Publisher's summary

Blair Mallory lives the good life. She's pretty, confident, and the owner of a thriving upscale fitness center. But in the shadow of success, a troubled member of the club develops a strange fixation on her, imitating her style and dress. Matters take a darker turn when the look-alike is shot dead - and Blair witnesses the horror.

As the media speculate on the tawdry details of the homicide and push Blair into the harsh spotlight, she locks horns with police lieutenant Wyatt Bloodsworth - he wants to lead an investigation without interference, while she is determined to probe the dead woman's life on her own.

But when someone begins to menace Blair with mounting threats, Wyatt takes notice: Was this murder indeed a lethal case of mistaken identity - and was Blair the intended victim?

Gramma is that You?

The narrator sounds, like a very old lady ; not very comfortable listening to swearing or sex scenes being read by someone that sounds like my gramma. Linda Howard is a wonderful author; if you are willing to take the chance go for it.

Really good story, almost ruined by narrator...

I love all things Linda Howard, and To Die For is no exception. The story was good. The heroine did grate on my nerves in places, and this was exemplified by the narrator. Holy Moses, this woman's voice BUGGED me. If you are able to sort of distance yourself from her inflections and delivery, then it's worth a listen. If you don't think you are able to do that, I recommend devouring this one the old fashioned way....I would give 3 stars solely for the narration, but b/c I did enjoy the story I bumped it up to 4 stars.

To Die For

Linda Howard is a very versatile author. This book is not like any other work of hers that I have read before. I laughed throughout this story. Very enjoyable.

TERRIBLE NARRATOR

the narrator should never be allowed to read another book. by far the worst I've ever heard. but this is a wonderful, funny story. try as she might, even this horrible narrator couldn't ruin this story.

I can’t listen to this narrator any longer! She sounds like a vapid idiot!

I’ll listen to the sequel, I’ve seen good reviews. This was a complete waste of audible credit! This narrator is an embarrassment to my sex!

Funny & entertaining!!!!

I enjoyed listening. It was full of wit that I can’t stop laughing at the repartees of Blair & Wyatt. I hope you write a story about Sienna Mallory. I’ve read the book a few years back & it still equally entertained me.

Fun story

Poor Blair, she witnessed a murder now somebody’s trying to kill her at least three different times, but that’s all right. She’s got police Lieutenant Wyatt Bloodsworth to save the day. And boy is he horny!!

Wonderful, amusing -- the reader was PERFECT .

The reading was SO perfect for the part that it made the audible version better than the printed one.

One of my favorite Howard books

I love this story, and listened to the entire book, but I didn’t love the narrator. The accents made sense, but the female characters all sounded nasally and older than they are in the book. I also didn’t see the need to modulate the phone voices. Great story, though! Funny and gripping at the same time, with a wonderful romance.

Good once you get past the narrator.

After you decide to continue even though the narrator is horrible, the book is funny. I have the ability to ignore a bad narrator so that the sorry is my main focus. With that said it turns out to be a good book as long as you are not looking for something deep.
