About this listen

It's 1974 and Ellison Russell's life revolves around her daughter and her art. She's long since stopped caring about her cheating husband, Henry, and the women with whom he entertains himself. That is, until she becomes a suspect in Madeline Harper's death. The murder forces Ellison to confront her husband's proclivities and his crimes - kinky sex, petty cruelties, and blackmail. As the body count approaches par on the seventh hole, Ellison knows she has to catch a killer. But with an interfering mother, an adoring father, a teenage daughter, and a cadre of well-meaning friends demanding her attention, can Ellison find the killer before he finds her?

This one was a hard one to review.
The story was very good. I just really was annoyed with the main character’s prudeness to what consenting adults do behind closed doors and her cockiness towards the police became she was wealthy. But I suppose that was part of the plot.

As for the narration they really should have got a male to do the male voices or a female who could change her voice better. She was good if she only had to do one female. It was sometimes hard to decipher between characters.
