Dead to Rights Audiobook Summary

A woman is cruelly cut down in a remote corner of Arizona, killed on her nineteenth wedding anniversary by a drunk motorist.? A year later, the driver himself dies badly, and all suspicions point to the slain woman’s still-grieving husband as his murderer. But the truth is rarely black and white in the long Southwestern shadows, and one law officer is not rushing to condemn the tragic widower so quickly: Joanna Brady, Sheriff of Cochise County. Brady’s convictions, however, are leading her on a twisted trail through inhospitable country–and setting her on a path that will bring her face-to-face with cold, calculating death in the high, lonely desert.

In this the fourth showing of sheriff Joanna Brady she has her hands full locking horns with experienced detectives on the case and budget cutting county supervisors. When veterinarian Amos Buckwalter is murdered by arson, deputies immediately suspect Hal Morgan, whose wife, Bonnie, was recently killed by a drunken Buckwalter in a car accident. Morgan, himself an ex-cop, had been picketing Buckwalter's animal hospital, handing out Mothers Against Drunk Driving literature just before the vet's body was found in a burning barn. Joanna lets her own grief keep her from suspecting him and almost loses sight of the whole cases. Besides, the widow Buckwalter is strangely stoic, even getting a makeover and playing golf on the day after her husband's death. I enjoyed this more than the first three, we are starting to get a good idea of how Joanna is handling being a single mom, she is starting to see her relationship with her mother in adult terms even while being green with envy that her Mother is getting her own life.

Book 4 in the series is my least favorite so far, but I am still giving it 3.5 stars rounded up. Joanna Brady continues to be likable, strong and smart. And the supporting cast continues to be developed well. I also feel that the series is doing a good job of illustrating the uniqueness of Arizona.

The next installment of the Joanna Brady mysteries. The book opens with a powerful opening scene of a deliriously happy couple torn apart on their wedding anniversary when a drunk driver kills the wife. Fast forward a year and the husband is out in front of the Vet Clinic owned by the driver protesting and handing out MADD flyers. The driver is later murdered and the suspect on hand is the husband. Despite much pressure to the contrary, Sheriff Joanna Brady insists on hunting for answers in an ever tangled web of lies and deception. I really enjoyed this book. I like the way things don't magically become easy for Joanna once she is Sheriff and that there are the very real little office power struggles going on. The interactions between Joanna and her daughter, Jenny, are absolutely fantastic. I think they are perfect for a young girl who lost her father violently and now her mother has gone into law enforcement as well. Not only does Jance capture their shifting family dynamic as they adjust to being two instead of three but she also captures how Jenny is adjusting to the change in career for her mother, shifting between pride and fear and anger. I'm definitely looking forward to reading the next book!

Wish the ending character roles had been better developed. More explanation and detail would have helped me put it together more completely.

Just as good the 4th time around!!!This is the 4th time I've read this book and it was just as good as the 1st time! Who killed the veterinarian? Was it his wife? Did she have help? Who killed the old man in Sunizona? Why did the jail prisoner commit suicide? Will Jenny get a horse? Will Tigger ever stop tangling with porcupines? Find all the answers in this outstanding book. Highly recommended.

Point of surpriseI enjoy the Joanna Brady mystery novels. They are a good read. However, it seems this one was put together hurriedly. I do not think all of the storyline was thought through completely. I do not see Sheriff Brady leaving her ten year old daughter overnight with someone she has just met. I like the introduction of Butch Dixon and I hope we get to know more about him. Just my humble opinion. All in all, still a good storyline, still a good read.

I am so enjoying this series. I came to it late, having spotted the latest installment in a bookstore and being intrigued by it. So I started with book one and am now eager to get my hands on book five. I like the pace of these books, as well as the characters and feel. More intense than a cozy, but not neither dark nor gruesome, this series has become my popcorn. Easy to read, easy to enjoy, always leaving you wanting more.
