Lowcountry Bribe

A Carolina Slade Mystery, Book 1

De: C. Hope Clark

Narrado por: C. Hope Clark

A bribery case gone wrong leads a woman into the deep, dank Carolina Lowcountry on a manhunt.

Carolina Slade, a by-the-book federal county manager in the coastal lowcountry of South Carolina, reports an attempted bribe only to find herself a key player in a sting operation run by Senior Special Agent Wayne Largo from the IG Office in Atlanta.

However, the IG isn't telling Slade everything about this case or the disappearance-presumed-murder of Slade's boss the year before. When the sting blows up, both cases are put on hold and Wayne is yanked back to Atlanta, leaving Slade to fear not only for her life and job, but for her children's safety.

Suddenly, operating by the book is no longer an option.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Terrific. Smart, knowing, clever...and completely original. A taut, high-tension page-turner - in a unique and fascinating setting. An absolute winner!" (Hank Phillippi Ryan, Agatha, Anthony and Macavity winning author)

I like C.Hope Clark…. But, this book frustrated me.

I rooted for this woman. I liked her… but, the main character is the most naive woman constantly putting herself and her kids in danger from being blind to everything around her - just frustrating. She stuck her head in the sand. I wanted to just scream, “wake up you naive woman” throughout the whole book. Like … open your eyes, get a grip. What is wrong with you? I fast forwarded through some of it. The narrator was good and the story is well put together. I just got very irritated with the main character.

Wow! That went fast!

This is a fast-paced, nail-biting, edge of your seat kind of book. Well written with style! I loved it so much I wrote a review, which I rarely ever do. Now, I'm on to the next Carolina Slade Mystery book.

Love this book!!

Great book and can’t wait to read the others! Will be starting book 2 now!

Absolutely Loved the story. Narrator was Awesome

Only the author can read her book and do it justice. I love C. Hope Clark's novels.
