Murder by Deception

The John Lloyd Branson Series, 2

By: D. R. Meredith

Narrated by: Michael Bowen

At first glance, he was a fine figure of a man. Even the butcher knife buried in the middle of his chest didn’t seriously detract from his good looks. But that corpse, nude except for a pair of mismatched socks - and the butcher knife, of course - is trouble with a capital T for Leroy MacPherson, in whose wheat field the body is dumped, and the rest of his extended family. It’s also trouble for the opponents of the nuclear waste depository the DOE plans to build in the Texas Panhandle.

The victim is Charlton Price-Leigh III, whose job it is - or was - to persuade local residents that burying radioactive waste in their backyards presented very little danger. That’s not what MacPhearson and his neighbors believe, and its not what attorney John Lloyd Branson believes, either. When John Lloyd and his legal clerk, Lydia Fairchild, take on MacPhearson’s defense, they find themselves entangled in a series of deceptions.

Whatever they see, whatever a witness says, can not be trusted. Even the victim cannot be trusted.

MURDER BY DECEPTION

This is another good adventure in the life of John Lloyd Branson. In this book he's trying to prove a guy didn't kill a body that he found in his land. This is a good mystery story. I think you have to pay extra close attention to keep up with everything. There is a lot going on. There is some funny lines. Ill continue with this series. Michael Bowen does a good job narrating this book.
