Tennessee Delta Series, Book 2

By: Melinda Clayton

Narrated by: Michelle Babb

On a sweltering July morning in rural Tennessee, 50-year-old Rebecca Reynolds visits the family farm, where she literally stumbles across the mutilated bodies of her parents and younger sister, a sister who had spent life in a wheelchair after a birth fraught with complications.

Rebecca's first thought is to call 911. Her second is to find her estranged sister, Lena, who was disowned by the family years before. Her third is to wonder how long it will be before Lena is arrested for the murder of their family.

As the police gather evidence pointing to Lena, the sisters turn to attorney Brian Stone. Convinced of Lena's innocence, he agrees to take on the case. But in a family ripped apart by dysfunction, is anyone truly innocent?

Fantastic Who-Done-It Mystery

Death of a dysfunctional prominent family reveals the circumstances of the why, who and how it occurred. The storyline was awesome and very well written. Michelle Babb is a narrator I love to listen to her work.

Phenomenal book

Wow! This storyline is creative and intriguing I was on the edge of my seat wondering who was the killer. The twist and turns that are within this plot really got me because I did not see all the angles coming to the forefront. I must admit that the characters in this book are realistic and relatable to everything you read about dysfunctional families. I applaud the author because I did not see that last twist coming. I highly recommend this book for people who love intrigue, drama, murder and mystery. I received this book for free and I am voluntarily leaving my honest review here of my own volition.

The plot thickens

Great story with a twist. Not what it seems and to get away with it.

A New Favorite!

This book has definitely earned a place on my favorites list. A whodunnit with loads of family drama, twists and turns, and the quirks of small town life as well as the weary monotony of living a life "stuck". Murder, greed, grudges, mistrust, and lost time, with so much going on, will the murders actually get solved, or just marked down as a horrific tragedy?

Impressive Storytelling!

This is the first book by Melinda Clayton that I’ve read and I can honestly say I was very impressed. I had a hard time putting it down. The characters were so deep and well developed and I especially enjoyed the first person POV. I usually figure out who committed the crime early on but this one kept me guessing.

Also contributing to heavily to my listening enjoyment was the talented Michelle Babb and her inspired performance. I’ve no idea how she so seamlessly switched between the voices of the characters. Some narrators seem so contrived when going between male and female voices. Michelle makes the transitions sound so natural and conversational.

Summary - great story teller with a narrator that gives life to the characters and puts the listener in the center of the action. I highly recommend this book.
