A Willing Murder

De: Jude Deveraux

Narrado por: Susan Bennett

New York Times best-selling romance author Jude Deveraux makes her debut in the world of mystery with a story of old secrets, deadly grudges, and an improbable group of friends who are determined to uncover the truth regardless of the consequences.

Sara Medlar is a household name in romance, with millions of books sold. But lately, retirement has been boring her, and she's found herself back in her hometown of Lachlan, Florida, remodeling the grand, old mansion she'd admired as a child. It's much too big for her alone, but she'd die before letting anyone in town know that.

Then Sara's niece Kate is offered a job in Lachlan - a start in what could be a very successful career in real estate. She accepts immediately, but with so little saved up, she'll have to approach her estranged yet incredibly famous aunt for a place to stay while she gets herself settled.

But when she arrives at Sara's home, she finds she's not the only long-term houseguest. Jackson Wyatt already has his own room, and though it's impossible to deny his good looks and charm - he's clearly got her aunt wrapped around his finger - she's also never met anyone who irritates her quite like Jack does.

However, when two skeletons are accidentally uncovered in the quiet town, this unlikely trio is suddenly thrust together by a common goal: to solve a mystery everyone else seems eager to keep under wraps.

United by a sense of justice and the desire to right old wrongs, Sara, Kate, and Jack will have to dig into Lachlan's murky past to unravel the small town's dark secrets and work to bring the awful truth to light.

Still My Favorite Author

I love everything Jude Deveraux has ever written. A Willing Murder is her first trip into the mystery genre and it was quite enjoyable. Unfortunately, I figured out the murderer very early on, but it’s still Jude’s voice. After so many years of reading and listening to her stories, I’ve become familiar with her cadence and speech patterns. For that alone, i loved this book. It’s not frightening or overly romantic, but it is a solid story by the magical Jude Deveraux.

Love It!

One of her best books ever and that’s saying a lot since I’ve loved them all....The narration was superb!

Loved it

So glad one of my favorites authors has branched out into this series. As wonderful as all of her wonderfully crafted stories

Wonderful!

Loved the book, characters, story, everything! Very well written and looking forward to the next one. A job well done!

A Willing Murder

A very good murder mystery, with a just a mysterious backstop. Twenty-three year old Kate takes off to meet her aunt who is a famous author. When she arrives she is delighted to meet her aunt and Jack, the 30 year old man who shares her aunt's home. Shortly after meeting them they go to check out a tree that has fallen at a house Jack is rehabbing and find the skeletal remains of the girl Jack loved when he was just 11.

Unraveling what happened, why no one seemed to care that two women disappeared 20 years ago, and who is responsible, is a study in small town politics and justice for the rich versus the poor.

Quite the three detectives!

Sara, Kate, and Jack are a great detective team! They didn't give up in-spite of the backlash of the town sheriff! LOL This was a cute book with many unexpected events. Will listen again.

Fun but enough with the food shaming

I really liked this story and the performance. The food shaming is way too much!

It all made sense in the end.

I would have liked the narrator to have a stronger voice, a bit less sweet. I was fairly sure I had the mystery solved and then not so sure. An easy listen and I will definitely continue the series.

Surprisingly... Excellent!

Everything about this book was surprisingly excellent. I was leary because it looks like this author writes romance and science fiction, while I'm mostly a mystery reader. I specifically dislike when a romance writer tries to call their book a mystery. But I don't mind a little romance in with my mystery, and that's what this was. It was mostly finding out the mystery with little bit of a funny romance, not the disgusting romance scenes that romance writers like to insert. I will definitely continue on with this series... it was a good mystery, it was funny, and an overall enjoyable experience. Loved the characters, loved the readers voice, loved it all!

Great mix of Romance & Mystery

She’s done it again.❤️
Love love love love love love love love love love love love love love it
Keeps you on your toes guessing until the end.
