Veronica Mars: The Thousand-Dollar Tan Line

The Thousand-Dollar Tan Line

De: Rob Thomas, Jennifer Graham

Narrado por: Kristen Bell

From Rob Thomas, the creator of the television series and movie phenomenon Veronica Mars, comes the first book in a thrilling mystery series that picks up where the feature film left off.

Ten years after graduating from high school in Neptune, California, Veronica Mars is back in the land of sun, sand, crime, and corruption. She’s traded in her law degree for her old private investigating license, struggling to keep Mars Investigations afloat on the scant cash earned by catching cheating spouses until she can score her first big case.

Now it’s spring break, and college students descend on Neptune, transforming the beaches and boardwalks into a frenzied, week-long rave. When a girl disappears from a party, Veronica is called in to investigate. But this is no simple missing person’s case; the house the girl vanished from belongs to a man with serious criminal ties, and soon Veronica is plunged into a dangerous underworld of drugs and organized crime. And when a major break in the investigation has a shocking connection to Veronica’s past, the case hits closer to home than she ever imagined.

In Veronica Mars, Rob Thomas has created a groundbreaking female detective who’s part Phillip Marlowe, part Nancy Drew, and all snark. With its sharp plot and clever twists, The Thousand-Dollar Tan Line will keep you guessing until the very last page.

Reseñas de la Crítica

Praise for the television series Veronica Mars

A Time, Entertainment Weekly, and Salon Best Show of the Year

“Nancy Drew meets Philip Marlowe, and the result is pure nitro.” —Stephen King

"Best. Show. Ever. Seriously, I've never gotten more wrapped up in a show I wasn't making, and maybe even more than those. . . . These guys know what they're doing on a level that intimidates me. It's the Harry Potter of shows." —Joss Whedon, creator of Buffy and writer/director of Marvel's The Avengers

"Classic California film noir. . . . Raymond Chandler in its writing." —The Seattle Times

“Sharp wits, steely nerves, and a wicked sense of humor. . . . This is one TV case we don’t want to see closed.”—USA Today

“It’s what lies deeper that not only makes the show remarkable but what defines it. Mysteries are its central metaphor; Veronica solves little puzzles because she, like all of us, cannot unravel the bigger ones. . . . Filled with deft, glorious wit.” —Entertainment Weekly

LoVe it

I am a huge fan of Veronica Mars and loved this book. The fact that Kristen is the narrator take it one step above and keeps it in line with the show and movie.

Bell should narrate all Veronica Mars audio books

Love Kristen Bell narrating Veronica Mars. The writing was so descriptive that I could vividly picture the characters and surroundings almost as if watching the TV show.

Great read for fans of the show

It felt good to be back in Neptune busting crime with Veronica. She's a bit older and a bit wiser, but the familiar tensions from show are well represented here. The plot is nothing groundbreaking but provides a seviceable vehicle for V to show her skills and chat up fave characters from the show. With kristin bell doing the narration whats not to love?

Outstanding! Another great Veronica Mars story.

Rob Thomas delivers with another tale of the incredible V. Mars. Kristen Bell provides engaging narration.

Veronica’s back!

What a treat! I’m so glad the marshmallow contingent lives on... thank you Rob Thomas for keeping Neptune on the map with another great installment in the series. The witty banter, the beloved characters and the great story all here!
