Lust & Distrust

A Larissa Carpenter Mystery #2

De: Darlene Duncan

Narrado por: Darlene Duncan

Since moving to Coventry Beach, Larissa Carpenter hasn’t found life in the small beach town to provide the tranquility she expected. Not wanting everyone in town to know that she’s the Larissa Carpenter who won one of the state’s largest lottery jackpots, she goes by LC.

Being a person of interest in two murder cases, one of which still hasn’t been solved, is most unsettling and it’s not the only unsettling thing in LC’s life. Her attraction to Detective Angela Murdoch and the feeling that she’s being followed are the other disconcerting issues.

Unsure of who’s following her, LC wonders if her former high school classmate, FBI Special Agent Amber Hoffner, has something to do with it.

Does the FBI think she’s involved in the human trafficking ring? Does Detective Murdoch think she killed Natalie Kramer? Is Detective Murdoch attracted to her or is that a figment of her imagination?

Is LC right about being followed? If so, who is it? The FBI? The local police? Someone else?

Interesting Mystery

There were surprising twists and turns in this who-done-it mystery. I enjoyed the writing. I felt the narration was slow and needed more energy.

Gripping, with a shocker of a reveal!

Larissa Carpenter … trying to fly under the radar she goes by L.C., though being a person of interest in not one, but TWO suspicious deaths isn’t exactly flying under the radar! FBI Special Agent Amber Hoffner … her last visit to Coventry Beach ended with her killing the man who shot her... talk about tangled webs! Coventry Beach Police Detective Angela Murdoch … it falls to her to figure out the who’s and why’s but with “Lust and Distrust” running rampant … it could take a miracle or three! Brilliantly and beautifully narrated by the author, this first class police procedural grabbed my attention and held it throughout! Five fantastic stars! I really enjoyed this one!
