M. L. Hamilton
Peyton and Marco have solved more cases than many senior members of the San Francisco PD, but this case (the death of a high end real estate agent) is proving more difficult than the others.
With no evidence, no suspects, and no motive, Peyton fears they won't get a break in the case before the killer strikes again.
In the multi-million dollar San Francisco real estate market, realtors are literally dying for a sale.
Please note: This is a novella, not a full length work.

I was drawn into this story from the very beginning. As the leads quickly began to dwindle, it was up to Peyton and her partner to figure things out. I enjoyed following along as things began to unravel.
I’m a true fan of M. L. Hamilton’s writing. When Kelley Hazen narrates it’s even better. So entertaining and enjoyable!

Any additional comments?
When a real estate agent is found murdered in a home for sale, lots of questions are raised. Was it random? Was she targeted? And most importantly, who did it? Detectives Peyton and Marco are assigned the case and must solve the murder before the killer strikes again. Peyton will do everything in her power, including risking her life, to bring down the culprit.Murder in the Painted Lady was a very entertaining listen with a great cast of interesting characters. I loved the witty banter between them and liked the way that Peyton and Marco worked so well as a team. Peyton was a nice mix of toughness, dedication and compassion. Using the clues given in the story, I was sure that I knew who the killer was but was totally wrong! The narration was very well done and I could easily distinguish between the characters. I really enjoyed Murder in the Painted Lady and would recommend it.
I was voluntarily provided this review copy audiobook at no charge by the author, publisher and/or narrator. This review is my honest opinion.
Great Murder Mystery

Kelly Hazen did a good job narrating the voices as you know who is talking without needing to be told directly. My one criticism however is the voice of the third person narrator sometimes sounded like text to speech, but it wasn't a deal breaker for being a good audio book.
Overall I would recommend Murder in the Painted Lady as a good mystery and an enjoyable audio book

What did you like best about Murder in the Painted Lady? What did you like least?
I liked the concept and overall idea but I think the writing/dialogue was a little juvenile/basic at times. The plot twists were really predictable and the characters inability to quickly piece simple things together was frustrating (like the murderer's choice of names - this wasn't a mystery, it was obvious from the first mention of one of the names).How did the narrator detract from the book?
Kelley Hazen was OK at dialogue but overall her narration was difficult to listen to. Her tone was jarring with her practically yelling a fair bit of the time. Her pauses seemed random and often made the story hard to follow.Any additional comments?
While there were parts of the book I didn't love, I would definitely try more of the series.This audio book was provided by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review.

Would you listen to Murder in the Painted Lady again? Why?
I was gifted this audio ARC for a honest and unbiased review from the author/narrator.M.L. Hamilton is a new author to me and I truly enjoyed my time listening to Murder in the Painted Lady and I will listen again. I liked getting to look back into how the series started before I leap in and listen to the other books. Kelley Hazen is a gifted narrator who brought the characters to life. I highly recommend that this audio book. It is fantastic for long car rides, commutes, house cleaning, crafting, or just closing your eyes and relaxing while Kelley tells you a story.

What did you love best about Murder in the Painted Lady?
The pair of main characters, Peyton and Marco:) They seem to be complete opposites and yet complement each other splendidly: she, with her love of sweets and everything unhealthy, he - a vegetarian and in great shape, and both with undisputable intelligence and similarly working brains. That's a perfect duo...:)What other book might you compare Murder in the Painted Lady to and why?
It's difficult for me to compare "Murder in the Painted Lady" to one particular book; I'd say it's rather typical for the genre, with a tad of humour in it. Within the scope of the genre it's one of the good ones, with a set of interesting characters (suspects, witnesses, detectives) and quite an intriguing murder case... And I liked the solution and the fact that it made me wonder what I would feel towards the murderer in Peyton's shoes...Which scene was your favorite?
There are a lot of scenes I liked; some of them are strictly connected to the case Peyton and Marco are working on (like the final trap for the murderer), others are rather about character development (like the scene in which Peyton manipulates Marco to get him to go to a certain restaurant:))... Some of the scenes are really funny, some are quite scary, but they serve the plot of the book excellently.Any additional comments?
The interpretation by Ms Hazen is quite good; I liked it in general, I only had a problem with some male "voices", especially Marco's and Stan's. Marco's supposed to be a very handsome Italian guy, but with the voice he's given he doesn't sound like someone who would turn every woman's head. Rather, when I hear him, I see a grumpy old man who is so tired with life that he doesn't want to lift a finger - his voice is just too low... Stan, on the other hand, sounds like a teenage boy on too many cans of Red Bull..:) Ms Hazen sounds too unnatural in these particular "roles". Other than that, it's a very good interpretation.DISCLAIMER: I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
It's a dangerous job being a realtor...

I enjoyed the interaction among the people at the police department, in particular Peyton and Marco. Those two have a close partnership and look out for each other, but also exchange friendly banter, knowing each other well. I also liked the diversity of the employees at the police department, which displays Latinos, whites, Asian Americans, and African Americans, as well as a rather flamboyantly gay medical examiner with dreadlocks.
This book is a prequel to the Peyton Brooks’ Mystery Series, so the author is writing about the near past. It is set recently enough that the detectives have cameras in their phones, but the detectives have such remarkably weak computer skills that it is almost ridiculous. While I recognize that the police have a tech department that does all sorts of fancy work, regular officers should still know how to look through the basic files of a computer. It just didn’t seem to fit with the book.
Kelley Hazen narrates the audiobook of this novella. She has a good voice for police procedurals, giving a strong performance with believable voices that suit well. The voices have strong variety that still fit the characters. For example, the first time I heard the voice of Abe, the medical examiner, I immediately knew he was gay even before he asked Peyton what her sexy partner Marco is wearing. Yet Hazen manages to do this without making Abe a stereotype. This is a very good example of an excellent narration.
Not having read any of the “prior” books in the series, meaning the ones written before Murder in the Painted Lady but set after this book, I was unsure if I would feel a little lost, not knowing things that most readers would already know. But that was not a problem in this book. I was able to enjoy it as its own stand alone book. I give the book four stars.

M.L. Hamilton has written a book I would say should be made for tv movie. I would consider it on the cozy mystery side of writing that I love to read/listen to. Bravo
Kelly Haden did a wonderful job of narrating this story. She gave a syringe range of voices to the characters and I could differentiate between them all. Bravo Kelly! !!
Like I said in the beginning I highly recommend this audio book to anyone who loves mysteries. I will state once again that I would like to see a movie made from this series.
could be a movie
