Burn Out

A Sharon McCone Mystery

By: Marcia Muller

Narrated by: Laura Hicks

Traumatized by a recent life-or-death investigation, Sharon McCone flees to her ranch in California's high desert country to contemplate her future. Deep depression shadows her days and nights, and a chance encounter with a troubled, highly secretive Native American woman begins to haunt her dreams.

Even though she is determined not to investigate anything during her stay - and perhaps not ever again - McCone is drawn into the plight of the young woman and her dysfunctional family. A murder and traces of violence at a deserted resort lead her across the desert and into Nevada, and finally to a remote and isolated ranch, where danger lies closer that she expects and where her future and life itself may hang in the balance.

Loved story line and narrator

I love the Sharon McCone series and had read much of the series prior to joining Audible. It was a pleasure to hear the narrator, Laura Hicks, as Sharon and every other character. She is quite good and just as I had imagined how Sharon would sound. Awesome job.

narrator sounds too nice

The narrator's voice didn't have the tough or aggressive edge that I associate with McCone.
