A Deadly Deletion

Booktown Mystery, Book 15

By: Lorna Barrett

Narrated by: Cassandra Campbell

Tricia Miles has just received a second marriage proposal within 15 minutes. The first was from her friend with benefits, Marshall Chambers, and the second from her ex-lover, Police Chief Grant Baker. Tricia's got some serious thinking to do.

She's still weighing her options when she hears the sound of an engine roaring down Main Street. It's a big white pickup truck that aims for and hits Marshall as he's walking back to his apartment. Tragically, he's killed, leaving Tricia feeling bereft and guilty. She retreats to her sister, Angelica's, apartment to wait for Baker to update her on what happened. While there, Tricia takes Angelica's dog out for a comfort call behind the building, and the same white pickup roars up the alley and just misses hitting Tricia.

Still shaken by that news, Tricia returns to Haven't Got a Clue and is met by Federal Marshal Kirby, who tells her that Marshall had been in the Federal Witness Protection Program. Everything Marshall told Tricia was a lie - in particular, that he was a widower. Was his death an act of revenge?

Tricia's on the hunt for a killer, and it seems like she might be next on the list.

Ughhhh— spoiler alert

I really like this series and have come to like the characters. The description of the town and season makes me wish it was real. That being said this one was just unbelievable… it’s like the author was getting towards the end, had no idea who to make the killer and just decide oh let’s make a long standing character be the killer. Ridiculous! It made the full of herself Tricia even worse 🙄
I love the narrator and have listened to many books narrated by her.
If I hadn’t already purchased the next book in the series I’d stop with this one. Hopefully the next is better.

Didn't see that coming!!

This was a good book!! The narrator wasn't all that great but the storyline was good!! Definitely didn't see the ending coming!!

Book 15 and going strong!

I was so happy when I saw "A Deadly Deletion", book 15 was out. I will not say more than IT WAS SOOOOO GOOD AND SURPRISING! This book will not disappoint.

Cassandra Campbell is an awesome narrator. I enjoy many of the books she has read.


PLEASE--I need to see the next book soon

old friends with shocking ending

I have listened to this series since the first book. It is not silly and Tricia is not perfect. Over the years the characters have developed,warts and all. Tricia , like all of,doubts some of earlier decisions but not in a "oh poor me" manner.Her sister is a very upbeat but learn she can also have a point unforgiveness. Without giving away the ending i will only say I was brought to tears . We can become invested in well written characters,as I have with this book. Hate to wait for the next book.

Excellent Listen

My favorite narrator,great story line and good mystery. Excellent narration and voice acting. Well worth the listen!
