Bless Your Heart

A Thriller

De: Leigh Dunlap

Narrado por: Hallie Ricardo

Motherhood and murder link five very different women when a working-class detective clashes with wealthy moms in this upmarket thriller in the vein of May Cobb and Jeneva Rose.

Anderson Tupper, a member of one of Atlanta’s richest families, has been murdered in the dugout of the Little League field where he was a volunteer coach, and it’s up to Detective Shay Claypool, a single mother from the other side of town, to find his killer.

With the exclusive area of Buckhead threatening to secede from the city of Atlanta and take its tax revenue with it, Shay is under pressure to solve the murder of one of Buckhead’s own. Accustomed to handling drug dealers and prostitutes, she must now contend with an even more sinister group: the Buckhead Betties, the insufferably entitled women of Georgia’s most affluent zip code. One of them might be a murderer, but who? Is it the old-money queen of Buckhead? The mysterious new girl in town? The drug-dealing trophy wife?

It seems secrets and lies are as plentiful as luxury handbags in Atlanta and everyone’s guilty of something. Shay’s investigation will make her examine her own prejudices and discover that, as a woman and a mother, she might not be that different from the Betties after all. And if she isn’t careful, they just might take her down with them.

Good story

Easy fun read, good twists and characters. Would recommend if you like a murder mystery with a whodunnit vibe.

A Story of Contrasts

This is a great book that portrays life from different perspectives. It also explores the meaning of justice and gives readers plenty to think about.

The characters

GREAT Storyline hooked from 1st chapter to the last. I’m a southern girl and the phase “Bless you Heart” is near and dear to me.

Favorite book of 2025!

I enjoyed listening to this Audible. The artist was able to do different voices well. The southern accents of the characters added to the charm of this novel. Every single character was fun to hear. There are so many good lines in this novel that I also bought the print edition so I can underline them all!

Amazing Book!

This book was amazing. One of the best I have listened to and I listen to over 100 books a year. Highly recommend.
