martial arts studio owned by a friend? Only her frustrations remain when she finds herself in a minor car accident, a female martial arts competitor mocks her physical limitations, and the studio owner won't let her engage in any satisfyingly high-impact exercise.
But when the rude competitor is found dead in the locker room, Helen is distracted from her personal problems. She learns that the woman owned a bed & breakfast, and wasn't very good at making friends. Murder suspects abound, with several ex-boyfriends, mistreated employees at her B&B, a competing B&B operator, and a romantic rival. And the murder isn't the only mystery in Helen's life. Her handsome ex-lawyer Tate seems to be withdrawing from their newly personal relationship, and she can't get him to tell her what's wrong. Can Helen keep Tate from giving up on their relationship and defend herself against a killer who was able to overpower a highly skilled martial artist? Or will this be one fight she doesn't limp away from?

Aided by her faithful driver, Jack, Helen starts to go around her small Massachusetts town, but someone doesn't want her to poke her nose into the murder and tries to stop her. In the meantime, Helen has other concerns. Ambrose Tate, Helen's former lawyer, who rents her garage in which to do his woodworking and with whom Helen has recently developed a love interest, is being altogether too nice to her, scaring Helen. And then there is the mystery of the goings on at the nursing home, where Helen visits her friends to catch up on all the local gossip. Why have the directors been holed up in a conference room at a local B&B for days? Helen has a lot on her plate, all while dealing with the lupus that is attacking her body.
I thoroughly enjoyed getting to listen to <strong>A Darling of Death</strong>. As in the previous four books in this series, I highly appreciated the mystery, as well as the characters, who had real depth to them as individuals. The mystery kept me guessing about the direction it would take and often surprised me despite the book's having only a few major characters. The plot is heightened by the believability of the characters, who come alive in the reader's mind. I particularly appreciated the way Helen deals honestly with her lupus and has to deal with the limitations caused by living with a chronic medical condition. However, she doesn't let the lupus control her but instead works around her disabilities.
Lisa Valdini performs the audio edition of this book. Her voicing of Helen and other characters makes them spring to life in the listeners' minds, adding to the already vivid depictions of these characters by Jones. I like the way Valdini often sounds as if she is smiling as she performs this book. The voices she uses for her characters and the expression given to narrating the book add even further to the positive listening experience.
<strong>A Darling of Death</strong> was a highly enjoyable book that I appreciated getting to listen to and wanted to finish all in one sitting. As it neared a conclusion, I found myself both eager to learn the solution and dreading reaching the end because I didn't want to leave the world of Helen Binney. I give this book five stars.
