Suspicion of Betrayal: A Gail Connor and Anthony Quintana Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 737min
Best-selling author Barbara Parker has earned her place among the top mystery writers with her trademark blend of suspense, legal procedural, and a touch of romance. Suspicion of Betrayal is a riveting story filled with enough plot twists and shady characters to keep readers puzzled through the conclusion. Miami attorney Gail Connor’s plate is already full when trouble comes calling. First, there is a menacing phone call, and then doctored photographs arrive that foretell the violent death of Gail and her 10-year-old daughter, Karen. As Gail searches for answers, the problem isn’t that there aren’t any suspects--the problem is that there are plenty. A former prosecutor in Florida, Parker spins a seedy tale and infuses the narrative with a chilling authenticity. Narrator Barbara Rosenblat is the ideal voice for the intelligent and strong-willed Gail. Rosenblat also narrates Parker’s Suspicion of Deceit and Suspicion of Guilt. ungekürzt. Language: English.

When the body of Maggie McFarland, an 86-year-old widow, is found among the rubble of the once-famous landmark Artemis Hotel, leveled by fire nearly 70 years ago, residents of Roscoe are shocked. However, it is not the location where Maggie is found, but rather the manner of her demise that has everyone puzzled. For it isn't a heart attack that has felled her; nor has she suffered a stroke or taken a fatal fall from a porch. Her life has not ended so uneventfully. Maggie has been killed by a bullet to the heart, fired from a pistol at close range. Who would possibly want to kill this kind, gentle woman, known throughout the area as one of the best trout fly tiers within a hundred miles of the famed Beaverkill River? That is the mystery that confronts Matt Davis in Broken Promises, one of the most baffling cases of his career. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Gary Kohler.
