Three Strikes and You're Dead

As TV's Jessica Fletcher visits the Duffys in Arizona, she watches their foster son, Ty Ramos, hit the winning run to take the Rattlers, an AA League team, to the play-offs. Later, when Ty is accused of the murder of the team owner's son, a bitter rival, Jessica moves into action. Despite seeming to be a busybody, Jessica maintains her good manners and gets to the bottom of the murder. Narrator Cynthia Darlow's knack for capturing accents is perfect as she portrays Latinos, New Englanders, stars, fans, and many others. This is a delightful choice for baseball fans, mystery buffs, and those who enjoy a good story, well read. S.G.B. (c) AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine
