The 17th Suspect

In the latest audiobook in the Women's Murder Club series, Lindsay Boxer is investigating the murders of homeless people in another precinct because she thinks the lead detectives there are incompetent. At the same time, Yuki Castellano brings a rape case to trial, with a male plaintiff who claims he is the victim. Narrator January LaVoy depicts these characters beautifully. Her Hispanic and Southern accents are superb, and she treats even minor characters with her skill and talent. The nonstop action of the thriller includes domestic dustups for Lindsay and Yuki as well as the impossible odds of finding a killer and getting a winning verdict in a difficult case. These characters vibrate with humanity as portrayed by LaVoy. What a great listen! E.E.S. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award � AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine
